The sad part of having to go to school is, that at some point you have to go to bed and therefore can't listen to Mountain Goats in the next many hours10 years ago

I can't believe there are only 16 comments for this song... possibly THE best presentation through music of mans hatred of himself and how we get through it... or some anyway. I disagree that he isn't religious... he's just doing it the way it should be done. This live version so kicks the ars on the original :)10 years ago

I've been an atheist almost all my life. The day that John Darnielle dies, I will hold a candlelit vigil. The guy's a Catholic and, well, if anyone deserves to go to heaven...10 years ago

Wow, the acoustics in that place are to die for.10 years ago

When he was interviewed just last month on the WTF Podcast he said that he is Catholic. He is not necessarily a practicing Christian as he does not attend church and, let's be honest, probably doesn't believe in God. He's mostly like me and you, appreciating the religion and its teachings from both sides, "good" and "evil".10 years ago

Is John Darnielle religious or not? I'm on the boat where I'm not religious but greatly appreciate the doctrine (and especially church history). So Where is he coming from?11 years ago

John Darnielle does indeed burn hotter than the Sun.11 years ago

John talked about how many people have interpreted this as being a very happy song, stemming from the uplifting sound and seemingly optimistic chorus. However, he actually described the song as being someone who is more or less at the end of their rope, but maybe has one thing left that is keeping them from complete despair. The song is about someone who is extremely depressed, and just barely holding on.11 years ago

It's the little stutter, it's the "s-surely you will be saved one day?" that hits me with this one. The way it breaks and the certainty breaks with it.11 years ago
