From TMBGs new album Glean. Get it! http://bit.ly/TMBGlean. Video fully assembled from original parts created by Chris Smith for TMBG's live show and recycled here. Thank you Chris!

how thoughtless of me

how dumb can you be?

hopeless, wasn’t that

what you called me and in fact

it was even more true than you knew

where did the end of the rope go?

I forget now, did I let go?

after you left me hanging on your words

which hung down like a rope

where did the end of it go?

I’ll never know

you’re gone, but I’m still there

clawing at the air

now it’s curtains for me

and I’ll spend eternity

doing joyless cartwheels in the void

where did the end of the rope go?

I forget now, did I let go?

long ago you left me hanging on your words

which hung down like a rope from the sky

where did the end of it go?

no one can ever know

where did the end of the rope go?

I forget now, did I let go?

once upon a time you left me hanging from your words

which hung down in the ether like a rope from the sky

wherever did the end of it go?

no one can ever know

It reminds me of "closer" except with way better music, way better lyrics, and a way better video.

I like the song a lot. Great job! Perhaps the rope was eaten by your dog. Now you have to wait for dog to begin to pass the rope from its system. When this starts to happen, DO NOT PULL THE ROPE.

This video is full of TMBGverse symbols.

Does this remind anyone else of Amy Winehouse for some reason? Something about the melody and chord progression...

Turn around! Turn around! There's a thing there that can be found! It's a human skull. Human skull, on the ground! Turn around!

So at the end of last year, when I was eagerly anticipating the start of the 2015 Dial-a-Song project, my expectations were something like this: short, early draft song sketches in the style of the live versions of the Venue Songs - which were awesome - and static images or Flansburghesque found-footage slide shows for the videos. And I was excited to look forward to that. It never occurred to me we'd be getting fully produced songs and videos every week this year! You guys have exceeded every expectation I had for this project so far.

My only explanation is that the Johns had a plan for 2015 about 10 years ago, and kept collecting their best songs for one mega-year of amazing releases. That's how they keep doing it.Either way, the guys are on form at the minute, and I'm loving every second of it.
