love this song

the mountain goats

woke up new is a really sad song inspired by the divorce of john darnielle's parents. i never get sick of it.

woke up new - get lonely


the mountain goats latest album features songs all inspired by verses in the old testament. here's one of my favorites...

genesis 3:23 - the life of the world to come


here's the verse:
23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
