That’s one of my favorite songs from that album (_We Shall All Be Healed_). The whole album is about various forms of letting go and accepting things.
Moral yearnings and hope and the annihilation of what you love sounds like a Mountain Goats theme overall, too. Let me see… I just asked Nikki which songs I should point you at and she said, “What, like EVERYTHING he ever wrote basically?” You could probably narrow it down a bit more…
She says “Old College Try,” and I think you could do worse than “Distant Stations,” or you could just get a bunch of his records and listen to them. I think I linked to some songs back during that thread a couple of months ago, and they’re still in the same place. Or just ask, or look around youtube, or, you know. The internet.
It’s the kind of theme John Darnielle has explored in a number of ways, though…
I am so checking out the rest of this guy’s work. I would have eventually, but you spurred me on. Nice, thank you!
