this song feels illegal to know. 8.1k views for one of the most gorgeous songs ever

Most underrated band of all time. Brilliant song, this one.

I broke up with my first love and my best friend helped me get through the pain. I’d listen to this song during this time. Now my best friend has passed away and I’m married to the girl who I broke up with originally and I’m listening to it for the first time in 20 years.

Musical saw or theremin?

One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard

I am D

what's that whaling instrument called?

i can’t physically cry but when i listen to this i can manage to tear up a little

Cry my eyes out!

Aeroplane deserves all the accolades, but there are several albums worth of other really great NMH songs.

I just can’t get enough of this song. It’s so good and it makes me feel nostalgic for something I’ve never experienced.

I feel like this song is about the experience of someone going into a concentration camp and trying to pretend the experience isn’t happening and the trauma they are going through. This is a much sadder song than people realize; It’s what makes it so captivatingly beautiful

sounds like little ghosts floating around the song

The Pat Regan cover of this is also amazing

Everyone who’s commented here is my friend

Reminds me of adderall summers crying at the park because the day was so beautiful and all we needed to survive was cigarettes, cold water and hope for the perfect night.

This song saved me.

What's the lyrics?

I will play the guitar and my "new boyfriend" (not really, tho) will sing it. He's still 13 and he's got a beautiful soprano voice and I joined the music club just so I could teach him how to sing this. I will post the results soon, if Jeff Mangum allows it, considering he's such a dick regarding his stuff being on youtube,

I fucking love you and you will never see this I care about you too much I mean I care about NMH fuck

I've loved NMH since I was a wee teen, and I love their entire discography, but this will always be my favorite song by them. I find myself singing it to myself in quieter times.

They've tie all your ends until they tie Yourself in again into something whole Something secure and lost inside And climb away All of the forces we uphold And all of the dangers we escape You wonder sometimes how long we'll hold Til all of this anger shows its way And breaks away I'm okay (x3) There are just some things we can't know There are just some things you can't face But I will secure myself and blow

Love how he sings between the beats

This song cuts so deep it is literally played with a singing saw

it song like this that make me wish they did another tour sometime soon i love neutral milk its a shame i only discovered them this year

This was recorded live in the underpass of a tube station in England.

do u have more of the tracks

I can never just play this once when I listen to it. Its such a beautiful song.

"for i am a ninja"

God, I love this song so much

if this isn't post apocalyptic after a lover passed idk what is.

"But I have really wonderful friends. They're in this band that I'm into." awww he's such a sweetheart

so beautiful wanna cry

No one will understand just how much I love this recording

God damn. What a perfect song.

i love the saw

Not sure if this account is still active, but do you have any more tracks from this demo in this quality? I think you have a seriously rare gem here my friend, please share it with us!

I saw jeff when he did that whole comeback tour years ago..honestly I stopped listening to nmh or jeff for a long time afterwards,not because it was bad but he just seemed so uncomfortable like he was forced into it or something..my guess is the guy had financial problems and had to start doing shows again...it was just depressing to be honest

Gya

Thanks for posting this!

fav version.

For I am an engine And I'm rolling on Through endless revisions to state what I mean For sweetness alone who flew out through the window And landed back home in a garden of green You're riding alone in the back of a steamer And steaming yourself in the warm shower spray And water rolls on off the round captain's belly Who's talking to tigers from his cafeteria tray And sweet babies cry for the cool taste of milking That milky delight that invited us all And if there's a taste in this life more inviting Then wake up your windows and watch as the sweet babies crawl Away

This isn't the version from holland, 1945's single; still a good version though

a good Ol' folk song to pass the time by

This is actually engine from beauty. The version in the Holland, 1945/Engine 7' is faster

I enjoy the sound of the saw very much
