LYRICS: I am drinking again I'm on my 7th cold glass of gin Life is a tribute to you, and so is dying And drinking in this way To die is what I'm trying I also try to keep my love In case an angel loves me And lifts me up with angel hoofs To someplace high above me I am drinking again I'm on my 9th warm glass of gin People argue with me But I have never been stronger Nor held so strong a feeling Inside of me longer With no one at all knowing Oh, but I know Just what I need to live this life And all of us here Raise our eyes and our spirits Our hands and our voices That your ears may hear it I am drinking again And I toast you You never will know What it is that I do
I missed the mountain goats in Denver,so I drove from Kansas City,to Lawrence, saw him at The Grandada. His Michael Jackson impression is uncanny but I think he did it as a reason to moonwalk across the stage.
I am glad I gave this song a chance, I can't say I had liked any BPB that I had heard before, he seemed a little weird to me and too avante garde for his own good, but this song is really good
3 years of toxicity. ended up friends again. told me she loved me, flirted etc. when we hung out again at last, after doing all of the relationship shit for hours straight, after messages from her like 'we're forever intertwined/ ill never find somebody like you again' she admitted that she never loved me she 'thought she did but only found out what love really was with her next boyfriend'. if you knew how our relationship was, the love/hate insanity all from her -- all of the sweetest things ever said and sweetest gazes ever caught; id continued to hope it was that more than the other side. after doing all the relationship shit again, told me she never loved me. damn. the worst part was i knew it was truer than any truth when she said it. only msgd me after she broke up with an ex. i think as a guy you never really truly stop loving your first love. so sad very few of us get it right first time around. she is flawed but she is perfect, and she will never love me. she turned me into an alcoholic bc she was, now i still live with it. alcoholism and every bit of all the rest. i have nothing and no one and want nothing but her. once i wanted her it was only her and it never stopped. life is hard but sometimes you just have to live w shit and find a way to carry on anyway. i want to be a good example to somebody some day. i used to think i got to relate to movies like blue jay, sad songs like no children by the mountain goats. turns out i didnt.
The best part is that is having to go through the heartache multiple times in-till you get it as close to right as posable ..you find the one that wants you and you quit chasing the one who doesn’t

Drinking again....never stopped. Good for you for trying to get cleaned up...or certainly singing about it. Beautiful song...I think the tempo drags a hair...change the tempo just slightly. Have the guitars push the beat and have the drums drag....vocals can wander. The dissonance of the vocals should be changed to a chorus of victory, not a dirge of failure. So much for coaching someone that wrote something from the heart.
Maybe he wouldn't have suffered for his art so much if his parents had treated him better? Should have let him be a princess like the other little girls.

Heartfelt, broken, and honest. This is what art is supposed to be.
the harder you try to possess 'art', the faster it slips away from you, and the less you understand of its mystery
@@BreakfastIsImportant I'll have a cold glass of gin to that....or 9.
Glad this song got so many views over the years. Love this song.
a classic.
It looks to have gone up a few I’m just a few weeks 😮
An absolute classic
The blues is still the best music ive ever heard
When I'm searching for something to listen to late at night this is where i always seem to gravitete to.

what
😅
why be a asshole about it
wasted
Just keep on drinkin', all of you people
Bonnie Prince Billy has and will be such a great musician to me
he`s underrated as hell. From his music to the lyrics that go with it.
LYRICS:
I am drinking again
I'm on my 7th cold glass of gin
Life is a tribute to you, and so is dying
And drinking in this way
To die is what I'm trying
I also try to keep my love
In case an angel loves me
And lifts me up with angel hoofs
To someplace high above me
I am drinking again
I'm on my 9th warm glass of gin
People argue with me
But I have never been stronger
Nor held so strong a feeling
Inside of me longer
With no one at all knowing
Oh, but I know
Just what I need to live this life
And all of us here
Raise our eyes and our spirits
Our hands and our voices
That your ears may hear it
I am drinking again
And I toast you
You never will know
What it is that I do
In drinkin again,but with Joy and not with this sadness,i cannot condemn this Song,everyone must express its feelings,music Is good,go on on playing
This is absolutely beautiful
Thank You
He said 7th and I was like hold up, gotta catch up, then I realized that'd be number 8.
Class. Real Class. Thanks For This Wonderful Upload. Regards Frank
I missed the mountain goats in Denver,so I drove from Kansas City,to Lawrence, saw him at The Grandada. His Michael Jackson impression is uncanny but I think he did it as a reason to moonwalk across the stage.
So I just happened to be drinking my favorite bottle of gin, and I clicked on this. Synchronicity.
2024.....drinking again anyone?
Deep in my cups in November
I am glad I gave this song a chance, I can't say I had liked any BPB that I had heard before, he seemed a little weird to me and too avante garde for his own good, but this song is really good
I am drinking fucking again, LOL!, AND ALONE!
3 years of toxicity. ended up friends again. told me she loved me, flirted etc. when we hung out again at last, after doing all of the relationship shit for hours straight, after messages from her like 'we're forever intertwined/ ill never find somebody like you again' she admitted that she never loved me she 'thought she did but only found out what love really was with her next boyfriend'.
if you knew how our relationship was, the love/hate insanity all from her -- all of the sweetest things ever said and sweetest gazes ever caught; id continued to hope it was that more than the other side.
after doing all the relationship shit again, told me she never loved me. damn. the worst part was i knew it was truer than any truth when she said it. only msgd me after she broke up with an ex. i think as a guy you never really truly stop loving your first love. so sad very few of us get it right first time around.
she is flawed but she is perfect, and she will never love me.
she turned me into an alcoholic bc she was, now i still live with it. alcoholism and every bit of all the rest. i have nothing and no one and want nothing but her. once i wanted her it was only her and it never stopped. life is hard but sometimes you just have to live w shit and find a way to carry on anyway. i want to be a good example to somebody some day.

I prescribe the song Myfanwy played loud, and a reading of the English translation of lyrics. Good luck to you
peace
Look up "Today I Started Celebrating Again" if you want the upbeat version of this song
Like a drunk in a funeral quire....sing ya Blues away brother 😢 namista
🥰Good music
Man, I'm tearing up!
Благодарю.
they don't make songs like they used to, man. they really don't. :(
Cool 😎
I have never drunk in my life whta im doing here
With my friends
"im on my seventh cold glass of tears!" is what i hear on the first line!?
Sort of. I still hear gin
"tears" is also in the name of "writers tears" Which is an Irish whiskey.

Except that, unlike 'tears', 'gin' rhymes with 'again'
🙏🖤
I Am Drinking Again
I am drinking again, oh
I'm on my seventh cold glass of gin, oh
Life is a tribute to you
And so is dying
And drinking in this way
To die is what I'm trying
I also try to keep my looks
In case an angel loves me
And lifts me up with angel hooks
To someplace high above (me)
I am drinking again, oh
I'm on my ninth cold glass of gin, oh
And people argue with me
But I have never been stronger
Nor held so strong a feeling
Inside of me longer
With no one at all knowing
O but I know
Just what I need to live this life
Oh...
And all of us here
Raise our eyes and our spirits
Our hands and our voices
That your ears may hear it
I am drinking again and I toast you
Who will never know what it is that I do
The mood of this song isn't sad or happy. In my opinion.
Sad

What is this song on??? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.
This is a bonus track from the Japanese edition of I See a Darkness. There’s supposed to be a second one called Ode #2, but I haven’t found it.
@@ringospub6740 I wish I they would have released that Japanese edition on vinyl (of course Japanese pressing too).
Is he dead?
No, thank god
Maybe he wouldn't have suffered for his art so much if his parents had treated him better? Should have let him be a princess like the other little girls.
Shut your trap and go away with that comment.
