    Saw them tonight in Glasgow. John played this during his solo set, said he couldn't give it his all unless we did NOT sing along with it. You could have heard a pin drop as two thousand fans gave him and the tune the respect they deserve. I'm guessing I was one among many of them with tears rolling down my face at the end. Stunning. Thanks John for making an old man cry. Xx

      I hadn't heard it, was at the gig, finally looked up the setlist the now and that's how I ended up here. It hit powerful first time I heard it, glad to see it holds up on a relisten

    I will always get chills when he sings: "It's good to be young, but let's not kid ourselves, it's better to pass on through those years and come out the other side with our hearts still beating, Having stared down demons and come back breathing." Thanks to John Green's best of the decade video for reminding me of this total heart ripping banger of a song.

    I was there to hear this performance in 2013, and I've circled back to it as the exact message I wish I could send that version of myself from my vantage point here in 2024. People were mean to her, but I always thought she was cool. People should have told her she was awesome instead of taking advantage of her. She was holding onto hope of better days coming, and when she did, she was right. We love our life now, and the painful memories only flex their power over us a little of the time.
    From the bottom of my heart, thank you for immortalizing this so I could hear it again in my hour of need.

    Full disclosure, the mountain goats were a band I'd long been advised to listen to but never got around to doing so. So I was watching the livestream and this song fucking blew. me. away. Of course I had to find it right away, and then was devastated to learn it was never recorded. So I definitely felt it necessary to share this one :)

You could hear a pin drop as two thousand Glaswegians (and little old English me) gave him and the tune the respect they both deserve. Not ashamed to say, I was one among many with tears streaming down my face at the end. Awesome! Hope you and your son enjoyed the gig as much as I did, and I hope even more John played this for you.
