Quinlan's voice is one of the most incredible instruments I've ever heard, but honestly this song is a tour de force from Reinhart on guitar. The way he weaves throughout all the vamps is sublime.
See the old man? On the bridge? He's Hauling up a sagging net. It's full of eels Twisting through the eye sockets of a horse's head And this fiend has no family So he will outlive You and me. In the hospital you talked about Thumbing down that truck ride For the first time And the false friend Kept his back turned That's when you learned The fierceness of man Again. How long it took to reach the Sister Cities And then somehow make it back Just to tell me, "Yeah, I guess I'm still Pretty mad." Every other day The same long road to The old man down the street. Neither one of you knows What the flowers in your hand Are supposed to mean. Help! My uncle's gone insane, In his room he sits Shaking a geranium! Outside, the old dog, resigned, Leaves heavy tracks for the father Dragging the rifle to find. Every other day the same Long road to the old man down the street. Do you think someday, through all the flowers, Your eyes finally will meet? Where he'll tell you, "Honey, you know I had to shoot that dog You loved so much. You know I had to do it. Aw, honey you know I had To shoot that dog you loved so much, you know I had to do it." "Yeah, I know you had to shoot that dog I loved so much I know you had to do it
This rerecording is really great and has quite a bit more character than the original but I gotta say I'm missing the Rhodes and Vibraphone a little bit.
Definitely conflicted on this new version. I don't dislike it, but the first version was/is my favorite Hop Along song. Guess I'll have to keep trying this one
Sorry but the listeners are being shortchanged with a less than ideal mix. Compare it to this one and you'll understand. soundcloud.com/jf06/hop-along-sister-cities Saddle Creek - take note. Seriously. It's the difference between an 'okay song' and a commercial radio product.

Hop Along has some of the most deeply personal songs I've ever heard. Jesus, it shatters my soul.
Iam in love with the vocal style."i will be creepin on you so hard" standout trake tibetan pop star.definitely a decent band to check out.
See the old man?
On the bridge?
He's
Hauling up a sagging net.
It's full of eels
Twisting through the eye sockets of a horse's head
And this fiend has no family
So he will outlive
You and me.
In the hospital you talked about
Thumbing down that truck ride
For the first time
And the false friend
Kept his back turned
That's when you learned
The fierceness of man
Again.
How long it took to reach the
Sister Cities
And then somehow make it back
Just to tell me, "Yeah, I guess I'm still
Pretty mad."
Every other day
The same long road to
The old man down the street.
Neither one of you knows
What the flowers in your hand
Are supposed to mean.
Help! My uncle's gone insane,
In his room he sits
Shaking a geranium!
Outside, the old dog, resigned,
Leaves heavy tracks for the father
Dragging the rifle to find.
Every other day the same
Long road to the old man down the street.
Do you think someday, through all the flowers,
Your eyes finally will meet?
Where he'll tell you, "Honey, you know I had to shoot that dog
You loved so much. You know I had to do it. Aw, honey you know I had
To shoot that dog you loved so much, you know I had to do it."
"Yeah, I know you had to shoot that dog I loved so much
I know you had to do it
Anyone catch the T.S Eliot reference in “madman shaking a dead geranium” from Rhapsody on a Windy Night ???
this remake is incredible
i can't decide which version i like more. but still my favorite song anyways, in any version
This rerecording is really great and has quite a bit more character than the original but I gotta say I'm missing the Rhodes and Vibraphone a little bit.

What the hell does she say after "What the flowers in your hand are supposed to mean"??? ( 2:15 )
Can't figure it out!
Swdoc Dvmee It's something like "What flowers again? straw"
Swdoc Dvmee According to the liner notes, it's "Red flowers against your, red flowers against your painted shut window"
dimethylhexane Wow, thank you very much. Thank you thank you thank you.

what is it about this song that just makes me feel like a normal twenty something year old
Definitely conflicted on this new version. I don't dislike it, but the first version was/is my favorite Hop Along song. Guess I'll have to keep trying this one
Where is the old version? Do they have an EP or something? I don't see it on any of the discography I can find (Freshman Year and Get Disowned)
