@@branland7464 I kinda figured he was one of the main vocalists but appearantly he left the band early on. According to my research he also did some contributions after he left so I dunno. It does kinda sound like him singing on I have been floated by honestly have no idea now. Theres not much info on his OTC contributions.
I keep finding more and more beautiful NMH songs that I've never heard before. This song, Oh Sister, Gardenhead, Jennifer, and more all knocked me on my ass. These are all pretty simple songs (except maybe Gardenhead) but I've never heard anything like them before. Jeff Magnum's style is incredible.
NMH had a lot of hidden stuff no one's heard of, like Unreleased Demos #1 and #2, which I believe what this is off of. But yeah, their stuff is incredible, and I'll always wish for more. But what we got now ain't half bad.
If I were a mirror I'd look right deep inside myself And if things were much clearer I'd see a brighter day And if you were my lover I'd wrap your locks around my wrists And shake beneath the shudders that turn to black or fade For you know that life is never ending But sometimes the miles just seem too long to try But I've got a love, she is my anchor She held me down and saved my soul So take the blood and hate and anger and let it go If I were the summer I'd give my light to all the world And wake you in your slumber so you could see my eyes And as your feelings crumble and all the words I keep unfurl I'll catch you in your tumble and kiss your face goodbye For you know that life is never ending But sometimes the miles just seem too long to try But I've got a love, she is my anchor She held me down and saved my soul So take the blood and hate and anger and let it go If I were made of water I'd slip my bones into the cracks And freeze when it got colder to hold the walls in true And when it came to summer I'd slip my soul into the yard And give life to the flowers that I never gave to you You might also like Follow Me Down Neutral Milk Hotel Jennifer Neutral Milk Hotel In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Neutral Milk Hotel But I know that life is never ending But sometimes the miles can cut you down to size But I had a love, she was my anchor She held me down and saved my soul So take the love you never gave her, and let it go
omg how come I never heard this song before? :o Man all this NMH unreleased material makes me realize if they ever decide to release a third record it will fuckeen slay!!
Something about his voice in this period is so good and I wish there was more. The psychedelic imagery in the lyrics and bright melodies are so cool
Have you heard Olivia Tremor Control? Jeff was in that band and he sounded alot like this, I honestly like it a decent amount more than NMH
@@Qwertyuiopaz I do listen to them but I didn’t know Jeff sang in it. What songs does he sing?

Because of the ending, I like to imagine this song being connected to Naomi.
rose walace goldaline :cool:
This is the epitome of this type of music I love this song
this song and others like it by jeff have shaped me as a person. i'm forever grateful for that
If I were a mirror I'd look right deep inside myself
And if things were much clearer I'd see a brighter day
And if you were my lover I'd wrap your locks around my wrists
And shake beneath the shudders that turn to black or fade
For you know that life is never ending
But sometimes the miles just seem too long to try
But I've got a love, she is my anchor
She held me down and saved my soul
So take the blood and hate and anger and let it go
If I were the summer I'd give my light to all the world
And wake you in your slumber so you could see my eyes
And as your feelings crumble and all the words I keep unfurl
I'll catch you in your tumble and kiss your face goodbye
For you know that life is never ending
But sometimes the miles just seem too long to try
But I've got a love, she is my anchor
She held me down and saved my soul
So take the blood and hate and anger and let it go
If I were made of water I'd slip my bones into the cracks
And freeze when it got colder to hold the walls in true
And when it came to summer I'd slip my soul into the yard
And give life to the flowers that I never gave to you

had no idea. this is really good.
This has got to be a favourite nmh song for me
this is pretty cool
This sounds a lot like Everything Is and Where You’ll Find Me Now
what a beautiful song
The singer doesn't sound like the same person at all but the musical style is unmistakable.
Such a great song
For you know life is never ending... ✨

Simply a great song
The final line is actually "so take the *love* you never gave her", not blood

Kind of sounds like REM. I like it.
It's supposed to be "unfurl".. not "will twirl"
i hate love 🖕
