I was at the first performance of Margaret in Everett and I'll never forget hearing this song for the first time. The entire theater softly singing "at the bottom of a garbage bin" and that "leave me in my pyramid" just destroys you. What an incredible performance and art piece all around.
Alright so I just heard the full story the other night bc I went to the live show and Jason told it so here it is: the story goes is that Jason grew up in Everett Washington which is just outside of Seattle. One day one of his friends visited and while driving all around town his friend noticed that the name Rucker appeared all over town. On street signs and public buildings. Jason didn't know the history behind the name but he recognized it. In the cemetery in their town was this giant pyramid with the name Rucker on it. Naturally they climbed to the top of it. The next day he goes to California to meet another person and Jason mentions where he is from and the guy instantly recognizes the name of the town and say "oh man you gotta see this" so he goes and gets this scrap book and begins to tell the story of how he found it. The story is: back in the guys younger years he was living in his van and traveling doing odd jobs just trying to get by. One night he found himself in Everett doing a job. He had his van full of trash and he was driving around trying to find a place to illegally dump it bc it was getting late and he was tired. After driving for a while he found a dumpster. He hopped out and found that it was full but it was full of old but nice furniture. He decided it would be better if he just took all the furniture to sell and replaced it with his trash so after a bit he got all the furniture out and decided to take a break. He went to light a cigarette but the wind was blowing so he hopped in the dumpster so it could block the wind. After he hopped in he found this beautiful old leather scrapbook with the name Rucker on it. He found an old candle and lit it and read it and it contained the life of a woman named Margaret Rucker. It contained the story of her life from her birth (early 1900s) to her death. It contained pictures and poems since she wrote a lot. She had a lot of tragedy in her life even though she was from a prestigious family. the guy just fell in love with the girl. And it turned out the pyramid in the cemetery was being built all throughout her life. So the song is sort of about Margaret and what it was like for her knowing that throughout her life the pyramid being built would always be her final resting place and no matter what she did and where she ran she'd always end up there.
oh gosh this is one of the songs i listen to a lot and i never knew that. i always felt like there was some story i was just missing. thank you for taking the time to type this all up!!
Love the story behind the lyrics. Basically Jason's friend found a scrapbook in a bin about a woman named Margaret Rucker from Jason's hometown (she was a bit of a poet herself). The Ruckers were an important family in that town, they had streets and whatnot named after them. There was a pyramid shaped tomb for the family and Jason was inspired by this and wondered what it was like knowing someday you'll end up in that pyramid, no matter where you try to run to.
+Mateusz Pietrzykowski That's fascinating. It gives so much more depth to the song. I couldn't help but think about it all day today - the eventual mortality of the human race. Thank you for this insight.
So Jason grew up in a town called Everett, just north of Seattle. One day, he's showing his friend around Everett, and she asks why there are so many things in the town named "Rucker" - the Rucker hill, Rucker Mansion, Rucker Avenue - and Jason is like "I'm not sure, but you want to see something cool?" So he takes her to the cemetery, where there's a massive Pyramid: www.world-walk-about.com/travel-2/pyramids-in-washington-everetts-evergreen-cemetery/ That houses the Rucker family. Jason and his friend climbed it, as is common in the town, and continued with the trip. The next day, they flew down to do a concert in San Francisco, and stayed with their friend Chicken John. They get to talking and Jason mentions he's from Everett - he typically tells people he's from Seattle to save hassle. Chicken John stops and says "I have someone I'd like you to meet." He takes Jason to another room and tells him this story: When he[Chicken John] first moved to San Francisco, he didn't have the money for an apartment, so he operated out of a van for a while, doing odd jobs. One such job was to take a bunch of trash down to the city dump and throw it away, but he spent the money on other things, and was therefore looking for a dumpster to toss his trash so he could lie down in the back and sleep. He found a dumpster with some furniture in it, and thought "I could take that out, throw the trash in, and sell the furniture tomorrow. I won't be able to lie down to sleep, but it'll be worth it." However, by the time he's done taking the furniture out, he is tired, and it's windy. Due to the latter thing, he climbs inside the garbage bin and lights a cigarette. He finds some trash in there, but also a candle. Lighting the candle and his cigarette, he looks around, and what he finds is a big leather bound scrapbook. The scrapbook is the story of someone's life - the first page being their birth certificate and the last their obituary. Everything in between is someone's life, told in newspaper clippings, sepia photos, and poems - as the person was a poet. The person's name was Margaret Rucker, and she was buried in the same pyramid Jason had climbed up less than two days ago. So Jason got as many musicians as he could to help write a show for Margaret, and compose a book for it [I own the book/album - you can purchase it for $25: www.jasonwebley.com/music_margaret.html] Before Jason and Chicken John had met, the latter of the two got sick to the point of almost dying, so he made his own show. The original scrapbook was huge, but he photocopied only 35 pictures/poems/stories to make a presentation, and told the crowd to take the book - one photo at a time. Thus, the original scrapbook is lost. However, during the research for the second show - with Jason and Friends - They found that Margaret had been born shortly before the Pyramid had been constructed, and at one point moved away from Everett, but in death was buried in the Rucker Pyramid.
The repeated "at the bottom of a garbage bin" near the end really gets me. So heartbreaking in light of all the tragedy surrounding the life of the person this song was written for. No one's life deserves to be reduced to garbage. Everyone has a story to tell that's worth hearing. Rest in peace, Margaret.
This was at episode 70A and I thought they were going to break up and I almost cried cause I was going through a break up at the time. Carlos' little speech just hit home for me.
you just reminded me of the time that my chest hurt so much due to me crying so hard because i thought that carlos was going to break up with cecil thanks friend also, i was casually listening to WTNV in the car when i listened to episode 70A and when carlos was giving his "little speech", i started bawling uncontrollably and my parents- they were very concerned
I'm a little behind on Night Vale, so I had no clue this song was on an episode. He wrote this song for a larger project of his (and several other artists) called "Margaret." An album of music based on the life of a woman whose scrapbook was discovered in a dumpster. She was a poet, a daughter of the founders of Everett, WA, and a survivor. The entire album, scrapbook, everything is just incredible. I suggest that everyone check out the full thing if they can.
@@killianbrown7280 It's on Bandcamp on Jason Webley's page. Check out the second song version of her poem My Love Left Me in April on there- it's haunting.
Its 2020, and I'm still here coming back to this song every now and then. I remember when I first heard it on Night Vale years ago and I was instantly captivated by this amazing song. God I wish this was on Spotify
I don't typically comment on videos. But I have to say, this entire story is one of the most beautiful exhibits of art and life that I have ever seen. This song is so beautiful and perfectly encapsulates the story being conveyed. Thank you Jason
I was in a dead sleep when this "Weather" came on and there is no way of shaking this hauntingly beautiful song and story. A truer ghost story there never was.
Tell me Margaret, what is coming down this river? You've been watching so much longer now than I. Do you know Margaret, just what will this day deliver, Does it work out tooth for tooth and eye for eye? They started stacking up the stones the very day that you were born. No matter how you grew, they would tower above you. You could change your name, move all the way to sunny California. But when you start your life anew, does that long shadow follow you? Who was it Margaret, that chose to resurrect you here for me, in scattered lines of poetry, This distant, wistful girl I see reflected in your eyes? Forgive me Margaret, all the ways I am mistaken, all the liberties I've taken, I've projected you in costumes I don't think were quite your size. Now here I'm climbing up these stones a hundred years from where you were born, Looking for a song that could take me to you. I have traced these roads, drove past your home in Burbank, California, But you were not inside-you've found a better place to hide. And tell me Margaret, when I'm gone, what will I want, To be left at the bottom of a garbage bin, or dusted off and pulled up onto stage? Will it please me when someone lights a candle and says my name? Will I say-leave me in my pyramid, blow out the flame and close the lid, This story's done, why can't we turn the page?
I was at Night Vale live last night, so can we just appreciate how incredible Jason is like holy shi- JAson, if you're reading this, you're incredible, and funny, and you play the guitar with knives like no other
I've never been scared of death. But, what I am scared of, is my memory dying out. One day, long after my death, my name will be said for the last time. "Will it please me when someone lights a candle and says my name?" Has to be one of the most hard hitting lines in a song (for me personally). It jusr shot me right in the heart and now I'm crying.
I own the physical CD of this, wish it was on vinyl. It comes with a short scrap book of some of the more important photos from her life as well as a few paragraphs about them. Beautiful album
This is the best weather report I've ever heard, and I'm glad someone recorded it and put it on RUclips. I first heard it years ago when investigating an anomalous small town in [REDACTED] a bit North of [REDACTED] and now that I've found it again I'm going to come back to hear the dulcet tones of the radio host named [REDACTED]. His voice is just so darned sexy. I can't get enough.
When I got to see this live at a wtnv show and he told the story behind the song i almost cried, it's such a beautiful song - i loved it before i understood what it was about so it was so great to hear the artist himself explain the song ;__;
+Charlotte Lee I don't think I was early enough but I loved the atmosphere of the show and the audience interaction made me and my brother laugh. I would have to say the music from Jason Webley was the highlight for me
Thank you for posting this. I just heard this episode last night and I really love the song. It's really cool its about this woman but it still heartbreaking.
A amazing storyteller. What greater honor can you give? whether that is someone elses story or the story you are living right now. A story we spend our whole lives telling, simply beautiful... How are you gonna write the ending?
If you ever attend a Webley show, don't leave when the show ends. Instead, hangout in the smoking/patio area of the venue. If you're lucky like I was, he'll come out and talk to people, and play some extra songs. He's a truly great performer.
Sarah Muller I believe he has a site dedicated to the Margaret album in which you can purchase them. I have the cd, luckily, from one of the Margaret tour concerts but I'm pretty sure there's a site specifically for it
Hi there!!! Idk if you plan on keep uploading Weather songs, but "When Can I Say That I Love You" by Kyle Fleming (Ep 67 - [Best Of]) is not over here, it would be nice if you wanna upload it!! :___ Thanks for this one tho, it's just so amazingly good ♥ Can't stop singing it.
There are stars in FRONT of the moon??? There are stars between the moon and earth??? I- I don't understand??? Wait are THOSE the glowing lights in nightvale??? Ok cool then sorry my mistake.

"I had dreams of Margaret, and in everyone of them she was alive"
What is this from?
What is that quote from?
@@annabellefawn4171 I wish I remembered :/
@@Luverr111 now do you remember?
It’s from ‘The Heretic’s Daughter’, by Kathleen Kent, on page 29. I think!

I've listened to this song so many times now, and yet the "Leave me in my Pyramid" part still gives me goosebumps. Powerful as all hell.
100% agree. Shivers every time! Literally one of the best songs ever made
1.Listen to Jason Webley

This is honestly my favorite weather... its so sad but in a good way and it really captured the feeling of the episode. What a beautiful song.

I'm surprised that this wasn't the weather for the episode that was literally called pyramid
Even stranger - that episode's weather was _also_ by Jason Webley, and despite being titled "Last Song" it certainly wasn't his last used in WTNV.
Its 2020, and I'm still here coming back to this song every now and then. I remember when I first heard it on Night Vale years ago and I was instantly captivated by this amazing song. God I wish this was on Spotify

You've been watching so much longer now than I.

You could change your name, move all the way to sunny California.
But when you start your life anew, does that long shadow follow you?

This distant, wistful girl I see reflected in your eyes?

A beautiful story, and a beautiful song. Jason Webley is probably the best poet and lyricist I have ever heard.
This is the best weather report I've ever heard, and I'm glad someone recorded it and put it on RUclips. I first heard it years ago when investigating an anomalous small town in [REDACTED] a bit North of [REDACTED] and now that I've found it again I'm going to come back to hear the dulcet tones of the radio host named [REDACTED]. His voice is just so darned sexy. I can't get enough.
This song..... It's great. It talks about how we want to be remembered, and the clues we leave behind to what we were. It's amazing.
Just saw him play this last night at a Live WTNV in New Orleans and man, it made my jaw drop. It was so amazing and he is so amazing.
margaret rucker is my favorite poet and this whole album is such a great tribute to her. this song has always stuck with me
not to add to the cacophony of spotify listeners but they need to add this damn song to spotify. one of the best songs ever
When I got to see this live at a wtnv show and he told the story behind the song i almost cried, it's such a beautiful song - i loved it before i understood what it was about so it was so great to hear the artist himself explain the song ;__;
Hi, It would be really interested if you could tell us what he said about the song. :)
Rachael Williams
I saw that someone had already typed the story actually - if you scroll down a bit in the comments you will see it :)
+Rachael Williams Thanks I found it :)
heard this song live last night on the Welcome To Night Vale tour and fell in love with it
I went last night too, I was sat in the 3rd row :3
+Charlotte Lee I was in row P along the centre walkway
+Thader it was amazing, loved the glow cloud, if you were there early enough to see her haha
+Charlotte Lee I don't think I was early enough but I loved the atmosphere of the show and the audience interaction made me and my brother laugh. I would have to say the music from Jason Webley was the highlight for me
+Thader the highlight for me was the murder, it made me laugh especially how he [the murderer] had no idea what to say
One of the peaks of my youth was seeing Jason Webley at Gilman for Punk Prom ❤
Beautiful weather we're having today....
as soon as i heard this song in the podcast i just had to find it
nice pfp
this song makes me cry every time these days.
I woke up today with this song randomly playing in my head. Needless to say, it was the best morning ever
Thank you. I started going to Webley's concerts 13 years ago, and
I'm really happy he collaborates with WTNV.
Amazing way to preserve a life
This song makes me feel things I can't describe
Saw this performed live at Union Chapel in London and it was amazing!
I've been looking for this song since the episode it was in came out
I wish this was on spotify
Thank you for posting this. I just heard this episode last night and I really love the song. It's really cool its about this woman but it still heartbreaking.
This is one of my favorites, I'm so glad it's on bandcamp. Thanks for posting it on YT.
I knew Jason Webley when he was performing in duo with Amanda Palmer as the siamese sisters Evelyn and Evelyn. Glad to had found his original songs!
He played with Amanda Palmer?! Like. Amanda fucking *Palmer*?!
I'm pretty sure Amanda fucking Palmer is the same Amanda with whom he visited Margaret's pyramid. :o
i love listening to this song and feeling emotions
Chills every time.
I recommend to anyone who reads this comment that they go to google and search "Margaret Rucker"
And listen to the story at Knkx! And buy the album!
Jason Webley deserves more recognition
Gah fuck I want this to be on spotify so badly.
This song was incredible to hear live. I actually almost started crying
A amazing storyteller. What greater honor can you give? whether that is someone elses story or the story you are living right now. A story we spend our whole lives telling, simply beautiful... How are you gonna write the ending?
it's a shame that i can't find this song on spotifiy
periodic relisten. This song is so haunting & dear to me.
I’m here from Evelyn Evelyn, never got into Night Vale, though I should.
I LOVE YOU I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SINCE FOREVER
Love this song but can't find it on Spotify 😭
Just finished Goethe's Faust, and I immediately thought of this song.

Didn't sleep at all last night, which is great because now I can actually cry while listening to this song.
Jason Webley, Firewater, Cop Shoot Cop. these musics move my soul.

+DontHaveSexWithSam Dammit, Sammy.
SOMEONE GET THIS SONG ON SPOTIFY
I couldn't believe this was Jason Webley, his first weather was so... bizarre. This is amazing.
+no Was that "Last Song?"
+Nathaniel Johnson Yeah, I assumed he actually had a voice like an airplane toilet.
Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much.
Very nice weather we're having
I've been listening to this song all day long, the tears won't stop. I'm at the bottom of a garbage bin.
We all are :-|
Still one of the most powerful songs about life and death.
I wish this was on Apple Music so I could binge it through the day
Omg I finally found this
wow i have so many emotions
you are a saint
Just what an incredible beautiful wonderful song, a paean to life and death.
THANK YOU!!!
for some reason this reminds me of Vertigo a bit
Thank you, the only version I could find was the live version and it's not the same :3
This is the best weather!
Why isn't this on Spotify aaaa a
Thanks
its good... very good.
I. Still. See. The. Trucking. FACE!
+Kyper E. Kamiko I you still remember whatever it was you said, you haven't been following commands.
Does anyone know where you can find this song to buy/download? It's not on iTunes and I couldn't get it from his website either...
+Sarah Muller I took it out of the actual eppisode (thanks to audacity) but you can alsways use a youtube converter to dowload it
+Sarah Muller Try bandcamp.
Sarah Muller I believe he has a site dedicated to the Margaret album in which you can purchase them. I have the cd, luckily, from one of the Margaret tour concerts but I'm pretty sure there's a site specifically for it
Are this and Webley's other incredible Night Vale songs ever gonna be released on CD/MP3/digital-album?
Hi there!!! Idk if you plan on keep uploading Weather songs, but "When Can I Say That I Love You" by Kyle Fleming (Ep 67 - [Best Of]) is not over here, it would be nice if you wanna upload it!! :___
Thanks for this one tho, it's just so amazingly good ♥ Can't stop singing it.
Hi! I'll try to have it on this channel this weekend!
Ahh! Thank you so much!
it's uploading right now! :)
Yoooooo I've just seen it a few hours ago
Isn't this the guy who wrote songs for Evelyn Evelyn?
There are stars in FRONT of the moon??? There are stars between the moon and earth??? I- I don't understand??? Wait are THOSE the glowing lights in nightvale??? Ok cool then sorry my mistake.
