It's so weird hearing a Mountain Goats song sung melodiously instead of nasally and shrill like John that I thought I didn't like this cover. I listened the whole way through and changed my mind. This is beautiful.
Ik that this is late, but here's the lyrics: Fog lifts from the harbor, dawn goes down to day An agent crests the shadows of a nearby alleyway Piles of broken bricks, signposts on the path Every moments points toward the aftermath Sailors straggle back from their nights out on the town Hopeless urchins from the city gather around Spies from imperial China wash in with the tide Every battle heads toward surrender on both sides And I am coming home to you With my own blood in my mouth And I coming home to you If it's the last thing that I do Bells ring in the tower, wolves howl in the hills Chalk marks show up on a few high windowsills And a rabbit gives up somewhere and a dozen hawks descend Every moment leads toward its own sad end Ships loosed from their moorings capsize and then they're gone Sailors with no captains watch a while and then move on And an agent crests the shadows and I head in her direction All roads lead toward the same blocked intersection I am coming home to you With my own blood in my mouth And I am coming home to you If it's the last thing that I do
This is stupidly old and I know profunditynow probably hasn't thought about this channel in 10 years, but I listen to this cover more often than the original. If I sing this song, I prefer to sing this cover of it, as it gives the song a level of emotion that the original doesn't have. It's such an entrancing cover, and I love it to bits, despite the old quality and clear age of it. I've been listening regularly for 2 years now - can't say I'll ever get tired of it. Hope you're doing well out there, profunditynow, wherever you are! You made an absolutely banger cover
this video is both an incredible cover of a song I adore and also this great and genuine time capsule into the past. this might be my new favorite youtube video.
Unique voice! and in a good way! not in a "hey I don't have anything really good to say so i'm just going to be polite" kind of way, its powerful! and yeah sure, intense but ya know, it can be a good thing! Great guitar work too, the ONLY thing I would say is that the chords are wrong, but even if you meant it or not, what good are covers If their isn't a bit of accedential or intentional improvisation on those sorts of things eh?
@profunditynow Naw that's good! Performing is performing :) Making the funny faces helps one sing better anyway, just look at any professional singers...or look at JD, man he has some intense facial expressions.

This cover is amazing! I've been so obsessed with this song lately.

I came here to say this but in my heart knew that it had already been said
I believe you have seen the All Hail West Texas I Only listen to the mountain goats covers!
BEAUTIFUL!!! Starclan may bless this girl!
Goldfeather Dubs Indeed!!!♥️
STAR CLAN NEEDS THIS!!
what's starclan?
Ik that this is late, but here's the lyrics:
Fog lifts from the harbor, dawn goes down to day
An agent crests the shadows of a nearby alleyway
Piles of broken bricks, signposts on the path
Every moments points toward the aftermath
Sailors straggle back from their nights out on the town
Hopeless urchins from the city gather around
Spies from imperial China wash in with the tide
Every battle heads toward surrender on both sides
And I am coming home to you
With my own blood in my mouth
And I coming home to you
If it's the last thing that I do
Bells ring in the tower, wolves howl in the hills
Chalk marks show up on a few high windowsills
And a rabbit gives up somewhere and a dozen hawks descend
Every moment leads toward its own sad end
Ships loosed from their moorings capsize and then they're gone
Sailors with no captains watch a while and then move on
And an agent crests the shadows and I head in her direction
All roads lead toward the same blocked intersection
I am coming home to you
With my own blood in my mouth
And I am coming home to you
If it's the last thing that I do
Thank
Thanks!

You are right!

God the emotion here is so wonderful..... So glad I decided to look up TMG covers.
haha god i know...it's because i'm a theatre person. trust me - lol it's something i'm trying to fix.
Very talented!! Wish this channel wasn’t abandoned 9 years ago :(
thought the same. discovered this channel years ago ... and somehow come back once in a while
Oh my gosh. I'm crying. This is beautiful.
"Let's see if I remember the myriad lyrics." WONDERFUL.
Commenting in 2021, fuck. Get it!
This is why covers are amazing. I expect them to be merely passable. This was spectacular.
This cover is helping me cope with my lynch syndrome diagnosis, so its definitely great
so much emotion in this song. you capture it beautifully.
Just saw this, 12 years later. Aye, what a fucking good cover!
No idea what you're up to nowadays, but I bet you're killing it!
going through old favorites, and every time i come back to this, i fall a little more in love with you and your guitar.
