I've just listened to the Anthropocene Reviewed and I'm in literal tears. No one has ever put in words his love to a piece of music so accurately and purely as John did.
all these comments are from 2 years ago so i guess john recommended it then, but i'm here from today's anthro reviewed, and i definitely cried listening to it, as i usually do. a good song, i rate it 4 stars.
Jay Dot me, listening to The anthropocene reviewed at the train station, fully sobbing, starting to get weird looks: so i uhhh hhh guess i should listen to this song huh
I am twenty-seven. I am moving into the basement of my husband's family home. For the first time I feel like I am running toward something rather than away. I enjoy the sunbeams streaming through the large windows. I am reading and I am hearing New Partner for the first time. My sister-in-law has gone into labor. The day is bright and calm as I await the birth of my niece.
I’m 21. for the past year I’ve been homeless across Colorado and Wisconsin I finally made the decision to reconcile my relationship with my family and moved back to Louisiana it’s not been easy the day after my 21st I passed out due to bradycardia and the week after that I got into a fight with my father and was arrested for simple battery and spent Memorial Day weekend in jail, though it’s been a rough ride things are starting to look up we don’t always see eye to eye on everything and it’s gonna take time but we’re rebuilding and I’m hopeful to have a good strong relationship with them. Through this experience I’ve learned that I’ve been running from myself and it’s time I roll with the punches and take what this life has given to me it’s not anyone else’s experience it’s mine and sometimes I feel despondent and angry at the life I have but not tonight not right now, right now I’m filled with hope for the future and an abundance of joy and I’m sitting on a new couch in my childhood living room listening to music in my earbuds while my family is asleep I have a feeling I haven’t felt in a very long time. I hope my comment finds you well and that you and your husband are having the time of your lives! Much love from Louisiana!
@@omarabdelkadereldarir7458 apparently I listened to this song back when the podcast came out - there are liked comments here that I don't remember ever seeing before, nor do I remember hearing this song - but the book brought me here today.
There's a black tinted sunset with the prettiest of skies Lay back, lay back, rest your head on my thighs There is some awful action that just breathes from my hand Just breaths from a deed so exquisetly grand You are always on my mind x4 Well, I would not have moved if I knew you were here Its some special action with motives unclear Now you'll haunt me, Till I've paid for what I've done It's a payment which precludes the having of fun And you are always on mind x4 But hello, I've got a new partner riding with me Yes I'v got a new partner now. Now the sun's fading faster, we're ready to go There's a skirt in the bedroom that's pleasantly low And the loons on the moor, the fish in the flow And my friends they still whisper hello We all know what we know, it's a hard swath to mow When you think like a hermit you forget what you know And you are always on my mind x4 I've got a new partner, riding with me x3 Yes I've got a new partner now
This is Bonnie Will's best record. I can't think of another that's really that close. If I'm in the mood for for Palace music, this is the one I'll reach for every time!
@ I mean like... don't be upset that a bunch of people, through the sheer luck of knowing the same guy who "likes actual music" and has loved this song for 20 years, get the joyous privilege of discovering and enjoying this beautiful song and talented artist for the first time? Oh no, the song isn't dead and in a museum and new people like the thing you like?
Most people are here from (from what I can gather), Hank Green mentioning this song in a very old Vlogbrothers vid, John Green mentioning it in a slightly more recent vlogbrothers vid, or the Anthropocene Reviewed podcast, which is by John Green. Nerdfighters I believe this is our new anthem (aside from stuff by They Might Be Giants, and Hank’s music)
Thank you John for speaking so beautifully about this song. Thank you Will Oldham for writing and performing it beautifully. Hello all the listeners enjoying this for the first or 50th time. DFTBA!
Every Time I talk to you, there's something stopping you from being mine, every 6 months or so you or I start a conversation to find out if there's a possibility of an us, but its always 2000 Miles, or work, or family, or whether you or me I have a new partner of our own. You are always on my mind. Your the one and I know it in my heart. One day our paths will cross at a time that's convenient for the both of us. Until then and forever after, I love you.
The Anthropocene Reviewed was my first John Green book. I followed it with The Fault in Our Stars, he just couldn't help but include this song in there too so I had to give it a listen. I guess this is what the Hectic Glow sounds like.
In the process of Anthropocene Reviewed... John and I have a LOT of strange overlaps. THIS is NOT one of them! But, I can appreciate the dynamic of vulnerable nostalgia with a bittersweet tone. Like STP, Alice in Chains, and Nirvana for me... in an objective sense, the music is NOT good, but for the time I was in when I was awed by it, it's pricelessly good! And, like the book as a whole, music has this way of reaquainting ourselves (today) with ourselves (yesteryear)! And, like his book, which encapsulates 2020 - which we are ALL well passed - anything that can resonate across the worlds we've fallen through is beautiful. This song is great (or awful) for a variety of reasons, but the most important reason it's great for me is because of the overlap John Green and I - someone whom he most likely will NEVER meet - share. I give this overlap five stars.
Well, Hank Green mentioned your song in a video. He and his brother created a community called Nerdfighters. It's a pretty old video, though. Not that many people remember it.
i listened to this song obsessively when i was with my last partner. i showed him it and we both listened to it and thought of each other as being always on each other's minds and it made me sickeningly happy... but it seems i was the only one who really thought of him in that way. long story short, he only ever loved the idea of me and never actually loved me. he broke my heart and this song is tragically extremely difficult for me to listen to now. it came on once when i was driving and i started sobbing immediately, as the song's meaning has clearly changed for me. it's become about the struggle of moving on and of being haunted by someone you were not ready to lose. yesterday, i went to a record store in the middle of nowhere and i pored through a haphazardly stacked pile of cds, somehow stumbling upon a perfect untouched copy of viva last blues. i grabbed it immediately, despite the fact that i'm not sure if i will ever really be able to listen to this incredible song in a positive manner again, but i don't know. i definitely read too much into things as being "signs" but it felt like the right thing to do to buy it. there were no other will oldham works and this was the only copy of the album there. it felt like something i had to do and i am not sure why, but here we are. i've read through some of the comments and funnily enough, a love of the Green brothers was something else that connected me and said ex-partner. i had no idea this song had any connotation with john, so maybe i will go see what he said about it. regardless, this song is powerful and incredibly special, even if it hurts to listen to.
John Green sent me. In recent months I've had several people recommend Will Oldham and they are all around my age which brings up the question - how did I NEVER hear this guy when I was growing up?

This is playing over a Montage of people exploring somewhere. I don't know what they're exploring, a city or a supermarket but I can see quirky physical comedy to accompany the cute stuff. Ends holding hands?
One of my very favorites of his...a different inflection of "you were always on my mind" makes it his. There's a black tinted sunset with the prettiest of skies Lay back,lay back, rest your head on my thighs There is some awful action that just breathes from my hand Just breaths from a deed so exquisetly grand And you are always on my mind x4 Well, I would not have moved if I knew you were here Its some special action with motives unclear Now you'll haunt me, you'll haunt me Till I've paid for what I've done It's a payment which precludes the having of fun And you are always on mind x4 But hello, I've got a new partner riding with me I'v got a new partner, hello Now the sun's fading faster, we're ready to go There's a skirt in the bedroom that's pleasantly low And the loons on the moor, the fish in the flow And my friends, my friends still will whisper hello We all know what we know, it's a hard swath to mow When you think like a hermit you forget what you know And you are always on my mind x4 I've got a new partner, riding with me x3 I've got a new partner now
@ uhhh look at some other comments, they have answers. short answer: john green. he's an author, and makes videos on his channel with his brother hank. he rec'd this song a few years ago and again last week (march 28) on one of his podcasts where he reviewed this song (he gave it 4/5 stars). also, i understand we, the nerdfighters who keep talking about john, are invading this song and space with vague references to a man named john but this is the internet, people can do this, and people can recommend things and more people can thank those ones. so maybe you could ask who john is in a nicer way, please?
Laser Beam--I suppose you have a right to ask. If it was genuine, it is nerds who fight to decrease world suck. Not that we fight against nerds, which a lot of people think. World Suck=things going on in our world like poverty, homelessness, lack of education, etc that we can all help. Does that help?

I was hoping for some Anthropocene Reviewers here, and I’m not disappointed:D
That's how I got here.
Yeah!!!
It was on John's important song playlist from a few years ago. Just discworld this podcast today though and it makes so much more sense now
Hey hey hey that's me
+
Fun facts: in his podcast, John gave “new partner” four stars. But in his book, he gave it five stars.
I've just listened to the Anthropocene Reviewed and I'm in literal tears. No one has ever put in words his love to a piece of music so accurately and purely as John did.

This is such a beautiful song thank you John Green. ❤️
I’m here from the anthropocene reviewed book, I’m not dispointed
Did you ever listen to the podcast btw or was the book your introduction to it?
@@omarabdelkadereldarir7458 apparently I listened to this song back when the podcast came out - there are liked comments here that I don't remember ever seeing before, nor do I remember hearing this song - but the book brought me here today.
From the book!
oh wow it’s in the book ? I saw it on hanks(or johns) playlist few years ago, this is my favorite
Never heard this song before, but I’m glad to know it now. Thanks, John.
There's a black tinted sunset with the prettiest of skies
Lay back, lay back, rest your head on my thighs
There is some awful action that just breathes from my hand
Just breaths from a deed so exquisetly grand
You are always on my mind x4
Well, I would not have moved if I knew you were here
Its some special action with motives unclear
Now you'll haunt me,
Till I've paid for what I've done
It's a payment which precludes the having of fun
And you are always on mind x4
But hello, I've got a new partner riding with me
Yes I'v got a new partner now.
Now the sun's fading faster, we're ready to go
There's a skirt in the bedroom that's pleasantly low
And the loons on the moor, the fish in the flow
And my friends they still whisper hello
We all know what we know, it's a hard swath to mow
When you think like a hermit you forget what you know
And you are always on my mind x4
I've got a new partner, riding with me x3
Yes I've got a new partner now
This is Bonnie Will's best record. I can't think of another that's really that close. If I'm in the mood for for Palace music, this is the one I'll reach for every time!
I love how like 95% of these comments are Nerdfighters. I feel like John and Hank would still be in awe of the influence they have.
I can understand why this song is so meaningful to Jon, how it has followed him throughout his life.
Yup, just finished the book myself.
The irony of getting a Walt Disney World ad before and after this song 🤣
I hope it carries you to places you need to visit without asking you to stay in them
Thank you John Green, for leading me here. What a masterpiece.
i like this too
BPB's voice quivers on the edge of uncertainly in such a beautiful way...
exquisite
When there's more nerdfighters here than in the comments of a vlogbrothers video.
This song did not forget to be awesome
man the person who uploaded this is like "who tf is John?"
@ I mean like... don't be upset that a bunch of people, through the sheer luck of knowing the same guy who "likes actual music" and has loved this song for 20 years, get the joyous privilege of discovering and enjoying this beautiful song and talented artist for the first time? Oh no, the song isn't dead and in a museum and new people like the thing you like?
@ if you really loved the song, you wouldn't be gatekeeping it.
but like srsly, WHO THE EFF IS HANK?
I wonder what John thinks of the weird confluence of this channel, band, his work, and all of us... Its a good time to be alive.
Most people are here from (from what I can gather), Hank Green mentioning this song in a very old Vlogbrothers vid, John Green mentioning it in a slightly more recent vlogbrothers vid, or the Anthropocene Reviewed podcast, which is by John Green.

And the mountain goats
I'm crying, thanks Jhon Green ❤✨
His voice is just palpable here. His delivery just makes this song shine!
Thank you John for speaking so beautifully about this song. Thank you Will Oldham for writing and performing it beautifully. Hello all the listeners enjoying this for the first or 50th time. DFTBA!
Any Nerdfighters?
DFTBA :)
it's kinda overwhelming that so many of us are here because of the same person and it makes me almost cry
Beautiful song ,I've always loved it . Reminds me of very dear friends.
Dear friends are most precious
Thank you for this, John Green
Was 100% expecting a mountain goats song. John Green has slightly diversified his music recommendations.
LMAO SAME
Not really.
he mentions this as his favourite song in the first question Tuesday of 2008 video. So, quite early on, actually
The worst thing about this song is that it ends.....
thank you john ❤
Yeah, I'm here because of Anthropocene Reviewed.
Simply awesome, so much awesome in fact that I can barely listen.
Thanks John Green. Good song. 5/5 stars.

Thanks John. I really like this song.
john is so good to us
so fucking perfect, thankyou john.
bonnie prince billy, will oldham, new partner. everything he does is amazing! i wish i culd own all of his stuff and listen to it non stop!

This song's hook is always on my mind.
Here after AR. glad to know this song!
The Anthropocene Reviewed was my first John Green book. I followed it with The Fault in Our Stars, he just couldn't help but include this song in there too so I had to give it a listen. I guess this is what the Hectic Glow sounds like.

Came through the book!

Man, I feel the way in this song about Will and Palace and the crew on Sth 2nd. An old love from 30 years ago. Sean from AU.
A beautiful piece of majestic crazy inspired genius...
thanks john!
one of the sweetest love songs
Just discovered this song, so great!
Thanks John 😂😅
thank you john green
"Just breaths from a deed so exquisitely grand" - genius
Thank you to John green for introducing me to this song
So, do the Nerdfighters like all of the music I do or something?
John green loves this song

john stop trying to make me feel things I have stuff to do
Do all nerdfighters have the same taste in music or what??
What's a nerdfighter?
SNOK! HUMPH! Fans of John & Hank Green's RUclips channel, "Vlogbrothers", whose main goal in life is to basically make the world a better place:)
I currently know nobody in my daily life who even knows about Bonnie Prince Billy, so these nerdfighters are a rare breed apparently.
Laser Beam--I suppose you have a right to ask. If it was genuine, it is nerds who fight to decrease world suck. Not that we fight against nerds, which a lot of people think. World Suck=things going on in our world like poverty, homelessness, lack of education, etc that we can all help. Does that help?
To Dark Lord... I would like to think we don't because I didn't find that particularly harmonic or melodic and I am a bona fide Nerdfighter.
I'm here because of Glen Hansard
