LYRICS
I hope that our few remaining friends
Give up on trying to save us
I hope we come out with a fail-safe plot
To piss off the dumb few that forgave us
I hope the fences we mended
Fall down beneath their own weight
And I hope we hang on past the last exit
I hope it's already too late
And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here
Someday burns down
And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away
And I never come back to this town again
In my life, I hope I lie
And tell everyone you were a good wife
And I hope you die
I hope we both die
I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow
I hope it bleeds all day long
Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises
We're pretty sure they're all wrong
I hope it stays dark forever
I hope the worst isn't over
And I hope you blink before I do
And I hope I never get sober
And I hope when you think of me years down the line
You can't find one good thing to say
And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out
You'd stay the hell out of my way
I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand
And I hope you die
I hope we both die

Damn the lead singer looks exactly like i would imagine a lead singer of the band named The Montain Goats would look
Pandemic Johns long hair and gotee truly encapsulated the look of a mountain goat... I wish he'd never got it cut lol
@@endersquid1132 love his hair tho
TRUE
I know this is irrelevant but idk why Billie Ellish is so popular and not the mountain goats.
@@alchemistofsteel8099 because both are famous, it took me a long time to realize this but just because someone is successful doesn't mean they are not popular. Its not cool to hate on the in thing. It just makes you look like a dick who thinks there edgy.
Embrace the things that make you different. Don't ridicule others for the things they like and your part way onto enjoying a good life
music for people who feel bad when something good happens and good when something bad happens
fuck that actually hits deep. i've been like this for so long without even realizing it
this song really got me through the happiest brightest moments in my life and after 7 years sober i finally managed to relapse.
Congrats bro. I’ve got 2 wonderful days sober and I can’t wait to fall off this beautiful wagon! Wish me luck!
@@seanbond3307 this made me chuckle, guess im in the same place. I really hope you're doing better, genuinely. we are all here for similar reasons
First got into the band through an Episode of Moral orel where this song is used. Very glad I continued to listen.
Watched that episode just last night and couldn't help wonder about the song. That's why I'm here too
@@retropwn7596 Glad to hear it.
Same introduction to the band for me. A year and a half later and I'm also glad I kept listening.
Same for me, watched it last night and I’m hooked. That chord progression in invigorating
Same
I love every version of this song, and I think my favourite part of this one is "all die" instead of "both die" at the end there
They did “we all” instead of “we both” at a concert I went to, and it was oddly connecting. lol.
Never even noticed, solid catch
from Orel to liking the band, this is my first and favourite song of this band. Old college try is the 2nd
"Like a trashcan fire in a prison cell. Like the searchlights in the parking lots of hell" is seared into my brain forever
I'd hate to sound pretentious, but I really do feel this is one of the most important songs of our generation.
I agree
Pretty sure you're not wrong
For what it's worth, I'll die on this hill with you
banana man is literally a song that exists though
TRUE
My favourite thing about this version is John just changing the metre of the lyrics and not giving a shit about Peter trying to harmonise. Bless them. So good
I found this band a year ago, through watching Moral Orel. I fucking love these guys. I feel like a lot of the songs are genuinely real, coming as a kid from an extremely dysfunctional family.
sorry bro
Seriously, my kiddo randomly made me listen to This Year and I have been using their songs for years now. I absolutely their music and their shows are even better!!!
Best breakup song ever
I concur.
Movies by alien ant farm is up there too, the exact opposite vibe lol
This would sound amazing, live in a pub in Dublin.
relationship goals 😍
I love this song and must have listened to it hundreds of times. This is the first time it's made me cry.
You’re in good company, I love songs that approach a subject people tend not to like to talk about with a dark sense of humor
Holy mother of god. Even on the worst day of my worst relationship, I never felt nearly this bad.
One of my favourite Mountain Goats tunes. Also an absolute joy to play and sing on the guitar, especially when I'm bummed out about love.
Bless Moral Orel for introducing me to this amazing band!🔥
Why do they all look like music teachers?
Cause they’re all hugely talented middle aged musicians, and music teacher is a pretty fail safe profession for that demographic
Their pianist was a private music teacher for some time. He taught piano and sax at least (likely others I cannot remember). Incredibly talented and chill guy!
When I saw them live in Manchester recently he said that this was written as a response to ‘I hope we dance’ which was everywhere at the time.
Lyrical brilliant, love it . Sadness isn't sad it is relevant to the relationship in the song .
This is a failed marriage and everyone is left dead inside .
Brilliant!
It's appropriate, how much John looks like Adam Driver in this.
Clay Puppington and Bloberta....
I sing this song even if I'm happy, it's just so good
This band Is f***ING amazing .
Your Tallahassee album keeps me from suicide and such thoughts
Thank u moral orel for introducing me to u guys many years ago
Youngstown Ohio
I heard them in the Raleigh area at a brewery some years ago...the bass player drove a very cool old Volvo, if my memory serves me right. I love the band and Im also a gear head so that was cool
It's terrifying to think about how horrible it can be to share your life with someone who ends up becoming a monster that you want to kill, but it also makes you want to die.
When you start something with someone, with all the love you have inside, and then things end up making you want to suffocate the person you loved to see sleeping next to you with a pillow. The person with whom you wanted to sleep and share your existence until the end of their lives. Ironically, until the end of your life.
That melody start is magical🥰
I need this song played at my funeral, no matter what!!!
I'm loving these Jordan lake sessions
I watched the whole 30 second ad just for you. Love you boys!
i was so hoping that the “jazz no children” intro was gonna make it into this (still grateful for the upload tho 💙)
“Jazz no children” where can I find it??
I really hate making up names for this kind of stuff i’m not quite sure, when they did the livestream of these it was the intro to them playing this song, i’m hoping that if they release jordan lake sessions 3 & 4 it’ll be on the album with them
@@jorgepeat9898 Sessions 3 and 4 were such a blast, I hope they get released too!
While introducing the song the band improved a jazz version for about 30 seconds before they launched into the real track
The jazz one is now up on RUclips just search jazz no children
I never laugh and cry to a song before 🥲
and i hope the junkyard a few blocks from here someday burns down....and i i hope the rising black smoke carry's me far away and i never come back to this town....i so love this song
This is a great bar song
This song is such a mood.
If a tear is not forthcoming...maybe your an alien?
The mother of all break up songs
This would make a great theme song for a sitcom.
the alpha couple hit up Cheers, the bar from Cheers.
Let me tell you about this show called Moral Orel
@@vidr1058 ah yes my faviorite feel good sitcom. Season 3 is especialy optimistic
Have you seen Morel Oral?
@@mania1999 It is tho. The whole message is just because you may have a truamtic experience you can still live a happy live and be optimistic
20 years on and still hits. Heretic Pride is the album that helped keep me from killing myself when it dropped, but this was the song that let me know that there was more to the pain I was feeling than what was popular (no shade to the early 00s, just that sometimes you need the more mature angst).
I've been waiting for the session with this song
i was so psyched when i found out jon wurster drummed for this band because i love him in bob mould’s backing band.
Imagine this playing this in a Moral Orel remake
Tallahassee is really a fantastic concept album. In all ways, the Alpha Couple got what they deserved.
2016 was the worst year of my life. I had to euthanize my best friend, my 7 year old aussie mix dog because of the health issues that had plagued him for 5 years. My city flooded, and my home, my car, and everything I owned was destroyed. I was in my mid 30s, and I was homeless, posessionless, and at the lowest point I could possibly imagine, except for the fact that I still had my family. My wife also left me around that time. That was the only good thing I experienced in that time. I pulled myself out of depression and self harm, and from 2020 to today I rebuilt everything I lost, dropped 120 pounds, and got myself into the best shape of my life. Physically, mentally, and spiritually. I must have listened to this song every day during that time. If anyone that reads this is struggling with feelings of resentment, or hatred for someone that has treated them badly, please...... know that you can pull yourself out. Let go of those feelings and focus on yourself. You can do it. To quote Bojack Horseman, it gets easier. Every day it gets a little easier. But you gotta keep doing it every day. That's the hard part. But it does get easier. Don't let toxic people control you.
well, if no one has said their proud of you yet, i’m telling you now. i’m so proud of you! ❤
I never realized how much John looks like Serj Tankian from soad
beautiful
Literally going feral over this song it is my all time fave
Nice frickin' books, Darnielle.
Seriously, though. Read 'em.
I'm really glad they embraced the newfound popularity of this from TikTok
Love it
1:26 that baby grand perfection
Buena canción que combina con moral orel😮
How many people watch moral Orel here?
Moral Orel
Ive never seen such attitude from a guy sitting down playing an acoustic guitar.
love this song but he is too happy to sing it anymore
I see that as the best possible problem. It means he's not going through the same pain he was going through when he wrote it.
The song has always been kinda funny in how bitter it is
I know this might get lost, but I noticed that the drummer has his left stick held like a jazz drummer, and it sounds like it in his playing.
"Mom, why did you marry dad?"
So like this has always been a bop but like.... Have yall ever heard superbloom by misterwives?
Moral oral in a different universe
I reading that part of why this song came about was the writer of the song hated the song “I hope you dance” and kept saying I hope you die over it
*A bear shot Orel!*
Well, why not?
I can't tell if he's sung this song so many times that he lost his voice yelling or if he's gotten over it so much that he can do it goofy anymore.
Can these be watched in one video?
The four Jordan Lake Sessions were originally streamed live. What's being uploaded here are the individual songs. The complete audio for the first two Jordan Lake Sessions are available on The Mountain Goats' Bandcamp page. Neither the audio for the second and third shows, nor any of the Sessions' videos have been officially released yet.
@@SephNite Not sure if you've seen, but they're all up on the channel already!
I feel seen, lmao i don't hate anyone but i feel seen
Traditional grip? TRADITIONAL GRIP!!!!!!
My middle son and I sing this as a duet
I kind of want to sing it as a duet with my brother to our parents to make them look at their terrible relationship they’re too scared to get out of
Does anyone know any origin on this song?
She didn’t stand in my way 😂
Duncan Trussell family reunion
I’m in a very happy relationship and this song makes me want to break up with him for like 3 minutes so I can really feel it
“Still hate her.”
he started to sound like a goat there at the end
Markiplier
There will be no divorce!
Bro i love the mountian goats but what da hell is this
Anyone here from tiktok?
moral orel
Wow. Meaningless, hateful, blackpilled song full of spite and suicidal thoughts. That’s your entertainment nowdays ladies and gentlemen. Horrendous and uninspired. The laugh by the singer suggests it’s a joke maybe? I hope so! If you’re deriving pleasure from this song legitimately and without irony, all I ask is that you question what you’re getting from the source material that might be giving you this feeling, because I’m missing the point.
This song is about a couple who have been trying to make their relationship work out of spite, but are really in a desolate state. If you've ever gotten divorced, or have had divorced parents, there's a real rawness to it. And really, the laugh? You ever been so upset that you just laugh? It's a normal mechanism we have as humans, to make a joke out of tragedy.
In the last set of lyrics:
"And I hope when you think of me years down the line
You can't find one good thing to say
And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out
You'd stay the hell out of my way
I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand"
It's anger at the friendship they once had, mourning at what's lost, and just being sick of each other, all in just a handful of words.
It slaps.
Art is subjective and maybe you cannot wrap your head around the meaning within this song because its not for you. And that is ok.
Nah I understand it fine, it just straight up fuckin sucks.
@@MacNasty11 lmao
This is not very good. Very meh.
Love them but I didn’t care for this performance. John’s vials seemed rushed and much too fast compared to the instrumental. Also, the piano overpowered everything else. There’s some great guitar work in this song that you can’t hear.
This song got me through the darkest points of my life. Thanks for all the years of cynical optimism
It haunts my very footsteps... and I hope.. I hope that we live to see better days
So ironic
@@hahppyhour5380 there is comfort in knowing someone understands
“Mom, why did you marry dad?”
“Oh, well why not?”
“Well it’s just that…when he drinks, he..changes.”
“Oh he doesn’t change Orel, that’s just his true nature coming out!”
*bloberta closes door while crying*
is this a reference to something
oh is it moral orel?
@@nathanvanderpool1175yees. Great show
@@nathanvanderpool1175 yes
I love the way he laughs at the end. As if he hasn't just sung the saddest and most terrifying song in existence.
You must have an incredibly limited view of what sadness and terror are if you think this is "lol so deep".
Touch grass.
@@SurfersHandler Yeah but that's just like... your opinion man.
@@SurfersHandler It's a light-hearted take on complex issues.
There's definitely a lot of hyperbole and sarcasm that make the song humorous. A lot of people use humor to cope with hard things. It's valid.
I feel like a horrible person for listening to this while in a relationship but the temptation is too strong.
Oh?! Why!
I don't feel like this is a song about cheating if that's what you're getting at. In my opinion, Its a song about falling out of love with someone in the worse possible way while still being in the relationship. the person in the song once loved this person, but every feeling of love has turned into bile and hate, something has gone very wrong and everything that they once loved about this person has just become more reasons to leave. Though they don't want to leave cause that would just be admitting to defeat, so they stay together almost out of competition with on another.
I mean they could of cheated, but I think the title is the reason. The couple can't have a baby and its tearing the relationship apart because they are blaming each other.
@@darkmyro I mean I think "I hate our relationship I hope we die" is a bit of a weird message for me to listen to.
@@user-jn1wm3tb8v well as I said its basically an anti-love song. love has turned to hate, and its basically the person in the song talking about how much they want the other person to die, then immediately pointing that feeling inwards because the other person made them feel this angry and depressed. like there's a part about wanting to cut yourself so you can feel something in the song and not wanting to become sober again, to just be numb to the world. the song is about anger, frustration, and hate because all the love has left the relationship and those emotions don't always make total sense all the time. You can get angry and flustered and not really think coherently when your mad. I think when viewed from that lense it makes sense and you can understand where they're coming from.
its not so much "I hate our relationship, I hope we die" its more " you've caused me so much pain that I hate you and I want you to die and that depresses and angers me so much I wanna die." they dont actually want them to die because of the lines later in the song about how years down the line he hopes they cant find a good thing to say about him and he just wants out of the relationship, and maybe they both do, they just don't want to admit it cause they're in to deep like they're married or something close. Its just that in the moment, that's all he can express.
The song is like a bad argument between a couple. The kind where someone says the worse things to each other. Where They're just trying to say things to hurt the other person cause in this moment they hate them.
Whenever I sing it my partner says “that is NOT a healthy song”
I'm just so happy so many people love them now. 🥰
I am drowning. There is no sight of land.
One of favorite songs, thanks for including it in the Jordan Lake Sessions.
Was introduced to this band in 2020. The worst bit is I feel I owe Kim Hill (Radio NZ National) a debt of gratitude.
This is a once in a decade find. utterly EPIC!
John you may never read this but oh well.
I first heard you through this song in moral Orel...teenage me was going through some really heavy stuff. Your music literally helped me stop killing myself. You've hurt so much and through your pain on your songs I was able to find peace and relief, im not the only one. I've seen you live many times ... I know it's cliche , but you really did save me. I've been so close to suicide and your music is what I always turn to. So thank you. Even if you never see this...thank you.
Kiki & herb brought me here...I figure if I ever get married, I want this to be the first dance....when I die, well, people can dance then too
This is one of the most beautiful songs in existence
I have been summoned by the power of
"mom why did *you* marry dad"
Got my tickets ❤
Jon Wurster going offffff
One of the greatest love songs, honestly.
This song helped me realize I was living in a dead relationship years ago. This was the catalyst I needed to hear at the time. Thank you for changing my destiny. I was so lost. Now I am feeling lost again. But this time I recall the pain I have been through. I have come a long way… blessings to all.
Yay, birdie!
real ass dude!
Beautifully triggering song.
for a sensitive person, yes
Don't get it.
