Honestly John looking me and my partner in the eye and saying "this is for young lovers who have reached their expiration date" on the last trip we took together is EVERYTHING TO ME
Oh man, I was at this show and I just remember being drunk and obnoxiously screaming the lyrics to this song at the end. When I saw this recording existed I was worried I would hear myself and it would be super cringy, but everyone was doing it and it was totally cool.
If you had told me twenty five years ago that the mountain goats would pack ballrooms full of young people singing along to their songs I would've not believed you move than anyone had not believed something
This was like at least the 3rd encore we coaxed them back out for, so when he said "I hope you/we all die" I'm pretty sure he meant it. We sang like maniacs for that and "Cry for Judas" and many others. It was like singing to the Mountain Goats in my living room at the top of my lungs WITH the actual Mountain Goats for an hour and a half +/-. But after this one we knew the show was really over and hit the exits. Such a beautiful, amazing night.
4:24 i bet those people think about that moment late at night when they’re sad and sobbing, or when they’re listening to this song on full blast in the car late at night, and it makes it feel just a bit better. id pay so much, so so much, for that experience. wow. love the way this song is played. holy shit.
When I am absolutely drowning in my thoughts, my anger, my hurt, this song is like a worm in my head, screaming a story I wish I would have screamed myself
Anybody notice at 4:02 when he takes someone's phone with the flashlight on and then gives it back? I've seen this video at least a dozen times and just caught it for the first time. The fact that it was so subtle and that he gives it back seems pretty classy to me.
(Imma ramble for a minute. Sorry!) Like the other commenter, I'm here because of Moral Orel, but I was, and still am a huge You're the Worst fan! I vividly remember watching as the final episode of YTW, a bit sad 'cause the episode was nearing the end... then a certain familiar piano riff began: I gasped in recognition/excitement, punched the air, and yelled "YEAH!" I couldn't think of a more perfect song to wrap up that show. Genius. It was a much, MUCH better moment than my introduction to TMG: I'd moved back home from Portland OR, after 7 mostly wonderful years there (and 1 final terrible one), reeling in the aftermath of an abusive relationship, a rape, and a massive opiate addiction... Tapering off opiates (3 days off, 1 day on), most of my time was spent going through full-blown withdrawal. All I could do was watch TV to distract myself as much as possible from horrific withdrawals... which compounded a deep period of clinical depression, feeling like I'd completely failed at life, and loneliness from moving to a place where my friends and I were separated by an ocean (literally, as I'd moved back to Hawai'i). One of the good things to come from that time was discovering Moral Orel as the final season was airing, and the other good thing was hearing this song. It felt familiar (I later realized the lyrics reminded me of that relationship I'd just ended). It was one of the worst months of my life up to that point, but when it passed I decided to check out the "Goats" band I'd heard on Moral Orel. The final season used 3 TMG songs, and they really weren't what I'd usually listen to but something about the lyrics and JD's nasal voice really drew me in. 15 years have passed since then and I've gone back to Portland several times, twice _just_ to see TMG play. There wasn't anyone to visit when I was there: half my friends have moved to San Francisco (literally) and the rest moved back home (but I guess I can't say that now because I made new friends during my last trip there). Three nights of TMG shows at The Aladdin while making new friends, and getting another chance to wander through SE Portland in the full bloom of spring (a time and place I'd actually mourned because I'd loved it so much but never thought I'd never experience it again) have left me with new, happy Portland memories... Going back to Portland and seeing The Mountain Goats in concert has been so wonderful, every time. It always makes me glad I'm still here.
"and I hope I never get sober" I had been drinking since 3rd grade, yes parents gave it to me, very willingly. and I lived that thought, up until this year. I had to get sober, or I would die. But. i still smoke weed. so heres to NEVER GETTING 100% SOBER!!!!
I have seen bands that tear up the stage with electric performances, I have seen lone singers rend hearts with a quiet majesty. But John Darnielle will always be THE best performer I have ever witnessed. Such a consummate professional. In this performance he manages to tear up the stage AND rend hearts, and he makes it look so easy. I can't wait to see them again!
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
At Tampa, I was worried they were going to start that Jess loves Jezebel song until he started with the staring contest bit, then I knew staying for the second encore was worth it.
Actually, Gary Gaetti never played second base for the Cubs -- he mostly played third base. He did play shortstop for one game for them, though, so "one-time Chicago Cubs shortstop Gary Gaetti" would be accurate.
Often the comments on RUclips are a mistake. Sometimes they are not. Sometimes they transcend the genre of internet comment into something truly beautiful. Congratulations on being that ever rare, beautiful, total eclipse of the sun.
I know this has the meaning of the end of a torrid relationship. But I have come to view it in a personal perspective of almost a suicidal aspect. With almost writing this as your last letter to everyone. Or, viewing it as all the downfalls in your life and the “wife” being symbolic of life. Just an odd concept I had thought of.
Just think about all the poor poor fuckers for years and years to come who are going to hear about “the time I held his hand as he sang the line about holding hands” from the teenagers in that crowd… 😑

@Jake DiLucia the entire album is written about a married couple that is miserable together!!
@Jake DiLucia One of the best albums ever written. The song “First Few Desperate Hours” is S tier mountain goats

Me at every show 🤣
You are so very ..lucky. man . Feel blessed that's a moment !

this is forever the joy of seeing the mountain goats live
It is freaking impossible to hear this without singing it.

Hope that when they can tour again they feel like they can still play this. Determined to see them live if I don't succumb to the plague.
likely will, they played it during that online show!
Are you saying that you're going to make it through this year if it kills you?
Hello I hope you made it because they’re touring now!! Playing this song with popular demand!!
Update - I went to the first show of their new your at the Ramkat last night - they still do it.
I love how Matt sounds like he's playing the baseball stadium version of No Children
If my marriage has to go badly, and knock on wood so far 8 years it's great, it'll be to this song.
25 years of marriage for me but yes I'd be stoked if this were to happen.
This was pretty much the soundtrack to my divorce this year after 16 years together / 13 married...
@@deivi1I’m so sorry
I saw this show live and missed half of it and it is still one of the greatest live shows I've ever seen
fyi you can hear a high quality tape of the whole show @ archive.org/details/tmg2018-09-11 :)
Hearing everyone sing in unison like that with such passion and dedication gives me proper chills.
I miss gigs so much.
there’s a recording of this from at the bottom of the hill where it’s only the crowd singing, it’s incredible

John Oliver, Tiny Hodor, Lanky Dinklage, and Person of Interest form one hell of a band.
You've smoked too much, get to bed.
This might be TOO accurate
It must be so great to have the whole audience sing your song. What a feeling that must be
Not even married but I scream this to the friends I’ve lost
Big thanks to Peter Dinklage for playing drums. Very cool.
The guy from Game of Thrones and Avengers? Lol
When I am absolutely drowning in my thoughts, my anger, my hurt, this song is like a worm in my head, screaming a story I wish I would have screamed myself
that dude up front at 3:19 had a moment
what a show. I have envy that knows zero bounds
Dude looks like every English professor I had in college.
In the middle of a divorce, the humor in this comes out.

Staring directly into their eyes

Thanks
I was at this show and frequently come back to this video. Extraordinary. One of the best nights of my life. If you can, see them live.
There's simply no way this isn't the best song ever written.
Thank you Chad.
I got here because of “You’re the Worst,” and I’m so glad I did.
I’m here because season 3 of Moral Oral.

Old Crow Medicine Show does a fantastic show too.

I want to see these guys soooooo badly. Every time they've come to town I've been unable to go AND that's happening again next month :(
So many ironic mustaches in the crowd lol
I'm in the crowd and mine is sincere!
Those are just the feds. They uh... "They glow in the dark"
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
yeah, we all know it
