Deuteronomy 2:10 by The Mountain Goats x Trigun Stampede Episode 6

Credit to @aubielikey for making me realize this is actually a song about Wolfwood

#the song is told from the perspective of the last of 3 extinct creatures: the thylacine (tasmanian tiger) the dodo and the golden toad #and much like the thylacine wolfwood has been made out to be a monstrous creature against his will #but instead of being driven to extinction he _wants_ to be the last of his kind #the mountain goats x trigun #the mountain goats #tmg #trigun #trigun stampede #deuteronomy 2:10 #the life of the world to come #also this is the rare tmg song that is too just sad to be in my standard rotation

These books are so fucking sad sometimes, it makes you wonder why we bother reading them. And Matthew 25:21, which JD wrote about his mother-in-law, should probably have been retroactively made illegal. But it's alright, isn't it: you can't take loved away. We'll know each other in the river, see each other as we truly are. Ok time to go weep profusely bye love you. Artist Credit: @crazy-racoon (who appears to have a mountain goats lyric blog title)

"Imagine that you awake and find yourself lost in the woods. You remember a little about how you got there, but it hardly matters now, because remembering won't help you find the path out, and it feels important to stay focused. There must be sunlight somewhere. You know that it's going to take you a long time to get where you're going, and that some bad things are probably going to happen to you along the way.

Over time - the journey being even longer than you'd suspected - you learn that some of those bad things can be headed off at the pass: you just have to beat them at their own game. Their game, however, involves hurting you; it's not the same game if you point the damage elsewhere.

At this point in the scenario, some of you are probably thinking: "Wait: you had me, and then you lost me." The rest of you know exactly what I'm talking about and you have the scars to prove it, and you'll be doing me a favor if you'll explain it to the others, since this song was as close as I could come."

— John Darnielle on the song 'Hebrews 11:40', 7/29/2009 - The Life of the World to Come: a film by Rian Johnson, liner notes (via)

So I'm listening to Deuteronomy 2:10 (again), and 'Look hard at my stripes, there'll be no more after me' rightfully gets a lot of appreciation but what really gets me is the final verse. The whispery delivery that increases in volume on the line 'I sang all night', the emphasis on the 'tiny'-ness of this little being, the line 'claim my place beneath the sky'?!? The idea that the golden toad's last song ultimately ended in extinction but that the final individual continued to sing all alone nonetheless? Crying again.
