#this year the mountain goats

[spacetrashpile]

2023

BREAK FREE ON A SATURDAY MORNING

PUT THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR

HEAD NORTH ON MILLS AVENUE

LISTEN TO THE ENGINE ROAR

YOUR BROKEN HOUSE IS BEHIND YOU AND GOOD THINGS ARE AHEAD

A GIRL NAMED CATHY WILL WANT A LITTLE OF YOUR TIME

LISTEN TO THE ENGINE WINE

PLAY VIDEO GAMES IN A DRUNKEN HAZE

HURT YOUR KNUCKLES PUNCHING THE MACHINES

TASTE SCOTCH RICH ON YOUR TONGUE

HANG OUT WITH CATHY, TAKE SWIGS FROM A BOTTLE ALL BITTER AND CLEAN

LOCK EYES

HOLD HANDS

DRIVE HOME IN THE CALIFORNIA DUSK

FEEL THE ALCOHOL INSIDE OF YOU HUM

PICTURE THE LOOK ON YOUR STEPFATHER'S FACE

READY FOR THE BAD THINGS TO COME

DOWNSHIFT AS YOU PULL INTO THE DRIVEWAY

IMAGINE THE SCENE

THERE WILL BE FEASTING AND DANCING IN JERUSALEM

YOU WILL MAKE IT THROUGH THIS YEAR IF IT KILLS YOU

Narrator: She did, and it did. Artist credit: kowachi

Bouncing back from the deep cut era, this is possibly the most obvious song to character connection. Her broken house behind her and good things ahead, a girl named Harrow wants a little of her time.

Audience member: "Hey John, can you play “Going to Maine”?" John: "No." *Audience laughing*

John: "We’re gonna play a new song again, if that's cool with you. Alright. Thank you. This song is a true story. *laughing* That’s the saddest thing about it. I hope that if you should happen, and if you do, don’t let anybody tell you not to but uh… If you should happen to be having the sort of year I was having when I was seventeen, you may feel free to sing along with the chorus, nobody’s gonna hold it against you. Uh, I know that twice that uh, I *to Peter Hughes* can I out you? This is Peter’s favorite of the new songs I think precisely because of the chorus. *laughs* It’s called “This Year”."

[The first time "This Year" was played live]
