Oh Sister by Neutral Milk Hotel. Apparently it was a companion song to the song "Oh Comely", but didn't make it to the final cut. This is in no way my music.
And I thought I heard them all. The studio albums and bootlegs are enough beauty for an entire lifetime. I still pray Jeff comes back, hopefully at a time when a lot of people need hope.
I love this guy! Already got tickets for the ATP Mangum headline show. Brililant man, a true inspiration to me, to all of us who have the luxury of hearing his voice in song.
@iamaphoneyVEVO ...the version i have is called "live @ aquarius records" (i think in SF) and i believe it is from 7/4/96. eight songs, it's a monster.
I can hear Communist Daughter and Oh Comely. It makes me wonder greatly the significance of those lines and how the lyrics of the songs all tie together...
I hope this is accurate. Oh sister, don't be afraid of me I won't be nailing you down in the nursery Just like the rest of them did With those watery, wandering fingers of spit That were supposed to be glorious and fine. Oh sister won't you believe in me I only wanted to be hard on the family Here with you now in this silly infirmary Your mother makes frantic and drunk calls From Germany all of the time. Oh sister, sweet brown and comely, Iwill be milking with you making fun of me now that my moods are not what they used to be there has been no alive laying next to me for such a long time. Oh sister, sweet brown and beulahery And milk from your blisters on your grandmother's jewelry There in the parlor all naked in front of me Watching the lights from the cracks Making archery animal designs. Rose Wallace Goldeline just moves her mouth over anything That's fleshy free and flowering with oranges out in the open But don't you waste your sins again She don't need you or won't fuck your friends And you, you're American, self important boiling over To prove that she must still exist She moves herself about her fist And won't ever, never gove a shit About all those words you're wasting again Some pretty bright and bubbly wonderous dream You'd like to kill and clean And claim her as your own But don't you worry All those dainty and dirty emotions Just go away and fade out on their own Sister, now that you're leaving Our fingers will falter Our lungs will be leaking All over each other and without even speaking We'll know that it's over and smile and go greeting Whatever comes next And oh sister You're getting married with some angry twister That you'll have to carry home Drunk every evening from the cemetery And if he makes it back half alive you can Bury him under your sheets And oh sister Now that you're grieving I can not imagine there is any meaning Forgetting you ever could once had the feeling that made you keep on And pretend you were breathing of all of this world And in an age of empty rings I don't want to feel the thing I don't even want to know Rose Wallace Goldeline Don't you ever die on me All the ways it goes and falls
@ChristianPLM Haha, yeah, instead of calling a track "hard-to-find," people will have to start putting "previously rare" on their video descriptions, lol..
Failed at love a few weeks ago. Found a girl that I had hoped would help me with my depression and loneliness yet all she did was increase both. Been listening to Jeff for the past few weeks now. I'm sorry about your test, I sincerely hope you do better next time. Failure always sucks
