Neutral Milk Hotel - Three Peaches 

Favorite song from On Avery Island

It always amazes me how Mangum creates such powerful works from quite simple chords

Just the best song ever? ☠️

(there is no dream) so wake up- find Yourself with fingertips tracing a scent of self to hold High; remind you-you did not die on that day and oh how alive you remain. and You, so beautifully bruised, reflections shining off of You as you carve holiday designs into your being, alone in the bathroom- hoping not to be found, yet they found you, and took you, and somehow you survived. (there is no dream) so wake up-if the holidays don’t hollow out your eyes, then press, press against whatever you find trembling with beauty and life because I am so happy, so incredibly happy, you did not die.
