The “mama” bit is what sends it over the edge completely…

@@ahousefellonme midnight being anthropomorphized... the moon being dead. must be the BIG star about to fall

@@thejamnasium6447 my mother was dying in hospice when I discovered this song 5 years ago…adding “mama” to such poetry made me sob involuntarily…. “Listen. Listen.” My BIL is from Lorain; I’ve been there many times, and it completes the visuals of his dark lake lyrics… “Listen.”

What does it mean?

@@joeburly I feel like it’s an expression of total hopelessness and misery. Utter despair.

Well said, sir.

This is the most accurate comment I have ever had the privilege of reading in all my years of social media.

@@chriscelona7482 seriously lol

Dawson Nichols dynamics. The groove is strong

jordan ellington he’ll be gone but not forever

Sorry

mine too and become 2020's most played song.Thank you spotify

same here it became my most played song for 2021 :)

Wild, it came in my discoveries as well, but only decided to listen to it 2 months after, when I remembered it exists

Same. This is my goodbye song

i dont think its fair, but live...definitely a devastated Tonight's The Night vibe. (which is my favorite Neil Young album...so many great songs built on real devastation and loss), i find Molina the most honest and real songwriters of his generation, alongside Greg Cartwright of Reigning Sound/Oblivians...from two different worlds, alone with a guitar...nobody comes close. Yes, there are better looking, better beards and bigger names, but nothing close. Cartwright survived and has found an audience outside the garage scene, Molina i discovered late through his loose and perfect live performances with this band, notably the Trials and Errors 2xlp which looks like ive had it for 30 years and moved backwards to Songs:Ohia. like the comment above, he was doing it his way and, Cartwright who has dodged major labels for years, finally found a home on Merge. Both can do it alone or with a band and both found a way to be future legends. If you have heard them, they probably mean a lot to you. If you are not aware of Gregs stuff, Reigning Sound (Break Up Break Down, Home For Orphans, Time Bomb High School, Too Much Guitar, Love and Curses--his work with Compulsive Gamblers--notably the double live lp, and a brand new lp are mostly flawless, but his solo stuff is no less powerful and pretty easy to find around here. I find a coolness in both of their "could care less about being cool" attitudes, real suffering and timeless songs.

Neil young is neil young and Jason molina is jason molina. Beautiful thing

T Thomas fucking spot on, the true greats never seek the spotlight

Best comment

i guess but you know what? i kind of wish this guy didn't drink himself to death. great musician, great song writer, if he gave it up and just led a comfortable life in oberlin or whatever, tending to a vegetable garden, and not recording again, i'd feel a lot better about it. some old hippie said it's better to burn out than to fade away, which is bullshit. growing old an watching all your enemies die, and then making wax of their statues, and burying them, is the best.

Which line?

3 years and almost 10 months here and I just want to say I’m proud of you, but I also completely understand your comment.

Andrew Godfrey its happening near you!

Enrique Garrovillo They're probably selling out bars together in heaven

Potentially like ugly Casanova

what the fuck does Britney spears have to do with anything?

Chris Procope aww!so broken you wrote braeks! lysdexic(dyslexic!) breaks my heart too:so many amazing artists are true genius & madness!Safety in numbers ?To know it's ok I'm a crazy gypsy::::....

Ha! May have been slightly tired and emotional...

Chris Procope This is 1of 'THE' songs- remember 1st time u 'listen' (98/ATL) & can always 'listen'! (do u know:'I am Kloot' album w/ 'Storm Warning' ?)

have a line from a german alternative pop group, cause my haert also broek... "die verletzten sollen die ärzte sein" - the broken ones shall be the healers/doctors (from wir sind helden - the geek)

the line i can't get out of my head is "mother here comes midnight with the dead moon in it's jaw"

This was released under Songs: Ohia.

Danelectro 56 U2

obviously you dipshit its recorded on someones camcorder

I love the distortion. It sounds great.

If you aren't old enough to remember a time before these camera smartphones and how recordings used to be then it's not your position to try and put someone down for no reason...

What did you think they would have? They probably made no money
