Bill Callahan - The Weightlifter Lyrics
The weightlifter wears t-shirts in wintertime
The weightlifter wears no shirt in summertime
The weightlifter prays and prays for summertime
The weightlifter has a playboy air freshener
Dangling from his rearview mirror
His car is red he's saving for a water bed
Oh what a love nest that'll be
The weightlifter wears t-shirts in wintertime

Dead Mans Shoes Part 2 soundtrack... I wish!
Howe Gelb
I like that camels song it sounds like some old Neil Young
Incredible beautiful session by an incredible strong songwriter, and the album is the best from him yet. Just love it!
Still the best living songwriter for me.
il suo sorriso a 3:58, mi fa bene come la sua voce
What album is on the drummers shirt?
I love his charming awkwardness..wonderful really.
The panic room is now a nursery. What a line.
What a lovely man
Cheryl!!!!!!!!!
Don't go, don't go, don't go, don't go
pure genius the same way Lou Reed was
i really like how touched & invested Cheryl is with the dialogue between her & Bill during this session. its not something you see very often of her & KEXP, theres something very genuine & mature about the whole exchange.
Joshua Bloodsworth I see it with her every time
Such tender humanity and poignant songwriting! Maybe better than ever.
real stuff!
that is enough!
what an interesting mf you are!!!
and I can't tell you how pleased I am for have found you!
thank U!
stay well!
best wishes for you🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹
So beautiful! Thanks KEXP, thanks Bill!
so excited that we are going to see him here in 2 days!
No disrespect towards Mr. Callahan but I recommend you adjust the playback speed to 1.5 whenever he speaks... it gives it a better flow.
...self-indulgence
masquerading
as art
beautiful man
LOVE THIS GUY!!! Thanks to Iohan Gueorguiev on youtube. but sadly they took down his video with Bills Music. i bet if bill saw his videos he support his music on there. plus it's free advertising. i bought 2 albums because of it. <3
Deeee-e-E-ecent!!!
All the young dumb bands that come on this show should be forced to watch this performance.
i feel like bill callahan songs should always come with subtitles.. such strong lyrics
Voz dolorosa... :(
Typically awkward BC interview
What a treat. It's like Christmas. Thank you Bill & KEXP.
All of his lyrics make me laugh on some level.
thank you bill
Nylon string spanish guitar. Amazing sound.
Beautiful stuff.
Cheryl: "that was sooo great, oh what a good way to start the morning"
Bill: "for you, maybe"
<3
Hahahaha
Is that Bill’s brother on drums ?
The resemblance is uncanny
would make more sense to be his son, but yea they look definitely related
Colin Gordon his son is like 4?
You guys should totally bring in Wintergatan! Coolest music out there.
Erik Dahl Yes please
Is this guy learning to piece words together for the first time in this interview ? Painful
@George Cairnie learn to spell before you try to name call bud. No wonder you're a fan of this guy , you cant piece words together either lol
A pretty awkward speaker but one of the greatest lyricists ever in my opinion.
@Ashton Makowsky ypu just confirmed it twatt
@George Cairnie lmao there you go struggling with that spelling again. Poor little guy.
BILL + CHERYL + KEXP = the holy trinity!
Genuine guy, genuine musical genius, and that voice...
Musical genius 😂 good one 👍
nice of John c Reilly to play guitar for him
excellent
bill seems like such a genuinely nice dude
Joshua He wasn’t so nice to me at a show in the late 90’s when he asked for requests and I called out an old song that he didn’t remember how to play. He went off on me and that sucked. I didn’t listen to him for years after that and that instance made me form my opinion of not wanting to meet musicians that I like ever. I obviously started listening to him again after some time ,but he hasn’t always been such a nice guy. I guess that could be said about most anyone at certain points in their life though. Most ppl aren’t always nice.
@idranktodie 78 Most musicians aren't in the right mindset when on tour, imagine playing dozens of shows and all of the hectic travelling. Probably just caught him on a bad night haha
Conson Yeah Maybe ,but I’m familiar with touring. I did it a few times with my band back in the day and never acted like that to the people at my shows ,but that’s just me. 🤷♂️
Saw Bill live in Cologne in 2012 and he hasn't changed a bit.
What kind of monster gives a thumbs down to this man?
they're 4 now
probably they're some of the Hulk enemies
Just someone who doesn't it that's all. It's ok for people not to like everything.
Jhonny Cash hahaha
Woow🎶 Mr Callahan respect!! 👏🏼
Was hoping will woulda been picking along, too, but no one does it like smog,
No one
That Smog song Dirty Pants rules !
The tone on that acoustic is amazing
uhm I disagree, direct in acoustics always sound kinda plastic
@Carlos Pizzi its a nylon, thats legitimately what they sound like.
@Joshua Bloodsworth yeah but I mean, it's plugged in. A nylon sounds much better when recorded with a mic in front
im an recording engineer & i agree with you, but the pickup is much more practical. last time he came through town he ended up using my buds twin reverb & the guitar sounded perty dang good actually.
@Joshua Bloodsworth yeah they sound better when plugged to a tube amp, but in this session it's going directly into the mixer, and that's why it sounds a bit plastic. Nevertheless, if they had mic'ed the guitar they would've had a lot of bleeding from the other instruments, so it's actually the best thing to do in this scenario.
I LOVE BILL, I LOVE SMOG!
Yeah yeah yeah! ! !
Never clicked so fast, and with Cheryl as a host!
