Mountain Goats, The - Sourdoire Valley Song Lyrics
Bang the small rocks on the big ones
'Till the small ones are sharp and clean
Catch something, kill something
New blade cuts real keen
Half a world away from the Olduvai gorge
Chew these roots for a toothache
Chew these ones for atmosphere
Dream the pleasant dreams that people dream
When they grow up down here
And then the grass grows up to cover up the fire pit and the forge
Half a world away from the Olduvai gorge
See if he's in pain
Have somebody stay with him
Comfort him when he complains
Keep to ourselves mostly
Few friends and fewer closer friends
Lead a long life if you're lucky
Hope it never ends
And then the grass grows up to cover up the fire pit and the forge
Half a world away from the Olduvai gorge

In the Shadow of Man
Listened to this on repeat while i studied for my anthropology exam lmao
the delicious melancholy of this song
the inherent underlying asphyxiation heard in the atmospheric presence of darnielle's vocal inflection prostelizes the symbolism present in societies desire for meaning.
Thems are some fancy words ya said thar!
John Darnielle can write a song about ANYTHING and make it brilliant.
thanks for the upload...saw em in OKC last year with wye oak...so good, dude
