ever since i heard that version of ‘no children’ by the mountain goats that was recorded at a concert where the singer didn’t sing at all and it was the audience, instead, who sang the entire song together surprisingly well and coherently (i reblogged it here) it’s like.. i too have wanted to go to a mountain goats concert and experience something like that. imagine. imagine singing ‘i am drowning, there is no sign of land, you are coming down with me, hand in unlovable hand’ with hundreds of other people and your voices blending together into one sea. for a crowd to take those horrifically tragic lyrics and make it something communal, something connective. it would be something i’d always remember. oh to sing no children by the mountain goats in collective anon… doesn’t it sound transcendent! does anyone here get what i mean
Since that link isn’t working, I found an archive.org link to the recording!
