"I wanna go home, but I am home"
that line always rips me to shreds. john darnielle invented suffering. fuck

[flowerheit]

i love the quiet sincerity of the original but this is so beautiful too, it reminds me of looking up and feeling like you'll fall into the sky

[IJVin]

"I am healthy, I am whole/I have poor impulse control"

That line affects me in a way that I can't explain.

[gloamingchild]

This is what I think of when someone describes music as 'soaring'.

[QuintonMurdock]

Nightvale weather is a great way to find new songs

[popefelix]

Mx. Rickman's voice and Mx. Bischoff's cello blend beautifully in this song. It touches a very deep and emotional part of me. Well done.

Eliza, I have loved your music for years, your voice is so ethereal and heavenly in the sex and joy and laughter kind of way. I started listening to The Mountain Goats more recently and John Darnielle’s lyrics make me feel raw in the blood and guts and trauma kind of way. Your voice on these lyrics makes me feel like I’m going insane, and the strings sound like sunlight feels. There’s nothing like this. Please please make more music like this. Honestly, make more mountain goats covers. Make more music with strings like this!! It suits you, and your take is so fresh.

This song fits that episode of WTNV so so well. " I want to go home, but I am home "

[Wingedmagician]

And the award to most underrated song of all time goes to

[TheOtherSider]

“I want to go home. But I am home” I feel that so much. Even in my own house I don’t feel at home.

[nandankulkarni]

This song actually makes me feel things. Props to Eliza Rickman, Jherek Bischoff, and The Mountain Goats!

[DogPints]

This and Dessa doing balance are the 2 most beautiful covers. Thank you

[alexbeaujon]

This weather gives me goosebumps, the lyrics, the string instruments, the voice...
aaaahhhh it all just works so harmonious and perfect

[MagusMirificus]

Probably my favorite song from AHWT, and this takes it to a whole new level.

[MemphianSounds]

Amazing! Great podcast but this is the first cover from the series that offers something new AND respects the cadence of the original track.

[martinanderson]

Best one yet. The others I've listened once out of interest, this one I will return to.

[leomorris]

idk why but this song sounds like the beginning of a relationship and the original sounds like the end, ya feel?

[JordantheNerdfighter]

Never been a huge AHWT guy, and this song in particular never really captured my attention, but this podcast has me really appreciating it in a new way. I adore this cover.

[origamicreature]

A lovely arrangement, and a such a great vocalist!

[LAG]

I could believe it if you told me, this was Susan Anway singing 100, 000 Fireflies with The Magnetic Fields. Absolutely beautiful.
