barrelling...
well, part 2 of the mountain goats trifecta was going to be up the wolves. an excellent and worthy track, and i was all excited to post about remus and romulus, and their wolfmother. i was going to probably tie in the band wolfmother, and then go on a tired diatribe about all the wolf bands out there, or maybe i was going to be too cool to do so...
anyhow, you were going to get up the wolves, but as i was barelling down the trans-canada highway with severely limited visibility, and oh so very much stuff in the car after a year away, I can safely say that this song is far more fitting.
the song, is from the same album, and is the track that actually got me intrigued to look at the band again, it is this year. I don't know if there are many out there who have attempted the moving it all in one carload before, but if so, hats off. i just have one question, have you ever tried it with a Hammond C kickin' in back?
it's funny when you realize a whole year has gone by. i suppose that feeling can only really acurately happen a few days out of the year, when you can pinpoint exactly what you were doing, and when one year ago... sometimes it works with a little more grey, give or take a day, a week, a season.
anyhow, looking back, i can hear myself singing the chorus to myself across the time gap, i am gonna make it through this year, if it kills me.
cheers to your year, tell us about it.

Let me first express my appreciation for this site. I always look forward to reading your blogs and I love how genuine and real they are. It makes the internet contact a little less impersonal, even if that seems impossible. this song triggers so many memories and emotions of this past year and it gives me a sense of triumph for having succeeded. there were so many disappointments, some incredibly positive moments, and many wonderfully intriguing people I met this year that I too had to leave behind. it may be shocking to realize how quickly the year has gone by, or sad letting go of the people you met, but it is invigorating to know 'you made it through this year'.
hey anonymous, many thanks for your kind words.
