With so much material it is hard to name just a few songs, so here is a list of the best John Darnielle songs as The Mountain Goats to listen to while painting on yourdisplay easel.Cubs in Five One of the most requested songs at any The Mountain Goats concert; Cubs in Five is a sort of chanting sing-a-long in a live setting. The song is about lost love told through numerous never going to happen situations such as theyre going to find intelligent life up there on the moon and the stars are gonna spell out the answers to tomorrows crosswords and ending with the final sad wish that I will love you again, like I used to another thing that the narrator is finally realizing will never happen again. The Recognition Scene A group of teenagers rob a candy store in this highlight from the album Sweden. We do not know their motive but one gets the sense that the robbery is a sort of last hurrah for the gang as the narrator repeats at the end Im gonna miss you when youre gone as they hop in the getaway car and stuff their faces with hot caramel. Elijah The Biblical figure of Elijah and the Jewish tradition of setting a place for him at the feast of Passover seder is highlighted in this song which is seemingly from the point of view of the prophet as he prepares to return, telling his follows to set the table / those three extra places / one for me / one for your doubts / and one for god. It is a slow burning song with emotion that is undeniable no matter what your faith. Color In Your Cheeks The album All Hail West Texas is an album of various stories from the lone star State. Color in Your Cheeks revolves around a sort of halfway house or rehabilitation center in Western Texas that takes in immigrants, orphans and the lost, offers them a bed to sleep in and a hot drink that will put some color in their cheeks. The most powerful line is the welcoming of a new lost soul and how the workers cleared a space for him to sleep in / and we let the silence thats our trademark / make its presence felt, highlighting the power of simple and honest care for an individual.About the Author:
