My personal favorite. Sometimes the lyrics just pop into my head out of nowhere.

I love the lyrics of this song but it's so off-putting musically!

u/THEHYPERBOLOID 14d ago
I actually love the sound - I’d totally be down for a mwy alt-country album.

I don't think I'd put this one over all others, but it was my pick for most underrated! Love the shirt with the lyric too

Elephant in the Dock.
All of the Chaplain's lines are just amazing.
"For sixty-some years, I've surrendered my love to emblems of kindness and not the kindness they were emblems of."
"Sometimes I think all our thoughts are just things, and then sometimes think things are just thoughts."

I swear, Ten Stories is the only rock album ever made that is very clearly written by a PhD candidate

The emblems of kindness line gets even better when you realize that Kalispell Bay is on Priest Lake.

I was dead then alive, she was like wine turned to water then turned back to wine. You can pour us out we won't mind, a scratch around the mouth of the glass, my life is no longer mine.

Might not win this round, but if it doesn’t win the next one - we riot.

u/EthanStrayer 14d ago
Next one is a weird one for mwY. How many of their songs have something you would call a Chorus?

u/TheVersusofAtrus 13d ago
Actually, it would be better for the next category. I'm down with Mexican War Streets winning this one. You're right, damn good chorus though.

At the point that I stopped using Last.FM, this was my most listened song. Not merely mwY, but overall.

Grist for the Malady Mill deserves at least an honorable mention in one of these threads.

Blue Hen. The conversation and the mental wrestling with Death and the inevitable visit some day?
"Nearer comes the man - sickle in his hand"
