The Mountain Goats - This Year (Official Video) the Mountain Goats 2025-01-20 | 'This Year' taken from The Mountain Goat's 2005 album, 'The Sunset Tree'.Video directed & upgraded by Andy BruntelLyrics:I broke free on a Saturday morningI put the pedal to the floorHeaded north on Mills AvenueAnd listened to the engine roarMy broken house behind me and good things aheadA girl named Cathy wants a little of my timeSix cylinders underneath the hood crashing and kickingAha! Listen to the engine wineI am gonna make it through this year if it kills meI am gonna make it through this year if it kills meI played video games in a drunken hazeI was 17 years youngHurt my knuckles punching the machinesThe taste of Scotch rich on my tongueAnd then Cathy showed up and we hung outTrading swigs from a bottle all bitter and cleanLocking eyes, holding handsTwin high maintenance machinesI am gonna make it through this year if it kills meI am gonna make it through this year if it kills meI drove home in the California duskI could feel the alcohol inside of me humPictured the look on my stepfather's faceReady for the bad things to comeI downshifted as I pulled into the drivewayThe motor screaming out stuck in second gearThe scene ends badly as you might imagineIn a cavalcade of anger and fearThere will be feasting and dancing in Jerusalem next yearI am gonna make it through this year if it kills meI am gonna make it through this year if it kills me

New single & music video Murder at the 18th St. Garage out now! #shorts #newmusic #newsingle the Mountain Goats 2023-09-26 | The third single and music video, "Murder at the 18th St. Garage," off our forthcoming album ‘Jenny from Thebes’ (out Oct 27) is out now. Watch the video: youtu.be/f82sm6baB-s Stream & pre-order album: http://lnk.to/JennyfromThebes Rather than being coy about it let me tell you that somebody gets killed in this song, which is, at best, a short-term solution to Jenny’s problems, not that I’m saying she herself did anything. It’s her word against his now and he can’t talk anymore and she’s long gone by the time the EMTs get to 18th Street. Under oath, I will testify that she was with me because I am with her. I knew when I wrote this tune that Wurster-Hughes Inc. would eat it up like a big tasty snack, and guess what, they did. Lace up your dancing workboots but wear some inserts because this one’s a sprint.Edited by Brandon HermanFilmed by Brandon Herman and Peter Hughes
