Song Of The Week – The Mountain Goats – Going To Georgia

The Mountain Goats – Going To Georgia

The most remarkable thing about coming home to you is the feeling of being in motion again: its the most extraordinary thing in the world.

I have two big hands and a heart pumping blood and a 1967 Colt .45 with the busted safety catch.

The world shines as I cross the Macon county line, going to Georgia.

The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that it’s you and that you are standing in the doorway and you smile as you ease the gun from my hand, I am frozen with joy right where I stand.

The world throws its light underneath your hair, forty miles from Atlanta, this is nowhere, going to Georgia.

The world shines as I cross the Macon county line, going to Georgia.

Song of the Week: The Hold Steady – Citrus

the hold steady

I was exploring the hold steady’s back catalog when I came up on this gem of a song. I’m a huge fan of Craig Finn’s writing. I’d go as far as to say hes one of the 10 best lyricists writing music today. Stripped away of all the loud anthem rock of the hold steady, his voice is something else. Theres a painful/beautiful quality to it that I’m just totally in love with. Couple that with some amazingly sad/beautiful lyrics, and you have one hell of a song.
