I don't see how any song loved by Stephen Colbert and April Ludgate could be anything less than a great song

I'm glad to see so many Aeroplane Over the Sea references! I thought I would be the only one who sang this in my head instead of reading it 😅

Queue horn solo

There was an album of Christmas music from the 70s that my family would always play during the holidays that had an identical horn solo. I doubt they were consciously copying it but it was uncanny the first time I heard the song, live on their tour in support of the album, and in the middle of this mind blowingly novel music was a trumpet line I was intimately familiar with.

I got to see them live a few years back right after we lost our daughter.

Probably one of the most poignant and beautiful and cathartic experiences I've had with art.

NMH has an absolute cornerstone spot in our hearts.

I saw them on that tour as well, in Richmond.

I’m sorry you lost your daughter.

Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea

Last verse/chorus, after the bridge. I was at a weird time in my life when I first listened to this album and that line made me burst into tears driving in my car.

Previous commenter is right, the album is best listened start to finish.

In the Hitchikerverse, God’s final message to his creation is written in flames stretching to the sky on a dead world.

It reads:

“Sorry for the inconvenience”.

I'm going to be so mad if I find out the artists of Neutral Milk Hotel took advantage of minors. Kinda can't believe I didn't see it ahead of time with Bright Eyes.

Seems like lately, lots of artists are being called out for their involvement in taking advantage of being in a position of power. I'm not mad at the people calling them out, but it hurts to see artists I respected do the thing that so many humans do the moment they have an edge on someone else.

Bright Eyes... I'm still mad.
