I have noone to talk to about "Until Olympius Returns" and I think there's never been a bigger shame.

Especially because the subject matter of the song is something that a lot of my friends are interested in, but as soon as I say it's a song about that subject my the Mountain Goats I feel like people will kinda just switch off which is fair enough but I just want to be able to explain how much I love that shit and how insane the instrumental arrangement on the Jordan Lake Session version is

"Go through the motions every day out in the square Listen for the hidden rhythms on the air Nod in agreement when the Tyrant holds forth Look for a beacon from the North Protect yourself, vouch for every member of the team This is just a momentary ripple in the stream.”
