I can't believe this song is bordering on ten years old now. You've been a source of joy for me since the 2000s and I truly appreciate you, Mike!

I absolutely love this song and don't realize that my soul needs it until it starts up and my brain just slips into comfort mode.

its his voice, he has one of the most mesmerizing voices of any singer ever

I can't hear this song enough! Mike Doughty is such an amazing musician. The other members of Soul Coughing really are f'd in the head letting that band dissolve and their egos. Idiots! Mike is the real deal and will continue to produce great music

I can't tell you how much I love this song. I am so thankful my local radio station plays it and introduced me to it. Love it!

Thanks for mentioning 88.9 Radio Milwaukee. It's a cool radio station. I first heard this song on WFUV. Another great radio station that can be listened to online.

This song had caused me to play air banjo.

Jeff still plays this randomly in the AM, probably once every couple weeks. Hope it can continue to help even if you can’t hear it.

In case anyone's missing this.... This song is awesome.

Underrated. Wow. Gonna take awhile to absorb this guy and his band. It's not just him, everybody is on it. I am a fan. Big time.

The most underrated singer-songwriter in the known universe.

Wow.. how is it that it has taken me six years to hear this.?

Love the banjo btw.

I don't think I've ever heard a catchier song in my entire life. Instant classic!

Doughy, please keep making music. Nobody else has your sensibility.

Never stop rocking, Mike!

Amazing Song! Thanks Mike!

You haven't done it again... you're just consistently doin' it! FANTASTIC!

I was in a bad mood when I woke up but not any more. Thank you!

Keeping your views going one day at a time! Should have way more honestly... I owe you a lot and you're part of why I'm still alive for sure. Thank you for reminding me of my brother who introduced me to your music. ❤

Namaste 😊

i sent my funds to other projects when the motel had exceeded capacity. have remained in the dark until now. if the whole thing is this good, i might just use this utterance of the word light to keep my heart beating. just the word, no need for the physical presence itself. i live as a shut-in n the darkest place in america.

I'm here from soul coughing back in the 90s was wondering what happened to you I've been on a 90s nostalgia trip for the past few months and the past 3 weeks I've been listening to all the soul coughing albums on repeat lol yaw really were a good band wished things would have turned out different it would be nice to see what you guys would be doing today . Much love and respect to you have a good one mike👍👍👍. New subscriber.

Yeah, I saw Soul Coughing live every time they came to Portland back in the old days. It was good finding his stuff again, and this song is a banger. I was actually just listening to Irresistible Bliss and El Oso last night.

Link will keep your piece of heart in the future!

Mr. Dougjhty, I love your amazing music...I am a new fan but you definitely are touching my soul...had some drug issues in my past as well...but way too old for that shizzle now..pretty much...lucky me. Please do not stop your musical endeavors! You are innovative, new and make my heart feel very special things like no other artist. Please do not stop creating your music!!

Awesome song. And a killer show tonight in Charlottesville. Great job calling out the girl talking during the show. You are my hero for doing that!

His music is amazing.

Your videos rock.it sir.

Outstanding tune and a very hip Banjo...and the solid drums...very cool lyrics !

Nice Mike! Didnt expect to hear that. First song Ive heard from you since SC days. Very fucking cool track! Groovy, great hook, great energy. Now gonna listen to more.....

in a room together talking music..........................I do not have any idols, but I know for sure that they will they will THROW it down funky n SOULFUL. The mix of Bobby n a fast car was not well executed

his voice reminds me of jimmy pop's in the best way possible

I'm thankful for this new lyrics on screen trend. It's fun. Looking up words on lyrics sites and wondering if it's really what the artist meant is wearying and becomes like this esoteric school of epistemology and culture. It's just easier when they incorporate the text. Also, the new Thunderbolt roller coaster is said to be very rough which could be a good tradition to keep but a surprising addition to the future.

That trend is definably not new, Steve; 20 years ago it was. Also, with this song at least, it'd be really troubling if you had to look the lyrics up. It ain't like he's channeling a drunk Bob Dylan! I'm totally not trying to make any sort of judgement, but you're somewhat younger, right?

Me and my mom love your songs so much! i hope you make more videos of thes songs sone!!

More people need to see this

love it...banjo surreal pop!

Those dusty tomes In the antique bookshop Are the ones That don't sell in the Midwest The case I left At the renovated car park Was only a still life The case of cows is still in vitamin D Like a stab wound victim Your trees called the hand down While an old shepherd Weaponizes his livestock Bigger hats Overcast An overgrown heart Half pacemaker Two legs The wolf that stands Selfless phenomenon Ventricles Like a dusty moon Your loves' a loom The lunatic The inward Doom Death and sex don't need the room :)

Such a fresh album. Thanks Mike!

I know and love that voice from Soul Coughing! Well done!

Awesome Tune!

Thank you for this. All of it.

Gotta find me a straw pork pie now !!

I didn't know this. Thanks to god for Spotify.

makes me want to download all his songs

Seriously dope video and song

love the beach boardwalk theme..

Solid gold, as usual.

Been a fan since early soul coughing when there was an upright bass. Which was amazing. Saw soul coughing downtown nyc. Wtf was the name of the place ? Hey Mr. Dougherty .. hit me back.

I highly suggest checking out his 2005 album Haughty Melodic, it's lyrically his best effort since the mid 1990s.

I love the song, this video is aweful!!

Great track Mike!

Awesome track. Request: could you post the official lyrics in the description? They're always poetic, and worth sharing.

Song is Bad Fucking Ass! I love it!!

👍awe.some tanks.

Anybody can help me find a collaboration that Mike supposedly did with BT. Track supposed to be called "The Heat And The Hate"

Bring back super sugar crisp!

I'm amazingly in love with this song! But (and I hate to be THAT person), I can't get over the typo in the video...mandarin is spelled "MADARIN" (2:24). I'm sorrrrrrry.

I imagine he wrote in the same, abstract observational manner as a lot of his tunes. I'd put money on him writing this after literally being in an airport bookstore looking at books and magazines seeing things like Lucy Lawless on a cover, a story about ketamine, and spotting a girl with a gold choker made out of spoons as a fire alarm went off, as well as some article similar to this one: www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/279218.php

You're trying too hard...... But keep trying.🤪

Shame this is one of the only songs I like out of his album... It's so unlike most of his other songs, which contain trashy meanings or lyrics.

Am i the only one that thinks this song is actually pretty terrible and makes no sense? I mean if you wrote the lyrics down and turned it into your English teacher for a poem assignment or something like that i think the teacher would transfer you to special needs... there might be a message behind it but, he does a terrible job at relaying it in an understandable way.
