Three years on the local circuit
Played twice at the county fair
And the second time, Ben, our friend who worked the business end
Said a guy from a label was there
There were two more like him at the next show
Staring us down like hawks
And there was love in the air, and all the money was there
And we were going on tour
With Candlebox
Candlebox
All the free acid-washed blue jeans
You could ever want underneath the bus
Sound guy, schedule guy, driver
Three bunks left for us
You sleep like a baby when you're still young
And dumber than a bag of rocks
Twenty-five tight minutes, seven nights a week
Eight weeks without a break
For Candlebox
Candlebox
Together in the tents at the festivals
Running out of things to say
This is how we build a fanbase, fellas
We'll be in the headline slot someday (We'll be in the headline slot someday)
Whole team full of Roman accountants
At their desks the day Hannibal crossed
You wouldn't even believe me
If I told you what the video cost
Windswept silence at the henhouse
Nobody's catching up with the fox
But if we ever find Ben, we'll probably do it again like we were young men
As we were then
With Candlebox
Candlebox
Candlebox

The Mountain Goats sono un gruppo musicale folk rock statunitense formatosi nel 1991 a Claremont, California, dal cantautore e polistrumentista John Darnielle. Il nome del gruppo deriva da una canzone di Screamin' Jay Hawkins intitolata "Big Yellow Coat". Per gran parte della sua storia, Darnielle è stato l'unico membro stabile dei The Mountain Goats, collaborando con un variegato gruppo di musicisti in studio e durante i concerti. Tra questi figurano il bassista Peter Hughes, il batterista Jon Wurster, il cantautore Franklin Bruno, la bassista e cantante Rachel Ware, il cantautore John Vanderslice, la chitarrista Kaki King e Annie Clark (St. Vincent). La musica dei The Mountain Goats è caratterizzata da testi introspettivi e poetici, spesso incentrati su temi di amore, perdita, isolamento e spiritualità. Le melodie sono semplici ma efficaci, con un forte accento sul canto di Darnielle, che possiede una voce unica e riconoscibile. Tra i brani più rappresentativi del gruppo si ricordano "This Year", "No Children", "The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton" e "Up the Wolves".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
