My faith ran out with the flames one night
Shrinking in the embers of the firelight
You were rambling about your friends
How you were never going to see them again
There wasn't any fire and brimstone left
Just a hollow rattle inside your chest
Deep in the dark of our forty-fifth day
It wasn't ever going to go away
I began to understand the things the heat requires
Looking at you through this fire
The last days come and the last days go
Carried away in the undertow
But on our trust we rise and fall
Human after all
I calculated one week to go, maybe less
You were slipping in and out of consciousness
What are seven days worth?
Seven days on this earth
More than kings in their castles might desire
Looking at you through this fire
Through this fire where we were witnesses
You were reborn
One of the seven at Jericho
Sounding his horn
Bear me on the breath of dawn
Very soon we'll both be gone
It's getting hard to hear you, friend
Waiting for the world to end
But let isolate the relevant voice in the choir
Somewhere out there on the wire
I'll run all night but my legs won't tire
The ocean is faithful and the devil's a liar
Looking at you through this fire

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
