but rattusRose was first
By far and away the band I've listened to most in the last year is The Mountain Goats... and yet I've never posted them to TIMJ?! Time to remedy that: Listen as John Darnielle, with empathy turned to 11, tells and sings the sad, sad story of Frankie Lymon.

nothing in the shadows but the shadow hands
The loneliest people in the whole wide world are the ones you're never going to see again.
On repeat this morning, driving under the moonlight.
A literal jam about Frankie Lymon as only John Darnielle can write one.
Nothing in the shadows, but the shadowhands, reaching out to sad, young, frightened men. The loneliest people in the whole, wide world are the ones you're never going to see again.
