it’s funny because the beach boys version always felt so goddamn sad to me too, this version just takes it further with a more heartbreaking story

keeping thinking about "where you kiss the ass / that I've exposed to you" as a line and I never quite expect it

the devil & john berryman well they took a walk together, ended up in washington talking by the river... he said i surrounded myself by doctors & deep thinkers, their big heads & soft bodies make for lousy lovers. there was that night that we thought john berryman could fly, but he didn't so he died. she said you're pretty good with words, but words won't save your life. & they didn't, so he died.

" "By the second verse, dear friends/ My head will burst, my life will end/So I'd like to start this one off by saying live and love" *sanglote* Paroles de Will Sheff+ références à John Berryman+ Sloop John B= perfection.

I think I especially love this song because I have walked across the Washington Ave. bridge countless times and John Berryman was a good friend to my former poetry professor.

do druge strofe, dragi prijatelji // moja glava ce puci, moj zivot ce se zavrsiti // pa bih zapoceo ovu sa: // "zivi i voli"

I can't believe I didn't know this song existed until now.. what a beautiful and sad tribute to John Berryman's tortured life.. very moving, I absolutely love it.

Fell asleep listening to my ipod, woke up to this playing and it almost drove me crazy that I couldn't immediately place the song it was paying homage to.

i love this song. read the wiki about John Berryman (John B, geddit?), formerly John Allyn Smith. i love how Will Sheff links his songs all these historical people.
