Neutral Milk Hotel - Ferris Wheel On Fire Lyrics

where was this recorded? so clean

/mu/ the mangum strikes back

I saw nmh with the love of my life who is no longer in my life.

There are no more tears left to cry.
Because I cried all the oceans
So much
Left them dry.

This is the ITAOTS of some alternate universe.

19:53 I forget which Green Day song this is, maybe When I Come Around, but its that just dropped a step.

so uh, pretty weird that april 8th is my birthday *and* my fav song on this album
hell yea :')

If I could get just ONE SUBSCRIBER .. YOU COULD MAKE MY DAY

I've heard all these songs since at least 2004ish and of course some were on albums and the first EP. Can someone explain exactly what this is?

Why did he decide to make A Baby For Pree so much faster? Makes no sense. Sounds way better as a slow song. Slowing it to 0.75x with the YouTube player sounds strange.

Engine makes no real sense but makes my heart sad just the same.

08. When I Come Around 19:54

this is the place art hoes gather

NMH and Mircophones/Mt. Eerie never gets old

Damn, if this is what Jeff was storing up for almost 14 years, just think of what he'll make in another 14 years!

demo?wonderfully bubly

Is SAWBLADE an instrument?

two seconds into april 8th and im crying

fuck i need adderall

I love jeff and his music so much

Words can't express how much i need nmh, so ill go straight to my question. When was this ep released? After Avery Island? Before? After Aeroplane?

my dreamgirl dont exist gives daniel johnston vibes

Why ain't this on Spotify?

idk but i really fucking wish it was

BON SANG

0:38 ger mon kneEEEeEEeEeEEEEEEEEEeE

Just now realizing My Dreamgirl Don’t Exist is pre-Naomi

BOOOOOOIS ITS AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD ON THER WEBSITE

anyone else get anti-depressant ads when watching this vid.

Is jeff singing about Anne frank again or does he have a crazy fetish for dead girls?

This world needs more art. We need more of this.

19:54 wehikuł czasu dżem?? trochę tak jakby

okay but how is NMH still good after this much time
and how do they get a completely new sound

How does this have less than a million views? Perhaps it is too good to be popular.........

When the Flatards post positive reviews, the You Tube agenda of video removal will kick in..the Republican closet homo haters still hold the balls of our webs.

at the beginning of the last song, a Trojan commercial popped up and started laughing to myself alone in my room

This feels like Aeroplane Part 2

Ferris Wheel is the most heart stopping, wrenching and beautiful songs ever. That’s the only way I can describe it.

I come back to this constantly year after year

robert: you're rolling again
jeff: *thanks robert :)*

This ever coming out on CD/Vinyl??

It is on vinyl, an ep from recent box set; beutiful!

[Verse 1]
Crawl across toward your window
I'm calling softly from the street
Always a lonely widow
Half awake and sleeping on my feet
I'm of age but have no children
No quarter phone booth calls to home
Just late night television
Inside my bedroom all alone

[Verse 2]
There is no use in waiting
Offer up your steps so I can climb
Show me all your figure paintings
Etched in the middle of the night
Let me stretch upon your carpet
Let me hear the rain tap on your street
Knowing I am safe on the inside
Blankets wrapped and drifting off to sleep

And now she knows, she'll never be afraid.

Cape-wearing Anne Frank from the sky shoots light

Two hea... whoops, wrong album!

A couple years ago a friend recommended that I should listen to Holland 1945, and ever since I love Neutral Milk Hotel, I wish I could say thank you to him one last time

Why the hell isn't this album on streaming services like spotify!!

Am I the only one that thinks Oh Sister as an album opener sounds wicked similar to Alpha Incipiens opening Zopilote Machine by the Mountain Goats?

I see where you’re coming from. Both have that kind of frantic fast guitar.

Matt Brooks there’s something about that strumming pattern I guess.

It sounds like a mix between Alpha Incipiens and To Ramona (which makes it funnier that it’s named Oh Sister)

Love it regardless.
Nothing like hearing your influences come through another influence ahahaha

2019 gang 👌✌

So wait did this come out in 2011? Because I thought Aeroplane was the last thing ever put out

BristanXBromer these are essentially b sides and scrapped songs from aeroplane and on avery island. they were recorded when those albums were recorded for those albums, scrapped, and released as a separate ep in 2011.

the tree people or dinosaur jr comes to mind

i feel like i used to see this album available to buy all the time, now i would kill for a copy, i dun goofed

Sure both their LPs are more cohesive, but this is the release that keeps me coming back years and years and years and years later

I love jeff and his music so much

i was *not* expecting a baby for pree to sound like that

sad this isn't on spotify

why the fuck is the space alien girl destroying a city

this is basically just a sequel to aeroplane over the sea and honestly i couldn't be happier

dont you guys hate how its trendy to say NMH is over rated because the fans actually love the music? I keep noticing people roll their eyes when they bring up the band and it makes me want to punch them in the nose. I got to see them twice and singing along to their music with the whole crowd swaying back and forth was probably the closest I will ever have to a religious experience.

These songs provoke a very emotional response from me and it's hard to accurately pinpoint why, but it's beautiful

Kinda a wild record

Oh Sister sounds like the whole ITAOTS album condensed into a song. Being song one, it's like a perfect nostalgia trip that leeways into the rest of the unique album. It's really genius actually.

In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, Pt 2 & 3

Does he even need to breathe?!

Where can I purchase/download this EP?

You can buy the physical/vinyl version of the EP as part of the NMH Collection Boxset, it's on their website.

"My Dream Girl Don't Exist" is a lot older than 2011. What's the background on this E.P.?

These were recorded during and after Aeroplane, My Dream Girl Don't Exist was a live version.

MDGDE was recorded on July 4, 1996 at a solo live show at Aquarius Records in San Francisco. The others were recorded between 2002 and 2010 in various Elephant 6 studios.

My Dreamgirl Dont Exist is pretty soul crushing but the last bit from ghost hit me like bricks

Is the bandcamp ever coming?

7:23 for the inline peeps

Oh Sister is like if Oh Comely was played to the tempo and strum pattern of Two Headed Boy

April ludgate has great taste in music... Don't know why andy was freaking out about 😂😕😁😁

As it turns out Jeff Mangum can do the same thing over and over into eternity and it will always be beautiful

Why is this not on Spotify?

Hope everyone knows his love for Anne frank, he literally fell in love with her. Had a nervous breakdown and went off the grid..

i just found this. ive been listening to nmh since i was a little kid. im going thru one of the worst times i ever have, maybe, and this is really comforting and helpful. thank you.

April 8th reminds me of Modest Mouse

Kinda funny how everyone is the biggest fan, and this video has 665k views...yet, wishful eyes sits over there with 7k views.... yeah I've been listening to NMH since I was 14 back in 07. Got the aeroplane tatted on my arm. Get outta hereeee

Fuck you, Jerry Seinfeld!

The first song of the album 'Ferris Wheel on Fire' is very interesting because in parts of the lyrics there are some very repetitive things Jeff says from old songs specifically songs from 'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea'. First Jeff says "And oh sister sweet brown and comely" which is very amazing considering there is a song called 'Oh comely' that of course we all know about and also in this song he mentions a girl named 'Rose Wallace Goldeline' and this also ties into the song 'Oh Comely' because at the ending of the incredible song he mentions somebody called Goldaline specifically the lyrics say "Goldaline my dear" and this is what we first hear about her. Knowing this we can infer that 'Goldaline' is 'Rose Wallace Goldaline' and that Jeff loves this person dearly but is this person could just be a placeholder for somebody he knew in his life or actually somebody called 'Rose Wallace Goldaline'. Also some lyrics from 'Communist Daughter' come into this song and these lyrics are "She moves herself about her fist" which is also said in "Oh sister". 'Oh Sister' is actually very similar to 'Oh comely' some lyrics are shared but also look at the names another name for 'Oh Comely' could be 'Oh beautiful' since the word comely is used to describe beautiful or something nice to look at. If this is true I think that Goldaline was either one of Jeffs best friends or he had an extreme love for that person, while reading 'Communist Daughters' lyrics you can interpret the meaning behind it which is a girl being passed on for sex, maybe this was Goldaline?

I don't know who this "robert" guy is, but if he's reading this can i just say, from the bottom of my heart: thanks robert.

robert schneider (not the actor rob schneider)

Thanks Robert

Jeff Mangum would flip shit if he saw this on youtube... lol
