干脆犀利的acoustic吉他，清澈嘹亮而略显孤独的人声，带给你一种仿佛站在高原上忘却世俗的心境，仿佛是一种生活高山上离群索居的羚羊。多次听他们的歌曲，越沉醉于这种简洁纯粹的美；最令人感到矛盾的是在这样的音乐中歌词却充满了对生活中的琐碎和彷徨的描述，但这种描述又有些自嘲式的洒脱和幽默感。
今天为大家带来的是The Mountain Goats乐队的在八月二十一号发行的新专辑《Get Lonely》中的一首歌曲“Woke Up New”，简单的歌词配合干脆的吉他，忘却世俗的心境……
The Mountain Goats － Woke Up New
On the morning when I woke up without you for the first time
I felt free and I felt lonely and I felt scared
And I began to talk to myself almost immediately
Not being used to being the only person there
The first time I made coffee for just myself, I made too much of it
But I drank it all just cause you hate it when I let things go to waste
And I wandered through the house like a little boy lost in the fall
And an astronaut could've seen the hunger in my eyes from space
And I sang
Oh, What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?
What do I do without you?
On the morning when I woke up without you for the first time
I was cold so I put on a sweater and I turned up the heat
And the walls began to close in and I felt so sad and freightened
I practically ran from the living room and into the street
And the wind began to blow and the trees began to pant
And the world in its cold way started coming alive
And I stood there like a buisness man waiting for the train
And I got ready for the future to arrive
And I sang
Oh, What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?
What do I do without you?
