The Mountain Goats é o projeto musical do canto/compositor e guitarrista John Darnielle. A revista The New Yorker referiu a ele como "Melhor compositor não-hip-hop da América". No artigo de junho de 2006, revista Paste nominou Darnielle um dos "100 melhores compositores ao vivo". As letras de Darnielle são literais e repletas com imaginário com referências da literatura clássica, religião e mitologia, cultura pop, arte, e história. Outros possuem vagas referências ao seu padrasto

EF Saw the sycamore underneath the moon
AmC I was waiting for something, and you were sleeping
D out there in the living room
EF and it was 5:16 AM the air was sharp and cool
AmCD and I wondered where you buried our dark little jewel
Chorus:
GD and the heat (flies?) in the room
CD I am digging graves, I am digging graves
GD and the water boiling on the stove
CD I am digging graves, I am digg-ing graves
[back to first pattern]
So I held you close to me I saw the shadows start to gather outside beneath the sycamore tree and something was changing there was something here entirely new first thing into blossom inside of us both with the sun coming up and me holding onto you
[to chorus pattern]
and your body breath(ing) on mine i am digging graves, i am digging graves and your hands fly thru my hair i am digging graves, i am digging graves
