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

C This song is for the rats Bb Who hurled themselves into the ocean DmF When they saw that the explosives in the cargo hold C Were just about to blow
C This song is for the soil Bb That's toxic clear down to the bedrock DmF Where no thing of consequence can grow C Drop your seeds there, let them go
CAmFAm --> play for 4 beats each Let them all go
CAmFAm* C Let them all go
C This song is for the people Bb Who tell their families that they're sorry DmFC For things they can't and won't feel sorry for
C And once there was a desk Bb And now it's in a storage locker somewhere DmF And this song is for the stick pins and the cottons C I left in the top drawer
CAmFAm Let 'em all go CAmFAm* Let 'em all go
Interlude: C Gm F C --> Play each chord for 4 beats. Play 4 times
C I wanna sing one for the cars Bb That are right now headed silent down the highway DmF And it's dark and there is nobody driving
C And something has got to give

CAmFAm Let 'em all go CAmFAm* Let it all go
Outro: CGmFC --> Play each chord for 4 beats. Play 4 times.
*: Strum the Am chord a few times and at the final strums release the index finger from the B string and strum. Alternate between this and the normal Am 2 or 3 times. Listen to the song to get the hang of it
