The Mountain Goats - "Your Belgian Things"
Of all the music that has been released this year, one song grabs my heart whenever I hear it. "Your Belgian Things," from the Mountain Goats' We Shall All Be Healed is an excellent example that John Darnielle's songwriting gets even better with the passing years. The song both builds and unfolds, and is filled with restrained emotion. This solo acoustic performance is especially poignant.
This version is from the KEXP performance from May 21st of this year.
