happy 20th birthday to the Sunset Tree. in honor of the Sunset Tree today I wrote a song that doesn't sound anything like any of the songs on TST, because I am very that way, as my friend Brad would have said. For every look back, one look forward. www.instagram.com/p/DI4ULLevpr... - ThreadSky

Happy birthday to the Sunset Tree, and happy anniversary to John. Much love to you and all involved, from northern California

Can’t remember who told me about it but that was my first one, went backwards to All Hail after that and ??? Man what a great record!

One of the best albums ever. Thanks for writing it.

Some folks worked together in the Mountain Goats Discord to put together a little cover project in preparation for this anniversary. I wanted to share those, not because I assume you want to hear your songs played back to you, but to say thanks for them. Here's to 20 more!

Congrats! One of the things I love about tMG is the sound and style is always evolving, looking forward.

The Sunset Tree was the soundtrack I wrote my memoir about memory (and how trauma affects the forming of it) and I've thanked you in my head for it a million times, but now I guess I'm thanking you on this comment feed. So, uh, thank you a million times.

As someone who went to one of these shows as a 17 year old in Australia, and screamed at the top of my lungs, this made my tear up a little this morning.

20th anniversary re-release of come, come to the sunset tree?

Happy anniversary! Since I’m the jaded vet in the room, shout out to Hawaiian Feeling and the Peel Session version of Tetrapod where Peter played a line that was kinda reminiscent of 7 Chinese Bros.

When my dad gave me this album almost 20yrs ago, he told me, “I think this is an important album for you to hear at this point in your life and I hope you love it.” He was right and I still love it.

The album that saved my life.

gonna paraphrase John here, "no, you did that, I just wrote the soundtrack"

He built the house, you just moved into it.

toms---table.bsky.social•10 days ago

He actually may have said that to me, I waited for him after a show once and broke down telling him how much the album meant to me. It was such a a blur.
