The video for the Mountain Goats' Transcendental Youth track "Cry for Judas" offers several things: Young love, curiosity about Satan, the early days of a garage band, an adorable mouse, and tragedy. It's definitely an emotional rollercoaster. (Keep an eye out for Jon Wurster.)

Writing about the track on the Mountain Goats website, John Darnielle said, "it is about survival but that's kind of an oversimplification, it's also about building a vehicle from the defeated pieces of the thing you survived and piloting that vehicle through the cosmos, it's kind of complicated but people who know what I'm talking about will kind of intuitively get the idea and the rest of you will I hope be able to get a sense of it through the song."
