Townland's album "Honey on the Hi-Fi" is out now wherever you listen. linktr.ee/townland
Great song and sound
I wonder how many sales this plug got.
I want to hear conan play in the band ❤️
This is legit. I'm a fan.
Will there be a physical release?
This video is a rollercoaster. From Conan's predatory enjoyment of Matt's discomfort, Sona gleefully spectating, and then the song and music video being amazing. It just keeps building
And Sona thirsting over Gourley’s ancestor
Definitely a legit band and a great
wow, that is genuinely a great song!
listen to the whole album, that's not even the best song. every song is a hit after hit.
Yes, I agree! Very weird lyrics but great song!
Awesome song:)
It was an amazing surprise. I wasn't expecting something like that.
I almost feel tricked by how good that song was
Sona un-ironically calling the grandfather a looker was gold lol
Let’s just say she was half right
what's a looker..... just wanna confirm
@@conandoobrien8605 someone who’ll make you do a second look towards that person.
@@andrewhogan6533 I half-see what you did there
@@Seabeams *wink wink*
What a journey this episode was. Matt acted so embarassed describing the video and song. He's in a band they didn't seem to even know about. He played it off like like this wasn't about to be brilliant, and then here we are on a song so good I can't stop listening. I am thoroughly enjoying the entire album.
Imagine if you'd told Elmer in the late 19th century that 150 years later his story would be told on a podcast on the Internet and there would be a song and a video made about him that people from around the world would see. Then of course you'd have to explain what all of those words meant. They would have undoubtedly thought you were crazy.
Imagine the same happens to you. In 150 years your story will be told in a platform which doesnt even exist now (like dream projection or something). And everybody will get a chance to get a taste.
I love that Conan rhymed 'rooster' with 'booster' and the lyrics use 'schmooster'
"I'm not gonna lie, he's a... He's a looker..." - Sona Movsesian, 2022, talking about a man with one eye....
When you rewatch it, you realize that no one actually made fun of Matt’s band, they just said they were going to and laughed at his discomfort (but NOT at the band).
What I love is that Conan laughs and makes fun of Matt Gourley, but he also makes sure to plug Matt’s band and album multiple times. It goes to show what a great guy Conan is. He does stuff for comedy but also wants to make sure that he promotes Matt’s band
I have Townland's album on loop now after hearing this episode. Wow. Such amazing, well-written lyrics and melody.
Way better than what I was expecting. For some reason I was thinking it would be more like "Grandma Got Ran Over By The Reindeer".
@@4seeableTV i think thats the general reaction.. it was way better than what we expected.. and gourley is too humble.. the dude is multi talented
His more comedy focused musical endeavors are worth seeking out.
Between this and Paul Rudd, this was the best episode of the podcast ever.
I believe this song is what kids these days would call a banger. It's soo damn good!
Elmer Ellsworth Gourley now lives on forever through song & lore! I'd like to imagine his reaction to hearing this song.
Oh Gourley, what have you done. Conan will feast on this for years to come. Sona must be soooo happy….she is off the hook. One of the best clips of podcasts. Love from India
From
And yes I'm not fun at parties redditers
Wow! I just listened to the album. It's amazing! Kudos Matt and Townland! My fave song is Sticks and Stones. Really touched me. Lost my mom during Covid, she had Alzheimer's/dementia. I was her full time caregiver for two years, we had no other option. But I am blessed to have been the one to be there for her. At the same time, I m heartbroken, and angry at times that she is gone, and I'm trying to regroup and get my life back together after her loss. This song speaks to me in so many ways. Thank you! You and the band are truly talented! Keep it up! ❤️🙆
♥️
I had a very similar experience. My heart goes out to you. I hope you stay strong. 💚
Great song and absolutely KILLER job on the video!! Concept, design, finished piece is so well done. Loved it.
I just listened to Townland's album, wow! Awesome music, great musicians, the singer has a beautiful voice, kinda reminds me of Karen Carpenter. Disco volante and Eyesore are my favorites! Well done Matt!
I’m convinced that’s Gillian Welch doing some side work.
Yes! Karen Carpenter sounding! My dad grew up with her, we got to meet her in the 70's when she came back to her/our neighborhood in New Haven, Hall Street. I felt the same vibe! ❤️🙆
Had the same association with Carpenter :) Grest band, for me Eyesore is the hit of the album
Vocalist is Shannon Locke
Matt is a genius, so many talents. Love the song
I loved this! This was actually one of the best things ever on this podcast! :D
We need an Eyesore feat. Conan O'Brien
The song was really good ☺️😂
@@gilbertodepiento8521 ya know this is a great idea! because I think Gourley is pretty mean on the old axe and would shred Conan into oblivion, potentially restoring balance in the universe.
That song is fantastic! I see you Townland - with both eyes. 👁👁
Damn, just realized the song was at the end of this after about a month...love it. And Elmer is indeed handsome....with his one eye.
I absolutely love everything about that song! The bass line is so catchy 😄 and the singers voice is great. I also really like the build-up in the song. Very, very well made!
This was a perfect segment on the podcast 😁 love you guys ❤
I guessed the song would be good, given that everything Matt is involved with is good. Just wasn't expecting it to be THAT good!
Matt Gourley is the perfect replacement to Andy. He was an instant hit for me. Might I say he is wittier than most comedians today. Loved this one❤️
Secret incoming...Matt Gourley is actually a comedian too :o
The quality of this podcast is unmatched. The top tier comedy and the amazing artistry are second to none. Conan is an insane talent and he always surrounds himself with truly gifted people that compliment him so well like Sona and Matt. Thank god I'm in the timeline where this podcast and these wonderful people exist.
I still listen to this song because It's good😊
Ever since I heard this song on the podcast I have been listening to Townland songs on UA-cam. I love the singers voice.
The full album is on Spotify, too
++++, if they can make what essentially a joke-like song sound so beautiful and soul-cleaning, I think that their future might be very bright indeed. Kudos to you, Mr. Gourley, Kudos to you and your band!)
@@Anonimus693 the whole album is great, two songs are covers but the rest are originals
Such a good song omg!!! Gourley surprises with something new everytime, songwriting this time...
God damn!!!! That song is SSSOOOOO GOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💯💯💯💯💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Poor Conan, there was nothing cringe at all about that song. His Thanksgiving feast in the desert was a mirage. I don't even know why Matt was embarrassed. I love how the lights in the video switched between chorus, solo, etc.
I bought Honey On The HiFi when it came out and Eyesore is a banger! Gourley rules!
Team Coco knows how to set up that earworm bait.
Mr Has-Two-Eyes Gourley has made a good jam.
This album is incredible. More people need to listen
Holy crap, Matt you've got yourself a new fan. The comp and vocals are great! You would break the internet if you invited Conan for a random live show in LA.
That radio intro from Conan gave me goosebumps
are you kidding me?! that. song. is. amazing.
I always heard if you choke the chicken enough, you could lose your eyesight. I never believed my mom, but I guess technically she was right.
bahahaha this reminds me of the time sona revealed her husband's "breathing" exercises. he was so giddy 😂
I went to high school with Gourmey. He was a celebrated personality at the school. This episode confirms that the schools consensus about his appeal was absolutely…correct. For all the right reasons. Make no mistake accept no imitations. Matt Gourmey. ⭐️-lee says ‘hi’.
Not a good sign if you can't spell his name right lol
@@AndorranStairway lmfao he even edited it
@@AndorranStairway it might be a nickname
@@jbell4574 I go to the same supermarket as Gourley. He was a celebrated customer at the supermarket. Make no mistake he does not like being called Gourmey.
⭐️- Barack says ‘hi’.
I remember gourmey when he was alive. All before he got this very rare deadly disease that all youtube commenters type in for the likes but could almost always never type the exact name because the disease was invented for the likes, they cant even put in a made up name like 'likemyosis likecoma'. You will be missed gourmey.
He “prematurely” lost an eye? Which are the generally agreed-upon prime eye loss years?
After death probably
That song is awesome!!! I'm gonna follow Gourley's band now.
I could play this song over and over again!
5:05 Gourley embarrassed. I’m in love 😍😍
ikr? as if I wasn't crushing hard enough on him before that 💟
I can honestly say this song is waaay better than I expected. Kudos!
this song is a total banger! Way to go Matt!
Awesome song!
So good! Gourley needs to make a version of the song where Conan drops a verse in his old-timey voice
Such a bop! I've added it to one of my playlists on Spotify 🤗
This is exactly the reason why this podcast is beyond brilliant 😅
The song is actually awesome! Very heartwarming sound, and the rest of the video was funny as always
That song was incredible.
This song is incredible.
What the heck how have I not heard this song before!? This slaps!!! Matt should make more songs like this!!!
I wish we got to see / hear conan and sona's reaction how awesome the song was😄
Wow, the music is fantastic. Great work Gourley!
Damn, Matt!! Great song. Great band. Singer is so good.
Wow....a sad,yet beautiful composition
As a fellow musician I tip my hat to Mr Gorley
Back story, eggscellent graphics, and a heck of a song. Bravo Townland! 💐
I’ve been jamming to that Townland album all week
Find someone who looks at you the way Sona looks at Gourley’s grandfather.
Actually surprised how much I love the song it’s really well done
Conan is everything ♥️
I just love these three. The camaraderie is impeccable!
I first heard this song a few months ago and I love it so much, it i so perfect in every way!
I legit like this song! Awesome job Matt!
Bro, Gorley's band is actually really good! Eye sore is the jam!. I love the country indie vibes.. Great lyrics and melody too. Keep up the good work Gore Man!
Freaking GREAT song Matt!!!
I thought this is just going to be like a jokey song but it is actually awesome, everything about it is a work of art (except for the tragedy)!
Tragedy is very much a part of art. It definitely plays it’s part.
I too, sir, know of such a man. Also, the song slaps.
Yes - but isn't slapping a BAD thing to do now . . . ?
@@SALESPRODUCTIONS Fair point
@@SALESPRODUCTIONS songs can still slap, humans no
That was a much better song than I was expecting.
Okay, I wasn't ready for how epic that song and video ended up being. RIP Elmer and the overzealous rooster. I'm sure he made for some delicious soup.
That song is magnificent!
I was absolutely not expecting Gourley's band to be derivative of Jason Isbell. Good for them! I like it.
"prematurely lost an eye"? At what age are we supposed to lose an eye?
Ha ha ha! This comment is everything! I died laughing!
I mean your not wrong.. we all just bypass that lyric like it’s normal lol maybe there is actually an average age where we lose our eye lol…. ALEXA… when will I lose my eye???
Does some punctuation help?
"Elmer Gourley, prematurely, lost an eye"
@@John_C_J nope, doesn't help. Nobody is ever supposed to lose an eye, so the word "prematurely" is the problem, not the punctuation.

This podcast is awesome, you never know where it takes you to.
Epic trio!
Yet one more reason to love and deeply appreciate Matt. Really great song, absolutely love the writing, arrangement, and clever lyrics (I'm a sucker for clever internal rhymes), and the video is brilliant. Team Townland!
Cool tune,..great lyrics,...paints an amazing picture. I love the instrumentation. BRAVO!
Gourley’s such a great lyricist
Holy Cra, great song!
Have been listening Townland on Spotify. A great album.
The song has Neko Case vibes.. love it!
what a great song and really awesome video ! cheers to you matt !
Really enjoyed the story, didn't expect A) the song or B) the song to be so good! Good job TownLand!
Awesome work Gourley!
This song is so beautiful it brings me tears
Sona's right, he was a looker. Also, good song!
the band sounds exactly as I thought it would
also, Sona being gourleys time travelling great great grandmother confirmed
Man, that's a good song.
Man, that's a bloody good song.
The Gourley genes are strong.
"They're fertile".
I haven’t gotten chills from a song like this in AWHILE. Beautiful music, cleverly funny lyrics, will be checking out the rest of the album!
Tragedy plus Time
"Insert noun" + plus time
I'm stealing this.
Great song! Matt you’re so talented! Just purchased it and a few others in iTunes 🙂🙂🙂
That’s an amazing song.
Excellent clip and song!
Good work, everyone!!
wow that song was really good!!
Great song. I learned a lot from it. As good as anything that's cone out this year.
Gourley’s music sounds exactly like I thought it would
Whoa, Matt. The song and the graphics were all awesome! Do you have a fan club?
