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.
I love that Conan rhymed 'rooster' with 'booster' and the lyrics use 'schmooster'
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.
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.
You, sir, have my sense of humor 👍
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'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).
Elmer Ellsworth Gourley now lives on forever through song & lore! I'd like to imagine his reaction to hearing this song.
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!
Great song and absolutely KILLER job on the video!! Concept, design, finished piece is so well done. Loved it.
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. 💚
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
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
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.
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...
That song is fantastic! I see you Townland - with both eyes. 👁👁
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!
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.
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.
bahahaha this reminds me of the time sona revealed her husband's "breathing" exercises. he was so giddy 😂
He “prematurely” lost an eye? Which are the generally agreed-upon prime eye loss years?
After death probably
Matt is a genius, so many talents. Love the song
I bought Honey On The HiFi when it came out and Eyesore is a banger! Gourley rules!
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
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.
Team Coco knows how to set up that earworm bait.
Mr Has-Two-Eyes Gourley has made a good jam.
I still listen to this song because It's good😊
That song is awesome!!! I'm gonna follow Gourley's band now.
God damn!!!! That song is SSSOOOOO GOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💯💯💯💯💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
are you kidding me?! that. song. is. amazing.
Conan O'Brien radio should have a music hour with more of this! The song is actually very good and Conan's radio voice really sets it up!
I could play this song over and over again!
So good! Gourley needs to make a version of the song where Conan drops a verse in his old-timey voice
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.
This album is incredible. More people need to listen
That radio intro from Conan gave me goosebumps
this song is a total banger! Way to go Matt!
The song is actually awesome! Very heartwarming sound, and the rest of the video was funny as always
5:05 Gourley embarrassed. I’m in love 😍😍
ikr? as if I wasn't crushing hard enough on him before that 💟
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.
Such a bop! I've added it to one of my playlists on Spotify 🤗
Awesome song!
I can honestly say this song is waaay better than I expected. Kudos!
This is exactly the reason why this podcast is beyond brilliant 😅
Find someone who looks at you the way Sona looks at Gourley’s grandfather.
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.
What the heck how have I not heard this song before!? This slaps!!! Matt should make more songs like this!!!
Back story, eggscellent graphics, and a heck of a song. Bravo Townland! 💐
I’ve been jamming to that Townland album all week
I wish we got to see / hear conan and sona's reaction how awesome the song was😄
Conan is everything ♥️
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.
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!
I just love these three. The camaraderie is impeccable!
This song is incredible.
Damn, Matt!! Great song. Great band. Singer is so good.
Actually surprised how much I love the song it’s really well done
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
Wow, the music is fantastic. Great work Gourley!
"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.

I was absolutely not expecting Gourley's band to be derivative of Jason Isbell. Good for them! I like it.
I first heard this song a few months ago and I love it so much, it i so perfect in every way!
Cool tune,..great lyrics,...paints an amazing picture. I love the instrumentation. BRAVO!
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!
Wow....a sad,yet beautiful composition
As a fellow musician I tip my hat to Mr Gorley
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 was incredible.
That was a much better song than I was expecting.
Whoa, Matt. The song and the graphics were all awesome! Do you have a fan club?
This podcast is awesome, you never know where it takes you to.
Epic trio!
Have been listening Townland on Spotify. A great album.
Freaking GREAT song Matt!!!
I legit like this song! Awesome job Matt!
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!
Really enjoyed the story, didn't expect A) the song or B) the song to be so good! Good job TownLand!
the band sounds exactly as I thought it would
also, Sona being gourleys time travelling great great grandmother confirmed
This is brilliant from beginning to end omg
This is fire 🔥 ❤️🔥!! Respect great grandpa
what a great song and really awesome video ! cheers to you matt !
Great tune. Definitely gonna get the album now. Well done, Mr. Gourley.
That video (concept and execution) was absolutely amazing, and the song was sublime as well. Have to agree, Matt, it was time.
This is true art. Beautiful song and video.
Awesome work Gourley!
Holy Cra, great song!
Damn, that song is actually pretty good. These people are so talented
Matt Gourley, that's a great song and I would definitely listen to it again. Love Rooster schmooster and eye patch engineer! Great tribute to your great great grandfather, and he was handsome and cool based on this story! Love the sound of the band! And the video! I'm in! 🙆❤️
Excellent clip and song!
Good work, everyone!!
Gourley’s such a great lyricist
