I dont know why but this song makes me think of some old thing? Some bittersweet nostalgic thing, some paul mcartney, some Neil diamond too, and it feels like a hug to my soul but at the same time its like a stab straight to my heart 😢
There's a particularly bitter pill in those lyrics. Glad someone has taken the initiative to sing about it. I'm with Wetherall on this one. Tremendous stuff.
I cannot name a better song than this
Before the revolution -father john misty same guy same album but honestly more nuanced and beautiful than this on imo
I fucking love this song more and more every time I hear it
I luv this song so much and this dude
This has been one of my favorite songs since I first heard it and I love it more without the laugh track on the album. His voice is so good I get pissed mine is so shit.
Patrick Davis Are you sure it’s one of your favourite songs? Because it doesn’t have a laugh track. That’s Bored in the USA.
Josh Tillman is the sexiest man alive.
He could look like Joseph Merrick and this comment would still be true, with that voice and musical prowess.
I was gonna like this but it has 69 likes 👌
dois de março de dois mil e vinte e um, memento mori. se sobrevivermos para ler isto daqui 5 anos, vivendo no brazil, nunca mais vamos morrer
Concordo com você.
how the guy behind the camera makes an up close of a wedding ring, like c'mon!
listen to this after you eat a baked potato.
The comedy of man starts like this
Our brains are way too big for our mothers' hips
And so Nature, she divines this alternative
We emerged half-formed and hope that whoever greets us on the other end
Is kind enough to fill us in
And, babies, that's pretty much how it's been ever since
Now the miracle of birth leaves a few issues to address
Like, say, that half of us are periodically iron deficient
So somebody's got to go kill something while I look after the kids
I'd do it myself, but what, are you going to get this thing its milk?
He says as soon as he gets back from the hunt, we can switch
It's hard not to fall in love with something so helpless
Ladies, I hope we don't end up regretting this
Comedy, now that's what I call pure comedy
Just waiting until the part where they start to believe
They're at the center of everything
And some all powerful being endowed this horror show with meaning
Oh, their religions are the best
They worship themselves yet they're totally obsessed
With risen zombies, celestial virgins, magic tricks, these unbelievable outfits
And they get terribly upset
When you question their sacred texts
Written by woman-hating epileptics
Their languages just serve to confuse them
Their confusion somehow makes them more sure
They build fortunes poisoning their offspring
And hand out prizes when someone patents the cure
Where did they find these goons they elected to rule them?
What makes these clowns they idolize so remarkable?
These mammals are hell-bent on fashioning new gods
So they can go on being godless animals
Oh comedy, their illusions they have no choice but to believe
Their horizons that just forever recede
And how's this for irony, their idea of being free is a prison of beliefs
That they never ever have to leave
Oh comedy, oh it's like something that a madman would conceive!
The only thing that seems to make them feel alive is the struggle to survive
But the only thing that they request is something to numb the pain with
Until there's nothing human left
Just random matter suspended in the dark
I hate to say it, but each other's all we got
The best lyrics ever made
It’s up there but it’s best to not say it’s the best because it’s ego centered
Tâââbarrrnak!!!!😶😶😶😶😶😶😶
DEUS !
If I got word an asteroid was making impact with the earth in six minutes and thirty two seconds, I know what I'd do
This comment wins the internet for all time.
He's not a buffoon like Jim Morrisson, although they were equally nihilistic.❤
...are
Strong voice, weak beard. Can't have the full package.
When did you first see FJM ? Was it today ? Have you ever seen his previous beard ?
ya but you suck at singing and have no talent probably, so fuck your beard...move along troll haha
He probs shaved that very morning.
Sounds like a store brand Elton John. I miss Tillman.
St. Clou† Like Elton and James Taylor’s milquetoasty lovebaby. Could use more of Elton’s DNA and less of JT’s nauseating sweetness. Either way, generic rendering of the two...not my taste, but if some enjoy it that’s cool too I suppose.
sixbladeknife44 Well said
I hear way more classic Randy Newman in this record than Elton.But what he forges anew of his own inspiration is way more interesting than whatever you two are babbling about.
Elton John is not writing this quality, familiar sounds very different content imo. It doesn’t need to be a competition.
