My kid played this for me a few weeks back and I had to smile. His last album was a Glen Campbell throwback and now he's moved on the the 1980's sound of the pop and rock icons who got left in the dust and then moved into this disco country sound. Tom Jones, Jerry Lee Lewis, and even Gordon Lightfoot went this way. 40 plus years later the father is dipping his toe into a familiar pool, but the kids...the kids never heard that stuff. Everything old is new again....except for me...I'm just old.
I've never listening to a song of this man in my life, I went to listen this because it was in that Pitchfork 2024 song of the year list and I thought why not? I instantly loved it but now I'm realizing I've been listening to an 8 minutes song but I didn't see the time pass, it's so engaging and the lyrics are so interesting, my mind was just listening and enjoying it. I think I NEED to check out his discography. This song is so good.
@@sebfrett1005 I like Death of a Ladies' Man - it's Cohen vis-a-vis Phil Spector's crazy ass with a touch of disco. Iodine has real pathos, and Fingerprints is upbeat, country fun. Give it a chance!
I'm 68 years old and heard this song for the first time on WXPN while driving from NH to ME. What a fantastic song....great funky music, incredible lyrics. I'm a fan!
I just heard this on the radio not more than an hour ago and was knocked out...such a catchy chorus and a somewhat hypnotic melody...brilliant song! A New Fave!
That and the title track. Two monster songs that are worth the whole album. This guy never fails to deliver. Btw, I'm unsuccessfully trying to find some Disco music songs similar to "I guess time makes fools of us". This song is a killer. The groove, the coolness, the rhythm and, of course, his trade mark nonchalant voice.
I heard this song on Jefferson Public Radio a few weeks ago, and I can't get enough of it. How it sounds so funky *and* folksy at the same time is just perfection!
The chorus reminds me of "Just Dropped in (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) by Kenny Rogers, that appears in the soundtrack of The Big Lebowsky.
I feel it man, the great irony, the tragic humor of the whole human game. The endless change, the dissolution of all golden calves, the hypnotic dream world of Man's desires. God always has a new lesson for the dreamer. Do we ever wake up fully? Will God ever show us the plan? Again and again, we are humbled to our knees, bowing down to his mercy, to our ever breaking heart. We are nothing more than infinitesimal grains of sand, which contain infinity. Perhaps every pain is a stepping stone to liberation, and the best thing to fill our bellows of emptiness is laughter.
@@Mickcosmometry Brother man, if you were finished that quickly you need to add more cheese or maybe some frozen dinners into your diet. Back that truck up son. Take your god damned good and sweet time. No boss, no *man* can stand against the forces of nature.
Awesome song! I mean, "Parachute into the Anthropocene..." What?! Anthropocene? This is next-level songwriting from Josh. I love when songs include words or phrases not normally heard or spoken by goobers like myself. Runner-up in this category is when Shriekback used the word "parthenogenesis" in their 1985 (sort-of) hit, "Nemesis." I listened to FJM's song over and over when I was out working in my herb garden recently on sunny, warm day. And I realized that thyme just makes fools of us all.
Nobody can croon on a disco beat like @FatherJohnMisty! Y'all can talk about Dylan, but I'm getting flavors of Quincy Jones and The Brothers Johnson. And, the poetry here is the great-ish of our generation. Rock on, my brother \m/
heard this on the radio last night while sobbing from a really hard day trying to get through hours of dallas traffic and it stuck in my brain and calmed me down so thank you father john misty
@FatherJohnMisty Your great-ish song ever! I saw you at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley back in the "Pure Comedy" days and I can't wait to check you out in Bozeman, MT this year. Stay strange, my friend, all my love, and ROCK ON \m/
Nothing can top Pure Comedy or Leaving LA in terms of pure storytelling. When his voice finally cracks on those super long songs it's just 😚👌. This is top ten easily though.
This sounds like something Leonard Cohen would write. Not necessarily like his work, but rather what he'd be writing if he were alive and in his prime in ole anno domini 2024.
If you told me that John Prine and JJ Cale met up in heaven and decided to send a song back to those of us who are still on this mortal coil, I'd believe you. Great stuff, especially for those of us who's music weather forecast was usually high in the 70's . . .
There is no comparison to your sound... touching , soulful and untouchable energy.. we were real sad to not see u play pompey... however seeing you perform in southampton will stay in my soul and memory to the very last moment. Thankyou. Cheers for being one of a kind... classy, smart and humble... a true star...a beautiful moment you blessed us with. Nice one fella.. see u on the other side ❤
Love the return to a higher tempo--not quite the honkytonk of "Fear Fun" that I've always had my fingers crossed for, but I'll take it! The subtle autotune is kinda weird, but nothing to cry about. He sounds great. Massive production. Best Bond theme of 2024 confirmed.

Wake up babe, new 8-min Father John Misty Disco anthem just dropped.
If babe didn’t wake up for that then I’m available
Psych disco. Am I in love?
I hope he pushes the psychedelic angle in this next release.
@@ChefBarry she woke up but it means the world you’d be there for me
Kinda blues disco. I dig it.
Like Clint Eastwood roller skating off into the sunset...

was listening to some Gord this morning.
I don’t think this sounds like those artists but more like JJ Cale.
Loved this comment, have a good one, man.
I hear some Rod Stewart in there as well.
Don’t hear any 80s in this 🤷♂️. 70s sure.
Whoever did the production deserves a raise and a monument.
it's tame impala
Georgio Moroder?
Gorillaz?
Two of my faves together? Funny that x
@@murrtownchillen lol but really it is jonathan wilson
”I followed my dreams and my dreams said crawl” + sax solo, just hit different
"They came for a beating, he came to brawl." goes so hard
This guy is too clever for his own good..and I love him for it.
This is unstoppably good he has begun to transcend what we could imagine!!!!
This should be the credit roll song for the Series Finale of earth.
I like it. Who do we see about this?

What a time to be awake. 4:27am. Rewarding the burning of the midnight oil.
Bit of sage for the mix and blend... let's make things interesting.. what a quality tune
@@GForce-m8w I like that suggestion. I"m going to give it a try. Cheers friend.
Candlewaster - a great word
I will be playing this track 10 years from now.
See you here!!! I’ll get the beers 🎉
What about in twenty years or so? ;)
Yup, infinite repeat ...
10 out of 10. It's a good beat and you can dance to it!
Practically a disco beat. Or almost as much as The Wall pt 2 is
Some of the best lyrics EVER! A story teller dream jam, and that conga break! This right here is what's missing these days, REAL MUSIC. Luv it!
I live in NYC, but tuned into KCRW and just heard this song playing for the first time. Love it.
I just heard this on fuv 90.7
I heard it on WFUV! 🤗✨
I just heard it on KGNU out of Boulder, Colorado!
I heard on some local 90.? channel on a westward night run as the sun came up and I was cruising the salt flats in Utah.. Twas magical
Sick finally getting back to the fjm we fell in love with.
he never left
@DorisDay-lw4xs nah it wasnt
This is quality music... God bless padre John misty
I've never listening to a song of this man in my life, I went to listen this because it was in that Pitchfork 2024 song of the year list and I thought why not?

A solid 70s Leonard Cohen / Death of a Ladies' Man vibe. I dig.
That's what I was thinking too. Just like a Cohen song
Absolutely thinking same love this
The instrumentation and chord changes remind me of Don’t go home with your hard on for sure
Yeah for sure ..and not even the good Cohen either
@@sebfrett1005 I like Death of a Ladies' Man - it's Cohen vis-a-vis Phil Spector's crazy ass with a touch of disco. Iodine has real pathos, and Fingerprints is upbeat, country fun. Give it a chance!
Rise ye Mistonians... he has returned to shepard us into a new age.
I'm 68 years old and heard this song for the first time on WXPN while driving from NH to ME. What a fantastic song....great funky music, incredible lyrics. I'm a fan!
WXPN!❤ my favorite station!
And time really does nake fools of us all... the learning curve of the experience is priceless. So smart lyrically ...true poetry really

Thanks for the advice. That song is a killer 😊@@magicburrowsauce6955

Just wow, best music since Pure Comedy.....Misty does disco! Love it 🙂
The chorus reminds me of "Just Dropped in (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) by Kenny Rogers, that appears in the soundtrack of The Big Lebowsky.
Thank you!! That's what it was! Been racking my brain over that one.
K.R. ...... & The First Edition 😎
in case anyone else was wondering: album’s cover art is by Tragic Sunshine aka Kevin Tong
t.y.
Fabulous song. I never want this to end....

I'm choosing to believe a specific part of this comment was inspired by Finding Nemo
I hit the piano within 10 seconds of play. This is a brilliant piece of music. Love it
One of these days, that piano's gonna hit you back
PURE sympathy for all these studio musicians
JJ CALE would be proud of you John cheers from Greece, stay cool vibes man!.😮
easily the best part of my day was listening to this
This quality of sound is once and a blue moon...definitely
I think that's going to be a copy for me too. But that's one good thing (pma).
It’s got that JJ Cale vibe. Nice.

Reminds me somehow of the late great Leonard Cohen. Like 4 songs in one. Such an adventure.
College stations and NPR sends me to brings me here to listen to cool music.

love you mentioned Brothers Johnson
Well enjoyed 8 min of "I guess time makes fools of us all" don't regret it at all. Awesomeness of a funky rhythm.
This is awesome. Just heard it on the radio. Had to hear it again
Same here!
I didn't even realize this was 8+ minutes when I first listened to it. It's so good I don't even notice
The best song he’s done in a long time
This song is wonderful!! I've been listening to it on repeat for two days now!
Seriously channeling JJ Cale! So great to hear that inspiration.
Hear hear
I JUST HEARD THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME! I WAS BLOWN AWAY. I LOVE AND KNOW MUSIC! I CANT BELIEVE THAT I NEVER KNEW ABOUT THIS GUY.
..as i move thru my 50years Im goin deeper into 70 Country rock and FJM is alive when tothers arent ... UK gigs required!
Love this tune❤. Heard it on jo Whiley show and had to get it up on you tube. Love the story teller feeling just pouring from his voice❤❤
Love this...got a JJ Cale lilt goin' on
Wow... great song, great music, great beat. Love it....
The Stevie Wonder vide keys near the end makes my body move involuntarily...❤
This is musical brilliance. 🔥
This should've been on an album. It's a hell of a jam
I have good news
The music, the lyrics, the auto tune you almost can’t hear on a greatest hits album that really shouldn’t be a thing is one of his biggest funnies yet
I'm loving the sound and visuals. Vocals and lyrics on point as always. Amazing!
Captain Beefheart meets Ian Dury & The Blockheads , fuc*ing brilliant.
Can’t wait until this goes through about 7 months of touring and him and the boys go nuts on a live rendition
heard this on the radio last night while sobbing from a really hard day trying to get through hours of dallas traffic and it stuck in my brain and calmed me down so thank you father john misty
Excellent. I listened to this on repeat today for about an hour. Peak Misty.
@FatherJohnMisty Your great-ish song ever! I saw you at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley back in the "Pure Comedy" days and I can't wait to check you out in Bozeman, MT this year. Stay strange, my friend, all my love, and ROCK ON \m/

Oh, that wonderful line, "The great-ish minds of my generations..." Almost too clever - but I love it!
I heard this on SiriusXMU and was impressed because it wouldn’t end and I kind of liked it.
NAH BECAUSE BRO JUST RELEASED THE BEST SONG ON HIS CAREER
literally the BEST song of his career
This sounds like something Leonard Cohen would write. Not necessarily like his work, but rather what he'd be writing if he were alive and in his prime in ole anno domini 2024.
Thanks For this gift, i love you
U got the best vibe.. appreciation goes a long way. What a blessing this sound is ❤
His best song in years!
'The greatish minds of my generation'
Out-freaking-standing. Lyrics and music are just incredible. I love it!
This man doesn't miss a beat!
I would love a new record with this music style

Great song, sometimes we make fools of ourselves because of wrong decisions
this song has grown on me soo much.. cant wait for the album.
Excellent track. Keep putting in the work. We'll keep listening.
Brilliant.
Oh Goody! Like the disco-western flair ya got going with this. ❤
That sax solo is giving Bojack theme song. Love it
Damn i was only thinking that on the car ride home 😮
Everytime that I hear this song that same thought comes to me
wow...the track runs in a continuous loop. What a brilliant arrangement. thx

@@rtzqwe not at all. A pretty ubiquitous production tool. It's just an odd catch, usually it's a lot less egregious.
Definitely no autotune on this one ☝️
@@rtzqwe i mean, there is. But it's not a crime or anything, don't get upset. Very common practice for a studio recording.
Brilliant song, magnificent production
Production, the musians. Lyrics. So good. Instant classic
Love this
Gets better with each listen father killing it
I’m getting big Bob Dylan ‘Things Have Changed’ vibes off this
Absolutely!!!!!
As well as a JJ Cale vibe, imo.
Both on the level of incomparison... intellectual souls
Was trying to find this comment!
Very much so!
Love this cover art. 🍄
Worst compliment ever. As Beyonce is to country.
Groovy as a ruffle, my dude
I hope he is the next "one". This is song has been my new favorite.
John Misty..this track is excellent..I like 👍
Tune and image... PERFECT!
this has become my 38 year old anthem, can't stop listening
Oh hells yells! Josh returning with the fucking FUNK! Thanks for your continued greatness!
What an ultimate tune! Came across by chance listening to Jo Whiley on RADIO 2
So stoked for more of this (hopefully?)! It's sooooooo good.
Shades of “Things Have Changed” by Dylan
Yes! Very Dylanesque! With a touch of Bojack Horseman.
@DorisDay-lw4xs huehheuheheheh Dylan sounds bad m i rite
Love it. Can’t wait for a new album.
Funky! Much more the live version. Sounds the opening credits song to a movie
This is totally the song of my summer
My drink is watered down
With La Croix 😮 so good
My champion's on his knees
Instantly epic from the first time I heard it!
