    1:40 gave me a chuckle. He's only human after all.

    Him forgetting his lyrics is pretty ironic considering the subtext of Pure Comedy. Love this man and seeing him make that mistake and keep rolling made me love him all the more. He's one of us soulful predators too.

      Josh naturally wondered to himself what the lyric was, which is" "Naturally the dying man wonders to himself."

      I think that was the sound guy that messed up the MIC

    It makes me feel better that I’m not the only one that gets lost in songs so much that you start the wrong verse. 😂

    there’s honestly something so amazing about hearing someone who sounds the same live as they do in the studio. for FJM i honestly think he sounds better live

    Saw Mr Tillman at All Points East in London. What a player! Incredible.

    Here I thought I was the only one that forgot where I was in my own songs! This is still so brilliant! I’m thankful for finding FJM recently, I was really ready to give up.

    There are so many lyrics on this masterpiece of a record I often wander how he recalls them all. FWIW saw him perform Leaving LA live and he didn’t miss a note or word.

    Naturally the dying man wonders to himself:
    Has commentary been more lucid than anybody else?
    And had he successively beaten back the rising tide
    Of idiots, dilettantes, and fools on his watch while he was alive?
    Lord, just a little more time
    Oh, in no time at all
    This'll be the distant past
    So, says the dying man, once I'm in the box,
    Just think of all the overrated hacks running amok
    And all of the pretentious, ignorant voices that will go unchecked-
    The homophobes, hipsters, and one percent
    The false feminists he'd managed to detect
    Oh, who will critique them once he's left?
    Oh, in no time at all
    This'll be the distant past
    What he'd give for one more day to rate and analyze
    The world made in his image as of yet to realize
    What a mess to leave behind
    Eventually the dying man takes his final breath
    But first checks his news feed to see what he's about to miss
    And it occurs to him a little late in the game
    We leave as clueless as we came
    From rented heavens to the shadows in the cave
    We'll all be wrong someday

    Naturally the dying man wonders to himself:
    Has commentary been more elusive than anybody else?
    And had he successfully beaten back the rising tide
    Of idiots, dilettantes, and fools

    Lord, just a little more time
    Oh, in no time at all

    So says the dying man once I'm in the box
    Just think of all the overrated hacks running amok
    And all of the pretentious, ignorant voices that will go unchecked
    The homophobes, hipsters, and 1%
    The false feminists he'd managed to detect
    Oh, who will critique them once he's left?
    Oh, in no time at all
    This'll be the distant past
    What he'd give for one more day to rate and analyze
    The world made in his image as of yet
    To realize what a mess to leave behind
    Eventually the dying man takes his final breath
    But first checks his news feed to see what he's 'bout to miss
    And it occurs to him a little late in the game
    We leave as clueless as we came
    For the rented heavens to the shadows in the cave
    We'll all be wrong someday
    Oh
    Oh
    Oh

      Jay Parikh you really should have transcribed his mistake... disappointed tbh. I’m sorry, thank you for the lyrics, but I am.

      Lucid, not elusive. Who wants elusive commentary?
