What if the real irony is not the subject matter in the song but that the song is sung by a privileged white dude that isn't actually affected by any of the injustices he sings about... Powerful.
Actually, it is called sympathy. "Listen to the ironic song I wrote about injustice!" seems to fall a bit short of empathy...Less talk, more action. OR I guess we could just keep "empathizing" :D
How much injustice have you faced? I'm just trying to calculate how much validity your opinion has... Seriously though, I don't mean to pick a fight with you or anything. I do think you're vastly underestimating the amount of work it takes to create something like this. To dismiss any work of art as just "talk," particularly a song and a video like this that dozens of very talented people spent hundreds if not thousands of hours on is a little dismaying.
Oh no, I don't discredit the talent. I don't discredit the guy they paid to make the video or the sound engineer. I'll even give the PR agent kudos. Here is my position: Between "Board in the USA" and "Pure Comedy" the real irony is that you've got a white dude that parties every night writing "scathing" political songs about a status quo he is NOT trying to change. ..."oh humanity, what have we become!" as I have another drink. Maybe talking about injustice is the injustice?
I respect that. I agree people are easily controlled and manipulated. What's worse? Being controlled and manipulated or actually understanding what is going on not doing anything about it? Maybe the irony is that we all listen to FJM songs, agree with the lyrics and continue to live the exact same way. The bigger irony? FJM will continue to write the same songs, live the same way and get royalties from our apathy. Not a bad business model.
Each other is all we got, and if we don't trust each other we all die together, so for those who think otherwise and use divisive ends there will be reprocussions for not adhereing the massage: Solidarity or perish at your own risk, and those close to you, this is your 4 minute warning.
Kev, I disagree. It is a pretty heavy song. I certainly wouldn't compare all Father John Misty's lyrical prowess to say, - Roger Waters, but with this song, I think he could go toe to toe. But, hey, entertainment is subjective. Perhaps I just like that he included images of Trump, Obama, and Clinton in the point of the song singing about, "Goons", and, "Clowns". Finally a song that the left, and right can come together...... Nah, they're still fucked.
Cameron Wall Kanye isn't crazy either. Sometimes when people hold all the truth inside, when it comes out it's incoherent due to the struggle of suppressing thoughts and feelings instead of understanding them.
the Chris Hanson clip gets me every-time. Also, I can't believe this artwork is already 2 years old. cheers to whoever reads this, you have great taste.
This song is yet another perfectly written critique of the human condition by Father John Misty, and demonstrating, once more, why he is such a dynamic and powerful musician.
It's the best diss track of humanity I've ever seen. Lots of truth here and the reason it's so great is there's not a goddamn thing we can do about any of it, we took our paths as the most aware species on Earth and it's gonna be the reason we all die, too bad just too many different points of view on how things should be and the ones in charge just got the wrong points of view... They always have.
"we took our paths as the most aware species on Earth and it's gonna be the reason we all die, too bad just too many different points of view on how things should be and the ones in charge just got the wrong points of view... They always have." It's not about being wrong, and it's not about what paths we take. The comedy lies in the fact that what we do doesn't matter, and what we could have done doesn't matter as well, we're still gonna end up being goners, and the irony is that we are intelligent enough (as a species) to know that, so we manifest our terror in a collective hysteria that is depicted in the song. The thing about hysteria is: you can't really tell where it will take you next, as you can't control yourself anymore, so things might get even funnier than this in the future, to the delight of the nihilist who made a purpose out of watching how miserable we can get.
Safe to say this will be the most beautiful thing I'll hear all day. Wow. FJM your third album is going to be stacked. Seems like you continue to out-do yourself. Also, a funny story from your show at Massy Hall in Toronto last year: There was a girl in the crowd pretending to be overly involved with her cell in hopes you'd take her phone - you did. I'm not sure if you knew she was being disingenuous or not, since you never ended up taking any pics. I looked over and told her you must be on to her at which point she forced herself onstage and succeeded in taking a selfie, which annoyed me. The irony here is that when she got back down in the pit to check how the pic came out it had failed, she had missed the shot! Her face was priceless and this whole mess was just amazing, poetic in a way.
I was at this concert as well and noticed that girl toying with her phone all the way from up in the balcony. I was so annoyed with how obvious she was I seriously could barely even watch FJM.
I hate to say it, but this is the "Imagine" of our times, by completely rejecting the utopia proposed by Lenon, and suggesting that we try to achieve a more realistic existence of tolerance.
I think if John was alive today he’d agree with the sentiment of this song. However imagine is a much more optimistic songbook what could be. This song is a vicious attack on how things are.
Which is quite ironic considering Bosch's painting being a call to reject hedonism and pursue a more pious lifestyle, and this song is a rejection of piety and religion.
Philosophiezerstörer Kant (Please excuse this incoming rant) ... To add to your point, Bosch was a product of his time, not today’s post-religious institution of neo-enlightenment. (At least the educated ones that make up society) In his Dark Age of illness and death, the promise of God’s light at the end of our suffering, was good enough back then (and still to many today) to convince people pilgrimage from their hedonist lives to a more pious servitude to the moral right. Yet we must remember that Civilization started in the noble pursuit of progress and pushing things forward. We either get busy living (being open minded, ethical and progressive) or get busy dying (irresponsibly using the limited supply of food, water and energy resources and the rising demand due to the cultural or religious incentives to reproduce our species). In the grand scale of organic life in time, we live in a phenomenal age, relatively speaking. It’s an experiment and challenge versus being just a bunch of rocks and dust floating in the quiet of space for many millennia. This age we live in is civilization. At the start, our ancestors that created this civilization got sick of being hunted and starving so they grouped together and made things better, for easy living, in a pursuit of happiness. Because it’s in our biological instincts to reserve our energy and resources. And thus the resources we mine and harvest that give us commodity bargained as commerce become the pinch-points of our games of power and control... and thus they morph and mutate to become ‘part of our culture’ (political correctness and jingoism). And because of our neurological predisposition without principle, we have incentive to not share when we don’t have to. So the turning point in this game-of-power happened when certain sects of people realized they could take advantage of others and get away with it. Oh, and they went all-out to the point they could torture and kill children and get away with it, while refusing to even make the cover-up believable. Because some of the dumb ones believe their lies and turn their “hearts off” when they allow children to endure such hardships and suffering. The sociopaths in power are training the innocent to be fellow heartless sociopaths, foot soldiers for their “duty” or “culture war.” They think we’re stupid and treat us that way. (“Because what are you gonna do about it?”) They are like crony mobsters in suits. They get to keep their resources with an excuse to the people that there’s a bigger purpose for all involved. But only as long as you’re “on the right side”. Don’t matter if they call it God, the tithings, Nationalism, Honor, Loyalty, The Corporation, The Culture, Materialism worship, Social Status chasing, etc... Pick your poison. Or you’ll get accused of treason, intolerance or worse... be the scapegoat in a society of intolerant and insecure fools who are traitors to their own well-being. Hypocritical outrage. The cronies are pitting us against each other. They some success when they did it Black American lives in response to the Civil Rights Movement... and then again in this decade. But instead of “black-on-black” crimes it’s become human-on-human injustices. They want us all to fight each other like it’s the damn Hunger Games as they watch in comfort. These cronies take from the have-nots and make over-pious excuses why they don’t give back. Because they built a systemic prison of beliefs to brainwash the minds of children and people who are lost and vulnerable, so they have no option to just obey... “It’s what God wants”, “what your Government needs”, “it’s company policy”, “the cultural norms” of being politically correct and tolerant of even crimes against others or themselves, even innocent children. These people in this world, for a long time have always wanted more of us than them so that they can have us do the jobs for them and they reap the benefits. Yet it’s high time we make them reap what they sow and pay back their dues, rightfully so. But violence breeds more violence, so let’s tread carefully but with defiant conviction. Our Aim is True. It seems best to go about this through justice and the hard work from the ground up and feet on the ground. If you are already living a “good life”, then keep doing it without feelings of guilt and just keep giving back when you can afford to. So that’s where the optimist in me would view this Pure Comedy of a chaotic mess. We’ve been hairless apes that created an irresponsible and unethical mess on this beautiful and unique planet that’s just getting shit on, worse every year. Because it’s in our biology to put our emotions and our ego ahead of other people’s, or even entire nations of people. The nihilist cynic would view us like rapidly reproducing bacteria with brains and two legs. We’ve been divided by their lies and we stay divided by their lies. Society isn’t any worse than it probably was in Bosch’s time when he creatively imagined Hell on Earth during the Dark Ages. It’s bad now but let’s not make it any worse, let’s keep working to push things forward. Open minds, inspire, lead the way, “don’t do onto others what you wouldn’t want done onto you.” The fact that we are merely hairless apes, Homo sapiens, and have created the love and art and engineering that we have so far, from cave walls all the way to Mars, should be inspiring to all. We’re not just mere human beings, we are human and that’s the phenomenon we can take modest pride in. Humility and empathy got us through the wars and it will again. Prove yourself! We are all growing up together in this shit. And the nonsensical brutality of nature and the absurd brutality of man can be overcome. The optimist wants to believe that, that we can overcome because we always have, up until the moment of crisis. But this is a right shitter of a situation we find ourselves in, so let’s congregate and gameplan and not get stuck in a vicious cycle of pointing the finger. Be part of the solution, not the problem. So let’s stay together and push through the selfish psychopaths that keep us from progressing. I don’t hate to say this but each other is all we got. And that’ll be enough.
Whenever I make a comment on something, I always have a sense that, of the hundreds or thousands of people that looked at, read, or viewed the same content I just did, most of them never say a word. They could be apathetic, or uninformed. I think that's what people who do comment like to imagine, but they could really be the wiser, more thoughtful, sane people just sitting there wondering why anyone would write anything. This song is more or less what I imagine they are thinking most of the time.
+RockMe AllDeus to you, maybe. I found it amazing. Production is amazing as always and the lyrics are so impressive that I'm actually basing my exam thesis off of it.
Unfortunately this is easily the best song, meaning it doesn’t really get any better than this, but that’s not saying much and most of the songs are pretty good

I'm sure someone else has left the comment here or on a wiki or something, but I absolutely love how this song is literally a literary comedy. I could go on about this song forever, but that's one of my favorite things.
Did anybody else burst into damn tears after watching this? This song perfectly encapsulates how fucked up these past five or so years have been, and it really got to me. Great song.
@@googlespies7347 this sounds like some enlightened centrist bullshit.. 'muh both sides bad' lmao except that one side wants equity and justice and the other wants minorities dead. sure, it's totally the same.
Just read the review in the UK Times newspaper of Father John Misty's concert in London on Monday evening. 5* review so I thought I had better find out more. And what a voyage of discovery. Will be in the queue for the album when released.
I feel that this is more than simply a politically-motivated song... Something that encapsulates the truth of humanity so completely and beautifully is particularly striking amidst the encouraged chaos of single-mindedness and the hypotonic clutter of anesthetics that the world can sometimes seem to be overrun with. I needed to hear (and see) this.
I cannot stop to listen to this song! I love it! I just found out about the singer yesterday on a presentation of one of my classes. Now he has become my fav singer. Love it!!!!! So true!!!
Revisiting this after 8 months of Covid. I'm watching the craziness erupting in the U.S right now from across the border and this was the first thing that came to my mind...Father John Misty in all of his wisdom.

"mr breast give me money"
that was the realest song I've ever heard.
i still come back to this masterpiece a lot. everything about it is brilliant.
i saw this while peaking on acid and cried uncontrollably
It's a comforting song for me since having a similar experience to it.
Holy shit that sounds like an insane experience lol. Seriously are you ok man sometimes stuff like that can cause trauma.
holy fuck that sound terrifying. I hope you got out okay!
is it weird I was thinking about doing acid while watching this? my first time watching this rn and it seems good for a trip.
Go cry more, bidensoiboii
Whenever I make a comment on something, I always have a sense that, of the hundreds or thousands of people that looked at, read, or viewed the same content I just did, most of them never say a word. They could be apathetic, or uninformed. I think that's what people who do comment like to imagine, but they could really be the wiser, more thoughtful, sane people just sitting there wondering why anyone would write anything. This song is more or less what I imagine they are thinking most of the time.
man if the new album sounds like this i'm sold!
+RockMe AllDeus to you, maybe. I found it amazing. Production is amazing as always and the lyrics are so impressive that I'm actually basing my exam thesis off of it.
RockME AllDeus yeah it's not something you'd listen to just casually
Unfortunately this is easily the best song, meaning it doesn’t really get any better than this, but that’s not saying much and most of the songs are pretty good
@@shady8045 the first 4 songs are amazing. Ballad of the dying man, would've been helpful to know before the revolution, total entertainment forever are all just as good and well written as this one
May all mommies and daddies throughout the world, LOVE THEIR CHILDREN FEARLESSLY.
All day ... everyday.
One of the greatest songs of the last 10 years. A masterpiece!
hello evanthony vincentano
I don't even know what to say. I needed this.
My sister just had a baby today and all I could think was 'the comedy of man starts...like this. Our brains are way too big for our mothers hips...'
auntie is just a little more jaded than mommy dearest
thankyou fathers misty john
Kurt Vonnegut would dig this
He’d love it!
This is the most transcendent thing I've seen in an indefinable amount of time.
We are on the precipice of a revolutionary period of human history.
I'm shivering. I love this so much. I hope I can see Father John Misty performing one day again, the concert in Copenhagen was the most amazing concert I've ever been to.
I'm going to Copenhagen this weekend! Anywhere I should Check out?
dannyfingersmusic I would say Christiania
Was there too, can confirm.

I WAS LITERALLY SHAKING.
Literally the realest song I've ever heard!
I've got chills every time listening it. Oh, what a song!
One of the greatest songs of all time.
I can’t believe this was 4 years ago. This is by far my favorite singer/songwriter album.
I love this song
The way Fantano described this song is spot on. It's 2017 in a nutshell.
@@8Servo8 Thoughtful and a real eye-opener. Great song.
Every year in a nutshell. It is only going to get worse
2020
Luckily humans got their shit together and we have a utopia was worried there for a second
I'm sure someone else has left the comment here or on a wiki or something, but I absolutely love how this song is literally a literary comedy. I could go on about this song forever, but that's one of my favorite things.
can't stop watching this. love you
+1
last words' song give me chills every single time I listen to them
It is art like this that reminds me we still have a chance.
Golden Universal Truth.
I never thought this song would get more relevant and here we are
I always come back to this video. So moving.
Did anybody else burst into damn tears after watching this? This song perfectly encapsulates how fucked up these past five or so years have been, and it really got to me. Great song.
Listen to the album bruh
steven universe x father john misty fans rise up
I felt that way.
My condolences to “e”
I go live
This song is perfect for today
"And how's this for irony/Their idea of being free/Is a prison of beliefs/That they never, ever, have to leave."
Ohhhhhhhh Comedy!
Ohhh it's like something that a madman would conceive!!!
My favorite part of the song 🔥🔥
Repubs in a nutshell.
Irony of human nature. No matter what side you're on, you're still in your own prison of belief. MY SIDE IS RIGHT! YOURS IS WRONG!
have a good day
@@googlespies7347 this sounds like some enlightened centrist bullshit.. 'muh both sides bad' lmao except that one side wants equity and justice and the other wants minorities dead. sure, it's totally the same.
@@ItsDigiUtime take that shit to a Joe Rogan comment section or something.
too beautiful
A rare fantano appears
Number 1
Album of the year luhmao
In near furure Fantano becomes a nazi symbol.
best teeth in the game
Vinny H. What makes him a hack? I’m just curious about your disdain for the melon
Thank you!!!!!!!!!
FJM's music is always so poignant. Paired with watching the video I can't help but be brought to tears by it.
Beautiful, truthful, heavy, chilling.
this is my favourite song ever written
This entire album is timeless.
What a poet! Captured the times very well indeed. Sadly....
It’s 7 years old
Absolutely powerful. Thank you.
Song of the decade
Heavy truths abound here
it just takes a certain level of intelligents to vibe to father john misty
jnvrmind789 Yea, a very low level.
BRAVO, Father John Misty. BRAVO.
This is the greatest song I've ever heard. Been my top song nonstop since I first heard it. Hats off to you Josh.
Probably my favourite song of the last ten years.
I just cried 😭 what a beautiful tragic lyrical song poem
He is the Elton John on the doom ages
Album of the year.... it's brilliant... no other words are necessary.
Best satirical lyricist of modern times.
Why does this song make me cry every time I hear it
This would be a cultural icon of our age in the coming years.
Just read the review in the UK Times newspaper of Father John Misty's concert in London on Monday evening. 5* review so I thought I had better find out more. And what a voyage of discovery. Will be in the queue for the album when released.
I feel that this is more than simply a politically-motivated song...
Something that encapsulates the truth of humanity so completely and beautifully is particularly striking amidst the encouraged chaos of single-mindedness and the hypotonic clutter of anesthetics that the world can sometimes seem to be overrun with. I needed to hear (and see) this.
Speechless
only Father can save us.
Wonderful..............
These lyrics get more real with time.
Thank you Father John! This just brightened a sad day!!
bands still write verses like this ... salute :-)
TE AMO
VEM PRO BRASIL DIABO
ESTAMOS ESPERANDO DE CALÇAS ARRIADAS
Alô Lollapalooza, seus imprestáveis, tragam FJM
Guilherme Mendes lollapaloza não, bicho, casinha de show tá bom
Que seja.
Atenção Cine Joia, a chance tá aí
Excellent song, he is SO on from, just wonderful..
As good as anything the 60s or 70s ever produced. A masterpiece.
I cannot stop to listen to this song! I love it! I just found out about the singer yesterday on a presentation of one of my classes. Now he has become my fav singer. Love it!!!!! So true!!!
I was so hyped for Fleet Foxes new album but I'm not sure what I'm hyped more about now
Seriously? Fleet Foxes. It won't be tired and chock full of cliche irony :D
HAHAH RT
Multi-Hype, pal. 2017 is gonna be fuckin' LIT.
+David Medley lol
lol can we please stop the 2016 was bad meme? Take a moment to look at all the good and not just the fucking celebrity deaths.
Father john misty gets me through life
Help us, Father.
Awesome all the best
Honestly I think this may well be the greatest album of the 21st Century
Revisiting this after 8 months of Covid. I'm watching the craziness erupting in the U.S right now from across the border and this was the first thing that came to my mind...Father John Misty in all of his wisdom.
That is so good. Probably the best song that will come out of 2017.
