But I look at you As our second drinks arrive The piano player's playing "This Must Be The Place" And it's a miracle to be alive There is something about that verse that devastates me
The message this song delivers is so powerfully beautiful, especially considering the context of its placement at the end of this album. Despite all the things that are wrong in this world, we can still find ourselves in moments where nothing can be more perfect than the lives we have. There's nothing to fear
In this entire album of existential dread and woe about the human condition and it ends on such a high and beautiful note. A comedy is essentially defined in ancient Greek theater as a play which has a happy ending, no matter what they go through in the plot. Just like this album. Has there ever been a better musical example of "They had us in the first half, not gonna lie"
listened without distractions to this today, and memories of my mother who died painfully at the age of 41 flooded my memory, and I crumbled to the floor in tears! THIS is why I absolutely love this Man's music.
how many of you are here because of FJM's majestic songwriting and Herculean musical talents? Thanks Josh, I cant express in how many a myriad of ways universally your music touches me, so personally. love & Mercy
Timeless. I can hear bits of everything - that's not to diminish anything he's doing. Frankly he does everything better than the apparent influences. Best production I've heard in ages. Voice has great texture. Lyrics you want to think about. Brilliant sense of humour....

I feel most folks find FJM pretentious. Yet the thing is, as an FJM fan, I have also seen it. When I first listened to I Love You, Honeybear, it took me about five listens to understand Josh. If I were to pick a song which clearly represents Tilman to me, I think it's got to be one of his earlier songs as FJM. For example 'Hollywood Cemetary Sings' or 'I'm Writing A Novel' do not in any form show elements of a pretentious musician. I cannot understand how this guy is just dismissed as pretentious in every remark I see. In interviews, Josh comes off as quite a loose person, who isn't quite as 'on the ball' or literate as most people would think after listening to 'Pure Comedy', but that's just the truth, he isn't. This bloke is consistent in what he does, and the songs are excellently crafted, but I think Pure Comedy did leave a lot people in the dark, and that's baffling to me. It's clear to me he's got something to say. Whether it be to people's tastes, at least he's doing something. Like in Leaving LA, 'Nonetheless, I've been practicing my whole life Washing dishes, playing drums, and getting by Until I figured, if I''m here in the spotlight I may as well conceal my lack of skill here in the spotlight Is being self-aware really that bad?
I agree with you 100 percent. I've had people say "he sounds like a douche," "it sounds like he's just blaming other people for the worlds problems," "Why is he sexualizing women so much" 1. He is not a douche 2. He is VERY pointed about flaws in our behavior and society, but he literally ALWAYS acknowledges that this is just an inherent flaw in the complexity of conciousness. 3. Every. Fucking. Song. about. women. Is. just. about. his. wife. Why are people so quick to ignore this mans work as pretentious, he is a fucking genius compared to people like neil young and bob dylan. Their lyrics seem arbitrary and just... not substantial compared to these songs. [in my opinion]
Super late to the party here, but as someone who found him pretentious at first, some of the first songs in the album seem to have him blaming other people for society's problems, but as I listened to more, I realized that's he's also really self-aware which transformed the album for me.
Lol. He's definitely pretentious and I fucking love his music and I if you listen closely to his music you should know damn well that he acknowledges this. The Ballad of the Dying Man is just FJM making fun of himself when he's dying for 5 minutes straight.
Yeah you're right critics do love it, but I feel like a lot of people on places such as reddit have been really disillusioned with FJM, calling him pretentious and having an overly simplified world view, I just don't understand why there's such a backlash like that
I like Leaving LA too! I was just saying I can understand how someone could perhaps find it dull or uninteresting, I personally don't think its either of those things but yeah

Listening to this for the first time since the UN climate report was released predicting we have maybe 20 years left before the world becomes basically uninhabitable for civilization as we know it, and it just makes this song seem that much more devastating.

Exactly what I wanted to say

jakicker25 agree. 👎

Has there ever been a better musical example of "They had us in the first half, not gonna lie"
This one does something only a few songs can do to me.
It gives me hope.
Well this feels relevant now... I mean, it did when it came out in 2017, but now especially.
Seems like the timeline has been sped up a bit though

Well said man. Its true his music speaks to the soul like no other imo
can't stop listening to this beautiful guy.......
I want this played at my funeral
One of the best closers in the last ten years.
one of the best songs I've ever heard

masterpiece
The composition... wowowow
I love the bell at the end of the song .... were all my meditators at?
John Wayne cookies now here
Very psychedelic, peaceful and magical.
this album really was incredible

Like in Leaving LA,
'Nonetheless, I've been practicing my whole life
Washing dishes, playing drums, and getting by
Until I figured, if I''m here in the spotlight I may as well conceal my lack of skill here in the spotlight
Is being self-aware really that bad?

@@armanamini1450 no lol
Listening to a song like this when the end credits of humanity feel like they're about to roll.
3:51 i live for this part ❤️
Feels super fucked up for me to miss the time when this album had just dropped
♡
13 more years.
I love you regardless of things
Why do people hate this album again? Apart from Leaving LA I genuinely don't see why its getting so much hate
JoshuaKaluba It's been getting mostly good reviews and most people love it.
Yeah you're right critics do love it, but I feel like a lot of people on places such as reddit have been really disillusioned with FJM, calling him pretentious and having an overly simplified world view, I just don't understand why there's such a backlash like that
***** I think that has a lot to do with the political theme of the album you know what I mean?
JoshuaKaluba Some people have been calling him that for the last few years so it's not specific to Pure Comedy.
I thought Leaving LA was a great song.
I like Leaving LA too! I was just saying I can understand how someone could perhaps find it dull or uninteresting, I personally don't think its either of those things but yeah
Just for me subtitles thanks for
😢❤
❤️❤️❤️
anyone knows whos the drummer in this track? he does a great job!
Carlos Lopez I imagine Josh did it himself seen as though he drummed for Fleet Foxes
1:30 reminds me of Pearl Jam's Low Light

@@michaelmartin8740Climate Change denier? So you're smarter than 99 percent of climate scientists?
Reminds me of Ray Lamontagne's Ouroboros album!
alguien aqui que se sepa los acordes de esta cancion?
Reminds of Neil Young's Country Girl.
This song is _very_ reminiscent of Billy Ray Cyrus's 'Should I Stay'.
