![Father John Misty - Fear Fun [FULL ALBUM STREAM]](/img/n.gif)
This man is totally underrated.
Im glad about that. I was at his concert 5 years ago in my hometown, there were less than 200 ppl in a place that can hold around 1800. I know it was a flop for him , but who cares!!! Im selfish and i enjoyed my fav. Artist in a more intimate situation and i loved it.
He ain't
he aint, its just seems like that
Nah he's just kinda boring lol
Not really lol he’s wildly acclaimed
Eventually the dying man takes his final breath
But first checks his news feed to see what he's about to miss
It's naturally not eventually sipdhit
I just heard this song for the first time this morning while driving my daughter to school. One of those rare songs that's so amazing you almost drive off the road. The lyrics are wonderfully eloquent and the music brings to my mind a lot of what was great in early 70's rock.
Yes it kind of has a Elton John, Neil Young maybe along with a little classic country style songwriting, of that era vibe
You still there? Just checking :)
Pure Comedy is going to be one of the best albums of the year.
yeah it leaked a few months ago, and it definitely is. can't wait to go the store in april
it was the best of the year
"They just don't make good music anymore" - Some old dude with nostalgia goggles.
Albums this great are rare nowadays. Also do you not hear the heavy 70s influences in everything he does?
@@usedtoberon1828 I don't think you are looking hard enough
@@usedtoberon1828 You're just old. There's a billion amazing new albums that don't take ANY inspiration from the 'good times'.
Ignazio Acerenza can you tell me some of the ones you like? I want to hear new songs
@@trilossiaman837 My favourites right now are Cigarettes after sex, Alvvays, Mitski and Sufjan Stevens. The last two make me super excited about the future of music.
The first time I heard this song was about month after losing my best friend to cancer-the lyrics are so similar to something my friend would say. Naturally it hit me like a ton of bricks..and I cried like a baby.
I've been a fan of the Father ever since
Pretty convinced this album will be one of the all time greats. thank you father
Great song...gotta love Father John's humor. We laugh at this dying man who checks his newsfeed before he dies, but here we all are as listeners and fans on CZcams, being the exact dying man he describes, cynical and self-righteous, nobody else's opinion compares to our own wise, words of god. Personally, I'd rather be the Ladie's Man with the his casket tied down with a garter belt...but nah, I'm a damn dying man too by posting this comment. 😂😂
kyle vandagriff I think it's funny that he spent his life trying to prove that he was right just to realize that he was doomed to be wrong anyway on his dying breath. Makes me wonder how important my priorities are in the end
@@eaglestryker1338 fr man it really makes you think about life and shit. Pure Comedy, Ballad of the dying man, Total Entertainment Forever, and Things It Would've Been Helpful To Know Before The Revolution make you reflect and think about a lot of shit.
Some of the best songs ever.
fascist
thank you kyle. you get me.
Brilliant songwriting that hearkens another place and time. Very reminiscent of early Elton John.
Yes,captain fantastic.
Father John Misty blesses us with more music.
The last minute is too holy! I'm obsessed. BLESS.
Blessed be the Father, The John and the Holy Misty 🙌
The Triforce is complete.
Amen
My gifted son introduced me to this Artist. Love you Andrew Elijah
Likely the sweetest falsetto of our time
Dandy Andy it's good but not even close to the sweetest
Dandy Andy It's ok. It is not the sweetest.
In today's contemporary music environment, Father John Misty sustains a reminiscent vocal honey in his tone. At once he is gentle and conflicted in his delivery. Surely you can compare him to the Falsettos of the sixties or seventies with great scrutiny, but that's not what i meant. Relative to modern artists such as Vampire Weekend, Cigarettes after Sex, Ed Sheeran, or Mac DeMarco (etc. there are many great great artists on the come up), I would argue Misty has the softest and most refined falsetto.
Chris thile is best falsetto of our time. Josh is awesome though, indeed.
Andres try frank ocean bad religion
Tell me how this album won't be his greatest album yet. Because it fucking will be.
Well, you should.
no doubt, these singles are absolutely incredible
I can't say it will be....but we'll just wait and see.
No chance that it will be better than Fear Fun, or even I Love You Honeybear
I think I'll like it no matter what, but I hope the wit from 'I Love You Honeybear' is still there. I hope he isn't to 'direct' with his lyrics this time around. Nevertheless, I'm exited.
Those harmonies sure are great to hear
Thank you for creating music with something to say. If been a long time since I heard music that mattered.
Never heard of this bloke before but heard this on the radio today. Fabulous. Will be looking further now :)
This song is about a man closing all his social media accounts lmao
If u think about he foreseen Trump 's social ban and this album reflect a lot of 2020 and 2021
@@LegioneSacra F**K trump
Amen. Wish I had that self-control.
@@LegioneSacrapretty sure FJM would see trump in a noose if he had his choice
this album is gonna be great. It's just highlighting that we distract ourselves with consumption, elections, entertainment, etc. because we all know deep down that we are gonna die one day
Really dig the instrumentation on this.
Pure Comedy is pure genius! I'm still listening to THAT song with different ears and eyes, and finding nuances of the human condition revealed in every intimation of lyric and tone.
You have a Fantastic Voice!!! I just Happened upon your Site today August 1st 2023. I’m HOOKED🪝
*LYRICS*
Naturally, the dying man wonders to himself:
“Has commentary been more lucid than anybody else?”
And had he successfully 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
ooh
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
From the rented heavens to the shadows in the cave
We'll all be wrong someday
oh ...
Whoa, first time hearing this song, today. He's like the son of Elton John. Love!
Such a inspiration to me. Life goes to fast live it.
Absolutely beautiful song, probably my favorite of the new singles. Can't wait for the new album. It'll be kickass for sure! Great job, Misty.
well spoken. we leave as clueless as we came
Can't wait to hear this live
this guy makes such wonderful music. i love listening to him
It amazes me this song only has 262 comments. I've been listening to this tune for 2 days. I don't know anything about the artist but this song is dope. Thanks to 88.5 xpn in philly for sending me this way. This tune makes me happy.
wow this is beautiful. incredible. can't wait for this album
April feels so far away. I want this masterpiece in me now.
Un vrai délice! cela faisait longtemps que je n'avais pas écouté une musique qui me tient autant au coeur!!!Merci!
Father John has stolen my heart
Wow, this song, as well as the title track of this album, are absolutely incredible instrumentally and lyrically. By far his greatest album.
How did I only experience Father a while ago when he's been here over a year? Praise be John Misty!
We leave as clueless as we came
WOW!!!the music and singing in the last minute of the song is the definition of PERFECTION (though the entire song is amazing).
Damn!! Can't believe I was here 4 years before. And I still think the same about this song. And that last 1 minute makes me freeze in time. Pure perfection.
Am replying to myself again 😂. Still love this song though.
great song love father john misty, love the album art here too :D
best song of the album
am__15 1515 yes it is
This has got a similar vibe to Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Album; really enjoying this...
he really needs to write a book. that would be highly entertaining
This is such an amazing song. His voice is astounding :D
Beautiful 😢
Father Elton John Misty
You win.
This doesn't sound like a Bernie Taupin composition...at all. I guess piano=Elton John to 90's born hipsters
as word play is ok, but this sounds Harvest-era Neil Young... Which is a great fucking thing, in my book.
Except Bernie Taupin is not a "composer". But anyway that was just a silly pun. Oh and btw I'm from 1979.
Elton John? John Lennon? George Harrison? Radiohead?
& Im still here waiting for J Tillman
Tillman with another fantastic single. Looking forward to Pure Comedy!
This will be album of the year. Mark my words.
Best album of 2017 and one of the top 5 of this decade so far!😎👌❤
How did 53 people give this a thumbs down? It's *beautiful*.
beautiful, relevant, and he says the shit that no other artist would dare say.
I hope someone takes my songwriting seriously like this one day. I love this guys sound, and he makes me love what I do more and more every day... You just want to talk about the world.
Bless you
thank you
this is the best song I have ever heard
Let the This Is Us fans flock together :)
Love it
I get so LIT every time I see a new song is out!!!! This is my favorite so far!!!! OMG!!!!! Why do we have to wait until April tho!!!!
Atprick B you don’t have to end every sentence with tho, tho
That is really good and insightful song
Damn, this album is going to be stacked. Just like the first two. Looking very much forward to it, to understate it excessively, and many more years of creative success for Mr. Tillman.
Been mainlining pure comedy on repeat for days. Gold.
Very cool. All of the tracks remind me of George Harrison's album Living in the Material World. The harmonies, almost gospel feel in the piano, the spiritual nature of the lyrics. I really dig this. I see many people are call him to task about the political nature in the songs, but he is not wrong. In fact, most of the lyrics talk about people and society blindly following a leader or a belief. That can be dangerous whether your leader wears a "Make America Great" or a Pork-Pie hat. I find the lyrics challenging but not self-righteous.
I couldn't agree more!
Thank you Ryan!! :)
Get ready for a lot more of this dull topic over the next 4 years
Nathan Patrick Are people defined by what they think or what they do? Josh is getting the spread of the human experience and condensing it into his music, he's always been didactic.
Nathan Patrick, Have you ever listened to him before? He's been critiquing society since Fear Fun, and continued to on Honeybear. Examples? ("Now I'm Learning to Love the War" "Bored in the USA" "Holy Shit" "True Affection") This is not some aberration of the artist he's been before, so everyone complaining is either unfamiliar with his work or perturbed by the Trump imagery in his other video.
I heard this On Point on the way to work this morning
I finally got around to hearing your "rant".
Im sure I understand this album.
Looking forward to it.

@@messyties ah sos retroll
Absolutely love the intro. Reminds me of Figure 8 era Elliott Smith.
his man somehow captured the essence of Dylan, Lennon-McCartney, Bernie Taupin/ Elton John and baked it. sincerely, Raymond Henry McDonald, new fan.
Josh Tillman does it again kids! This guys got inspiration for years to come and then some. I saw him 2 years ago with my wife. It was mind blowing. Check out the video I took that night... He THROWS DOWN...it was an incredible show!
Amazing song!!
I like this song too
same
your picture is gay
Alain Bruno you are everywhere
This track is incredible.
Country, Beatles and Byrds influences - this is great
Lol probably still more country than most of the shit out of Nashville today
To be honest I could see this being a great outlaw country cover
Not as hip an influence, but there's more than a little James Taylor circa Sweet Baby James in FJM's stuff. Which is fine with me -- Taylor was smacked out singing stuff like Fire and Rain on the Johnny Cash show and starred in the great film Two-Lane Blacktop with Dennis Wilson and Warren Oates. Cool.
eoinh1 don't forget Elton John and Jim Croce :)
Siii lo mismo pensé :D
I knew from the first 15 seconds that this song was going to be brilliant. As always... Father John Misty fucking rules.
My first song from this artist.
Seems pretty good. I'll go watch more I guess.
Is This Rain? I suggest listening to the full album start to finish now that its out..
use some headphones, turn off the lights, lay down and close your eyes.
that's what I did and it was awesome.. I even fell asleep and had really crazy dreams.. lol after waking up I had to replay what I missed.
He does a great job of making me want to like him. But... There's nothing new under the sun...He is the greatest reminder of that truism. I don't want reminders of that in my music.
tedheshi david what do you mean by that ? im curious
beautiful
Father John blessed me when I came in his mouth.
To me this song all boils down to a modern take on Plato's allegory of the cave, referenced near the end of this song. All we can see is shadows of reality from our perspective, and yet we still persist in trying to comment and subject our opinions into positive statements about the outside world. What's it all worth?
Literally when I first heard this i thought it was an Elton John song. Love the voice.
I liked the last two singles a lot, they seemed liked they were released as a snap shot of the current state of politics. I really enjoy the change of pace this track brings and I'm so excited for the album!
Brilliant
genial
I love this hymn.
I can listen to this song on 🔂 for hours. Soundtrack of my life and my death. I want this played at my funeral.....Sorry Mark Morrison, Return of The Mack is off the table now.
Good tune
Cannot wait for this shit I can't stop thinking about it
I’m here just by my excellent taste in music!
This album is shaping up to really be something special. Not a bad song yet.
"In no time at all, this will be the distant past"
I cannot believe this song is over 6 years old already
Can’t believe it took me five years to realise this song is directly a paen against social media.
@@Garbageman28 peen?
great tune.clever guy.
great song, great text, great feel.... I wish I could remind myself the message of that song each morning I wake up. And this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_Cave too.
I really appreciate the subtle nod to the allegory of the cave.
"first check his newsfeed to see what he's about to miss" Love that line
OBSESSED
My religion is Father John Misty
save me president Jesus
Let me guess, music is the air you breathe as well
Fuck me in the ass cause I love Jesus.
Sarina Lalla Jesus isn't white or black but somewhere in between
MARVEL Rabbit What vomit that seeps from your mouth.
Really gives me early Elton John vibes...... This song deserves so much more recognition.
THis is us brought me here :3
Hello Elton ! (doesn't mean that I dont love it !!!)
Issa Gold brought me here. Where my Indigos at??
You had me at 🎹.
I LOVE YOU ANDREW ONE DAY HOPEFULLY YOU WILL REALIZE THAT. ❤💙
Better than the first two he has released off this album
Ryan O'Donnell and Two wildly different perspectives? that shit broke my heart.
For me, pure comedy is better, at least sonically, then this and then two wildly different perspectives. Haven't had the time to delve into the lyrics yet doe
