    FJM is at the very top of my concert bucket list in 2021. He was my boyfriend's favorite artist, and I quickly became a huge fan. He passed away in February, and we never got to see FJM live. 💔 This concert will be a true religious experience for me. ☀️💕☀️

    I feel like he picked up that jacket -- realized he had no idea in hell what to do with it -- then awkwardly returned it with a semi-sauve, "that's nice".

  • @placidcasual9872

    I think there is another comment here about the lines - 'thats how you live free, really see and be seen' its such an incredible line in the context of the album - such a beautiful balance of cynicism and romance - all stripped away in that moment to reveal the true essence of love and its power - put all else aside for your significant other.
    I had an incredible 18 month affair when this record came out - I was developing some seriously unhealthy habits and she had a death wish - but when we were together and shared our love the world made sense for the briefest moments - and this record soundtracked that crazy time perfectly.

    I feel like this has a crazy low number of thumbs and comments for such a great song. And a quality live performance that is as good or better than the studio recording... Forgive me Father, I am also an aimless fake drifter...

      I don't find him to be much like Nick Drake at all, unless you are speaking purely visual aesthetic in which case that's actually a pretty good description, I'm gonna assume that's what you mean lol.

      +fmjohnson019 I think it's partially intentional. I think he's very self aware of his and other people's pretensions and at least in some ways mocking them - both within his persona and his music.

      I don’t know, I just think it’s just artistic expression of feeling. I’ve never seen somebody capture a feeling better than he has. Even if it sounds weird sometimes it’s how we feel.
