For those who don't know, Galahad Is one of the Knights of the round table, but he is known as the perfect knight. Meaning he is more pure of heart than any other knight including King Arthur

[@marlonbrandoseyes1443]

Also he was the best fighter, taking the spot from his father, Lancelot.

Oops! Forgot to tell Mr. Arthur that his artwork is magnificent! I wish I could look at the world & see what you see, dude!

[@plathrop7737]

I have this song on one of Josh's EPs. Pretty awesome, and as usual, hyper-literate.

[@stephenamador7270]

My friend has been asking me to listen to this dude for almost a yr haha wow I wish I took his advice sooner.

[@hystoryan]

2:06-2:23 I especially like. The song focuses on the conflict within Galahad and sometimes it seems like all we are told is what NOT to do.

Who is that one person who Disliked this song? That person makes me fear for the future of the human race.

[@turanamo]

Must be a religious person.

Six people don't like lamb chops, Queen Guinevere's hand jobs, Marijuana, Kenny Rogers or ecstasy.

[@toasterofdoom9629]

"Queen Guinevere's Handjobs" was a really weird line since Sir Galahad was Queen Guinevere's son

[@dlb1621]

@@toasterofdoom9629 Your mistaken Queen Guinevere was the wife of King Arthur, and Sir Galahad was a knight of the round table with him, their ages not far apart. Sir Galahad though was in love with King Arthur's Wife Guinevere, they were in no way related.

[@toasterofdoom9629]

@@dlb1621 Yeah I was mistaken but no Gallahad was the son of Sir Lancelot so he was a fair bit younger than the rest of them, and no, he wasn't in love with guinevere, lancelot was. So still, hand jobs from your dad's lover.

[@applejuicefool69]

No ecstasy in heaven? Then what's it for?

[@Mike_Anonymous]

Sounds like something that would happen in "The Preacher".

[@longasaya]

A slight over reaction, don't you think?
