WTF is this? I'm driving home. My phone is dead so the radio is tuned to NPR. It's a local Friday night program that plays eclectic music. That's when this absolute banger of a song comes on and then just keeps going. I love this. Comment section seems to know all about this guy, so gimme the crash course. What songs/albums do I need to know?
My kid played this for me a few weeks back and I had to smile. His last album was a Glen Campbell throwback and now he's moved on the the 1980's sound of the pop and rock icons who got left in the dust and then moved into this disco country sound. Tom Jones, Jerry Lee Lewis, and even Gordon Lightfoot went this way. 40 plus years later the father is dipping his toe into a familiar pool, but the kids...the kids never heard that stuff. Everything old is new again....except for me...I'm just old.
@@sebfrett1005 I like Death of a Ladies' Man - it's Cohen vis-a-vis Phil Spector's crazy ass with a touch of disco. Iodine has real pathos, and Fingerprints is upbeat, country fun. Give it a chance!
I'm 68 years old and heard this song for the first time on WXPN while driving from NH to ME. What a fantastic song....great funky music, incredible lyrics. I'm a fan!
The chorus reminds me of "Just Dropped in (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) by Kenny Rogers, that appears in the soundtrack of The Big Lebowsky.
I heard this song on Jefferson Public Radio a few weeks ago, and I can't get enough of it. How it sounds so funky *and* folksy at the same time is just perfection!
I just heard this on the radio not more than an hour ago and was knocked out...such a catchy chorus and a somewhat hypnotic melody...brilliant song! A New Fave!
I feel it man, the great irony, the tragic humor of the whole human game. The endless change, the dissolution of all golden calves, the hypnotic dream world of Man's desires. God always has a new lesson for the dreamer. Do we ever wake up fully? Will God ever show us the plan? Again and again, we are humbled to our knees, bowing down to his mercy, to our ever breaking heart. We are nothing more than infinitesimal grains of sand, which contain infinity. Perhaps every pain is a stepping stone to liberation, and the best thing to fill our bellows of emptiness is laughter.
@@Mickcosmometry Brother man, if you were finished that quickly you need to add more cheese or maybe some frozen dinners into your diet. Back that truck up son. Take your god damned good and sweet time. No boss, no *man* can stand against the forces of nature.
Nobody can croon on a disco beat like @FatherJohnMisty! Y'all can talk about Dylan, but I'm getting flavors of Quincy Jones and The Brothers Johnson. And, the poetry here is the great-ish of our generation. Rock on, my brother \m/
@FatherJohnMisty Your great-ish song ever! I saw you at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley back in the "Pure Comedy" days and I can't wait to check you out in Bozeman, MT this year. Stay strange, my friend, all my love, and ROCK ON \m/
heard this on the radio last night while sobbing from a really hard day trying to get through hours of dallas traffic and it stuck in my brain and calmed me down so thank you father john misty
Man, the Pure Comedy CD is stuck in my old Honda. We tried to sell the car... but luckily the guy didn't want to buy it. I just gotta remember how to enter the car radio's code, so I can retrieve that CD...
Some others say they are getting a Dylan vibe from this song but for me it evoked John Lennon in 1980. Maybe it's the horn section but anyway, I feel John here.
This sounds like something Leonard Cohen would write. Not necessarily like his work, but rather what he'd be writing if he were alive and in his prime in ole anno domini 2024.
Love the return to a higher tempo--not quite the honkytonk of "Fear Fun" that I've always had my fingers crossed for, but I'll take it! The subtle autotune is kinda weird, but nothing to cry about. He sounds great. Massive production. Best Bond theme of 2024 confirmed.

was listening to some Gord this morning.
I don’t think this sounds like those artists but more like JJ Cale.
Loved this comment, have a good one, man.
I hear some Rod Stewart in there as well.
Don’t hear any 80s in this 🤷♂️. 70s sure.
Wake up babe, new 8-min Father John Misty Disco anthem just dropped.
If babe didn’t wake up for that then I’m available
Psych disco. Am I in love?
I hope he pushes the psychedelic angle in this next release.
@@ChefBarry she woke up but it means the world you’d be there for me
Kinda blues disco. I dig it.
Like Clint Eastwood roller skating off into the sunset...
This should be the credit roll song for the Series Finale of earth.
I like it. Who do we see about this?
This guy is too clever for his own good..and I love him for it.
”I followed my dreams and my dreams said crawl” + sax solo, just hit different
What a time to be awake. 4:27am. Rewarding the burning of the midnight oil.
Bit of sage for the mix and blend... let's make things interesting.. what a quality tune
@@GForce-m8w I like that suggestion. I"m going to give it a try. Cheers friend.
"They came for a beating, he came to brawl." goes so hard
A solid 70s Leonard Cohen / Death of a Ladies' Man vibe. I dig.
That's what I was thinking too. Just like a Cohen song
Absolutely thinking same love this
The instrumentation and chord changes remind me of Don’t go home with your hard on for sure
Yeah for sure ..and not even the good Cohen either

This was the bongo solo I needed today
Some of the best lyrics EVER! A story teller dream jam, and that conga break! This right here is what's missing these days, REAL MUSIC. Luv it!
This is unstoppably good he has begun to transcend what we could imagine!!!!
Whoever did the production deserves a raise and a monument.
it's tame impala
Georgio Moroder?
Gorillaz?
Two of my faves together? Funny that x
@@murrtownchillen lol but really it is jonathan wilson
This song is wonderful!! I've been listening to it on repeat for two days now!
The Stevie Wonder vide keys near the end makes my body move involuntarily...❤
This is musical brilliance. 🔥
10 out of 10. It's a good beat and you can dance to it!
Practically a disco beat. Or almost as much as The Wall pt 2 is
I will be playing this track 10 years from now.
See you here!!! I’ll get the beers 🎉
Sick finally getting back to the fjm we fell in love with.
he never left
@DorisDay-lw4xs nah it wasnt
The chorus reminds me of "Just Dropped in (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) by Kenny Rogers, that appears in the soundtrack of The Big Lebowsky.
Thank you!! That's what it was! Been racking my brain over that one.
K.R. ...... & The First Edition 😎
Song of the year
Rise ye Mistonians... he has returned to shepard us into a new age.
And time really does nake fools of us all... the learning curve of the experience is priceless. So smart lyrically ...true poetry really
I heard this song on Jefferson Public Radio a few weeks ago, and I can't get enough of it. How it sounds so funky *and* folksy at the same time is just perfection!
Fabulous song. I never want this to end....
Seriously channeling JJ Cale! So great to hear that inspiration.
Hear hear
Just wow, best music since Pure Comedy.....Misty does disco! Love it 🙂
Reminds me somehow of the late great Leonard Cohen. Like 4 songs in one. Such an adventure.
I just heard this on the radio not more than an hour ago and was knocked out...such a catchy chorus and a somewhat hypnotic melody...brilliant song! A New Fave!
The spirit of Leonard abides
First we take Manhattan...
@@Absoluteabyssalfluidcharger and then we drink their gin...
That sax solo is giving Bojack theme song. Love it
Damn i was only thinking that on the car ride home 😮
Everytime that I hear this song that same thought comes to me
Captain Beefheart meets Ian Dury & The Blockheads , fuc*ing brilliant.
It’s got that JJ Cale vibe. Nice.
in case anyone else was wondering: album’s cover art is by Tragic Sunshine aka Kevin Tong
t.y.
JJ CALE would be proud of you John cheers from Greece, stay cool vibes man!.😮
This is awesome. Just heard it on the radio. Had to hear it again
Same here!
easily the best part of my day was listening to this
This quality of sound is once and a blue moon...definitely
I think that's going to be a copy for me too. But that's one good thing (pma).
PURE sympathy for all these studio musicians
I live in NYC, but tuned into KCRW and just heard this song playing for the first time. Love it.
I just heard this on fuv 90.7
I heard it on WFUV! 🤗✨
I just heard it on KGNU out of Boulder, Colorado!
I heard on some local 90.? channel on a westward night run as the sun came up and I was cruising the salt flats in Utah.. Twas magical
This should've been on an album. It's a hell of a jam
I hit the piano within 10 seconds of play. This is a brilliant piece of music. Love it
One of these days, that piano's gonna hit you back
Love this tune❤. Heard it on jo Whiley show and had to get it up on you tube. Love the story teller feeling just pouring from his voice❤❤
The best song he’s done in a long time

I would say thank you but you took up all my allotted time I could waste sitting on the toilet reading this, so I guess we're even.

Brother
I'm choosing to believe a specific part of this comment was inspired by Finding Nemo
His best song in years!
Can’t wait until this goes through about 7 months of touring and him and the boys go nuts on a live rendition
Wow... great song, great music, great beat. Love it....
Heard it tonight first time thanks "Jo Whiley", Superb .
Same
Just heard now on Jo Whiley. Superb as you say

I’m getting big Bob Dylan ‘Things Have Changed’ vibes off this
Absolutely!!!!!
As well as a JJ Cale vibe, imo.
Both on the level of incomparison... intellectual souls
Was trying to find this comment!
Very much so!
@FatherJohnMisty Your great-ish song ever! I saw you at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley back in the "Pure Comedy" days and I can't wait to check you out in Bozeman, MT this year. Stay strange, my friend, all my love, and ROCK ON \m/
Love this...got a JJ Cale lilt goin' on
wow...the track runs in a continuous loop. What a brilliant arrangement. thx
The music, the lyrics, the auto tune you almost can’t hear on a greatest hits album that really shouldn’t be a thing is one of his biggest funnies yet
Love this
Well enjoyed 8 min of "I guess time makes fools of us all" don't regret it at all. Awesomeness of a funky rhythm.
Thanks For this gift, i love you
U got the best vibe.. appreciation goes a long way. What a blessing this sound is ❤
Great song, sometimes we make fools of ourselves because of wrong decisions
Shades of “Things Have Changed” by Dylan
Yes! Very Dylanesque! With a touch of Bojack Horseman.
@DorisDay-lw4xs huehheuheheheh Dylan sounds bad m i rite
Production, the musians. Lyrics. So good. Instant classic
I'm loving the sound and visuals. Vocals and lyrics on point as always. Amazing!
Gets better with each listen father killing it
..as i move thru my 50years Im goin deeper into 70 Country rock and FJM is alive when tothers arent ... UK gigs required!
heard this on the radio last night while sobbing from a really hard day trying to get through hours of dallas traffic and it stuck in my brain and calmed me down so thank you father john misty
'The greatish minds of my generation'
Oh Goody! Like the disco-western flair ya got going with this. ❤
Instantly epic from the first time I heard it!
NAH BECAUSE BRO JUST RELEASED THE BEST SONG ON HIS CAREER
literally the BEST song of his career
Oh hells yells! Josh returning with the fucking FUNK! Thanks for your continued greatness!
Father provides 🙏🏼
I guess it's a good thing my no spend year will end after all.
Love this tune!
Groovy as a ruffle, my dude
Love this cover art. 🍄
Worst compliment ever. As Beyonce is to country.
Oh hell yeah to all of this.
Man, the Pure Comedy CD is stuck in my old Honda. We tried to sell the car... but luckily the guy didn't want to buy it. I just gotta remember how to enter the car radio's code, so I can retrieve that CD...
Funky! Much more the live version. Sounds the opening credits song to a movie
Some others say they are getting a Dylan vibe from this song but for me it evoked John Lennon in 1980. Maybe it's the horn section but anyway, I feel John here.
Class 👌
I heard this on SiriusXMU and was impressed because it wouldn’t end and I kind of liked it.
Lovely ❤❤
Excellent track. Keep putting in the work. We'll keep listening.
This man doesn't miss a beat!
I would love a new record with this music style
I love it. I wouldn't mind a 16 minute dance re-mix. Anyone know if Jonathan Wilson was involved?
Was wondering that as well, seems right in his wheelhouse
josh woke up one day and was like hmm guess i'll make a song for joker II folie a deux
I hope he is the next "one". This is song has been my new favorite.
John Misty..this track is excellent..I like 👍
Tune and image... PERFECT!
Sooo good!
i just know the music video for this is gonna be incredible
Love it. Can’t wait for a new album.
This sounds like something Leonard Cohen would write. Not necessarily like his work, but rather what he'd be writing if he were alive and in his prime in ole anno domini 2024.
that is such a loaded and awesome image; great album art!
LOVE THE NEW MISTY CANT STOP LISTENING
that's fire!!!!
Excellent. I listened to this on repeat today for about an hour. Peak Misty.
❤ what a super cool opus. Thank you FJM 😊
The guy seems to be able to do ANYTHING musically.
Love the return to a higher tempo--not quite the honkytonk of "Fear Fun" that I've always had my fingers crossed for, but I'll take it! The subtle autotune is kinda weird, but nothing to cry about. He sounds great. Massive production.
Best Bond theme of 2024 confirmed.
Autotune? You mad brah?
@@rtzqwe not at all. A pretty ubiquitous production tool. It's just an odd catch, usually it's a lot less egregious.
Definitely no autotune on this one ☝️
@@rtzqwe i mean, there is. But it's not a crime or anything, don't get upset. Very common practice for a studio recording.
The unvarnished truth 💯
The trickster, the fool, the horned amnesiac, me, all dancing 🎺🪩🕺💀
