George Harrison with Death of Ladies Man of Leonard Cohen vibes!! this is my fav album of the year 🙏🏻🩵

"She put on Astral Weeks". She got my attention.

Ended Kendrick 🔥

Existential despair captured in poetry like only father john misty can. Beautiful

Totally Serge Gainsbourg plagiarism

Think I'll play this when the nuclear war starts

Great song. I’m curious. How do people interpret the Father John persona? He often references drink,drugs, struggles and weird situations. Is it a Hunter Thompson skin for the modern age?

Im tried of these archonic forces grandpa

In the panopticon They never turn the cameras on The guards and the narcs went home They do a fine enough job on their own Your true self, oh they'd love if you could find it Makes you much less hard work to predict One of these labels bound to fit Oh identity your milk white shadow Just tries something that you wouldn't do And it's always one step ahead of you Mental health, mental health No one knows you like yourself You two should speak in the presеnce of a licensee This hallucination The Cathеdral in the prison Where the dreams of the citizens Can only tell you what is wrong with them Forgetting the engine of civilisation Coffee and a cigarette, found no better means of revolt yet Mental health, mental health Maybe we're all far too well Mental health, mental health A less pathetic cry for help Mental health, mental health There's no higher virtue held in this crazy world It's more than a little bit absurd Oh, insanity babe it's indispensable For the true endeavour of your soul To find the edge and baby go, go, go Oh, magic child, run, baby run, baby, run, baby run The one regret that's really pretty tough Is knowing I didn't go nearly far enough Oh, magic child this dream we're born inside Feels awful real sometimes but its all in your mind

Amen, father.

I love it very much like Jackson Browne meets George Harrison it gives you goosebumps. 💥🔥👌🧡

Lotus flower mv if it was made in 1991

Always enjoy his music but I never connect with the lyrics.

Incredible song. Masterful social commentary.

My therapist

Summers gone but time marches on. What a gorgeous song. Thank you Mr. Tillman

EggsTyrone we did it baby

I was just reading about Putin, Ukraine, North Korea bla bla, history repeating etc…then this lovely song pops up, thank goodness.

Lyrics: What becomes of the longing Once your love's been spent And the world becomes a stranger But maybe not all that strange yet What do you tell the madman Who want's to see you dead When against your will, comes wisdom And 40 more years left ahead Wish it all away, the heat of the day Until summer's gone, until summer's gone I drive around the city, the place I knew is gone There's no fun left to fear but to Georgie it's still Babylon The girls look good in riches, finer still in rags Neon ships stretch across me, a lecherous old windbag Wish for skies of grey in the heat of the day Until summer's gone, until summer's gone Until summer's gone, until summer's gone But you eat a peach or you skin your knee And time can't touch me

💔🚬

It's got a little Serge Gainsbourg vibe to it..... Fantastic song!

Big Phil Spector / All Things Must Pass energy on this production

so so so squeezable

This is the best song he's written since Pure Comedy

00:56 Good stuff, keep it up

I remember seeing him do this song at the Theatre here in New York I think maybe a year ago. I am really glad to see it have the light of day on record, it grabbed me at the moment I heard at that concert. Classic J Tillman!

You know I’m something of an accidental doser myself?

My favorite of these newer releases. What is yours?

<3 best album yet

What an incredible opener!!!

To accept the inevitability of death is to accept the beauty of life.

The fact that Josh could go from fear fun to raising a family is pretty powerful. Love this guy

How does this guy always make existential dread so beautiful.

I can't dance, I can't talk, the only thing about me is the way I walk

Who says you can't have more than one imperial phase?
