Father John Misty - Holy Shit

[@hobozero]

I love how this song seems to be a response to the flaming lips "do you realize". It brings into focus the societal and personal failures that "realize" glosses over, but nonetheless, and weirdly, remains just as much, if not more, optimistic.

[@AtNightmareBeach]

This man is a fucking genius. Every line he writes is so well thought out and fascinating. He truly is one of the greatest musicians of our generation.

[@realityweasel8461]

“Maybe love is just an economy based on resource scarcity” might be the most nihilistic thing I’ve ever heard and I relate a little too much to be comfortable with that

[@bryanchu5379]

but what I fail to see is what that's gotta do with you and me

[@MatauReviews]

@@bryanchu5379 exactly

[@JayJay-xd5lm]

Once repeated that line absent minded ly waiting in hospital for an operation . And the visiting doctor was so taken with it , he took out his workbook and jotted it down .

[@ImogenJ48]

This song has been and will always be my favorite song.

[@MothmanBaddie]

“And no one ever really knows you, and life is brief” What a punch 2 da gut

[@CommonScents952]

And that black hole just keeps getting bigger

[@scottcallis6664]

I feel like this song was untitled until he sang it for someone for the first time.

[@brycepj1]

my man

[@dominicserrano9884]

I never thought about that, now that I think about it yes! that is probably how he titled this song

[@RT-fi3zc]

"Past is a Nightmare I'm Trying to Wake Up From" is the title of the demo. Not a bad choice, to be honest

[@taylorhoch2708]

Yes

[@AprilBytheBay]

Holy Shit! Listening this come out of Josh's mouth about 20 feet from you as he kneels down to sing into the crowd and you are right there and he looks at you for a brief moment is like everything I needed to exist for longer.

[@dominicserrano9884]

been there

[@dan050981]

I love this song so much. Tillman is a lyrical/musical genius. I was blown away by Fear Fun and was worried that he had peaked with that album but man was I wrong...I had nothing to worry about.

[@alexdesmall6916]

Daniel Robertson and had even more after this album 🙃

[@sabrinastafford6833]

That key change at 2:18 though unffff ♡

[@Holy.Spirit]

best song of the album for me

[@Holy.Spirit]

best song off the album for me ha

[@cameronbrwdway9486]

a gonz bes somg album fur me lol

[@matthewgarcia2330]

+a gonz Very good song, maybe my second favorite, with tops going to "Nothing Good Ever Happens At The Goddamn Thirsty Crow." After my tenth trip or so through the album, this song just grabs me more than any other.

[@danielcropp8553]

It is great, but can't forget "Bored In the USA"!

[@jajlertil]

I’m a huge FJM fan but the pick for his greatest song is somehow still easy. This is one of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard

[@MrLawrencecorn]

josh is so clever with this one, he had me saying the exact same thing after listening to this song i would say this and the ideal husband are the best songs on the album

[@Mushroomazone]

It’s crazy how the song builds up with all these dreadful things just about anybody can relate to and then ends with “but what’s that got to do wit you and me?” It’s like he’s saying all the things he just mentioned don’t matter because him and his lover have each other.

[@FancyTophatDude]

I think he makes it clear they still matter, since he points out the problems in the world and then cluelessly asks what that's gotta do with his personal sadness. But i think you're still right. The problems of the world do matter, but we can still find love and self-worth even in the shittiest times.

[@laincoubert7236]

it has the same energy as everything everywhere all at once and i love it

[@jillbrown7198]

A genius with lyrics!

[@18mrgonzalez]

Holy shit, this song is so good.

[@tl996]

I keep coming back to this song after all these years...so fucking intelligent

[@jaycee145]

It really is mate. All of his discography is unbelievable but this is timeless.

[@lauralalonde1705]

voice from an angel.

[@lf327]

I just realized the Jesus and Mary in the cover art is actually Emma and Josh

[@misterchristian123]

I love this song so much.

[@jackpitman15]

Is it me or do the people at Sub-pop really know where to find artists

[@rickysmith574]

It's not you, they found nirvana for gods sake

[@coleslavpiesboi]

soundgarden too!!!

[@collinmc90]

turning this up allllll the way.

[@ndebast]

simply amazing

[@Omoizin]

Oh, and love is just an institution based on human frailty What's your paradise gotta do with Adam and Eve? Maybe love is just an economy based on resource scarcity But what I fail to see is what that's gotta do with you and me

[@andyk479]

thank you

[@burlfaircloth_]

this dude is good

[@Amanda___]

I just know this song because I said "okay Google" then said "holy shit. IT GAVE ME A SONG!" And now that I heard this, it's kinda a bop

[@NBrunst]

Lol, I did the same thing.

[@anthonytanksley6470]

I googled holy "shit" just to what would pop up and this was the first thing

[@unknowndude359]

Holy fucking shit

[@kellebelle324]

Holy shit

[@alejoparedes2388]

[@Landonlacey10]

This reminds me of Dewey Cox

[@manicpixiedreamgirl-yeahit8857]

Dewey Cox is a fucken legend though, maybe Josh is one of his multiple sons.

[@rawan-jg2ux]

[@matheusaraujo4975]

I'm here because Melanie :)

[@mjkiemele5185]

Not sure if I should feel guilty or not. ohhhhh whatever.

[@FancyTophatDude]

We're not guilty for being born into all these shitty systems, but we can be held guilty if we choose to perpetuate them.

[@progrockmorelikefrogc0ck157]

​@FancyTophatDude these shifty systems are a direct reflection of what humans truly are and what we truly came from.

[@HesAbnormal]

Here because of Melanie Martinez.❤️

[@ThomasGames1]

Good but also not good
