Father John Misty | Holy Shit

[@JeffreyMcMahon]

My favorite song on the album. This and "Bored in America" are masterpieces. Good luck finding lyrics half this good these days.

[@connorsarsfield3774]

+Jeffrey McMahon Bored in the USA?

[@JeffreyMcMahon]

Tie between "Bored in the USA" and "Holy Shit." The latter song has some of the most amazing lyrics I've ever seen.

[@loganwendt778]

Josh said that his next album was gonna be less of a love album, and more songs like this and Bored in the USA.

[@TheBlahf]

Half of the lyrics is just a list, like We Didn't Start the Fire... Great song but the lyrics really aren't that amazing

[@hejdingamleraev]

Actually, there are no lyrics to this song. Only noices that are quite similar to words but not quite. If you listen carefully you'll see!

[@kelis-quynhnguyen1340]

The best song of this brilliant album ☺️

[@Pleaseunderstand]

+Soda Pop Holy Shit, I think I agree.

[@eloisekidd]

If I ever get married I want to have my first dance to this song.

[@ccrr96]

I think Chateau Lobby would work better tho

[@eloisekidd]

+chaaarlieee1 nah though. cause he wrote this song on his wedding day and it's about being a cynic about marriage as an institution but how love can complicate that cynicism and I feel that.

[@Lovetotheturtles]

+Anna Kidd Ok let's get married

[@swiminbandgeek]

+Anna Kidd I'm with lovetotheturtles Lol I'm a straight male and I want to walk down the isle to this song

[@acezehnder7787]

You're going to get married on an island? Or did you mean aisle, as in between the pews in a church? I suppose you could get married in a church on an island. Then you could walk down the aisle on the isle.

[@BananaBreadinc]

His live performances are all amazing but there is nothing like a very raw and broken down one. This whole set was fantastic.

[@robpatterson8515]

These lyrics are outstanding...

[@ErrorProne]

this is the most romantic song I've ever heard

[@NicolasCurcioWriter]

wow that breakdown... beautiful.

[@ethanjohnson9091]

not a fan personally

[@JimmyChaos1985]

He moves the capo up 2 frets to change the key after the piano break so he can play the same chord shapes.

[@protodosto]

Point being

+James Pearce coool I had never noticed

[@MrSookazz]

+Zac Marshman oui

[@lawrencesaavedra758]

How most music is made these days

[@NolalanD]

I think it's easier and fuller sounding to sing over open chords, don't you?

[@elizaanderson8909]

An extremely overlooked live performer.

[@kaiouazuos7891]

I still here, listening to it!

[@Tallster3]

Damn this song is fantastic, those lyrics!!!

[@cbcmusic]

Indeed. Such a fantastic songwriter. Lyrics to Bored in the USA and the Night Josh Tillman Came to our Apartment are so good.

[@Tallster3]

CBC Music . Absolutely!! It's an album I can't stop listening to

[@cbcmusic]

Me too. Has been in the car's CD player since I got it!

[@urbansoban2669]

All in all, it could hardly be better. Also, a fabulous amplified acoustic guitar sound. Does anyone know, is this the EMG pickup?

[@andrewmiller407]

This song reminds me of one of Michael Stipe's list style songs.

[@melorafoy7109]

Check The Tragically Hip. They are the most R.E.M.-like band I've ever heard, and they are very good.

[@kendallvanden-berg1825]

I picture these two on the corner of Aspen and San Francisco street in Flagstaff, Arizona (looking as if they may have not showered for a few days). They begin to play this song, and a crowd is slowly drawn in. The first thing that people notice is his voice. They say to themselves, "Wow, this street performer can sing, I could stop to listen, I have a minute to spare." They listen to what he is saying and some people leave... They heard things that they didn't want to hear. Some stayed standing with solemn expressions.. The singer reminded them of things that they may have forgotten about. They feel defeated because of it. People that talk the talk don't always walk the walk. The piano solo.. unexpected but needed, for the people that were hoping for a quick distraction or excuse to leave. Others stay and smile out of appreciation for the comedic relief. The song ends and the listeners that are left standing look around at the mass of people that were moved by the performer's painful truths, because is it was spontaneous, because it was something they needed to be reminded of. Everyone hugs then disperses. (Flagstaff is a huggy town) I really like this song. I will be in attendance for the show in Tucson, AZ at the Rialto Theater, bringin' my best buuuuuuuuuuudy. We're happy and excited :)

[@velocityJE]

holy shit is right

[@toastfire2007]

The bearded Jim Morrison.

[@FancyTortoise]

Jim Morrison had a beard tho...

[@toastfire2007]

Yeah... but not always his look so I was specifying.

[@FancyTortoise]

A HM it wasnt always john mistys look either tho

[@toastfire2007]

+TheFancyTortoise That's why I was saying he looks like the bearded Jim Morrison. Since I am making a comment on this video, it logically follows that I am commenting on what he looks like in it.

[@markehijele]

Keith Green vibes

[@joeInterpol20]

The piano "solo" in the middle sucks, love this version tho. i cant get enough of this album, FJM is the best ive discovered in the last months

[@tomduval4262]

+Joseph ElDuderino purposely inharmonious...discordant...dissonance....cacophony. It goes very well with the theme of the song. It's nicely done and well put together.

[@fonzimendoza1979]

The hell??? I thought this was a skit

[@mayamagination]

I love this song, but theres no denying, the lyrics aren't that amazing. All he's doing is listing things that concern society.

[@mayamagination]

+Maya Magination Also, guy needs a better pianist. (this is a joke)

[@johnfroth7966]

+Maya Magination Eunuch sluts and incest dreams are a formidable threat to society these days.

[@mayamagination]

Not threat, concern. (But whatever, man, you get my point.)

[@brianrenninger5041]

I dont believe it's about the threats to society. It's about their irrelevance to the individual. He builds a mountain of issues, then destroys it with the final line "But what I fail to see is what that's gotta do with you and me." The way I believe the song is intended, the title "Holy Shit" is not a reference to the author being jaded or concerned with all the things wrong with the world, but rather overwhelmed by being forced to notice it. Buzzwords, click bait articles, pseudoscience, and 24hour news cycles. Lists and lists of absolute bullshit.

[@kerrymelt293]

Yeah, but that list - sung like he signs it, is amazing.
