Father John Misty - Soundtrack Of My Life

[@SLalla96]

I cracked a smile at the chord progression. Love you Josh

[@r.pneumo7337]

Yeah, that was hilarious. Btw, do you know which chords he played?

[@MrDevin1125]

The one with his pointer finger extended across the neck of the guitar is G major, the one with his fingers scrunched up are the other end is D major, and the one were his pointer and middle finger are on two strings that are next to each other is E minor. These are chords that are very easy to play for a beginner and are incredibly common in a lot of songs, especially in songs that tend to be associated with douchey college bros who always bring an acoustic guitar to the house party. I assume those two things are why he hates them so much. I still like those chords though. ---Signed, a guitar player of five years

[@user-hq8mx7mn3u]

he also played a Cadd9

[@r.pneumo7337]

Thank you both!! :)

[@NolalanD]

@@r.pneumo7337 It's the WOnderwall chords....definitely overplayed after Wonderwall

[@amtiskaw]

You can see why some people dismiss FJM as a pretentious, ironic hipster, as he can come across that way. But, like here, when he loosens up he can be quite funny charming, and genuine about his influences and his music.

[@jasonpeters9865]

Lol, dude...This interview just backed all those claims up....He's a pretentious hipster. If he was just honest? It wouldn't be that way. No, he's seen too many Vincent Gallo and Kurt Cobain interviews

[@jasonsteakums6067]

Opposite of genuine. It seems like he’s always playing a character. Everything about him looks and feels premeditated. And the constant need to try and say something profound and wrapping it in layers of cynicism while looking into the distance is a turnoff. The worst part is that people are buying into this human fedora

[@Alicedoesart]

@@jasonsteakums6067it’s fun to pretend. Dontcha know?

[@bburns]

@@jasonsteakums6067 lol human fedora! He does seem kinda self-conscious and filters himself

[@paullegloan1502]

I just love that he wishes he'd written Bird on the Wire. I love that he comes from that place lyrically. For me, that would be Famous Blue Raincoat... Any Leonard Cohen song, really. What a legend. What a sad passing.

[@supak108]

Paul Le Gloan also a beautiful one. For me something about sing another song boys really gets me. That's the song I thought of the moment I found out he died late that night. They'll never reach the moon, at least not the one we're after.

[@paullegloan1502]

Absolutely. Songs of Love and Hate is literally one of the greatest collections of music ever created.

[@supak108]

Paul Le Gloan no doubt

[@pablocastanon9641]

Please we want a Father John Misty, Beach boys cover album!!

[@tsukiji_wasabi3722]

Pablo Castanon only with those chords though

[@UltraViolet666]

he is gold. And god I so agree with that guitar strum style. I can't deal with that either 1:04

[@sourcherry23]

I adore this guy so much!

[@jamrito]

ah, the ole Wonderwall progression

[@blodwynswayze1531]

Julian Merchant that's where I thought he was going!

[@johnzackarias11]

That wasn't the Wonderwall progression though.

[@johnzackarias11]

Oh actually that was the chorus wasn't it, sorry. My bad.

[@generalkenobi6869]

I get around is the perfect song for a funeral

[@JonnyHosq]

Holy shit DC Talk was his first concert..... TobyMac was my first concert. Ahhh the Christian up-bringing, what a blessed time. lol

[@gracestallman2379]

toby puts on a damn fine show

[@insaneprophet9192]

Ha Switchfoot was my first concert.

[@jasonpeters9865]

Well what u expect? The truth? That it was Motley Crue

[@SH4M4N_YT]

I died laughing from that "funeral song" question

[@circling-girl]

I live in Rockville, MD and it's totally surreal hearing him reference Lakeforest Mall (which is actually gone now, RIP, except not really because it was terrible).

[@shadygroves8252]

"I wanted to be a teenage mutant ninja turtle at that point in my life"

[@ClueFinderDirtDigger]

Bullfrogs and Butterflies. Shit, man, İ haven't heard that one in years. I collapsed on the floor when that came out of your mouth.

[@jasonpeters9865]

Yeah, he studied up for this interview to give u all the most obscure reference he could find/think of. He's so cool

[@Ohnoemmaishere]

I thought his first memory of music was that "tell me lies, sweet little white lies song" lol

[@indiego6794]

He's just so chill lol

[@starkicker5623]

yet spills anxiety

[@Mark_Bayer]

That chord progression 😆😆

[@colangelog09]

gonna think of this every time i hear "good riddance" from now on.

[@stellabluelulu]

The fact that he went to a D.C. Talk show killed me

[@perpetuated]

James McMillin hahaha Dc talk was my first show too. Ahh parents..

[@gracestallman2379]

HIS FIRST CONCERT WAS DC TALK!?! And now he's strumming "I love rap music"!? What is this life. Former church kids ftw.

[@theyellowproject4203]

top bloke..

[@JasonTopo]

i love you J

[@beastie7452]

bullfrogs and butterflies was my childhood

[@trashtvinternational]

What is he doing at 1:01??

[@Polhramorin]

curling into a fetal position

[@scottflores2502]

lol, bullfrogs and butterlifes....I had it on vinyl as a kid.......classic!!! I have no negativity towards it...i have more negativity towards that Green Day song he eluded towards, LOL

[@wirezts]

What's the song at 1:08?

[@TommyJerryJGSPC]

Good riddance by Green Day

[@d.leon.pedro.26]

I want your beard back Man !

[@ClaudioLaureano936]

1:09 I hear that Taylor Swift song

[@aphroditeladie]

Where did he mention R Kelly?!

[@izzy8d2]

that sing sing place sounds hilarious

[@Lanooski]

"I can't stand THIS" *plays one of like three progressions i can play comfortably" fuck you Father. X)

[@timothydobelbower5487]

This was before he got all smug

[@Facundo783ar]

why he constantly keep his left hand in his pocket?

[@apes4days254]

Concealing boner

[@blodwynswayze1531]

Facundo Aspitia maintaining

[@vladislavrakitin5721]

he has no left hand. it's fake

[@FungusMossGnosis]

He's holding a Bob Dole action figure in the pocket. It's his lucky charm.

[@1porter]

Wonderwall at 1:10

[@r.pneumo7337]

Pseudowonderwallesque.

[@jasonthefates7311]

I can't pull off the Magnum or Sturgeon. I can but mine comes across more as a member of the village people. No offense but wrong groove. Can't believe he brought up Petra. They 2nd in sales. Stryper was obviously 1st. Never bought but was force fed to hear growing up. Maybe that caused all the self medicating. Just play and write you cool folk.

[@hyperuraniofilms]

My Husband

[@xeniasimeonidou7746]

i could never believe that he would be religious not that i criticize him about it but i don't know i couldn't make the match

[@prashanthrajan2677]

He's not religious. He was brought up in a very religious household, and as a result, most of his initial exposure to music was to Christian music.

[@jasonpeters9865]

Lol, can't stand hipsters answers to this question? "Fav music? Soundtrack you're life?" Pretentious hipsters always give "off the wall, scattered, obscure" answers...When they damn welll know it was Nirvana and 80s/90s indie, alternative music they really love and listen to all time. Like REM, Depeche Mode to The Relacements, Pixies to The Cure, Husker Du to Pearl Jam, Nirvana to Soundgarden, Alice in Chains.

[@BrightonsFinestUK]

Is it just me or does it sound like he almost hits the Leaving LA melody when he takes the piss out of Green Day?

[@maryferrell6882]

Why you have to bring GD into this? Sheesh.

[@hayleyb467]

Who's gd?
