Father John Misty - Well, You Can Do It Without Me

[@anikayadav7668]

this song always gave me a Stuck In The Middle With You - stealers wheel kinda vibe

[@davehigdin]

I love the premise of the song. Great subject to write about, wish it was two verses longer. So many things in this world I want no part in.

[@JDrevolver66]

As far as other verses, the first and third verses with him merrily double-crossing are fun to try to imitate. If the word on the street is that you're bound to fall, you can ring me up, I won't refuse the call, I'll guard your side, but you can ride, without me. If ya can make yourself a fortune by cookin' the books, but ya you need to make sure nobody takes a look, I'll buy and sell, you'll get a cell, without me.

Back in my day, FJM was the most cromulent band around!

[@michaelluciano1980]

Drove across i-40 from NC to California in a beat up VW van and when we finally got to the highway between LA and Santa Barbara this was the album that we rejoiced with. No A/C, 58 MPH tops, best summer of my life.

This isn’t my usual style of music that I enjoy but this song and the lyrics are magical

[@HappySmile248]

fav song of the album yaaahs

[@andreab1540]

If you see a flaming sword in your dreams at night And feel inspired to assign me up to the front line Well give the order You'll storm the border without me If they tell you you're a genius but you need some proof Ask anybody on the payroll to go out with you If they avoid ya Then they'll award ya definitely Nobody that's around just seems to get it right How hard is it to follow just a few guidelines And smile while you do it If you want a page written 'bout you in the book But you need a food tester 'cause you cursed the cook I'll take some wine But you can dine without me Without me Who would let you play God And make-believe that all the blasphemy Is coming only from me? If you're bound for the throne but the king won't die I can occupy the queen but that's for her and I I can do her And you'll be ruler without me Yeah, you can do it But you can do it without me

[@Atengco]

That sounds retro !! I love it It's like Jim morrison joining the rolling stones in the 70s, at least for me 😊

[@qambarjr2866]

So fuxking good my god

[@globbaslobba]

hows this not have easily 10x the views

[@wolflar16]

VIEWS don't equal good music. Just look at the entire genre of POP

[@globbaslobba]

@@wolflar16 no shit

[@ggmono]

This song will sound good 20 years from now, 50 years from now. Turn on the radio -- will whatever song is playing at that moment sound good 50 years from now? Maybe, but most likely not.

[@josebarria3233]

the scream!!

[@creeperswitness9758]

I love it.

[@giacomosidran1926]

spettacolo di canzone

[@glich86]

One of my favourite songs from the album. Just such an easy melody and lyrics. Why'd it take so long to get uploaded :P

[@deltoroperdedor3166]

Sammy Buckle legal bs would be my guess (convincing Sub Pop or something)

[@boasmusicas_gizellecatarina]

Sonzão!!!!!

[@Eddie-Bell]

Neat

[@CallumMcCartney]

Nice

[@anondelivers3222]

can we just call him father john?

[@Joshreece]

Mr. Tillman is what I called him when I met him and you should too

[@mcpootis7796]

Is it just me or does FJM saying “a food tester cause...” sound like “a few testicles”?

[@kdarko88]

Omg I heard the exact same thing! Thanks for making me not feel alone.

[@spencer4630]

i wish i were one of father john misty's sperm... then maybe he could be my dad

[@michaelluciano1980]

1/100 million chance.
