Father John Misty - I Guess Time Just Makes Fools of Us All [Official Audio]

[@Brosefish1019]

Wake up babe, new 8-min Father John Misty Disco anthem just dropped.

[@ChefBarry]

If babe didn’t wake up for that then I’m available

[@crygonegin7692]

Psych disco. Am I in love? I hope he pushes the psychedelic angle in this next release.

[@Brosefish1019]

@@ChefBarry she woke up but it means the world you’d be there for me

[@GizzyDillespee]

Kinda blues disco. I dig it.

[@GizzyDillespee]

Like Clint Eastwood roller skating off into the sunset...

[@garygibson5983]

My kid played this for me a few weeks back and I had to smile. His last album was a Glen Campbell throwback and now he's moved on the the 1980's sound of the pop and rock icons who got left in the dust and then moved into this disco country sound. Tom Jones, Jerry Lee Lewis, and even Gordon Lightfoot went this way. 40 plus years later the father is dipping his toe into a familiar pool, but the kids...the kids never heard that stuff. Everything old is new again....except for me...I'm just old.

[@DeepRising-Ambience]

was listening to some Gord this morning.

[@groovytuesday5222]

I don’t think this sounds like those artists but more like JJ Cale.

[@ricardomarques3257]

Loved this comment, have a good one, man.

[@mq01]

I hear some Rod Stewart in there as well.

[@ConstableHandsy]

Don’t hear any 80s in this 🤷‍♂️. 70s sure.

What a time to be awake. 4:27am. Rewarding the burning of the midnight oil.

[@sebfrett1005]

Yeah for sure ..and not even the good Cohen either

[@nathanharper5670]

@@sebfrett1005 I like Death of a Ladies' Man - it's Cohen vis-a-vis Phil Spector's crazy ass with a touch of disco. Iodine has real pathos, and Fingerprints is upbeat, country fun. Give it a chance!

Reminds me somehow of the late great Leonard Cohen. Like 4 songs in one. Such an adventure.

[@andywatt2376]

Song of the year

[@stephenwilliams163]

WTF is this? I'm driving home. My phone is dead so the radio is tuned to NPR. It's a local Friday night program that plays eclectic music. That's when this absolute banger of a song comes on and then just keeps going. I love this. Comment section seems to know all about this guy, so gimme the crash course. What songs/albums do I need to know?

[@Memry-Man]

PURE sympathy for all these studio musicians

[@LuckyStarFish71]

[@starshapedtambourineman]

Very much so!

[@aaroninternet4159]

I feel it man, the great irony, the tragic humor of the whole human game. The endless change, the dissolution of all golden calves, the hypnotic dream world of Man's desires. God always has a new lesson for the dreamer. Do we ever wake up fully? Will God ever show us the plan? Again and again, we are humbled to our knees, bowing down to his mercy, to our ever breaking heart. We are nothing more than infinitesimal grains of sand, which contain infinity. Perhaps every pain is a stepping stone to liberation, and the best thing to fill our bellows of emptiness is laughter.
