Father John Misty - God's Favorite Customer (June 1, 2018) Album • Page 14

“Mr. Tillman, for the seventh time
We have no knowledge of a film that is being shot outside
Those aren't extras in a movie; they're our clientele
No, they aren't running lines and they aren't exactly thrilled”

The flow of this verse gets me every time

 

hes still finding ways to take the piss out of himself with such a serious album

 

like mr tillman is hilarious but it also paints a super fucked up picture of where he was at at the time, clearly in a manic state flying off the handle but convincing himself he's "feeling good damn i'm feeling so fine," hes got these delusions of grandeur as you learn of the complete mess he's made at the hotel. its almost alarming as the song unravels and what he's been up to and the hook just writing it off. absolutely amazing storytelling and songwriting going on in that song, all in the confines of a fucking ridiculously catchy folk-pop tune. like i said, its one of his most iconic songs to me now that defines so much of who he is.

 

the chorus makes me wanna shake my booty

 

83 on metacritic as of right now. super well deserved.

God's Favorite Customer by Father John Misty

 

Man... he is absolutely on the top of his fucking game currently. Amazing performance.

 

working from home today and decided to have a beer out on the deck listening to this album bc it's so nice out. that turned into three beers and fuck me this album is really really good.

 

Is there someone we can call? Perhaps you shouldn’t drink alone.

 

i had my dogs with me

 

I don't have a car so I can't leave my apartment but I do have a lot of whiskey and this album so ima go in.

 

I've had this on repeat in the car all month

 

that sounds like a nice friday, im probably going to follow your lead

 

I didn't talk about it much since the leak because a lot of people were holding out but I've spent a lot of time with this record and it's easily my album of the year so far.

 

God it's SO good. The more I listen the better it gets.

 

I appreciate your varied taste, Jake.

I was listening to this at work on my phone all day. Now listening on a 1000 watt speaker and it's a whole other world. Fuck.

 

It sounds so pristine out of my studio monitors

 

and us on the internet

 

Love how he kept the piano driven blueprint like a lot of pure comedy but used it in more of a pop way

 

as @Wharf Rat said to me, the drum-bass-piano-guitar-vocals band set up is classic

 

The instrumentation is so lush on Dumb Enough To Try. It sounds pretty simple but there's so much going on.

 

A LITTLE WHILE LOOOOOONGER

 

Amazing moment in Hangout at the Gallows when he sings “Your compositions...” and the piantist fires off that little diddy.

 

Literally one of a million things I love about that song

 

Got major goosebumps during that part the first time I listened
