I've been listening to the new Father John Misty album, and while it isn't my favorite album from him, it's still a solid entry into his discography. It's pretty depressing since it was written immediately after his separation from his wife, whom if you remember, was the muse of his groundbreaking album
I Love You Honeybear a few years ago.
But there's one song that stands out. Absolutely heartbreaking lyrics and beautiful melodies make this an instant classic in my mind.
Quote:
I know a few ten-cent words
I can break out to keep up with her
But you can take what I know about love
And drown it in the sink
I know my way around a tune
Won't be a single dry eye in the room
But you can take what I know about you
And maybe fill a small balloon
But I'm just dumb enough to try
To keep you in my life
For a little while longer
And I'm insane enough to think
I'm gonna get out with my skin
And start my life again
I'm no stranger to the female form
Oh, I've been here a few times before
Oh, but you could have me anytime
Everything's cool, I'm great, it's fine
Oh, but I'm just dumb enough to try
To keep you in my life
For a little while longer
And I'm insane enough to think
I'm gonna get out with my skin
And start my life again
