FYI that ripping guitar part was played by Lemon Twig Brian D'Addario /In fact, everyone in the video played on the record, but not on that track! Drums are from Stella Mozgawa and I believe the bass was Rado...
Natalie is 100% doing the backup vocals though
@@jpolen truth!
A regular on the colgate hour
Yo!! Lemon twigs are god tier
Weyes Blood made everything complete
When you have songs like Tim Heidecker in them, you can’t lose.
I love your name
@@nanamuskuri6630 haha thanks!
My favorite has to be petite feet or man with a plan or please touch me or get your poke on
Hes no CRUISE
Empty bottle is the og song . This is good too
I give this song five bags of popcorn.
and two bags of so- cans two cups of soda.
Definite 5 bagger 🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿
I’ll throw in six guitar strings
Dekkar has really taken a new direction
Add in an inflatable electric guitar
I'll give it five bags of popcorn plus a little coffin key chain, to remind me of death.
Lol nicely played
I like to see on cinema fans on here :)
May this song serve as a reminder of the Electric Sun 20, God rest their gentle souls.
let's hope the delgados don't get hold of this
Delgados the Scottish band? That’s nuts I haven’t heard about them in years still have my Great Eastern and Hate lps here with me in the great East.
Same as the previous comment, I'm speechless...are we sure that it is a reference to a scottish indie/slowcore band of 90s / 00s ?? With 128 likes in 1 day? I remember when I tried to expand my tastes outside the postrock and shoegaze autism and I bought Low and the Delgados... Now Low were awesome and I kept the CDs but my 2 Delgados CDs were sold or exchanged, not so memorable but good times.
The Delgado family is from Tim's On Cinema At The Cinema
+iVenge. That doesn’t necessarily make it “brilliant”.
@@MACMETALFACE lol, remember the delgados? i do,,, only by name,,, i had the MP3, early 2000
Seriously awesome to see Natalie involved in this album. Weyes Blood is fantastic.
I saw them open for the Beatles in the 78' grapevine tour. Literally sparks coming out of the guitar and cymbals. Tim was glowing like the ornament they put on top of Christmas tree. Magical and whimsical. I never feared death after that! And I still have the souvenir!
0:06 *TIM* the song goes like this: _plays 3 chords_ okay? ok 1 2 3 4
*ENTIRE BAND* _plays over 4 minutes of music flawlessly on first try_
Tim joked about this on NPR, they were able to get every song within like 2 takes lmao
This sounds a little like “Touch of Grey” in a weird way...evokes the same feeling.
It does! Doesn't it?
haha dont tell tim
Wait! I harnessed my inner Klington and cracked the code! Fear of Death actually = The Dead. See, he thinks he hates the Dead, yet he wrote music that sounds like them and it scares him... This IS a concept album. 5 bags of popcorn and a little dancing bear keychain.
@olskool shinobi He says he does but deep down you can tell he acknowledges a lot of Jerry Garcia's work, he's even mentioned he has a Spotify playlist tilted along the lines of "Tolerable Grateful Dead Songs".
It's easy to pick on the late era Dead and the whole Dead culture. But Working Man's and American Beauty, and some of Jerry's side projects are hard to knock.
I get that the GD culture is cringe and something to make fun of but why does Tim rip on the Dead like they're shit???? He could never play at their level, come on!
Weyes Blood singing backup to Tim Heidecker is the thing I always needed but didn't know.
How does this comedic genius make something that's seriously this good?
"I'm like Dylan" - Tim Heidecker
"I'm like David Crosby" - Tim Heidecker
'I'm like Tim Heidecker.' Tim... well, you see where this is going!
Chickenchip seems more like beatles pastiche
But not Bob Dylan. Just some guy named Dylan.
Dylan Schmorrow
Tim and Weyes’ Awesome Song, Great Job!
never thought i'd see a tim heidecker / weyes blood / lemon twigs collab, feels like a fever dream... i love it
Fever Dream is a great band name!
@@COMMODOOSA it’s not the description of the music they are describing. They are describing their own emotions as they see all of these people they know collaborating
@@COMMODOOSA your comment is yet another countless reminder of how fucking mind bogglingly stupid most people are
What did the lemon twigs have to do with this?
I DID NOT KNOW HE MADE MUSIC!!!
If somebody told me that this guy was a musician not a comedian I would simply take it for granted, that's how good he is.
He's definitely a musician too. But I kwym.
I wanna be able to count in a song by screaming “ayy” into the void. What a legend.
Ive sent Tim countless cards and letters to say how much i love the album
I sent letters and cards expressing my love too, but instead of boringly using the mail I sneaked inside his house (hehe) and left them under his wife's and kids' pillows. That way when he's done tucking everyone in at night he can finish the day with a letter of appreciation. I have it all planned out and it's gonna be perfectn
What a beautiful studio
I'm such a huge Tim and Eric fan, but the lyrics in this song are so horrifying on an existential level. I need to go watch some Carol and Mr. Henderson to clear my mind.
You have a great folk voice, enjoying your music alot
Don’t let the sweet solos fool you, Spagett is undercover behind that guitar.
Can't get over the sound of that snare, of all things
Seeing this shot on 16mm film is great but I want to see a glorious VHS transfer. That said, great job Tim and everyone involved.
If shot on VHS it could have been added to the Victorville Film Archives. Shame Tim didn't think of this at the design stage...
@@thewraith93 possibly just an oversight, should be corrected for the burger-box set edition
@@thewraith93 It's probably would just get burned up again by Tim again
Tim with the Electro Voice EV666! The mic of the beast!!!
Thanks for opening up a bit Tim. Been a fan for many years. Respect
i love the big persian rug, its very recording studio esque
Yeah very cliche
Tim I showed your song to my dad and he said you need to “shed your earthly shell and rejoin the vast ocean you were once a part of, then you’ll lose your fear.”
Whatever that means!
Dude your dad sounds awesome
@@_Finite i want that dads email address
Your dad is David Crosby
It means “take shrooms”
Joe Z that literally happens to people who take shrooms, they hear the universal tell them that suffering & injustice are just illusions that only humans can “see”
I can relate to this one, man!
Love that TELEVISION guitar solo, the creamy 70s production. , the outro, so into it
Wow! grateful dead vibes. I love the song.
Tim Heidecker's "Fear of Death" debuted at #17 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!
With a title like that I was expecting a more somber song. But I get it now. I just thought maybe Tim was channeling my feelings for the past 30 years. My fear of death. But it's not keeping me alive. It's killing me faster.
I am afraid of how much I relate to Tim
Good job, Tim. And everybody else too 👍🏽
I love this so much. It’s so cool to see Tim’s music evolve over the years - his music is definitely not ‘done growing’!!
this kind of depth is what makes him such a unique comedian I think. Cool stuff! Natalie is awesome too
When you got song like fear of death in them, you can't lose.
Easily my most used OCATMism.
@@ohjesussavemeOn Cinema At The Movies
Very nice song Timmy.
When Tim first dropped “In Glendale” I couldn’t figure out what the joke was. Now, well into a stellar musical career, I’ve realized the joke is that there is no joke, he’s just a great songwriter! I really enjoy watching him enjoy making tunes.
See Yellow River boys for Tim funny songs
Peace and Love all. To be the fly on the wall whilst 5 groovy musicians drop the spirit molecule - groove on you merry band of Freaks!
I played this song backwards and it's just Tim singing indecipherable garbage!
The nerve!
I think you might be onto something there!
Share this before they delete it!
Yeah well I played the first 30 seconds over and over again and it sounds the same
@@iphonewalkthroughs haha
Great job Tim and Team.
I love how good you are at guitar, it takes me by surprise every time, especially after getting introduced to your works via THE TRIAL OF THE CENTURY.
i cant wait for the 20th anniversary boxed set..... great job!!!
Tim Heidecker might be the coolest man alive.
he is i love him haha
coolest man alive period.
Watch his interview with Limmy
Definitely is.
Ehhh
My most heartfelt thanks for thissong and introducing me to Natalie's work. I can't believe its been 3 years!
I'm not done growing, but I'm done buying in. Super tune. Keep up the good work.
This is the best late 80s Grateful Dead song ever...
dunno if anyone else will appreciate it but i love when tim cracks a smile at the very end, "alright y'all the goof is over, this is the real me and i love you all and i'm so proud of you" - so many layers to his comedic persona, but at the end of the day he still seems so genuine and sincere, like he's really loving what he's doing. he's kinda always had that twinkle in his eye, ya know. i hope he lives forever.
Yeah, he seems like a genuinely good soul
He IS a good soul. So much better than that Gregg Turkington guy who almost got him sent to prison for literally nothing. Such unprofessional bullshit. Glad to see Tim out of the clink and pursuing his passions, free from all of the bad influences who keep trying to bring him down (Gregg, etc, etc... too many to list)
Awesome show. Great job!
This man went from weird comedy that I watched in the middle of the night to the songs I listen to when I am having coffee on my veranda in the afternoon.
Feeling that Bob Weir/Donna Jean Godchaux vibe on this here tune, love the album Tim!
I’ve been waiting for this song to come out since Tim sang a bit of it on ‘Office Hours’. Love it, Tim!!
Awesome song great job, thanks Tim!
I can’t wait for Tim’s Slow Train Coming/Saved/Shot Of Love period
Tim looks great, sounds great too. This is an awesome song, great riff at the end reminds me of a grateful dead era song
It really seems like they are having a fun time in the studio there. Good on them!
Heidecker is a master of all of his arts he partakes in
This is the most authentic sounding music he's put out to this point, in my opinion
I like that...I did really like "when i get up", but this one has a less novel, more relatable thing to it...
Definitely doesn’t hurt having weyes blood on backup vocals
its ike an empty bottle...
When I watched this video for the first time I immediately thought, "they didn't REALLY shoot this on film did they? It'd be cool if they did, but no one does that anymore." But yeah, they did. Very cool. :)
Your comedy can be so subtle sometimes that it takes a while to strip that out of my mind when you do something serious. Love the song and the video. 16mm for the win!
Thank you Tim
Natalie's harmonies are amazing
Fantastic! Hard stop.
Instant buy for me. Tim, you have become one of my favorite musicians in the past few years in addition to all the comedy stuff. Great writing and playing from all involved as usual. 👍
Great song, Tim.
Yeah! C'mon everybody; It's a brand new decade, we can shake this off.
God is Dead
This whole album blew me away, all of the musicians and melodies, beautiful job. This song rocks hard
I have never had a song so completely encapsulate my feelings on life than this. I mean that fucking sucks, but it is what it is. Thanks Tim for this entire album, and thanks to all the tremendous musicians who came together to make a great thing.
Yeah. I'm mid 30s with no kids now I understand why people have kids. It gives something new to experience because outside of that... I really have learned and seen everything new unless I just start traveling to random places. But that's new stuff externally not internally.
Great song!
Highly relatable.
Great song Tim et al! I love Natalie! Such a great harmony on the chorus.
the first twenty seconds of this are so damn funny when he's "showing" them the chords. Tim has a great sense for musical showmanship humor-reminds me of the "jazz" sketch: "I thought you were coming in on the eight but you came in on the six!"
that this is a legitimately great song that rivals "Jambalya" and "We're in Charge (of the Local Shoppe)" feels like a gift and a half.
So tripped out! Makes me want to go take a canoe out on the river for like a week and recharge.
I like having fun. I like to laugh. The fear of death is keeping me alive.
Wow, really great song!
This is sort of unrelated but I do love the song. I've never thought as much about death as I do these days. I used to have a problem with living a bit too much in the moment but now I feel much more aware of how everything will die than I'm comfortable with. I guess I appreciate the people in my life a lot more these days but I can't seem to fully enjoy my time with them as I'm always on the verge of crying. I suppose it's something we all have to face at some point. My father recently told me he used to be terrified of death when he was my age but that he had now, for the most part, gotten over it. At this point both his parents had recently passed and seeing as it hasn't really changed him I want to believe him. I'm positive the current pandemic contributes a lot to this sense of impending doom.
Hey man I know this was a while ago but I hope youre doing better. You have to understand that this is the cost of living my friend, the inevitability of the death of everything you know and love. Which is why you should really just try to live your best life, and spend time with those who you want to be with. You wont be wasting your time, youll be living your life in happiness. Thats the best advice I can give
This is exactly how I feel
Beautiful
I don't see the value in having fun. I think I'm done growing.
"oh how we drift away," is TOO BEAUTIFUL. Video didn't accept comments, so? Love LOVE woman's HARMONY.
Weyes Blood. I sure hope by now you're listening to her solo stuff. 😁
@@Womenmatter2009 I became ADDICTED to her, ever since that comment. I searched her and was BLOWN AWAY by how incredible Weyes Blood is!! Cannot stop listening 😂.
I love how Tim seamlessly transitions from absurd comedy to serious music. Don't stop yo ♥️
I love his spectrum... He does serious so naturally too. Hes like a Jim Carrey or Adam Sandler you could say, doesnt matter what hes going for.
I didn't go into watching this expecting to like it so much. Awesome retro vibe, poignant message, and the backup vocals are fucking angelic.
Casey Tatum and his Brother would be proud.
It’s nice to see something shot on film for a change.
This is “Do drugs with your dad and listen to it together” kinda music.
One of my best memories was doing a bunch of drugs with my dad when he was dying of cancer. It got to the point where there was no way he was getting out of it. One day I pulled out a joint and we started smoking, he had no idea I ever even smoked. Then I busted out a box of shit I had and we went wild. Died a few days later.
Totally dad rock kinda like Wilco.
@@ottowayne7293 I volunteer at the old folks home and they consider Tim a promising young man and artist with just a bit of a dangerous edge
Awesome Song, Great Job!
Nice, but imagine what DKR and Larue could do with this
Yeah there is definitely a nu-metal element missing from this.
Fear of death 2.0
@@ImpureContagion i find myself thinking that about most things in life, not even just music.
It's like McCartney without the Beatles. Good music, but lacks that certain edge.
kewkabe i think that IS the edge
Wow. Love it.
I'll never know why, but after watching this I immediately bought a Purple mattress.
Nice song. I got some Wishbone Ash vibes. Natalie is so cute! 😍
It is so weird seeing him be genuine. I keep expecting this to turn into some absurd and hilarious joke. Instead, it’s just really good.
I bought this record randomly when I found it in the record store thinking that even if it was absurd, whatever I like his comedy. It's easily one of my favorite records of the past 10 years. It blew me away and still does every time I put it on. Awesome record, great job.
@@markchevrier9756 I’m honestly curious, what are your other favorites over the last decade?
@@theres1dent So as far as new records only I'd say some would be...
King Gizzard - Flying Microtonal Banana
Thee Oh Sees - Facestabber, Orc.. well let's face it in the past 10 years mostly all the records they've put out have been pretty solid.
Tiger Army - Retrofuture
Orville Peck - Pony
Amenra - Mass VI (Mass III, my favorite album of theirs was 2011 so not much longer than 10 years ago)
I can go on and on about great albums over the last decade but those are right off the top of my head. I have an eclectic taste in music. Punk, extreme metal, Rocksteady, roots ska and reggae, garage rock, alt country, etc... I like music across many genres, as long as it speaks to me. Tim Heidecker's Fear of Death album is definitely one of my favorite albums in a long time and it's an album that I feel is timeless and will still be just as good 10 years, 20 years from now.
(While writing this I really realized how long a decade is and how much great music has been released in the past 10 years. I'll actually sit down and make a much longer list now just to entertain myself.)
@@markchevrier9756 right on the same page with you about the Osees & gizzard releases. Have you heard any of the new ‘egg punk’ stuff? Like the coneheads, liquids, prison affair, research reactor corp, satanic togas, GEE TEE, RMFC? Lots of really solid punk/post punk coming out these days, viagra boys is worth a scope out as well.
Same lol I keep expecting Leiberharte to come out with the puppets
Guitar 🎸 excellent
If there was ever a "The Comedy 2" this would make a fitting theme
I love this, this is great
Holy shit this is awesome!
Glad to finally see and hear your song with Weyes Blood! Awesome song great job!
This song reminds me of Tim.
Love it Tim. Your voice reminds me of the great Brian Wilson. Always enjoy your music.
