When this song takes off, it is truly one of my favorite moments across FJM's catalogue. I'm so glad this made it to the LP -- when the organ and drums kick in, it's like someone setting off a flare in the middle of the night on this album.
"It's not self-love that kills you, it's when those who hate you are allowed to sell you that you're a glorious shit the entire world revolves around" This is a great observation and actually the main problem with western society, everyone has been sold that the world revolves around them and everyone feels good about themselves but not because of anything they have actually done...
It really is, even while listening to this song youtube tries to recommend other FJM songs in the sidebar that you might like. And that's fine when it's music, albeit restrictive, but when it comes to stuff like the news it's just destructive. No one ever has to question anything because your view is constantly reinforced and you're always right, and everyone loves being right. Honestly one of the best songs I've ever heard, so many big themes tackled and in an artful way in 5 minutes.
@@slvrstnthb It's always been this way...people are no different than we've ever been. Dona Maria, in Cela's The Hive, said that "we're here to help each other, but we don't because we don't want to". That was during WWII.
The Memo lyrics I'm gonna steal some bedsheets From an amputee I'm gonna mount em on a canvas In the middle of the gallery I'm gonna tell everybody It was painted by a chimpanzee Just between you and me Here at the cultural low watermark If it's fraud or art They'll pay you to believe I'm gonna take five young dudes From white families I'm gonna mount 'em on a billboard In the middle of the country I'm gonna tell everybody They sing like angels with whiter teeth But just between you and me They're just like the ones before With their standards lower Another concert-goer will pay you to believe Oh, caffeine in the morning, alcohol at night Cameras to record you and mirrors to recognize And as the world is getting smaller, small things take up all your time Narcissus would have had a field day if he could have got online And friends it's not self-love that kills you It's when those who hate you are allowed To sell you that you're a glorious shit The entire world revolves around And that you're the eater, no not the eaten But that your hunger will only cease If you come binge on radiant blandness At the disposable feast Just quickly how would you rate yourself (? Indie Brunch) In terms of sex appeal and cultural significance? (Irony, irony Blo blo blo blo blo blo blo) Do you usually listen to music like this? (Just one more mile, you can do it again) Can we recommend some similar artists? (This is totally the song of my summer) Are you feeling depressed? (This guy just gets me) But your feedback's important To us (Music is my life) Gonna buy myself a sports team And put 'em in a pit I'm gonna wage the old crusade Against consciousness All I need's a couple winners To get every loser to fight in it Keep the golden calf Just need the bullshit And they won't just sell themselves into slavery They'll get on their knees and pay you to believee Songwriters: Joshua Michael Tillman
I've never heard anyone similar to FJM lyrically speaking, the album stranger to stranger from Paul Simon was pretty whimsical and conversational in style but yeah if anyone has any recommendations... pipe up please!
Conor Oberst !! Oh..and also a TV Show on Amazon Prime called "Patriot"(Yes it's a TV show, but it's music is....just watch it!! Let me know if these interest you!

nejc lines like these are why FJ is so fucking amazing.

that's THE lyric for me. straightforward, brutally true.

and then corporations have a perfect opportunity to slip in and be like "hey mister important person, I have this perfect product just for you uwu :3"
We truly do live in a society
This is my favorite of the album
The Memo lyrics
I'm gonna steal some bedsheets
From an amputee
I'm gonna mount em on a canvas
In the middle of the gallery
I'm gonna tell everybody
It was painted by a chimpanzee
Just between you and me
Here at the cultural low watermark
If it's fraud or art
They'll pay you to believe
I'm gonna take five young dudes
From white families
I'm gonna mount 'em on a billboard
In the middle of the country
I'm gonna tell everybody
They sing like angels with whiter teeth
But just between you and me
They're just like the ones before
With their standards lower
Another concert-goer will pay you to believe
Oh, caffeine in the morning, alcohol at night
Cameras to record you and mirrors to recognize
And as the world is getting smaller, small things take up all your time
Narcissus would have had a field day if he could have got online
And friends it's not self-love that kills you
It's when those who hate you are allowed
To sell you that you're a glorious shit
The entire world revolves around
And that you're the eater, no not the eaten
But that your hunger will only cease
If you come binge on radiant blandness
At the disposable feast
Just quickly how would you rate yourself
(? Indie Brunch)
In terms of sex appeal and cultural significance?
(Irony, irony
Blo blo blo blo blo blo blo)
Do you usually listen to music like this?
(Just one more mile, you can do it again)
Can we recommend some similar artists?
(This is totally the song of my summer)
Are you feeling depressed?
(This guy just gets me)
But your feedback's important
To us
(Music is my life)
Gonna buy myself a sports team
And put 'em in a pit
I'm gonna wage the old crusade
Against consciousness
All I need's a couple winners
To get every loser to fight in it
Keep the golden calf
Just need the bullshit
And they won't just sell themselves into slavery
They'll get on their knees and pay you to believee
Songwriters: Joshua Michael Tillman
music is my life
Still slaps
This song is lyrical genius
Oh, caffeine in the mornings. 😌
Alcohol at night. 😔
I oscillate between favorite songs on this album. Currently, this is my favorite :-D
Love the bridge
There's a bizarre amount of synchronicity for me on this album. Saw him in asheville 9/25, it was life changing
Breath taking.
Guy's a fuckin genius
Anthem of the year
Do you usually listen to music like this? Can we recommend some similar artists?
Are you feeling depressed?
Luis Meira this guy just gets me. music is my life.
