This particular version of this song is the best thing he’s ever done. Everyone else will tell you otherwise, but it’s just not true. GMF, Glacier, and ‘you don’t have to’ are all worthy contenders, but nothing will compare to this specific version of this song. Either way, know that his style and cynicism have been bitten off by many others, particularly Father John Misty.
@@pbelancsik I agree, there is nothing like just him and a piano live. The man is phenomenal. I will never forget seeing him, standing there feeling like I'd just been run over by a truck emotionally. But in a good way.
So here i am in 2024 and I've only recently heard of John Grant through his duet with Elbow. A beautiful baritone voice and going to see him perform in 2 weeks in Glasgow.
This is one of the best FU songs I've heard in a long time. Full of wit, sarcasm, and insults. Yet very truthful and naked. He is a really a powerful singer and song writer.
Love this master piece. Found it while searching for Sinead O'connor lives. She sang it beautifully too. Hears them singing together, just brilliant. What a voice John and song. Let's hope Sinéad is singing it amongst the angels above us❤
Thats why I fell for my partner he looked like a big, viking bear that was made for cuddling and I love him dearly and I Introduced to John Grant who he loves.
"you said my life was based upon a lie; I casually mention that I pissed in your coffee"...touche. What a genius this man is. LOVE LOVE LOVE him. His lyrics help me make sense of my own twisted mind! Long Live John Grant!!
"I casually mentioned that I pissed in your coffee".......what a great line! Powerful vocals, creative lyrics, great construction, a fabulous song through and through
Fantastic. Love his voice. And I'm old - 56. Learnt to know him by my daughter. And I'm so very glad. Like his songs so very much. He's on my playlist! XX
A pleasure to tune the piano for him in Cardiff the day before Glastonbury this song great live being a piano tuner gets you to meet some real talent J.E.HARRIS 3rd generation piano tuner and lifelong Swans Fan.
He's one of the greatest, i saw him live and at that moment didnt know who was him. I felt in love inmediatly, he fucking hypnotized me with his amazing voice.
Heard John connect with Larry Flick on Out Q Radio yesterday morning.....leading me to discover this excellent rendition on this song. More of the best for you John! Sing on!
I only a few months ago found this magnificent singer. And I just love not only his musical style but I find his lyrics very interesting and often meaningful God John Granf
saw him live at roskilde festival a month ago. hey I was blown away. didnt know his music at all, but was spell bound with the rest of the audience. Thank you for an intimate and intense concert.
I practically love everything this awesome artist have done. But if someone point at me with a gun and force me to chose only one video with him I think this one will be my choice. Still give me goosebumps.
Love this man.Did not know who he was until I heard him on radio 4 and I thought what a lovely sounding man he is and then I looked him up and thought Oh and I knew this song from Sinead but did not realise it was him.Great song.
"I casually mentioned that I pissed in your coffee". Also, I hear the line "why don't you bore the shit out of somebody else" often in my head as someone yammers on at me.
Can the world pleeeeeease wake up and realise real talent when they hear it/see it. I've followed this guy since my first sighting of him on Jools Holland and I personally believe he's got more talent in his fine beard than most of the shit out there. It's a shame the world is being dumbed down with LMFAO and One Direction.
But you’re missing the parallel artists that have ripped off of his genius, aka Father John Misty. Listen to his stuff, then come back to John Grant and realize how the American intellectual music is just a carbon copy of John’s, because Mr Grant’s music wasn’t readily accepted. Now mix it with a dumbed down indie version and you have…pseudo intellectual indie rock
This has to be one of the greatest and most underrated songs of all time
I just discovered John Grant today, and I think I've listened to this song twenty times now. It's a perfect song.
GMF is better Imo.
If I listen to this song once, I listen to it three or four times
@@ozzyagerI have the same report with his song «Marz». It is absolutely wonderful. I look forward to getting acquainted with this tune now.

mind-blowing performance. what a voice on this guy...
Wow, what a performance........when he holds that note....spine-tingling!
I just saw him tonight. We are blessed to have such a genius in our world!

one of the few artists that I have flown a distance to see live. love his songs, his lyrics and voice. thanks you john Grant
thks Sinead O´connor u introduce 2 me this spechless play.no words no words, only tears from the moon....this is not a song, its a gun.
The sheriff of my town told me to listen to this song. I love it! My sheriff has great taste in music.
No way!!! I can't see Grady Judd listening to John Grant 😂😂😂
After watching 6 videos of this guy, his charm is slowly taking effect. Helps that he looks like my first lover, Big Tony.
Well I fell for him after two videos and I never meet Big Tony.... unfortunately!
Thats why I fell for my partner he looked like a big, viking bear that was made for cuddling and I love him dearly and I Introduced to John Grant who he loves.
"you said my life was based upon a lie; I casually mention that I pissed in your coffee"...touche. What a genius this man is. LOVE LOVE LOVE him. His lyrics help me make sense of my own twisted mind! Long Live John Grant!!
He's not the songwriter of this one
"I casually mentioned that I pissed in your coffee".......what a great line! Powerful vocals, creative lyrics, great construction, a fabulous song through and through
Pure brilliance.
Anybody else listening to this every day to sooth their soul?
This guy's voice is amazing! Brilliant lyrics too!
Fantastic. Love his voice. And I'm old - 56. Learnt to know him by my daughter. And I'm so very glad. Like his songs so very much. He's on my playlist!

You weren't old when you posted this nine years ago and, if your opinion still stands, you're still not old. X
Grant's combination of gorgeous, Carpenters-inspired melody and his quirky lyrics is magic.
Fresh from the Ally Pally performance of this tonight, John's talent Is just mind-blowing.. 👏💗
Best lyrics EVER . Thank you kind sir ❤ You are needed in this world.
The agony makes my eyes burst in to tears every time!
brilliant song . thanks to Sinead O Connor for introducing me to john grant and his music .
A pleasure to tune the piano for him in Cardiff the day before Glastonbury this song great live being a piano tuner gets you to meet some real talent J.E.HARRIS 3rd generation piano tuner and lifelong Swans Fan.
Love this guy.
God, he is so fucking gifted that words fail me. This song is perfect. All off "Queen Of Denmark" is perfect. I hope his career is long and wonderful.
Every song is a winner.
He's one of the greatest, i saw him live and at that moment didnt know who was him. I felt in love inmediatly, he fucking hypnotized me with his amazing voice.
It was Sinead O'Connor that brought me to this man, who is like the second coming of Harry Nielsen.
Sad song great performance. Love J G!
An outstanding artist. This song and lyrics are a perfect example of his great works
quite simply...brilliant.....thank you!
One of my favorite songs of all time! Genius.
I soooooooo love John Grant. He inspires us all with his songs. Have been having earworms, playing his songs almost everyday!
His brilliance is magnified by his suffering.
Like many great artists
I have no comment. This man sings every word I have ever thought
Wonderful singer and songwriter
Listened to this for the first time sort of recently, quickly became one of my all time favorite songs.
His voice is amazing!
Sung in a beautiful way and then the text...... surprise. So great.
gorgeous gorgeous voice. and those lyrics, man... i don't know whether to laugh or cry...
I love this song so much............hits me deeply
Beautiful. Made me cry. Thank you
La voix de John Grant me file la chair de poule. J'adore cet artiste, du premier album des Czars à Pale Green Ghosts.
Masterpiece!
I am in love with this song!
Heard John connect with Larry Flick on Out Q Radio yesterday morning.....leading me to discover this excellent rendition on this song. More of the best for you John! Sing on!
Stephen. I now Love John Grant and his music!!!!!!
This song is somewhere in my top 5 of all time. Fantastic stuff. And I get to see him talk again tomorrow evening 😊😊😊
Also the Czars. Really amazing! Squeeze my soul
I wanted to change the world but I couldn't even change my underwear. Brilliant.
It is brilliant and some of have actually felt that way. Good singer.
+Dan Bollen
He has a great voice, and is far more than a *"Good singer"*.
Absolutely, I could have chosen a better adjectives.
Understandable
Luv it - so powerful!
Brilliant, stunning voice.
Saw him supporting Elbow last night. Incredible.
Keep coming back.. magic 💝💝💝
I only a few months ago found this magnificent singer. And I just love not only his musical style but I find his lyrics very interesting and often meaningful God John Granf
"you'll still be sitting here ten years from now" - didn't realize this song was about me until today
Fan-bloody-tastic!
I like listening to John Grant when I want to suffer and wallow in despair.
Thanks, Matt Alber for reminding me about John. I love these songs. He reminds me of Harry Neilssen. I love this session.
Brilliant, absolutely, brilliant song. X
saw him live at roskilde festival a month ago. hey I was blown away. didnt know his music at all, but was spell bound with the rest of the audience. Thank you for an intimate and intense concert.
Love it, the Vocals, the Song - awesome
Wow. How did I miss this guy?!!
Love this song 👏👏👏👏
Fits like a fucking glove. Beautiful, true, raw, moving, smashing.
fantastic texts... I love John Grant!!!
Sinead's version blows this up! but I am glad he wrote this so she could kill it!!
I practically love everything this awesome artist have done. But if someone point at me with a gun and force me to chose only one video with him I think this one will be my choice. Still give me goosebumps.
Me too. But I do like the song. "You're where dreams go to die" lol
Just the voice
…I casually mentioned that I pissed in your coffee…. what a line :)
I love that line. Somebody was ticked off at me once and asked me why I pee'd in their cornflakes. Funny.
Saw him last night supporting ELBOW he was superb 👍
Love this man.Did not know who he was until I heard him on radio 4 and I thought what a lovely sounding man he is and then I looked him up and thought Oh and I knew this song from Sinead but did not realise it was him.Great song.
"I casually mentioned that I pissed in your coffee". Also, I hear the line "why don't you bore the shit out of somebody else" often in my head as someone yammers on at me.
Great!!!
Very ridiculous. He is so talented. I sure hope he comes back this way soon!
he is such a lovely gentleman!
Unbelievably talented. Bit late discovering him but better late then never
Beautiful.
If I could write music, i'd want to write music like this. what a voice this man has xxx
I almost shed a tear.
