    I just discovered John Grant today, and I think I've listened to this song twenty times now. It's a perfect song.

      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.

    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.

      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
