I saw him in concert and when he sang “Say, do you wanna get married” a girl in the crowd said “Yes”. He said “You’re not gonna like the end of this song then”.
This song is a constant reminder to appreciate the small moments in life. Those last few lines. "All cause I went to the store one day" gets me. Everything, all the love for his wife and all the plans he has for the future and all the struggles he's had and will have, all because of this one little moment in his life. And that last line "Seen you around what's your name?" like i dunno. again just everything in his life coming about cause of one day. It's so simple but it's just such an important thing to remember.
We met in a parking lot Buying coffee and cigarettes Firewood and bad wine long since gone But I'm still drunk and hot, wide awake Breathing hard But now, in just one year's time I've become jealous, rail-thin, prone to paranoia when I'm stoned 'Cause isn't true love "someone oughta put me in a home?" Say, do you wanna get married and put an end to our endless regressive tendency to scorn? Provincial concepts like your dowry and your daddy's farm For love to find us of all people I never thought it be so simple Let's buy a plantation house and let the yard grow wild until we don't need the signs that say, "Keep out" I've got some money left and it's cheaper in the South I need someone I can trust to protect me from our seven daughters when my body says, "Enough!" Don't let me die in a hospital, I'll save the big one for the last time we make love Insert here a sentiment re: our golden years All 'cause I went to the store one day "Seen you around, what's your name?"
This album will have a warm spot for me for a while. It's quite the love album and I feel like it encapsulates a lifetime of personal romantic history, starting with a whirlwind romance to cynicism and ending with a sort of contentness. It's really exceptional
I remember reading a certain review of this album when the person said something like this is truly Josh Tillman. No FJM. No cynicism. No sarcasm. The only one from the album where it doesn’t contain a punchline or irony. That’s a pure genuine love song. Every time I listen to this, I get sad.
I met my partner while we were both working in the same strip mall. Every time I hear this song it cuts through me and makes me feel like the luckiest person in the world.
Whenever I hear this, I can't help but think of my ex and I. We used to be really happy together, I thought so at least. We both had shitty lives, mine was so discombobulated and unstable. Still is in a way. Earlier this year, I promised I'd come see her for her graduation since we were states away, and it was a little over a year since I saw her last. Then corona hit, I had to move to another city and now I'm trying to get my college settled because the pandemic fucked my whole flow up. I kept telling her I'd try my best to see her, and I kept working on my stuff to really get my life in order and then visit her so I can finally feel her touch again. She wanted it badly, and so did I. Eventually, she got tired of waiting. She called me and told me she needs a yes or no on seeing her, and if it's a no, then she's going to have to break up with me. I didn't want to tell her no, from the day I met her in person I fell deeply in love and I didn't want to say no. But I had to. I couldn't afford it, and I couldn't afford risking my health or hers to see her when I'm in a highly infected state. She told me she was upset because I couldn't fulfill my promise, I was upset because she didn't understand the circumstances... or maybe she didn't want to understand. I don't even know anymore. If you're reading this, I still love you. I hate that I love you because I know you managed to move on after a week, but it's hard for me to let go of nearly a year's worth of love. I hope you find your happy one and you live a good life, because I don't know what you expected from me.
If anyone is curious about the chord progression on guitar I found it to be tuned down a half step to Eb with the G string tuned down another half step so it acts as an F (Eb-Ab-Db-F-Bb-Eb). Chords to my ears are as follows: Ab6 Adim7 Eb maj Bb7-Bb6 Eb maj G min7 (#5) Adim7 Ab6
I'm not sure if I'm crying because I'll never write a song this good...or at the strange happenstance of life, love...and the inevitability of one of us passing on first......I have not heard this song without crying. I've tried six times.
Greatest album of 2015 along side To Pimp A Butterfly. And probably the greatest modern love songs written. They have it all. They're funny, sweet, and sexy. Everything you need for a great love song.
I learned to play and sing this music during this lockdown. Few years ago, what looks imposible, finally happened. I'm talking about green stars, real love (baby) and what means reborn in a half life. Yes.
I've listened to this album through and through. Thanks to sub pop; it played out over my speakers, as a cavalcade of texts played out under my breath. This album provided the soundtrack. Normally this would spur me into buying the album on itunes but I'm getting this shit on cd off insound..goddamn I love music.
It makes it better when you get on CD or vinyl because you get his wife's photography, the letters, the work outs book. This album is a true work of art.
"Nos conhecemos em um estacionamento Eu estava comprando cafe e cigarros Lenha e vinho barato antigo Mas eu ainda estou bêbado, quente, acordado e ofegante Agora em apenas um ano Eu me tornei ciumento, magro e com tendências a paranoia quando estou alto Se isso não for amor de verdade, alguém por favor me interne Me diga, você quer se casar?

Why wouldn't she like the end? We all have to die sometime; the lucky ones get to die in the arms of the one we love most
that's because he's married to the person in the song
This song is a constant reminder to appreciate the small moments in life.
Those last few lines.
"All cause I went to the store one day" gets me. Everything, all the love for his wife and all the plans he has for the future and all the struggles he's had and will have, all because of this one little moment in his life.

We met in a parking lot
Buying coffee and cigarettes
Firewood and bad wine long since gone
But I'm still drunk and hot, wide awake
Breathing hard
But now, in just one year's time
I've become jealous, rail-thin, prone to paranoia when I'm stoned
'Cause isn't true love "someone oughta put me in a home?"
Say, do you wanna get married and put an end to our endless regressive tendency to scorn?
Provincial concepts like your dowry and your daddy's farm
For love to find us of all people
I never thought it be so simple
Let's buy a plantation house and let the yard grow wild until we don't need the signs that say, "Keep out"
I've got some money left and it's cheaper in the South
I need someone I can trust to protect me from our seven daughters when my body says, "Enough!"
Don't let me die in a hospital, I'll save the big one for the last time we make love
Insert here a sentiment re: our golden years
All 'cause I went to the store one day
"Seen you around, what's your name?"
God, I wish I was Mother John Misty
Attn: Horny Police
Lol
"I've seen you around, what's your name?" is my new favorite pickup line
This song... makes me hold my chest and smile with tears in my eyes. This one might be one of his best yet. That last line. Ugh... Amazing
love it!

I will forever love this album. No one else I know knows it and I wish I had someone to share the love with

This is one of the best songs of all time
I met my partner while we were both working in the same strip mall. Every time I hear this song it cuts through me and makes me feel like the luckiest person in the world.
you are. me too. cheers to you and yours.
I just listened to this song for the very first time and I’m mad crying. This man is an absolute genius and his music is so naturally touching.
Ought to be considered one of the most important musicians of the 21st century.
Totally concur
will be, mate. give the world time.

😭 my fucking heart. 💔

Chords to my ears are as follows:
Ab6

Eb maj
Bb7-Bb6
Eb maj
G min7 (#5)
Adim7
Ab6
there is a version that puts the capo on the 3rd fret with a standart tuning. sounds exactly like the original.
I’m gonna cry in the corner...
Shawn Bay Mind if I cuddle and cry with you?
Descriptively Vague of course not, I always need a buddy when I listen to this song.
Best song on the album man
ilovejustinvernon ehh I'm partial to bored in the USA but I'll give it to you.
ilovejustinvernon disagree but still liked because I also love justin vernon
I'm not sure if I'm crying because I'll never write a song this good...or at the strange happenstance of life, love...and the inevitability of one of us passing on first......I have not heard this song without crying. I've tried six times.
It happened agaIn. Two plays in. Waterworks.
keep trying keep crying mate
Damn it, I've listened to this 20 times tonight.
MissVardiola That makes two of us, friend.
The most beautiful ilustration
Greatest album of 2015 along side To Pimp A Butterfly. And probably the greatest modern love songs written. They have it all. They're funny, sweet, and sexy. Everything you need for a great love song.
>They're
but.. but it's just one guy
+SSB4Decoder ?
Thank u
Doctor Higgins hes trying to say you used the wrong use of the word they're, but you didnt.
Love to hear that people can appreciate an album like this and also appreciate hip hop such as To Pimp A Butterfly.
I learned to play and sing this music during this lockdown. Few years ago, what looks imposible, finally happened. I'm talking about green stars, real love (baby) and what means reborn in a half life. Yes.
Hope your doing well Josh!
I wouldn’t mind dying to this song everyday for the rest of my life
I go to the store every day and this never happens to me.
I guess that's also the beauty within that song. Something glorious can happen inside something menial. But maybe, it might not
This reply made me cry more than the song lol
Romance Goals
A lyrical masterpiece
It make me cry to
I've listened to this album through and through. Thanks to sub pop; it played out over my speakers, as a cavalcade of texts played out under my breath. This album provided the soundtrack. Normally this would spur me into buying the album on itunes but I'm getting this shit on cd off insound..goddamn I love music.
why not, the CD will sound better anyway
It makes it better when you get on CD or vinyl because you get his wife's photography, the letters, the work outs book. This album is a true work of art.

DON'T LET ME IN A HOSPITAL
my life in one song.
daniel tap
"Nos conhecemos em um estacionamento
Eu estava comprando cafe e cigarros
Lenha e vinho barato antigo
Mas eu ainda estou bêbado, quente, acordado e ofegante
Agora em apenas um ano
Eu me tornei ciumento, magro e com tendências a paranoia quando estou alto
Se isso não for amor de verdade, alguém por favor me interne
Me diga, você quer se casar?
E por um fim na nossa tendência sem fim ao rancor
Conceitos eventuais como seu dote e a fazenda do seu pai?
Para o amor encontrar entre todas as pessoas
Eu nunca pensei que seria tão simples
Vamos comprar uma casa de campo
E deixar o jardim florescer até nos não precisarmos de uma placa de "não entre"
Eu tenho um pouco de dinheiro e é mais barato no sul
Eu preciso de alguém em que eu possa confiar, para me proteger das nossas sete filhas
Quando meu corpo estiver fraco não me deixe morrer em um hospital, eu salvarei minhas forças para a última vez que fizermos amor
Insira aqui, algum sentimento sobre nossos anos dourado
Tudo porque eu fui a uma loja hoje
"te vejo por aí, a propósito qual seu nome?"
I’m used to music like Death Grips but, um, well, I kind of got something in my eyes listening to this, sorry...
"I feel in love with you with this album. I was heartbroken when I found out you were already taken." - me
Cheap wine, long since gone.
becoming the lastnames moment
I want to die to this song
Watch out! White guy looking to buy a plantation house in the South.
Natanya Friedheim that's not what that means....
