Riff: Father John Misty – “Holy Shit”

Feb 11, 2015

Age-old gender roles/Infotainment, capital/Golden bows and mercury/Bohemian nightmare, dust bowl chic/This documentary’s lost on me/Satirical news, free energy/Mobile lifestyle, loveless sex/Independence, happiness

from Holy Shit lyrics by Father John Misty

Complimenting as a one-two falling action punch w/ the brilliant “Bored in the USA,” Tillman posits a series of confounding societal contradictions, pitting endless barometers of intelligence and happiness against the forever existential question of what the hell it all means for love and mankind.
