Father John Misty - Disappointing Diamonds Are The Rarest Of Them All Lyrics






Like a pervert on a crowded bus
A glare of love bears down on us
Like a carcass left out in the heat
This love is bursting out of me

Disappointing diamonds are the rarest of them all
And a love that last forever really can't be that special
Sure we know our roles, and how it's supposed to go
Does everybody have to be the greatest story ever told?

Like an oil tanker tipped at sea
This love's contaminated me
Like a constant twitching in my eye
This love of ours will never die

Disappointing diamonds are the rarest of them all
And a love that last forever really can't be that special
Sure we know our roles, how it's supposed to go
Does everybody have to be the greatest story ever told?

Father John Misty Disappointing Diamonds Are The Rarest Of Them All Comments
  1. J.... L....

    You're all right. Elton John, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Elliot Smith,etc, influenced this. They influenced me, and I'm not a great songwriter like Father John Misty.

  2. H.... J....

    My favorite song on the album

  3. B.... ....

    Father John Misty! Cornhouse cider while the sun rises, great sounds with the shafts of light shooting into my room like heroin.

  4. D.... S....

    I need to go to school





    but I can't stop listening to this...

  5. 1.... ....

    So I'm definitely becoming my mother, but does anyone know if that floral background is an actual wallpaper pattern that I could buy from somewhere?

  6. A.... L....

    My fave song on this album 😍

  7. J.... C....

    I love you papa

  8. s.... r....

    Love this album and this song.

  9. N.... M....

    Hi, I’m father John Misty. Here’s a new record that sounds and is basically the same as the last record. Can I have your money?

  10. P.... M....

    Ca ressemble à une reprise/imitation/plagiat de Electric Light Orchestra. Sauf que John Misty n'a pas la voix de Jeff Lynne.

  11. a.... ....

    my fave of the album

  12. K.... C....

    Is it one of the unreleased songs from Beatles' Abbey Road? ;-) Fantastic!

  13. N.... B....

    This sounds like how the new QOTSA would sound if it (Villains) didn't kinda suck

  14. S.... W....

    Beatles White Album 2018. Love it

  15. A.... T....

    Please trust me Mr.Tillman it would be a great sale if u make a t-shirt merchandise with this flowery background. Same goes with the flamingo background of Just Dumb Enough to Try.

  16. S.... W....

    this album will be fantastic

  17. Y.... ....

    eliot smith like

  18. R.... C....

    I swear FJM’s discography parallels my life

  19. J.... P....

    I want that bass tone damnit.

  20. J.... L....

    It does not escape me that all of his comparisons are to things that are putrid.

  21. J.... ....

    hey everyone i'm really good at music and the one thing is louder than the other thing and i notice it because i am good at music and it is bad and it ruins it for me because i am good at music and i notice these things

    J.... ....

    Who needs perfect?

  22. P.... L....

    Melon's so wrong about this song. It's incredible with that kinda White Album vibe

  23. J.... ....

    Yes, Anthony Mist-tano(Fantano) Brought me to FJM. Love the new stuff so far. Can't wait. Mist-Tano Better give this album a 9 or 10. Do you hear FJM! ''ohhhhhoooooohooooooohoooooohoooohoo''

  24. A.... O....

    songwriter of the generation back with another gem

  25. J.... P....

    i wish i could like this song more than once

  26. L.... B....

    i know everyone keeps saying this sounds like Beatles to them, but it reads entirely as like 'Crocodile Rock' levels of Elton John to me.

  27. b.... ....

    Thank you for existing, my whiskey group introduced me to you and now I'm in for life.

  28. S.... T....

    Tillman and Morrissey are some of the very FEW artists willing to tell the ugly truth in song.  They make the medicine go down easier with beautiful melodies and music.

    S.... T....

    Sinner Train Morrissey.

  29. E.... F....

    I like Nazis more than people who yell "faggot" out of car Windows at guys with v-necks. Nazis. It is 1:28 am. I'm going to write this message on exactly 74 additional videos after this one. It's that important, trust me. This is the third one. If you find another one and feel like it, comment "fuck you, fruity piglet". V-necks are not gay and I'm 10% gay boy

  30. J.... P....

    I love FJM, but dammit I wish he would stop squealing in his songs.

  31. S.... C....

    Man...all 3 of these new songs are excellent. This album is gonna rock!

  32. A.... ....

    Anybody else getting a strong Elliott Smith vibe from this song?

    A.... ....

    AndyAsteroids A little but very much lyrically. Same cynical but intelligent style of songwriting.

  33. R.... H....

    Josh, I LOVE this track! Props to your vocal on this track. It is fearless and fantastic!

  34. e.... ....

    Catchy!

  35. T.... T....

    I hear karma police in here somewhere

  36. C.... H....

    I like the new direction - - less stark. That brief horn arrangement is very George Harrison.

  37. r.... ....

    It's almost as good as Two Years on Film haha.

    r.... ....

    Meaning, this guy was never not good.

  38. S.... B....

    ...listening to this song and imagining a music video where I have to accept that my friend (who I have a crush on)... will always be with somebody else... I’m happy for him... but I’ll just leave on my bike for them to be happy.

  39. A.... M....

    I'm sorry to say that this is really disappointing... I feel like I'm listening to the same song over and over again.
    Great lyrics as always, just write a book... This is patchwork from Pure Comedy. I'll always be a big fan of the other 3 albums. I almost feel sad...

  40. E.... G....

    This can’t be more Beatles influenced

  41. b.... ....

    When the horns come in at the end is one of the best things I've heard in my life

  42. D.... H....

    Fascinated fabulous Series.

  43. s.... ....

    💎Disappointing💍

  44. e.... ....

    go off papa

  45. M.... S....

    Has some Fiona Apple vibes and I like it.

  46. S.... L....

    the production/mixing is shit

  47. F.... C....

    Great song

  48. Y.... H....

    God damn I love Father J

  49. A.... M....

    I hope you come to Indonesia

  50. N.... M....

    Kind of the same boring shit we got last record. Well. At least there is all the good stuff from the first fjm record and past j tilman (spelling) stuff.

  51. a.... f....

    I like the song. But, it's it's either poorly mixed or upload to youtube has screwed it up. The vocals were drowned out by the instruments.

  52. D.... H....

    Fleecing comments to protect ur brand is the new punk rock.

    D.... H....

    Dixon Hand ??

  53. Z.... C....

    Very Sgt. Pepper! Love it!

  54. i.... ....

    Thinkyouknowmusic on Twitter brought me here.

  55. /.... n....

    that bass though

  56. C.... ....

    Melon gets horny listening to this

  57. M.... M....

    i love you man

  58. Q.... L....

    This song easily beats the other two for me... I love how rich the instrumentation and production for this track is. The calm horn-like sirens, vocal improvisations, and Tillman's impassioned singing.

    Q.... L....

    oddly depressing isnt it

  59. j.... ....

    This is so goddamn stellar. Please post lyrics.

  60. A.... C....

    Thanks daddy

  61. l.... r....

    i legitimately had my hair's standing from the second this song began all the way to the end holy shit

  62. G.... ....

    This sounds promising. I've always teettered on liking your music but this seems like my sweet spot. Here's to hoping anyway...so colourful!

  63. W.... ....

    this song is definitely about minecraft I caught u

    W.... ....

  72. S.... ....

    This song would sound SO GOOD with a little bit of tabla drums dipping in time with the bass. Still great though :)

  73. e.... ....

    John Lennon vibe

  74. W.... O....

    Too short!

  75. d.... ....

    The only problem I have with this song is IT ENDS.

  81. D.... D....

  83. R.... D....

    Can flub crew represent!!

  84. t.... b....

  85. W.... ....

    "Does everybody have to be the greatest story ever told?"

    Daaaaaamn, man

  86. m.... ....

    this is an anthem of our times and it starts with a pervert on a bus.

  87. J.... R....

    Beach Boys??!!???!!

  88. G.... ....

    This sounds SO much like Jeff Lynne <3

  89. x.... m....

    It's pretty good.. tho it sounds like a Beatle song..

  90. j.... ....

    I’m feeling a light to decent 9 on this song

    j.... ....

    Just leave an angry comment.

    j.... ....

    Damn... He put as it as one of the worst track of the week. Such an unpredictable melon.

  91. J.... ....

    "does everybody have to be the greatest story ever told?" he's still got it, those lyrics damn

    J.... ....

    EnosEverything your opinion isn’t fact man. Stop treating it as such please, cause that attitude of acting like your opinion is a fact is fucking ruining reality.

    J.... ....

    Oh fuck off Patrick... I'm not pretending that my opinions are facts - I'm honest enough to own up to the fact that I think something is sub-standard when all the other songs around it are fantastic IN MY OPINION...  I won't behave like a fucking sheep just because you do.

    J.... ....

    @EnosEverything True, but nobody likes people that act like how you did. Sorry mate.

    J.... ....

    Balls !!!!

    J.... ....

    @EnosEverythingbuzz it. listen to stuff. Dont worry about it.

  92. R.... B....

    Sounds like the love child of Jeff Lynne and Paul McCartney

    R.... B....

    I hear a lot of Elliott Smith’s electric albums (XO and figure 8).

    R.... B....

    It's like the bangles and slayer had a baby

    R.... B....

    Elton John Tiny Dancer

    R.... B....

    I can't help but feel like this is what The Dark Beatles would sound like

    R.... B....

    And Nilsson

  93. F.... ....

    Father John, Elton?

    F.... ....

    …madman across the water, mona lisas and mad hatters, tiny dancer…
    Glad I'm not alone to sometimes think about EJ while listening to FJM

  94. F.... J....

    Just wanted to say hey...love your work

    F.... J....

    I LOVE YOU JOSH. Been a rabid fan since Fear Fun, and your music has really gotten me through some rough years of addiction, depression, anxiety etc. On an upswing now, and this record is FUCKING PERFECT man. Haven’t been this into a rock/pop album since Elliott Smith’s foray into rock with XO and figure eight. Thank you. Thank you. ❤️😎✊️
