Father John Misty Shares Video for “I Love You, Honeybear”
After teasing it over the weekend, Father John Misty, aka Josh Tillman, has delivered a video for the title track on his new album I Love You, Honeybear. In the release, Tillman says: “Here’s the video for “I Love You, Honeybear” starring Brett Gelman and Susan Traylor. It’s a portrayal of an average night in the lives of two EMTs.”
“I Love You, Honeybear” is not the cheeriest of songs, none of FJM’s songs are terribly cheery. It’s about pledging one’s love in a time of ruin. The corresponding video is heartbreaking. Directed by Grant James, who also teamed with Tillman on “This is Sally Hatchet” and “Funtimes in Babylon”, the visual finds Tillman and his wife Emma the victims of what we believe is a carbon monoxide or gas leak. A couple of boozing EMTs are called to the scene and you can see how things pan out by watching the gorgeously shot video below.
Father John Misty continues his touring ways on June 24, recently adding stops at Seattle’s Capitol Hill Block Party (July 26th), Boston Calling (September 26th), and San Francisco’s Treasure Island Festival (October 18th) to his schedule. He’ll be back in New York to play Central Park Summerstage on August 5. See all dates below.
