Everyman Needs a Companion Lyrics
Someone to turn his thoughts to
I know I do
Everyman needs a companion
Someone to console him
Like I need you
Down to the river on a Friday night
They talked about Mary like a couple of boys
With nothing to lose
Too scared to try
Someone to turn his thoughts to
I know I do
Everyman needs a companion
Someone to console him
Like I need you
Couldn't give me a myth
So I had to write my own
Like I'm hung up on religion
Though I know it's a waste
I never liked the name Joshua
I got tired of J
Someone to console him
Like I need you
"I never liked the name Joshua, I got tired of J..."
It totally gutted me that he ended the album like that. Basically what the whole Father John Misty thing is about: self-loathing, self-deprecation, self-frustration, and realizing how selfish it is to have all that emotion directed at no one but yourself.
Whoa, I think you're off here. I don't get that feeling at all. I think he just really never liked his name and was looking for an opportunity to reinvent himself and be his own man (so to speak). Especially after leaving the Fleet Foxes. He wanted to create a mythical version of himself. And Father John Misty definitely fits the bill.

I agree with the OP. And I think the albumclub is says they disagree, but the content of your rebuttal actually supports the OP.
