Father John Misty is back already with another track from his long-awaited new LP Pure Comedy.
"Ballad Of The Dying Man" follows "Two Wildly Different Perpsectives", lead cut "Pure Comedy", Misty's looong essay, and a 25-minute short film.
The track, about deathbed regret, is led by duelling keys and guitars which gradually ramp up and collide with a choir in a gorgeous, emotional climax.

- Pure Comedy
- Total Entertainment Forever
- Things It Would Be Helpful to Know Before the Revolution
- Ballad of the Dying Man
- Birdie
- Leaving LA
- A Bigger Paper Bag
