Nancy From Now On
Father John Misty Lyrics

Oh, pour me another drink
And punch me in the face
You can call me Nancy
Every man wears a symbol
And I know I have mine
I've got my right hand stamped
In the concentration camp where my organs scream "slow down, man"

Ooh, flowers and bows
Milk and honey flow
Just a couple states below

Ooh

Oh, hook me up to the tank
And roll me to the door
I'm going where my body leads me
I can fend for myself
With what looks I have left
I'll put away a few
And pretty soon I'll be breaking things I have of you

Ooh, flowers and bows
Milk and honey flow
Just a couple states below

Ooh, give me how it was
A place under the sun
Before the devil made me run
Run boy, run boy

Ooh

I was listening to this from a small hi-fi in the bathroom at 3:00am in rural South India over a hole in the ground while having the most horrific diarrhea of my life. Many questions came to mind when I first heard this - mainly why God had cursed my gastrointestinal system to such a horrid degree. Also, I wondered how a DJ in the middle of nowhere in South India had come upon Father John Misty and bestowed their lovely sounds upon me.

This music video makes a lot of sense to me. She came into his life and changed who he was as a person, when she saw him new and improved with other people it drove her crazy and in the end they're pulled towards each other again.

Nah. She's insecure af and used this dominatrix bit to make herself feel worthy of him/every emotional power over him.
You see eat the end he's fantasizing about the blond from the bar when he's in bed with his wife (after having fetched coffee for her.)

woah

That's pry true, but I see it more about how ,even tho she dominates dudes, she still wants a good man, like any other woman.

When i see this video it reminds me of the lyrics of Chateau Lobby, 2:09 "First time, you let me stay the night despite your own rules
You took off early to go cheat your way through film school
You left a note in your perfect script: "Stay as long as you want"
I haven’t left your bed since"

Every song by FJM that I've heard (I just recently discovered him, thanks YouTube recommendation!) is stuck in my head, all day, every day. With The Hollies "The Air that I Breathe" thrown in. I'm wondering if I could benefit from therapy or perhaps just enjoy the voices/songs in my head.

I think a lot of people in the comments are missing the fact that in the video he doesnt want any of this. She changed him into her image of what he should be. She controls his life behind closed doors and I think he wishes for the scene at the end where they both seem equal and peaceful. Where power isn't a factor.

This is my take on the whole video: The girl was in a dominatrix outfit at the start. This makes me think that they're in an abusive relationship. The guy loved her, however, and lets her does what she wants to him. After a while the girl breaks up with him because he wasn't fun to abuse anymore. Later on, the girl meets the guy again in a bar. Seeing him flirt with other women and being actually happy reminds her of the memories where she wasn't abusive, and regrets breaking up with him.
