Father John Misty Shares Heartbreaking Video for "I Love You, Honeybear"

New MusicEllen WilsonComment

Father John Misty has released a soul-crushing new video for the title track to this year’s standout album I Love You, Honey Bear, which was co-directed by Josh Tillman himself as well along with longtime collaborator Grant James.

Tillman describes the video as “an average night in the lives of two EMTs,” portrayed by comedians Brett Gelman (The Other Guys) and Susan Traylor (Greenberg), who go from being drunk and high in the back of an ambulance to getting called to the scene of an emergency. The victims, played by Tillman and his wife Emma (who also co-wrote the song), are seen peacefully sleeping through a gas leak. Check out the video in its entirety below.

I Love You, Honeybear, is out now on SubPop.
