John Grant "GMF"

On "GMF", John Grant refeclets on a broken relationship with wit, heartache and verisimilitude.
Take for example the chorus:

"I am the greatest motherfucker that you're ever gonna meet
from the top of my head down to the tips of my toes on my feet
so go ahead and love while its still a crime
don't forget you could be laughin' 65% more of the time"

What separates this track from, say, a Taylor Swift break-up track, is that Grant laments on wasting his own time and addresses his own perceived shortcomings as much as he does his former partner.
When I heard "I should have practiced my scales/ I shouldn't be attracted to males", it struck an immediate chord. Each time a relationship ends I look back thinking, "Fuck--I really could have spent the time I wasted with my ex doing far more constructive things than sex and dinner dates." Take note, T Swift.

"GMF" is a refreshing take on the catharsis of a post-break up track. I'm sorry you had to go through this bad time, JG, but then again, I'm so glad you did.
