"I Guess Time Just Makes Fools of us All" comes from Father John Misty's Mahashmashana, released in November 2024, and the title alone sets the mood: wry, rueful, grandly resigned. Josh Tillman wrote the words and music and produced it with Drew Erickson, and they dressed it in brass and strings, with Tony Barba on saxophone, Wayne Bergeron on trumpet, Steve Holtman on trombone, Danielle Ondarza on French horn and Christine Kim on cello. Michael Harris engineered it and mixed it with Jonathan Wilson. The whole thing swaggers like a lounge act booked for the end of the world, horns flaring while the joke lands on everybody.
