Father John Misty\u2019s fourth album God\u2019s Favorite Customer<\/em> is right around the corner, and ahead of its Friday, June 1 release via Sub Pop and Bella Union, the artist legally known as Josh Tillman has shared the fourth single and second video from his new record, the grim but ultimately hopeful \u201cPlease Don\u2019t Die.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The single\u2019s stop-motion video is Tillman\u2019s second collaboration with director Chris Hopewell, who also helmed the video for \u201cThings It Would Have Been Helpful to Know Before the Revolution<\/a>,\u201d off Tillman\u2019s 2017 LP Pure Comedy<\/a><\/em>. The darkly comic \u201cPlease Don\u2019t Die\u201d video, like the \u201cMr. Tillman<\/a>\u201d video before it, finds Tillman holed up in a hotel, this time on \u201cone more wasted morning\u201d he spends wallowing in sorrow and substances in the wake of an unbearable heartbreak. His \u201cjoyless joy ride\u201d takes him beyond rock bottom and into the earth, where Tillman boards the equivalent of Charon\u2019s ferry, fraternizes with the dead and marches to the edge of his own grave. Only an almost Princess Leia-like warrior princess is able to save him from his fate\u2014and from himself\u2014personifying the caring voice in the song who implores Tillman\u2019s narrator, \u201cYou\u2019re all that I have, so please don\u2019t die \/ Wherever you are tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
