- I absolutely loved this more relaxed version of "Blue Lightning" from Big Thief's new Album "Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You" that Adrienne sang today while on Instagram Live and thought I'd edit it into a little lyric video. This isn't for any monetary use to I hope I'm not stepping on any toes! Just loved this version so much and thought it would be nice to upload for other people to enjoy it too.
This is the best thing I’ve ever seen. So calming
I’m something of a dopamine vampire when it comes to music...but....there’s something about this song that keeps me coming back. I play this song every day on my acoustic and it just always seems to give me goosebumps. I don’t really relate to the lyrics all that much but, my God, does this song makes me feel ‘something’. I guess it’s that ‘something’ we’re all searching for in life...beauty, contentment, beautiful intuition, who knows?! All I know is that this song and its wisdom directs me to a place that is hard to access without it. Simply gorgeous. Thank you to Adrienne and the guys for bestowing this beauty upon us x
I was a bit lukewarm on this song till I heard this, love the stripped back version. Such potent lyrics. Wow.
I felt very much the same. Thank you!
Never take this down. I've listened hundreds of times
I never will ❤️ I love this performance of hers so much. I'm so glad to share so you and other people can enjoy it as much as I did
One
One, two
One, two
Blue lightning was an autograph
Signin' up the sky
To the question I had to ask
She only answered, "Why?"
Angelia took a photograph
The moment had to die
Years later, like an epitaph
We read it and we cry
This mornin' I went to have a bath
The water ran dry
Clear warnin', has it come at last?
The time to say goodbye
Can we make love, can we hold fast?
I really wanna try
Two-eyed lie, is it fight or fly?
I wanna be the shoelace that you tie
'Til the end, will you be my friend?
I wanna be the wrinkle in your eye
Yeah, I wanna be the vapor gets you high
Blue heron, now you're scarin' me
You circle and dive
Blue angel, yeah, you're in my dreams
Swearin' every night
And a spider just beside her, larger than a hill
And it's plain to see if she don't comfort me
The rattlesnake will
Two-eyed lie, is it fight or fly?
I wanna be the wrinkle in your eye
'Til the end, will you be my friend?
I wanna be the shoelace that you tie
Yeah, I wanna be the vapor gets you high
Two-eyed lie, is it fight or fly?
I wanna be the shoelace that you tie
'Til the end, will you be my friend?
I wanna be the mountain, kiss the sky
Yeah, I wanna be the vapor gets you high
Yeah, I wanna feel so happy that I cry
Yeah, I wanna be the shoelace that you tie
Yeah, I wanna live forever 'til I die
Yeah, I wanna live forever 'til I die
Yeah, I
Hm (one hundred percent, okay)
(What should we do now?)
This is really nice. Thanks!
This is gorgeous! I don't have IG so I appreciate this being shared here. Plus, the visualizer with lyrics is appreciated! ~I never really knew what she was saying in the beginning of the chorus lol
Thank you for this. Do you have any other capture from this performance, I heard she did Once a Buncha Times !
I unfortunately do not 💔
Anyone have any idea what the chords of this version are?
seems like D standard, but I tried and it’s feels not quite right
@@TyapuginI’d love to figure it out
@@obsidianman50 do the ring finger fretting from the g chord on the c too. for me it sounds better to add the pinky too cause on my guitar the first string rings out a little too loud unfretted, but she doesn't do it here
@@TyapuginD standard works, just use capo on 1. the chords are G, C, D in the same fretting as C for the verse, traditional D shape for the chorus
Amazing recording. As best as I can figure it:
She’s playing in standard but de-tuned a half step. No capo
Verse is G, D (054030), C
Chorus is D (regular), C, G
yo pls turn off ads on this, you say it’s not for monetary use but clearly there is ad revenue being generated. putting it at risk of removal 😢
adrianne also wouldn’t like it this way
I'm so sorry, I didn't even realise they were turned on 😢 I have no idea how to turn them on or off, but I'll look now and figure it out. Thanks for flagging! I definitely am getting no money from this.
Update: I've just had a look and you can only turn off ads if you are a CZcams Partner (I am not) - which means ads cannot be disabled (it all goes to CZcams, not me). Sorry ☹️
