Every so often, you stumble across a song that completely halts you in your tracks, floors you, turns you inside out and has you coming back for more and more. This is most definitely one of them. The emotion, the words, the vulnerability. I'm spechless.
Beauty, elegance, musicality... Love you 💙
you turn me inside out, then you want the outside in, you spin me all around, then you ask me not to spin.
So good her voice is like sonic honey.
True dat 🤟🤟💔💔❤️❤️
It's almost six am. Light is just beginning to shine. I feel lucky and blessed sitting here, hearing this amazing music making a duo with our Colombian birds who are just beginning to sing.
Wow what a mental picture that is!
yoo, 2 yrs later and im doing the same, birds starting to sing, sunlight still shy but lurking, its kinda cold, sky is changing colors and my cat just sat on my lap and then.... this song, this particular version, I feel blessed.
I've just felt that some days ago. I stumbled across this song in the beginning of my early breakfast and I was struck with delight. So calm and so beautiful, filled my soul with peace.
He just threw all that shit on the ground!
Adrianne Lenker could sing the phone book and I wouldn't be able to stop listening to it - such a glorious voice
what's a phone book?
The junk solo at 3:44 - magnificent.
Boy, that flask...just beautiful
Basically my cat. Knocking all my fucking fake fruit and stones ONTO THE FUCKING FLOOR
@@brando444 i thought the same thing! our cats are KILLING it back there
I don't even have to listen the solo to agree with you man.
@@brando444 Your cat rocks!
The part when he pushed stuff on the floor sounded so good.
This woman is pushing out some of the most original American music in years. This song is perfection.
Hard to articulate how good and important this band is.
That is the absolute dogs bollocks, utterly amazing performance, the UK loves ya!
The VERY first time I heard this song, I said to myself, "this is one of the best songs I have ever heard in my life. Top 5; EASY. ANY genre." I was hooked on Adrianne Lenker and this band from that SECOND, on, and my love for her/their artistry/everything has never relented. My family is so sick of hearing them.. but too damned bad. Can't wait 'till they reschedule their tour. And imagine the songs Adrianne is writing now, on lockdown. She's prolly got two records-worth already...
"My family is sick of hearing them". All our families!
I've been appreciating music for over 40 years and yes this is truly exceptional IMHO. My favorite band currently. Sorry must plug Frankie Cosmos too...love them almost as much...very tight band as well
Dude you were RIGHT. songs and instrumentals. Two records worth. You predicted the future my man
omg you predicted songs and instrumentals! and i’m having the same thing i’m addicted to them
@@bigdogeatmoney LOL... love it, man... here's the thing: This band - let by one-of-a-kind Adrianne - ALWAYS have 20 songs they're working on or unreleased that no one has heard yet! There's very few songwriters - EVER - that are this prolific w/ non-stop excellence. It's nothing short of INSANE.
I cannot deny it, that was the best drum solo in the history of everything!
I feel so lucky to be alive right now to hear this song.
Yusss!
What a great comment! I totally agree
Some songs go to places in your soul that you didn't realise were even there.
what the hell did I just witness... that was mesmerizing. I'll now never stop coming back to this
This guy over here playing the Junk Drawer 😂😂😂
When you're playing in the studio and you kinda wish you were playing in a saloon where hardly anyone was noticing the great shit you were making but one by one you turned some heads....
“Mom and dad
And violence (violins),
Somber country
Silence..”
Tiadiad it's violins not violence lol but that's what i thought
@@janice184
Oh cool! Good to know. Thanks:)
This is one of those songs that within the first 3 seconds I was hooked. Everything stood still and I needed to put all attention into fully absorbing the emotional energy coming from this beautiful soul.
My cat approved of the junk solo. He knocked over a glass in tribute.
5:39 The most satisfying thing I've seen in a long time...
I go back here again and again for the guy who drops stuff on the floor. Amazing!
One of the most beautiful things I've ever listened to.
Wow that was fucking beautiful.
this song made me cry hearing it on the scene in The Umbrella Academy and then reading the lyrics and hearing the track. I am deeply inspired and found an artist i've been searching for! thank you
Plenty of singers and musicians about but there's an artist.
Adrianne Lenker - Guitar/ Vocals
Buck Meek - Lead Guitar
Jason Burger - Bass
James Krivchenia - Rocks/ Waterbottle/ Fruit / Pill bottles / loose pocket change
Listening to this at the tip-top of a tower overlooking all of the Ozarks on the Fourth of July. Staring out a window, with all the lights off. Watching fireworks go off all along the horizon, all alone. I feel like I'm in the final scene of Fight Club, or Armageddon.
You just got home from war. Watching the fires of bombings and hearing the whistling of the bullets fly past your ears. Your one and only true love who stood by you for so long, now gone. You danced, you smiled, you loved, but most importantly you did it together.
Now you're back home. In the dull present with siblings who fight all the time, one half ape, one a 58 year old in a 13 year old's body, one a narcissist, one who seemingly too egotistical, one who you're stuck with because no one else can see him and one who separates herself from you all.
Lola Gray SHH I DONT WANT TO CRY AGAIN
Sounds like my siblings Jesus Christ
Who’s the narcissist
Don't lump vanya with luther and Diego even Klaus pushed her away they all made it very clear she wasn't welcome they didn't give her a choice.
Twisted Lady Studios not klaus
I just cried all the song long. Found you from The Umbrella Academy, you will stay with me for a very long time. These words bring me peace and memories with my mother. "And I know that someday sooner I'll see you but now you're out of sight..." s*it i'm cring again.
Pretty sure the percussionist is using Cinnamon Sticks. That's awesome
Good eye! Yes, James Krivchenia is using cinnamon sticks.
I find it difficult to sing this song because its so beautiful. I choke up every time. Thanks Big Thief- This song has helped me in such in indescribable way. Its like the melody and words are how I think and feel all the time; wrapped up in memories so sweet it hurts to know they're memories, but loving them all the same.
I've been to countless gigs over past few decades and the performance of this song at Deaf Instiute Manchester was one of the finest ever.
This song gets me every single time! For example, when I listen to my playlist at work I have to skip this song; I just can’t contain my tears. I’m not easily moved, but this damn song makes me feel deep melancholy even if I’m feeling fine. This is one of those things I enjoy in my own privacy.
I am very grateful to have met all of them, in fact, I even have their old touring van at my house!!
"What sort of percussion will you be using?"
"....Yes."
What do you got in the backseat of your car? You haven’t brought in the groceries yet? We’ll take it.
Burn up with the water
The floods are on the plains
The planets in a rose
Who knows what they contain?
And my brain is like an orchestra
Playing on, insane
Will you love me like you loved me in the January rain?
Mom and Dad and violins
Somber country silence
The needle stopped the kicking
The clothespins on the floor
And my heart is playing hide and seek
Wait and count to four
Will you love me like you loved me and I'll never ask for more
What did you tell me Mary
When you were there so sweet and very
Full of field and stars
You carried all of time
Oh and, heavens, when you looked at me
Your eyes were like machinery
Your hands were making artifacts in the corner of my mind
Monastery monochrome
Boom balloon machine and oh
Diamond rings and gutter bones
Marching up the mountain
With our aching planning
High and smiling
Cheap drink
Dark and violent
Full of butterflies
The violent tenderness
The sweetest silence
The clay you find is fortified
We felt unfocused fade the line
The sugar rush
The constant hush
The pushing of the water gush
The marching band
When April ran
May June bugs fly in
Push your gin Jacob
With the tired wiry brandy look
Here you go around Mary in your famous story book
We overcome the sirens
We look both left and right
And I can feel the numbness accompany my plight
And I know that someday soon I'll see you
But now you're out of sight
And you'll kiss me like you used to in the January night
What did you tell me Mary
When you were there so sweet and very
Full of field and stars
You carried all of time
Oh and, heavens, when you looked at me
Your eyes were like machinery
Your hands were making artifacts in the corner of my mind
Monastery monochrome
Boom balloon machine and oh
Diamond rings and gutter bones
Marching up some mountain
With our aching planning
High and smiling
Cheap drink
Dark and violent
Full of butterflies
The violent tenderness
The sweetest silence
The clay you find is fortified
We felt some focus fade the line
The sugar rush
The constant hush
The pushing of the water gush
The marching band
When April ran
May June bugs fly in
Push your gin Jacob
With the tired wiry brandy look
Here you go around Mary in your famous story book
Thank you.
The tears have been streaming down my face all night while I listened to this on repeat. I can’t keep them in my face. What a truly beautiful song.
Something is so emotionally beautiful about this. Almost made me cry for some reason if im completely honest. Just beautiful to me
I distinctly remember the first time I heard this song and the effect it had on me. I’ve never been the same since. This is one of the best songs of all time. I don’t care who disagrees. It’s pure art.
Hey, Universe, thanks for Adrianne and Big Thief. You did good! Xxx
Big big music from a quirky yet completely lovely band. Perfect.
One of the best songs of the year. Gotta love the percussionist, too.
The percussion sounds were inspired and took the whole performance to another level. I really like this band.
everytime this comes on i try to save it to my favorites again
Nice percusion solo :D
5:36 could be the most beautiful smile I've ever seen..
gotta love the drum solo.
No words for how powerful this song is, especially this rendition. Thank you so much, Adrianne--
So kindeness and beautiful. Thank you 💙
This song is utterly stunning and is one of the few pieces of music that can make me cry on que.
so so beautiful. Love from argentina
Never really had a song affect me like this one, and I don’t know if I ever will again. Like on a spiritual level.
A masterclass in music making.
it's not formulated. It'd be like coming up with dark matter.
Although I have known the band for years now, but this is the only song now at 26 of age, that makes me cry. And I do not know why.
John cage would be proud and it worked so well, kudos to the drummer and for the band for allowing the idea of chance music in indie rock
I can't even put into words how beautiful this song is...
what a incredible song 🤩
Jesus christ, pure perfection, that voice, the chills, the dopamine.
This is the best version of this song.
This is the first song in years I’ve wanted to memorise 🥰
She has a beautiful voice and sings with passion. I love this song.
ily girl thank u for existing ty for this song 😭
qu'est ce que j'aime sa voix !!!!!!!!!
Shuffled to this song this morning before getting up and after breakfast I heard a June bug (a huge bush cricket) chose to settle in my tiny backyard for a bit which reminds me of this song again.
Who wouldn't love the guy dropping things on the floor! Wonderful!
She's amazing.🙏❤️✨
Absolutely beautiful! Best performance of this song I have seen. Can't wait for the show in San francisco.
still the pinnacle of their songwriting ability in my eyes. just stunning.
Absolutely blown away
I love this so much

[Intro]
Burn up with the water
The floods are on the plains
The planets in rows
Who knows what they contain?
And my brain is like an orchestra
Playing on, insane
Will you love me like you loved me in the January rain?
[Verse 1]
Mom and Dad and violins
Somber country silence
The needle stopped the kicking
The clothes pins on the floor
And my heart is playing hide and seek
Wait and count to four
Will you love me like you loved me and I'll never ask for more
[Bridge]

When you were there so sweet and very

Oh and, heavens, when you looked at me

Chorus]
Monastery monochrome
Boom balloon machine and oh
Diamond rings and gutter bones
Marching up the mountain
With our aching planning, high and smiling
Cheap drink, dark and violent
Full of butterflies, the violent tenderness
The sweet asylum
The clay you find is fortified
We felt unfocused fade the line
The sugar rush, the constant hush
The pushing of the water gush
The marching band when April ran
May June bugs fly and
Push your gin Jacob
With the tired wiry brandy look
Here we go round, Mary
In your famous story book
[Verse 2]
We overcome the sirens
We look both left and right
And I can feel the numbness accompany my plight
And I know that someday soon I'll see you
But now you're out of sight
And you'll kiss me like you used to in the January night

Beautiful and magical
Jesus fucking Christ, this is so amazing! If this isn't pure and genuine art,I definitely do not know what the hell it is. I have to confess that I saw, heard indeed, on Netflix's Umbrella Academy and I instantly needed to know more about this. I'm from Brazil and it, unfortunately, is not on mainstream. But, for sure and God's sake, it should've been playing over and over again. I just loved (even more this live performance).
thats fantastic
Heartbreaking!
Isn’t it so crazy how the seemingly random junk solo matches the beat and vibe of the song so perfectly?
The first time I listened to this song I knew it was going to be my favorite song and it is
Just beautiful
Wonderful! I'll be in the audience when they take to the Garden stage at End of the road fest in a couple of weeks time. very excited am i !
Simply stunning
inspired percussion solo
Gurl, this is ART!
Utter beauty.
the percussion/junk solo is amazing.
Thank god for this song.
beautiful
