Something so deeply resonates with every unbound sincere emotion in this heartbreakingly beautiful song, in its most fragile, most vulnerable moment it can be just as crushingly painful as much as almost spiritually liberating. Although late to discovering the sheer magic of, Angel Olson, everything by her I've heard shimmers with glittering hope, as much scalds with such shattering, personable pain. Sister, a song that has and can have endless interpretations, to me, is the perfect ode to that harrowing silence between those ever effacing moments of unfiltered, raw realization of where lies truly your reason to live, what/who you can really never stop craving for.... As time goes on, as you learn to act mature, and life grinds you down, it's just those few fleeting effacive moments you fill up on some will to live when you look without holding back at what/who you're running away from. Even for the briefest time, it makes everything worth suffering for, every price worth paying.. On every consecutive listen, something more or different emerges from getting submerged in the poignant landscape of this sublime artistic work, wrapped in its many emotional layers are experiences that feel so real whether lived or not... :)
I love how watching her music videos feels like you're viewing a very intimate part of her soul. Her emotions are raw and you glimpse a bit of her personality and it's addicting
I had an out of body experience when she and the Big Time Band performed this in Durham on Saturday, especially during the guitar solo towards the end. These are the sort of musical experiences I live for.
After she came out as gay I really have a different feeling listening to this. It's like she was really torn between the two. Especially with the line "all my life I thought I'd change" 😭 makes me more emotional ❤️
@@honeyglisten I.started crying. As a lesbian woman who has been listening to her music for 2 years now this is something that makes me so happy to know.
Hmm I was wondering if she played guitar on this one checked Wikipedia and it says vocals but nothing about guitar ..but then no other musicians are listed there at all so maybe she plays everything?
This music never disappoints me. I've been listening to music for 3 hours, and I chose you to finish my session. The progression of this music is just a piece of art. And the ending, 6:01 , literally gives me goosebumps. From head to toes. You are a F* beast! 👏🏻
I've had her new album on high rotation for the last two weeks, and the vibe reminds me of The Velvet Underground - Mazzy Star - and even Fleetwood Mac!. There's even some dream pop on it - got to say my fav album of this year. So depressed about David Bowie dying, and along comes Angel to heal. Love the way it's in two halves - with the more restrained music at the end, an old Bowie trick.
So I’m a huge Hendrix, Rush, Band Maid, Heart fan. Your music is really beautiful. Your voice has some really deep soul. I just checked my Ticketmaster app and I don’t see you coming to the DC area. Please do…you are extremely beautiful and I would love to just hear your voice for a few hours live. Thank you
I saw it in her eyes All it wasn't what she said She came together like a dream That I didn't know I had From the sleeping life I lead All the colours I've seen I can't help but recognize The brighter one in front of me Oh the truth I thought I learned And then it finally came along Turned around and then it's there All the love I thought was gone I want to know you I want to show you I want to be there I want to see her Piece us together Know it's forever Show me the future Tell me you'll be there I want to go where Nobody knows fear I want to follow My heart down that wild road Everywhere I go I can see your face Alive and gone at once Hey, it's the way I see this place And though this blessing was a curse Before I opened up my heart You learn to take it as it comes You fall together, fall apart I want to know you I want to show you I want to be there I want to see her Live it through your eyes Piece us together Know that this wild road Will go on forever I want to live life I want to die right Next to you All my life I thought I'd change
I just discovered Angel today and have been going through her songs. There is something so totally hypnotic about her vocal style. Kinda of like the female version of Chris Isaak.
This song came to be my song of the decade. The crescendoing instrumental, the final release with the above mentioned solo peaks as the lyrical momentum is built upon self realisations. Thank you Angel Olsen for creating this masterpiece.
I really thought this song was about becoming and loving ourselves. About arriving at ourselves. And wanting to change and not being able too I’ll keep that version in my heart :)
Not only is the song and lyrics pure pefection,.. the movie maker simply is on another level!!! Great DoF, cuts and a amazing sense for detail!! I salute you and hope you are doing well!!
the first three mins im thinking mmm ok this is nice. then somewhere between 3:00-4:00 she takes it somewhere heavenly. she transforms the nice into the gorgeous.
My God! I already thought this movie was beautiful without watching the video, but now I think it is just perfect. The photography is so neutral to look at and Angel makes this video great every time she appears on screen
God, thank you, I found this gal's voice through the grimoire of decadence, she's incredible, her voice is between an Enochian Angel, and a murdered heart raptured in guilt! I hope to see her in Louisville, Kentucky, December 10!
“All my life I thought I’d change” hits so hard like- I know sis.
Damn... came here to say this
I love how she just totally describes my experience of realising that I was in love with a woman so effortlessly and accurately
Yes. Such pain and pleasure knowing I was in love with my friend. But alas.....
So its not about... a sister...? lol
@@taunichereeshe doesn't have a sister lmao
"All my life I thought I'd change".. its such a pleasure to listen to this song
a lil Fleetwoodmaction!
Played this at my wife's memorial service. Gives me chills everytime I hear it.
I will always support Angel. She is proof that we have contemporary artists fit to become legends. Woman of my heart!
This is honestly just one of the best songs ever written "All this blessing was a curse, before I opened up my heart"
Agreed!
Yes girl omg chills
I spent the whole of Sunday, 15th November 2020 listening to Angel Olsen... its was a great day!
I love that!

Beautifully said
@@jrw1524 thanks!
I hope Angel Olsen decides to act in films one day.
Probably one of the best songs ever written
I love how watching her music videos feels like you're viewing a very intimate part of her soul. Her emotions are raw and you glimpse a bit of her personality and it's addicting
If someone told me I could only listen to one song for the rest of my life, I think it'd be this one.
what about heart shaped face
So many great songs on the album I think
It's really a mystery how anyone could break this girl's heart
It was me.
dang it I wish this beautiful human being knew how much her fans loved her
Transformative song, tears falling out of eyes on the last half. Im on this journey with you Ms Olsen.
How do I live in a world where not every human knows she’s already iconic
Somebody please help me. I just can't stop listening to this song over and over again.
I had an out of body experience when she and the Big Time Band performed this in Durham on Saturday, especially during the guitar solo towards the end. These are the sort of musical experiences I live for.
Yeah I had a similar experience when she was performing with Big Time Rush. Was just constantly throwing up. It was cathartic and magic.
The progression of this song is amazing. You've done it again, Angel.
I’m convinced Angel Olsen is the reincarnation of a Goddess who graces the world with her voice and presence.
We rly need to protecc her at all costs
My favorite song from Angel Olsen and how lucky am I that this song is 8 minutes
I'm crying while listening to this song... A deep feeling of longing.
This may be Angel's best album yet and that is saying something. I can't wait.
it is
It is. It's amazing. One of the best albums of the year.
check out Globelamp - The Orange Glow
I've heart it. It is good, some tracks stand out. But IMO it isn't the best one
That is of course purely opinion! My personal favourite will always be halfway home
cant tell u how many times ive watched this.............. everytime it males emotional...............her power..
*females* emotional
After she came out as gay I really have a different feeling listening to this. It's like she was really torn between the two. Especially with the line "all my life I thought I'd change" 😭 makes me more emotional ❤️
I never thought about it that way. The lyrics of this song perfectly describe the feeling of being queer 😔💛
WHAT???? SHE IS WHAT??? you are going to gime me the best news of my life if she is
@@cecilia1171 she is!! She posted about it on her Insta. Her partner uses they/them pronouns ☺️
@@honeyglisten I.started crying. As a lesbian woman who has been listening to her music for 2 years now this is something that makes me so happy to know.
The part where she just lets loose on the guitar is absolute bliss
Hmm I was wondering if she played guitar on this one checked Wikipedia and it says vocals but nothing about guitar ..but then no other musicians are listed there at all so maybe she plays everything?
10 out of 10 song though and I hardly rate anything a 10
@elle 👽 well sounds great either way
I think the meaning of the song is that you must be happy with who you are now, you are going to change but you are also perfect now at this moment.
Amazing point of view, you're absolutely right. Sometimes you live your life fighting your own, trying to be somebody else...
This music never disappoints me. I've been listening to music for 3 hours, and I chose you to finish my session. The progression of this music is just a piece of art. And the ending, 6:01 , literally gives me goosebumps. From head to toes.
You are a F* beast! 👏🏻

you pretty much summed up all my thoughts.
I'll take that :)
Her smile at the end makes me so happy

I saw it in her eyes
All it wasn't what she said
She came together like a dream
That I didn't know I had
From the sleeping life I lead
All the colours I've seen
I can't help but recognize
The brighter one in front of me
Oh the truth I thought I learned
And then it finally came along
Turned around and then it's there
All the love I thought was gone
I want to know you
I want to show you
I want to be there
I want to see her
Piece us together
Know it's forever
Show me the future
Tell me you'll be there
I want to go where
Nobody knows fear
I want to follow
My heart down that wild road
Everywhere I go
I can see your face
Alive and gone at once
Hey, it's the way I see this place
And though this blessing was a curse
Before I opened up my heart
You learn to take it as it comes
You fall together, fall apart
I want to know you
I want to show you
I want to be there
I want to see her
Live it through your eyes
Piece us together
Know that this wild road
Will go on forever
I want to live life
I want to die right
Next to you
All my life I thought I'd change
💙
I love it to hits.
Thanks to Angel and God for this 8:41 minutes of eargasms.
I just discovered Angel today and have been going through her songs. There is something so totally hypnotic about her vocal style. Kinda of like the female version of Chris Isaak.
Damn this song nudged me from casual to committed fan. Buying this album. With money.
as opposed to chewed gum and number two pencils?
💘
I missed this kind of music in 2016. That guitar solo restored my faith in music.
This kind of music became quite widespread in 2016, and since then it's grown further. Lovely stuff.
This song came to be my song of the decade. The crescendoing instrumental, the final release with the above mentioned solo peaks as the lyrical momentum is built upon self realisations. Thank you Angel Olsen for creating this masterpiece.
I really thought this song was about becoming and loving ourselves. About arriving at ourselves. And wanting to change and not being able too
I’ll keep that version in my heart :)
This song is magical.
this is what heartbreak sounds like and I can’t stop
This is such a beautiful song, audibly and emotionally, thank you.
This so Fleetwood Mac! I love it x
Funny you say that. She's always reminded me not of Stevie Nicks, but rather Christine McVie.
Finally some good music from a real artist.
T_T cannot wait to see her in santa cruz its been so long!
her voice is so unique and pretty
There is something so special about Angel. Can't wait to see her in Montreal in Dec!
It is a crime to dislike this song and video. How can anyone dislike it?
She is so beautiful and talented.
Not only is the song and lyrics pure pefection,.. the movie maker simply is on another level!!! Great DoF, cuts and a amazing sense for detail!!
I salute you and hope you are doing well!!
This might be the best yet
One of the best songwriters in the world right now.
very beautiful song .....don't cry because you are fantastic Angel..merci for your pretty voice!
the first three mins im thinking mmm ok this is nice. then somewhere between 3:00-4:00 she takes it somewhere heavenly. she transforms the nice into the gorgeous.
Moi Aussi!!!
LOVE THAT LAURA PALMER SMILE.
I really hope this summer is a good one
Arrepiei aqui
This song has a very strange... nervous calmness to it. Like someone calming themselves down after an emotional breakdown.
That was explained perfectly
Spot on.
Great analysis
RIP "Sister"(Pattie Wren...
@@JackieJustice p
This song will forever hold a special place in my heart as I was listening to this during my short stay in South Africa,
This just has to be easily her best song. So many emotions here... always makes me cry
This is simply one of the greatest things in music of the past 10 years.
My God! I already thought this movie was beautiful without watching the video, but now I think it is just perfect. The photography is so neutral to look at and Angel makes this video great every time she appears on screen
best thing is she directed and edited this video. its her vision.
This is such a great and beautiful song💕🌙💋
How lovely. Soul of Roy Orbison vision of O'Keefe, voice of an......Angel.
this music video is simply too good
I really love that you included the two guys who were like "are you shooting a music video???"
Some of the best music is coming from this artist...now and then.
This song is brilliant!!!!!!!! !! I'm obsessed with "Intern" and this one seems to be my next obsession :)
You'll move onto "Woman" soon, or at least I did.
Same
'Not gonna kill you', that's the one. Nothing else comes close to that.
I love the whole album, I listened to it more than any other album this year
Intern is such a mesmeric song!
I am seeing Angel live on Friday. I already find it hard to sleep. I am so excited!
me too! :)
I love your shoes. I already noticed that you have a particular take on the shoes on the tiny desk concert, shoes, wow.
If you asked me what would be one of the best songs evereverever... LOVE
beautiful, creative and inspiring
THE MVP OF 2016: Angel Olsen.
Still my song in 2024 but in a whole new way 🎉❤
She's amazing. Wow. Can't wait for this record to drop.
heart-wrenching, mortal, mournful
God, thank you, I found this gal's voice through the grimoire of decadence, she's incredible, her voice is between an Enochian Angel, and a murdered heart raptured in guilt! I hope to see her in Louisville, Kentucky, December 10!
I love this song. Everything about it is so beautiful
Reminds me of the music my mum liked when I was little in the 90's. I love it!
September 2 can't come soon enough. My most anticipated album of the year!!!!
i love this! i need the album already
it leaked like two weeks ago. it's amazing
alvareo92 do you have a link?? i need it!
Eduardo Arroyo look for it on your favourite torrent site (it's on TPB for one!)
I hope you will still buy the album. She deserves that much at least instead of pirating her music
Oi Heston, it might be ok for you baldy but some of us cant afford to pay for music and pay for fancy 3-figure tasting menus too, mate.
It's a sad night but now it's a beautiful sad night
Single of the year.
pure emotions..thank you!
If I could wake up and be anyone tomorrow it would be Angel Olsen. Such a beautiful beautiful beautiful human being ~~~
angel is so awesome
So beautiful
The most intense 8 minutes of my day. such a brilliant music and video!
why do i always end up crying listening to angel olsen, damn
Idk what she's singing about, but why is it so mesmerizing!?
The smile
the entire album is great - she writes as well as she sings, and that's really saying something
LP on its way. The analogue queen.
The bass line on this has a very Fleetwood Mac - Dreams vibe. I wonder if this song was partially borne from her Dreams cover?
yeah, i can see what you mean
I thought the exact same thing!
She’s absolutely gorgeous
Every song on this album so far she has knocked it out the park. Come on September 2nd!
Jesus. What a tune.
This is superb
Solo at the end gives me chills everytime
Loved her live performance of this song at Brooklyn Steel, NY.
I love you, Angel!
i cant hear this song without crying
