my best friend growing up, she was like my sister, would blink so loudly. i’ve still never heard someone’s eyes blink audibly. when adrianne says, “i wanna listen to the sound of you blinking” i think of her every time, my katelynn lee.
She's at a level few reach. The beauty and rawness of her music kills me everytime. She could release an album a month and it wouldn't be enough for me,
i get a deep sense of yearning everytime i listen to this song. it's the most powerful piece of art i have ever heard and i can't even do it justice by trying to put it into words. but it's my everything.
It has a lot to do with the music theory. From her lyrics that almost always follow a sad poetic type feel, from the twinkly dreamy guitar, and her beautifully shaky voice. And just the atmospheric nature of her songs. Her music is also very flexible to me in terms of feelings. It can make me feel sad, happy, nostalgic, etc. that’s what I love about Adrianne Lenker
i like to believe the universe has everything all planned out for us-if you’re going through something particularly tough it means the universe knows you’re strong enough to handle it. :) what my sister told me is that you can never say the wrong thing to the right person. it wasn’t destined to be and that’s okay. the right person will fight for you to stay. hope ur doing well !!
It will be okay. Ride it, you will hug yourself on the other side I promise. Well done for finding a safe home in this song...if it speaks to you you must listen. ❤
this song is so gut wrenching, longing and comforting at the same time. the part that gets me is “weren’t we the stars in heaven weren’t we the salt in the sea?”
as a musician and guitar player, I’m simply amazed by how talented adrianne is. not only is she playing a VERY complicated finger picking pattern with a couple of the chords being INSANELY difficult, but she’s also able to sing along so beautifully while playing it. i’ve been trying to learn this song on guitar and i can’t even comprehend how she’s able to sing while playing it. genuinely one of the greatest musicians ever to exist
Every time I try to learn an Adrianne Lenker song I always get annoyed, but it's so rewarding once I have it down pat. My last project was "Fool" off her most recent album - a lot of the timings really messed me up - but I can play it all the way through now and I love it
“i wanna witness ur eyes look in” i haven’t seen my mom face to face since i was 14 and even when i did the older i got the more she was just looking thru me and not at me, i wanna look in her eyes and feel love and connection like i did when i was a child. so real.
This song’s lyricism and imagery blow me away. I’ve always been a fan of art that offers vignettes of a life, little vibrant moments distilled into a succinct gut-punch of emotion. Adrianne uses words in a way that injects those moments into my goddamn bloodstream and i’ll never get over it. Absolutely gorgeous version of the song. Second only to the Steve Fisher cover for me.
I found this song shortly after I lost my ex. I won't get into how it ended or why, but I will say this song helped me get through it. Now, months later learning he cheated on me, used me for only my body and I also realized he was using the pain he felt from past friendships to make our relationship harder, I'm still having a hard time letting him go. I'm having a hard time hating someone who only used my for their own pleasure. I hate it. I wish I was strong enough to let go. I dream of you every single night and I don't even fight it anymore, instead I use it to cope pretending it was reality. But because of Adrianne I find it a little easier to bare with it. Her captivating lyrics hold a soothing rhythm and comfort me in a way only he could. I don't wanna be the owner of your fantasy, I just wanna be apart of your family The family we made together that died many months ago 0:54
“Then she opened up a book of poems And handed it to me Written by an Italian poet From the thirteenth century And every one of them words rang true And glowed like burning coal Pouring off of every page Like it was written in my soul From me to you” -Tangled Up In Blue, Bob Dylan. Written in my soul - that is how I feel about this song alright.
It’s time to let your feelings out. Don’t hold them in. Don’t yearn so endlessly. Brace yourself, express them, feel the greatness of this little love you hide. Then you can finally let go
This song represents pure love to me. The softness and gentleness. The love between two people who feel safe around each other. This song made me realise what i want in a relationship.
"I just wanna be a part of your family" is a perpetual gut punch lyric. There are songs and then there are pieces of music, this is nothing short of a masterpiece.
I couldn't say the words like you... The relation of the inner world to the other. It's where the self is made. Such a beautiful and humbling sharing of this.
Adrianne's music connects with me in a very unique way, it's unbelievable. English is not my first language, so just the melody of the words is stunning (I can kind of turn off the language). And when you add meaning to them... wow.
anything could have you bawling and sobbing, anything could also have you appreciate life and it's beautiful features while listening to it on your way home on the train with the sun hitting your skin, anything could have you feel less lonely while you eat dinner alone. anything could have you think about your favorite person before sleeping. anything = masterpiece
it's been a horrible month without you. I've been in the worst pain of my life. crazy, sometimes I forget how to eat or sleep, I hardly even function right. I miss you so so much. it's so weird not calling you every day, making sure you're okay, making sure i tell you that i love you, Sometimes we'd talk for hours, sometimes we'd talk for minutes, talk about all types of things. Sometimes we'd joke around, sometimes some deep conversations. To being at your house every weekend for hours on end watching one piece, to hanging out at lunch with mari and axel, to being at the park watching the view, and just talking about life and have so many ideas just bouncing back to each other. sometimes we’d just sit in silence, it would kill me to not hear your voice but i never said anything. You taught me so much this past year. You taught me how to be a woman, how to assert control. how to get better. Taught me how to deal with certain things that i wouldn’t ever know how to be deal with if you were never here. , how to block out the negativity, and all that energy I didn't need. I could go on and on forever, for all the memories we had, but damn. i think I've shared so much, it's like every time we got off the phone, the last time, the last time we talked, the last thing you said was, "I love you my beautiful angel" I love you, Yasmine. Thank you for everything..
“werent we the stars in heaven? werent we the salt in the sea? dragon in the new warm mountain, didnt you believe in me? yeah you held me the whole way through, when i couldn’t say the words like you. I was scared indigo but i wanted, i was scared indigo but i wanted too.” has me in an absolute chokehold.
I love my mom with all my heart she sacrificed her youth her life for me , what do I repay her with? Talking back, phone calls from schools, always going to alternative. My mom is a great amazing mom. She’s beautiful strong and smart. She doesn’t deserve a monster like me. She will be okay she has my sister. I pray she doesn’t end up like me give my mother the daughter she deserves.
She worked hard so you could make your own mistakes and learn how to be a better person, just like she did. That’s one of the privileges of having your own life to live, learning and growing and making the most of it. I’m a mom, and I can only imagine she just wants you to be safe and happy.
2:27 reminds me so much of my plantonic boy-girl friendship. we're eachothers best companion. it's like we were the same person. he's the other half of me.

that is the most wholesome and cute and beautiful thing i've ever read on a youtube comment. thank you for writing this!!
this is so sweet i think i would cry if someone wrote this about me
what the fuck this is the cutest comment ever
this is adorable i love humans
My ex wife used to do this too, good buddy. She called them butterfly kisses Be well be good ❤
Actually the greatest song ever written
Kinda true yeah
Better than Nick Drake's Northern sky?
Slow down cowboy. Anyone who claims that something is "the greatest" is a certified fool.
Doubt it 😂😂
@TheWisdomer few can beat Nick!
Adrianne is the songwriter of our generation.
she truly is and it's unreal to watch this unfold in real time.
She's at a level few reach. The beauty and rawness of her music kills me everytime. She could release an album a month and it wouldn't be enough for me,
she and mitski
Easily one of the greatest to ever do it
one of them
listen closely and u can hear me sobbing hysterically in the background
Sorry bud, that was actually me my b ✌️
Us at the listening party
think it was all of us
Hello friend. I hope the sadness has turned to joy
i get a deep sense of yearning everytime i listen to this song. it's the most powerful piece of art i have ever heard and i can't even do it justice by trying to put it into words. but it's my everything.

This comment ❤️
how can this song simultaneously punch me in the gut with longing and comfort
that sounds like love
😭
the line "i was scared, indigo, but i wanted to" makes me feel like i've got a pit in my stomach, i can't explain why.
Me too. I wish I had been stronger back then, stronger than my fears
been thinking it was "scared into go" this whole time oops
biggest gutpuncher was when i found out indigo was the name of her ex wife
being in the situation, conversating about a breakup and not being capable of wording while your partner can but you want to is the worst feeling
She is a master of lyrical vulnerability and strength at the same time.
crying because i’ve lost my anything
same and it was my fault I regret it every day
crying because I'll never have one

"i wanna witness your eyes looking" ... no words.
Its sad that it took us this long to give this girl the recognition she deserves.
Loved Big Thief since I heard them for the first time in 2017.
And Adrianne still deserves so so much more recognition. So under hyped
can’t let gang know i fw this
Let gang know. They ain’t gang if they don’t fw you.

Real bruv
Your profile pic being Homer Simpson makes this extra funny.
Need need to upgrade gang then. Or just share some tunes with your gf
im currently using this to get over a mental breakdown and her voice sounds like an accepting mother craddling me telling me everything will be okay
It will be okay. Ride it, you will hug yourself on the other side I promise. Well done for finding a safe home in this song...if it speaks to you you must listen. ❤

You deserve love. I hope you will find it.
I hope new videos from this particular performance show up once a week for the rest of my life.
this song means everything to me
Adriannes words and voice are pure treasure.
Generational songwriter.
I get so wrapped up in her music. Like no other.
Treasure!! ❤🔥
Agreed! I could listen to Adrianne's voice all day...
im begging for this to be released on spotify
a song so full of beauty and emotion i cannot wait to hear this live

Breathtaking and life-giving. One of my favorite artists and I feel like that will remain true for many years to come ❤
greatest musician to ever exist
“Then she opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century
And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burning coal
Pouring off of every page
Like it was written in my soul
From me to you”
-Tangled Up In Blue, Bob Dylan.
Written in my soul - that is how I feel about this song alright.
Everytime i'm listening your songs, my heart and my soul fly into an inner journey trying to help me understand who really i am. Thanks for exist.
Your music makes me feel human again 😢❤
I love how this is slightly slowed down. It gives the song that rainy day sadness type of energy. I love this.
Happy 33rd Birthday Adrianne Elizabeth Lenker!(Born July 9, 1991)😃🥳🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁🍾🥂🩵🎀🌷🌹💐👍👏🙌
Has to be the best live version I have heard.
Nick Hakim's expression in this is batshit insane, somehow gentle and strained at the same time - Gorgeous. New fan right here
It’s time to let your feelings out. Don’t hold them in. Don’t yearn so endlessly. Brace yourself, express them, feel the greatness of this little love you hide. Then you can finally let go
I will cut my hair once I’ve learned to love it
beautifully said
@@saturnisredthank you
This song represents pure love to me. The softness and gentleness. The love between two people who feel safe around each other. This song made me realise what i want in a relationship.
"I just wanna be a part of your family" is a perpetual gut punch lyric. There are songs and then there are pieces of music, this is nothing short of a masterpiece.
How do they not cry while doing this
I couldn't say the words like you... The relation of the inner world to the other. It's where the self is made. Such a beautiful and humbling sharing of this.
PLEASE PUT THIS ON SPOTIFYYYYYYY
Its diabolical how much this song destroys me and i love it
Adrianne's music connects with me in a very unique way, it's unbelievable. English is not my first language, so just the melody of the words is stunning (I can kind of turn off the language). And when you add meaning to them... wow.
„Weren’t we the stars in heaven” crushes my soul every single time, I lived through being them with a person and then I lost it.
“i was scared indigo but i wanted to, i was scared indigo but i wanted to” I CANT EXPLAIN THE DAMAGE IT HAS DONE TO ME
oh to be someone’s star in heaven and salt in the sea
could even sob to this busted into tears IMMEDIATELY 😂
I have this vision, it’s me my daughter and my husband I had this vision months ago but I vividly remember and I felt it the love the joy.
Maybe one day it’ll happen
Thank you, for making my anxiety disappear. I
i'll go crazy if this version doesn't get released on spotify
so so beautiful
ive never felt a song so deeply
i love adrianna's voice so much, oh my god
anything could have you bawling and sobbing, anything could also have you appreciate life and it's beautiful features while listening to it on your way home on the train with the sun hitting your skin, anything could have you feel less lonely while you eat dinner alone. anything could have you think about your favorite person before sleeping. anything = masterpiece
everytime i listen to this song it gets even more gut wrenching than the last
Make me cry in real time
this is a bullet to my heart
I don't think I'll be able to listen to this song without thinking of him..

I would love to see her work with Phoebe Bridgers!! ❤

I still listen to this and hope one day I can hear you sing me to sleep this way again; hate me or not it was safe and peaceful
Why does this song hurt me so much. I can quite literally smell this song
