In a world where more and more women are spending thousands of dollars on cosmetic procedures to try to look as young and perfect as possible, this message is so refreshing and comforting to hear. Let gravity be my sculptor, let the wind do my hair ❤
Highway 17, cotton candy rain Driving with my lover, we missed our plane So we added on the hours to see the lupine flowers Wave past the border, we blew through Thunder Bay The pine trees are narrow, a billion broken arrows The ravens and the crows, robins and the sparrows All across Ontario, just static on the stereo And swimming in the lake, Old Woman Bay Traveling with some stuff I left when I was a kid Mr. Bear and the wooden box I hid Full of broken gadgets that don't mean nothing now The only thing I'll keep are the letters and the photographs In two days it's my birthday and I'll be 33 But that doesn't really matter next to eternity And I like a double number, and I like an odd one too And everything I see from now on will be something new "I'm afraid of getting older", that's what I learned to say 'Cause society has given me the words to think that way The message spins and spirals, "Don't get saggy, don't get grey" But the soft and lovely silvers are now falling on my shoulder My mother and my grandma, my great-grandmother too They wrinkle like the river, sweeten like the dew And as silver as the rainbow scales that shimmer purple blue How can beauty that is living be anything but true? So let gravity be my sculptor, let the wind do my hair Let me dance in front of people without a care Let me be naked alone with nobody there Or with mismatched socks and shoes and stuff stuffed in my underwear
I'm 65. Believe me the body may age but the soul stays young. I've fallen back in love with my first love, live music and its fantastic. Lead me to this incredible artist and song. Heartwrenching but positive.
This what this generation needs to hear, there is nothing wrong with aging, I love this song, it captures life,humans, nature and a sense of self acceptance that words can’t express, I need this in my playlist
I am 52 and have been having a massive hangup about getting older but this has changed my mindset completely. It's taught me to embrace life, ageing is inevitable, we can't change it so enjoy it. With age comes wisdom and a beauty within
age is so beautiful and im so tired of it being the meaning of everything to be soft and young. i want to be torn and craggled and my eyes to dissappear when i smile a mouth full of old cracked teeth. age is just the marks of everything ive loved, how many thousands of times ive smiled, how many times ive raised my eyebrows in shock or crinkled my nose in anger. age is my reward for not losing myself along the way. age teaches and nurtures and helps me let go. i get excited when i realize im sprouting grays, or the crinkles in my forehead stay a few seconds too long. i look like my heroes as i age. i will be a beautiful old man and nurture people like me.
always makes me cry, it encapsulates such a nostalgic feeling but also radical acceptance... making peace with getting older, loving life as it is. when I start thinking about the future I feel kind of sad because I will miss everything I have right now... but I guess that makes me appreciate life even more. anyway, i love this song
this song makes me realize that i only ever live once. Why am I worrying about what other people think about me when im only 13? I have my whole life ahead of me, why should I even care about that?
@@MitchHaddad Not sure why Max left, the band only stated that he left for "interpersonal reasons" and I don't want to speculate about those reasons. Also, I definitely agree with the Helpless vibes!
Just turned 79. My granddaughter sent me this link. ❤️
awww
I sent this to my mom and she loved it too ❤
literally can't wait to have this on Spotify and add it to all of my playlists
😊
dude I check spotify EVERY DAY
@@prepare2dii she has a lot of unreleased songs that usually just stay as concert song like this one sadly
@@Girlypop58 💔THIS is a tragedy
Same here 😢 hopefully it releases there
“how can beauty that is living be anything but true?” i love you adrianne lenker
Big thief.. it’s big thief 😭
@@alainag1299 adrianne writes majority of the lyrics

@@alainag1299who do you think the vocalist and lyricist of big thief is
@@amsi4087ok so I just found out I’m in shambles

Highway 17, cotton candy rain
Driving with my lover, we missed our plane
So we added on the hours to see the lupine flowers
Wave past the border, we blew through Thunder Bay
The pine trees are narrow, a billion broken arrows
The ravens and the crows, robins and the sparrows
All across Ontario, just static on the stereo
And swimming in the lake, Old Woman Bay
Traveling with some stuff I left when I was a kid
Mr. Bear and the wooden box I hid
Full of broken gadgets that don't mean nothing now
The only thing I'll keep are the letters and the photographs
In two days it's my birthday and I'll be 33
But that doesn't really matter next to eternity
And I like a double number, and I like an odd one too
And everything I see from now on will be something new
"I'm afraid of getting older", that's what I learned to say
'Cause society has given me the words to think that way
The message spins and spirals, "Don't get saggy, don't get grey"
But the soft and lovely silvers are now falling on my shoulder
My mother and my grandma, my great-grandmother too
They wrinkle like the river, sweeten like the dew
And as silver as the rainbow scales that shimmer purple blue
How can beauty that is living be anything but true?
So let gravity be my sculptor, let the wind do my hair
Let me dance in front of people without a care
Let me be naked alone with nobody there
Or with mismatched socks and shoes and stuff stuffed in my underwear
Thank you!
Thank you. I read this sometimes and sing along when I'm in my bed at night
@@nbarrasseu speak for all of us 🙏
I don’t have anyone to talk about this with
Hey, wasn't this such a great video of a beautiful song?
tell me about what this song feels like to you lauren, i think it fucking rocks
yes you do
Me neither, it's so sad to think how slow life thinkers are so rare to find irl. Internet is such an amazing tool, yet so wrongly used.
“Slow life thinker,” love this way of putting it. Totally me.

Thank you for liking young music, so many old folks don’t! I’ll be like that when I’m older. :)

I will be 50 in December. Heard Big Thief for the first time earlier this year. Found this song a week or so ago. I LOVE IT! Mazzy Star sequel.
Except better! ☺️

its such a beautiful thing to grow older
Aw
i just know you are beautiful inside and out
You are beautiful
Getting older is the goal. It's better than the alternative.
i’d pay good money to have this in spotify
maybe learn how to rip MP3s from youtube and give the good money directly to big thief
I love this song, I wish more people would sing this way about getting older.

you're gonna make me cry. Beutiful words
brb checking spotify every single day for this
I need to give her soul a hug, she grants us with so much love.
Autum is such a great time for a new Big Thief album!
Can't help but crying every time I listen
SAME
I am in tears hearing this for the first time through fully.
omg. i need this on spotify yesterday
I was there and I cried so hard when I heard this song 😭
I sobbed too when I heard it at Gunnersbury park a few days later. So so beautiful
I cried my little eyes out in Antwerp..
always makes me cry, it encapsulates such a nostalgic feeling but also radical acceptance... making peace with getting older, loving life as it is. when I start thinking about the future I feel kind of sad because I will miss everything I have right now... but I guess that makes me appreciate life even more.
anyway, i love this song
Haha maybe onto my 7th rewatch today
The moment this is on spotify I will be listening on repeat
This song has me on the verge of tears
I did cry
tears in my incomprehensible eyes
I prefer odd numbers to even ones- even ones feel like they have sharp corners. Great song , many thanks
She never fails to make something beautiful
She's gifted, talented and lovely.
Once again, Adrianne Lenker gets me like no one else before
I’m sooo in love with this song ❤

this song makes me realize that i only ever live once. Why am I worrying about what other people think about me when im only 13? I have my whole life ahead of me, why should I even care about that?

No encuentro esta joya en ninguna plataforma
KH MY GOD
HERE COMES A REGULAR - THE REPLACEMENTS
1:59
Where did the full set video go?
@@veithkilbert4253 It got blocked, sadly.
@@directamplification damn, I wonder why 🧐
@@directamplification can't you upload the rest of the songs individually? And not get them removed.
Why can't I find a non live version of this song?
It hasn't been released yet. That was like their third time playing it to an audience.
crying like a baby
Did they change the bass guy out?
@@MitchHaddad Yeah. Their old bassist, Max, left the band a few months ago. The new bass player, as seen in this video, is called Justin Felton.
@@directamplification and I see they added a drummer. I didn’t know if any of this was permanent or not. Any tea on why max left ?
Beginning give me Neil young-helpless vibes
@@MitchHaddad Not sure why Max left, the band only stated that he left for "interpersonal reasons" and I don't want to speculate about those reasons. Also, I definitely agree with the Helpless vibes!
