I felt that too. It's an exchange of silence hes worried about the tuning and she doesn't say anything. Shes worried about her proximity and he doesn't say anything.
everything’s moving so fast that I realise I wish I was more prepared and I wish I did so many things differently and I wish someone taught me how to be grown
I love Adrianne’s soft harmonisations. Tentative because she understands how delicate this special moment is and yet she cannot help but feel she becomes one with the music. Amazing.
idk why but the "i don't wanna be part of your fantasy, i just wanna be part of your family" bit made me cry out of nowhere. i love being a human i love being alive.
Right like when you are sexualized in every relationship but you just want to "know" someone to the point that they are family like wow I feel like you are finally seeing me
This is what it is to be human. To share art, to interpret it together. To watch something you love so dearly evolve and hear it from the mouths of others. This song is one of the most beautifully written pieces all around. Every cover I hear of it breaks my perspective of everything and I love it every time. I have so much love in my heart for Adrienne and for Steve’s wonderful cover and for anyone reading this. I have so much love and no idea how to spend it so I will share it and write about it even though it may never be understood. This is the human spirit. This is what it all means and I love you all.
I love you so much as well, thank you for this. It's been a particularly difficult week for me that's been testing my love and making me doubt if I've really done well enough showing it to people I hold close to my heart, or if I've done too much that it's overwhelming. You remind me how pretty love can be, you remind me people can be extremely beautiful simply because they are.
I always thought indigo was an interesting color choice to associate with fear, since indigo is a shade of blue and purple, blue=sad purple=starting anew, i thought that was really interesting. Then i realized indigo was the name of a person, and it was literal, and it made the song a lot more personal. I think its great with both interpretaions. Really brave to actually put her name in it.
this cover gives me the same feeling of pretending to be asleep so you can be carried inside from the car when you were a kid. it's just so paternal and comforting and beautiful. 🤍
@Chizzychica Something overwhelming about it. It's such a sweet moment captured. The song, the wind buffeting the camera mic and then the voice whispering in your ear. I'm having a nice Christmas with it. Something shared, a little melancholy. It's just right. edit: written tipsily.
The little looks he gives when he slightly messes up the lyrics and you can see him smile as he's being reassured off camera is a beautiful moment between two musicans.
I saw this comment on tiktok saying "this version makes me feel like it’s about a father going through divorce and trying to connect to his family still" I was sobbing
the fact she writes “wanna listen to the sound of your blinking, wanna listen to your hands south, listen to your heart beating, and listen tot the way you love’ is do powerful because she wants to listen to the little things. you can’t hear those things unless your close to them. and how she writes ‘weren’t we the stars in the heaven, weren’t we the salt in the sea’ she is saying weren’t we infinite. and that struck me. i love you adrianne
chat i cant stop sobbing my lungs are running out of air why is this so comforting but sad and the cute wince he does when he gets the lyrics mixed up towards the end is so humane guys
I'm not familiar with Steve Fisher, but damn this is a powerful, moving version of the song. Steve plays the song in a different key (to suit his voice), a different tuning (standard, with a capo, while Adrianne uses an open tuning), he changes up a lyric or two (e.g., "Listen to the sound of you breathing" instead of Adrianne's "blinking"), and he doesn't change up the chord progression during the chorus (while Adrianne switches things up during the chorus by starting on a minor chord). The song is so great that it retains its power despite these minor changes. In fact, both versions seem perfect. Thanks for sharing this.
My dad always used to play guitar for me and my sister, he’d make up stupid funny little songs, but my mom always told me he would sing her favourite songs all the time. He passed away after Christmas last year from a meth overdose, I miss him so much, I wish he could play guitar for me again, I’m still learning guitar because of him, I love you dad.
feels like sitting on the porch with a fire going, my cousins and uncles and aunts are all over, my older brothers and my uncle are playing music and singing, and we’re all singing along. feels like growing up.
This man is making the guitar sound like a fucking harp. What an incredibly intimate and raw performance of one of my favourite songs, just mind-blowing.
16 years without my mum, 7 years without my dad. The rest of my family are far away from me, i’ve never felt so alone, my heart aches hearing “i just wanna be part of your family”
The fact that this guy looks like he hangs out in a Florida keys dive bar and is about to stumble his way through a margaritaville cover but then goes on to play this banger is the lesson in not judging a book by its cover we all need
So beautiful. Makes me cry every time. Don't know why this version is so much more emotional and raw than the original. Love the little harmonies thrown in. This is magical
This song brings me back to when I was a little, playing with my dad in the front yard of our house. I remember his big smile and how much he tried his hardest to be a good parent. I wish I could go back to those simple moments. My dad took his own life in Febuary and I miss him more than anything in the world. He was a such special and kind soul. I love you so much dad.
I lost my favorite teacher, he was an amazing teacher, an amazing father, and an amazing husband. I remember how bright his smile was, how he'd push back deadlines and give me a second chance. His life was taken from him in a car accident at an intersection. I'll miss you Mr. Gauvey, we all will.
the harmony on "Shoulder of your shirt sleeve slipping" is constantly replayed in my head, whether it's the cover or the original or I'm not listening to it at all. so beautiful.
this version of the song feels like a sunny summer day with a gentle breeze blowing through the strands of your hair. one where you are surrounded by ladybugs and gentle sounds of the birds singing.
something about this video makes me feel alive, and helps remind me what I live for. I often wonder what the point of existing is if we all suffer so much, then I see videos like this and I’m reminded of the beauty of it all.
i hear you man. i don’t know what i’m doing but the one thing i know for CERTAIN is that i will die one day. i can’t guarantee that i’ll ever get to be a mother or travel the world, or anything else really. the only thing i KNOW is that i and everything else i love will perish one day. it’s kind of morbid to think about but it just gives us all the more reasons to be here now and soak it all in. i guess that’s all we can do and maybe all we were meant to do. be where your feet are and experience everyone and everything while we’re here.
I have never commented on any video before, but. The first time I ever stayed the night at his house, even as a friend, I whispered this song as he softly slept and I got ready for bed. He’s gone on and is living his life, and I’ll never be that close to him again, but all the love I felt for him is so wonderfully encapsulated in this song. And this cover reminds me of that soft spot in the most raw, animal part of my body that the memory of him occupies. Thank you.
this is so beautiful. it has been 2 years since my partner passed away, and this cover is a great comfort to me. it reminded me of the days where we would sit in the warm sun and just enjoy each other’s company. i miss you, B.
"lay in your lap while i'm crying ".... so vulnerable, for someone to see the tears stream down your face like a cold river (which may remind you of them), it's like stripping your soul naked. but you know what's the irony of it all? - the comforting arm is the one that hurt you in the first place, but oh the warmth of their fingers, the fleeting hope that everything will work out, when in the end, it's doomed to fall apart. since the beginning it was doomed to fall apart. but why try, you may ask? human nature does the wonders, that's why. it continues to fight even when the white, defeated flags are being waved from the other side and there's no more use of wasting your precious seconds. maybe, maybe in another universe i'd lie in your lap without crying, but in this one, i'll have to say goodbye, because my eyes are drying and cheeks are too red, if you touch them with your knuckles, your hand may burn up. and i don't want that to happen, such a fool i am, still caring about the possible pain to you i may cause. we would never be that lucky and you would not go against anything for me, but in the mere second i saw the glimpse in your eyes and I knew you were double guessing the fate. I knew it, the same way I have memorized your heartbeat, however, life got in our way, and you weren't strong enough to bring the swords and strike back. i'll catch you on the flipside. as for now, farewell, i will try my best to erase your touches on my skin and not search for you in every single crowd i might meet along the way. i could've loved you endlessly, i could've let you sleep in the car while I'd drive. I'd kiss your eyes too, tirelessly. Adrianne, this song is a gem. you cracked me up and unleashed the pain i've been trying to conceal, such a magic you carry with your mind and fingertips.
i don't know who you are, but i love you. the way you weave words is so enchanting. you posted this 4 minutes ago, i opened this video at the right time. how wonderful it is, how you lay out your feelings and words laced with so much love and vulnerability. hugs!
@@yeon3997you were definitely sent by my guardian angel, tearing up as I read your comment and can not possibly thank you enough, you have no idea how much of hope you gave me with your words. I love you and please know that world is so much more beautiful, because we have you here ❤️ sending you everything magical the universe can offer ❤️
I've never read a more raw beautiful piece of text than this, and to find it in a comment section on a RUclips video shows that beauty is found in all sorts of places, it just depends on your perspective
Last year, just before my grandpa died, adrienne was almost all I listened to. This song randomly started playing and it's almost been a year without him. A year ago, I was taking a 20 hour bus trip back home. This year I have a hole in my chest. A fear in my head. I worry ill forget how his voice sounded, I worry if he's warm or not, I worry that he was angry at me for not visiting for years. This cover is what brings me back to him when I need him most. Thank you for this moment
oh my god you get it..i have always felt so silly wondering silly things about my uncle (whom i cannot bring back.) i always wonder if hes hungry or cold or if hes sad. i dont think i know how to greive.
time is slipping through my fingers like the sand on a hot day by the beach where i used to run endlessly, it's elusive and unstoppable, and i cant catch it. it leaves only a memory of its warmth between golden specks that promise something bigger than everything.
You’ll be okay. I don’t know you but I know that you matter. And I know you’ll be okay. I know that you’re strong. Things change and it sucks. But you are stronger than you know. And it will be okay.
this song, specifically this cover genuinely unlocks something so gut wrenching in me. i watch this video all the time and i literally sob like a baby everytime haha, so gorgeous, music is really so amazing.
don’t get me wrong I love the original version, but this cover is so perfect his soothing/mature voice with her harmonization in the background would make me tear up even if the song wasn’t already so sad
i miss the sunshine of his smile, his soft hands, his caramel eyes, his sweet smile, his tan skin, his curly hair, his comforting hugs, his hilarious calls, i miss everything about him. how do i get it back?
if im still alive i will revisit this video 10/20/30 years later. and i hope by that time, I'll feel that this is all worth it... that being alive is actually lovely. i love this beautiful song :D
My dad used to play guitar and hum, I loved it more than anything and always wanted him to teach me how to play better. I lost him 3 years ago. This video reminded me of my old best friend, we believed he would be okay, now I have to believe in myself for him. I miss having a dad so much ♥️
I'm glad Adrianne was able to realize the power of the song by hearing someone else sing it to her, because that's how I feel every time I hear her sing it. Absolutely beautiful work
I never really noticed before the beauty of this verse until I heard this cover: "Weren't we the stars in heaven? Weren't we the salt in the sea? Dragon in the new warm mountain Didn't you believe in me?" I don't know why, I just never really noticed it. Something about the cadence and the way this man sings it. Maybe because he's playing it a bit slower, and he emotes the words a bit differently.
this cover brings me so much comfort and has the ability to make me cry my feelings out when I’ve struggled with that the most, these are the times I feel grateful to be alive in
Theres this girl in my class who is the most beautiful woman ive ever seen, we havent said a word to each other but one day i want to be able to play this song for her
Steve Fisher is the same man who wrote the poem in Wide Winged Bird. Obviously a deep and vast soul. Adrianne is a true scavenger for the hidden magic that persists in this world.
I've been coming back to this at least once a day for the last couple of weeks. Just angelic. Thank you Adrienne Lenker for your beautiful music and Steve Fisher for lending this song your tender and beautiful talent.
My grandfather was a huge musician/guitar lover, he used to show me all his favorite musicians and talk to me about music, he told me he used to perform as a lead guitarist in a band, he loved playing guitar and had a collection of them. he used to tell me stories about how he was a heartthrob back in the day and i always used to say "uhuh. sure u were". He past away two weeks ago, i feel like he would've really loved this song.
Every time she asks, "is it ok if im close?" it makes me cry, because it seems like that question is a big theme in the song
I felt that too. It's an exchange of silence hes worried about the tuning and she doesn't say anything. Shes worried about her proximity and he doesn't say anything.
I was gonna like this comment but it has 69 likes so you’ve already won
Just so u know I love this comment so much ❤
why would u say that i’m crying
Man yall cryin now im cryin 😭
Older folks, who have lived a lot of life and heard a lot of music, covering younger folks’ songs, is the most beautiful compliment.
He actually helped write the song
i adore how shes sort of whispering the harmonies with you like she's absentmindedly humming her favorite song
adrianne quietly harmonising in the backround has in me in tears
do you know why shes in this? like whats her relationship with this man?
@@bradybrady7893it’s her dad!
I had no idea it was Adrianne’s dad but now I do, and it makes me sob. So damn beautiful

I love Adrianne’s soft harmonisations. Tentative because she understands how delicate this special moment is and yet she cannot help but feel she becomes one with the music. Amazing.
She's so delicate with it, makes me tear up
the way i was like oh the girl harmonizing sounds like Adrianne and then i realized it fully was
idk why but the "i don't wanna be part of your fantasy, i just wanna be part of your family" bit made me cry out of nowhere. i love being a human i love being alive.
Original lyric is “I don’t want to be the owner of your fantasy” :)
Right like when you are sexualized in every relationship but you just want to "know" someone to the point that they are family like wow I feel like you are finally seeing me
The girl recording and singing with him every now and then really brings it all together

I like paying attention to the parts where she sings along, it seems like those lines must mean more to her
Omg yes 🥹💕
this is absolutely incredible and this really shows how powerful adrianne is as a songwriter and how amazing this song is

feels like sitting on the porch with a fire going, my cousins and uncles and aunts are all over, my older brothers and my uncle are playing music and singing, and we’re all singing along.
feels like growing up.
THE HARMONIZING?? IM ACTUALLY BAWLING
Really feels like a intertwining of a father and daughter singing to eachother about their whole lives in just a couple of minutes
I started crying when she sang with him a bit
This man is making the guitar sound like a fucking harp. What an incredibly intimate and raw performance of one of my favourite songs, just mind-blowing.
i frequently return to this video to read the comments
the comments made me cry more then the vid
This shit breaks me down, the guitar, his voice, the lyrics, I need a good hug
16 years without my mum, 7 years without my dad. The rest of my family are far away from me, i’ve never felt so alone, my heart aches hearing “i just wanna be part of your family”

cheer up dear, I love you ❤
Her soft harmonies in the background is everything
I cant stop violently sobbing whenever I hear this cover
need this on spotify so bad id fall asleep crying to it every night i love this cover so much.
The fact that this guy looks like he hangs out in a Florida keys dive bar and is about to stumble his way through a margaritaville cover but then goes on to play this banger is the lesson in not judging a book by its cover we all need
as someone who never really get what it is like to have a active father figure in my life, thank you, i get it now.
I sobbed. I sobbed and sobbed and instead of her arms I was buried in my own pillow. If only I could see her
So beautiful. Makes me cry every time. Don't know why this version is so much more emotional and raw than the original. Love the little harmonies thrown in. This is magical

Petition to get this on Spotify!
when he sings "I wanna sleep in your car while I'm driving" and then winces because he got the lyric wrong is so tender and nice :)
I remember i read somewhere someone said this cover makes them think of a divorced dad singing about wanting their family back or something like that
i don't know what to do with myself after hearing this
something so special about this. brings humanity back to its roots; a dad singing to his daughter with a guitar. so moving.
i feel the tears coming up
she is one of the best songwriters alive i love u adrianne
you are alive, you are human, you are loved.

What was their name what were they like
THE HARMONY IM DEVASTATED
there's such a delicate and fragile pain to this song. It's so jarring and real
"lay in your lap while i'm crying "....
so vulnerable, for someone to see the tears stream down your face like a cold river (which may remind you of them), it's like stripping your soul naked. but you know what's the irony of it all? - the comforting arm is the one that hurt you in the first place, but oh the warmth of their fingers, the fleeting hope that everything will work out, when in the end, it's doomed to fall apart. since the beginning it was doomed to fall apart. but why try, you may ask?

You’ll be okay. I don’t know you but I know that you matter. And I know you’ll be okay. I know that you’re strong. Things change and it sucks. But you are stronger than you know. And it will be okay.
this song, specifically this cover genuinely unlocks something so gut wrenching in me. i watch this video all the time and i literally sob like a baby everytime haha, so gorgeous, music is really so amazing.
don’t get me wrong I love the original version, but this cover is so perfect his soothing/mature voice with her harmonization in the background would make me tear up even if the song wasn’t already so sad
i miss the sunshine of his smile, his soft hands, his caramel eyes, his sweet smile, his tan skin, his curly hair, his comforting hugs, his hilarious calls, i miss everything about him. how do i get it back?
you let it eat your brain and heart or you move on
if im still alive i will revisit this video 10/20/30 years later. and i hope by that time, I'll feel that this is all worth it... that being alive is actually lovely.
i love this beautiful song :D
This is so sweet and cute. Go for it dear! Life is beautiful.
My dad used to play guitar and hum, I loved it more than anything and always wanted him to teach me how to play better. I lost him 3 years ago. This video reminded me of my old best friend, we believed he would be okay, now I have to believe in myself for him. I miss having a dad so much ♥️
maybe in another universe our puppy love blossoms again in the crisp autumn air and our pinky promises mean something to you.
miss you so much.
this made me sob, itll get better. sending love💗
Listening to this for the 80th time today prob.
We all thought of different things, different people, different memories, and yet we all felt it. We all feel it. Crazy how universal music can be.
I'm glad Adrianne was able to realize the power of the song by hearing someone else sing it to her, because that's how I feel every time I hear her sing it. Absolutely beautiful work
I never really noticed before the beauty of this verse until I heard this cover:
"Weren't we the stars in heaven?
Weren't we the salt in the sea?
Dragon in the new warm mountain
Didn't you believe in me?"
I don't know why, I just never really noticed it. Something about the cadence and the way this man sings it. Maybe because he's playing it a bit slower, and he emotes the words a bit differently.
I noticed it only at the last play as well, did you realize how it basically foreshadowed the title of the new Big Thief album?
this cover brings me so much comfort and has the ability to make me cry my feelings out when I’ve struggled with that the most, these are the times I feel grateful to be alive in
Theres this girl in my class who is the most beautiful woman ive ever seen, we havent said a word to each other but one day i want to be able to play this song for her

@@Sekiro234just cuz ur miserable doesn't mean he'll be so too
the subtle harmony just made me sob
Steve Fisher is the same man who wrote the poem in Wide Winged Bird. Obviously a deep and vast soul. Adrianne is a true scavenger for the hidden magic that persists in this world.
the parts when they both harmonize, and the soft hum in the background near the end just ties it all together, thank you so much
The subtle harmonies AW WOW
I desperately NEED this on Spotify
It might be on there as a podcast if it hasn’t gotten deleted
we are all getting this recommended now
yeah bro
fr hiiii
i come back to this at least once a month and i wanna sob everytime
I've been coming back to this at least once a day for the last couple of weeks. Just angelic. Thank you Adrienne Lenker for your beautiful music and Steve Fisher for lending this song your tender and beautiful talent.
Beautiful rendition. This shows so much respect to young songwriters. I can tell this man’s very wise and in touch with the world.
This is truly the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard please release it on Spotify please I’m begging you
this is the biggest heartache
right : (
My grandfather was a huge musician/guitar lover, he used to show me all his favorite musicians and talk to me about music, he told me he used to perform as a lead guitarist in a band, he loved playing guitar and had a collection of them. he used to tell me stories about how he was a heartthrob back in the day and i always used to say "uhuh. sure u were". He past away two weeks ago, i feel like he would've really loved this song.
I’m so sorry for your loss
have struggled with depression in the sense that i typically feel emotionless. this is the video i come to to feel emotion
