I remember helping her often bc she had really good taste in pedals and knew her gear! Congrats to you and all your success!! Love the cover and it appears you're surrounded by AMAZING SOULS 👏

    I often wake up with country songs from my childhood; my mom's music; stuck in my head. Usually it's infuriating, soulless, overproduced Nashville pop country. Sometimes it's the Chicks or other great stuff. Whenever it's this song, and it often is, I'm glad. And this is the best version of it I've ever heard. Fantastic.

    Also can we pause and just appreciate the hell out of Camille here? The violin (I think? *tips head* could be viola) just MAKES this song and I always have this half-idea that they're like "hey, do you know this song?" and she's like "I mean, if I don't, I'll make something up" because it literally feels like she can improvise along with anything.

    I said, I wanna touch the earth
    I wanna break it in my hands
    I wanna grow something wild and unruly
    I wanna sleep on the hard ground
    In the comfort of your arms
    On a pillow of blue bonnets
    In a blanket made of stars
    Oh, it sounds good to me
    I said, cowboy take me away
    Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue
    Set me free, oh, I pray
    Closer to heaven above and closer to you
    Closer to you
    I wanna walk and not run
    I wanna skip and not fall
    I wanna look at the horizon and not see a building standing tall
    I wanna be the only one for miles and miles
    Except for maybe you and your simple smile
    Oh, it sounds good to me
    Yes, it sounds so good to me
    Cowboy take me away
    Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue
    Set me free, oh, I pray
    Closer to heaven above and closer to you
    Closer to you
    I said, I wanna touch the earth
    I wanna break it in my hands
    I wanna grow something wild and unruly
    Oh, it sounds so good to me

    Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue
    Set me free, oh, I pray

      If you want to check out their solo stuff they’re amazing! The one who starts out singing is Julien Baker and she has a very sad discography (I’d recommend everybody does and appointments). The second girl is Phoebe Bridgers and she’s more folksy artist (I’d recommend Scott Street and Smoke Signals). Lucy Dacus is the red lipstick one and literally everything she does is gold!

      She is Lucy Dacus. Wonderful voice. And further to the comments below, check out the Brooklyn Steel Pitchfork Live Boygenius concert on RUclips from Nov 2020. Each of these gifted artists performs a 30 minute set of their own material with their own bands, and then they come together at the end as boygenius and perform their entire EP. It is magical to say the least.....

    Dixie Chicks
    I said, I wanna touch the earth
    I wanna break it in my hands
    I wanna grow something wild and unruly
    I wanna sleep on the hard ground
    In the comfort of your arms
    On a pillow of blue bonnets
    In a blanket made of stars
    Oh, it sounds good to me
    I said, cowboy take me away
    Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue
    Set me free, oh, I pray
    Closer to heaven above and closer to you
    Closer to you
    I wanna walk and not run
    I wanna skip and not fall
    I wanna look at the horizon and not see a building standing tall
    I wanna be the only one for miles and miles
    Except for maybe you and your simple smile
    Oh, it sounds good to me
    Yes, it sounds so good to me
    Cowboy take me away
    Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue
    Set me free, oh, I pray
    Closer to heaven above and closer to you
    Closer to you
    I said, I wanna touch the earth
    I wanna break it in my hands
    I wanna grow something wild and unruly
    Oh, it sounds so good to me
    Cowboy take me away
    Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue
    Set me free, oh, I pray
    Closer to heaven above and closer to you
    Closer to you
    Closer to you
    Cowboy take me away
    Closer to you
