    Recorded in front of a sold-out audience in Boulder, CO, and deftly mixed by GRAMMY-winner Trina Shoemaker (Sheryl Crow, Emmylou Harris), Indigo Girls Live With The University of Colorado Symphony Orchestra showcases Indigo Girls at their finest: raw, real, and revelatory. Spanning material from throughout the band’s career, the 22-song set features a mix of reimagined classics, including fan favorites “Galileo” and “Closer to Fine”, unexpected deep cuts, and tracks from Indigo Girls’ latest studio album, One Lost Day. Recorded live with the University of Colorado Symphony Orchestra, the GRAMMY-winning duo managed to find that elusive sonic sweet spot with this project, creating a seamless blend of folk, rock, pop, and classical that elevates their songs to new emotional heights without sacrificing any of the emotional intimacy and honesty that have defined their music for decades. After more than 50 performances with symphonies across America, the experience has finally been captured in all its grandeur on the band’s stunning new album, Indigo Girls Live With The University of Colorado Symphony Orchestra.
    Directed by: Cooper Carter

    Lyrics:
    I'm tryin' to tell you somethin' 'bout my life
    Maybe give me insight between black and white
    And the best thing you've ever done for me
    Is to help me take my life less seriously
    It's only life after all, yeah
    Well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
    And lightness has a call that's hard to hear
    I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
    I sailed my ship of safety 'til I sank it
    I'm crawling on your shores
    And I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
    I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
    There's more than one answer to these questions
    Pointing me in a crooked line
    And the less I seek my source for some definitive
    The closer I am to fine
    The closer I am to fine
    And I went to see the doctor of philosophy
    With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee
    He never did marry or see a B-Grade movie
    He graded my performance, he said he could see through me
    I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
    Got my paper and I was free
    I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
    I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
    There's more than one answer to these questions
    Pointing me in a crooked line
    And the less I seek my source for some definitive
    The closer I am to fine
    The closer I am to fine, yeah
    I stopped by the bar at three A.M.
    To seek solace in a bottle, or possibly a friend
    And I woke up with a headache like my head against a board
    Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before
    And I went in seeking clarity
    I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
    I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
    We go to the doctor, we go to the mountains
    We look to the children, we drink from the fountain
    Yeah, we go to the Bible, we go through the work out
    We read up on revival, we stand up for the lookout
    There's more than one answer to these questions
    Pointing me in a crooked line
    And the less I seek my source for some definitive
    The closer I am to fine
    The closer I am to fine
    The closer I am to fine, yeah

    I've never forgotten this song since it came out. So many things happening in my life at that time, so many things in my country, etc. Then, some years later, this young student shared the tape with my wife and asked her if she'd heard of Indigo Girls. She hadn't but i sure did 😉. I sang the chorus to her and then she recognized it. That must've been 10 or 15 years back. It's 2022 and i still love it.

    How cool is this? I had gone outside for a few minutes and this had popped up I could hear it playing in the background. When I came into the room I was pleasantly surprised to hear and see Closer To Fine being played with a symphony orchestra. The song was about half way over I listened to about 40 seconds of it then started it over and then I started it over again and then again. 300 years from now will these be viewed as the classics like Bach and Mozart are today.
    Personally I find the Indigo Girls, along with a few others, to be far superior to the old masters.
    Someone was lamenting the poor quality of music in these times but great music is still being put out you just have to wade through a lot of crap to find it.
