100%. I’m usually not focused on lyrics at all. I hear them as another instrument. The marriage between the poetry and the music is deep and powerful in this song.
I can’t even put into words how amazing this performance is and how I feel when I watch it. I’m so grateful for Adrienne Lenker’s brain. What an incredible artist.
this is my favorite version of mary - the ease, the emoting, the pick up rhythm they get me every time... i don't get how everyone is not singing along!
this song should have like "stairway to heaven" type status imo. like, it should be the last song they play at high school dances. it is legendary, but the people don't know it.
The first time i heard this song ,i was having a panic attack. After I finished working 36 hours straight, im so tired i cant even sleep, it felt like im going to die if i sleep, like im sure im going to die , i started to have palpitations. Then, i tried to calm myself down and to listen to music,on some random indie music playlist on spotify, on shuffle, this song came first. And I thought, if this is the song I will be listening to before i die, nothing could be more beautiful, let me die then. I slept so well that night.
@@sophiacharlie thanks, been better. I stopped doing 3 shifts in row since then 😆. This song has been a constant in my playlist. Im still amazed how we sometimes discover new beautiful music just at the right time.
Burn up with the water The floods are on the plains The planets in a rose Who knows what they contain? And my brain is like an orchestra Playing on, insane Will you love me like you loved me in the January rain? Mom and Dad and violins Sung the country silence The needle stop the kicking The clothespins on the floor And my heart is playing hide and seek Waiting, count to four Will you love me like you loved me and I'll never ask for more What did you tell me Mary When you were there so sweet and very Full of field and stars You carried all of time When heaven's when you looked at me Your eyes were like machinery Your hands were making artifacts in the corner of my mind Monastery monochrome Boom balloon machine and all Diamond rings and gutter bones Marching up some mountain With our aching planet High and smiling Cheap drink Dark and violet Full of butterflies The violent tenderness The sweetest silence The clay you find is fortified We felt some focus fade the line The sugar rush The constant hush The pushing of the water gush The marching band When April ran The June bugs flying Push your gin Jacob With the tired wiry brandy look Here you go around Mary in your famous story book We overcome the sirens We look both left and right And I can feel the numbness accompany my plight And I know someday soon I'll see you But now you're out of sight And you'll kiss me like you used to in the January night What did you tell me Mary When you were there so sweet and very Full of field and stars You carried all of time Oh when heaven's when you looked at me Your eyes were like machinery Your hands were making artifacts in the corner of my mind Monastery monochrome Boom balloon machine and all Diamond rings and gutter bones Marching up some mountain With our aching planet High and smiling Cheap drink Dark and violet Full of butterflies The violent tenderness The sweetest silence The clay you find is fortified We felt some focus fade the line The sugar rush The constant hush The pushing of the water gush The marching band When April ran The June bugs flying Push your gin Jacob With the tired wiry brandy look Here you go around Mary in your famous story book
Also it's sombre country silence. I'm not going to continue going through any further, I assume there's more mistakes. These lyrics you've done are just wrong.
I can't believe Buck and Adrianne bring those guitars on tour with them! They are $5-6k guitars, the Collings I-35 and SoCo deluxe I think. Unless they only drive in vans between shows, I would never let an airline employee throw them around while loading airplanes.
something great also can be simple but that doesn't matter if it's don't require more details because it's almost fully formed as its coming out in a stream of consciousness that is captured like lightning in a bottle or whatever and that's not less of a masterpiece I don't think🤔🤔

Dearest Pitchfork, I start working for you Monday morning at 8am (to show you my initiative, I've gone ahead and hired myself). P.S. I will gladly accept Goose Island Beer as currency for my amazing labor.
amazing performance, but has that guy ever played guitar before? this was such an epic version and should have had an epic solo there but it’s like he fell over his guitar 😮
Absolutely special recording spotlighting a next level song. 160K views? Wow, what is our future? Either way, thanks for posting and thanks to Big Thief, this song is gold.
thank god there are still artists who can move you in this way

nice malibu ken pfp
@@frogyfingers have you heard Ases new Album? It's probably his best...
@@fredzep01 yesss it's so so good! amazing how even this late into his career he's still topping himself with every new release
She puts so much of herself into that song that at the end i fear she is gone
She may be, then she comes right back with that smile :)
idk how it doesn't look like any of the crowd is crying. I cry every time I hear this song lol
bawl*
I think its because she put drums and guitars, which dont combine at all
Sitting here grinning like a fool and getting teary on a dark day in the new decade. Thanks.
a tip: watch movies on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies recently.
@London Andres Yea, I've been watching on flixzone} for since december myself :)
I can’t even put into words how amazing this performance is and how I feel when I watch it. I’m so grateful for Adrienne Lenker’s brain. What an incredible artist.
well said. I feel the same, been listening to this almost every day since I first heard it a few weeks ago
Big Thief makes me sit down.
every time i see this band they look more and more raggedy and its fucking cool
pitchfork please release the entire footage of this set
this is my favorite version of mary - the ease, the emoting, the pick up rhythm they get me every time... i don't get how everyone is not singing along!

Still the greatest thing on RUclips, absolutely incredible.
Best version of this song

You moved me, I hope you’re doing better these days, maybe my comment can be a sign to listen again

Full concert please 🙏🏻
Love her voice......
songs from capacity are an emotional mountain!!!
Absolute genius words. Perfectly sung
This song makes me weep
my favorite song from capacity. oh my queen....
This healed me
OMG what a song. what a performance. love it so much. 😍
Burn up with the water
The floods are on the plains
The planets in a rose
Who knows what they contain?
And my brain is like an orchestra
Playing on, insane
Will you love me like you loved me in the January rain? Mom and Dad and violins
Sung the country silence
The needle stop the kicking
The clothespins on the floor
And my heart is playing hide and seek
Waiting, count to four
Will you love me like you loved me and I'll never ask for more
What did you tell me Mary
When you were there so sweet and very
Full of field and stars
You carried all of time
When heaven's when you looked at me
Your eyes were like machinery
Your hands were making artifacts in the corner of my mind
Monastery monochrome
Boom balloon machine and all
Diamond rings and gutter bones
Marching up some mountain
With our aching planet
High and smiling
Cheap drink
Dark and violet
Full of butterflies
The violent tenderness
The sweetest silence
The clay you find is fortified
We felt some focus fade the line
The sugar rush
The constant hush
The pushing of the water gush
The marching band
When April ran
The June bugs flying
Push your gin Jacob
With the tired wiry brandy look
Here you go around Mary in your famous story book
We overcome the sirens
We look both left and right
And I can feel the numbness accompany my plight
And I know someday soon I'll see you
But now you're out of sight
And you'll kiss me like you used to in the January night
What did you tell me Mary
When you were there so sweet and very
Full of field and stars
You carried all of time
Oh when heaven's when you looked at me
Your eyes were like machinery
Your hands were making artifacts in the corner of my mind
Monastery monochrome
Boom balloon machine and all
Diamond rings and gutter bones
Marching up some mountain
With our aching planet
High and smiling
Cheap drink
Dark and violet
Full of butterflies
The violent tenderness
The sweetest silence
The clay you find is fortified
We felt some focus fade the line
The sugar rush
The constant hush
The pushing of the water gush
The marching band
When April ran
The June bugs flying
Push your gin Jacob
With the tired wiry brandy look
Here you go around Mary in your famous story book
the planets in rows* as in aligned. That's what I always thought. She is the best songwriter of her generation. A true genius.
Also it's sombre country silence. I'm not going to continue going through any further, I assume there's more mistakes. These lyrics you've done are just wrong.
@@PutonyourSundayBests it used to be "in a row" but now i always sing (and was singing here) "the planets in a rose"
@@adriannelenker1890 thank you for the clarification, I'm a massive fan btw! How come you changed the lyric?
always feel like the crowd are cheering for me at 3:59 whilst i'm singing along :)
This song is beautiful! Her tiny desk video was good too.. I'm glad I stumbled on to Big Thief.
I can't believe Buck and Adrianne bring those guitars on tour with them! They are $5-6k guitars, the Collings I-35 and SoCo deluxe I think. Unless they only drive in vans between shows, I would never let an airline employee throw them around while loading airplanes.
We get the reward for great art. And the best things are really difficult. Chapeau.
something great also can be simple but that doesn't matter if it's don't require more details because it's almost fully formed as its coming out in a stream of consciousness that is captured like lightning in a bottle or whatever and that's not less of a masterpiece I don't think🤔🤔
the best ever.
This is how live music should sound, ,Raw and Edgy...A lot to like here
Bucks background vocals are so perfect
Agreeeeeeeeeeeed
Buck is amazing, more buck!
Adrianne Lenker destroys me with her frank and honest approach to music. I revel in her wake and I yearn for more.
Melts my human heart
La voz de la añoranza que cautiva multitudes.
INCREDIBLE
does not get any better than that !

My God this is beautiful

She is talented and beautiful. Ild love to play guitar with her.

That is a fucking golden voice. Jesus christ. I knew it was good from shark smile but god damn.
Starker Sound,finde ich oder🤫🍻
amazing performance, but has that guy ever played guitar before? this was such an epic version and should have had an epic solo there but it’s like he fell over his guitar 😮
That guitarist is HOT
U trippin my dude
She is actually hella pretty
I guess he was talking about the other guitar player
That's probably why she married him
adrianne lenker 😢
waiting for the joanna newsom cover
can you explain this? did they play in this concert a j.newsom cover??? so hyped!
I want to know more!
Is the bass player guy Tame Impala himself?
What episode of umbrella acad is this??
Ep.5 when Klaus came back on the bus
sup guys
The bass player always looks like he's tripping and about to lose it.
Remind me to breathe...
Where is the fucking perform of Circuit Des Yeux?
🤍🤍
97 bpm
they look like the Murfree of Red Dead Redemption II...
Many of reverb in the voice, dommage. But It's a good work.
It's a good work!? It's genius. Do not presume to patronise. Do better, or shut up!
why did she lose her teeth?
neclof heller because she can !
What does this mean?
@@jake_runs_the_world just wonder the "cause"
Shouldn't have the drums.
They look like they don´t bathe

Been 3 years since the last comment which happened to be me. What a lovely song with a g-dly recording. Excellence.
Thumbs up. What else can you add???
