I don't know how Adrianne Lenker always manages to remind me of nature. Like whenever I hear her voice and peaceful guitar strumming I can just picture wide fields with animals frolicking in them, mountains, rain, forests, meadows... Like it just makes me want to disappear and go live in nature
@@bigfootlover345 Me too, I thought the voice sounded familiar and searched it up, turns out it is actually her! She's the lead vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter. Or that's what wikipedia says
This song feels like that nostalgia that makes you lay down in bed and cry wishing you could even for just a moment go back to experience that happiness one last time.
This song was playing in my headphones while my mom was crying on the phone, we were in the car and I didn’t know what was going on, but she told me that a really close friend of ours killed himself, so whenever I hear it it’s what makes me think about him,it’s really cool how everything has a memory or feeling attached to this song, so I just wanted to share mine
I'm 16 and struggle with self harm and an Ed and am trying to get out of being groomed. This song makes me feel better, and a little less panicked all the time
life has its ups and its downs, youre here for a reason and its a special thing to even be strong enough to try to break these habits, or even to be able to address that you have problems. i hope you can find a longterm peace in your life. i know what it feels like to have your mind work against your body, but if i can stop so can you. its a long process, but we are all capable of it. i believe in you and i believe in what you can do.
Who s grooming you? Get away from them Or alert the staff I m old so whats "ED" Mean I was abused as a child multiple Times and multiple people Physically s_xually emotionly As an adult i hurt myself and others crime prison the whole deal Finally i grew up a little late and Faced my past all of it I m ok today and have been for years now Lifes never perfect or easy But i ve come to believe its a gift And responsibility Nothing good comes with out Hard work Get a good counselor you trust or a person close to you And talk about everything thats happened to you And whatever's bothering you too Let it all out Trust me eventually it feels good and you get better Thanks From the ghost on the shore
I got caught in a rainstorm while this song was playing and in that moment i felt infinite and tiny at the same time. This song reminds me of the time i realised i will never be a child again, which is a strange feeling.
Lyrics Chilled in the kitchen of a city tomb The light would flicker like a violent womb The night was thicker than a smoky fume Eliza waited in her room Ben, he loved her like he loved no one The way she laughed and held a smoking gun The way she always said "What's done is done" And he is not the only one Love is a gentle thing Yours is thicker than a velvet ring Yours is thicker than a velvet ring A victim here with a sharp, sharp blade And Ben, he knew how she was getting paid Her water broke and they would have to wait And when he knew that she was fooling He faced the mirror to avoid the thing We're out of money and we've sold the bling And I just wanna take you home I just wanna take you home Love is a gentle thing Yours is thicker than a velvet ring Yours is thicker than a velvet ring And I'm wondering Ring And I'm wondering
me and my friend used to skip classes together in middle school. We’d sit against the wall and put our feet on the toilet and listen to this album. Kinda weird but I’ll always remember her.
The first time I listened to this song I was watching the sunrise and all of the outside world was waking up and this song just made me look at life in a way i never thought i would see it.
What a fantastic, complex piece of songwriting and composition this is. The vocal progressions are haunting and otherworldly so difficult to pin down. Bravo.
Shoved in the kitchen of a city tomb The light would flicker like a violent womb The night was thicker than a smokey fume Liza waited in the room Benny loved her like he loved no one The way she'd laugh and hold a smoking gun The way she always said what's done is done And he was not the only one Love is a gentle thing Yours is thicker than a velvet ring Yours is thicker than a velvet ring A victim healer with a sharp sharp blade Benny knew how she was getting paid Her water broke and they would have to wade When he knew that she was fooling He faced the mirror to avoid the thing said We're outta money and we sold the bling And I just wanna take you home, I just wanna take you home Love is a gentle thing Yours is thicker than a velvet ring Yours is thicker than a velvet ring And I am wandering I am wandering
This song reminds me of when I was seven and I was sleeping at my grandma's. It had been around a month since my grandfather died and I was in the same bed as her. It must have been around 2 AM when I told her I couldn't sleep. Instead of trying to get me to sleep she asked me if I wanted to see the stars. I told her yes and we went to the little balcony on the living room. She pointed to a star that seemed to shine a lot more than the others. She said that my grandfather would always be the shiniest star on the sky. Now every time I get to look at the stars I always see one that shines more than the others.
when i first started experiencing derealization episodes a couple years ago, i would put this song on, close my eyes and just sob. i still cry every time i hear it
this song reminds me when being a child was fun. i miss being happy, i miss not worrying about my body, my face or what i eat. i wish i was a child again,.
u can be happy again if u try to stop worrying. I know that these are just words that maybe won't be of any help but, belive me, I have been through that shit and now I'm better and sometimes I'm so happy and joyful that I feel like I'm a child again. U can get better and be happy and peaceful again. wish u all the best❤
Everyone talks about how this reminds them of being a kid getting ready for school and stuff but I can kinda feel that even tho I’m 15. I know I’m not the oldest of people in here but it takes me back to a time where kids wasn’t so worried about everything. Back when I was happy and innocent. Back when I would fall asleep in my mother’s arms. Before everything happened to me and fogged life and make it so complicated
I remember feeling that way at 15 too. I’m 16 now which isn’t too much farther into the future but you are loved and you can get through anything life throws your way. You can still be happy and innocent after everything that’s gone down don’t let anyone dim your light
This song reminds me of the last day of 7th grade, sitting outside by the trees during free time and spending the last period of the day with my friends before summer. It reminds me of when i found a bunch flatland and grass in between a dam and river in the middle of the forest. I ran as far as i could and watched the sun set as its reflection shined against the river water. It reminds me of when i was a little 5yr girl with zero care as i danced to whatever song was the most popular at the time in the front yard. It reminds me of love, and the sweet moments i hope to never forget in life.

This song brings up the emotions of both deep sadness and great appreciation for life. It reminds me of a time my best friend and I climbed on top of her roof, we stayed there for hours just looking at the sky and talking. We hauled up blankets and pillows once it got dark and looked at the stars and discussed our future. That moment feels so far away now.
i think of my first love that I couldn’t been with when I play this song, this track is just so soothing to my soul. hope any new commenters share their beautiful stories and connect w/ others listening to this excellent track
this song reminds me of someone i dated for a few weeks in sophomore year of hs. he liked me so much but i felt this extreme discomfort at kissing him or dating him. i found this song during that time and it really resonated with me because his love felt uncomfortable and thick like i couldnt escape. thicker than a velvet ring. to me this song perfectly exemplifies the discomfort i always had around boundaries with people
You know, I’m writing this at 5 in the morning, and my soul is in great pain. I suffer every single day, and it doesn’t get any easier. I beg you to cherish the love and support of your loved ones, as only they can be there for you even when you don’t think you need it.
this song reminds me of dancing in the field on summer days in primary school, when we all wore our summer dresses and our bodies were sticky with sunscreen and sweat. when the only worries we had was what nintendo ds games to take with us so we wouldnt be bored on the car drive to wherever we would be spending that summer. the daisy chains we would make when we needed a rest from dancing. the pigeon songs on our way to school. the kind of happy, innocent excitement we stop feeling when we grow up.
this song reminds me of my crush, that I've liked for 4 years, this year we've gotten the closest but she likes someone else, i guess that's just fate. Glad to share this story with you. :)
This song makes me happy I didn't kill myself only 3 years ago now, just has a way of making me sickeningly happy, almost giddy. Makes the future seem all the more worthwhile, maybe not for the promises of adult life, maybe not for independence from parental figures, but maybe just for something as simple human connection, maybe everything will end up alright if you have someone, maybe not close but just someone to talk to.
@@fishtastic I know it's been three weeks since you've commented but truly thank you for this comment. Standing at the foot of a mountain, yearning to be at the peak, the road up the face of said mountain is truly daunting and self-deprecating to even think of at points. The journey to being even okay mentally is much the same, but in both cases, the view from the top is indescribably worth the journey. Thank you for just giving me the conformation that I made the right choice, even if meaning I gave it was unintended. This simple sentiment has reserved it's place within my mind. Thank you.

when i was 11 i realised i was slowly growing apart from my best friend from years. then, this song popped up in my head. this song remembers me of her, and the moments we spent togheter, but also my childhood. wonderfull that music has the power to make you relieve beautiful moments like this. greetings from argentina!
my grandad recently passed away and for some reason this is the song that has been constantly been playing in my head when i think about him. everytime i get upset i play this to myself and it soothes me. it reminds me of him so much for some reason which is weird because he’s never mentioned or played this song ever but i can’t not link the two together.
This reminds me of taking a walk at 2am with my friends on my friends birthday it was so peaceful no cars driving, the streets where empty, no lights on in stores and the moon was shining the brightest and it felt like the whole world went to sleep and i was happy like genuinely happy and I will never forget it..
i just wanna sit on a cold beach with him while the sun sets behind the ocean and have the deepest talk of our lives crazy how music makes you feel things
i don’t even know what this song reminds me of. it’s so many things. just everything i’ve been thru. it just sounds like it, i can’t even describe the feeling i have when i listen to it. i love this song bro
Since everyone is saying what this song reminds them off i wanna say what this feels like to me The feeling of crying in your room after everyone forgot your birthday, just a regular day for everyone else. Being to scared to let others know because you’re afraid they’ll see you as attention seeking.
Song reminds me of the emptiest days of my life spent wasting away, not being able to get out of bed on birthdays, hating myself feeling so insignificant like nothing, wanting to just disappear and hiding this from everyone losing 30 lbs gave up on life
This song reminds me of sitting alone at recess because none of my friends wanted to play with me in elementary school, the bone deep kind of loneliness that never really leaves
I was in Dallas recently to attend my half-brother's funeral and the next day I went to a local coffee shop for a good expresso Americana. I over heard this song on the shop's speakers and I asked the barrista for the name of it. I researched it the next day and was surprised to see the lyrics referenced a man named Benny. That happens to be my departed brother's name. Benny's ex-wife had attended his funeral and I could not help, but to feel that she still had feelings for him. It was a very somber atmosphere, but I was happy I went and made the long drive there.
Feels like walking through a field to go home from a warm day out with friends on the last day of summer. Golden hour rays and dandelion tufts in the air. Limbs tired but heart light, both looking forward to Autumn but not to school. Maybe getting a bit existential on the way
This song reminds me of the pure times I had as a kid , even though it’s about love but it reminds me of the love my father used to give me and how it switched all of a sudden due to drug addiction and abuse.
this song reminds me of the memories in 8th grade when i finally met the most genuine friends and had to leave the school a year later. this song also reminds me of that school, i was there for 9 years and seriously have melancholy thinking about it.
This song reminds me of sitting alone on the bench outside of school on a sunny afternoon, pretending that the view I see is my small town and I’m a good girl
This relates to the road trips my dad takes me and my brother on , i would be in the back seat , this song in my head , almost asleep , while my brother in the front with my dad , Dad would play some music from the 80s and he would jam to it , it would be adorable to me
When you see the edge of the ledge Step back and say "hey" You spent your life thinking no one wanted to love you But that's not true The skies would cry heavenly tears if you were gone The ocean sang its crashing song as if to wait your warm embrace The wind would miss flowing through your hair You thought no one loved you, but that ISNT TRUE! Someone with care wouldn't, couldn't bear to lose you. Dont make them jealous of the times they spent with you. Make them happy you pulled through.
Somehow Somewhere Someone I heard this before And it was fun Turning summers yellow gold into winters ivory bone Cold stoned and all alone Quietly Listening for someone You left me here a year ago yesterday I looked high and I looked low But couldn't find a thing Or even wear you had Begun to begin Apparently just a fling With The smoking gun Pointed right at me Somehow Somewhere Someone
This song reminded me of how I was 7, always laying in my room and doing nothing, laying there and always tired. I was already mentally exhausted without even knowing what it was. I would lay there every day. It continued throughout my age. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, etc. I always had this field down the street. With my parents' permission, I would walk to the field, lay there, and brush my fingers against the flowers. The scars are healing slowly. I would always imagine myself gone, gone without a trace. Would people miss me? Would people care? Would people cry? The answer to me was always no. Yet I always stayed.
This song reminds me of summer I had went to Florida with AirPods on in my window down and thinking about how my life is and how many bad things I have been through and I still here on my feet and happy
i dont know why but the song, especially the lyrics "and I just wanna take you home, I just wanna take you home'' remind me of my worst crush. I was, in definition, moon-struck. but I convinced myself I dont like him anymore because my friends told me I shouldn't. now, the truth is im not over him, and I just wanna take him home (not like that) even tough he would probably do me wrong
the lyrics are Chilled in the kitchen of a city tomb The light would flicker like a violent womb The night was thicker than a smoky fume Eliza waited in her room Ben, he loved her like he loved no one The way she laughed and held a smoking gun The way she always said "What's done is done" And he is not the only one Love is a gentle thing Yours is thicker than a velvet ring Yours is thicker than a velvet ring A victim here with a sharp, sharp blade And Ben, he knew how she was getting paid Her water broke, and they would have to wait And when he knew that she was fooling He faced the mirror to avoid the thing We're out of money, and we've sold the bling And I just wanna take you home I just wanna take you home Love is a gentle thing Yours is thicker than a velvet ring Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
This song reminds me of my current partner, he loves me so deeply it’s thickening. His love is like drugs it leaves me addicted and wanting more. Someday I hope he’s the one I marry, that he’s the one I start a family with. I want to hold him as he cries, care for him when he’s ill, and wake up next to him everyday of the year. I feel like he’s the only one who truly understands me.
This song makes me think of every second of love that’s been given to me that sits in a clock of time called my life and I love every moment I share with the ones I love and I hope to remember those moments when I’m old
This song reminds me of when i used to watch the ceiling crying myself to sleep wondering when it was all going to end. All the memories of my life kinda pass through me in one moment.
I want to be a man more than anything, I see the tv glow, I see it when I'm alone, but I'm too happy being a girl, I love being a girl, It's all I've ever known, but deep I'm my soul, I'm a boy.
my theory is that when you wrap a ring made of fabric or velvet around your finger it’s thick in between them. could symbolize marriage or promises etc… and when people say they’re in the thick of love it’s like love is deep and powerful. i think it’s mainly about loving someone deeply in a childish way. that’s what I like to think anyway
“Velvet Ring is about a couple but the woman, named Liza, is prostituting herself. The man, Benny, is aware of this which is shown in the line “Benny know how she was getting paid.” After this Liza becomes pregnant and although her and Benny struggle with money he decides to stay with her because their love for each other is so strong.”
this song reminds me of how every time it rained my mom would prepare a big mug of hot chocolate and we would sit in our backyard and enjoy the warm hot chocolate together in the rain. she moved away so i don't see her much anymore but sometimes i wish i could just sit down in the rain with my mama and enjoy a mug of hot chocolate with no care in the world.
This song reminds me when i woke up early for online classes and making breakfast while in class. The cold weather, my big Harry Styles cardigan that my mom made and my mom sleeping in my bed next to my desk. Dark but comfy times
This song reminded me of passing through a Forrest to get to the lake. Later I took care of baby opossums, I used to imagine someone with me when I passed through the trail, the love of my life, a lady. But now this song makes me platonically think of my best friend despite the topic of the song
I am nine years old, running barefoot in my backyard, running through the dried up glen out back. I am laughing with my sisters, the hysterical kind of laughter that makes your ribs burn as if your heart is about to burst. The kind of laughter that's the most prevalent in memory, the kind of laughter that is childish and sweet and wild. I am laying on the trampoline, staring up at the clouds, fighting with my sisters over who got which superpowers. I am making fairy gardens at recess with my best friend, piling chunks of moss and grass into houses with imaginary owners. I am fearless and loud and emotional. I am nine years old, my ice cream is leaking from its cone down my wrist, I am laughing, crying, laughing.

And talk about everything thats happened to you
And whatever's bothering you too
Let it all out
Trust me eventually it feels good and you get better

12, going onto 13
I got my childhood stolen by a manipulative narcissistic girl who thought it was okay to let her brother r🍇 me in front of her at 9
The part that says “love is a gentle thing, yours is thicker than a velvet ring” just makes so much send to me in this moment
Lyrics
Chilled in the kitchen of a city tomb
The light would flicker like a violent womb
The night was thicker than a smoky fume
Eliza waited in her room
Ben, he loved her like he loved no one
The way she laughed and held a smoking gun
The way she always said "What's done is done"
And he is not the only one
Love is a gentle thing
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
A victim here with a sharp, sharp blade
And Ben, he knew how she was getting paid
Her water broke and they would have to wait
And when he knew that she was fooling
He faced the mirror to avoid the thing
We're out of money and we've sold the bling
And I just wanna take you home
I just wanna take you home
Love is a gentle thing
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
And I'm wondering
Ring
And I'm wondering
i hope your pillow is always cold
Thank you so much lovely

Chilled in the kitchen of a city tomb
The light would flicker like a violent womb
The night was thicker than a smoky fume

Ben, he loved her like he loved no one
The way she laughed and held a smoking gun
The way she always said "What's done is done"
And he is not the only one
Love is a gentle thing
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
A victim here with a sharp, sharp blade
And Ben, he knew how she was getting paid
Her water broke, and they would have to wait
And when he knew that she was fooling
He faced the mirror to avoid the thing
We're out of money, and we've sold the bling
And I just wanna take you home
I just wanna take you home
Love is a gentle thing
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
And I'm wondering
Ring
And I'm wondering
This song feels like a song from my childhood that I’d heard a million times before, but it is my first time hearing it
This song brings up the emotions of both deep sadness and great appreciation for life. It reminds me of a time my best friend and I climbed on top of her roof, we stayed there for hours just looking at the sky and talking. We hauled up blankets and pillows once it got dark and looked at the stars and discussed our future. That moment feels so far away now.
i think of my first love that I couldn’t been with when I play this song, this track is just so soothing to my soul. hope any new commenters share their beautiful stories and connect w/ others listening to this excellent track
This song feels like our younger selves hanging out with our best friend that we soon drift apart from
ugh i love it here
Ugh I hate it here
this song reminds me of someone i dated for a few weeks in sophomore year of hs. he liked me so much but i felt this extreme discomfort at kissing him or dating him. i found this song during that time and it really resonated with me because his love felt uncomfortable and thick like i couldnt escape. thicker than a velvet ring. to me this song perfectly exemplifies the discomfort i always had around boundaries with people
woah i just wanna say i’m going through that exactly and i have no clue what to do. i thought i was the only one with these emotions
You know, I’m writing this at 5 in the morning, and my soul is in great pain. I suffer every single day, and it doesn’t get any easier. I beg you to cherish the love and support of your loved ones, as only they can be there for you even when you don’t think you need it.
i hope you find peace
🥺❤
I love you
Love you so much
I hope you're okay.I love you so much.
this song reminds me of dancing in the field on summer days in primary school, when we all wore our summer dresses and our bodies were sticky with sunscreen and sweat. when the only worries we had was what nintendo ds games to take with us so we wouldnt be bored on the car drive to wherever we would be spending that summer. the daisy chains we would make when we needed a rest from dancing. the pigeon songs on our way to school. the kind of happy, innocent excitement we stop feeling when we grow up.
your poetry is beautiful - never stop looking through the world with a magnifying glass, analyzing every form of love you see. it’ll serve you well ❤️
Thank you spotify for letting me discover this gem
this song reminds me of my crush, that I've liked for 4 years, this year we've gotten the closest but she likes someone else, i guess that's just fate. Glad to share this story with you. :)
This song makes me happy I didn't kill myself only 3 years ago now, just has a way of making me sickeningly happy, almost giddy. Makes the future seem all the more worthwhile, maybe not for the promises of adult life, maybe not for independence from parental figures, but maybe just for something as simple human connection, maybe everything will end up alright if you have someone, maybe not close but just someone to talk to.
im so glad you’re here :]
@@fishtastic I know it's been three weeks since you've commented but truly thank you for this comment. Standing at the foot of a mountain, yearning to be at the peak, the road up the face of said mountain is truly daunting and self-deprecating to even think of at points. The journey to being even okay mentally is much the same, but in both cases, the view from the top is indescribably worth the journey. Thank you for just giving me the conformation that I made the right choice, even if meaning I gave it was unintended. This simple sentiment has reserved it's place within my mind. Thank you.
@@caivean2337 caviean2337! thank you, mental health is certainly a battle at times. for as long as we do live, i’d like for us to keep living and find meaning in even the worst of times. even if it doesn’t get better tomorrow, we will have so many days after to be able to live through and see that even in the most boring of days that there is a comfort of us, still living. i believe in you, and everyone else too ♥︎
I'm glad you didn't kill yourself ❤
i miss my mom although i never really remember her. i was 4 when she passed.
08/10/2008
That doesn't mean you aren't allowed to miss her. If you do, that means her short time with you was a good time. May she rest in peace,❤
@@MusicKat217you brought me to tears. thank you :)
when i was 11 i realised i was slowly growing apart from my best friend from years. then, this song popped up in my head. this song remembers me of her, and the moments we spent togheter, but also my childhood. wonderfull that music has the power to make you relieve beautiful moments like this. greetings from argentina!
my grandad recently passed away and for some reason this is the song that has been constantly been playing in my head when i think about him. everytime i get upset i play this to myself and it soothes me. it reminds me of him so much for some reason which is weird because he’s never mentioned or played this song ever but i can’t not link the two together.
Listening to this to make the winter go by faster xx
This reminds me of taking a walk at 2am with my friends on my friends birthday it was so peaceful no cars driving, the streets where empty, no lights on in stores and the moon was shining the brightest and it felt like the whole world went to sleep and i was happy like genuinely happy and I will never forget it..
Wow I had no idea this was lanker no wonder I immediately loved it. Her songs are always so amazing 😭
i just wanna sit on a cold beach with him while the sun sets behind the ocean and have the deepest talk of our lives
crazy how music makes you feel things
Definitely my favourite song of theirs, wished they played it when I saw them live
This might be my favourite song, i can’t stop listening to this.
i don’t even know what this song reminds me of. it’s so many things. just everything i’ve been thru. it just sounds like it, i can’t even describe the feeling i have when i listen to it. i love this song bro
Anyone in 2024 ?
Yes
Mee👍😊

This sounds very much like Elliott Smith.
Me❤
Since everyone is saying what this song reminds them off i wanna say what this feels like to me
The feeling of crying in your room after everyone forgot your birthday, just a regular day for everyone else. Being to scared to let others know because you’re afraid they’ll see you as attention seeking.
Song reminds me of the emptiest days of my life spent wasting away, not being able to get out of bed on birthdays, hating myself feeling so insignificant like nothing, wanting to just disappear and hiding this from everyone losing 30 lbs gave up on life
Tough times do indeed build us things are better than they used to be couldnt be here to see it if I would gave up all this time‼️
This hits hard cuz its my birthday today and almost nobody knew
@@jonasverstraelen3267 happy birthday man, it gets better🫂
@@jonasverstraelen3267 happy bday bro, how old are you?
This song reminds me of sitting alone at recess because none of my friends wanted to play with me in elementary school, the bone deep kind of loneliness that never really leaves
I was in Dallas recently to attend my half-brother's funeral and the next day I went to a local coffee shop for a good expresso Americana. I over heard this song on the shop's speakers and I asked the barrista for the name of it. I researched it the next day and was surprised to see the lyrics referenced a man named Benny. That happens to be my departed brother's name. Benny's ex-wife had attended his funeral and I could not help, but to feel that she still had feelings for him. It was a very somber atmosphere, but I was happy I went and made the long drive there.
I think this would be a lovely song to die to or to fall in love to
this song is so beautiful. it transcends any bad day. i love it
Love does things to a person, a change that a person don't want but, will learn to let the waves swallow them.
Makes me think of how I was growing up and life wasn’t what I thought it would be.
Reminds me on the northern lights on a winters night with the sky full of stars and I’m with loved ones. So beautiful ❤️
Feels like walking through a field to go home from a warm day out with friends on the last day of summer. Golden hour rays and dandelion tufts in the air. Limbs tired but heart light, both looking forward to Autumn but not to school. Maybe getting a bit existential on the way
this is sooo beautiful. its like a cottage in the 70s or a 90s summer by the creek or early 2000s traditional middle america.
someone told me i have the same vibe as the music
might be the best compliment i ever received tbh
This song reminds me of the pure times I had as a kid , even though it’s about love but it reminds me of the love my father used to give me and how it switched all of a sudden due to drug addiction and abuse.
Aw love I am so sorry that this happened to you. You didn't deserve to experience that. I hope you are okay now
this song reminds me of the memories in 8th grade when i finally met the most genuine friends and had to leave the school a year later. this song also reminds me of that school, i was there for 9 years and seriously have melancholy thinking about it.
This song reminds me of sitting alone on the bench outside of school on a sunny afternoon, pretending that the view I see is my small town and I’m a good girl
so glad i discovered big thief. adrienne lenker’s voice is like no other
so underrated this song is so beautiful
this feels like a mothers warm love.
This relates to the road trips my dad takes me and my brother on , i would be in the back seat , this song in my head , almost asleep , while my brother in the front with my dad , Dad would play some music from the 80s and he would jam to it , it would be adorable to me
When you see the edge of the ledge
Step back and say "hey"
You spent your life thinking no one wanted to love you
But that's not true
The skies would cry heavenly tears if you were gone
The ocean sang its crashing song as if to wait your warm embrace
The wind would miss flowing through your hair
You thought no one loved you, but that ISNT TRUE!
Someone with care wouldn't, couldn't bear to lose you.
Dont make them jealous of the times they spent with you.
Make them happy you pulled through.
Somehow
Somewhere
Someone
I heard this before
And it was fun
Turning summers yellow gold into winters ivory bone
Cold stoned and all alone
Quietly Listening for someone
You left me here a year ago yesterday
I looked high and I looked low
But couldn't find a thing
Or even wear you had
Begun to begin
Apparently just a fling
With The smoking gun
Pointed right at me
Somehow
Somewhere
Someone
This song calms me down so much when I hyperventilate. Honestly, the tone and the sounds feels just like home, it makes me feel safe.
This song makes me feel so little and cozy❤️❤️
No way I was looking for this song all day and I humed it and found it
This song reminded me of how I was 7, always laying in my room and doing nothing, laying there and always tired. I was already mentally exhausted without even knowing what it was. I would lay there every day. It continued throughout my age. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, etc. I always had this field down the street. With my parents' permission, I would walk to the field, lay there, and brush my fingers against the flowers. The scars are healing slowly. I would always imagine myself gone, gone without a trace. Would people miss me? Would people care? Would people cry? The answer to me was always no. Yet I always stayed.
Sorry if my comment seems "emo" or "cringey" I just wanted to say it 🙁
This song reminds me of summer I had went to Florida with AirPods on in my window down and thinking about how my life is and how many bad things I have been through and I still here on my feet and happy
exactly my thoughts this very day
i dont know why but the song, especially the lyrics "and I just wanna take you home, I just wanna take you home'' remind me of my worst crush. I was, in definition, moon-struck. but I convinced myself I dont like him anymore because my friends told me I shouldn't. now, the truth is im not over him, and I just wanna take him home (not like that) even tough he would probably do me wrong
the lyrics are Chilled in the kitchen of a city tomb
The light would flicker like a violent womb
The night was thicker than a smoky fume
Eliza waited in her room
Ben, he loved her like he loved no one
The way she laughed and held a smoking gun
The way she always said "What's done is done"
And he is not the only one
Love is a gentle thing
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
A victim here with a sharp, sharp blade
And Ben, he knew how she was getting paid
Her water broke, and they would have to wait
And when he knew that she was fooling
He faced the mirror to avoid the thing
We're out of money, and we've sold the bling
And I just wanna take you home
I just wanna take you home
Love is a gentle thing
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
This song reminds me of my current partner, he loves me so deeply it’s thickening. His love is like drugs it leaves me addicted and wanting more. Someday I hope he’s the one I marry, that he’s the one I start a family with. I want to hold him as he cries, care for him when he’s ill, and wake up next to him everyday of the year. I feel like he’s the only one who truly understands me.
that's unhealthy tho?
This song makes me think of every second of love that’s been given to me that sits in a clock of time called my life and I love every moment I share with the ones I love and I hope to remember those moments when I’m old
That's beautiful ❤❤
This song makes me feel like it’s my time
This song reminds me of when i used to watch the ceiling crying myself to sleep wondering when it was all going to end. All the memories of my life kinda pass through me in one moment.
I want to be a man more than anything, I see the tv glow, I see it when I'm alone, but I'm too happy being a girl, I love being a girl, It's all I've ever known, but deep I'm my soul, I'm a boy.
This song reminds me of me and her spending sm time together laughing in person and on call. I miss her sm.
Love is a gentle thing
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring💍❕
yours is thicker than a velvet
ring❕
This reminds me of the compare and contrast of my healthy current relationship and toxic previous ones
without a doubt the best song on this album, even though i dont have a clue what the lyrics mean
my theory is that when you wrap a ring made of fabric or velvet around your finger it’s thick in between them. could symbolize marriage or promises etc… and when people say they’re in the thick of love it’s like love is deep and powerful. i think it’s mainly about loving someone deeply in a childish way. that’s what I like to think anyway
pretty sure it’s about liza being a prostitute but their partner benny’s love outweighs their judgment
“Velvet Ring is about a couple but the woman, named Liza, is prostituting herself. The man, Benny, is aware of this which is shown in the line “Benny know how she was getting paid.” After this Liza becomes pregnant and although her and Benny struggle with money he decides to stay with her because their love for each other is so strong.”
these comments are literally touching my soul like how can a soul bring such crucial memories to so many people
Why are these comments so poetic and touching
this song reminds me of how every time it rained my mom would prepare a big mug of hot chocolate and we would sit in our backyard and enjoy the warm hot chocolate together in the rain. she moved away so i don't see her much anymore but sometimes i wish i could just sit down in the rain with my mama and enjoy a mug of hot chocolate with no care in the world.
This is so beautiful
thank you for this, it draws a bunch of memories out
this song, reminds me of all those times, I have lost my family and friends
This song reminds me when i woke up early for online classes and making breakfast while in class. The cold weather, my big Harry Styles cardigan that my mom made and my mom sleeping in my bed next to my desk. Dark but comfy times
I first heard this song when I was sitting in my bed going in and out of depression. I've never heard another song like it.
This song reminded me of passing through a Forrest to get to the lake. Later I took care of baby opossums, I used to imagine someone with me when I passed through the trail, the love of my life, a lady. But now this song makes me platonically think of my best friend despite the topic of the song
thank you for making this you are the resson my note will go down in history peace out world :3
I am nine years old, running barefoot in my backyard, running through the dried up glen out back. I am laughing with my sisters, the hysterical kind of laughter that makes your ribs burn as if your heart is about to burst. The kind of laughter that's the most prevalent in memory, the kind of laughter that is childish and sweet and wild. I am laying on the trampoline, staring up at the clouds, fighting with my sisters over who got which superpowers. I am making fairy gardens at recess with my best friend, piling chunks of moss and grass into houses with imaginary owners. I am fearless and loud and emotional. I am nine years old, my ice cream is leaking from its cone down my wrist, I am laughing, crying, laughing.
This is my favourite song ☆
