Sorry but this is essentially the best song I've heard in like 7 years. Life's been so tough on me recently and I can see my goals in sight. But it could be how exhausted I am right now, but this song came on my Spotify radio and I listened to the lyrics and just fucking broke down. Definitely a new fan. Thanks for this, I needed it.
Matthew, please do not regret With your silk in my hand And your heart in my sweat as you're Lighting the end of my last cigarette I will warm you Warm you These things that lonely ones do Baby that's what I'm here for I'll take care and make all your Wishes come true If you want to Do you want to? Don't take me for a fool There's a woman inside of me There's one inside of you, too There is an eating in my thighs Wherein thunder and lighting Men are baptized in their anger and fighting Their deceit and lies I've got lips like sugar Lips like sugar Holding my wrist to the bed He was thrusting and moaning And pressing his head To my temple His head was a temple I said you've got lips like sugar, daddy Lips like sugar Don't take me for a fool There's a woman inside of me There's one inside of you, too And she don't always do Pretty things

I think it's a depiction of two lonely people having a sexual encounter. The song is spent with the narrator painting a very seductive picture of not only herself but the scene- promises to make Matthew's wishes come true, of a place between her thighs which once entered may even be transformative! miss girl is promising life-changing coochie. She's not just some girl with a crush either. She's aware that she wants this because she craves connection and that Matthew seems like he needs it too. She ends the song by clarifying that for all the seduction and tenderness she is capable of, the "woman" inside her doesn't always do "pretty things" and because she asserts that Matthew's got a "woman" in him too he's guilty of the same. The song is about two flawed individuals getting wrapped up in an intimate fling isolated from the less flowery truth of who they are implied to be outside of it. that's just me tho 🤷🏾♀
Song's so sad, it always makes me envision some Barbossa-ish figure sighing on the high seas of some alternate dimension as he croons something similar-only he calls it "Pirate-y things."
David the baby in the photo is Adrianne Lenker, the person holding her is her uncle who strongly resembles her. It reminds me of their Mythological Beauty song, "there's a child inside of you trying to raise the child in me." I love the cover.
this is good, but even the wrost song of past album(masterpiece) sounds 100 times way better than the best song of this album. a little bit disappointed
And what was their worst song on their last album? Ive juat begun listening to this album and I think both are just different pieces you really have to sink into to truly appreciate. Her gut wrenching honesty and vulnerability isnt to be skimmed over.

How do you even write a song like this? With that melody? Over those chords? And the lyrics?
I can't wrap my head around this.

wise poet ... born wise, receptive and invulnerable in her vulnerability - beautiful
"don't take me for a fool...
there's a woman inside of me,
there's one inside of you too"
Powerful lyrics about a very uncomfortable topic. Amazing ❤️
The chord changes sounds like a Bach piece.
One of the greatest songs of the 2010s. Just unreal writing.
This has a lovely Leonard Cohen vibe about it
I just heard it for the first time, and that was my exact thought. Same rhythm. Came here to see if anyone else thinks that. Great song
Yes, and many have a Dylan influence. Can you hear the Kate Bush influenced part in this?
The beginning reminded me of famous blue raincoat.
@@dimitrikarhu7585 I definitely see that!
I think they're truly genius. They are from the same generation as me.
I'm so glad that find their works that made me find myself.
This is a powerful song
Why do i feel like I'm listening to a female version of a modern day Bob Dylan in the weirdest and coolest way????
Matthew, please do not regret
With your silk in my hand
And your heart in my sweat as you're
Lighting the end of my last cigarette
I will warm you
Warm you
These things that lonely ones do
Baby that's what I'm here for
I'll take care and make all your
Wishes come true
If you want to
Do you want to?
Don't take me for a fool
There's a woman inside of me
There's one inside of you, too
There is an eating in my thighs
Wherein thunder and lighting
Men are baptized in their anger and fighting
Their deceit and lies
I've got lips like sugar
Lips like sugar
Holding my wrist to the bed
He was thrusting and moaning
And pressing his head
To my temple
His head was a temple
I said you've got lips like sugar, daddy
Lips like sugar
Don't take me for a fool
There's a woman inside of me
There's one inside of you, too
And she don't always do
Pretty things
that 10 second break at 1:55 and i instantly swelled with tears and i love this song bruh
what is this noise..? :/
May I ask what it means to you..
꧁Basically a Ghost꧂ to me it sounds like train cars going by...
@@IlNyaPasdOrchestre To me it sounds like someone shaking an aluminum baking sheet
It sounds like an angry man coming home, swinging the door open and knocking things over
For me it sounded like a dog who is really excited and jumping around. I miss my dog.
Big Thief - Pretty Things Lyrics
Matthew, please do not regret
With your silk in my hand
And your heart in my sweat as you're
Lighting the end of my last cigarette
I will warm you
Warm you
These things that lonely ones do
Baby that's what I'm here for
I'll take care and make all your
Wishes come true
If you want to
Do you want to?
Don't take me for a fool
There's a woman inside of me
There's one inside of you, too
There is an eating in my thighs
Wherein thunder and lighting
Men are baptized in their anger and fighting
Their deceit and lies
I've got lips like sugar
Lips like sugar
Holding my wrist to the bed
He was thrusting and moaning
And pressing his head
To my temple
His head was a temple
I said you've got lips like sugar, daddy
Lips like sugar
Don't take me for a fool
There's a woman inside of me
There's one inside of you, too
And she don't always do
Pretty things
To Charles From Destiny
these freaking lyrics
can't stop listening...
heights......... best and deepest song of this year
It’s been 3 years and I still can’t figure out what this song means 😭

that's just me tho 🤷🏾♀
its about sex
I adore Big Thief! Thank you for the upload!
crying and throwing up
Here from Lana’s TikTok. Took me forever to find this
😞😞😞
Yes...this is very fine.
Beautiful
Nice! Reminds me of Kristin Hersh.
yooo what what what
FUUUUUCK I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH
Song's so sad, it always makes me envision some Barbossa-ish figure sighing on the high seas of some alternate dimension as he croons something similar-only he calls it "Pirate-y things."
Stupid
the guitar piece in the verses is reminiscent of bach’s prelude in c major, at around the halfway mark. nonetheless, both are wonderful music.
Who is the guy in the photo?, looks like Connor Jessup. ? I've fallen in love
Adrianne Lenker’s uncle holding her when he was a teenager and she was a newborn
This reminds me very much of Syd Matters
THIS SONG MAKES ME SAY FUCK OUT LOUD
Too much nostalgia in their album covers
what's the appropriate amount of nostalgia? Clearly you're the expert
This whole conversation is an indication of the weakness of RUclips.
It took a while but I think I understand the cover
Steven Johnson What do you think it means? I don't really understand
David the baby in the photo is Adrianne Lenker, the person holding her is her uncle who strongly resembles her. It reminds me of their Mythological Beauty song, "there's a child inside of you trying to raise the child in me." I love the cover.
Sounds like Julia Stone
tragic
Who's here because of Lana 👀
meee
Ummmm
not me. i’m here from my good taste
Me lmao
Tmb
this is good, but even the wrost song of past album(masterpiece) sounds 100 times way better than the best song of this album. a little bit disappointed
tommeeww this album I think was better, but barely. The storytelling on both is top notch, I wonder how they come up with this
I agree to a certain extent but pretty things? such a beautiful song, too different to compare to the last album.
tommeeww You're so wrong
And what was their worst song on their last album? Ive juat begun listening to this album and I think both are just different pieces you really have to sink into to truly appreciate. Her gut wrenching honesty and vulnerability isnt to be skimmed over.
It can't be just me but.... This is really bad.
Adrianne Lenker's voice is an acquired taste
Nah it's just you hunny
It's good if you have taste.
@@felixwinter3173 literally
No it’s just you
