That's interesting you know, because she talked in an interview about awareness that we are alive and to try not to loose that, realize that there's always mistery and new things in life and the world to discover. And she also said that when she makes music she is connecting with that awareness of life and her own spirit.
My cat was called Moog. Yesterday morning, I played this video while he slept on the end of the bed. This morning, he unexpectedly passed away. I’m so glad we shared this this moment and I’ll never forget it.
I used to write music all the time. Not great music, but I put my heart into it and it helped me get through a really tough childhood. I have been so bogged down lately with work and going back to school, but I really feel like I’m just a kid in her 30’s. Sadly, I’ve been creatively and emotionally stagnant. I have just been in “go mode” for years. A couple months ago, I decided to spend a day away from the books and out in the sun and dirt gardening and playing with the pups. I heard Adrianne Lenker on a “Jenny Lewis” station on and I just kind of stood there with my tomatoes in my hand for 3 minutes. I was so still that a hummingbird almost landed on my tomatoes. I became inspired, realized I had dug myself in such a deep hole that I sort of forgot who I was. I started picking up my guitar and writing music again. And I have found possibly my new favorite songwriter (sorry Mason Jennings, Sorry Feist) I am just so blown away by how, if you tune in and let yourself be open and present, the universe can guide you. It is not always a straight shot. Growth and repair are not linear. But life will show you some wonderful things if you let it. Let no machine take away our dream! 💕
I am experiencing a half return. In two months I'm returning to my childhood bedroom after four years in the military. I'll go to school again, this time for a higher education. I'll walk the same streets again. I'll be back where I was, where I never wanted to be again. However, I won't be the child I was. I've changed, maybe for the better.
All the best to you in this next chapter. You have changed and will continue to do so. It's a time of self reflection for sure. Stay true. Love and light to you, friend.
@@johnentwistle952 disagree strongly on kozelek. His music is drenched in ego and narcissism even when (actually especially when) he embodies the positions of others. Lenker's music often (not always?) goes all the way into own trouble using the canon of folk to do it, and I feel Lenker and feels way more honest because of that. (the latter point is a matter of taste, but I do think the stylistic difference in the former point makes Lenker far more like Nick Drake and Elliott Smith than kozelek or someone like that).
I love the apreciation she has for riff patterns and lower tones. The connection she makes between music and lyrics. I'm in awe with her. She's bursting with talent and creativity plus she's so cool like Lucas ross just said down below in the comments xD
Just bumped into her through a random video on TH-cam about open tunings on guitar.. She started singing.. And she totally got my soul in a sec. Just bought 2 of her albums on Vinyl (I am a record lover). She reminds me of José Gonzalez in a way... Really like what she does
never get old especially Zombie girl coz they've been done so many times in the past. it's just a rip off of so many other songs. The Byrds & Bob Dylan come to mind.
the thing that's beautiful about anything is that you can sing along with a smile on your face or tears rolling down your cheek, or rather both. it is such a melancholic song, that is so peaceful yet so painful to listen to. you can take any piece of the lyrics from the song, and relate it to yourself, repeating it endlessly in your head. the lyrics are so tender, and vulnerable, that you start to think to yourself how adrianne sings this without choking on her tears. i wish her nothing but endless happiness.
shes obviously one of the greatest songwriters ever, but she may just be one of the best acoustic guitar players ever to she speaks through her guitar as effortlessly as anyone ive ever witnessed. always in awe of adrianne!
I never cared for Adrianne's music before this album. These simple arrangements really contextualize her songwriting and voice for me. She's something else.
thanks to tiktok i’ve discovered her music in recent, i’m not sure how i haven’t come across these masterpieces sooner. this is by far the best version of some of her songs here in my opinion, “anything” alone made me start bawling. tiktok has never introduced me to beautiful music like this, i’m so glad to have discovered her discography later rather than never. beautiful

Discovered you my senior year of college in 2017 Got me thru the fears and anxieties of transitioning from one phase of life into another Been a fan ever since Grateful for what you do and who you are ❤️
Just realized in the first song "anything," the lyric "Dragging the newborn mountain / Didn't you believe in me?" has morphed into the mondegreen "Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You" in the title of their most recent release. Not sure what to do with that information!
Adrienne's performances at home were some of the best to come out while everyone was in lockdown because she was living remotely in a caravan out in open land. It was so warming to see her share her work from what felt like some other world when all we were seeing from most artists was the inside of bedrooms and apartments
I remember driving through borrego springs listening to hours were the birds about 6 years ago. her voice will always have a home-like quality in my world. thank you adrianne
Just saw Big Thief at Red Rocks after waiting in the rain for hours. Her presence on stage was so instantly disarming and kind that it made the fact that I was soaked totally okay
@@kirbyallen1905 The two reverse riff is just beautiful. So much of the guitar work on that album has this feeling of momentum. It makes me feel like there are things happening all over the world, like clockwork
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in my 38 years. Can't stop playing it. What a great live performance too. I'll carry this song with me for the rest of my life... ♥️♥️♥️

One of the most relevant songwriters of our time, period.
and what's that "period" for? you're an enthusiast for punctuations or simply not in the mood for other people's opinions?

wow, I haven't heard guitar like this since Elliot Smith, very moving even on it's own.
check out her recent album songs b sides - it’s all instrumentals 👍🏼

never thought of smith, a bit of drake maybe, but mostly kozelek
Very good observation

@@championette.. Thank you so much for that recommendation!
Curious one

I found out her just as you did and yes she reminded me of Jose as well
The greatest, she has the sweetest voice
Everything is beautiful
Adrienne writes some of the most inspiring, honest songs i've ever heard.
zombie girl still gives me chills every time. none of these songs seem to get old
never found the album when it came out and i cant seem to get enough ugh
YES! They never get old! She reminds me of Elliott Smith.
never get old especially Zombie girl coz they've been done so many times in the past. it's just a rip off of so many other songs. The Byrds & Bob Dylan come to mind.
Elliott Smith's spirit channeled in divine ways.

Very rarely do I encounter an artist that moves me to the core of my soul but when I do....damn, it's so good.

You should listen to her song Mary from her band Big Thief, which is a masterpiece also.
Thanks for the recommendation! I'll take a listen.
Pure, beautiful, enchanting song writing. There’s no one else like her.
Is KEXP the best or what? Love how they share such amazing artists with us all.

Lyrics, Anything -
Staring in the barrel of the hot sun
Shining with the sheen of a shotgun
Carol has a little if we need some
Joey has a ride if we wanna come
Hanging your jeans with a clothes pin
Skin still wet still on my skin
Mango in your mouth, juice dripping
Shoulder of your shirtsleeve slipping
Christmas eve with your mother and sis
Don't wanna fight but your mother insists
Dog's white teeth slice right through my fist
Drive to the ER and you put me on my wrist
Grocery store list, now you get pissed
Brunch, had calls and messages
I don't wanna be the owner of your fantasy
I just wanna be a part of your family
And I don't wanna talk about anything
I don't wanna talk about anything
I wanna kiss, kiss your eyes again
Wanna witness your eyes looking
I don't wanna talk about anyone
I don't wanna talk about anyone
I wanna sleep in your car while you'rе driving
Playing in your lap when I'm crying
Circle of pine and red oak
Circle of moss and fire smoke
Fan on the ceiling like a wheel spoke
Push the clutch in and I pull the choke
Wanna listen to the sound if you blinking
Wanna listen to your hands soothe
Listen to your heart beating
Listen to the way you move
And I don't wanna talk about anything
I don't wanna talk about anything
I wanna kiss, kiss your eyes again
Wanna witness your eyes looking
I don't wanna talk about anyone
I don't wanna talk about anyone
I wanna sleep in your car while you're driving
Laying in your lap when I'm crying
Weren't we the stars in Heaven
Weren't we the salt in sea
Dragon in the new warm mountain
Didn't you believe in me?
You held me the whole way through
When I couldn't say the words like you
I was scared Indigo but I wanted to
I was scared Indigo but I wanted to
And I don't wanna talk about anything
I don't wanna talk about anything
I wanna kiss, kiss your eyes again
Wanna witness your eyes looking
I don't wanna talk about anyone
I don't wanna talk about anyone
I wanna sleep in your car while you're driving
Laying in your lap when I'm crying
the way she’s able to convey emotion in a song so beautifully , is conquering . i truly love her
i fully believe that anything is the best song ever
Nothing can calm me as quickly as this playlist can. Wow.
She is just so raw and PURE!
That is just so beautiful. " Emptiness,
what's on your mind?"
Adrianne is a literal gem. I would sit on that beach for an eternity aslong as she’s there singing.
It's been a long time since I've been captivated by lyrics like this.
Discovered you my senior year of college in 2017
Got me thru the fears and anxieties of transitioning from one phase of life into another
Been a fan ever since
Grateful for what you do and who you are
❤️
If her and Phil Elverum were to make a collaborative album, nay, even just a song, I could die in peace
You totally nailed it. 🙏
There aren’t words for how much I want that to happen.
AGREED
her voice blows my fucking mind in the best way possible
She really makes me feel alive.
Glad to be alive in Adrianne's time
Everything this beautiful soul writes is pure gold. I'm Mesmerised......
on another level, no one else compares to Adrianne Lenker at the moment
Just incredible. I swear I can smell the air there when I listen to this.
Just realized in the first song "anything," the lyric "Dragging the newborn mountain
/ Didn't you believe in me?" has morphed into the mondegreen "Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You" in the title of their most recent release. Not sure what to do with that information!
Omg didnt notice that woaa haha
She is just... incredible. Always.
The voice of the most gracious albatross. Love you, Adrianne!
wow she is really something special. I just recently discovered this artist and absolutely loving.
I don't imagine it gets much better than this.
i love her so much i cannot even count how many times i’ve listened to songs

The guitar on half return kicks so much ass
reminds me of old Pinback songs
Really love the riff in two reverse, too
@@kirbyallen1905 The two reverse riff is just beautiful. So much of the guitar work on that album has this feeling of momentum. It makes me feel like there are things happening all over the world, like clockwork
Mesmerising from start to finish
I have listened to this about 30 times over the past 2 weeks and I am not done...
Love Adrianne, this is my first time listening into her songs. "Zombie Girl" remind me to Bob Dylan "Positively 4th Street". Awesome!
just when i thought music was dying on it's arse for me, i came across this beautiful lady. thank you Adrianne Lenker an Big Thief.
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in my 38 years. Can't stop playing it. What a great live performance too. I'll carry this song with me for the rest of my life... ♥️♥️♥️
A beautiful voice and a beautiful person
In presence of a magical spirit
Ah man my current favorite artist and KEXP, what a matchup
Her music is so vulnerable and in turn makes the hardest shells soften as the heart glows.
anything and holocene is such an mood! for me it has so many similarities, both evoke that familiar and ethereal feeling
She is a songwriter poet. Absolutely enchanting and fantastically lyrical!
Her music is beautiful 😍❤️
Not sure I've ever heard a more beautiful song.
hearing balm. thanx KEXP!!!
Absolutely lovely thank you
I love her so much
Absolutely in love with this
Well, my heart just melted.

Zombie Girl
What a dream that was
I almost couldn't wake because
I was frozen in bed with a zombie girl
Vacant as a closed down fair
Sleep paralysis, I sworn I could've felt you there
And I almost could've kissed your hair
But the emptiness withdrew me
From any kind of wishful prayer
Oh, emptiness
Tell me 'bout your nature
Maybe I've been getting you wrong
I cover you with questions
Cover you with explanations
Cover you with music
Then the next night
Dreaming I could feel your skin
But the dream escaped so easily
And I wokе up to the road again
How your words ring through
Something kinda sweet and blue
And I knеw that you'd been understanding
Everything that I'd said, too
About emptiness
Tell me 'bout your nature
Maybe I've been getting you wrong
I cover you with questions
Cover you with explanations
Cover you with music
What's on your mind?
What's on your mind?
What's on your mind?
What's on your mind?
On your mind
Half Return
Shadow, shadow what a show
Every other step, there's a cross-eyed crow
Half return, half return
Minneapolis soft white snow
Thirty five bridge, hometown
Half return, half return
Standing in the yard, dressed like a kid
The house is white and the lawn is dead
The lawn is dead, the lawn is dead
Illinois toll road, Indiana plain
Roll the windows down, shoot out the change
Half return, half return
Honey in your mouth when you didn't even eat
Tears in your eyes when you pull it like a chain
Half return, half return
Standing in the yard, dressed like a kid
The house is white and the lawn is dead
The lawn is dead, the lawn is dead
Half return, half return
Dusty swing set, plastic slide
Push me up and down, take me for a ride
Standing in the yard, dressed like a kid
The house is white and the lawn is dead
The lawn is dead, the lawn is dead
Forwards Beckon Rebound
Over the Dead Sea
Keeping you company
Thinking, I'm not afraid of you now
I'm not afraid of you now
Letting my eyes close
Shedding my soft clothes
Wind blows
Wind that howls like a hound
Wind that laughs like a clown
Mystery of lack
Stabbing stars through my back
Forwards, beckon, rebound
Forwards, beckon, rebound
Virtual bedroom
Rise like a full moon
Show me pictures that hang in your house
Pictures that hang in your mouth
Candescent insects
Crosses and fishnecks
I have nothing to pray to you now
Nothing to pray to you now
Mystery of lack
Stabbing stars through my back
Forwards, beckon, rebound
Forwards, beckon, rebound
Pulling your face close
Wanting the inmost
Show me
I'm not afraid of you now
I'm not afraid of you now
Villain and violent
Infant and innocent
Baby, both arms cradle you now
Both arms cradle you now
Mystery of lack
Stabbing stars through my back
Forwards, beckon, rebound
Forwards, beckon, rebound
Forwards, beckon, rebound
