[Chorus]
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 less I seek my source)
Closer I am to fine, yeah
Closer I am to fine, yeah

Brace yourselves, Indigo Girls. The Barbie wave is coming.
I was just about to comment the same!
Lordy, I'm not sure we can prepare for that, lol! :)
Yep. All of the top comments will say "Barbie brought me here." And "Thanks Barbie for introducing me to this gem." And then everyone who already knew this song before Barbie will be defensively and proudly declaring their superior fandom status lmao.
@@AdelineCowgirl Nailed it
😎🤘🏼
Great for Greta Gerwig and her team for putting this indelible song front and center in a huge hit movie.
Best part of the movie. Is the music. Lol 😊
bullshit reply, great movie great song
Agree 💯
@@kathybarry835 nah, the movie sucked
Indigo Girls are getting some well deserved shine thanks Barbie.
Not just because of the movie though, more because of their amazing racks.
About time!
❤
Felt very bashful when that joke came up lol
What do you even mean? This song is in so many movies… it’s only noticed when it’s in a popular movie that people killed to watch :/
Thanks Barbie? ❤
May sound like hyperbole but I believe Closer to Fine is one of the best folk-pop songs of the past 50 years.
It's one of my all-time favorite songs.
No lie. I loved this song when it came out when I was in college and it sounds AMAZING still ❤
It definitely has a throwback 60s vibe. Well done!
It's the opposite of hyperbole. It's understatement.
Agreed
I hate it when I'm driving and jamming out to this song, and Ryan Gosling randomly pops up in my backseat... Startles me every time.
I wouldn't mind Ryan gosling randomly popping up from my backseat , I mean He's Ryan gosling 😅🤭
@@cosplayandmusicfreak8795 Oh I agree... but it's still startling tho
@@dante340 ya lol 😅
Did he bring at least his roller blades with him?
😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰
So thankful this was in the barbie movie, I've been trying to remember this song for years! My mom used to play this on cassette in the car all the time, especially when we'd all drive to yellowstone, I miss her tons ❤
WOW! ☀️!
Your comment brought tears to my eyes. I feel you. ❤
I love stories like this, thank you for sharing ❤
🥹
Aw that’s so special, and fitting that it was Barbie’s driving song 😌
Wonder what it's like the first time you harmonize with somebody and realize the two voices together just happen to be freaking perfect.
I never knew this, but I googled and they know each other from elementary school!!! What are the chances?!
I had this happen ONE time in my life and I stupidly quit singing after. It's like dropping fast in an elevator....you wanna stop and say something, but you'd lose the moment. Then you both smile as you're singing.....cuz you know you're knocking it out of the park. Talent is a mix of perspiration and being in the right place at the right time. Yet, I've met people on the street who could out-perform the best popular artists out there. Some things just are the way they are........
An odd couple of sorts, my friend and I met 20 years ago at karaoke. I'm a white male he's a black male. He heard me sing, I heard him sing, and somehow we decided to start making "duets" out of hard rock songs. We would come up with ridiculous harmonies that weren't in the original songs and people went nuts!!!
We both were students of music, so we understood keys and scales, and we just fed off each other... No performance was ever the same, we just improvised...
@@danielleoconnell7513 They were meant to be
Magic... That's how It feels ❤
The 90's was a golden era for female acoustic singer songwriters: Indigo Girls, Melisa Etheridge, K.D. Lang, Tracy Chapman, Suzan Vega, Sheryl Crow, 4 Non Blondes, Natalie Merchant, Shawn Colvin, Sarah Mcglaughlin, Nora Jones, Jewel
I would have loved Lilith Fair tbh
Yes! I'd forgotten about some of these artists. Off to listen to Melissa and Natalie and Nora... Thanks for the brilliant list! :)
@@kristina.5453 My pleasure. Enjoy.
Tori amos, desiree, erykah badu, sinead oconnor!
Fiona apple too
I will never forget sometime in the early 90s my grandmother came home and told me The Indigo girls came to her Senior Center in CT and did a small show for the community of old folks that day. She was so excited to tell me about it..... At the time, I thought "big deal".... Now 21 years after she has passed, hearing this song is bringing fond memories.... The point I wanted to make was that these girls were on the verge of Stardom at that point, however, made time to stop in to a community senior center and do a free show.... That right there says alot about the people they are.
That is so great to hear ! Thank You!
They were already big in early 90s! First big song/album was 87. I fell in love with them in the 80s! Amazing they went to your grandmas old age home!
I'm not crying...you're crying
You didn't say big deal,to her, did you?😳
An egotistic musician, performing at a retirement home, said "Does anyone here know who I am?" An elderly lady in the front row said "No, dear. But if you go to the nursing station, they can help you."
"I wrap my fear around me like a blanket, I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it" words to live by
Word. The line slammed into me when I heard it. I relate to it a little too much.
Very relatable! I keep my blanket of fear around me. It has become my ship of safety. I won't sink it.
Exactly
You forgot the cherry on top of those lyrics, and that's: "I'm crawling on your shores" at the end. It completely gives hope to an otherwise hopeless statement. I feel sad for anyone who would want to "live by" the lyrics you mentioned without the entire line.
I like " Well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable and lightness has a call that's hard to hear" ❤ 🙏
I was walking down Market Street Manchester UK one lunchtime in 1989, and I heard a tremendous song coming from the foyer of a HMV shop. It was Amy and Emily performing live, singing Closer To Fine. I had to buy the single, which they both signed. I treasure it.
As a queer person, this song has been an anthem for me since my days coping with and then recovering from attending a Christian college. I just saw the Barbie movie in Argentina with my fiance. Only person in the theatre who laughed at the teenager going, "What is with this song!?" Brought me so much joy. Thank you Greta, and thank you to Indigo Girls for writing one of the best, most therapeutic and healing songs ever. Legends forever.
My experience with this song was very similar! I also was cooing with all the bullying & homophobia (got called a Dyke when I was F-12 years old). My dad actually introduced me to this song and it’s something that not only makes me feel connected to him, but also to myself. I’ve been a fan of this song since before I even knew I was gay, and it’s gotten me through so many stages in my life! Might have started happy crying when I saw Barbie singing along to this song for the first time. Not to mention, I only had Barbies as a kid, Ken’s were beneath me, and my Barbies would date & get married constantly. In ✨hetrospect✨, I think that was a bit of a clue 🔎 😂🌈
What’s wrong with going to a Christian college?
@nateboy123 I suspect quite a lot, when you're a young, repressed, confused lesbian.
@@IcePrincessWHN why would a lesbian go to a Christian college in the first place (no disrespect or anything. I’m just wondering)?
@nateboy123 many reasons. Most likely is family pressure. My first thought would be that they were raised in a sheltered Christian household and told they could only go to a Christian college or no college at all.
I cannot prove it, but this is probably the best song ever.
I agree! 💖
It really is
Insanely, ridiculously, even criminally underrated by so many!
Not even the best song on the album.
Exhibit A: “Well, darkness has a hunger that’s insatiable”.
One of my all time favourite lines: The best thing you've ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously, it's only life after all. There's neverending comfort in those words.
Thats my favorite verse too.
It's life and life only - Bob Dylan
you missed the point
yes
Agreed 💗💗💗💗
I am thrilled that the trailer for upcoming Barbie movie includes this incredible Indigo Girls song. It roped me in 40 years ago and still holds up. And as the movie will tell, it sends a message that is opposite to Barbie, yet real world Barbie loves it. Hallelujah! Congratulations, Amy and Emily.
It only took me 13 years to discover this because of Greta Gerwig and her Barbie movie. Wow! What an American treasure! Fantastic music and lyrics! Thank you Indigo Girls!
Not sure if 13 years old or thinks this song is 13 years old 🤔
It fits so perfectly, just like everything in the movie 🩷🩷🩷
@withastone Or has been searching for it for 13 years?
My daughter did not know this song. So glad it was in the Barbie movie so she could experience it!
@@lkav1313i was born in 1984 so I had no idea what it was. Was it even famous in 1989? Maybe just in America?
We really need this song now more than ever. Who else is here to escape for a little while?
watching during 2020 riots and covid19
Me
Me ...... covid 19, lockdown, riots.... happy to listen to the wonderful indigo girls 😊
I just saw them on the TODAY show this morning and here I am.
Andrea Dragonfly from f
"I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind - got my paper and I was free" - love that.
Yeah, that feeling when you have your degree and can leave the university and actually do things.
One of my favorite lines of all time.
I remember them fir the old days when I had so many dreams and so much hope. I realuze in some ways I have changed the world in my own way. I love this song ! Keep being your true self because you reallybdo matter and your voice deserves to be heard as much as this song does!
Sorry I can not see well I can spell.
So proud their song is in the Barbie movie for all the world to discover the ladies! I was introduced to the Indigo Girls in 1990 by a fellow Navy Woman and they have been one of my all time favorites ever since!!
These two also did some collaborative work with R.E.M.
I can't make it to the end of this song without tears rolling down my face. It reaches to the depths of me.. just how much I focused on things that meant so little in the end.
@@stardust86x Me too!
The irony is that by the time we realize it, it's too late.
Darkness has a hunger that's insatiable and lightness has a call that's hard to hear. You're exactly right.
..."twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before, and I went in seeking clarity..."
Same
This song continues to do the business in 2022. Love it.
2023 now and it never sounded better. These women made magic. 👏
That’s the truth
2023 now
Saw Indigo Girls live tonight. Q&A was encouraged between songs. First one: “ARE YOU SISTERS!?” Emily instantly zinged, “Uhm, did you find us from the Barbie movie?”
It is so cool that a whole new generation is finding you ❤
I caught the NPR interview with the Indigo Girls today about "Closer to Fine" making into the Barbie movie. I hadn't heard that song in decades. It brought me to tears. So many memories from the year that song came out, so many memories of listening to that song that year. Thank you, Indigo Girls, for being such a beautiful part of my youth.
I bought the tape and, while playing it in the truck, had to pull over and cry it was so beautiful. Wuss achievement unlocked.
Your comment, made me cry as well. Such an earnest and beautiful comment, like you
Right there with you.
Y'all need a friend in the car to sing this with you. ❤
Its just one of the most perfect songs ever, the lyrics, the music and harmonies, period.❤
clearly you have never heard the anthem of the soviet union
It certainly is up there. It is one of those songs that holds up 30+ years later (Christ that makes me feel old).
@@shaunabraham2799 oh please, you must be joking, bootlicker. 🙄
Uh hello, penny whistle?
It has helped me judge myself less harshly for decades.
This song is perfect. Happy Barbie brought it forward, it needs to be kept close in our hearts.
I just heard this song in the Barbie movie for the first time in a long time. Then I went home and started watching a show called Tiny Beautiful Things on Disney+ and heard it playing again in the end credits. That's twice in one day that I was reminded of the awesomeness of the song!
These ladies totally saved my life when I was in college. Their music gave me so much encouragement and hope.
+Mary H Me too!
I'm sorry
I wonder just how many people they, and this song especially, have helped pulled back from the brink of despair. I was one. And I need them again now, during COVID19 (/20). We love you girls! And we thank you.
These ladies saved my life and they don't know it. Awesome indigo girls.
@Big Bubba How? How did Cheers do it for you? Was it the back and forth between Sam and Diane? Was it the theme song? Or did you just enjoy bars, and as such, enjoyed a show about a bar? Genuinely curious.
Reminds me of a more simple, happier time when I was a better version of myself.
Yeah. The 20 years since the 90s have really kicked my ass. Not that I was particularly happy back then, either. But I had a lot of hope for turning things around once I got the hell out of Dodge. And the fact is, I was still a better version of myself than now.
However, mental health treatment back then was very primitive compared to today (if you can pay! - which, the one great blessing I have, is I can). And I couldn't really start to get better until the last few years or so.
@@squamish4244 No shit, man
Stephen Moleski totally understand....me too ...
ouch
That version is still inside of you. You know what you need to do to get back there. But because you are still alive, you've got the chance for redemption. Go for it
this song was the first duet my mother and I ever did together. now that she's gone, the song means more than ever.
Soooooo sorry for your loss. 💔
Sending you and your mom love and blessings🌟💖🌟
Thank you.
So awesome you were able to experience that with her.
My grandmama used to play this on her long journeys from Tulsa to Yellowstone. Thanks for the memories ❤
"The less I seek my source for some definitive, closer I am to fine..."
“Darkness has a hunger that’s insatiable, and lightness has a call that’s hard to hear.” Terrifying. Other parts of this song make me laugh out loud. At the end, sort of a “Let it Be” tone. Brilliant. And a beautiful video.
"Let it be" is really the central theme of the song. As in, "There are going to be a ton of unsolved mysteries, and each one may have more than one solution, so don't dig too deeply."
I like that part too
I am 53. I heard this song maybe 33 years ago lol. My daughter just took me to see them in Savanah, GA. Awesome and sweet. It was great!
Back in 1989 when this song came out, I don’t think anyone could’ve imagined it ending up in a successful movie about Barbie. But here we are.
college years. my lesbian soccer friends introduced me to the Indigo girls lmao.....god bless them. we are still good friends to this day. Class of 2000...
I was born in 2000. I'm married and have a full time job. I watched this video on my nth rewatch of the office.
@@ronnieacors4803 you were born in 2000 and are already married???
Are you good friends or “very good friends”?
This song is making me feel so many things right now. You ever hear a song for the first time at such a defining moment in your life and it just clicks and everything makes sense? Music has so much power, my God.
So true.
Yep Sultans of Swing 1978. I don't invoke God though.
This song shook me to the core and put everything into perspective for me in 1995 or so. I had let go of the beliefs I had been born into and was exploring meaning. This song was such a comfort. Now, it is an old treasured friend, bringing a tear to my eye. I can remember who I was and feel the journey I have been on. The Indigo Girls music has been such a gift.
I know- I was about 18 when this song came out, just starting college. I wish I could go back to that year and change a few things.
rocky mountain high had that effect on me...
Was my last year of high school, and my entire gym class was on a camping trip. One camp site over, a gathering of young hippies got together at that site to celebrate an eclipse. I remember joining them by the fire and a young woman sung this song while playing her guitar. I'm a guy but remember tearing up because the song was so beautiful. Whenever life is hard, i listen to this song to remind myself of how beautiful the world can be
🌎 ☮ ❤
This song gave me so much hope. As I was raised in an evangelical hatred religion I set myself Free. And they gave me so much hope.
Who came here because their co-worker kept singing this acapella during our overnight Sales Report Consolidation meeting?
TUNA!
Actually, I went to REM's song " It's the end of the world as we know it ".
No more acapella, please, Andy.
Yes and an annoying killjoy woman kept trying to stifle the moment
TUNA! are you kidding me?
As a guy with Borderline Pers. Disorder who has spent his whole adult life in therapy and finally fired my last shrink, I have always, always, always cherished this beautiful song.
As a guy who worked in psych hospitals for my first 20 years of adult life, before becoming a teacher (for another 20 years now), I would suggest that you quit firing therapists.
Yes, there are a lot of mediocre ones out there, but chances are, at least one of them was a good one.
My experience has been that the more right they are, the less you like them.
In your case it is your own perception of everything that is drastically colored by powerful emotions, making you think that things are true that are not.
You must learn to trust a close circle of friends (yes, they are the people who have tried to tell you this). You must trust them more than your own perception. You must learn to catch yourself before launching into emotional overdrive tirades.
@@Logan-wv8qf you're the first thumbs down I've ever given. Apparently you don't like to listen to other people's truth. Many times too much of this contributes to a disorder. The black and white of it all. Therapists stop listening to their clients, if ever they did in the first place. They start listening to other doctors and forget, completely about listening to the person that is affected most by them.
I really wonder sometimes who is actually f*****d up? A person gets up the nerve to finally fire a crappy therapist and someone, without knowing the circumstances and thinking they have some authority, throws an absolute at it. Maybe you should listen to the music and stop judging. If the music isn't therapeutic for you.... Maybe you should go get some therapy!!!! Stop ruining it for other people... Dick!!!!!
Get it straight!!!!!!
You have the right and responsibility to do that for yourself. I'm glad you did. I hope you're doing well and respecting yourself. ✌️😎
@@Raven-yj5pp Wow, ok then. Hey I’m just offering 25 years of experience with many, many, people experiencing bi-polar disorder. I will try to break it down for you, with compassion. Maybe you will be able to help someone.
Being bi-polar means having “changing brain chemistry.”
All of our perceptions of the world are based on that brain chemistry (which for most of us is “non-changing.”
If I am bi-polar, and my brain chemistry begins to change, the change is so subtle that I will not be aware of the change.
That means my perception of everything and everyone around me is quietly, subtly changing too (without my awareness). My judgement is changing, without my awareness.
I will not notice my slowly increasing change in perception and slow loss of judgement. It will all look normal to me.
My family and friends will begin to see the changes first. They are seeing my degraded judgement in my attitudes and actions, from outside of me.
If they can catch me and connect me with treatment early enough, with help, I can get medication to bring my brain chemistry back to the normal range.
Left unchecked, my perception and judgement begins to rapidly erode and I become increasingly irrational, with no awareness of my loss of judgement. This could have potentially disastrous social, relationship, financial and even legal consequences. I see many bi-polar people in prison, connected to things they did while their judgement was gone.
That’s why having a therapist and friends and family, who will tell you what you need to hear, and insist that you take action immediately, is critical, whether you want to hear it or not.
As my judgement erodes, l will have a tendency to reject therapists and/or family and friends who are giving me honest and important feedback about how I am actually degrading in judgement (as they can see it in my increasing hostility and rejection of feedback).As I lose more judgement, I will become increasingly angry, and hostile, with anyone who tries to give me feedback that disagrees with my “altered perception.” Eventually, as my brain chemistry continues to shift, I completely lose touch with reality, possibly leading to a forced hospitalization (5150), or possibly an arrest.
There you go, 25 years experience, no charge, friend.
@@Logan-wv8qf I'm not doing this right now. I have way more than 25 years of experience. But if you can't just enjoy the music f*** off . It's just music. Can you let anyone anyone enjoy it or do you have to flex your narcissistic muscles???????
Just so you know... Last Dance said Borderline, not bipolar..... Just goes to show how much you people, that think you have some sort of authority, can f*** it all up by not listening. You proved my point. Now... F*** off!!!!! Dick
My mom used to play this in the car for me all the time growing up on the way to school and let me tell you, seeing a very similar moment in the Barbie movie was not what I expected
Hi Barbie!!! This song is the perfect song to have in the Barbie movie, a movie embracing and supporting women and all the challenges we have to face in balancing the many aspects of juggling career, motherhood, stress… I loved it when it came out in the 90s, and love it even more now! It’s literally a perfect song lyrically and musically.
Oops sorry it was released in 1989…
this song makes me think of my mom
this was our favorite song
I shouldn't be crying right now
Hugggs
It's always ok to cry... It proves your human
“And the less I seek my source for some definitive, the closer I am to fine”
Interpretation: The less I search for meaning and happiness, the sooner it will find me.
These ladies music helped my through a period of my life where my mental health was very precarious. Love you girls.
I'm walk the same journey now, also inspired by this song.
Those beautiful pre cell phone days.
😢...yep.
Lyrics:
I'm trying to tell you something about 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 till I sank it
I'm crawling on your shores
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 less I seek my source)
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
The less I seek my source for some definitive
(The less I seek my source)
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine
I stopped by the bar at 3 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 Id 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
Yeah we go to the doctor, we go to the mountains
We look to the children, we drink from the fountains
Yeah we go to the bible, we go through the workout
We read up on revival and we stand up for the lookout
Theres more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
The less I seek my source for some definitive
(The less I seek my source)
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine
Thank you for posting the lyrics ☺️
These ladies made it ok to be gay when I was a teenager. I will forever be grateful for them.
me too 🤗
Me three!
Saved some lives, maybe.
@Ryan Powell you gotta admit that the indigo girls slap
@Ryan Powell yo why u mad
Best song ever. Saw these beautiful women at Lilith Fair in Toronto in the 90s,with my best friend ,Paula. Rest in Peace,my beautiful Paula.❤❤
So Awesome. Impressive to be reminded they created this song out of thin air.
indeed!
College days. When you appreciated all kinds if music back then.
This scene was so wild because I almost always play this song on road trips when my connection goes out driving in the middle of nowhere bc of downloaded Apple Tunes or whatever. I felt seen tbh.
You guys are so awesome, I appreciate you for being such an old soul! Been married 40 years and your songs touched me!! YOU ARE MY FAVORITE!!!!!!!!
So good!!! Makes me so nostalgic!
This never gets old.
I saw them at the Congress Theater in Chicago. I was one of two males in the crowd. The other was there with his daughter and he was trying to understand her. Bless him and they were fucking amazing.
I think I was a late comer to this song, the first memory I have about hearing this song was in grade 9 (1994) art class. It was a rainy, gloomy fall morning in a cinderblock room lit by unshaded florescent lights, and floating through the air amidst the smell of water color paint was this song played on an old 1980s boom box. I feel simultaneously old and young now lol
This is now the THIRD Time an upcoming Movie trailer has included a 90s song I COMPLETELY forgot existed. Thanks Barbie.
Well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
And lightness has a call that's hard to hear
I swear songwriters are guided by something bigger than themselves.
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mystical. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the
emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand
wrapped in awe, is as good as dead -his eyes are closed. - Albert Einstein
Damn, I always thought the line was "And lightness has a calm that's hard to hear".
We're on the same page.
marcmarc1967 in the larger scheme of life that could very well be......
This song and “landslide” hits me straight in the heart every single time. Makes me remember the ones that I’ve lost but it also gives me hope. ❤
Me too 🎉
INDIGO GIRLS - there is only a once in a lifetime for this type of talent. They are perfectly in tune with each other and the performances are superb!
I love that KT Tunstall is singing this song on her concerts!!
A brilliant song from 2 brilliant women. One of my favourites for 26 years and counting.
Love. Them
The best
Oune ouf muy favourites tuoo
32 years and counting now...
I'm here because I bought this album on cassette in 1989 when it came out, and I was a freshman in high school. I think I know every word, and every note of every song on this album. By heart. #yesimanold
Only a bit older than me. I too was either a freshman or a sophomore, but I didn't find this majesty until, maybe, 1994.
+Michael Neil meeeee too
I was a senior in college. #nowthatisold
ETruesdel not that old... what 42?
I was past high school when I heard and bought this cassette, so I'm older than you.
When I first heard this group in around 1989, never would I believe I would get to be back stage after an incredible 1000 seat benefit concert they did for the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. I freaked out meeting my idols. Then quickly realized they are human just like you and I. So love the music they put out.
They saved me too in college. I learned how to play the guitar with their songs...singing with them..closer I am too 🙂! I hope they both know how much they guided my soul during those times. I love you guys!
Sometimes the simplest guitar chords and brilliant lyrics make the best songs.
Definitely!
true words
AGREE
alhalhalal1 I've been struggling to master this song forever on guitar.
Well Stated.
This song speaks to me in oh so many ways ! I'm turning 50 in a couple of days.Ifound some answers,other times I didn't but the sum of it is be happy,do your best and treat others with kindness and respect ,y,know the way you'd want to be treated .God bless the Indigo girls and y'all-Eric xxxxx
Had a really bad day. All in all a terrible day, and I dont have many of those. This song turned my day around. It's only life after all. The power of music. #love
These girls are magnificent! My sister in law, Libby, and me, used to sing these tunes together as if we were them. So much fun.
Complete genius these two! I had front row seats and I was in awe. As a musician, a female one at that, I don't say that about many . But these two are unreal!
Til this day I'm still shocked at how powerful this song actually is, for an acoustic-styled song. 🤘
Saw them June 1989 at Jones Beach NY with my new wife at the end of my internship year, 3 weeks prior to a 3 year hellish residency. They opened for and sang with Neil Young. Concert ended with a walk on performance by Bruce Springsteen. I can remember like it was yesterday. Haven’t heard the song in years until my 2 queer daughters took me to see Barbie. They’re fans now.
They absolutely embodie the Little Five Points vibe of Atlanta from the mid to late 1980s. It's special and I wish we could do it all over again. IYKYK
Andy and Jim brought me here
TUNA! Are you KIDDING me?!
Only reason O'm here. Random but Target is selling the Office t-shirt in mens and women's.
You’re welcome?
Good god, this song is simply perfect....seems incredible that mere mortals could create it.
They aren't mere mortals!
amen! XD
I agree. I think this song was written by Amy. Emily has written a song in the same (rare) category: Gallileo. How long til my soul get's it right/Has any human being achieved that kind of light?/I call on the resting soul of Gallileo/King of nigh-vision, king of insight

Amy Ray, on NPR's All Things Considered, July 25, 2023:
"The song is such a great song and a great sing along. And, you know, this is the kind of thing where it's like - you hope generations, you know, pass it down to each other and the community just expands because it's all about that. It's all about people sharing music and feeling good and joy and feeling good about themselves and just, you know, realizing life is a - can be a beautiful thing and try to believe in yourself."
Amen.
1989 Toronto Canada they opened for REM at Maple Leaf Gardens and stole that show, I was 18 and have loved them ever since.. such a part of my youth. Thank you Ladies
I am only 11 years old but I love this song so much!
Listen to Chris Williamson and see how you like her.
I'm also 11 and love Indigo Girls so much!
...I remember seeing this video on "120 minutes" on MTV in 1989, rushed over to the Wherehouse and bought the cassette!!...I was already a HUGE FAN of 10,000 Maniacs, REM, Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians, Cowboy Junkies, and so forth!!...then and now, the Indigo Girls KICK SOME SERIOUS ASS FOR DAYS AND DAYS!!...LOOOOOOOOOVE THEM!!...
Ya know, I’ve been to lots and lots of concerts. On a whim, my girlfriend and I decided to go see them at the Gwinnett Convention Center(not sure the name of the venue but it was in Gwinnett County, Ga). This concert is def one of the most relaxing and enjoyable I’ve ever been to see. I was absolutely enthralled with their talent! And the harmonies? Omg! Like listening to angels sing!!!!
I remember this from my wonderful early 1990s! Wish I could relive those days. Best times of my life.
Definitely 'Closer to Fine' every time I have the privilege to hear this amazing song!
Tuna! Are you kidding me??
Glad I'm not the only one! Hahha
it's more like: Tuunaah! are you kidding me??
Precisely why I'm here!
Yep! Same here...LoL
Andy, ANDY....no a capella, okay?
Not only is this one of the most beautiful masterpieces ever written but lyrically it speaks to me on so many levels. These women are so underapreciated
Great that a whole new wave of women are discovering the Indigo Girls. I'm going to see them live for the second time later this month - can't wait!! :o)
Why just women? I'm a hetrosexual male in my 60s and I've been listening and enjoying them for 30 years!
4 years prostrate to the higher mind got my paper and I was free!!! So true
I love the message of this song. No matter how far, how long or how deep you search for a definitive meaning in life, you'll end up right back to where you've started. The irony though is that accepting existential defeat can actually facilitate true happiness.
beautifully said!!
sad to say that I am living proof of said statement...sniff....very well said
John Owens well said!!
Rather circle till I jump my limit cycle, or die.
John Owens Amen!
Now I'll never be able to hear this song again without thinking of Barbie being freaked out by Ken and the car doing a total 180 in the air. Thanks Barbie :P
I totally forgot about this lovely song! Been living under a rock for a minute. I might have to see this Barbie movie.
1989, wow. So timeless you'd never guess what year.
eric strada that and R.E.M. Green :) good times ❤️
Who's here because of their awesome mothers? Thanks mom, for everything!
First time I heard this 30 years ago, every word moved me, today it still speaks to me, it's such a wonderful song, it gave me a sense of self belief. Perfection.
The BARBIE movie brought me here!😊 I'm glad! How have I never heard this great before!
I saw them 10 times, they still have the same affect on me 25 years later. man music was so much better then.
steve Snodgrass yes, yes it was
I'm not sure about that comment. You are comparing what is on modern radio which for the most part is not music. There is some good music here and there.
I saw them 5 times once in Ann Arbor and 4 times in metro Detroit
Product of the 70s and 80s here.... so much great music back then.
But there is so much more great music now than ever. But dont just let yourself be spoon fed CORPORATE MACHINE just because its easy.
I get it... we're all busy as hell and most just cant muster the time and energy to figure out where to look. Access has never been this easy in history. Alas.... how bad do you want it.
22 and counting! Always an amazing show. I always walk away with a smile because it happened but a tear that I have to wait for another show!
What a lyrically profound song! Still shed tears when I hear this song. Loved it then...and it still holds a special place in my heart now. Thanks Amy and Emily!
Here from the 9-1-1 season 5 finale montage, and I love it
I've loved Indigo Girls since 1990. Free Spirits, not singing about lost loves or revenge for love. Honest and a good example for girls everywhere.
And being in the Barbie Movie was such a great surprise! I can't wait til you hit Sactown!
