Lyrics
Lesser men would call it love
Seeking shelter from the measure
Of one’s life against the gods’
So devoid of depth and pleasure
But with you it’s simple, then
Why we recognize each other:
Wounds that look alike they tend
To reflect one another
So don’t you leave your home for me
Cause All I have is string and feathers
just to sew a pair wings
That won’t hold in stormy weather
We both knew this would be brief
For where gods live no man can linger
We’d be hanging from a cliff
Holding on by just one finger

Brilliant duet of a song that is surely destined for classic status. Lau is no slouch on guitar but her pure pleasure at Chris's playing, "...nnn...", is lovely to see and hear.

[@sailfast2005]

Absolutely one of my favorites of 2023. Such an incredible performance.

[@jeffreykipperman6894]

Sublime! Two of my favorite musicians in the world. Lau, I just discovered you a few months ago, and am blown away by your music. You two should record a whole album and go on tour together!

[@juhltone1]

Holy S#¥t!! That was absolutely wonderful!!!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@JochenVogel]

"Too many notes", a wonderful song and new discovery for me named Lau Noah, who can hold her ground with ease, when she plays with one of the most gifted stage-hogs of all time. Quite lovely!

[@ethanmulvihill7177]

Leave the yapping behind. Some people like the amount of notes, like me😄. This type of subjective criticism is just needless negativity.

[@JochenVogel]

Ethan, I'll set "Too many notes" into quotation marks. It's a song by Chris Thile.@@ethanmulvihill7177

[@fliprim]

​@@ethanmulvihill7177 I think you missed the reference to Chris's self-deprecating song. This is no criticism at all. Hence the scare quotes....

[@ethanmulvihill7177]

@@fliprim You're right. 8 months ago me is STOOpid

[@MarvinRokseth]

Lau... you are a true genius.. I hope to see you on stage some time..

Discovered Lau just yesterday at Symphony Hall Birmingham England. Supporting Ben Folds. It always makes for a great night when the first act is so good. I'm a fan now, and especially pleased to see a duet with Chris Thile, another new discovery for me.
There is *SO* much great nusic out there waiting to be heard.
