i love this, there is nothing more big thief that allowing the audience to sing along and change the lyrics. there’s no extra “incomprehensible” after “let me be” in this song but it’s so beautiful that it happened and they just let it happen, love this band
All a part of the organic live process that will determine how it finally looks when released (IF released that is, knowing just how many great songs she’s debuted last few years on stage either solo or with Big Thief that have not yet seen the light of day). Part of what makes them endlessly fascinating to watch live multiple times, not knowing what’s coming next
Highway 17 Cotton candy rain Driving with my lover We missed our plane So we added on the hours To see the Lupin flowers Way up passed the border We blew through Thunder Bay The pine trees are narrow A billion broken arrows The Ravens and crows Robins and the Sparrows All across Ontario Static on the stereo And swimming in the Lake Old woman bay Traveling with some stuff I left when I was a kid Mr bear and the Woden box I hid Full of broken gadgets That don’t mean nothing now The only thing I’ll keep Are the letters and the photographs In two days it’s my birthday I’ll be 33 That doesn’t really matter Next to eternity But I like a double number And I like an odd one too. And everything I see from now on will be something new I’m afraid of getting older That’s what I’ve learned to say Society has given me the words to think that way The message spins and spirals Don’t get saggy don’t get gray But the soft and lovely silvers are now falling on my shoulder. My mother and my grandma My great grandmother too Wrinkle like the River Sweeten like the dew. And as silver as the rainbow scales That shimmer purple blue How can beauty that is living Be anything but true. So let gravity be my sculpted Let the wind do my hair Let me dance in front of people Without a care Let me be naked alone With nobody there With mistmatched sock and shoes and stuff stuffed in my underwear Incomprehensible Let me be
Unfortunately not - but Reddit has a quality audio recording of one of Swedish shows. All Night All Day, second song played at Green Man, solo acoustic was band version in Sweden with killer harmonies from Buck Meek. Ditto band version of ‘Sweeter Skin’ with Buck was beautiful at Green Man - not sure there’s a band version out there anywhere yet
My thought too on first listen (the chorus at least) A lot of Crazy Horse in what they do. Verses are what makes this so affecting though. She has an incredible knack for writing bangers and beauties.

Highway 17
Cotton candy rain
Driving with my lover
We missed our plane
So we added on the hours
To see the Lupin flowers
Way up passed the border
We blew through Thunder Bay
The pine trees are narrow
A billion broken arrows
The Ravens and crows
Robins and the Sparrows
All across Ontario
Static on the stereo
And swimming in the Lake
Old woman bay
Traveling with some stuff
I left when I was a kid
Mr bear and the Woden box I hid
Full of broken gadgets
That don’t mean nothing now
The only thing I’ll keep
Are the letters and the photographs
In two days it’s my birthday I’ll be 33
That doesn’t really matter
Next to eternity
But I like a double number
And I like an odd one too.
And everything I see from now on
will be something new
I’m afraid of getting older
That’s what I’ve learned to say
Society has given me the words to think that way
The message spins and spirals
Don’t get saggy don’t get gray
But the soft and lovely silvers are now falling on my shoulder.
My mother and my grandma
My great grandmother too
Wrinkle like the River
Sweeten like the dew.
And as silver as the rainbow scales
That shimmer purple blue
How can beauty that is living
Be anything but true.
So let gravity be my sculpted
Let the wind do my hair
Let me dance in front of people
Without a care
Let me be naked alone
With nobody there
With mistmatched sock and shoes and stuff stuffed in my underwear
Incomprehensible
Let me be
beautiful
Beautiful 🏴

@@ChrisSkudderMedia Lenker is a great songwriter, obviously influenced by Neil Young, but her own artist in every way. Superb
