Had to put my dog down yesterday. My best friend of 14 years. Just been drinkin’ and cryin’ and listening to this record. Trying to see this sadness as a gift.
Sorry to hear about your loss. I had to put my dog down recently. "Sadness as a Gift" and Mia Dyson's "Thank You" are two songs helping me to cope with the loss of my best friend.
Sorry, man. Not sure is the best record (amazing and beautiful as it is) to listen to in these circumstances. Have another six pack and put Exile on Main St or something like that. Best wishes.
I’m 28 and feel a little lost. This song was a gift to me as I sat on my back deck listening to it, watching the moon slowly disappear behind the tall maple tree in my backyard
Do you remember running? The purity of the air around Braiding willow branches into a crown That love is all I want I'm a child humming Into the clarity of black space Where stars shine like tears on the night's face With a cool wind Mama, what happened? I never thought we'd go this long Now 31 and I don't feel strong And your love is all I want When I was seven I saw the first film that made me scared And I thought of this whole world ending I thought of dying unprepared We moved into a real house A wild field behind it I wanted to be an inventor, collected scraps to make a portal I wanted so much for magic to be real So many dreams of flying Rising high over the crowd And they'd go, "Oh man, look at her go" And I'd go, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh Do you remember coming to the hospital when I was 14? My friends all left me there spinning, Dad was angry But you saw everything And you made me laugh as the nurses undressed me You held my hand as they put the needle in me I never saw you cry, not until our dog died And the whole family came back together We held her body as they put the needle in her And then I saw you cry And then I saw you cry
I listen to a lot of sad music, it's kind of my whole thing. But it's still really rare that a song will make me cry just hearing it. This has to be a contender for the actual saddest song I've ever heard. 10/10
When people refer to “an amazing lyric”- they are referring to songs like this. This has a stream of consciousness feel that just didn’t feel forced in the slightest way. It was effortless like recalling a vivid memory. Thanks for showing us the real house A.L !
Saw Adrianne the other night, she performed this song solo with just guitar. I have goosebumps thinking about it. This is genuinely the most hauntingly beautiful song I have ever heard in my life. A song you will remember where you were and what you were doing the first time you heard it.
I have been saying this!! She's so amazing and the way she can tell a story with lyrics is reminiscent of Mark!! Also, the guitar melody feels very familiar to early SKM.
this is one of the purest examples I know of putting an authentic voice combined with honest lyrics over a fairly rudimentary chord pattern and creating beauty.
On dear! On the album this song is so distinct and leaves so much space for the lyrics. But the addition of the guitar here turns it into such a toe tapper and adds such a hook
2:40 🌍🌎🌏🌬🌋🌠🌀🌊🎇🎥 " Deep Impact" made a deep impact on your 7 year young self🙇🏻 experiencing your 1st Saturn square, Adrienne. And Saturn will bring up fears in harsh eye opening ways; it also lays out the law of time and the mortality of the physical vessel. At least you took that fear and with divinely magical alchemy,✨💫🎶🎵🎼 you made music from it...from which not only you benefit, but all of us out here who have been deeply impacted by time and fear.😌

When I see Adrianne Lenker on Instagram I find her boring . Very boring . I'm not interested in what she says . But everytime I listen to Adrianne singing I love it. Especially this song . Thank you Adrianne !
MAMA WHAT HAPPENED I NEVER THOUGHT WE’D GO THIS LONG NOW 31 AND I DONT FEEL STRONG, AND YOUR LOVE IS ALL I WANT.

This song straight destroyed me. It's been five months since I put mine down. She was only 8, and it felt so sudden. I still blame myself.
Coming up in my one year anniversary of having to do the same. I’m sorry, it’s rough.
Sorry, man. Not sure is the best record (amazing and beautiful as it is) to listen to in these circumstances. Have another six pack and put Exile on Main St or something like that. Best wishes.
Sorry for your loss 🖤
I can't believe the album starts with this
this one actually hurts
The ending of this song has made me cry every single time I have listened to it.
How does it do it every time.
basically just did a "try not to cry" challenge by watching this at work...mission failed
I like the album version but the acoustic guitar here adds so much to this song.
1000%
Hard agree!
Yes sir
I’m 28 and feel a little lost. This song was a gift to me as I sat on my back deck listening to it, watching the moon slowly disappear behind the tall maple tree in my backyard
Do you remember running?
The purity of the air around
Braiding willow branches into a crown
That love is all I want
I'm a child humming
Into the clarity of black space
Where stars shine like tears on the night's face
With a cool wind
Mama, what happened?
I never thought we'd go this long
Now 31 and I don't feel strong
And your love is all I want
When I was seven
I saw the first film that made me scared
And I thought of this whole world ending
I thought of dying unprepared
We moved into a real house
A wild field behind it
I wanted to be an inventor, collected scraps to make a portal
I wanted so much for magic to be real
So many dreams of flying
Rising high over the crowd
And they'd go, "Oh man, look at her go"
And I'd go, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Do you remember coming to the hospital when I was 14?
My friends all left me there spinning, Dad was angry
But you saw everything
And you made me laugh as the nurses undressed me
You held my hand as they put the needle in me
I never saw you cry, not until our dog died
And the whole family came back together
We held her body as they put the needle in her
And then I saw you cry
And then I saw you cry

Thanks for showing us the real house A.L !
The most captivating one from the album.
Beautiful song and performance. Songwriting and delivery very reminiscent of Mount Eerie, thinking of Real Death here especially. Absolutely beautiful
real meandering hours
Holy fuck yeah that's what it reminds me of, that specific song
I was just typing almost the same comment…
Petition for Adrianne to re-release this song with the guitar added in because it adds so much more to the song omg
i literally cannot continue through this song without shedding a tear, I've done it so many times on commute it's actually concerning 😭😭😭😭
:( I wish we could all receive the love we deserve, but it seems Adrianne has created that kind of love around her
Saw Adrianne the other night, she performed this song solo with just guitar. I have goosebumps thinking about it. This is genuinely the most hauntingly beautiful song I have ever heard in my life. A song you will remember where you were and what you were doing the first time you heard it.
omg this broke me, Adrienne you're so so talented. Thank you for writing beautiful poetry
got me sobbing and throwing hands with the air listening to this
Me too ves nguyen 🙁
this should have billions of views
Man Nick Hakim has the magic touch on that piano, really beautiful sounding piano too
reminds me a bit of Sun Kil Moon this song
was wondering if i was the only one who thought this! that guitar playing..
I have been saying this!! She's so amazing and the way she can tell a story with lyrics is reminiscent of Mark!! Also, the guitar melody feels very familiar to early SKM.
for me this song is so melancolic in the best way possible, i cried remembering all my core memories from childhood.
this is one of the purest examples I know of putting an authentic voice combined with honest lyrics over a fairly rudimentary chord pattern and creating beauty.
Purely unreal, she sounds classic in everything she does.
Her singing always sounds so pure.
cut from the heart
Cryin in the club rn
This song is so good and so devastating and it's the FIRST TRACK ON THE RECORD
On dear! On the album this song is so distinct and leaves so much space for the lyrics. But the addition of the guitar here turns it into such a toe tapper and adds such a hook
Such a great live performer
GODDESS.😘😘😘😊
Very Sun Kil Moon inspired. I absolutely love it
Is there a specific song or just the artist?
@@saecseeGenerally a lot of the early Sun Kil Moon stuff sounds like that
Amazing
beautiful
heart wrenching
Wow
my whole family came back together when our god died too.
i’m gonna leave that typo because it’s still the truth.
@@kyrahirsch4367the typo feels extra appropriate considering she sings “god dog devil lived” in the song Evol
@@loganslone9436 synergy
stunning
Beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love this song and what it conveys is so beautiful.
sobbing
it's my 3rd time watching, also the 3rd time crying
edit: saw her live a couple of weeks ago and cried to her live performance, again.
4th*
Mount Eerie/Sun Kil Moon vibes on this one, destroyed me.
Need someone to tab this omg
you can find the tabs of this song on ultimate guitar !
Sublime ❤
What lyrics wonderful 🎉🎉
Thanks
this is so sick and twisted

every song by adrianne is beautifully sad
Love this song and album alot, this track reminds me heaps of a specific Mount Eerie song... can anybody remind me which one??
someone else said Real Death
oh man
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
LOVE YOU ADRIENNE LENKER
Does anyone have a tab for this?
this song destroys me. Every. Time.
¿Recuerdas correr?
La pureza del aire alrededor
Trenzando ramas de sauce en una corona
Ese amor es todo lo que quiero
Soy un niño tarareando
en la claridad del espacio negro
donde las estrellas brillan como lágrimas en el rostro de la noche
con un viento fresco.
Mamá, ¿qué pasó?
Nunca pensé que duraríamos tanto.
Ahora tengo 31 años y no me siento fuerte.
Y tu amor es todo lo que quiero.
Cuando tenía siete años
vi la primera película que me asustó
y pensé en el fin de este mundo,
pensé en morir sin preparación.
Nos mudamos a una casa real.
Un campo salvaje detrás.
Quería ser inventor, recogí restos para hacer un portal.
Quería tanto que la magia fuera real.
Tantos sueños de volar
Elevándose alto sobre la multitud
Y ellos decían, "Oh hombre, mírala irse"
Y yo decía, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
¿Recuerdas haber venido al hospital cuando tenía 14 años?
Mis amigos me dejaron ahí dando vueltas, papá estaba enojado
Pero tú viste todo
Y me hiciste reír mientras las enfermeras me desnudaban
Tomaste mi mano mientras me metían la aguja
Nunca te vi llorar, no hasta que nuestro perro murió
Y toda la familia volvió a estar junta
Sostuvimos su cuerpo mientras le clavaban la aguja
Y luego te vi llorar
Y luego te vi llorar
Apenas vieron que puse esas canciones, también sintieron el volt
Also- this has a very “Benji” feel. Just the simplicity reminds me of Mark Kozelks ruminations
i think im going to die
That fucked me right up 🥲
someone got snapped mid performance lol
Devastating song
yo adrianne what the f--ck
When I see Adrianne Lenker on Instagram I find her boring . Very boring . I'm not interested in what she says .
But everytime I listen to Adrianne singing I love it.
Especially this song .
Thank you Adrianne !
Wow
