Whenever depressed and reminded there's a whole world of art and music I haven't experienced yet, it sure does wonders. We sure do live in a time of privilege when it comes to accessing previously unknown music. I appreciate that :)
I listened to this song on repeat when driving to sit with my sister in her hospice room for her final days. This song has held me together in the weeks since.
She captures Sinead frenetic desparation but in a more organized controlled way. The outtro guitars are on a level ive never heard... Like a Cobain solo with Jimi/Miles Davis crazy(in the best way) vibe. Tom Morello would even smile
I hear you niccolo. I used to cry now it makes me wanna play punch the predators... toxic masculinity or pushing back at a predatory universe bcuz I'm sick of laying down like a martyr-masochist? 🤷 what's your opinion?
In the summer of 2019, I was on a trail crew in Colorado. We were away from everything. A woman on my crew played this song on guitar frequently and beautifully. For a long time, her rendition was the only one I knew. That was probably the best summer of my life. Months later, after returning to college, I heard this recording play in a movie theater downtown and teared up. Amazing song, very special for many reasons.
I had a similar experience with this song! I was in Denver Colorado I had a small café really late at night and a girl and a guy were singing, they sang the song. I thought it was theirs until I heard it later on XMU. It is such a special song!
Heard them on Sirius tonight...been listening to them for the past 5 hours.. new favorite band.. I thank the universe for new music and all the moving parts that create it.. love
This song reminds me so much of all my memories with my older sister, and how much i just desperately miss her. She raised me and gave me so many of my experiences. Being so far away from her just breaks me more everyday
They absolutely killed it. This song is amazing. Discordant guitar and haunting vocals. Can't think of another song in 2019 that I've heard that was so moving. Great work!
You might like Phoebe Bridgers. She has a similar sound to Big Thief, Johnny Goth, Elliott Smith, and she used to jam with Bright Eyes. If you like any of them you might check her out.
I almost can't listen to this song it's so incredibly beautiful. I have cried and cried everytime I have heard it. Which is only three times I want to listen more but I need to be in a special environment to be able to handle it. Adrianne's voice might just be the most heartbreaking sound I have ever heard !!
I can’t remember any other band in my 36years of hardcore music fandom which made me feel like I was so lucky to be alive and receptive to this music while it’s being made in real time. We are so fortunate to have this band
Poetry that makes your soul smile , smart without the snobbery of intellectualism , Just enough grit to reflect the suffering of the art , flows with the blood of a sharp indi outfit. Pure awesome in its crisp packaging that shows it was a collaboration made from love , love of the art and each other. This is what I get from hearing the new sign of they're season. Ive loved these guys from they're start and I wish them all the best with the new work.
Big Thief has become one of my absolute favourite bands. I am so thankful I was able to catch them open for Wilco in Portland, ME a few years ago. I hope to see them again.
This is one of the best modern songs I've ever heard. I might put my Cosby, Stills, Nash and Young albums down for a minute and check the whole CD out. Awesome stuff.
This song blew me away on SiriusXM, almost drove off the damn road. I'm pushing 60 years old and definitely was reminded of Neil Young, maybe Johnny Cash a little. There is so much intensity to this song. Time to buy their music!
I just discovered this tune on a french radio : immediate crush ! Very found of the alternative rock of the 90's (Sonic Youth, Lush, Bloody Valentine...) such a band is made for my ears.
This is one of my all time favourite songs and it always will be, it only gets better with age. Such an absolute masterpiece composition and performance, everything, about it, its a perfect song...whatever that means...it just is xx
In a way, I see this song as a fantastic response to a common question among poets and other writers -- "Why write?" -- and attempting to do so via an elaborate process of elimination (the string of negatives) -- hoping to come to a fundamental, solitary truth... I feel it's a stellar song on conjuring aesthetics, maybe in the vein of Yeats' "The Circus Animals Desertion"...
On may 9th 2020 my grandmother died. I never really got to know her well since she had dementia and possibly schizophrenia. I think she was 78. She didn't really want anything to do with me since she didn't want to be seen as old. My dad told that she used to worry a lot, about everything in her life and she felt as if she had wasted everything by worrying. She had kicked my mother and father out her house when my mother was pregnant with me. I do wish i had more time to know her. When she died i tried to act sad but i didn't really know her well.
timing is funny and painful and doesn’t always work out the way we wish it did. in 50 years, you can decide the type of grandparent you want to be to a grandchild just like you. i’m sure you will see her again.
@seamonkeyluver I don't believe in god because he is dead, what is dead is to cease existence, to die means one that is dead does not exist nor is needed here anymore. I won't have children because my body is a temple for me, myself and I.
I saw an edit with this song and as a paleontology and zoology nerd I broke down as soon as the lyrics said "not to die" because they put thylacine there 💔
I've listened to this at least 10 times now, and I'm still too overwhelmed by the music to even begin analyzing the lyrics. I don't even know what to say. I don't even know what to call the emotion I experience when I listen to this.
Everyone here came from an edit but I came from a music recommendation a stranger gave to me. I love big thief and discovering this song is so special to me ❤
I've had a sister my whole life but i didn't know, we see each other more and more through out the time and this song just reminds me of her for some reason.
Big Thief at the Cedar Cultural Center in Minneapolis ca. 2018 was maybe the best show I ever saw. As an old-fogey, believe me that's saying something...
Not what you really wanted Nor the mess in your purse Nor the bed that is haunted With a blanket of thirst It's not the hunger revealing Nor the ricochet in the cave Nor the hand that is healing Nor the nameless grave

That’s so real:)
i cant stop listening to this song its like bleeding out and having a seizure
see you get it
litteraly!!! coming from someone that's never bleed out nor had a seizure
You get me.
*accurate description
Exactly.
You ever hear a song so perfect it makes you want to cry?
exactly!!
I did🥲
When I saw it live I cried all my make up off. I felt like I was alone in a theatre of thousands but also connected to the entire world.
When her voice breaks! This is one of the most underrated songs ever.
viktor edit had me in a chokehold
Exactly why im here rn i 🫶 viktor
Girl me too. I love viktor so much
that makes three of us
PLEASE SHOW ME ?!?!?!?

I am so utterly obsessed with this song
I have been obsessed with this song for 4 years. Saw them live in Aug 2023. Wept the entire time
The way her voice grows more desperate, intense, crying out almost... this song makes me wanna cry
Yup cry for everything that’s not…..
This ban just came into my life. I've been listening to every version of this song I can find and I tear up every time.
I saw them last night and this song was traumatic. I could not stop crying
Wish I knew what it is about his song that is so evocative and emotional for so many....taps into something inside that's obviously very raw
I hear you niccolo. I used to cry now it makes me wanna play punch the predators...

i promise it does. think of everything you've dealt with before - you got through, you're still here. stay a while friend.
It will. Just give it time
Of course it does
I never thought I would say this but it actually does. It may come back ALOT but it gets better :)

This is one of those songs that your soul understands
"It's not the hunger revealing, nor the ricochet in the cave"
Love that part. Her voice just leaks the anger and frustration.

its all over my screen!! (my tears)
Heard them on Sirius tonight...been listening to them for the past 5 hours.. new favorite band.. I thank the universe for new music and all the moving parts that create it.. love
2:10 is best portion of the song
I 100% agree
Exactly
This song is a great relief for me. I’ve been looking for a band this interesting for a while now and I’m so glad I found Big Thief.
This song reminds me so much of all my memories with my older sister, and how much i just desperately miss her. She raised me and gave me so many of my experiences. Being so far away from her just breaks me more everyday
Holy f***! That solo. This song is unbelievable.
It Is Need bar in Word?
@@SaskiaAvalle huh?
This song is so devastatingly beautiful and heartbreaking, but i feel like i can breathe while im listening to it
This song made me shed a tear, both in joy and sadness. I don't know why, but I like it. This is art.
This song is what the pain in arcane feels like
wth
This is one of those songs that makes me cry every time I hear it. It’s kinda funny drying your eyes mid morning! It’s a good thing. 🖤✨
This song is all about that void in each of us that we try to fill with anything to feel whole
They absolutely killed it. This song is amazing. Discordant guitar and haunting vocals. Can't think of another song in 2019 that I've heard that was so moving. Great work!
Porn
Holy shit! This feels like when I found out about Bright Eyes. I'm a little late to the party, but I think I'll stay a while. Thank you Big Thief.
You might like Phoebe Bridgers. She has a similar sound to Big Thief, Johnny Goth, Elliott Smith, and she used to jam with Bright Eyes. If you like any of them you might check her out.
They have a Bright Eyes Vibe. Love both bands.
Saddle Creek taste. Great music.
Bright Eyes, ugh.

I love that other people are like me
I need everyone on earth to hear this
I don't listen to music radio all that often, but I am glad I did today because this came on and I think they are my new favorite band.
2 albums within 6 months. Another masterpiece for sure. Straight in my top3 bands forever now. You guys have really something unique. We love you.
I can’t remember any other band in my 36years of hardcore music fandom which made me feel like I was so lucky to be alive and receptive to this music while it’s being made in real time. We are so fortunate to have this band
Ok I felt this way about tool when I was 12, but don’t tell anyone
I absolutely love when that happens. Just sheer fortune to coexist at a time and space to listen to a specific song.
Man, you summed it up beautifully!
Poetry that makes your soul smile , smart without the snobbery of intellectualism ,
Just enough grit to reflect the suffering of the art , flows with the blood of a sharp indi outfit.

Yeah because if anyone knows about lack of snobbery, it’s DEFINITELY you
Listening to this song isnt enough i need this imbedded into my mind forever 😭😭
I've cried twice while listening to this song in the past week.
Big Thief has become one of my absolute favourite bands. I am so thankful I was able to catch them open for Wilco in Portland, ME a few years ago. I hope to see them again.
I went to this show as well and skipped the opener because I had never heard of them...what a mistake... amazing band...
Words can’t describe how this song makes me feel
Wow! Grammy Nominee. Congratulations!!!
Damn, when she growls I get chills everytime.
When she really emotes you can feel the shred trauma.
Absolutely!
Me too. In my soul. This resonates. Deeply.
Love it also. Also check out Carla Bozulich/Evangelista for some more killer vocals.
Well then you will also love Lady Lambs first album, Ripely Pine
This song is really insane
ive been listening to this song on repeat for days im your biggest fan omg ^^
Yeah....I'm gonna go ahead and listen to that on repeat for the rest of the day.
Five times on my way home tonight
Incessantly playing this through the shitstorm that is spring 2020.
Lol this and cat tails
@@emkrushd7 hyd now cuh
@@maiktxx4537 I would say everything is just as bad now 😓
What a spectacular feeling listening to this gives. On the road we blast this nearly twice a trip
This is one of the best modern songs I've ever heard. I might put my Cosby, Stills, Nash and Young albums down for a minute and check the whole CD out. Awesome stuff.

@@ElCid-sf8mt same. A complete Neil young vibe
this might be my best comfort song chat.
One of the best vocalists I've heard in years.
god damn how does she do it. Adrianne is truly an incredible songwriter and she and her music will be remembered forever
This song…This band…All the feels.
Fourth album and they still sound so fresh and raw. I love this band.
This guitar solo is great. I love it
4AD has been the best label for decades.
I just discovered this tune on a french radio : immediate crush ! Very found of the alternative rock of the 90's (Sonic Youth, Lush, Bloody Valentine...) such a band is made for my ears.
This song. _This song._ It makes me feel so relieved, and so depressed.
Oh my gosh, yes, they are making up for all of the other bands who take like 3-4 years in between albums. Thank you so much, you guys are amazing.
Melodic, warm, love imagined with a rising dose of happiness and joy!
They’re single handedly restoring my faith in modern music, stay cool people!
This song touches my soul.
one of my favourite tracks of the year. and whole album is amazing.
This song is the best thing to ever happen in my life
This is one of the best songs ive heard in my entire life
What are the others?
yes baby
Lol what?
Yes
Same, like same
I applaud heavily👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟❤🔥🔥🤯🤯🤯
Thank You Big Thief for standing up for justice. Love and Peace!
they've quickly become one of the most important acts in modern music to me personally. also THAT SOLO
That solo just tore me to shreds and reassembled my body. I emerge reborn. That's the sign of a good solo.
I was a little disappointed with UFOF :/
Adrianne's vocals on this songs are so fucking raw. it's incredible.
Live this solo is ... no word for that !
The sonic range and raw emotion of the solo remind me of both Neil Young and Dean Wareham. Perfect ending for such a great song.
Been revisiting this song again and found more that I love. I'm not stop listening to them now
Wow i heard this song on xm today. I absolutely love it. Especially at 2:25. When is slowed down. And she's like mad singing. Love it
This is one of my all time favourite songs and it always will be, it only gets better with age. Such an absolute masterpiece composition and performance, everything, about it, its a perfect song...whatever that means...it just is xx
Ok this song is really speaking to me ... Listening to it at LAX parking lot before I work to Kona thanks for a great song ❤
They're about to release another "best of 2019" album, and this is the PERFECT song to announce it. Thank you, Big Thief!
In a way, I see this song as a fantastic response to a common question among poets and other writers -- "Why write?" -- and attempting to do so via an elaborate process of elimination (the string of negatives) -- hoping to come to a fundamental, solitary truth... I feel it's a stellar song on conjuring aesthetics, maybe in the vein of Yeats' "The Circus Animals Desertion"...
big thief fans! which other of their songs sounds like this one, is deep/soul-clenching like this one. i need MORE
One of the best band these days, and an astonishing songwriter!
Can't believe we're getting another album so soon. U.F.O.F. is still so fresh and such an accomplished record. Delighted!
I love how the vocals get more and more desperate until they stop completely, and then the music continues, but still gets gradually more chaotic
Surprise ! Big Thief will release their new album 'Two Hands' on October 11th
My birthday
It takes "two hands" to handle a Whopper™️🤪
thank you
also, pure love
OOF! Will they play any of the songs on the concert in Brooklyn?
0:46 that drum riff is awesome

This song made me cry so hard when they played this live when it wasnt released yet, so powerfull!
Saw them last night and it was the most traumatic experience of my life when they played this
I've listened to this at least 10 times now, and I'm still too overwhelmed by the music to even begin analyzing the lyrics. I don't even know what to say. I don't even know what to call the emotion I experience when I listen to this.
we'll never know what it is and i will forever love them for that.
its it.
I read the list and still checking out your year. Great selection so far
i'm in love with this band so BAD

2019 is Big Thief's year and they deserve EVERY SECOND OF IT 🖤🖤🖤
Perfection in a song! I can listen in awe for hours.
I don't think I've ever listened to this song without crying. Such a beautiful and emotional track.
Relax, homes.

I listened to this masterpiece before, but Josh reminded me to come back :-)
Me too

I'm addicted. It was so good to discover this band ❤️

I love everyone in this comment section. You guys get it
Big Thief at the Cedar Cultural Center in Minneapolis ca. 2018 was maybe the best show I ever saw. As an old-fogey, believe me that's saying something...
Not what you really wanted
Nor the mess in your purse
Nor the bed that is haunted
With a blanket of thirst
It's not the hunger revealing
Nor the ricochet in the cave
Nor the hand that is healing
Nor the nameless grave
I LOVE THEM SO MUCH... im so pumped to finally see them!!!
Had a wonderfuly tense relationship at the time I discovered that song. It really illustrates the angst and yet craving between doomed lovers. Poetic as it can be
This song is so beautiful and underrated i love it ❤
I fucking love this band so much. So happy I found out about them last night. I needed them in my life.
This feels like she’s singing about how it’s no ones fault but your own
Beautifully raw... dont you just love discovering real music!!
O
Bravo! Fabulous work!!!!!
