Her father is a country musician, and you can tell that that's the kind of tradition she learned to play guitar in-hence the simple chord progressions and fingerpicking.
I want flatlands I never cared about money and all its friends I want flatlands I want flatlands I don't want precious stones I never cared about anything you've ever owned I want flatlands I want simplicity I need your arms wrapped hard around me I want open plains and scattered trees I want flower fields I want salty seas I want flatlands soft and steady breeze Bringing scents of lined-up orchard trees Dripping heavy with pears and dancing leaves I want flatlands Will you go there with me When it's said in the dark and you know it's always there When it's dead in our heart but your mind is unafraid When it's said in the dark and you know it's never coming back When it's there in your heart in your mind you set it free
this is a lovely, lovely song. the lyrics put it over the top. the criticisms on the minimal chord usage.. go ahead, show us what you've written that ties music and vocals together so starkly and effectively.
I struggle with mental illness and wishing for that perfect life, you know, the one that humans chase for the rest of their lives, the ones that money can't buy...but I'm grateful as fuck, to the universe, maybe to God, if, that I lived in a time where this beautiful ethereal creature graced all my senses with her presence. What an exceptional artist. And artist in every sense of the word. I love you, Chelsea! you're the shit girl.
For those who want to learn this- she is in standard D tuning- and just watch her fingers. You should be able to figure it out! Ultimate guitar also has the tabs if you get stuck 😊
I want flatlands I dont give a fuck about money and all its friends I want flatlands I want flatlands I don't want precious stones I dont give a fuck about anything you've ever owned I want flatlands I want simplicity I need your arms wrapped hard around me I want open plains and scattered trees I want flower fields I want salty seas I want flatlands soft and steady breeze bringing scents of lined-up orchard trees dripping heavy with pears and dancing leaves I want flatlands will you go there with me When it's said in the dark and you know it's always there when it's dead in our heart and your mind is unafraid when it's said in the dark and you know it's never coming back when it's there in your heart in your mind you set it free
I love this video and the half sleeper vid - both solo acoustic versions and she's not made up - she's just bare and regular clothes and soooo beautiful. I would pay a lot of $$$ to see her if she ever came to Tampa, FLA (or anywhere in Georgia or Fla).
If I didn't know who is singing and just heard it on the radio I'd think it must be a new PJ Harvey song... is it only me? I just started listening to her albums today, starting from the new one (thanks to Pitchfork, which gave Pain Is Beauty a high 8.0). I fell in love with her voice and diversity, but in this is song the inspiration seems pretty clear.
Guys, you should watch this version watch?v=mgWb1d001FI Its the same song performed by Chelsea but with strings, it makes the song even more beautiful.
+Ladygaga121fan They're made for fingerpicking - easier to play, louder fuller sound than a steelstring, which is really designed for strumming and flatpicking. I'm always surprised more fingerpickers outside of classical and flamenco don't use them.
This is my favorite song of all time. I will die to this song.
This is possibly her most beautiful song. Literally brings tears to my eyes sometimes. Some music is best when it's kept simple.
"sometimes"???

Who is her father?
I want flatlands
I never cared about money and all its friends
I want flatlands
I want flatlands
I don't want precious stones
I never cared about anything you've ever owned
I want flatlands
I want simplicity
I need your arms wrapped hard around me
I want open plains and scattered trees
I want flower fields
I want salty seas
I want flatlands soft and steady breeze
Bringing scents of lined-up orchard trees
Dripping heavy with pears and dancing leaves
I want flatlands
Will you go there with me
When it's said in the dark and you know it's always there
When it's dead in our heart but your mind is unafraid
When it's said in the dark and you know it's never coming back
When it's there in your heart in your mind you set it free
This explicit version should exist on an album. We deserve it.
Can't believe how many times I've fallen in love watching this video.
This simple performance still touches my heart after numerous viewings.
Tanks with you Mark the wolfe. The best hits with Lanegan
She sounds like a siren in a dream.
i shed a tear to this comment. Spot on.
And shes so adorable!
This is exact ---
Agreed
This song always makes me cry,,, this is the most raw and emotional version, beautiful
this is a lovely, lovely song. the lyrics put it over the top.
the criticisms on the minimal chord usage.. go ahead, show us what you've written that ties music and vocals together so starkly and effectively.
The song is also about how she just wants the comfort of simplicity so it's quite fitting.
Complexity for the sake of complexity itself is boring. This is perfect.
To make a simple song good is harder compared to making it more complex
Man.. this song makes me tear up a little.
A jaw-droppingly beautiful song.
One of the best C to Aminor ever. So so good

it’s so fun to play, once you get the fingerpicking right it’s pretty easy. also a great way to callus up your middle finger lol
Playing and singing this at the same time is so difficult
This is one of my fav songs of all time...it speaks to me so deeply.
Thanks for watching. Chelsea is amazing!
I come here to cry happy tears. From one 🖤 to another
Dream, she is
sounds EXACTLY like the album just without the reverb on her voice. Such a talented artist
Oh my God, she is so special, so amazing. I'm in love and speechless, it's perfect.
the finger picking,the guitar tone,The Voice=Perfection🖤
Just found out about her. What a beautiful musician and song. Just purchased her 3 albums. Looking forward to more :)
And then finally i listened to the Chelsea song that dismantled me.
💔
Awsome
Beautiful ❤
She's magic... love what she does...
Una letra tan simple y significativa a la vez, como lo natural... Poderoso... Gracias mujer sensible 🖤
🥺💗
Beautiful Ovation and Voice!!
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your heart with us Chelsea
Love how she replaces "I don't care with" "I don't give a fuck."
I don't. I think it makes the song sound uncharacteristically aggressive imo.
Beautiful!
Queen
such a simple song, yet it evokes such emotions
I want flatlands
I dont give a fuck about money and all its friends
I want flatlands
I want flatlands
I don't want precious stones
I dont give a fuck about anything you've ever owned
I want flatlands
I want simplicity
I need your arms wrapped hard around me
I want open plains and scattered trees
I want flower fields
I want salty seas
I want flatlands soft and steady breeze
bringing scents of lined-up orchard trees

I want flatlands
will you go there with me
When it's said in the dark and you know it's always there
when it's dead in our heart and your mind is unafraid
when it's said in the dark and you know it's never coming back
when it's there in your heart in your mind you set it free
Big fan of Chelsea Wolfe. Hope she comes through Toronto soon
This is perfect.
Breathtaking!!!
god, she's perfect...
Gorgeous song. Gorgeous woman.
amazing
So beautiful
One of the best
AMAZING
This is a dream.
Here because of Mark
I love her
Omg ❤👌
You are excellent.
she blows my mind. fuck she is goood.
You toured with Russian Circles? Wow! I discovered those guys when they opened for Mastodon. Amazing band! Oh and Chino from Deftones sent me.
Looks like we listen to the same bands, lol
This is fire
Anyone know what tuning she's playing in?
Thanks, Chino
This is great after listening to way too much HIGH ON FIRE
Gaaawd!!Goosiez..Allover, Everytime
Hope you saw her in August at Lee's Palace!
You sound beautiful. You give singer/songwriters with passion and talent- hope that the degradation of music hasn't touched everyone.
I love this video and the half sleeper vid - both solo acoustic versions and she's not made up - she's just bare and regular clothes and soooo beautiful. I would pay a lot of $$$ to see her if she ever came to Tampa, FLA (or anywhere in Georgia or Fla).
I want rolling hills and meadows Flat-Lander! Chelsea Wolfe rules!
I love how Burzum is in the related videos section.
Wolfe is fantastic.
They're not in mine. Probably has to do with TH-cam's algorithm recommending that for you.
yes, her cover of black spell of destruction is all kinds of awesome.
"I need your arms wrapped hard around me." Wouldn't that be nice...
❤
Roadburn 2013 please!
me voy con ella a cualquier lado
i'll go with her anywhere
Chelsea stop da lights man gorgeous
Her beat kinda sounds like Kansas - Dust in the wind to me lmao, anywho I love her
🥰

didn’t Mark Lanigan write this?
Mark Lanegan covered it!
WE ARE NOT WORTHY WE ARE NOT WORTHY
lol, she put so much attitude into this song now! I was like "She looks angry" and then "I don't remember her saying fuck in this song."
Standard tuning it appears to me, C major to A minor.
Divine. How was someone so young given such gifts?
Fucking. Amazingly. Beautiful.
Seriously!
Chelsea Wolfe Flatlands and Lanegan´s cover, together:

Guys, you should watch this version watch?v=mgWb1d001FI
Its the same song performed by Chelsea but with strings, it makes the song even more beautiful.
I'll go there with you.
I would love to see the deftones cover this. Can we somehow make this happen, start a campaign or something?
Damn, another one of my favorite bands. I'll sign that petition!
Why lol
Mark Lenagan did a great job
The cursing makes it sound frustrated as opposed to longing
I will go there with you.
flevopolder?!
Interesting how she is playing on a classical guitar
+Ladygaga121fan They're made for fingerpicking - easier to play, louder fuller sound than a steelstring, which is really designed for strumming and flatpicking. I'm always surprised more fingerpickers outside of classical and flamenco don't use them.
Her music reminds me somewhat of Land Of Talk and somewhat of Lykke Li...
As you wish Chelsea I am all yours. Your soul pulse like a Quasar and I am in awe
I thought she said I want a lap dance
I want flat legs
Crap. I missed her. Oh well, time to wait another two years i guess....
🤍🖤
Thumbs up if you're here for Chino!
agreed
but practice is important
especialy as a professional performer!
I don't give no fuck about anything you've ever owned.
Oh yeah you're right, that's what I must have been thinking, haha. Could have just as easily made the connection to Madonna or Joan of Ark...
yummy yummy in my tummy
I would have to say more of a female Jeff Buckley
i want simplicity
