the fact that I found this song 2 whole years after its release is the reason why you never say "music is dying." there's always beautiful stuff out there waiting to be found.
@@neftcakes hey thank you so much. I woke up to this comment. I really appreciate it. My actual music youtube is @nessnost if you feel like hearing more music
When I was little, we had to drag our decomposing cow, Oreo, out from under the shed and out into an open field where the vultures could peck her body. She died from being underfed. It really disturbed me when I was younger. I think about it often. Thank you, Adrienne.
“The horse lies naked in the shed, the flies draw sugar from his head” I know that’s not the full lyric but I can’t make out the rest and that just felt so perfect for this comment. I can’t imagine having a memory like that, so disturbing and surreal. I hope your not too disturbed.
Adrianne lenkers music can either be interpreted as a cloudy but warm day in the summer just before a rainstorm, or a sunny day laying in a field of grass and feeling the warmth on your skin
@_.paranoid hello! Ingydar was the name of the singer's great aunt's horse. I'm not entirely sure if the name has a meaning but that's all i know about Ingydar :]
this song has inspired my writing so much, i legit created an ingydar tag on AO3. The lyrics in this song are so beautiful, all prose should aspire to this level.
I really loved 'Songs & Instrumentals' when it came out but generally skipped over this song until 2 weeks ago, when stray dogs killed our neighborhood cat Budzgi who was semi-feral but lived at our porch for 3 years and was affectionate towards us. Seeing his mauled body was quite traumatizing, as well as arranging burial for a creature that was alive and well hours ago but I kept composure. For some reason, the next day I put on the album and when this song came up, I listened to the lyrics and completely broke down into tears - which is part of the healing, I guess. This is a perfect album from start to finish - poetic, mystical and melancholic
I don't know why, but this song makes me think of going to the mountains as a kid. I used to walk up the dirt road to the barn to see the cow and the chickens that belonged to the people who rented the barn from my grandma. I learned to milk a cow then. I'll never go there again. I miss it.
Fragilely, gradually and surrounding The horse lies naked in the shed Evergreen anodyne decompounding Flies draw sugar from his head His eyes are blueberries, video screens Minneapolis schemes and the dried flowers From books half-read The juice of dark cherries cover his chin The dog walks in and the crow lies in his jaw like lead Everything eats and is eaten, time is fed Early еvening, the pink ring swallows The sphеrical marigold terrain Sleepily, Venus sinks and hollows The stationed headlight of a plane You are as far from me as memory With fixtures fracture varyingly The juice of dark cherries cover my skin Six years in, no baby Everything eats and is eaten Ingydar bares a scar like a meteor Crystalline amber guilds her cheek Tambourine of the beech leaves lead her To the raven playing hide and seek Drying blueberries, figurines and the angel leans At the head of the bed The juice of dark cherries cover my chin The dog walks in and the crow lies in his smile like lead Everything eats and is eaten, time is fed Everything eats and is eaten Everything eats and is eaten Everything eats and is eaten Everything eats and is eaten Everything eats and is eaten
I remember listening to this song constantly last fall. My agoraphobia was really bad then, and I listened to this when I was anxious to calm me down. Thank you. You cannot fathom how much comfort this song has brought me as well as many other people.
"his eyes are blueberries, video screens, minneapolis schemes and the dried flowers from books half-read the juice of dark cherries cover his chin the dog walks in and the crow lies in his jaw like lead"
The line "everything eats, and is esten" oddly enough makes me think of a line from a completely different song. "Hungry makes us human", it doesn't make much sense, but it makes me think of it and it has a meaning I can't quite grasp yet. Also, if you've ever watched the Silent Voice, this song reminds me of Shoko's sister. The way she would take pictures of carcasses or dead insects to drive her sister away from death, it reminds me of this. Again that's only through vague association, but still. This song is beautiful :)
last year or maybe the year before, i had a pet mouse named athena, but we liked to call her tina. tina was the best girl, she loved to be held and pet and she loved strawberries. i don't know what happened but one day she got sick, she got an awful rash on her back that she couldn't stop scratching, i felt so awful whenever i looked at her. days after it appeared, we found her lying down, barely able to breathe. she tried so hard to stay, she fought so hard, until i held her. as i held her, her breathing slowed till it stopped. she died in my hands. she felt safe enough to die in my hands. i think about her every single day, and i cry, till there's no more tears i can cry. you were the best girl athena and i'm grateful to have been your person
i cried reading that it literally stole my breath away thats so beautiful and yet so freaking heart-wrenching all at the same time im breathless. it fits so well bc this song is named after her horse but its mainly ab the cycle of life. rip athena u were such a beautiful little girl 💔
This song reminds me of my kitty Elis who passed away just a few months ago. She was hit by a motorcycle. Every time I imagine her I feel like crying. The way my mother described her laying there on the middle of the street... It must have been so painful. I'm so sorry my baby, I still wish I could have held you for one last time
The lyrics are sung just as beautifully as they’re written, it’s truly a peacefully, sadly and uniquely beautiful song, with the guitar to top it all of, it gives a feeling nothing else could describe.
Can't believe melon head listed my fave song as the least favorite, JAAIIILLLL!!!

This is so beautiful ❤ your music bleeds into my heart so gently, it’s so painful yet comforting As an aspiring poet, you inspire me so much Thank you for everything!
My favorite track from this album keeps changing with each listen, but I keep coming back to this one. Does anyone know what 'Minneapolis schemes' means?
A 'housing scheme' would be an area developed with homes by a company, so I understand it as his (and her) eyes reflecting the years of life spent wandering the streets and lanes of whatever was once home. That's just my take though.
My other kitty, Nara, died today. I'm in tears right now and it's so stupid. The last time I saw her it was dawn and I had to get her out of my bedroom. I feel like such an idiot for not having let her in. I'm sorry, Nara, I hope God is taking care of you in Heaven now. I love you so much
Thanks for sharing such valuable information! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
'Ingydar was the name of my great-aunt Becky’s horse, who passed away when I was a kid. But the song itself, I have to say, it isn’t really about that horse. That was just a fragment from the pool of ideas, or colors that I wove into the song, but yeah. “Everything eats and is eaten / Time is fed.” Have you ever used a vacuum cleaner, and there’s a button that sucks the cord back in?'
“Everything eats and is eaten, time is fed” absolutely breathtaking. Words are the closest thing to real magic.
@Lime Green Turban Gang you absolute genius you
@Lime Green Turban Gang that is what I was gonna say, words are magjc.
Naming is the origin of all things
yeeeesssss
hi!
This whole album is like a strange loopy beautiful dream in the woods
Perfect way to put it. It’s quite haunting too. You can also hear a nice wood cabin room ambiance.
I agree completely ♡
the fact that I found this song 2 whole years after its release is the reason why you never say "music is dying." there's always beautiful stuff out there waiting to be found.
such truth. When I release things it feels like they die, but really its only the beginning of their life

wow. an incredible story for this song
Oreo lived on through the soil beneath her and the vultures above her
A happening like that to Oreo evokes so many thoughts that is especially plaguing to a young mind. Bless you.

"Ingydar bares a scar like a meteor, crystalline amber guilds her cheek."
Daringly beautiful
Hi, may i ask, what does "ingydar" means? Im not an actual native English speaker so i have that clue.

prose?
gosh Adrianne Lenker inspired me to WRITE prose.
I’ve based a few fanfics around her songs too, lol :)
the most vivid imagery i’ve ever gotten from a song. insanity
You should listen to neutral milk hotel
WHAT A COMMENT!!!!!!
"Evergreen anodyne decompounding, flies draw sugar from his head" is one of the smartest, most beautiful lyric I've head in a LONG time geez
this song sounds like a lonely summer afternoon
Sounds like rainy winter day.
i'm in love with both
I actually thought it sounded more like a foggy autumn morning
@@akdnskanauhsudha424 100% this
I found this song on a lonely summer afternoon
That's the most sadly gorgeous thing I've heard in a very long time. It has an ageless feel to it that I simply adore.

This is pure poetry , wow , so sophisticated
This song breaks me and rebuilds me every time I listen to it. Masterpiece!
Beautifully said
My favorite line is "sleepily, Venus sinks and hollows the stationed headlight of a plane" its just the perfect sentence to go along with the rhythm
Fragilely, gradually and surrounding
The horse lies naked in the shed
Evergreen anodyne decompounding
Flies draw sugar from his head
His eyes are blueberries, video screens
Minneapolis schemes and the dried flowers
From books half-read
The juice of dark cherries cover his chin
The dog walks in and the crow lies in his jaw like lead
Everything eats and is eaten, time is fed
Early еvening, the pink ring swallows
The sphеrical marigold terrain
Sleepily, Venus sinks and hollows
The stationed headlight of a plane
You are as far from me as memory
With fixtures fracture varyingly
The juice of dark cherries cover my skin
Six years in, no baby
Everything eats and is eaten
Ingydar bares a scar like a meteor
Crystalline amber guilds her cheek
Tambourine of the beech leaves lead her
To the raven playing hide and seek
Drying blueberries, figurines and the angel leans
At the head of the bed
The juice of dark cherries cover my chin
The dog walks in and the crow lies in his smile like lead
Everything eats and is eaten, time is fed
Everything eats and is eaten
Everything eats and is eaten
Everything eats and is eaten
Everything eats and is eaten
Everything eats and is eaten
I remember listening to this song constantly last fall. My agoraphobia was really bad then, and I listened to this when I was anxious to calm me down.
Thank you.
You cannot fathom how much comfort this song has brought me as well as many other people.
A tad off topic, but do you have any tips on how to get over agoraphobia? I'm so scared to leave my house
The most profound thing I listened to for a while
"his eyes are blueberries, video screens,
minneapolis schemes and the dried flowers
from books half-read
the juice of dark cherries cover his chin
the dog walks in and the crow lies in his
jaw like lead"
With a mix fragrant of darkness, I felt everything we had encountered through are developed based on the nature. Thank you for this music
One of the prettiest songs ever. I love it.

Oh I agree on a silent voice.
we were all born hungry

Im so sorry fo the loss of ur pet
Best new song of my year 2022. Guitar playing is gorgeous. Stunning. Phenomenal musician.
This song has a wonderful sort of moody & turbulent texture to it 💛
Initially, I thought the hook was "Everything needs some defeating." And even though that's not it, for some reason that struck a chord with me.
sometimes you just hear what you need to hear
The lyrics are sung just as beautifully as they’re written, it’s truly a peacefully, sadly and uniquely beautiful song, with the guitar to top it all of, it gives a feeling nothing else could describe.
If words were water you would be The River of Rivers, Much Love, this track is amazing........
BEAUTIFUL BRO HOLY FUCK THIS HAS ME FEELIN SOMETHING
The guitar that comes in at 0:09 sounds like a piano somehow
Pianos and guitars are more connected than people may think
Pianos in theory are guitars. The strings are struck by a hammer.
there's so much wisdom in there. just beautiful and profound.
Adrianne is super talented on the guitar 🎸🎸🎸 and her singing voice is too legit to quit.
The fact that is whole album is suddenly getting so famous on social media after three years of it being released…
She makes the most gorgeous touching songs of all time
Good fella named Neil brought me here.
Thanks man. This helps like you can't imagine...

why have i only just read the lyrics to this song 3 years later. imagery is so deep and profound
What a beautifully quiet, mesmerising song. Perfect for writing my character’s lover.
No song has never made feel like how this song made me felt. Absolutely breathtaking!🖤
This is absolutely amazing! I would love to hear her do a album with Ben Howard.

Absolut fantastic Adrienne! Thank you for the music.

It makes me kind of mad how pretty this song is. Like I feel things when I listen to it.
This is a good ass song thx

To me, the clip of trees played over this song feels like it was filmed from inside the window of my lake cabin, I’m not sure why.
