Literally listening to that album now, and was on THAT song (def one of my faves) and had to come to YT to look for vids I havent seen yet and this gem just came in.
everytime i see Big Thief live i just sob a bunch. (never seen adrienne lenker solo). but the softness of the crush to these lyrics is right... wah ;-(
I almost can’t listen to “Standing in the yard/dressed like a kid/the house is white and the lawn is dead.” That’s the half return. As Bob Dylan said, “You can always come back, but you can’t come back all the way.”
7:18 anything 17:24 zombie girl 34:25 half return 47:17 forward beckon rebound For those who have already watched the whole thing (interview is excellent, really deep) and just want the songs again.
What an incredibly thoughtful, curious, and brave human. Feeling lots of gratitude for Adrianne and her sharing her wisdom from beyond the folds of space/time. And big ups to my homie Ged for facing his own shadow self.
There is something so pure and authentic in witnessing someone explore their bliss and share it with the world. Adrianne makes it so accessible too. Thank you for this, so many of us need it right now. 💓
omg i didn't realize there was this with the interview!!!!! I wrote a comment on just the performance video wishing there was this and I'M BEYOND STOKED!! TY KEXP AND ADRIANNE!
Beautiful music. I will admit, never took the time to get into Big Thief, but picked up this solo album after hearing the opening track once, and was really taken with everything about it♥
Oh my goodness! The story behind zombie girl is crazy! I love the way she described it. Great story teller, and very scary experience wow also it's so cool that her grandmother made the water colored album art for those. I love water color painting, especially more minimal ones and landscapes and faces. I should learn that
It must be exhausting to have such a creative & curious mind. Mine is nowhere near as adventurous or questioning as Adrianne's, but I find her musings extraordinary & absorbing. There are very few people who can hold my attention as she does & the music that she creates is just breathtaking...literally.
In an era where 3 min songs about WAP dominate the airwaves She is truly a unique and exceptional songwriter and performer. Call me old school but I like when my music is written and performed by a musician.
Never really understood the hype around Bridgers. Her guitar playing is very elemental and seems that this hype is more industry pushed than anything. Plus her vocal delivery/dynamics is the absolute same. Lenker in the other hand actually knows how to play guitar, by doing multiple different tunings and can actually fingerpick! She studied at the prestigious Berkeley school of music.
@@joed7185 maybe bridgers is more easily digestible but i actually don’t listen to much bridgers personally. i’m a huge fan of lenker and agree she’s a superb guitar player but it’s just not fair to pit women against each other. they make very different music. we can be a fan of one without having to put another down.
this interview was so pure and deep. truly one of the greatest musicians/lyricists in this lifetime. also pretty cool how she was able to meet up with old friends and meet new people throughout the past year. how she narrated those bits felt dreamy for some reason (reason being it's been a year since weve been in lockdown lol)
Hi Morgan! I love your refrigerator coverings!! And blown away by the fabulous Adrianne, so happy to be introduced to her music and person. Thanks for this great KEXP session.
Thank you DJ Morgan and Adrianne for the heartspace and the illuminating conversation. Best thing I've heard in a long while! We are becoming more conscious and it is always a good reminder to breathe into it again.
I usually get impatient with the interview parts of this sort of thing, often skipping to the music; I'm glad I gave this one a chance though. I found the way Adrianne talks about her experiences and music in this interview really refreshing and her music is wonderful.
Maybe they all must sacrifice a part of their whole self in order to collaborate cohesively. The trade off is a greater collective array of ability & personality. Compared to a solo act, she is shining at her brightest as a sun with no blocked rays or interference of any sort.
I liked that part of the video. I never would've been able to detect that but seems like a special experience to listen to music that way. It makes me want to borrow someone's vinyl player (?). I am probably putting her recording efforts to poor use by only listening to her music through a blasted phone speaker lol
The Thinker( a bronze statue) is a naked statute of a Man that should now have one of Adrianne sat next to it. Not many people I would love to sit round a fire and just talk about philosophy,but she's defined one. I intuitively felt what her records were about withought listening to the stories or taking in all the words,you can just feel her emotions through her music 🤍
I am fairly vacant & hearing how deeply she experiences a moment & treasures each detail really shakes me. I can greater detect the gap between my line of existence and her's-not only in the distance between our varied environments but in the depth of one's perception & ability to experience. I have a long road ahead of me if I ever would want to live in the intimate coupled memories she so gracefully depicts through her songs. Her attitude could bring a withering soul back to fullness
Adrianne is awesome and inspirational. I feel she is so strong and fragile at the same time. She also seems to be connected to the universe, if that makes sense. So moving.
Yes Adrianne, spend time with your grandparents, give them love and ask lots of questions to find out about their lives. Now that all my grandparents are gone I’m always thinking of things I wish I could ask and hugs I wish I could give. Thank you for all your beautiful music!!!
Ok I'd never heard of her. I saw a video and I clicked. Wow. She moved me on the first time hearing her. This interview explains everything! lol She has a deep deep soul. And I felt it immediately.
KEXP FOR LIFE!! I'M GOING TO WRITE THOS IN ALL CAPS JUST TO GET MY POINT THROUGH. WATCHING THESE VIDEOS HAVE KEPT ME GOING THROUGH THESE TOUGH TIMES AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE HARD WORK! THESE AWESOME ARTISTS HAVE BROUGHT MY WIFE AMD I GREAT JOY THROUGH THESE HARD TIMES. PLEASE KEEP UP THE HARD WORK. P.S I'VE SEEN EVERYTHING ACCEPT LAURA LOVE HERE, SHE IS A 100% NEEDED ON THE AT HOME. I KNOW Y'ALL KNOW WHO SHE IS!
So much appreciation of Adrianne for making songs and instrumentals, its a beautiful collection that I really love for both records. Please don't ever stop doing what you do Adrianne! I'll be there the next time your in the UK touring
