Big Thief - Masterpiece (Live on KEXP) 

I honestly think this is one of the best songs ever written. It has everything. Been listening to it since it first came out and still makes me cry with love and wonderment.

A relentlessly honest song from a band with plenty of it. "Old friends, old lovers, dogs and brothers There's only so much letting go you can ask someone to do"

The round the room pan to smiles @ 2:30 during the little solo. Makes me smile too, everytime

As infinitely lovely as Adrianne's voice is, it adds a whole new depth to Big Thief's sound to hear Buck's.

When Buck's solo is so darn good you just have to connect butts.

This band is a masterpiece.

this band LOVES playing with each other

Years, days, makes no difference to me babe You look exactly the same to me Ain't no time, crossing your legs inside the diner Raising your coffee to your lips, the steam You saw the masterpiece, she looks a lot like you Wrapping her left arm around your right Ready to walk you through the night You whisper to a restless ear, "can you get me out of here? This place smells like piss and beer, can you get me out?" You were asking me, how to get you free I only know the recipe to roam You saw the masterpiece, she looks a lot like you Wrapping her left arm around your right Ready to walk you through the night Old stars Filling up my throat You gave em to me when I was born Now they're coming out Laying there on the hospital bed your eyes were narrow, blue and red You took a draw of breath and said to me You saw the masterpiece, she looks a lot like me Wrapping my left arm round your right Ready to walk you through the night Old friends, old mothers, dogs and brothers There's only so much letting go you can ask someone to do So I keep you by my side, I will not give you to the tide I'll even walk you in my stride, Marie Cause I saw the masterpiece, she looks a lot like you Wrapping your left arm round my right Ready to walk me through the night

KEXP is the best. I've learned of so freaking many great artists directly because of them. Big Thief is way up at or near the top. Such honesty, I love them.

Each of the members of this band have such potent and unique vibes. It's so lovely to see them having such fun!

Revisiting this video in light of the new album’s release. The thing that strikes me about Big Thief is how much they enjoy each other while playing. That energy is evident in all their music. They are family.

No animals were hurt during this session said the bass player

It’s pure joy to see them playing together

I just have something in my eye

They play STRAIGHT from the heart - there's no bullshit with this band.

Ohhh! What a voice! what a music! what a band! great! thanks form France!

BIG THIEF playing loose and having fun ................... luv it.

The best version of this song I’ve seen. And probably best live in studio performance I’ve seen too. My daughter is seeing them in Northampton next week and I’m super jealous!

Together they are just magical

This is really beautiful.

God they are beautiful

SUCH a fan after seeing this.

i'm in love with this whole band

They look like they were having so much fun

I absolutely love this track. They have more talent than almost any band out there and I'm happy to have a rock band back in the rotation. For a long time I've been finding the best rock under the Folk category (Felice Brothers) it is nice to hear legit rocknroll I actually like again.

What breath of fresh air this band are. Beautiful song from Beautiful souls. Wonderful to watch.

god i fucking needed this, you know?

They are having a blast, this connects so strongly

So good !!! Wunderbar !!

Anna sounds so vulnerable you know but I'd wager she could still kick most anyone's ass. She is, after all, a black belt in Karate.

Pretty sure the base player stormed the Capitol.

Love to see Adrianne when she is having fun.

Oh my god I love this fucking song

Loved the feedback in that solo. The amp really a huge part of the sound.

Que som espetacular!

Me encantan con todos sus errores

They should record a live album.

perfect

🧡

I cannnot for the life of me figure outthis fucking solo. It's so great but how does he do it

2:49 music is so great when you gotta ask yourself about the intersection of order and chaos

this is absolute power

17,000 total plays??? Can't be - - I swear that I have 10,000 of them.

Does anybody have a good tab for Buck's solo there? I haven't been able to find one, just Adrienne's chords (f, am, c/g, f x4 - with a couple of variations).

Amo essa banda ❤️ ps.: Duvivier na bateria?

guitar solo was epic

!!!

Does anyone know a link for the lyrics?

Fucking love this track, you guys are just the best!

Fucking awesome!

I was like...this aint from the new album. Got a lot of catchin up to do though!

1:57

I didn't know Aaron Rodgers also played drums.

Masterpiece? A little understatement...

serious lucinda williams vibes

PJ Harvey vibes

VEGAN

One of the worse versions
