This song was playing in my headphones while my mom was crying on the phone, we were in the car and I didn’t know what was going on, but she told me that a really close friend of ours killed himself, so whenever I hear it it’s what makes me think about him,it’s really cool how everything has a memory or feeling attached to this song, so I just wanted to share mine
This song feels like that nostalgia that makes you lay down in bed and cry wishing you could even for just a moment go back to experience that happiness one last time.
I don't know how Adrianne Lenker always manages to remind me of nature. Like whenever I hear her voice and peaceful guitar strumming I can just picture wide fields with animals frolicking in them, mountains, rain, forests, meadows... Like it just makes me want to disappear and go live in nature
@@bigfootlover345 Me too, I thought the voice sounded familiar and searched it up, turns out it is actually her! She's the lead vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter. Or that's what wikipedia says
I got caught in a rainstorm while this song was playing and in that moment i felt infinite and tiny at the same time. This song reminds me of the time i realised i will never be a child again, which is a strange feeling.
Lyrics Chilled in the kitchen of a city tomb The light would flicker like a violent womb The night was thicker than a smoky fume Eliza waited in her room Ben, he loved her like he loved no one The way she laughed and held a smoking gun The way she always said "What's done is done" And he is not the only one Love is a gentle thing Yours is thicker than a velvet ring Yours is thicker than a velvet ring A victim here with a sharp, sharp blade And Ben, he knew how she was getting paid Her water broke and they would have to wait And when he knew that she was fooling He faced the mirror to avoid the thing We're out of money and we've sold the bling And I just wanna take you home I just wanna take you home Love is a gentle thing Yours is thicker than a velvet ring Yours is thicker than a velvet ring And I'm wondering Ring And I'm wondering
Shoved in the kitchen of a city tomb The light would flicker like a violent womb The night was thicker than a smokey fume Liza waited in the room Benny loved her like he loved no one The way she'd laugh and hold a smoking gun The way she always said what's done is done And he was not the only one Love is a gentle thing Yours is thicker than a velvet ring Yours is thicker than a velvet ring A victim healer with a sharp sharp blade Benny knew how she was getting paid Her water broke and they would have to wade When he knew that she was fooling He faced the mirror to avoid the thing said We're outta money and we sold the bling And I just wanna take you home, I just wanna take you home Love is a gentle thing Yours is thicker than a velvet ring Yours is thicker than a velvet ring And I am wandering I am wandering
me and my friend used to skip classes together in middle school. We’d sit against the wall and put our feet on the toilet and listen to this album. Kinda weird but I’ll always remember her.
You know, I’m writing this at 5 in the morning, and my soul is in great pain. I suffer every single day, and it doesn’t get any easier. I beg you to cherish the love and support of your loved ones, as only they can be there for you even when you don’t think you need it.
This song reminds me of when I was seven and I was sleeping at my grandma's. It had been around a month since my grandfather died and I was in the same bed as her. It must have been around 2 AM when I told her I couldn't sleep. Instead of trying to get me to sleep she asked me if I wanted to see the stars. I told her yes and we went to the little balcony on the living room. She pointed to a star that seemed to shine a lot more than the others. She said that my grandfather would always be the shiniest star on the sky. Now every time I get to look at the stars I always see one that shines more than the others.
Everyone talks about how this reminds them of being a kid getting ready for school and stuff but I can kinda feel that even tho I’m 15. I know I’m not the oldest of people in here but it takes me back to a time where kids wasn’t so worried about everything. Back when I was happy and innocent. Back when I would fall asleep in my mother’s arms. Before everything happened to me and fogged life and make it so complicated
when i first started experiencing derealization episodes a couple years ago, i would put this song on, close my eyes and just sob. i still cry every time i hear it
this song reminds me of someone i dated for a few weeks in sophomore year of hs. he liked me so much but i felt this extreme discomfort at kissing him or dating him. i found this song during that time and it really resonated with me because his love felt uncomfortable and thick like i couldnt escape. thicker than a velvet ring. to me this song perfectly exemplifies the discomfort i always had around boundaries with people
this song reminds me of how every time it rained my mom would prepare a big mug of hot chocolate and we would sit in our backyard and enjoy the warm hot chocolate together in the rain. she moved away so i don't see her much anymore but sometimes i wish i could just sit down in the rain with my mama and enjoy a mug of hot chocolate with no care in the world.
The first time I listened to this song I was watching the sunrise and all of the outside world was waking up and this song just made me look at life in a way i never thought i would see it.
What a fantastic, complex piece of songwriting and composition this is. The vocal progressions are haunting and otherworldly so difficult to pin down. Bravo.
This song feels like sitting on the left Side of the back of the car and you remember all of those times, it brings you happiness yet sadness at the same time, a nostalgia that makes you appreciate all those moments.
this song reminds me of dancing in the field on summer days in primary school, when we all wore our summer dresses and our bodies were sticky with sunscreen and sweat. when the only worries we had was what nintendo ds games to take with us so we wouldnt be bored on the car drive to wherever we would be spending that summer. the daisy chains we would make when we needed a rest from dancing. the pigeon songs on our way to school. the kind of happy, innocent excitement we stop feeling when we grow up.
I'm 16 and struggle with self harm and an Ed and am trying to get out of being groomed. This song makes me feel better, and a little less panicked all the time
life has its ups and its downs, youre here for a reason and its a special thing to even be strong enough to try to break these habits, or even to be able to address that you have problems. i hope you can find a longterm peace in your life. i know what it feels like to have your mind work against your body, but if i can stop so can you. its a long process, but we are all capable of it. i believe in you and i believe in what you can do.
Who s grooming you? Get away from them Or alert the staff I m old so whats "ED" Mean I was abused as a child multiple Times and multiple people Physically s_xually emotionly As an adult i hurt myself and others crime prison the whole deal Finally i grew up a little late and Faced my past all of it I m ok today and have been for years now Lifes never perfect or easy But i ve come to believe its a gift And responsibility Nothing good comes with out Hard work Get a good counselor you trust or a person close to you And talk about everything thats happened to you And whatever's bothering you too Let it all out Trust me eventually it feels good and you get better Thanks From the ghost on the shore
This song brings up the emotions of both deep sadness and great appreciation for life. It reminds me of a time my best friend and I climbed on top of her roof, we stayed there for hours just looking at the sky and talking. We hauled up blankets and pillows once it got dark and looked at the stars and discussed our future. That moment feels so far away now.
This song reminds me of my current partner, he loves me so deeply it’s thickening. His love is like drugs it leaves me addicted and wanting more. Someday I hope he’s the one I marry, that he’s the one I start a family with. I want to hold him as he cries, care for him when he’s ill, and wake up next to him everyday of the year. I feel like he’s the only one who truly understands me.
this song reminds me when being a child was fun. i miss being happy, i miss not worrying about my body, my face or what i eat. i wish i was a child again,.
my theory is that when you wrap a ring made of fabric or velvet around your finger it’s thick in between them. could symbolize marriage or promises etc… and when people say they’re in the thick of love it’s like love is deep and powerful. i think it’s mainly about loving someone deeply in a childish way. that’s what I like to think anyway
“Velvet Ring is about a couple but the woman, named Liza, is prostituting herself. The man, Benny, is aware of this which is shown in the line “Benny know how she was getting paid.” After this Liza becomes pregnant and although her and Benny struggle with money he decides to stay with her because their love for each other is so strong.”
This song makes me happy I didn't kill myself only 3 years ago now, just has a way of making me sickeningly happy, almost giddy. Makes the future seem all the more worthwhile, maybe not for the promises of adult life, maybe not for independence from parental figures, but maybe just for something as simple human connection, maybe everything will end up alright if you have someone, maybe not close but just someone to talk to.
@@fishtastic I know it's been three weeks since you've commented but truly thank you for this comment. Standing at the foot of a mountain, yearning to be at the peak, the road up the face of said mountain is truly daunting and self-deprecating to even think of at points. The journey to being even okay mentally is much the same, but in both cases, the view from the top is indescribably worth the journey. Thank you for just giving me the conformation that I made the right choice, even if meaning I gave it was unintended. This simple sentiment has reserved it's place within my mind. Thank you.
@@caivean2337 caviean2337! thank you, mental health is certainly a battle at times. for as long as we do live, i’d like for us to keep living and find meaning in even the worst of times. even if it doesn’t get better tomorrow, we will have so many days after to be able to live through and see that even in the most boring of days that there is a comfort of us, still living. i believe in you, and everyone else too ♥︎
Feels like walking through a field to go home from a warm day out with friends on the last day of summer. Golden hour rays and dandelion tufts in the air. Limbs tired but heart light, both looking forward to Autumn but not to school. Maybe getting a bit existential on the way
I wrote a fanfiction book based off of this song (cringy, i know) to some of my favorite characters. - It gathered some of my closest friends that I have today and a ton of views. I’m currently one of the most well known fanfiction authors in that goofy little fandom. I helped people make their own fanfictions of it, and many people have told me they look up to me because of that one book. I love being a young, stupid kid. I get to write fanfics and have fun with it without looking back at the cringe too much lol. 🤷🏻♂️ just thought I’d share
i think of my first love that I couldn’t been with when I play this song, this track is just so soothing to my soul. hope any new commenters share their beautiful stories and connect w/ others listening to this excellent track
This song makes me think of every second of love that’s been given to me that sits in a clock of time called my life and I love every moment I share with the ones I love and I hope to remember those moments when I’m old
This song reminds me of the pure times I had as a kid , even though it’s about love but it reminds me of the love my father used to give me and how it switched all of a sudden due to drug addiction and abuse.
This song reminds me of summer I had went to Florida with AirPods on in my window down and thinking about how my life is and how many bad things I have been through and I still here on my feet and happy
Somehow Somewhere Someone I heard this before And it was fun Turning summers yellow gold into winters ivory bone Cold stoned and all alone Quietly Listening for someone You left me here a year ago yesterday I looked high and I looked low But couldn't find a thing Or even wear you had Begun to begin Apparently just a fling With The smoking gun Pointed right at me Somehow Somewhere Someone
this song reminds me of the days i would always play outside with my friends wishing i was an teenager and wishing i experienced teenage things, now i regret all of it.
i dont know why but the song, especially the lyrics "and I just wanna take you home, I just wanna take you home'' remind me of my worst crush. I was, in definition, moon-struck. but I convinced myself I dont like him anymore because my friends told me I shouldn't. now, the truth is im not over him, and I just wanna take him home (not like that) even tough he would probably do me wrong
I was in Dallas recently to attend my half-brother's funeral and the next day I went to a local coffee shop for a good expresso Americana. I over heard this song on the shop's speakers and I asked the barrista for the name of it. I researched it the next day and was surprised to see the lyrics referenced a man named Benny. That happens to be my departed brother's name. Benny's ex-wife had attended his funeral and I could not help, but to feel that she still had feelings for him. It was a very somber atmosphere, but I was happy I went and made the long drive there.
This relates to the road trips my dad takes me and my brother on , i would be in the back seat , this song in my head , almost asleep , while my brother in the front with my dad , Dad would play some music from the 80s and he would jam to it , it would be adorable to me
When you see the edge of the ledge Step back and say "hey" You spent your life thinking no one wanted to love you But that's not true The skies would cry heavenly tears if you were gone The ocean sang its crashing song as if to wait your warm embrace The wind would miss flowing through your hair You thought no one loved you, but that ISNT TRUE! Someone with care wouldn't, couldn't bear to lose you. Dont make them jealous of the times they spent with you. Make them happy you pulled through.
this song is how i feel when i feel bad for getting into a fight with my mom knowing that she will forget who i am in the next couple of years and me not wanting these last memories with her to be bad ones
This song reminds me when i woke up early for online classes and making breakfast while in class. The cold weather, my big Harry Styles cardigan that my mom made and my mom sleeping in my bed next to my desk. Dark but comfy times
This song is very beautiful it reminds me of my childhood and how much I miss being a little kid even though I wasn’t loved by my parents this song show how life back then was way better then now and this song makes me not wanna jump of a bridge and it kinda fills up the hole in my heart
This song reminds me of many things Might i add i love how many people interpret this song what it reminds them of so ill add some of mine. 1. I have been through so many changes of life over the past 5-6 years i from trying to end myself to put it nicely in the summer of 2019 and then dedciding i need to get help and being diagnosed with depression that same year, to graduating high school in 2020 which as yall probably know we was a crazy year for everyone however unlike most i worked through the pandemic as i worked at a senior nursing home to moving out my mom's 2021 and living with my siblings for 2 year and now where i live alone. I chose that and i like it's nice not having to answer to anyone , being alone is peaceful howver it can get lonely sometimes as a spent a lot of time as a kid by myself and obviously even now as someone on the more introverted side i like my space and i like my alone time it's very peaceful and i have learned to appreciate it 2. However almost a year ago i ment my current partner at the time of writing this i ment i year prior we didnt talked much one day i was bored and wanted to go out and try to make friends i wasnt looking for a relationship at the time however after we ment in person we just clicked on the first date we share alot in common. i think love is very was definitely " a gentle thing at first " we definitely had feelings for one another but i didnt want to rush into anything either so it took me some time for ask him out and then later he told me he loved me and the words came out naturally as i felt the same for a while at that point and ever since then i just fall a little deeper in love with him everytime i see him throughout the bad and good. He's caring, funny , compassionate, beautiful ,kind, supportive of things i want to achieve. I definitely think my love for him is thicker then velvet ring he's been there for me during the my hard moments and my softer moments. There just so much i can say but im terrible with my words but i definitely want to have a life with him. 3. This song is also a inspiration for my art i haven't drew on paper in awhile as i prefer drawing on a laptop but my laptop decided to not work so until i get a new one im going back to paper and pin. There definitely more things this song makes me think of but i think ill leave here 😂 oml the paragraphs
this song makes me think of the boy i have a crush on. like the feeling of my heart pounding so much when im around him that it starts to hurt a bit and when he kisses me i feel like its only me and him…. i love this song so much it makes me feel so giddy and emotional
ive been to several music vids/songs of thr soundtrack of a happening of monumental proportions alot of wholesome pureness , i am glad so much love is abound and around ! :)
new fan from tt !! this song played right after vampire empire on Spotify and i levitated. i love love love raspy(?) voices like hers. the lyrics are so damn sweet, the squeeks of the guitar, all so good. rlly reminds me of my old self.
