LERA LYNN Performs "MY LEAST FAVORITE LIFE" Live at RESISTOR 

So I started True Detective season 2, a little late to the game I know, I get close to the end of episode 1 and I hear this song, I pause the episode and get on youtube to look it up and here I am. Beautiful and haunting, love this song!

To me, this song smells like rain falling on the grass and pine trees, tastes like dark whiskey, and feels like the woman I could never have.

Pain is inexhaustible. It’s only people that get exhausted.

This song is so unbelievably dark, and yet relatable if you've ever had a rough go of things. Beautifully performed and written.

My Least Favorite Life This is my least favorite life The one where you fly and I don't A kiss holds a million deceits And a lifetime goes up in smoke This is my least favorite you Who floats far above earth and stone The nights that I twist on the rack Is the time that I feel most at home We're wandering in the shade And the rustle of fallen leaves A bird on the edge of a blade Lost now forever, my love, in a sweet memory The station pulls away from the train The blue pulls away from the sky The whisper of two broken wings Maybe they're yours, maybe they're mine This is my least favorite life The one where I am out of my mind The one where you are just out of reach The one where I stay and you fly I'm wandering in the shade And the rustle of fallen leaves A bird on the edge of the blade Lost now forever, my love, in a sweet memory

"My Least Favorite Life" This is my least favorite life The one where you fly and I don’t A kiss holds a million deceits And a lifetime goes up in smoke This is my least favorite you Who floats far above earth and stone The nights that I twist on the rack Is the time that I feel most at home We're wandering in the shade And the rustle of fallen leaves A bird on the edge of a blade Lost now forever, my love, in a sweet memory The station pulls away from the train The blue pulls away from the sky The whisper of two broken wings May be they’re yours, maybe they’re mine This is my least favorite life The one where I am out of my mind The one where you are just out of reach The one where I stay and you fly I'm wandering in the shade And the rustle of fallen leaves A bird on the edge of the blade Lost now forever, my love, in a sweet memory

"My love in a sweet memory" This one goes deep and hits hard, especially if you ever lost someone important.

Some songs grow on you after a while. This is one of those songs that you hear the first time and say WOW.

Season 2 brought me here, her voice keeps bringing me back.

The most beautiful song ever written. Hauntingly desperate, mysteriously sad.

🎵this is my most favorite song...🎵

An amazing song in an exceptionally clean performance that fully ensnares the listener before even the first verse has finished. For years I hosted a songwriter night (guitar pull) in Nashville, and this song is the type of performance that would hush a crowd in a heartbeat and demand that jaded industry pros stop whatever they were doing and give it a total listen. That's how this grabbed me when I first heard it in True Detective. Bravo! 👏😎👍

Its fucking mesmerising!! Pure class

This song may have healed my broken heart. Or shattered it into infinity.

was just listening to this today. Lera Lynn is the best thing to come out of season 2 True Detect.

This song is special. Her voice is captivating here.. somber yet melodic and sure of herself... Like she has finally figured out her darkness. Just a special vibe.

I will not disclose the amount of times I’ve come here to listen…: a few years ago it was probably an alarming amount. Lera is a queen.

From the moment she starts singing I felt this was a very one in a million song - a real gem....

This song is like something from 1965 we still listen to.

Perpetually stunned I still stumble across genius like this. This is where record stores going away killed music overall. Because no way this would go unnoticed back then.

This is my favorite Lera Lynn song; as she sings it, there is a beauty beyond mere sound. It sends echoes into my mind, and it makes me wonder how she could've possibly known what words to put together here to describe such tristesse. She and her writers did such a great job, but Lera's delivery was what I truly identify with.

Found this gem on True detective. It touches my soul 🤩 wow.

Love the mood. These are some of the best lyrics I've heard. So haunting. So beautiful.

Thinking back, she was TD Season 2. Her voice and performance is a godsend.

This song cuts right through me. I can feel it in my chest every time I hear it.

Here from True detective. What a sad and beautiful song!

I can so relate to this song it's eerie! My parents ping pong ball growing up, my husband decides now its a great time to leave me or say its over during sickness. I'm glad I found you Lera Lynn. This song is so appropriate to my life. Thank you.

2 сезон "True detective" великолепен, кто бы что ни говорил. Актерские работы вне всяких похвал. Особенно Винс Вон и Колин Фаррелл хороши. Атмосфера, режиссура, операторская работа и саундтрек на высоком уровне. Первый и второй сезоны - разные, каждый хорош по-своему.

She is fascinating... Her voice was enough to make me fall in love with her, after seeing her face, I am speechless... I think I am going to worship her.

So Talented! Like Kate Bush, Pink Floyd or the Beatles, I can't stop listening to her music! I Even purchased one of her limited edition Vinyls of "On my Own" along with every CD she has made in a bundle and hope to find an online ticket I purchased to see her in concert in Athens in June near my Birthday. She has the voice of a thousand angels in sync and yet is so beautiful at the same time. Her eyes mesmerize along with her voice. I've been through a personal Hell the past two years along with 5 years of continuous depression so her songs help me make it through each day of painting or sketching. I put her music on through Spotify and everything is ok for a while. :)

Its the best. From Russia, with love!

Those lyrics, that voice, that guitar sound, those spectacular lips are all magnificent.

She is an amazing artist, and so beautiful

gets inside you, makes emotions resonate

From Russia with Love!Thanks Lera!

Such a beautiful haunting voice !! This song should have been the theme song to True Detectivec season 2

How is it possible for a song to be so beautiful, so sad and so personal?

Chills. You, your voice, your presence, your poetry-all are so exquisite it brings me to tears. Thank you for bringing this beauty into the world.

This is my most favorite new song! The one that is melting my heart! The one that reminds of my beloved brother who's gone!

sadness + rhotacism + beauty + talent = cuteness x 1000

Wonderful that this kind of music still exists.

This girl is the best voice i ve ever heard

Love this women. She is an exceptional writer, performer and artist. Her music is so haunting...one feels memorized upon hearing it.

back in 2019 and this is still incredible, timeless, thank you Lera

For those guitarists trying to figure it out... it’s open Dm tuning (DADFAD). I’d never come across that before, very cool. DmMaj7 is the signature spooky sound she’s using, think last chord of the James Bond theme...

She sang with the perfection like the recorded version, such an amazing singer, lucky to be born into the same era with her.

Sends shivers down my spine.

Эта песня достойна быть главной темой 2-го сезона. This song deserves to be the main theme of season 2.

Hauntingly beautiful song. ❤😢

Saw Lera live in Umeå in northern Sweden a few years back, thanks for stopping by our remote part of Europe. Love this rendition of the song.

Fell in love with this a long time ago, forgot about it and her. An ad for some videogame came on today with her singing a song for it (Endless Dumgeon the game) and looked her name and saw I was already subscribed. Didn’t have a clue as to why, till I saw this video. I didn’t know it was possible to fall in love twice but here I am, as starstruck as the night sky.

I come to this song when I want to feel. Just anything. Sorrow. Despair. Hope. Resolution. It hits all the high notes and all the lows in-between.

Heard this on three pines. Very beautiful.

I just heard this for the first time on Three Pines. Beautiful ❤️

Caught a live performance of this song on Later with Jools Holland and was immediately in love with the sadness of the music and the brilliantly poetic lyrics.

WOW! Goosebumps all over the body when listening to such wonderful performance...

Вспоминаю Леру в фильме..Пустой бар как пустая жизнь,и одинокая девушка на сцене как символ потерянности.Гитарный гранж.Все очень депрессивно,все очень красиво..Спасибо!

I cannot believe this is a live performance 🤯🙌🏼

Beautiful and breathtaking the song the lyrics goes right to the very soul🌹 Thank you Sister for sharing your music

Lera Lynn your voice and songs are as beautiful as you are, your'e an inspiration your lyrics and music is haunting, truthful, meaningful, beautiful it's transcending a perfection of art and harmony. Thank you for your genius I love your songs!

I saw here live in Austin, simply amazing.

Your voice and those words... they are the most precious things I have ever heard.

2019 and still can't get enough of this song

Still gives me chills!!! What an amazing track!!!

Beautiful human being, beautiful voice and beautiful lyrics! incredible song and had an instant impact on me from the second I heard it.

Thank you Lera Lynn for a piece of 'True' poetry. Like life, it is heartbreaking and haunting.

jeeeeeez these lyrics, the goosebumps, the mood, cuts on another level of deep

What an excellent choice to end episode 1 of TD season 2. Hat's off to whoever created the score for this series, both seasons.

This and my Jack Daniels.

Какая же ты умница! Просто прекрасная!

Beautiful and haunting song. The power of the V In a minor key.

I love this bittersweet awesomeness of a song

2020 and still one of the best songs ever. Thanks for this Lera!

What a beautiful song. Couldn't help searching it after True Detective

This and lately really hit home for me, only recently discovered Lera and glad I did. Much love from Canada and never stop making music.

Maybe this is her least favorite life, but it's definitely my most favorite song now. 😏 It's hauntingly melodic. Aside from the fact that I could totally identify with the lyrics. I've managed to experience so much drama & trauma in this one lifetime, & had to reinvent myself into a completely different person from the ground up from scratch so many times now, that it LITERALLY feels like I've got several lifetimes into this one.🙃 By my count, I'm on my fifth one so far and I'm 51 now, but it feels more like 81, cuz my aching soul is just SO... SO... TIRED now. 😵‍💫🥱

Voice like an angel!

This song hits me right in the soul the melodie her voice and the lyrics awesome like a soothing voice in the distance when youre looking for answers in the bottom of a bottle i hope they play this at my funeral someday

True Detective season 2 brought me here.

Best undepressed song ever. Alternative realities and passing lifes. Choose yours. Thanks for this.

Amazing! Hands down to that performance. Such moving song and singing.

Most favorite song...

her voice is amazing

This is absolutely sublime

I had the honor of being at her concert. This was spectacular. as she herself said - her songs are sad, but she is cheerful

you have a marvelous voice miss Lynn.Keep on singing.

Lera, give us more songs like this!

What a life

БРАВО 1000 раз!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Это возможно самая печальная песня, которую я слышала, а сам 2 сезон в лучших традициях Достоевского и Тургенева, второй раз пересмотрела с большим удовольствием и второй сезон понравился больше, чем первый. Сама певица настоящая находка, шикарный ход для создания атмосферы и раскрытия характера фильма.

Brilliant, beautiful song with great lyrics. Had me hooked from the first line.

Unbelievably beautiful voice to say the least! Great job 👍👍

this tune hit me the for first time today. 🖤

Brilliant singer & songwriter, those lyrics go deep. Love her.

The lyrics, the song, the way you sing, your beauty... Everything is perfect. Lera Lynn reminding me of Vera Lynn. ♥

Masterpiece.

This lady is one special talent!

I'm gunna be honest, I'm here because of that endless dungeon trailer. Many people there had said you sing in that, so I came to listen to a few of your songs. Loving them so far, and can't wait to hear the full version of that song from endless dungeon too.

Season 2 is literally up there with season 1 if deeply overlooked. I only say that because i hear so many people bashing season 2. There will never be another season 1, mathews and woodys atmosphere they created with their characters is out of this world. Season 2 floats more with deception and trust. You wont get those deep conversations like season 1 but youll get sympathetic nature each one has for the other.

This is my least favorite life The one where I am out of my mind…❤️‍🩹
