Adrianne Lenker - "Anything" (Live for WFUV)

[@bernardfookins8]

"I don't wanna be the owner of your fantasy, I just wanna be a part of your family" gets me every time. Such a treasure. Adrianne is the best 🖐️🖐️⤵️

[@adamboof6769]

Yeah man that’s the single best line I’ve heard this decade. And for it to lead into the chorus is just insane. She’s unequivocally good.

[@NITESKYLIGHT]

you are right, 'i don't wanna be the owner of your fantasy, i just wanna be part of your family' - you can't pre-plan or post-plan or now-plan for a lyric like this, so do right by it, i will also

[@Dielawn69]

@@adamboof6769 It's a good line but damn idk if it's that good lol.

[@willjones8801]

It makes me so sad

[@brucemichaelgrossman4913]

She’s such an underrated guitarist. The way she plays chords is dreamlike.

[@userx4923]

this picking pattern is difficult lol

[@darkforest4891]

I'm okay with the pattern, but that 559 stretch. Shes an absolute monster. Also her playing on simulation swarm is another example of how good she is

[@ShibaInu154]

@@darkforest4891 The 559 stretch and still allowing for open string ringing is a wrist breaker. . .

[@ggguitar.]

her solos at big thief shows kill, too

[@legibby]

If you’re a guitar player…just try to play this like she’s playing it. Then sing a perfect melody on top of it. She’s pulling off super difficult stuff here and making it sound so simple.

[@luminescenc3]

the perfect embodiment of being a “childish” person. pleading like a child to be near the other again, pushing everyone away just like an angsty teen, clinging to memories you can barely remember. this is such a vulnerable piece n it feels like she took it right from my soul

[@Laniakea_Super]

her songwriting is just incredible. "Circle of pine and red oak/Circle of moss and firesmoke" is so simple but so evocative, and this song is full of lines like that

[@shittysunglasses]

Unbelievable writing

[@jazmindodds]

"Christmas eve with your mother and sis, dont wanna fight but your mother insists" might be one of my fave lines ever

[@professoraviva4628]

that line reminds me of: Counting-Out Rhyme by Edna St. Vincent Millay Silver bark of beech, and sallow Bark of yellow birch and yellow Twig of willow. Stripe of green in moosewood maple, Colour seen in leaf of apple, Bark of popple. Wood of popple pale as moonbeam, Wood of oak for yoke and barn-beam, Wood of hornbeam. Silver bark of beech, and hollow Stem of elder, tall and yellow Twig of willow.

[@thedanielleallen]

me for 90% of the video: "show us her right hand you cowards" probably my favorite song of hers of all time

[@francoisbl4324]

her left hand you mean?

[@thedanielleallen]

@@francoisbl4324 I'm mostly curious about the picking pattern she's using, so would have loved to have seen more of the right one!

[@buffyfantastico]

@@thedanielleallen You can try the tinydesk version, visible for at least some of the song kzbin.info/www/bejne/inzGgqyLqN-Xntk

[@sophiafake-virus2456]

Yes, her picking technique is special. She uses alternate tuning too.

[@thedanielleallen]

@@sophiafake-virus2456 yes! She wrote in her recent Reddit AMA that the tuning for this song is d#a#d#g,a#d#, for anyone out there who needs it

[@olly49]

“Wanna listen to the sound of you blinking, wanna listen to your hands soothe” :(

[@fatima.aaaaaaaaaa]

AGHHHHH

[@weirdbardward]

My God, even her inhales are beautiful.

[@parkergreene4053]

gets a 12-string sound out of 6. beautiful

[@rafaelleafar]

this song just got a million times better after watching this.

[@sophiafake-virus2456]

I agree, this is much better than the recorded version.

[@pj_day]

maybe my favorite song she’s written.

[@jonschroedinger8360]

Adrianne is a treasure. Found out about her a few years back when a friend of mine was playing her while she was giving me a ride home. Stayed mesmerized by Hours Were thr Birds for weeks after that and haven't missed an album since.

[@bencollis]

This is just so unbearably beautiful

[@BleuMace-wh6jf]

“don’t want to fight but your mother insists….” that hit me so hard.

[@beaicedtea]

this song will always be so special to me it’s one of the few songs i can listen to on repeat and never ever get sick of

[@marshalljames2361]

This song is brave

[@cminty6805]

To be able to capture a certain feeling when you go through a painful separation. And to make it so beautiful. Feel lucky to get to hear this.

[@rebeccamontgomery4984]

I heard this song because it randomly came up on my spotify... and I've been listening to it on loop ever since! Adrianne, you are truly a uniquely beautiful artist

[@davidrose1109]

This song is so beautiful it hurts. Just discovered her on KZbin. I was instantly hooked.

[@chased4873]

We must protect this person at all costs.

[@pj_day]

Thank you, Adrianne.

[@ericpeterson6766]

so unique one of a kind and to be admired and treasured and maybe not talked about, it might dispel the magic if it is a sort of mirage, in spite of my conviction it is all very real, just rare.

[@tituspatch3653]

Heard her for the first time while listening to the radio, the other day. WOW! What a voice and such beautiful lyrics.

[@Chubcub]

Been playing this on a replay, why am i just discovering this

hour 2 of cruing this song is so beautifully devastating. so talented

[@chrissawyer4060]

I was casually listening to some playlist when a line from "Masterpiece" struck me like cold water and had me tearing up when i discovered the wonder that is Adrianne Lenker and Big Thief. I would love to hear the whole band take a run at this album i can only imagine what kind of modal hillbilly space jazz solo Buck would come up with.

[@spencershiver8302]

Which line?!
