[@AD-fx2qd]

What a songwriter, man. Amazing to see this level of pure musical and lyrical talent on mainstream television, showing folks what's really going on.

[@samueldavidrucker7514]

You shouldn't be sarcastic

[@OceanographyMusic]

I was thinking the same exact thing.

[@person9305]

@@samueldavidrucker7514who’s being sarcastic?

[@DiggerAlder2008]

Right on!

[@philmcfarland2833]

There’s a “once in a generation” vibe about her. I remember seeing the same quality in Dylan in his earliest years. She’s the real deal.

[@Lebowski55]

Adrianne Lenker is special

[@anikabharwani]

god she makes me want to live.

[@James-ke4gq]

For real, a reminder how much we are capable of feeling and expressing

[@theemeraldaxe1414]

Iife affirming music💖

[@youtubesean]

I want you to live. You’ll miss that sunset you never thought you’d see and the smell of those flowers you will randomly walk by. Those alone make it worth it.

[@anikabharwani]

@@youtubesean oh my god thank you

[@abrilshaw]

I am grateful to be alive on her time. Our free treasure.

[@nerolilaine9973]

One of the best living songwriters 🙏🧡

[@Thisispants]

I think this is true, consistently writing incredible music.

[@andrew6889-p5c]

She is in her absolute prime. Hard to think of anyone better than her right now (not that music is a race).

[@nerolilaine9973]

@@andrew6889-p5c I don't think there is anyone better than her rn

[@hpkj4576]

her kindness and brilliance is incomparable. all i want is to immerse myself in adrianne's music and writing. so glad to be experiencing life with her.

[@juliebraden6911]

Chill out. You're listening to her songs, not getting married to her

[@42apprentice]

I love this song, but Sadness As A Gift is one of the best songs I’ve heard in my lifetime and I’m old.

[@f4gsforpele]

Sadness As A Gift is phenomenal. My fav on the new album.

[@user-ro9lu7uo1j]

Sadness is fantastic, but this song TOWERS over the rest of the record. It's an almost impossibly perfect song.

[@juliebraden6911]

​@@user-ro9lu7uo1jever heard of personal opinions? Sometimes people think differently than you do. It will be ok, sweetheart.

[@SpoookiePoookie]

​@@user-ro9lu7uo1j I feel the same way about this song, I'm stunned by how good it is

[@martygould5114]

I saw her when she was an opening act touring on her first album with her band Big Thief. I bought the lp at the booth and she and 2 of her bandmates autographed it. Good people.

[@garyives1218]

Buck Meeks albums are great as well. Been fortunate to have seen him twice........and yeah, really approachable and down to earth. Great shows!

[@chrisg-pj6cs]

She will be remembered as one of our generation’s great songwriters

[@bluesnoopz]

Yes her, and Sufjan too

[@elusivemoon33]

As a cancer myself, Adrienne’s music really speaks to me on a level that I can’t express in words.

[@johnminoia7153]

The real deal- her guitar parts are sometimes so intricate/beautiful I forget she’s the one person playing it. She’s not really afraid of open tunings- reminds me a little of Joni in that way. She is just a wonderful musician

[@juliebraden6911]

Joni lmao first name basis, how special.

[@ParhelionMedia]

Beautiful song. She and Twain are both generational songwriters of the highest caliber - do yourself a favor and listen to more of their work.

[@dkes53]

Love the subtle lyric change from the studio version.. there’s a guy on the nape of my neck that hangs out there all day, he quantifies my every thought and he tells me not to play.. then he tells WHAT to play. So is it the angel or devil she’s instruction from? lol amazing…

[@johnhodgetts2111]

She is a breath of fresh air-and her political stance on the ongoing genocide is also spot on. Love the acoustic recordings she did in the trailer a while ago. Great lyrics, and her big thief stuff is excellent too.

[@reconmonkey7]

Damn, I never would have thought I'd see her on the Jimmy Kimmel Show. What a wonderful surprise! She's so freaking good, omg!

[@lashendawest7509]

We love adrianne lenker

[@nerolilaine9973]

Yes we do

[@whysosour935]

i love the translation lolll “links”

[@Ja-xs6ve]

she's really talented and speaks from the heart. I love her

[@warmgoblin]

Her songwriting ability is so gut-wrenchingly beautiful and raw in the best way! Love u Adrianne!

[@AndresLatinFolkParade]

What a sweet and beautiful voice, her recent album is monumental and magical, she is an artist

[@allyson--]

The Adrianne Lenker & Mat Davidson duo live...

[@oliviabarry3140]

ESPECIALLY MAT!!!! IM SO HAPPY FOR HIM BUT ALSO FOR BOTH

[@allyson--]

Mat Davidson releases music under the name "Twain" btw..

[@oneshoej3]

Their voices go really well together

[@melisatel]

Her eyesss✨💗

[@CharlesGwinn-ep9pb]

Im old school(59) and aside from the rare performance from a band from yesteryear(including rhe Foos), this is only act that I desire to hear more of!End of sentence

[@Boogalyhu]

More good music is out there if you care to look 👍🏽

[@talkshitko9234]

Arianna lenker- TinyDesk(Home) Concert.

[@freetreasure]

Adrianne's songs bring me such peace and have felt like a friend to me for the last couple of years. So glad to see her music reaching a wider audience :)

[@smitch007]

Beautiful ❤… not my average genre, but the lyrics & melody stole my heart at first sound 💞

[@meep3709]

Absolutely stunning. Pure. A talent for this generation and every generation to come.

[@martalli]

Thanks for bringing such an amazing artist in front of so many people. The songs on this album are deeply moving.

[@DynamicProductions.]

Probably the best song of the year so far, I’d say. Absolutely fantastic.

[@dividedbyxir0]

I've been a fan of Big Thief for a while, but I'm just now diving into Adrianne's solo back-catalog. One of my absolute favorite songwriters!

[@BJB1122]

This whole album takes you into a world of memories and Magick ❤

[@wellsaidgoodheadfred9843]

Definitely the most talented female songwriter out right now. She's so good.

[@talkshitko9234]

Not gonna argue, Julia jaklin is good to

[@James-ke4gq]

I’d say songwriter out there right now in general These songs are on par with the best songcraft of the 60s and 70s

[@matthewchallis8094]

So so beautiful. I adore that voice. Can't wait for the new album.

[@dlanodrelda]

Im reminded of Eliott Smith w its purity

[@lukelarsson]

I really hope his casual viewers can appreciate what they just saw and dig into Lenker’s discography.

[@deepintomusic]

wonderful person, wonderful band with big thief, wonderful ever ! such harmony, serenity and inner peace , I m so grateful she IS.

[@michaelbuckner9846]

This is what I hoped she would do ever since I saw Big Thief in Buffalo with Nada Surf years ago. She has come a long way.

[@CharlesGwinn-ep9pb]

She has a Cobain melancholy/sad/beautiful style of writing.

[@stijnvereecken3253]

my favourite songwriter !!!

[@davidstein9129]

OMG ..What a voice..It's so pure and so fragile. Both!

[@jayannawhyte]

[@blakesutton6371]

Shout out Mat Davidson!! If you like this check out his music. The album Rare Feeling is magical

[@Padraic-uq3sh]

Having listened to the new album over and over for the past few weeks and occasionally singing along to especially this song in falsetto, made me realize I would really love to hear Adrianne collaborate with Justin Vernon. I think their voices would match each other very well

[@claraclonk]

i second this!!

[@ReadingRambo152]

I remember seeing her perform at a small cafe called the Radiobean, in Burlington VT. She was absolutely captivating.

[@tinavogel7966]

I could watch and listen to her forever ❤

[@nias3202]

Very beautiful song ❤

[@jonasgustaf]

Now THIS is what's up. A songwriter performing her songs 100% live in TV. What a joy to see.

[@whitelighttrainwreck3021]

Beautiful! I'm a new fan.

[@hillmadaris]

Listen to Certainty by Big Thief, she's great in that too. Also Change and Vampire Empire are good songs by her and Big Thief.

[@Jholsombeck]

Listen to her last LP (Songs) and all 5 big thief albums. Best songwriter alive today.

[@talkshitko9234]

Listen to her home concerts for both KEXP and Tiny Desk concerts.

My favourites are her home concerts she did for kexp and Tiny Desk

This is great music.

[@albertlebron4885]

She changes up the lyrics about the guy sitting on the nape of her neck. In this live version he shows her what to play..

[@Swanka]

Gorgeousness. I seem to have something in my eye.

[@user-ro9lu7uo1j]

I'd just like to thank Ms. Lenker for channeling the great John Prine long enough to let him write this song through her. From the pattern she's strumming to every word she sings, never have I heard a more Prinean song other than the ones the man himself wrote.

[@JackCerro]

She never recorded this one, but it is right in Prine's wheelhouse. Once a Bunch - Big Thief - Live in Garden Grove 8/21/2021

[@user-ro9lu7uo1j]

@@JackCerro Totally. I'd heard that one once a couple years ago, but your post made me look it up again. What a song.

[@ts-wo6pp]

That's it exactly. Dad playing prine CD's in the truck is what made me "get" music for the first time. Big thief & Adrianne's solo stuff is the only music I can think of that's great in the same way prine was.
