I saw Big Thief in late 2022 in Melbourne and Adrianne opened with this song with and acoustic guitar. My dog had to be put down 2 months before that concert so I was sobbing by the end of the song. Very happy to hear it finally released. Congrats Adrianne and thank you.

This song reminded me of the time I had an incidebt with SH at school and had to be taken to the hospital. I was 15 at the time, and I was actually doing pretty good while waiting for the ambulance, until I saw my best friend (who had to get me from the bathroom to the office) crying. It all hit me just then, and I spent all of the ambulance ride worrying about what would I do when I saw my mother. Turns out the school staff hadn't told her any details, and I had to explain to her that I did it to myself. I wish I could say I remembered her face, but I do remember her tone when she asked me why. She then held my hand when they put me the anesthesia to patch me up. It kind of felt like the time my dog died when I was on kindergarten, and she held me while I cried for hours, even if she also wanted to cry. I'm sobbing now, I'm going to go hug her, even if she gets mad at me because I'm not studying for tomorrow's test.

my parents were married for 20 years, but they divorced three years ago. we had this dog, hershey, for 14 years. a month ago now my dad came to visit and the night before he left hershey’s eyes were glazed over and she looked like she was hurting so bad. we took her to the vet that night and found out she had cancer. she was so old and we’d just hurt her more if we put her through treatment so we decided to put her down. my brother begged my dad to come for about an hour until he finally caved and showed up to let her go. we all hugged her while she passed away and i saw my dad cry for the first time. that last verse is really hitting home. i miss my sweet girl.

I threw this on while going to bed and snapped to attention at, "Now 31..." And then she goes over some of my traumas at about the same ages. What the heck, man? So many of us are shaped by similar experiences. It was a zombie movie, for me. Almost all my nightmares are about zombies and dying in an apocalypse, now.

4:15 makes me feel physically ill. I was sent to a mental hospital at 12 and this part decribes the experience perfectly. My dad just yelled at me and left without even saying goodbye or a hug. My friends didnt care. But my mama was there for me the whole time. She was the only one who was.

4:19 - I was drawing while playing some albums, then this part came out and I stopped and stared at my paper. My mom was always mad when I get sent to a hospital. Always threatening to leave me with my dad. So ever since, I became afraid of looking for help. Now I’m 18, and afraid of looking for help because I feel like they would think it’s some stupid excuse.

Phil Elverum is crying in a corner, so proud of his legacy
@dakilegokiller7 ай бұрын
I bet he would wish to be 6 feet under so he could roll in his grave if he thought that this was his legacy.
@RBGRBGRBGRBG5 ай бұрын
I mean to call this his ‘legacy’ is a bit of a stretch maybe but sheesh… it’s certainly not a stretch to compare (as the OP was trying to do) this with some of his previous work and while it’s by no means Lenker’s best song, I highly doubt Elverum would take that as an insult, let alone be rolling in a hypothetical grave 😂. It sounds like you prefer Phil and that’s fine, and this song is kind of all over the place (tho I’d say you could kind of argue that’s the point) but its a worthy comparison I’d say. Simple melody, very specific, journal entry like lyrics, somber tone, fluid structure…. And I’d say they are two very different artists, but I’d also say that it works.
