Adrianne Lenker - Sadness as a Gift (ft. Buck Meek) - Live at Newport Folk Festival, 2024

[@morningthunder]

We had Neil Young in my generation. You youngers have this beautiful Adrianne Lenker. They speak to our souls. The wise ones listen.

i’m obsessed with the way buck plays guitar, it’s like he’s dancing around it

[@lowroad4257]

Every time I listen to this song it brings tears to my eyes. The woman is one of the best lyricists of her generation.

omg, these two singing this together -- i don't know if I can handle the feelings

[@Neutrino-0002]

they are my fav human to see on stage... and this song is just special when it's played by these two. "the seasons go so fast" always remind me of how they have been playing together for all these years (the video where they played in a park in nyc was so nostalgic), "you and I both know, there is nothing more to say, chance has shut her shining eyes and turned her face away" just make me think of how they have been thru marriage, divorce but still playing together, the sadness of everything, and their beautiful, sensitive minds to the emotions in life and talent to make such music always make me teary..

Still song of the year in my opinion

[@qpmelvin8210]

maybe even song of the decade

[@NoGlaze-y5x]

I do really love this song, playing it and listening. The theme of PATIENCE really hit home. All we need is a little patience, yall.

[@ectoplasma5]

I love their album they made together "A sides and b sides"

[@Joshphone-bo7oc]

What a gift thank you for posting

[@alanjamesnz]

Thanks so much for posting this performance. It's great! Watching this I have to think of Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings. I get the same feeling that they're serving the music and the song and the tradition

[@yellowbird2157]

Love this pair,I was crushed to hear they separated years ago,but nothing lasts forever, they say.and they'll be fine,like a amazing glass of red wine

[@anthonywallace3830]

I was as well. They make such a great team. It's great they remain so close, even in separation. Perhaps a sign of their true love for each other.
