agree so much...sacrelige for some but she is joni mitchell to me where joni was pure abstract and painted loved unresolved tormented tones adriennes writing to me is pulitzer prize level stuff. I can listen to solo songs and big thief and say this is one of my favorites about 35 songs I swear : ) Tough to keep up shes relentless

@ddude1212 11 ай бұрын

just a small observation, but with adrianne's lyrics it's the small details that are the most poignant. the way that over the course of the song the chorus changes from "you could write me someday and i think you will" to "i bet you will" and finally "i hope you will" just fucking destroys me every time

I was with this girl for a while, I've never loved anyone like I loved her. This song reminds me of her so much. We both know that theres nothing left to say. I still hope she "writes me" (texts), I was so sure she'd come back again, as the song progresses adrianne seems less and less certain that this person will write her, which is exactly how I feel. After a week without her I'm all like "yeah I think she's gonna be back", now it's been 6 months, and I hope she writes.

Occasionally there will be a song that comes along in your life where you stop everything you are doing and you just listen. Today that happened to me with Sadness As A Gift, and wow. This song goes straight to the heart and this takes me back to a place i havent been in ages, but in a good way! It doesnt make me sad anymore, it makes me hopeful that the people who were in my life who arent anymore are doing okay and thats okay! Thank you...

Can't believe I caught this video 38 minutes ago, I'm so lucky to have found Lenker . Her music has moved me in the way no artist has in a while . Waking up is usually so extraneous & painful, but seeing this video in my reccomended moments after turning off my alarm made it feel good . I smiled after waking up, instead of lazing around depressively because I found this song . I think I'll have a good day today . Thank you Adrienne Lenker .

I live in South America but listen to Adrianne when I need to reimmerse myself in the feelings, turmoil of my nomadic young adult years in the midwest U.S. Her work is more than poetry of great heights--it's homebound, no matter which way.

I know this song is probably about an ex partner, but it reminds me of my cousin. I miss him. It's been years since we've seen each other, but my last memory of his youthful smiling face and scratchy voice, all still remains. It's noticeably more quiet without him and his siblings, all those missed birthdays and holidays, their unreceived presents used to be piled up at my grandma's house. He was my best friend. Recently, I saw a picture of his graduation, and I was heartbroken. Not only because I missed one of the most important moments that we used to talk about experiencing together, but also because I couldn't recognize him at all. When I looked at the picture, I couldn't find any traces of that boy I loved. I saw a man in his place, someone older and bigger and unfamiliar and different, who I'll never get the chance to meet. I want to get to know the new version of him, but I'm scared. People change all the time, that's nothing new. And yet, while everyone around me changed and grew up, it's like I didn't. I feel stuck. I feel as though my growth was stunted, and I'll forever be that thirteen year old girl who wonders why her favorite cousin can't talk to her anymore. I think a part of me will always be that girl, waiting and longing, for anything. A letter, a text message, a call. Any sign that I've been on his mind just as much as he has been on mine, and that he hasn't forgotten about me. It doesn't even have to an explanation or an apology, I just want to know if he's okay.
