“All my life I thought I’d change” hits so hard like- I know sis.

[@jrw1524]

Damn... came here to say this

[@danis7070]

I love how she just totally describes my experience of realising that I was in love with a woman so effortlessly and accurately

[@tracyjohnson9198]

Yes. Such pain and pleasure knowing I was in love with my friend. But alas.....

[@taunicheree]

So its not about... a sister...? lol

[@honeyglisten]

​@@taunichereeshe doesn't have a sister lmao

[@sks4hpd]

"All my life I thought I'd change".. its such a pleasure to listen to this song

[@elaborator]

a lil Fleetwoodmaction!

[@yasservayani7269]

I spent the whole of Sunday, 15th November 2020 listening to Angel Olsen... its was a great day!

[@Demitrival]

I love that!

[@russelllamb7549]

I will always support Angel. She is proof that we have contemporary artists fit to become legends. Woman of my heart!

[@breehaskell45]

This is honestly just one of the best songs ever written "All this blessing was a curse, before I opened up my heart"

[@jj80808]

Agreed!

[@jrw1524]

Yes girl omg chills

[@gracecamaxtli7090]

It's really a mystery how anyone could break this girl's heart

[@AdamSpade]

It was me.

[@tas6029]

Probably one of the best songs ever written

[@honeyglisten]

After she came out as gay I really have a different feeling listening to this. It's like she was really torn between the two. Especially with the line "all my life I thought I'd change" 😭 makes me more emotional ❤️

[@Mark.mp3]

I never thought about it that way. The lyrics of this song perfectly describe the feeling of being queer 😔💛

[@cecilia1171]

WHAT???? SHE IS WHAT??? you are going to gime me the best news of my life if she is

[@honeyglisten]

@@cecilia1171 she is!! She posted about it on her Insta. Her partner uses they/them pronouns ☺️

[@cecilia1171]

@@honeyglisten I.started crying. As a lesbian woman who has been listening to her music for 2 years now this is something that makes me so happy to know.

[@SiretEster]

I saw it in her eyes All it wasn't what she said She came together like a dream That I didn't know I had From the sleeping life I lead All the colours I've seen I can't help but recognize The brighter one in front of me Oh the truth I thought I learned And then it finally came along Turned around and then it's there All the love I thought was gone I want to know you I want to show you I want to be there I want to see her Piece us together Know it's forever Show me the future Tell me you'll be there I want to go where Nobody knows fear I want to follow My heart down that wild road Everywhere I go I can see your face Alive and gone at once Hey, it's the way I see this place And though this blessing was a curse Before I opened up my heart You learn to take it as it comes You fall together, fall apart I want to know you I want to show you I want to be there I want to see her Live it through your eyes Piece us together Know that this wild road Will go on forever I want to live life I want to die right Next to you All my life I thought I'd change

[@voonta8599]

💙

[@maryjanestarr7900]

I love it to hits.

[@jonathanlee8930]

I had an out of body experience when she and the Big Time Band performed this in Durham on Saturday, especially during the guitar solo towards the end. These are the sort of musical experiences I live for.

[@Pr0bablyVic]

Something so deeply resonates with every unbound sincere emotion in this heartbreakingly beautiful song, in its most fragile, most vulnerable moment it can be just as crushingly painful as much as almost spiritually liberating. Although late to discovering the sheer magic of, Angel Olson, everything by her I've heard shimmers with glittering hope, as much scalds with such shattering, personable pain. Sister, a song that has and can have endless interpretations, to me, is the perfect ode to that harrowing silence between those ever effacing moments of unfiltered, raw realization of where lies truly your reason to live, what/who you can really never stop craving for.... As time goes on, as you learn to act mature, and life grinds you down, it's just those few fleeting effacive moments you fill up on some will to live when you look without holding back at what/who you're running away from. Even for the briefest time, it makes everything worth suffering for, every price worth paying.. On every consecutive listen, something more or different emerges from getting submerged in the poignant landscape of this sublime artistic work, wrapped in its many emotional layers are experiences that feel so real whether lived or not... :)

[@jrw1524]

Beautifully said

[@Pr0bablyVic]

@@jrw1524 thanks!

[@f.ence.]

If someone told me I could only listen to one song for the rest of my life, I think it'd be this one.

[@denverpotts3928]

what about heart shaped face

[@dominicaaaaa5547]

So many great songs on the album I think

[@ilovemydog2299]

I love how watching her music videos feels like you're viewing a very intimate part of her soul. Her emotions are raw and you glimpse a bit of her personality and it's addicting

[@BTVS666]

Somebody please help me. I just can't stop listening to this song over and over again.

[@albertsosa4333]

I’m convinced Angel Olsen is the reincarnation of a Goddess who graces the world with her voice and presence.

[@ChristianAllen904]

We rly need to protecc her at all costs

[@tristessa119]

How do I live in a world where not every human knows she’s already iconic

[@bretthernan7589]

I hope Angel Olsen decides to act in films one day.

[@tylercarlson4571]

dang it I wish this beautiful human being knew how much her fans loved her

[@nikkilewisceramics8875]

Transformative song, tears falling out of eyes on the last half. Im on this journey with you Ms Olsen.

[@jetskihernia]

The progression of this song is amazing. You've done it again, Angel.

[@yaolin6014]

My favorite song from Angel Olsen and how lucky am I that this song is 8 minutes

[@Heisenberg_0721]

This music never disappoints me. I've been listening to music for 3 hours, and I chose you to finish my session. The progression of this music is just a piece of art. And the ending, 6:01 , literally gives me goosebumps. From head to toes. You are a F* beast! 👏🏻

[@stevelogan895]

I've had her new album on high rotation for the last two weeks, and the vibe reminds me of The Velvet Underground - Mazzy Star - and even Fleetwood Mac!. There's even some dream pop on it - got to say my fav album of this year. So depressed about David Bowie dying, and along comes Angel to heal. Love the way it's in two halves - with the more restrained music at the end, an old Bowie trick.

[@widM_]

you pretty much summed up all my thoughts.

[@aka0709]

I'll take that :)

[@ramzi60jbr]

Damn this song nudged me from casual to committed fan. Buying this album. With money.

[@brrnay]

as opposed to chewed gum and number two pencils?

[@knitchywa]

💘

[@bernardusmuller1109]

I think the meaning of the song is that you must be happy with who you are now, you are going to change but you are also perfect now at this moment.

[@vellitaful]

Amazing point of view, you're absolutely right. Sometimes you live your life fighting your own, trying to be somebody else...

[@cooper712]

The part where she just lets loose on the guitar is absolute bliss

[@dominicaaaaa5547]

Hmm I was wondering if she played guitar on this one checked Wikipedia and it says vocals but nothing about guitar ..but then no other musicians are listed there at all so maybe she plays everything?

[@dominicaaaaa5547]

10 out of 10 song though and I hardly rate anything a 10

[@dominicaaaaa5547]

@elle 👽 well sounds great either way

[@thestoneyside]

This may be Angel's best album yet and that is saying something. I can't wait.

[@sleepyhead3432]

it is

[@TheKevlar4]

It is. It's amazing. One of the best albums of the year.

[@lovelyrita2789]

check out Globelamp - The Orange Glow

[@veridisquofg]

I've heart it. It is good, some tracks stand out. But IMO it isn't the best one

[@tomroberts5805]

That is of course purely opinion! My personal favourite will always be halfway home

[@드림캐쳐111]

This is such a great and beautiful song💕🌙💋

[@TKillDomLuizCataleya]

cant tell u how many times ive watched this.............. everytime it males emotional...............her power..

[@wildmercuryfilms]

*females* emotional

[@hestonblumenthal4263]

Her smile at the end makes me so happy

[@gwakon]

LOVE THAT LAURA PALMER SMILE.

[@leahcotton5315]

This song is magical.

[@brajandzoganovic8565]

I missed this kind of music in 2016. That guitar solo restored my faith in music.

[@am_pm.17]

This kind of music became quite widespread in 2016, and since then it's grown further. Lovely stuff.

[@brajandzoganovic8565]

This song came to be my song of the decade. The crescendoing instrumental, the final release with the above mentioned solo peaks as the lyrical momentum is built upon self realisations. Thank you Angel Olsen for creating this masterpiece.

[@mcblahflooper94]

This song has a very strange... nervous calmness to it. Like someone calming themselves down after an emotional breakdown.

[@JackieJustice]

That was explained perfectly

[@thatsockwrd8285]

Spot on.

Great analysis

[@unreciever_]

her voice is so unique and pretty

[@clairecherie5656]

this is what heartbreak sounds like and I can’t stop

[@AS-ov4fh]

So I’m a huge Hendrix, Rush, Band Maid, Heart fan. Your music is really beautiful. Your voice has some really deep soul. I just checked my Ticketmaster app and I don’t see you coming to the DC area. Please do…you are extremely beautiful and I would love to just hear your voice for a few hours live. Thank you

[@youlostmeatsfork]

If it moves you to tears, you know its something special. LOVE HER

[@derekamos3725]

the first three mins im thinking mmm ok this is nice. then somewhere between 3:00-4:00 she takes it somewhere heavenly. she transforms the nice into the gorgeous.

[@obiwon9]

Moi Aussi!!!

[@MrMonikerjay]

Finally some good music from a real artist.

[@danielsaredi]

Not only is the song and lyrics pure pefection,.. the movie maker simply is on another level!!! Great DoF, cuts and a amazing sense for detail!! I salute you and hope you are doing well!!

[@SpreadingMySeed]

I love how in all her videos Angel laughs at some point when having to act morose or fixed in thought

[@ericn1450]

I agree, it really humanizes her. She is pretty charismatic as it is though.

[@emilianovillanueva6791]

My God! I already thought this movie was beautiful without watching the video, but now I think it is just perfect. The photography is so neutral to look at and Angel makes this video great every time she appears on screen

[@shanehollingsworth2722]

I'm not crying, YOU'RE CRYING 😢😢

You're right. I am crying.

This is such a beautiful song, audibly and emotionally, thank you.

[@modarXmodar]

This song is brilliant!!!!!!!! !! I'm obsessed with "Intern" and this one seems to be my next obsession :)

[@f.ence.]

You'll move onto "Woman" soon, or at least I did.

[@danielsaredi]

Same

[@mintynovember8458]

'Not gonna kill you', that's the one. Nothing else comes close to that.

[@modarXmodar]

I love the whole album, I listened to it more than any other album this year

[@polarbearfelly]

Intern is such a mesmeric song!

[@big120treez]

💜 Self Actualization 💜 I struggled to put into words what these lyrics meant to me then I pulled them up on Lyrics Genius and the description it starts off with is a perfect narrative for a large part of my life. The more I get to know myself the more I wish I had shown the world more of me, more often, because I Fn rock. 😎😉💜💋 Love how music and writing creates this outlet. Be You & Love You!

[@jamoralp]

This just has to be easily her best song. So many emotions here... always makes me cry

This so Fleetwood Mac! I love it x

[@daddyo70056]

Funny you say that. She's always reminded me not of Stevie Nicks, but rather Christine McVie.

[@gwynnielsen5081]

I just discovered Angel today and have been going through her songs. There is something so totally hypnotic about her vocal style. Kinda of like the female version of Chris Isaak.

[@olivianaab6363]

I really love that you included the two guys who were like "are you shooting a music video???"

[@danielcallaghan3029]

The smile

[@katiemckay]

A little yes... the style maybe

[@joshliam1967]

One of the best songwriters in the world right now.

[@mikebuchanan8647]

The bass line on this has a very Fleetwood Mac - Dreams vibe. I wonder if this song was partially borne from her Dreams cover?

[@cmerenuge]

yeah, i can see what you mean

[@lindsayjee]

I thought the exact same thing!

[@aquaria182]

As a homo myself, when I learned of it, I SO hoped it was just a phase she was getting out of her system. I’d give my left tit to be straight.

[@johnhardesty3167]

God, thank you, I found this gal's voice through the grimoire of decadence, she's incredible, her voice is between an Enochian Angel, and a murdered heart raptured in guilt! I hope to see her in Louisville, Kentucky, December 10!
