[@jessicakochanowski13]

Some music cuts and glues at the same time. Beautiful

[@TomEdwards550]

beautiful comment

[@eyeojo]

Lovely sentiment

[@SuperNellymay]

She's a woman who is truly alive and she nourishes my soul

[@NealCatastrophe]

i fell asleep with this on loop and woke up to the end notes a few hours late. i feel so capable of love

[@amymdez]

“there is a child inside you who is trying to raise a child in me”

[@kemionabule3926]

As a younger mother, this really goes to my heart. Trying to do the best for your children and feeling like a child. The way Adrienne describes the inner monologue of her mother makes me cry every time. What insight, what empathy, what beauty ❤️

[@wh023]

I think the complexity of their music is the thing I like most about them. It's so easy to do just simple, sweet sounding folk music but their songs are layered, intricate like connected bridges that aren't level.

[@blissboy3876]

They are increible and I really liked your comment.

[@creayt]

Yeah fuck you dawg it's her singing

[@PaulyM856]

EXACTLY!!! Keep it simple but put some decor on it. 😄

[@jaimeramos7065]

I heard this song for the first time smuggling illegal fireworks into the inner city driving the highway for the first time ever passing through the country side with a 6 pack of tall boys, I will never forget that day.

[@Tony-yg6bz]

I know I will cry when I hear this one live. What a band.

[@aroyds6804]

Tony Contini... Friday! Can't wait

[@DASWEDE420]

yup. same.

[@TheBloomingBoom]

But you know the way

[@KlooKloo]

I think this is the greatest live performance The Current has ever caught.

[@naurgirl]

I'm gonna scream violently because this is such a beautiful song

[@soozm8520]

I already loved this song on the album but hearing it acoustic like this I love it even more. The lyrical storytelling in this blew me away the first time I heard it ; it's rare to find a song like this with such vivid and emotional , raw storytelling. You can feel all the emotion in it and its just so beautiful in every way. And hearing it acoustic . Wow she hits every note impeccably . She has such a great control and tone . Love love love

[@maya_arden]

still crying to this 4yrs later, such a beautiful piece of art❤️

[@msyaaa222]

grew up with this band and they're still as good

[@dumpsta-divrr365]

You're still growing up!

[@kaiwistoski9858]

this is the my favourite video on KZbin, it brings me to tears instantly every time

[@salmarodriguez7571]

So mesmerizing in such a melancholic way, it almost completely soothes me while taking me through a wave of so many emotions

[@janmoritzstriemer4892]

I find this song so alarming in the most positive way ✨️

[@blissboy3876]

I have decided to only listen to their albums for a period of time so I can dwell in captivity

[@lillianmeyer2786]

Hows that going

[@blissboy3876]

@ well it was 4 years ago but I actually remember that time as something really special, all things have changed since then but it still feels the same

[@sveltland]

I've been blown away listening to everything over and over again.

[@Ghgrass111GRASS]

her music takes me to another world😍

[@craggerrs]

really incredible stuff - would have liked to see a pebble solo though

[@444han]

i’m so so in love with adrianne

[@abcdefghjjklmnop]

You can see Gods brilliance in her.

[@olive4093]

exactly exactly exactly

[@sophiemaeve8551]

Mesmerizing. Brilliant meditative vibe about it, vivid lyrics... great!

[@mattmacneil3424]

adrianne is sooo talented and beautiful

[@GeorgeOforiAtta]

Another gem. Wow, this acoustic version sounds great !!!

[@camam2010]

If it's hard for me to describe it, means that's good af

[@OiAlicia]

Beautiful. You guys are the best!

[@chickendude05]

I like the drums

[@holocenealps]

Adrianne extremamente maravilhosa...

[@josebarros1994]

Brilliant performance.

[@enriqueguerrero8670]

that was emotional

[@kojaksux]

Big Thief... Please come to Brighton. UK

[@444han]

no london!!

[@timtimtimtim83]

Geez this is beautiful.

[@421FourTwoOne]

Is James playing the rocks with cinnamon sticks?

[@dizzygee87]

Pro tip : Cinna stix sound scratchier, especially on rocks and metal thingys! ;)

[@Sunny25611]

@Alisha McVegan yes we do.. 💖✌🏽

[@williamsmith5049]

This song tickles my brain

[@robertmills3652]

you have a mythological beauty you have the eye of someone i have seen outside of ordinary situations even outside of dreams you lie in bed at night and watch the lines of headlights through your screen there is a child inside you who is trying to raise the child in me if you wanna leave you just have to say you're all caught up inside but you know the way you cut the flesh of your left thumb using your boyfriend's knife seventeen you took him home and you gave birth to your first life you gave andrew a family who you thought could love and take better care i have an older brother i don't know he could be anywhere if you wanna leave you just have to say you're all caught up inside but you know the way you're all caught up inside but you know the way rented a house in niswah, minnesota, shrapnel, and oil cans, rhubarb in the yard i built a ladder out of metal pieces father was working hard standing beneath the oak tree by the front door you were inside baking bread sister came out and put her arms around me blood gushing from my head you held me in the backseat with a dishrag soaking up blood with your eye I was just 5 and you were 27 praying don't let my baby die if you wanna leave you just have to say you're all caught up inside but you know the way you're all caught up inside but you know the way you're all caught up inside but you know the way

[@trashtvinternational]

Robert Mills why do they say CUM in the original version???

[@daisyfennec]

I love them

[@SirPhilipSidneyReal]

i was just 5 and you were 27

[@firstthoughtworstthought7112]

lol, that was a very tasteful censorship at 1:24

[@floesef]

I like the 'censored' version more tbh. The original verse always pulled me out of the beautiful melody when I hit it.

[@jakehoff52]

Mohammad Samman i always thought it was supposed to be intentionally jarring that way. Kindof a detached or disillusioned perspective comes out when its said so candidly.

[@screechingnewt7469]

I heard this song for the first time yesterday but I wasn't really paying too much attention. But I've been listening to THIS version on repeat for about 8 hours now and I would have had no idea about the difference until I went to listen to another version, so thanks for the heads up lol

[@LesAnderson]

I prefer this version.

[@soozm8520]

@@jakehoff52 I agree. I always liked how raw that line was, it fits the story and the grittiness of the experience shes telling . It's not meant to be romantic or anything .

[@leanderthal2689]

This song is soooooooo good.

[@trashtvinternational]

Lean Derthal except when she says CUM

[@abcdefghjjklmnop]

she had the perfect band.

[@killerqueend1518]

When this song is beautiful and overwhelming and you just cried.

[@ohlouda954]

i want to sob

[@tsopuaifa]

100% beautiful.

[@mdoloressuarez1159]

Beautiful

[@tolmorris]

Gorgeous.

[@NorthStarMagic_]

Lovesick memories

[@patricesoffer8341]

Very cool sounds love it

[@AxelrodDaniel]

Pure beauty.

[@preachyboy]

im so thrilled

[@Sunny25611]

Wow.. 💖

[@googleisfascist9278]

Was listening to this today and thought, “She sure does sound familiar…Adrianne Lenker? So I’m here. Funny enough I found this song the same time I found my girlfriend. Then I found Adrianne Lanker when we broke up

[@jdross1052]

beautiful...

[@seeonedoone]

Needs more cinnamon.

[@diorbratt]

i have an older brother i don’t know he could be anywhere

[@musicellaneous1909]

Oh my gosh, this is so cool!! :):):)

[@Kae6502]

Love. This.

[@boyjimbo]

Relaxing

[@mariewilson345]

I really want to learn how to play this amazing song

[@jasper374]

What stops you? Guitar part is really easy

[@sadiemoland2157]

What tuning is she in?

[@heitorphoddah13571]

album version sounds like it could be DGDGAD or DADGAD with capo on the 3rd fret

[@felix56p]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJOkppqajtprgrMsi=HUaqAogZ6mpWnoz3 she shows the tuning for it at one part of this video the tuning is D G D F# G G

[@sheapevey]

Nice find Thanks you tube. :)

[@arthurlecomte8950]

Song of 2017

[@mariewilson345]

Yassss!

[@losteyesight]

Does anybody know why they didn't play the bridge of this song? Was looking forward to it!

[@RafaelElfe]

lOve LoVE lovE

[@sophiafake-virus2456]

At some point she always looks at James because she knows he is devoted to her. Impeccable vocal. Btw does anybody know the make of the guitar Buck is playing? (it's Adrienne's)

[@soozm8520]

Are her and James dating or do you just mean devoted musically /platonically?

[@sophiafake-virus2456]

@@soozm8520 As far as I know Adrienne likes women, but it is James who admires her, and she, aware of this, always rewards him with eye contact. Musical respect and more, he knows she has greatness in her.

[@felix56p]

she looks at him to make sure he's on the mark with cues, it's needed to play in a band

[@jasper374]

What type martin is that? Sounds nice

[@cxmxg]

I want to know too!

[@jamiedavis911]

Anyone know how the guitar is tuned for this song?

[@variedthrush2793]

DADGbG (first string isn't used) with capo on the sixth fret

[@jamiedavis911]

Thanks!

Not me crying

[@laurentoiseau]

is drummer playing rocks with cinnamon sticks? there truly is no band like BIG THIEF

[@WCWfanboy]

Gran ladrón

[@jeffdavin7956]

Kurt Cobain’s female counterpart

[@makkietakkie]

Too bad there's this annoying high frequency ringing constantly in this video. Other than that, magical.

[@kevinvanleussen5879]

is the singer a guy or a girl? im sorry yall but i cant tell

[@VioletPrism]

Female it is kinda obvious tho you alright there m8?

[@kevinvanleussen5879]

ToasteeJP yeah haha was kinda confused but when ya know its obvious

[@VioletPrism]

@@kevinvanleussen5879 it's all good. Check out Orville Peck and Hand Habits/Angel Olsen if you're looking for more in a similar vein :)
