Big Thief Perform “Mary” | Pitchfork Music Festival 2018

[@fredzep01]

thank god there are still artists who can move you in this way

[@plainuserid]

100%. I’m usually not focused on lyrics at all. I hear them as another instrument. The marriage between the poetry and the music is deep and powerful in this song.

[@frogyfingers]

nice malibu ken pfp

[@fredzep01]

@@frogyfingers have you heard Ases new Album? It's probably his best...

[@frogyfingers]

@@fredzep01 yesss it's so so good! amazing how even this late into his career he's still topping himself with every new release

[@juliadixon4810]

Sitting here grinning like a fool and getting teary on a dark day in the new decade. Thanks.

[@londonandres856]

a tip: watch movies on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies recently.

[@ashtonmalakai8674]

@London Andres Yea, I've been watching on flixzone} for since december myself :)

[@whatsgood8183]

I can’t even put into words how amazing this performance is and how I feel when I watch it. I’m so grateful for Adrienne Lenker’s brain. What an incredible artist.

[@wolfgangbolzlbauer3192]

well said. I feel the same, been listening to this almost every day since I first heard it a few weeks ago

[@oliviaoldham6764]

idk how it doesn't look like any of the crowd is crying. I cry every time I hear this song lol

[@oliviaoldham6764]

bawl*

[@artbonacorse3000]

I think its because she put drums and guitars, which dont combine at all

[@wenglish3998]

Love her voice......

[@wdlovesthee736]

this is my favorite version of mary - the ease, the emoting, the pick up rhythm they get me every time... i don't get how everyone is not singing along!

[@shonna_77]

this song should have like "stairway to heaven" type status imo. like, it should be the last song they play at high school dances. it is legendary, but the people don't know it.

[@wurzelaus9]

She puts so much of herself into that song that at the end i fear she is gone

[@wdlovesthee736]

She may be, then she comes right back with that smile :)

[@oscarpaxin2160]

Still the greatest thing on KZbin, absolutely incredible.

[@Montana8811]

OMG what a song. what a performance. love it so much. 😍

[@Joe-ol5bq]

pitchfork please release the entire footage of this set

[@malcolmlee2561]

Absolute genius words. Perfectly sung

[@sebastianpeskind6780]

Best version of this song

[@campaillot3915]

every time i see this band they look more and more raggedy and its fucking cool

[@Koshirozation]

songs from capacity are an emotional mountain!!!

[@Arzzz0]

Burn up with the water The floods are on the plains The planets in a rose Who knows what they contain? And my brain is like an orchestra Playing on, insane Will you love me like you loved me in the January rain? Mom and Dad and violins Sung the country silence The needle stop the kicking The clothespins on the floor And my heart is playing hide and seek Waiting, count to four Will you love me like you loved me and I'll never ask for more What did you tell me Mary When you were there so sweet and very Full of field and stars You carried all of time When heaven's when you looked at me Your eyes were like machinery Your hands were making artifacts in the corner of my mind Monastery monochrome Boom balloon machine and all Diamond rings and gutter bones Marching up some mountain With our aching planet High and smiling Cheap drink Dark and violet Full of butterflies The violent tenderness The sweetest silence The clay you find is fortified We felt some focus fade the line The sugar rush The constant hush The pushing of the water gush The marching band When April ran The June bugs flying Push your gin Jacob With the tired wiry brandy look Here you go around Mary in your famous story book We overcome the sirens We look both left and right And I can feel the numbness accompany my plight And I know someday soon I'll see you But now you're out of sight And you'll kiss me like you used to in the January night What did you tell me Mary When you were there so sweet and very Full of field and stars You carried all of time Oh when heaven's when you looked at me Your eyes were like machinery Your hands were making artifacts in the corner of my mind Monastery monochrome Boom balloon machine and all Diamond rings and gutter bones Marching up some mountain With our aching planet High and smiling Cheap drink Dark and violet Full of butterflies The violent tenderness The sweetest silence The clay you find is fortified We felt some focus fade the line The sugar rush The constant hush The pushing of the water gush The marching band When April ran The June bugs flying Push your gin Jacob With the tired wiry brandy look Here you go around Mary in your famous story book

[@PutonyourSundayBests]

the planets in rows* as in aligned. That's what I always thought. She is the best songwriter of her generation. A true genius.

[@PutonyourSundayBests]

Also it's sombre country silence. I'm not going to continue going through any further, I assume there's more mistakes. These lyrics you've done are just wrong.

[@adriannelenker1890]

@@PutonyourSundayBests it used to be "in a row" but now i always sing (and was singing here) "the planets in a rose"

[@PutonyourSundayBests]

@@adriannelenker1890 thank you for the clarification, I'm a massive fan btw! How come you changed the lyric?

[@ob2395]

Full concert please 🙏🏻

[@shtepoui]

Big Thief makes me sit down.

[@kemmethsantos2643]

The first time i heard this song ,i was having a panic attack. After I finished working 36 hours straight, im so tired i cant even sleep, it felt like im going to die if i sleep, like im sure im going to die , i started to have palpitations. Then, i tried to calm myself down and to listen to music,on some random indie music playlist on spotify, on shuffle, this song came first. And I thought, if this is the song I will be listening to before i die, nothing could be more beautiful, let me die then. I slept so well that night.

[@sophiacharlie]

You moved me, I hope you’re doing better these days, maybe my comment can be a sign to listen again

[@kemmethsantos2643]

@@sophiacharlie thanks, been better. I stopped doing 3 shifts in row since then 😆. This song has been a constant in my playlist. Im still amazed how we sometimes discover new beautiful music just at the right time.

[@clumsy_clam]

my favorite song from capacity. oh my queen....

[@iwashere368]

This song makes me weep

[@antiatheism9063]

This song is beautiful! Her tiny desk video was good too.. I'm glad I stumbled on to Big Thief.

[@kendall354]

This healed me

[@shawnhayden6674]

Adrianne Lenker destroys me with her frank and honest approach to music. I revel in her wake and I yearn for more.

[@karencao6869]

the best ever.

[@conormaguire6633]

We get the reward for great art. And the best things are really difficult. Chapeau.

[@justindavis8793]

something great also can be simple but that doesn't matter if it's don't require more details because it's almost fully formed as its coming out in a stream of consciousness that is captured like lightning in a bottle or whatever and that's not less of a masterpiece I don't think🤔🤔

[@matatmat]

always feel like the crowd are cheering for me at 3:59 whilst i'm singing along :)

[@digger5521]

This is how live music should sound, ,Raw and Edgy...A lot to like here

[@veithkilbert4253]

I can't believe Buck and Adrianne bring those guitars on tour with them! They are $5-6k guitars, the Collings I-35 and SoCo deluxe I think. Unless they only drive in vans between shows, I would never let an airline employee throw them around while loading airplanes.
