Big Thief - Spud Infinity (Official Audio)

[@snarkysnoo]

I like this girl Malina who sits next to me in class. She is from Iowa and I am from Ohio. She told me this is her favorite band, so if course I'm going to listen to the songs to let her know I care. She said this band changed her life and even made her spiritual. So good job I guess guys.

[@molls7535]

update us on Malina!!!

[@lichenmossflower3882]

To me these are some of the most spiritually perceptive, philosophically profound, and soul-touching lyrics I’ve heard this year. Her songwriting makes me proud of humanity, no cap.

[@marthson4235]

This one caught me so off guard. Not something I expected Big Thief to do and I absolutely love it. This album is going to be amazing!

[@friendship6668]

It's a big fan fav at their live shows Eve prior to covid

[@marthson4235]

@@friendship6668 I’ve never been able to see them before. Can’t wait to change that in April.

[@songsthatarecatchy]

I was surprised as well. Pleasantly though.

[@MrCobrien1212]

"a dozen dimes will buy a crust of Garlic Bread" is the most John Prine sounding lyric by anybody not named John Prine. If he's ego wasn't gone, he'd probably be jealous he didn't write that line.

[@jimmyherring7163]

Very jp!

[@nathanwilliamsmusic1746]

I love how Big Thief can add so much fun and humour into their songs whilst still maintaining their melodical and lyrical genius. "Kiss your body up and down other than your elbows Cause as for your elbows they’re on their own Wandering like a rolling stone Rubbing up against the edges of experience "

[@jessa1299]

lyric genius

[@greatleapforwards]

While at the same writing songs that dig deep into your emotions

[@obrey__]

I don’t get the elbow lyric. Is that a stone’s reference?

[@JimDangerZone]

Never heard of Big Thief before, but heard this song on the radio on my car (shocked to hear anything Good on the radio) and love it. Plan to buy the CD. I'm a songwriter myself, and a tough audience. This is Magnificent in every way.

[@songsthatarecatchy]

Yeah dude. I also like "when I took another look, The past was not a history book. That was just some linear perception"

[@mateodavid1988]

This song almost had me in tears while i was washing my dishes lol

[@jimchadwick2738]

It's really rare that I fall in love with an album on first listen. But here we are. I've been having kind of a crappy week and this is bringing me some genuine joy. Also, some of the lyrics are making me laugh...in a very good way.

[@higgaroc]

Just hearing this band for the first time today and feel the same. I hope you’re doing better than you were when you wrote your comment.

[@queencass9127]

Okay Big Thief…….. this awakens every cell in my body. Makes me want to cry. I’m withholding tears as eye type this, eyes itching to leak. Thank you. My daughter is almost two and eye will forALLways show her this song. Thank y’all from NOW!

[@sweetpeabee4983]

I am grinning ear to ear. This is so cheeky and fun, and I love it. I knew the minute that fiddle started that this was gonna really be something. The universe really does run on surprise, huh? Keep on trucking, Big Thief! 🧡

[@waltmorphling4781]

I'd like to thank my friend for introducing me to this band. We just saw them last night in Oakland and this was their encore. I haven't felt this excited for music in a very long time. Maybe when I saw Elliot Smith in 96 comes the closest.

[@ffwlpe]

"When I say celestial I mean extraterrestrial I mean accepting the alien you've rejected in your own heart When I say heart, I mean finish The last one there is a potato knish Baking too long in the sun of Spud Infinity When I say infinity, I mean now Kiss the one you are right now Kiss your body up and down, other than your elbows 'Cause as for your elbows, they're on their own Wandering like a rolling stone Rubbing up against the edges of experience" probably my favorite verse of the year ♡ always makes me smile

[@AndrewPolakow]

Truly. I had an awesome moment on mushrooms like 10 years ago with my friend. We joked about how noble the potato peelers are. Always peeling potatoes for all of time and we started chanting "infinity potato" When this song came out I realized that "Infinity Potato" is truly a universal concept. Love Big Thief.

[@ZoetropeTony]

@@AndrewPolakowSo you guys literally came up with the concept for this song! That’s wicked haha

[@AndrewPolakow]

We each gotta a piece of that travelin' tuber. It's probably still out their unraveling!

[@andymcgowan7384]

Big Thief are one of few bands that can have me crying listening to one song then laughing listening to another song two tracks later. Fucking impeccable as always, I love you guys so much it's probably unhealthy.

[@dkes53]

This song makes me unreasonably happy and optimistic. Keep it fucking coming, we all deserve a little slice of heaven in our lives.

[@shinybeast8946]

"Everbody knows how to dance, even with just one finger." I love that line.

[@strumbadstroller7350]

Impossible to listen to this & not smile......so looking forward to seeing them again in a few weeks.

[@swizzili4309]

What's it gonna take? What's it gonna take? What's it gonna take? To free the celestial body? From way up there it looks so small From way down here it looks so small One peculiar organism aren't we all together? Everybody steps on ants Everybody eats the plants Everybody knows to dance even with just one finger What's it gonna take? What's it gonna take? What's it gonna take? To free the celestial body? When I took another look The past was not a history book That was just some linear perception Ash to ask and dust to dusk A dime a dozen aren't we just? But a dozen dimes will buy a crust of garlic bread What's it gonna take? What's it gonna take? What's it gonna take? To free the celestial body? When I say celestial I mean extra-terrestrial I mean accepting the alien you've rejected in your own heart When I say heart I mean finish The last one there is a potato knish Baking too long in the sun of spud infinity When I say infinity, I mean now Kiss the one you are right now Kiss your body up and down other than your elbows 'Cause as for your elbows, they're on their own Wandering like a rolling stone Rubbing up against the edges of experience What's it gonna take? What's it gonna take? What's it gonna take? What's it gonna take? To free the celestial body?

[@azekielharness]

DNWMIBIY is def gonna be 10/10 album!!!

[@xlz24]

Fact check: true.

[@coaster123x7]

Been out for a while now. Yeah it’s a 10/10 in my book

[@ffwlpe]

*turns out it actually is :)*

[@EstherMorijah]

Can confirm from 2023

[@formercanadiancitizen4756]

Just discovered my new favourite band and I’m glad I’m late to the show, got all that good music to catch up on ;)

[@Estbarul]

big thief keeps getting better and better

[@bradspectacular]

Probably my favorite song from Dragon New Warm Mountain. I got this one on constant repeat.

[@matthewlyons929]

I think this is a hit!, well thought of lyrics, & a catchy tune. I just recently stumbled onto this group, so , I’m a new fan. The female songwriter has a likeness in sound & creativity as Joan Baez. Well done.

[@mayhembunz8888]

Big Thief forever ♾

[@GeorgeCilley]

Loved seeing this live this year and so glad it made it to the new album!

[@treebendsinthewind]

Agreed, was incredible live, thought i just overlooked this one but nawp, it's a new song!

[@jctradeshowjoe1]

Kmmm... while paying bills and listening to DJ Cari's playlist on "Unsufferable", a radio show archived on WRUW 91.1 in CLE. Had to look up on You Tube and give her another good listen. Just good clean fun with the old folky sound of Jew's Harp, revolutianary drum snare and violin. Good and "Grassy" style of folk. Great voices too.

[@noahsabadish3812]

absolutely love the lyrics and singing.

[@willowufgood261]

The drums sound terrific

[@noemiferreira3664]

Instant classic!

[@Shaun-Doggy]

Im in love with this song. Found myself doing a lot of Conor Oberst while singing it.

[@JohnDoe-zc1tp]

My new favorite song !!! Thanks Big Thief !!!!

[@Aldonek100]

Cudowne wykonanie, głos, muzyka. Uwielbiam taką ❤️

[@NivedStudios]

here before it goes down in history as a classic

[@itdenelll]

If the album cover was a song this is the song

[@Pj676]

[@paronzoda]

Thank You Big Thief for standing up for justice and the oppressed.

[@nealforreal]

HOLD UP I just noticed an otter appears at 4:20 I have not seen this in any of the other videos...what does it mean??

[@rolphy4338]

Someone asked the fire to be a little ‘otter, and so he appears 😂

[@etamommy]

ridiculous and sublime! Wholly original and great!

[@cosmia9534]

Been waiting so long for this one!!! This is just fantastic, thank you

[@Gnif572]

What would I give to be a fly on the wall while they were discussing this song lol

[@xryxix]

Wow this is nice, very cool and chill to hear. Love the throwback sound. Fits y'all well

[@skolarsacre]

travelled 10hours to see them play on friday night at o2 in Sheperd's Bush. they played this song, but faster. theres such an urgency to this song. genuine music that has an emotional hit i can't avoid, every listen speaks to the heart

You've gotta learn to accept the alien you've rejected in your own heart, ya'll.

[@crod2312]

This song is amazing!!!

[@joeagger]

brilliant! certain parts remind me of something off of Thank God for Mental Illness

[@foreverelsie7933]

This song is goofy ah and my ballet teacher plays it during ballet 😭

[@theferretgoddess]

imo doing ballet is goofier than big thief 💀

[@nicolesteiner3172]

I need this to be a music video where the lead singer is a cartoon frog hopping to the beat

Ooooh sweet child o mineee

Big Thief are now playing hillbilly music on acid and I'm here for it.

I've seen Adrianne play this twice, listened to whatever live version I could find many times over, and couldn't wait for the studio version to drop. I still love it ... but can't stand the boinging noise throughout?? It would hands down be one of my favorite Big Thief songs if it wasn't there

[@testadura]

@james Doctor some are moving away from the term Jew’s harp as it has nothing to do with Jewish culture/ music - hence some use Jaws harp or mouth organ etc - musicologist go off the deep end on the origin of the name from a French English misunderstanding - hoping we can settle on a single better term going forward.

[@elyellowbear716]

​well, you can also call it jaw's arp or mouth arp, which i find to be much better terms
