I want flatlands I never cared about money and all its friends I want flatlands I want flatlands I don't want precious stones I never cared about anything you've ever owned I want flatlands I want simplicity I need your arms wrapped hard around me I want open plains and scattered trees I want flower fields I want salty seas I want flatlands soft and steady breeze Bringing scents of lined-up orchard trees Dripping heavy with pears and dancing leaves I want flatlands Will you go there with me When it's said in the dark and you know it's always there When it's dead in our heart but your mind is unafraid When it's said in the dark and you know it's never coming back When it's there in your heart in your mind you set it free

[@Epitaphforyesterday]

this is a lovely, lovely song. the lyrics put it over the top. the criticisms on the minimal chord usage.. go ahead, show us what you've written that ties music and vocals together so starkly and effectively.

[@heraclitus4884]

The song is also about how she just wants the comfort of simplicity so it's quite fitting.

[@SashaPesic]

Complexity for the sake of complexity itself is boring. This is perfect.

[@niclas9881]

To make a simple song good is harder compared to making it more complex

[@deadbird1229]

Her father is a country musician, and you can tell that that's the kind of tradition she learned to play guitar in-hence the simple chord progressions and fingerpicking.

[@skymorgan3433]

Who is her father?

[@mlszeliga]

This is possibly her most beautiful song. Literally brings tears to my eyes sometimes. Some music is best when it's kept simple.

[@johnhoneck2973]

"sometimes"???

[@MoiraRussell]

She sounds like a siren in a dream.

[@alihandemiral7049]

i shed a tear to this comment. Spot on.

[@duewhit310]

And shes so adorable!

[@saturnoguildestern1124]

This is exact ---

[@mlszeliga]

Agreed

[@soundtrack1991]

Love how she replaces "I don't care with" "I don't give a fuck."

[@dreadthelight3936]

I don't. I think it makes the song sound uncharacteristically aggressive imo.

[@fullmoonsociety7463]

This is my favorite song of all time. I will die to this song.

[@jessicapreston9808]

For those who want to learn this- she is in standard D tuning- and just watch her fingers. You should be able to figure it out! Ultimate guitar also has the tabs if you get stuck 😊

[@majordelilah]

it’s so fun to play, once you get the fingerpicking right it’s pretty easy. also a great way to callus up your middle finger lol

[@gabrielfacn]

I want flatlands I dont give a fuck about money and all its friends I want flatlands I want flatlands I don't want precious stones I dont give a fuck about anything you've ever owned I want flatlands I want simplicity I need your arms wrapped hard around me I want open plains and scattered trees I want flower fields I want salty seas I want flatlands soft and steady breeze bringing scents of lined-up orchard trees dripping heavy with pears and dancing leaves I want flatlands will you go there with me When it's said in the dark and you know it's always there when it's dead in our heart and your mind is unafraid when it's said in the dark and you know it's never coming back when it's there in your heart in your mind you set it free

[@CelestialGalaxy7]

This explicit version should exist on an album. We deserve it.

[@Kapila]

I don't give no fuck about anything you've ever owned.

[@MrDudestein]

"I need your arms wrapped hard around me." Wouldn't that be nice...

[@1KevinsFamousChili1]

sounds EXACTLY like the album just without the reverb on her voice. Such a talented artist

[@davidgick3981]

This simple performance still touches my heart after numerous viewings.

[@mat11trick]

Here because of Mark

[@FawazK]

I struggle with mental illness and wishing for that perfect life, you know, the one that humans chase for the rest of their lives, the ones that money can't buy...but I'm grateful as fuck, to the universe, maybe to God, if, that I lived in a time where this beautiful ethereal creature graced all my senses with her presence. What an exceptional artist. And artist in every sense of the word. I love you, Chelsea! you're the shit girl.

[@igordirtylounge7014]

Tanks with you Mark the wolfe. The best hits with Lanegan

[@fullmoonsociety7463]

Playing and singing this at the same time is so difficult

[@oranjeguice]

Man.. this song makes me tear up a little.

[@constanzcruz1662]

Una letra tan simple y significativa a la vez, como lo natural... Poderoso... Gracias mujer sensible 🖤

[@sdawg310]

The cursing makes it sound frustrated as opposed to longing

[@Ghrail]

Oh my God, she is so special, so amazing. I'm in love and speechless, it's perfect.

[@T_Von_Vol]

Dream, she is

[@Skad00shable]

Just found out about her. What a beautiful musician and song. Just purchased her 3 albums. Looking forward to more :)

[@exclaimdotca]

Thanks for watching. Chelsea is amazing!

[@bannedit999]

Can't believe how many times I've fallen in love watching this video.

[@IceKoldKilla]

You toured with Russian Circles? Wow! I discovered those guys when they opened for Mastodon. Amazing band! Oh and Chino from Deftones sent me.

[@AmokBR]

Looks like we listen to the same bands, lol

[@corrupted5831]

god, she's perfect...

[@HtoneFG]

Chelsea Wolfe Flatlands and Lanegan´s cover, together: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2GVdneCYsp8fc0 

[@davidbecker6670]

This is great after listening to way too much HIGH ON FIRE

[@AaronHendu]

This is one of my fav songs of all time...it speaks to me so deeply.

[@duewhit310]

And then finally i listened to the Chelsea song that dismantled me. 💔

[@ic0nify]

She's magic... love what she does...

[@Tessyrella]

I would have to say more of a female Jeff Buckley

[@slashersummer]

I come here to cry happy tears. From one 🖤 to another

[@LouveniaMusic]

Beautiful ❤

[@YoungLordz666]

I thought she said I want a lap dance

[@mikedegrazia]

I want flat legs

[@Toolship]

she blows my mind. fuck she is goood.

[@MACCURRIE1]

One of the best C to Aminor ever. So so good

[@veresta]

Anyone know what tuning she's playing in?

[@garycoates4987]

This song always makes me cry,,, this is the most raw and emotional version, beautiful

[@Ladygaga121fan]

Interesting how she is playing on a classical guitar

[@TimothyBIinks]

+Ladygaga121fan They're made for fingerpicking - easier to play, louder fuller sound than a steelstring, which is really designed for strumming and flatpicking. I'm always surprised more fingerpickers outside of classical and flamenco don't use them.

[@xxxjoeparexxx]

I would love to see the deftones cover this. Can we somehow make this happen, start a campaign or something?

[@Invisible_Difference]

Damn, another one of my favorite bands. I'll sign that petition!

[@DBASSDAN]

Why lol

[@DenizPamukçu-q8m]

Mark Lenagan did a great job

[@Battelflower4]

Beautiful Ovation and Voice!!

[@POLARIStheTRUE]

I love this video and the half sleeper vid - both solo acoustic versions and she's not made up - she's just bare and regular clothes and soooo beautiful. I would pay a lot of $$$ to see her if she ever came to Tampa, FLA (or anywhere in Georgia or Fla).

[@emblackbird]

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your heart with us Chelsea

[@IceKoldKilla]

Beautiful!

[@coffinearth6111]

This is perfect.

[@maxmueller7323]

Thanks, Chino

[@stephenorme2831]

Gorgeous song. Gorgeous woman.

[@vincents9620]

the finger picking,the guitar tone,The Voice=Perfection🖤

[@CrissySomethin97]

Her beat kinda sounds like Kansas - Dust in the wind to me lmao, anywho I love her

[@johnhoneck2973]

A jaw-droppingly beautiful song.

[@biskit460]

This is a dream.

[@MACCURRIE1]

Wow. Amazing.

[@zombieseryve]

I love how Burzum is in the related videos section. Wolfe is fantastic.

[@Invisible_Difference]

They're not in mine. Probably has to do with KZbin's algorithm recommending that for you.

[@microcosmetropolitan]

Her music reminds me somewhat of Land Of Talk and somewhat of Lykke Li...

[@graemedphillips]

Big fan of Chelsea Wolfe. Hope she comes through Toronto soon

[@norefillsplease]

such a simple song, yet it evokes such emotions

[@deftradio]

Thanks, Chino

[@JXKR444]

Omg ❤👌

[@igordirtylounge7014]

Awsome

[@LurkKlerk]

WE ARE NOT WORTHY WE ARE NOT WORTHY

[@podrido334]

me voy con ella a cualquier lado i'll go with her anywhere

[@sevlavsky3746]

Queen

[@catfishkate]

🥺💗

[@3340steve]

Standard tuning it appears to me, C major to A minor.

[@viridianloom]

lol, she put so much attitude into this song now! I was like "She looks angry" and then "I don't remember her saying fuck in this song."

[@KilltheReflection333]

Breathtaking!!!

[@TemenosL]

I'll go there with you.

[@PiotrBuczek]

If I didn't know who is singing and just heard it on the radio I'd think it must be a new PJ Harvey song... is it only me? I just started listening to her albums today, starting from the new one (thanks to Pitchfork, which gave Pain Is Beauty a high 8.0). I fell in love with her voice and diversity, but in this is song the inspiration seems pretty clear.

[@joeginn1885]

This is fire

[@moosnuckle4986]

Gaaawd!!Goosiez..Allover, Everytime

[@dkocina1]

I will go there with you.

[@JonathanDarkk]

Thumbs up if you're here for Chino!

[@Arian545]

Guys, you should watch this version watch?v=mgWb1d001FI Its the same song performed by Chelsea but with strings, it makes the song even more beautiful.

[@microcosmetropolitan]

Oh yeah you're right, that's what I must have been thinking, haha. Could have just as easily made the connection to Madonna or Joan of Ark...

[@ericmsandoval]

I love her

[@donaldsmith4986]

You sound beautiful. You give singer/songwriters with passion and talent- hope that the degradation of music hasn't touched everyone.

[@graemedphillips]

Crap. I missed her. Oh well, time to wait another two years i guess....

[@mcbassguitar9899]

yummy yummy in my tummy

[@bethscott9584]

You are excellent.

[@Tessyrella]

So beautiful
