[@heather185]

I’m so sorry for your loss. Sisters share such a special bond 💙

[@patrickmorris3721]

I’m sorry for your loss. I was just trying to find. Galileo. By Declan O'Rourke Irish singer ☘️💚☘️💚🔥 Galileo fell in love as a Galilean boy And he wondered what in heaven who invented such a joy But the question got the better of his scientific mind And to his blind and dying gaze He looked up high and often sighed And sometimes cried Who puts the rainbow in the sky? Who lights the stars at night? Who dreamt up someone so divine? Someone like you and made them mine? Love can make you ask some funny questions now and then But just remember the alternatives for I remember when I was lonely and unhappy And my lips were cold as ice But you kissed me, and good heavens Now I'm here in paradise So if ever I'm not kissing you or looking in your eyes I won't be blind, and I won't cry I'll look up high and gladly sigh And thank the guy Who puts the rainbow in the sky? Who lights the stars at night? Who dreamt up someone so divine? Someone like you and made them mine? Someone like you and made them mine? kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6jQlmihqqmKjJosi=LggSvoaK24is-3E_

Serenity Prayer ❤

[@kimberlybreen6819]

I rocked my daughter to sleep every night for the first year of her life to this. She is seventeen now, and we saw Indigo girls live together a few weeks ago. When they started playing Galileo, we held each other and rocked back and forth all the way through. It was one of the most profound moments of my life.

I miss the 90’s so much. What a great decade of music

[@jimmysgarage9068]

So good.

[@BoogerwolfJones]

my mom loves this group. i always thought it was sweaty hairy armpit lesbian music but as ive grown ive found its quite intellectual and deep. i appreciate them now. theyre cool and i was too stupid to get it. their songwriting is top tier, mark knopfler level good

[@La_Ru-yg8es]

What a great decade of peace, prosperity, and Trump just being a failed, bankrupt, washed up real estate fuck.

[@somegalfromcan]

Is it just me or does this song keep getting better with time?

[@jamesgilmore7955]

I don't know about that, but it's better with wine.

[@MrIreneadler]

You think it's good now, just wait until you hear it in your next lifetime!

[@paulamorton9380]

This one and “Closer to Fine” are my favorite Indigo Girls songs. I got to see them perform back in 1987 at Manuel’s in Atlanta, before either song was released. They were just beginning to make a name for themselves, and my date and I had never even heard of them. That night it was like my world exploded. I’d never heard music so profound and beautiful, and haven’t heard anything like Amy and Emily since.

[@bobn3553]

It is nice to find diamonds in the rough like the Indigo Girls.

[@alicelovell3905]

My Favorite too. I was supposed to see them but Covid19 happened.

[@lhommedieu5489]

Nice. Wife and I saw em at Virginia Theater in Champaign....good times....

[@amandajogaddy8825]

Amen.

[@MrTwister50]

I think I might have been there that same night. My friend and I visited Atlanta to see some friends, and their band played at Manuels. These two girls that nobody seemed to know played before them and I'm pretty sure it was Indigo Girls. It's been so long ago.......

[@williamperkins2160]

I went to my first indigo girls concert because a friend had an extra ticket. It was the Rites of Passage tour. I had never heard of them before. I was hooked. During a particularly difficult era of my life the Indigo Girls music and community quite literally saved my life. I saw them 9 or 10 times over the years. It was Always a positive, uplifting experience. Today I’m a 60 year old happy, contented man. But I never would’ve made it this far without finding the music of Indigo Girls. Thank you Amy and Emily.

[@AnathemaOfAzkaban]

I was originally introduced to the Indigo Girls as a senior in high school. Two dear friends of mine were avid fans and convinced me, one cold winter night, to listen to this song. I was hooked after that. In the 13 years that have passed, we've each gone our separate ways. But every time I hear this song, it reminds me of that friendship and how much I cherished it. Remembering the three of us singing three part harmony on it and the disbelief on everyone's faces is priceless. Thank you.

[@AyeshaAhmadPhoto]

i was introduced to indigo girls in high school when four older girls harmonized on kid fears And totally blew me away ❤

[@4orrcountry]

Suggestion: Find them online so you 3 can get together, it'll be well worth it, trust me!

[@brandybagley547]

How do you mean?

[@ashleygloss2865]

This song makes me feel so connected to the human experience it causes uncontrollable tears and smiles, every time

[@divynerosehealing8546]

Same!

[@molipaul]

This song just touches chords of my soul that very few others ever have. It barely starts and the emotion (and tears) just well up uncontrollably. I learned a long time ago that this is one I have to listen to when I’m alone. 😎

[@christiemitchell7249]

Exactly the same. It reaches deep into my soul….

[@ananke23]

RIP my friend. This song came on the radio. Can't get you out of my head despite being distant for so many years.

[@lanett53stinkyowl16]

"how long til my soul gets it right" is right.

[@ck2834]

When I first heard this song, I didn't think much of it, but added it to a playlist anyway, because my mom liked it. I found it back yesterday when shuffling my playlist randomly. As soon as I heard it, I thought of long car rides out west in the mountains and over the long stretches of flat land between. It makes me want to cry for an inexplicable reason. I love it so much 😭

[@derekblayer6271]

😊

[@johnperkins-pg4xw]

For what it's worth, I really enjoy how you seem to love performing .

[@Channel-ld9ip]

FINALLY saw them in concert 8 days ago. TOTALLY worth the decades long wait! And for what it's worth- apparently, in at least one of my previous trips 'round here, I was a building. That's the only way I can reconcile my connection to them.....

[@jewfroDZak]

I laughed out loud unexpectedly the first time I heard the "king of night vision" line the first time I heard this song. It kinda comes out of nowhere, and it's at least a little bit corny, I think...Now I uncontrollably weep for 90% of the entire song every single time I play it. Hard to pinpoint a reason, I've also found. I'm no reincarnationist...I know the tears come from the cathartic feeling it arises in me. I think it's a pure unadulterated expression of the beautiful mystery of the human condition. That's my reason, I guess. I dunno. Because of the subjective nature of transcedent beauty, it's hard to define or express to anyone. You just know it when ya experience it, whatever "it" is for you personally...Anyway, thanks for enriching my life, ladies.

[@ardakolimsky7107]

Why did you laugh at _king of night vision_ ?

[@missnaomi613]

I haven't heard this song in yeeeears. And it still triggers the waterworks.

[@DJ-xj3mv]

You really hit the nail on the head with this post. For some reason I was thinking about all the songs that they used to play at my first job (a department store in the summer of '92 through '95) and this one was the 3rd or 4th one I looked up and listened to this morning. I remember us back in the stockroom making fun of the "King of night vision" line even back then. What I didn't remember....what totally caught me off guard just now was the rest of the song and the emotion it brought fourth in me 28 years later (My God where has the time gone?!). It is incredibly insightful and really a damn good song. But I am having a hard time explaining to myself just why I had to wipe my eyes and face before typing this comment!

[@jewfroDZak]

@@DJ-xj3mv right on brotha

[@theoriginaljayz28]

This had always been one of those songs that I either sit quietly & listen to, or sing at the top of my lungs. I have cried.... Closer to Fine makes me cry now that I’m older. Mom of an adult, parents dead, 11 surgeries, defeated cancer, a million losses it seems of loved ones..... it gets me. But I’m grateful I’m alive with a great hubby & son. That’s what makes me Closer to Fine.

[@serious22]

Such a bop. It still rivals anything on mainstream radio.

[@eviemcmanus8311]

Listening since I was 22. I'm 55 now. Still as true today as then. Thankyou for this song ❤️

[@johncomeau9245]

How long till my soul gets it right? I've been asking myself that question long before this song. I still haven't, but this song reminds me that's there is a deep and holy spirit in us that struggles to get it right in this crazy world. Bless all who try even if we can't get it right.

[@purpleyoshi4020]

You had to bring up reincarnation when we're drinking and now I'm having an existential crisis that turns out to be hope

Look at the youth, the enthusiasm.....on top of the world! They rocked with solid lyrics......

[@Reeseriver]

Their harmonies are brilliant. Very soothing and relaxing music. My wife and I enjoy them, but especially their harmonies. Nice music when one's having a bad day.

[@figgi78]

I heard this song in high school. Now in my mid-thirties I'm so glad I've found it again. Life-touching, beautiful, philosophical, complex music. This song has meant a lot to me. Thank you Indigo Girls.

[@zynzane9680]

Jeez, those voices. I just love listening to their voices together and the amazing original music that is like no other.

[@jeremydougherty]

I love their music. Their lyrics are powerful and more people should pay attention to them.

[@mathprodigy]

Actually my mom grew up playing this album this song came off of in the 90s. I learned to love many songs from the album, this being one of them! I truly believe this song will last for all time! It's a great song! I appreciate these great artists , Emily and Amy, for all they've given us! Thank you gals!

Thank you Chrystal for introducing me to this song. I'll always think of you and that magical time of 1996/1997 with you when I hear it. Hope you're doing great out in the Great Green Northwest!

[@shawnelliot8511]

My. Dears I brought two cassettes with me day I got my license. This album and the smiths strangways here we come. You are so absorbed into my psyche. Thank you for making me smile when I was 16 and leaving a childhood of abuse. I cried at Gallileo and thought they get it!!!! Singing your songs w/ windows down on I95 purged some heart ache. I really hope you know how you touched my soul❤

[@slcrn345]

I saw the Indigo Girls after having the show changed twice because of COVID. I took my friend with me and we both had an amazing time! They sounded fantastic. I was amazed at how well the played the many guitars they had with them. It was fun just watching their passion for music.

[@KidIndigo1]

First of all, they could have been singing "mab ambmabmabmabmabmab" with the music and harmonies, and this would STILL be a great song. Add the lyrics, at least to me, it's wonderful. Always has been.

[@canerican2]

KidIndigo1 I love this song but I would pay good money to hear them sing it like that.

[@johannadey3941]

+KidIndigo1 love your post and so true...its like joy and ecstasy had a baby and it's this song!!

[@KidIndigo1]

+Johanna Dey Yes, ma'am. In our wash of media overload, there are still some standouts. These ladies are pretty awesome, at least, in my opinion. Consistently awesome.

Saw "It's Only Life After All" at the Macon Film Festival-- wonderful! I was so happy to see this as the song Alexandria used first. There was a Q&A afterwards, but I didn't have the nerve to ask about her process for choosing the music to be featured. :)

[@ctrlaltdestroy000]

[@forestbirdgirl]

Shout out to all the Indigo Children

[@jewfroDZak]

There’s a moment in the video that really gave away what this song is about, at least my interpretation of it. It happens quick, right at the 1:41 mark, immediately following the line “how long till my soul gets it right?”, she looks up real quick exposing a quick flash of anger, like she is sarcastically posing this previous lyric’s question to god…because she feels like she’s doing a pretty good job and she doesn’t know what else to do, presumably. And I concur with her conclusion on that and commiserate with that exact feeling captured on her face-a slightly disgusted anger at having to ask the question in the first place-in that quick instant. 1:41. I love that moment. Seeing that and recognizing what I think was going on in that moment-I see it every time now. I wait for it. I rewind it and watch it again and again. It happens so quick. Take a look for it. 1:41.

[@bernadettesison5979]

[@desp8790]

Love this song. There was a lot of talk about Galileo tonight and the Great Conjunction. I immediately started singing this lol.

[@Colin-kh6kp]

She offers thanks to the brilliant people that make discoveries that change the World. That echoes the Issac Newton quote "if i have seen farther than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants" nice line

[@angharad588]

It's transcended. Even poignant.

[@jkp2319]

Isaac Newton was actually insulting his rival Robert Hooke, who was of modest stature. It doesn't lessen the beauty of the song, though.

[@forestbirdgirl]

and we once were giants, were we not?

[@jason00121]

Nice quote. I had no idea it was Newton's.

[@Jamie-lw5sy]

My sister liked that song closer to fine. I miss her dearly.

[@sambrownsings]

So, so good.

[@Stew2498]

My favorite song ever

[@BrunoEwok]

Fairly irrelevant to this song, but funny thing about Galileo: his failure to take criticism put astronomy back a couple of centuries. The Catholic Church actually had a valid reason for its initial criticism of Galileo and it isn't what anyone things it was. It was the fact that there was no visible parallax; that is, his heliocentric model of the solar system didn't show the outer planets appearing to move relative to the background like you would expect if the Earth was moving so much (AD 1614). The ultimate answer to this could have been found in Nicolas Cardinal DiCusa's work (AD 1460): that the stars were so unimaginably far away. Had he reconciled DiCusa to Copernicus (AD 1514), he'd've gotten an incredibly accurate, 20th century view of the universe. But instead he called the pope a simpleton (AD 1633), gave the church the middle finger, and prompted a centuries' long conflict between inductive and deductive reasoning that is pure garbage.

[@alexanderhay7358]

underrated

[@twoyoots8417]

We brought our daughter and her Mount Holyoke College friends to an Indigo Girls concert about six years ago. Watching them run up to the stage near the end to dance to the music was a beautiful moment. I bought my first Indigo Girls cassette (yup) in the 80s. Closer to Fine. Loving that this song, and Closer to Fine, is still inspiring all women everywhere.

[@hazeleyedlady66]

Just in case someone missed it...they are lesbians, don't have husbands and were NEVER together romantically! They are great friends and business partners that sing together and nothing more as they have stated many times in interviews. Great song and video!

[@briangriffin5701]

It's not important, Hazel. They are incredibly gifted and talented women and that's all that matters.

[@sealdrup]

Brian Griffin I couldn't agree more. You never hear about heterosexual recording artist ______. It really is nobody's business but their own. Appreciate the obvious talent these ladies have. Nothing else, imho, really matters. Excellent song!

[@hazeleyedlady66]

Hi and I agree with you 100% and that comment I made was to some idiot that make a stupid comment in here in reference to their being together as a couple so I was just setting them straight (no pun intended:) No it doesn't matter what they do in their personal lives!
