[@jorgetoro2990]

To me, this song smells like rain falling on the grass and pine trees, tastes like dark whiskey, and feels like the woman I could never have.

[@dariceheredia7078]

Wow you write so eloquently.

[@georgehazard1986]

This tracks. Carry on, King.

[@edxcal84]

So I started True Detective season 2, a little late to the game I know, I get close to the end of episode 1 and I hear this song, I pause the episode and get on youtube to look it up and here I am. Beautiful and haunting, love this song!

[@robinholland1574]

Oh please see season one!!! It was so well acted and exceptional in every way.

[@edxcal84]

@@robinholland1574 why do you think I started season two....

[@johnnyringo4463]

Season 1 was great, but Rust Cole was too philosophical for my liking. A philosophical drunk. "The car is a quiet reflection space". Lol.... Ray Velcoro in season 2 is a relatable drunk, whole life is in shambles. Only thing that keeps him going is his job, which he floats on the line of between legal/illegal. Lol. I prefer season 2 so far.

The most beautiful song ever written. Hauntingly desperate, mysteriously sad.

[@Shorty_Lickens]

why would you say something so bold, yet so controversial?

[@michalaleskandr3985]

You need to get around more... there is so much music... past, present and to still to be made... for me that statement is "desperate and sad"... definitely not mysterious or haunting. Just sad... "ever"!? :/

[@johnthorne4093]

Your reactions are righteous; the songwriter's whole intent is to express confusion, uncertainty, and doubt. Why me? Why did I lose, while others won? What did I do wrong?

[@paulwasharmonhere7388]

ugh a song that gives you that sinking feeling. no mater what youve accomplished in life art can paint such a beautiful reality

[@mrbosox78]

Season 2 brought me here, her voice keeps bringing me back.

[@vernonsalisbury5276]

I went to her show 2 years ago. Found her because true detective, but stayed cause I loved her music! When I seen her I asked if she would sign my TD S2 Blu ray, she signed it with a heart at the end. She's such a great artist!

[@vernonsalisbury5276]

Btw she's the ONLY signature on it!

[@dzsimsek8291]

My Least Favorite Life This is my least favorite life The one where you fly and I don't A kiss holds a million deceits And a lifetime goes up in smoke This is my least favorite you Who floats far above earth and stone The nights that I twist on the rack Is the time that I feel most at home We're wandering in the shade And the rustle of fallen leaves A bird on the edge of a blade Lost now forever, my love, in a sweet memory The station pulls away from the train The blue pulls away from the sky The whisper of two broken wings Maybe they're yours, maybe they're mine This is my least favorite life The one where I am out of my mind The one where you are just out of reach The one where I stay and you fly I'm wandering in the shade And the rustle of fallen leaves A bird on the edge of the blade Lost now forever, my love, in a sweet memory

[@bfoushee9270]

🎵this is my most favorite song...🎵

[@sherrypayton6871]

Some songs grow on you after a while. This is one of those songs that you hear the first time and say WOW.

[@GordyThomas]

An amazing song in an exceptionally clean performance that fully ensnares the listener before even the first verse has finished. For years I hosted a songwriter night (guitar pull) in Nashville, and this song is the type of performance that would hush a crowd in a heartbeat and demand that jaded industry pros stop whatever they were doing and give it a total listen. That's how this grabbed me when I first heard it in True Detective. Bravo! 👏😎👍

[@aaaaaccccc1006]

This is my least favorite life The one where I am out of my mind…❤️‍🩹

This song is like something from 1965 we still listen to.

was just listening to this today. Lera Lynn is the best thing to come out of season 2 True Detect.

[@grmnj]

+thoyo Can't agree more

[@rexdaileg6573]

Had it not been for her, the whole thing would have been unbearable. The first season was probably one of the best hbo has produced in years. The acting, writing, and jesus the directing is almost impeccable. The second felt really flat. Most of the time you're just forced to watch over the shoulder scenes.

[@mashmore12]

I will not disclose the amount of times I’ve come here to listen…: a few years ago it was probably an alarming amount. Lera is a queen.

[@acuteguy9354]

True Detective brought me Here

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

Perpetually stunned I still stumble across genius like this. This is where record stores going away killed music overall. Because no way this would go unnoticed back then.

[@tapiooftapiola517]

Thinking back, she was TD Season 2. Her voice and performance is a godsend.

[@DutchKidRanger]

This is my favorite Lera Lynn song; as she sings it, there is a beauty beyond mere sound. It sends echoes into my mind, and it makes me wonder how she could've possibly known what words to put together here to describe such tristesse. She and her writers did such a great job, but Lera's delivery was what I truly identify with.

[@BL-mf3jp]

Tristesse is a brilliant word choice

[@VIBE_MC_]

Found this gem on True detective. It touches my soul 🤩 wow.

[@kemperlennox5209]

I found it on "Goliath"

[@veronicamatus5455]

I can so relate to this song it's eerie! My parents ping pong ball growing up, my husband decides now its a great time to leave me or say its over during sickness. I'm glad I found you Lera Lynn. This song is so appropriate to my life. Thank you.

[@Canavisativa42]

writing this msg from 10 months future, sympathise you lady, hope ur well now, piece

[@JamesChristopherHill]

So Talented! Like Kate Bush, Pink Floyd or the Beatles, I can't stop listening to her music! I Even purchased one of her limited edition Vinyls of "On my Own" along with every CD she has made in a bundle and hope to find an online ticket I purchased to see her in concert in Athens in June near my Birthday. She has the voice of a thousand angels in sync and yet is so beautiful at the same time. Her eyes mesmerize along with her voice. I've been through a personal Hell the past two years along with 5 years of continuous depression so her songs help me make it through each day of painting or sketching. I put her music on through Spotify and everything is ok for a while. :)

[@NickWeissMusic]

For those guitarists trying to figure it out... it’s open Dm tuning (DADFAD). I’d never come across that before, very cool. DmMaj7 is the signature spooky sound she’s using, think last chord of the James Bond theme...

Awesome comment. Thank you.

[@cloudf714]

Season 2 is literally up there with season 1 if deeply overlooked. I only say that because i hear so many people bashing season 2. There will never be another season 1, mathews and woodys atmosphere they created with their characters is out of this world. Season 2 floats more with deception and trust. You wont get those deep conversations like season 1 but youll get sympathetic nature each one has for the other.

2 сезон "True detective" великолепен, кто бы что ни говорил. Актерские работы вне всяких похвал. Особенно Винс Вон и Колин Фаррелл хороши. Атмосфера, режиссура, операторская работа и саундтрек на высоком уровне. Первый и второй сезоны - разные, каждый хорош по-своему.

[@mudvayne8873]

Вчера с женой досмотрели 2 сезон. Сезоны совершенно разные, но в 1 на мой взгляд тоже очень крутой, особенно игра Метью.. Не могу сказать, что понравилось больше, ибо оба сезона офигенны по-своему... Во 2 больше драмы и экшена, концовка грустная, было жалко всех 3 героев, особенно Винса и Колина. Саундтрек - это нечто!

[@dorffnk]

@@mudvayne8873 Согласен. Первый сезон тащит харизма Метью Макконахи, второй по своему хорош сезон, закрученный сюжет, много персонажей, отличный саундтрек.

[@tonyxfury]

++, второй сезон обожаю. Менее мистический, но более жизненный что ли, про судьбы людей.

[@Ge_001]

По мне второй лучше

[@aleksandrsavchenko714]

Мы посмотрели 1, потом 3 - повелся на то, что рейтинг у 3 чуть выше на IMDb. Потом 2-й - и он затянул с 1 серии, это удивительно цельный продукт, в котором иррациональный характер героев показан так, что веришь им полностью. Абсолютно живые люди, столкнувшиеся с трудностями, но не готовы идти на компромисс в силу характера, поэтому допускают тактические ошибки и окончательно пускают жизнь под откос.

[@terminallyblonde333]

Maybe this is her least favorite life, but it's definitely my most favorite song now. 😏 It's hauntingly melodic. Aside from the fact that I could totally identify with the lyrics. I've managed to experience so much drama & trauma in this one lifetime, & had to reinvent myself into a completely different person from the ground up from scratch so many times now, that it LITERALLY feels like I've got several lifetimes into this one.🙃 By my count, I'm on my fifth one so far and I'm 51 now, but it feels more like 81, cuz my aching soul is just SO... SO... TIRED now. 😵‍💫🥱

[@EducatedButton]

This is my most favorite new song! The one that is melting my heart! The one that reminds of my beloved brother who's gone!

[@BayCelebi]

This girl is the best voice i ve ever heard

[@johnthorne4093]

Lera's voice is amazing. Her guitar-playing is excellent. Her songwriting is impeccable. I know, "impeccable" makes her sound unreachable and remote. But I mean it to read: she is interested ONLY in the truth. She does not want catchy hooks, she does not want a universally-recognized catch-phrase. She wants her songs appreciated for what they are: raw, honest, heartfelt, brutal.

[@C0achMcgurk]

Fell in love with this a long time ago, forgot about it and her. An ad for some videogame came on today with her singing a song for it (Endless Dumgeon the game) and looked her name and saw I was already subscribed. Didn’t have a clue as to why, till I saw this video. I didn’t know it was possible to fall in love twice but here I am, as starstruck as the night sky.

[@andrewspew]

Same. I saw that ad and ended up listening to her whole discography back to back after I realized who it was.

[@johnthorne4093]

The eternal paradox. I say, "this is valuable; this is relevant." 90% of my fellow citizens say, " it's depressing" (= too many big words), "it's subversive" (= points out that someone, somewhere, experienced a problem in the US of A, and God knows that has to be a lie).
