LERA LYNN Performs "MY LEAST FAVORITE LIFE" Live at RESISTOR

[@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.

[@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!

[@max_ch3]

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?

[@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.

[@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! 👏😎👍

[@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

[@Romulus980]

From the moment she starts singing I felt this was a very one in a million song - a real gem....

[@barbituratik]

We decided to watch TD2 one more time nine years ago as the 1st season eclipsed the 2nd but we remained that feeling... that the 2nd season in fact very very good. Yeah, now we're assured in it. But the main discovery was not this, it's Lera! As I didn't remember her amazing songs after the first watching!

[@TumblehomeBoatshop]

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

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.

[@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.

[@MoonGooned]

This song may have healed my broken heart. Or shattered it into infinity.

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.

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.

[@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. :)

[@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!

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...

She wants her songs appreciated for what they are: raw, honest, heartfelt, brutal.
