Steve Fisher - Anything (Adrianne Lenker Cover)

[@joshgrisham2275]

Every time she asks, "is it ok if im close?" it makes me cry, because it seems like that question is a big theme in the song

[@chrissawyer4060]

I felt that too. It's an exchange of silence hes worried about the tuning and she doesn't say anything. Shes worried about her proximity and he doesn't say anything.

I always thought indigo was an interesting color choice to associate with fear, since indigo is a shade of blue and purple, blue=sad purple=starting anew, i thought that was really interesting. Then i realized indigo was the name of a person, and it was literal, and it made the song a lot more personal. I think its great with both interpretaions. Really brave to actually put her name in it.

This is what it is to be human. To share art, to interpret it together. To watch something you love so dearly evolve and hear it from the mouths of others. This song is one of the most beautifully written pieces all around. Every cover I hear of it breaks my perspective of everything and I love it every time. I have so much love in my heart for Adrienne and for Steve’s wonderful cover and for anyone reading this. I have so much love and no idea how to spend it so I will share it and write about it even though it may never be understood. This is the human spirit. This is what it all means and I love you all.

The little looks he gives when he slightly messes up the lyrics and you can see him smile as he's being reassured off camera is a beautiful moment between two musicans.

[@evabergstrom8822]

the fact she writes “wanna listen to the sound of your blinking, wanna listen to your hands south, listen to your heart beating, and listen tot the way you love’ is do powerful because she wants to listen to the little things. you can’t hear those things unless your close to them. and how she writes ‘weren’t we the stars in the heaven, weren’t we the salt in the sea’ she is saying weren’t we infinite. and that struck me. i love you adrianne

[@paintedhen5242]

I feel like this song was meant to be played like this

[@isaacdust]

I'm not familiar with Steve Fisher, but damn this is a powerful, moving version of the song. Steve plays the song in a different key (to suit his voice), a different tuning (standard, with a capo, while Adrianne uses an open tuning), he changes up a lyric or two (e.g., "Listen to the sound of you breathing" instead of Adrianne's "blinking"), and he doesn't change up the chord progression during the chorus (while Adrianne switches things up during the chorus by starting on a minor chord). The song is so great that it retains its power despite these minor changes. In fact, both versions seem perfect. Thanks for sharing this.

The facr Adrienne Lenker (the writer of the song he's covering) is the one recording makes this even sweeter.

[@anamariakekelidze]

"lay in your lap while i'm crying ".... so vulnerable, for someone to see the tears stream down your face like a cold river (which may remind you of them), it's like stripping your soul naked. but you know what's the irony of it all? - the comforting arm is the one that hurt you in the first place, but oh the warmth of their fingers, the fleeting hope that everything will work out, when in the end, it's doomed to fall apart. since the beginning it was doomed to fall apart. but why try, you may ask? human nature does the wonders, that's why. it continues to fight even when the white, defeated flags are being waved from the other side and there's no more use of wasting your precious seconds. maybe, maybe in another universe i'd lie in your lap without crying, but in this one, i'll have to say goodbye, because my eyes are drying and cheeks are too red, if you touch them with your knuckles, your hand may burn up. and i don't want that to happen, such a fool i am, still caring about the possible pain to you i may cause. we would never be that lucky and you would not go against anything for me, but in the mere second i saw the glimpse in your eyes and I knew you were double guessing the fate. I knew it, the same way I have memorized your heartbeat, however, life got in our way, and you weren't strong enough to bring the swords and strike back. i'll catch you on the flipside. as for now, farewell, i will try my best to erase your touches on my skin and not search for you in every single crowd i might meet along the way. i could've loved you endlessly, i could've let you sleep in the car while I'd drive. I'd kiss your eyes too, tirelessly. Adrianne, this song is a gem. you cracked me up and unleashed the pain i've been trying to conceal, such a magic you carry with your mind and fingertips.
