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.

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.

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.

"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.

Back in 2020, I had a major identity crisis, and my mental health was at an extreme low for the first time in my life. I was 12 years old. I became much too hard to handle for my dad, who believed that the life I was leading was my choice, I was ostracized from his side of the family on Thanksgiving of that year. I started reconnecting with him last year. The first time I'd gone back to his house for nearly three years, I noticed that there were no photos of me on the walls. My stuff had either been packed away in the garage or given away to my 5 siblings. This song reminds me so much of him, of my siblings, of my entire family who believes that I am at fault for not being apart of their family (I was 12). Now, at 16, I'm truly coming to terms with the fact that as much as I hate him, I still want to be apart of his family. I want my dad back. I don't really know why I'm writing this, but if anyone can relate, know it was never your fault.

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

this sends genuine chills to my body. the way he sung the words and how they'd harmonize would cure the uncurable.

We all thought of different things, different people, different memories, and yet we all felt it. We all feel it. Crazy how universal music can be.

You managed to turn an Adrianne Lenker tune into a John Prine classic. Bravo!

Steve's a good friend of mine...amazing human, amazing songwriter. This was the best moment I've witnessed in a long time. Adrianne was brought to tears...

Agreed! It's funny, I have a play list of songs I think Prine would have enjoyed or that feel "Priney." Adrianne figures prominently. This is lovely. ❤️

this cover came to me the day after my stepmom left my dad due to his addiction. he's been dealing with it for as long as ive been alive, and has now burned through 2 marriages because of it. it's shitty to see him lose everything, finally get back on his feet, and then lose it a second time. i think this cover specifically reminds me of the childhood i wish i had had with him.

My grandfather was a huge musician/guitar lover, he used to show me all his favorite musicians and talk to me about music, he told me he used to perform as a lead guitarist in a band, he loved playing guitar and had a collection of them. he used to tell me stories about how he was a heartthrob back in the day and i always used to say "uhuh. sure u were". He past away two weeks ago, i feel like he would've really loved this song.
