LYRICS:
through your eyes i see
the smile you bring to me
to your joy i tether
not a lot, just forever
intertwined, sewn together
like the rock bears the weather
not a lot, just forever
my dog barks wildly
to protect my infancy
from my ex-believer
i try to calm the wolf
to remind her i am both
still, she tears at my sweater
not a lot, just forever
intertwined, sewn together
as the wren sheds her feather
not a lot, just forever
your dearest fantasy
is to grow a baby in me
i could be a good mother
and i want to be your wife
so i hold you to my knife
and i steal your letter
not a lot, just forever
intertwined sewn together
as the rock wears the weather
not a lot, just forever
so, i bash around the house
the poison stains my mouth
she comes, i let her and
we share a paradise (pair of dice)
i roll them once or twice
can’t get much better
not a lot, just forever
intertwined, sewn together
as the rock bares the weather
not a lot, just forever
not a lot, just forever
intertwined, sewn together
as the wren bares her feathers
not a lot, just forever
she's so brave to be so vulnerable, can't even imagine the heartbreak she went through to write something like this
Heartbreak?
@@fullysickrockstar i believe this whole album to be about a relationship that couldnt be understood by anyone but herself and whoever, since ended. prolly me making up some mad backstory in my head though.
Well i can lol i mean not lol
@@nuitNo.6what are you even talking about
I miss my mom and shes down stairs rn laughing at ig reels
That’s love, how beautiful is it?
Relatable ahh
ugh
When the song is sad but the meaning is even sadder 😭
what does it mean?
@@swizzycake It's about the singer's love for her partner, the relationship, how it's gone toxic, and how it ends up not working out
“Not a lot just forever” the great intricate story of love summed up.
has to be one of the best songwriters alive.
without a doubt
Great lyrics
understands how 2 express how we can all feel
absolutely
Hands down
It is 02:09 on Thursday the 28th of December 2023, and im listening to this song for the first time in my life, i hope someday in the distant future i find this again
wtf are you saying bro
Bro just put it on a playlist damn
@@tatejensen7892LOL
reminder to come back to this song
@@alfonsoparrado3112 chillout I lose my favorite songs too
when I first heard this song, I cried for days every time I even thought about it. the way this song makes makes my soul hurt is unmatched and i feel like clawing into myself and cleaving out whatever is inside anytime I even think it. it has touched me so much that i have to push it down and away because if I think about it too long i cannot stop. this is the most emotion a song has ever evoked out of me and it’s incredible and you are so talented and its so beautiful but i can never listen to this again because i will spend the rest of my life in tears
these comments make me feel a bit better about feeling sad everytime i hear this song
You should consider being a writer
I cried the first time I heard it. Absolute sublime.
I cry every time 🥰
Through your eyes I see
A smile you bring to me
To your joy, I tether
Not a lot, just forever
Intertwined, sewn together
Like the rock bears the weather
Not a lot, just forever
My dog barks wildly
To protect my infancy
From my ex-believer
And I try to calm the wolf
To remind her I am both
Still she tears at my sweater
Not a lot, just forever
Intertwined, sewn together
As the wren sheds her feather
Not a lot, just forever
And your dearest fantasy
Is to grow a baby in me
I could be a good mother
And I wanna be your wife
So I hold you to my knife
And I steal your letter
Not a lot, just forever
Intertwine some together
As the rock bears the weather
Not a lot, just forever
So I bash around the house
And the poison stains my mouth
She comes, I let her
And we share a paradise
And I roll them once or twice
Can't get much better
Not a lot, just forever
Intertwined, sewn together
As the rock bears the weather
Not a lot, just forever
Not a lot, just forever
Intertwined, sewn together
As the wren bares her feathers
Not a lot, just forever
lots of dog mentioning on this album, wonderful
Shouts out Alex G
@@devontejonvireclark people to come p
truly discovering adrianne lenker and big thief 6 years ago was so beneficial for my outlook on life
possibly the best songwriter of our generation. everything is so pure and vulnerable. each word just piles on top of one another
The guitar part is so beautiful. The part at 0:14 that repeats throughout the song feels like genuine heartbreak coming into focus for a moment, like it's difficult to stay with for any longer.
beautifully said
@@zacstaffiere indeed
I can’t begin to describe how sad this song makes me
same
I've been listening to this for hours on end, it's so beautiful I hope she never stops singing and writing and all this it's so gorgeous and I feel blessed to listen to it
idk why but "she comes, i let her" at 2:47 hits me so hard
Real
Full body chills
this is quite possibly one of the most beautiful songs ever written
Saw this on an edit of Drake Bell and Amanda Bynes as kids together. I’ve been crying ever since. It was the moment “Quiet on Set” truly hit me.
1:21-1:30 that recurring melody is one of the most things i've ever heard
It is 11:12 AM on Friday March 1st 2024. I'm listening to this song for the very first time. It's beautiful. I'm a different person right now then I'll ever be. I turned 16 this year. I hope you have an amazing day.
I love you so much
I cry every time I hear this song.
""
its okay me to
I love a girl named Jade
stop my names jade
I love a girl named Melanie
I love a boy named Andrej
i love a girl named Georgia
i love a boy named Bartek
I just keep listening to this over and over and over and crying so hard I don’t know what it is
In love with someone who can never know. 💛
I know this is probably not what this song means, but here is how I see it.
"Not A lot Just Forever." Means something you have to deal with forever, it may not seem like a lot at the moment, or you may tell yourself this. But it's going to be forever. "Like the rock bears the weather." shows the rock has beared the weather, no matter if it is stormy, or sunny. It always gets through the weather. "When a dog barks wildly, to protect its infentsy" means to the dog is barking wildly, quickly getting defensive to protect its infentsy, something that will always be apart of them. Something that means alot to them. The dog may act on this without even realizing it.
Again, I know this probably isnt what it means. But it brings me comfort to think of it this way.
this is the only reason that makes sense
*infancy.
That aside...your interpretation seems spot on. And it hit me in the gut, going through something at the moment I'm really hoping would simply pass like all the rest but having a dark feeling it'd stay with me for the rest of my life. Thanks for putting it to words, man. TwT
I have cried many times to this song. The way she describes the love she has for the other person and how they both mutually feel that way makes me feel strangely sad. Really brings out an emotion in my that I didn’t know existed till now.
I could be a good mother
I have never had the pleasure to meet Adrianne in person. I barely know a little bit about her, but to me it feels like nobody else could have written something so pure like this.
clearly you've never heard of Elliott Smith
@@alfonsoparrado3112 what songs from him would u recommend
Between the bars, alameda, 2:45 am, Twilight, no name #1. There are so many!@@zzslippin8829
the love of my life dumped me a week ago, i used to think of her when i listened to this. now it feels bitter listening
how are you feeling about it now? you dont have to answer but im curious; i was broken up with 10 months ago
@@riley8955hope you guys are doing ok.
in another lifetime, i will find you. i won’t hurt you , i’ll do everything right. i will love you like i’m breathing and show you how much you deserve
I m so sorry and i hope you will find her / him
I love this song so much...I listen to it all day, I even listen to it when I go to sleep.This song just has something that makes you feel so close to the lyrics, it just bewitches you.
what a record.. it's a perfect fit for my top 10 acoustics ever
This made me cry the first time I heard it. Favourite song on Songs.
Cried my heart out to this song but my eyelashes looked great!
He was a part of my soul, 2 years and I can’t get over him
I still feel like throwing up every time i talk to him, still tear up
this is my favorite song ever. it's gotten me through so much in the past year.
I'm sobbing
Just can't really describe in words how good this is...
"i fantasize about playing this song for you on a road-trip somewhere in the wilderness"
well we all just here. yall must be unwell too.
this song means the world to me
The feeling that I’m loosing you forever and without I could love you better. I wish i loved you differently maybe in another lifetime I’ll love you the way you deserve
This is the first time I'm listening to Arianne's music Tuesday the 2nd of May 2023
*Adrianne's (oops)
this song makes me want to rip all my hair off my head in a positive way but still crying
Instant tears
I think this has to be the best youtube recommendation I've received in 10 years on this site.
Such a beautiful voice and instrumental. I'm going to have to force myself to not listen to this ten times a day.
This song makes me feel something different... like a real story telling of the love through my eyes and my life. It brings out raw emotions, and the lyrics are beautifully put! Such a outstanding piece of art this song is :)❤
After a month playing games with my 2 friends, one of them just touched my heart with his laugh, ruined humor and way to empathize. Discord help us to talk often. I thought I would never find someone to love or to feel loved by someone after a break, longdistance relationship with someone very different from me, but I learned so much things thanks to her. I prefered to say to to my friend I felt love, and not just friendship between us... She felt the same. I think you just have to give yourself a chance and be grateful about your past and keep walking, love, smile, feel you're loved, make someone smile. Don't get stuck! ❤
After 2 months, I realize I didnt get rid of my ex (longdistance relationship) so I hurt this girl I met, prolly someone who would be the best person I have ever met, pure and genuine personality with the same humor as me, but it was my fault, it wasn't the time, cause never is the right time to do something, you just take the risk, and I lost her. Now I'm alone, focusing in me and my studies, but each day feeling I have anymore strong feelings to my ex who just played with me, but I think thats something I deserved by not having some teenager love, cause I could say she wasnt mature as I thought having my same age, but it was love in some way, even if she was too different from me.
This is one of a kind, can never and will never be replaced.
first song im hearing of her and wow im in awe
i actually sobbed with literal snot and spit coming out of me to this song
Thank you for recommending this song to me, Noelle.
"I could be a good mother" Idk as someone with parental issues and stuff this song makes me think about how I can change as a person and not have to be like them in any way if I don't want to, like my life is mine and I can do whatever I want with it. One day I wanna be a mom, and I wanna do better than my parents ever could. But only time will tell.
i never cry to songs or media but this song hit me in my core and now theres a ball in my throat
I cry every single time when I hear this song. It does something to your soul.
I remember listening to this song when it was blizzarding out and smoking cigarettes outside, but i was so drunk i didnt care because the alcohol kept me warm. Will never forget it
you’re immensely talented, thank you for sharing your gift
Hits differently at 3:58am
4:57am still hits a year later
Adriannes songs are so perfect in the fact that you can be crying your eyes out to it at one point, then dancing around your room to it, then staring into the distance, serenading yourself with it, feel at peace with it, feel empty with it, ANYTHING
Adrianne Lenker is just something else
what the hell this song makes me UPSET but in a good way
yo te amo adrianne lenker, todo lo que escribes es perfecto para mi, me haces llorar la mayoría del tiempo pero a la vez me das una tranquilidad que pocas veces alcanzo por mi propia cuenta, me gustaría recorrer bosques y desiertos y lagos con una guitarra y la paz que tú tienes... admirador numero 1000 del otro lado del mundo
I think about him when I listen to this 🖤
You mean so much to me you made me feel things I’ve never felt before when i thought things won’t ever get better. I know i never met you so how can i miss you? How can i love someone I didn’t hear their voice or touched them or even talked to them? How could i know a stranger like you more than anyone? But somehow i can’t get over you even after 569 days. How can i forget you when you were the only person who made me feel safe and then you left but you didn’t make me regret anything? You have the sweetest soul ever. I miss having dreams about you if i can’t meet you in dreams then where should we meet? Please visit me in my dreams again i really miss you.
You make me feel safe even when you’re absent. How warm your soul should be to make a person like me feel the warmth ?
This song pulls the truth out of my tears and heart. No song has made me feel this connected and reunited with who I once was. I feel every emotion I have come to know throughout this song. Truely beautiful, thank you.
I find it Hard to listen to this song. It is by no means a bad song at all, I actually find it quite nice. It’s the memories this song brings along. Every time I find my self vividly remembering the time I found the love I spent was for nothing. As I sat on that FaceTime call quietly, trying to find what to say to her without bursting out in tears again. As she sat going about her evening despite telling me that she felt nothing but a random guy after all the time we spent together. I cried. Hard. Every night for weeks after then, I found it even harder knowing there was nothing of either of us could have done. She felt no spark for me as I did for her, when my heart raced when I stared at her she didn’t feel the same racing rhythm and the stumbling of my words as I looked into her chocolate brown eyes. The comfort her hand gave me intertwined with mine. It was all my own dream. I knew after I hung up that call it would be the last time we ever spoke as familiar faces. And I tried everything to make sure that wasn’t the case. And here I am. I hope it’s for the better but im still heartbroken. Healing, but slowly. I miss my beautiful girl, and I miss how much of safe space she gave me. The moments I cried in her arms, the time I comforted her as another man did the very same thing she would soon do to me. I miss her so much and this song reminds me so much.
everythings going to be okay, i promise
@@sofishqq thank you.
I’m sixteen. My boyfriend and I are on a break, regarding our relationship, right now. I think of him every time I hear this song. He’s a sweetheart. We’re intertwined and sewn together.
Thank you for existing and doing what you do. Absolutely mystical and sublime. The tenderness in your writing is everything! Thank you!!
I wish i was a musician so i can just sing my heart out
"And I wana be your wife, so i hold you to my knife. And i steal your letter, not a lot just forever"
sounds lovely!
I love this song, but it aches my heart in the slightest. It reminds me of a relationship with me and one of my best friends. We actually dated before, but we separated and decided to remain friends. I just recently had to cut her out of my life because she wasn’t really being a good friend. Thinking of this song it takes me back to our close relationship before she sorta changed. It was a type of love that I can’t describe.
I know exactly what you mean. I'm glad you chose your well being and peace over her ❤
This helps me heal my soul thank you!
Absolute beauty
I absolutely love this song 💕💕
open d windchime sound like air passing over pines. partner song to anything
Mississippi Public Broadcasting brought me here. I LOVE it..

Thank you thank you thank you discover weekly for showing me this song
I'll never get over this one
Listening to this whilst writing, such an amazing song
thank you Adrianne
another stunner & maybe my favourite of the newest bunch of beauties.
The birds 🐦 sing with this song 🔊 🤙
Leaving this comment here so I can be reminded and come back. 🫂
I was looking for songs or burn on a cd and came across this from a UA-camr, needed.
literally crying rn 😭😭
I've always wanted to be a mother.
but due to a whole childhood of trauma and self-loathing, I fear I may never reach that day.
I had a dream the other night that I was holding a baby boy. I woke up distraught that he wasnt there.
Im only 18, but I never pictured a future for myself, Im scared I will never see my baby boy.
maybe it was a sign to keep going
my school counselor, when I told her assured me, I'd have a family, and I nearly started bawling.
I dunno what the point of this ramble is, I wonder if anyone else feels the same
thank you
forever seemed impossible and distant until i met you
This song feels like warm sunlight against my skin fr
i love adrianne lenker
2:10 Monday the 19th of February is the first time I’ve heard it and like
sobbing
This song feels good to sing when sad, I feel like I’m working through it in some way. Giving my sorrow a warm hug instead of pushing it away. Beautiful song💖

Every time i play this song i start crying 😭
This is beautiful
