Steve Fisher - Anything (Adrianne Lenker Cover)

- Incredible cover of her song “Anything” played to Adrianne while she records. She mentioned it brought her to tears as she hadn’t quite realized the power of the song until hearing it from him. I couldn’t agree more.
I don’t own rights to this song. Adrianne posted this on her instagram and I wanted to be able to add it to my UA-cam playlist
adrianne quietly harmonising in the backround has in me in tears
do you know why shes in this? like whats her relationship with this man?
@@bradybrady7893it’s her dad!
I had no idea it was Adrianne’s dad but now I do, and it makes me sob. So damn beautiful
@@caegalloway2805ok thanks that’s so cool!
@@bradybrady7893 He's not her dad. LOL.
Older folks, who have lived a lot of life and heard a lot of music, covering younger folks’ songs, is the most beautiful compliment.
He actually helped write the song
idk why but the "i don't wanna be part of your fantasy, i just wanna be part of your family" bit made me cry out of nowhere. i love being a human i love being alive.
Original lyric is “I don’t want to be the owner of your fantasy” :)
Right like when you are sexualized in every relationship but you just want to "know" someone to the point that they are family like wow I feel like you are finally seeing me
this cover gives me the same feeling of pretending to be asleep so you can be carried inside from the car when you were a kid. it's just so paternal and comforting and beautiful. 🤍
"werent we the stars in heaven? Weren't we the salt in the sea? Dragon in her new warm mountain? Didnt you believe in me?" So heart wrenching
2:41
the way i was like oh the girl harmonizing sounds like Adrianne and then i realized it fully was
July 2nd. Morning. Sobbing. I don't wanna talk about anything.
We’re here together, today, feeling the same things. ♥️
I don’t wanna talk about anything
Same
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.
thank you ryweenie we love you too.

I love you so much as well, thank you for this. It's been a particularly difficult week for me that's been testing my love and making me doubt if I've really done well enough showing it to people I hold close to my heart, or if I've done too much that it's overwhelming. You remind me how pretty love can be, you remind me people can be extremely beautiful simply because they are.
My dad always used to play guitar for me and my sister, he’d make up stupid funny little songs, but my mom always told me he would sing her favourite songs all the time. He passed away after Christmas last year from a meth overdose, I miss him so much, I wish he could play guitar for me again, I’m still learning guitar because of him, I love you dad.
i think i miss my dad
🫂🫂
sending strength. You got this, really.
this is absolutely incredible and this really shows how powerful adrianne is as a songwriter and how amazing this song is
Asp powerful phrase about Mango juice from mouth...)))
16 years without my mum, 7 years without my dad. The rest of my family are far away from me, i’ve never felt so alone, my heart aches hearing “i just wanna be part of your family”
i feel bad for you :( cheer up buddy ❤
cheer up dear, I love you ❤
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.

I love that she got emotional hearing it from another person singing it. Such a pure exchange of love and art.
This man is making the guitar sound like a fucking harp. What an incredibly intimate and raw performance of one of my favourite songs, just mind-blowing.
I feel like this song was meant to be played like this
This song brings me back to when I was a little, playing with my dad in the front yard of our house. I remember his big smile and how much he tried his hardest to be a good parent. I wish I could go back to those simple moments. My dad took his own life in Febuary and I miss him more than anything in the world. He was a such special and kind soul. I love you so much dad.
sending love
i'm sure your dad is looking over you right now, sending hugs your way
Petition to get this on Spotify!
as someone who never really get what it is like to have a active father figure in my life, thank you, i get it now.
"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.
i don't know who you are, but i love you. the way you weave words is so enchanting. you posted this 4 minutes ago, i opened this video at the right time. how wonderful it is, how you lay out your feelings and words laced with so much love and vulnerability. hugs!
@@yeon3997you were definitely sent by my guardian angel, tearing up as I read your comment and can not possibly thank you enough, you have no idea how much of hope you gave me with your words. I love you and please know that world is so much more beautiful, because we have you here ❤️ sending you everything magical the universe can offer ❤️
I've never read a more raw beautiful piece of text than this, and to find it in a comment section on a UA-cam video shows that beauty is found in all sorts of places, it just depends on your perspective
@@chillinpineapple6932you are so kind and thoughtful ❤️ i hope all of the beautiful things will come along your way, you are worthy of them⭐️
i literally cannot read a single sentence without tearing up
The facr Adrienne Lenker (the writer of the song he's covering) is the one recording makes this even sweeter.
time is slipping through my fingers like the sand on a hot day by the beach where i used to run endlessly, it's elusive and unstoppable, and i cant catch it. it leaves only a memory of its warmth between golden specks that promise something bigger than everything.
This comment makes me mentally ill.
Steve Fisher is the same man who wrote the poem in Wide Winged Bird. Obviously a deep and vast soul. Adrianne is a true scavenger for the hidden magic that persists in this world.
I desperately NEED this on Spotify
It might be on there as a podcast if it hasn’t gotten deleted
this is so beautiful. it has been 2 years since my partner passed away, and this cover is a great comfort to me. it reminded me of the days where we would sit in the warm sun and just enjoy each other’s company. i miss you, B.
What was their name what were they like
i don't know what to do with myself after hearing this
last day of school was today. last summer being a highschooler
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. ❤️
there's such a delicate and fragile pain to this song. It's so jarring and real
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.
I’m glad you got through that and are coming to terms with your dad. All of the positive stories in this comment section are so wholesome
@Kaylieeee33 thank you sm ❤️
I never really noticed before the beauty of this verse until I heard this cover:
"Weren't we the stars in heaven?
Weren't we the salt in the sea?
Dragon in the new warm mountain
Didn't you believe in me?"
I don't know why, I just never really noticed it. Something about the cadence and the way this man sings it. Maybe because he's playing it a bit slower, and he emotes the words a bit differently.
I noticed it only at the last play as well, did you realize how it basically foreshadowed the title of the new Big Thief album?
I'm glad Adrianne was able to realize the power of the song by hearing someone else sing it to her, because that's how I feel every time I hear her sing it. Absolutely beautiful work
THE HARMONY IM DEVASTATED
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.
I’m so sorry for your loss
I've been coming back to this at least once a day for the last couple of weeks. Just angelic. Thank you Adrienne Lenker for your beautiful music and Steve Fisher for lending this song your tender and beautiful talent.
a boy I talked to showed me this cover, I watch it occasionally just to remember. he doesnt really care but I do. I just wanted him to be happy and I thought he was but this song just hits hard
Beautiful rendition. This shows so much respect to young songwriters. I can tell this man’s very wise and in touch with the world.
crying, this guy needs to do covers again
BRB just moaning in pain and rolling around on the floor of my apartment
the country accent is what gets me. i grew up southern and abused. now i still live in the south but nobody here is southern like they were in virginia. the amount of nostalgia and emotion i feel is unexplainable. i need this on spotify
i love the little light harmonies from adrianne
I must have listened to Lenker's version a thousand times. I gave this a listen, got about halfway through, and the tears came until I was sobbing. A really beautiful rendition thank you Steve
one day i'll be loved exactly how i want to be, and i'll come across someone with that same sweet smile i fell for months ago
growing up I was very close with my grandpa who had almost the same voice as this cover. I remember this video coming on my for you page on tiktok and immediately was rushed with tons of emotions I have not felt since he has passed away. I am so glad to have been able to discover this, and will always come to this video whenever I need a sense of comfort. Thank you for this.
the parts when they both harmonize, and the soft hum in the background near the end just ties it all together, thank you so much
this is the biggest heartache
right : (
this reminds me of my dad. he was learning how to play guitar shortly before he died. it’s been eight years. listening to this brings me a lot of comfort
I just feel so close to this version of the song
I keep coming back to this, one of the best covers I’ve ever heard of any song
agree
this is such a fatherly embrace to me.
When I was 14 I met the best friend I still cherish forever. We grew up everyday together, I love with my mother who has a boyfriend who’s ruined her my life was horrible at home. I’d spend everyday at her house . I’d starve with her I living off ravioli and hot Cheetos everyday for three years thanks to food stamps. I ran away three weeks before my 18th birthday we’d steal alcohol from the store everyday. We were such bad alcoholics. I got blacked out drunk once again and I got into a bad argument which led me to self harming myself so bad. I’ve always selfed harmed . But that night I need medical attention because the cut was so deep and big. I spent my 18 th in a mental institution. Did nothing but call my bestfriend every 20 minutes. I stared out the window for hours wishing I was dancing in grass . Next week is my 19th birthday. I’ve came such a long way. I was 104 lbs then I’m almost 125 lbs now. I don’t have an alcohol problem. But gosh how this week is hitting me so harsh in the heart. I love everyone I wish too meet every soul on this earth good or bad. I wanna spread love and joy. We are all so beautiful if you got to here pls leave me a reply . I love you so much. I will die loving everything I never saw and everything I have.
Hang in there and stick to your dreams. Humans are beautiful in the way they think and love and you have the same right as anyone else to enjoy that. Go dance in that grass with your friend
life is beautiful good luck on everything from just one human to another
I love you stranger and I'm glad you're doing better. Happy early 19th birthday and I hope that day is beautiful for you. The last sentence of your comment made me cry. I am so proud of you
the last like you wrote made me cry. i know you must have a beautiful soul because the words you write are. i hope life treats you well.
happy early birthday. ur journey is beautiful and thank u for sharing it.
His voice matches this song so much! Especially when they both joined in on some moments of the song. I've never had a grandpa, I don't even know my own dad, but if I did this is how it would feel like. Just me and him bonding over music that makes us feel alive and full of love. Cherish the people you love, and don't let yourself be consumed by your own mind. You're the narrator of your own story, but you're not the only story on the shelf. Remember that and prosper a life you won't regret. Don't be scared, and do it.
This reminds me sm of my grandpa even though he never sang or anything. I guess it just reminds me of his soul 😢😢
Same buddy I miss pops
this song hurts so much, its so beautiful
bawled on the spot
balled??
We ballin
Fuck it we ball
i miss my brother. he’s currently in prison, we used to be so close. he has a thick southern accent and this brings back so, so many memories. ❤
i hope i can hold onto them even though he has changed for the worse
saw steve come out at adrianne’s show and play this and a few other tunes together 🥺 “sleep in your car while you’re driving” is my fav lyric 🤧
This song always make me feel so bittersweet, its probably the point but still, going for walks during sunsets while this is playing in the background is surreal
2:43 am july 5th. saw some pretty nice fireworks today!!! or rather yesterday
8:36 PM July 9th. Did my first cheerleading practice of the season!
thats so sweet
me too!! :)) it was my first 4th of july haha, the fireworks reminded me of this cover lol
i need this in my system. listening to it isn't enough, i need this running through my veins.
I love my dad so much
Your dad will always love you as well ❤
this is what my childhood sounds like. please release this on Spotify
It's on Spotify! Just released as an Episode instead of a song :)
i am sick in bed, saw this randomly in my recommended, and watching it has soothed me like nothing else
So beautiful. Makes me cry every time. Don't know why this version is so much more emotional and raw than the original. Love the little harmonies thrown in. This is magical
I miss my grandma. I don’t wanna talk about anything.
me too honey, i hope you’re okay :(
shes watching over you in heaven. More proud of you than you could ever imagine, stay strong.
i need this on spotify
i miss you grandpy. it’s been four weeks but it feels like yesterday without you. i miss you so much and love you forever and always.
i love how it’s her dad singing the song she wrote. shits beautiful man.
it’s not her dad
Sister left to uni the other week listening to this now and until the five years will remind me of her.
This video made me realize really how much I love music. This video is so beautiful. The singing and the playing is so beautiful. But also the looks to the camera or the smiles every now and then. The way that the camera person joins in to sing at times. I can tell these people are such genuine, beautiful souls. Thank you for sharing this. Beautiful cover. (also the comments are so sweet I’m so happy this exists)
the camera person is actually adrianne!! yes, this whole cover is just beautiful
i cry every time i hear this
10/10 would cry to this again
i am both irrevocably destroyed and whole again
This is really nice. so proud i am of you. greetings from Austria🌞
I can never listen to this song without thinking about him and how safe he made me feel before. We'll never be the same but I'm so glad of the feelings we once shared :)
The way her voice blends in is perfect
His voice is like a warm embrace
I come back to this video every time I feel like I don’t want to exist as me. It makes the world feel peaceful, it makes me feel better. I still cry every time.
Someone please put this on Spotify
I keep coming back. Beautiful cover. Beautiful people. Thank you
This is so beautiful. It breaks my heart knowing I never got this love from my parents, but makes me happy so many do and gives me hope that someday maybe I can find this love in others.
I miss my grandpa
he's with you always
I would love to listen this on Spotify 😭
best 4 minutes of my life im bawling my eyes out
I came here from Adrienne's instagram post. This is such a beautiful cover, It feels like a lullaby where I can just sit here and listen forever. Thank you, Steve Fisher💛
I cry thinking about all the people and things i’ve been lucky enough to experience
I cannot live without watching this video at least once a day. Thank you.
Are you still watching this at least once a day :D or did you grow out of it hmmm
sent this to my dad. this is a song that moves through time, through generations, through any human that loves. to be the child, the father, the lover, the daughter, all at once 💔
This cover is so beautifully calming!! It feels like getting a warm hug from someone before saying goodbye 😢
Something about it being performed by an older man adds so much new context to the song. Reminds me of how Johnny Cash covered Hurt and changed the song so beautifully just because it came from his perspective
My 20 year old son sent me this song today.
I was floored by its beauty. He is in austin texas since graduating and im in Jacksonville Fl. Still i feel like he is beside me hearing this. Ty
I'm sorry... somehow listening to Adrianne Lenker via my I pad and Sonos speaker, as of late, I have been touched by her music, in such a beautiful way... I play her music and have done so, for awhile, now, to many grandchildren, to get them down and ready for rest.... just magical and wonderful... such poetry
this is making me miss someone that i couldn't even begin to truly name, very emotional rn
I adore this version- he still manages to keep it as vulnerable and soft as Adrienne does!! A beautiful cover❤
I miss the people I was too shy to glance at on the train
why do you miss someone if you would only glance at them
I feel this heavy
this is making me cry
me too. nice pfp, also.
This is the best cover I’ve ever heard, of any song
Staring down the barrel of the hot sun
Shining with the sheen of a shotgun (shotgun)
Carol has a little if we need some
Joa has a ride if we wanna come
Hanging your jeans with a clothes pin
Skin still wet, still on my skin
Mango in your mouth, juice dripping
Shoulder of your shirtsleeve slipping
Christmas Eve with your mother and sis
Don't wanna fight but your mother insists
Dog's white teeth slice right into my fist
Drive to the ER and they put me on risk
Grocery store list, now you get this
Unchecked calls and messages
I don't wanna be the owner of your fantasy
I just wanna be a part of your family
And I don't wanna talk about anything
I don't wanna talk about anything
I wanna kiss, kiss your eyes again
Wanna witness your eyes looking
I don't wanna talk about anyone
I don't wanna talk about anyone
I wanna sleep in your car while you're driving
Lay on your lap when I'm crying
Circle of pine and red oak
Circle of moss and fire smoke
Fan on the ceiling like a wheel spoke
Push the clutch and I pull the choke
Wanna listen to the sound of you blinking
Wanna listen to your hands soothe
Listen to your heart beating
Listen to the way you move
But I don't wanna talk about anything
I don't wanna talk about anything
I wanna kiss, kiss your eyes again
Wanna witness your eyes looking
I don't wanna talk about anyone
I don't wanna talk about anyone
Wanna sleep in your car while you're driving
Lay in your lap when I'm crying
Weren't we the stars in Heaven?
Weren't we the salt in the sea?
Dragon in the new warm mountain
Didn't you believe in me?
Yeah, you held me the whole way through
When I couldn't say the words like you
I was scared, indigo, but I wanted to
I was scared, indigo, but I wanted to
And I don't wanna talk about anything
I don't wanna talk about anything
I wanna kiss, kiss your eyes again
Wanna witness your eyes looking
I don't wanna talk about anyone
I don't wanna talk about anyone
I wanna sleep in your car while you're driving
Lay in your lap when I'm crying
if you don't start to fully cry at the 3 minute mark and on until the song finishes then I don't know what to tell ya
the well has run dry
brought me to tears instantly
i wish my dad was still alive
I wish your dad was still alive
I wish your dad was still alive
I wish both of ours were ❤
He is watching over you, protecting you. Im sure he loves you dearly and you guys will meet again. He misses you too
