You and I both know There is nothing more to say Chances shutter shining eyes And turn to face away Leaning on the window sill You could write me someday and I think you will We could see the sadness as a gift and still Feel too heavy to hold Snow falling Try to keep from calling Watch the spring turn to winter Fireflies all frozen The seasons go fast Thinking that this one was gonna last Maybe the question was too much to ask Searching for your eyes All I see are blue skies And that old man beats his crooked cane It's time to let go Leaning on the window sill You could write me someday and I bet you will We could see the sadness as a gift and still Feel too heavy to hold The seasons go so fast Thinking that this one was gonna last Maybe the question was too much to ask You and I could see Into the same eternity Every second brimming with a majesty Kiss so sweet, so fine You could hear the music inside my mind And you showed me a place to find Even when I'm old Leaning on the window sill You could write me someday and I hope you will We could see the sadness as a gift and still...
unreal, this woman. never seen anything like it (I spent a long time in music, as recording engineer/producer, live sound, touring, seeing thousands of shows). seriously. my goddess, I'm not slighting these guys, but Dylan and Neil didn't write this many good - and seemingly effortless - songs. Adrianne Lenker is solid fucking GOLD. everything she touches, dreams, thinks, creates. it's nuts. pure, unbridled, poetry...
Nobody is. Nobody. Nobody has, before, either; not like this. It's NUTS. She's written more incredible songs than Bob Dylan or Neil Young did, at her age (30). She pure gold.
Great!
A night later in Boston, they held the audience of 3,500 (including me) rapt.
Just heard this in Boston. Stunningly beautiful. Thank you for sharing
You and I both know
There is nothing more to say
Chances shutter shining eyes
And turn to face away
Leaning on the window sill
You could write me someday and I think you will
We could see the sadness as a gift and still
Feel too heavy to hold
Snow falling
Try to keep from calling
Watch the spring turn to winter
Fireflies all frozen
The seasons go fast
Thinking that this one was gonna last
Maybe the question was too much to ask
Searching for your eyes
All I see are blue skies
And that old man beats his crooked cane
It's time to let go
Leaning on the window sill
You could write me someday and I bet you will
We could see the sadness as a gift and still
Feel too heavy to hold
The seasons go so fast
Thinking that this one was gonna last
Maybe the question was too much to ask
You and I could see
Into the same eternity
Every second brimming with a majesty
Kiss so sweet, so fine
You could hear the music inside my mind
And you showed me a place to find
Even when I'm old
Leaning on the window sill
You could write me someday and I hope you will
We could see the sadness as a gift and still...

I just don’t think anyone is doing it like this woman and this band.
Nobody is. Nobody. Nobody has, before, either; not like this. It's NUTS. She's written more incredible songs than Bob Dylan or Neil Young did, at her age (30). She pure gold.
