I love how the albums starts with "Going through the motions as you sing your song / Doesn’t matter who you are or what you've done / Still got to wake up and be someone" and ends with "Baby, don't forget, don't forget it's our song / I'll be the thing that lives in the dream when it's gone." The album departs while leaving the self-examination of the listener's roles and what qualifies as defining identity-- all lead by Angel Olsen's explorations through each track. That's song-writing equivalent to a well-constructed novel.
What I like the most about her music is being so different than the usual pop song of today's music. You wait for the usual construction with tension building, a bridge and a chorus line and it's not happening. To reduce a song to such a minimalistic form and in the same time transmit so much emotion and expression is very hard to achieve. Her style is just excellent, plain and simple.
All those people, they don't see me Baby, don't leave Please believe me Couldn't love 'em if I tried to No one understands me like you I'm not playing anymore I'm not playing anymore Did all that before I'm not playing anymore Love of the chase Love of love What is it my heart's made of? Don't you know you'll never have a part Please don't start It hurts to start Dreaming, dreaming Oh Again Again Again After it all ends We'll be just like friends Hey, what was that passing us by? Hey, it was only something in my eyes You can go on home, you got what you need Take my heart and put it up on your sleeve Tear it up so they can all sing along Live out your life I'll never tell you you're wrong Baby, don't forget, don't forget it's our song I'll be the thing that lives in the dream when it's gone I'll be the thing that lives in the dream when it's gone
Dropped out of elementary school? That's when I learned about fractions, and how to write a proper sentence, which clearly you lack the knowledge of both.
First you say you don't have to talk to me...then you say you have to be here talking to me. Do you happen to know what contradictions are, cause they taught that in elementary school too.
Thank you for this masterpiece. One of my favorite songs of all time. Does anyone know where the video is shot? I feel like Angel’s music videos are exactly the type of music videos I would want to make. Especially her frequent driving shots. I love the images created from driving a vehicle. The movement feels like it drives the music and vice versa. The car is probably my favorite place to listen to music in part because of the accompanying visuals.
I believe it's Asheville, NC. She moved to the mountains around this time and currently lives there, I believe. It seems like the east coast with the fall leaves and trees.
Recently found my song bird with her solid gold catalog to lullaby the rest of my 2nd half. The chorus is intriguing, imagine a piano progression from your favorite Daniel Johnston track , but then her soulful (beauty outta the suffer) voice comes thru with a hint of dissonance (echo). Not to confuse her albums, as like-able, as there's artistic originality throughout and to her core.
Angel Olsen stares into the off-camera distance 10x better than any other human ever.
True. With Chelsea Wolfe closing in for the tie.
I would watch an extended staring off at shit set.
lol
"I'll be the thing that lives in the dream when it's gone" is such a powerful line, this song is amazing and the video fits it so perfectly
I don't think this girl has ever made a bad song in her whole life She is Absolutely Amazing

this is the most slept on song on the whole album
Those Were the Days?
I cried so many times on this song. I never expected her to release this one as a single, seriously.
The things she makes me feel. Incredible.
Captain Uterus Mongrel the things she does makes me cry how beautiful it is
The song haha. Also she is attractive.
Hahaha
Captain Uterus Mongrel ummm both!..
Too many beautifully melancholic feelings for this world, yet it keeps spinning...

All those people, they don't see me
Baby, don't leave
Please believe me
Couldn't love 'em if I tried to
No one understands me like you
I'm not playing anymore
I'm not playing anymore
Did all that before
I'm not playing anymore
Love of the chase
Love of love
What is it my heart's made of?
Don't you know you'll never have a part
Please don't start
It hurts to start
Dreaming, dreaming
Oh
Again
Again
Again
After it all ends
We'll be just like friends
Hey, what was that passing us by?
Hey, it was only something in my eyes
You can go on home, you got what you need
Take my heart and put it up on your sleeve
Tear it up so they can all sing along
Live out your life
I'll never tell you you're wrong
Baby, don't forget, don't forget it's our song
I'll be the thing that lives in the dream when it's gone
I'll be the thing that lives in the dream when it's gone
When angel olsen said “hey it was only something in my eyes” i felt that LMFAO 😢😢😢😢
Listening to this song again 7 years later and it reminds me so much of the late great Daniel Johnston!
please don't leave this planet when you transcend into a goddess, Angel.
I just...
Will never get enough of this song
She's so captivating and raw. Even if you don't like this genre, you can relate to this shit.
This album is my favorite one of 2016. A beautiful masterpiece. Thank you.
MY WOMAN is pure gold
Noah late on this comment BUT truer words have never been spoken. After more than a year, I'm ready to call this album a masterpiece. Classic to me.
Song: 10/10

Do you know how fractions work? 10/10=1 100/100=1

I absolutely love this woman.
The ending gives me chills...
This song makes me cry but i also want it embedded into my ears

I'll be the thing that lives in the dream when it's gone.
Fuck that's so beautifully sad
aesthetically pleasing
Man, I was totally destroying the repeat button these days and BANG! - a wild video appears.
this woke something up in me
beautiful
I love how Angel rewards those who wait 2:34
exactly
Stop making such great videos that fill me with goodness. No, just kidding please continue.
I'm afraid of watching this because I know it will break my heart.
She's got a great profile.
This video...those visuals...these vocals...got me fucked up in the most beautiful way 🖤
thanks for shooting this video in Asheville and up on the parkway, I am from the area, and miss it a lot
"Intern" and "Pops" are the perfect opener and closer tracks for My Woman. I wonder if she wrote them with placement in mind?
Absolutely perfect song and album.
this makes me cry, I love it.
Vídeo maravilhoso!
love your music, Angel
*silences*!!!....
favourite song from the album :- )
This is so gorgeous!
Love is not pure. If it were, we could not fail at it. It is up to us to purify love. For if we do that, Love may heal all.
Haunting
"I'll be the thing that lives in the dream when it's gone."
That line struck a chord with me, too. I can somewhat place it. Wanna share?
Please don't start
It hurts to start
Dreaming
Again...
Seeing her live in May. Can't wait.
as usual, she's amazing
Hay algo triste pero atractivo en todo esto. Muy lindo... cual sera la historia que cuenta el video?

What the fuck, UA-cam?
I don't know the trending algorithm but I think it factors number of likes, comments, and number of views in a short amount of time.
