My wife passed in June this year and this let's me hop a train with her every time I hear it. Thank u.
I'm so sorry for your loss Lee. 💚
I want to hug this song.
this song is one of the best things that’s ever happened to my soul
you prolly dont give a shit but if you are bored like me atm then you can stream all the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my brother these days =)
@Leroy Amir Definitely, have been watching on Instaflixxer for months myself =)
This band reminded me that I still have soul. Thank You Big Thief!
Absolutely gorgeous songwriting with a tightly knit band. The most sonically interesting organic band out the there right now. Beautiful.
Gregory Frandano organic is such a perfect way to describe them
YES🙏🏼
She's definitely from another planet. That's how you end a song, it gave me chills.
The lyrics are so tender, like a hug -- "you don't need to know why, when you cry" -- radiant. 💖
They are so underrated. Great folk/alternative song, and incredible sound and band.
This is the best version by far! She’s such a good singer live
going back home to the great lakes. THAT LINE IS MY FAVORIte
my god buck's harmonies are on such fragile beautiful notes it just rips right through me
I love the song, but c'mon... their voices are objectively terrible.
I'm dead. I mean, we are taught to interpret voices certain ways but what does that really mean or matter in terms of musical expression?
I know where you're coming from but I like that their voices sound like they're connected to that person's being rather than contorting to a standard humans created.
Listening to this song while being two blocks away from Lake Superior just hits a bit different... Hits right at home.
Caroline, Caroline
I never could leave you to struggle
Hold the line, hold the line
I'll be there on the double
In time, in time
Everyone does see trouble
And you don't need to know why when you cry
You don't need to know why
You don't need to know why when you cry
Violet's eyes, Violet plays
Going back home to the Great Lakes
Where the cattail sways
With the lonesome loon
Riding that train in late June
With the windows wide by my side
With the windows wide
With the windows wide by my side
And the clusters fell, like an empty bell
Meteor shower at the motel
Where the empty space is a saving grace
Making good time and doing well
Still the question sings, like Saturn's rings
Maybe she knows and she won't tell
But you don't need to know why when you cry
You don't need to know why
You don't need to know why when you cry
And I find you there in your country flair
Middle of the river in a lawn chair
With your wrinkled hands and your silver hair
Leaving here soon and you know where
To where the cattail sways with the lonesome loon
You'll be riding that train in late June
With the windows wide by your side
With the windows wide
With the windows wide by your side
You don't need to know why
You don't need to know why when you cry
Prolly my fave track on UFOF. I just bought a 12 string. Will be here in a few days. This might be the first song I attempt.
Nice! I imagine you'd enjoy the vid Charlie Parr-Over the Red Cedar from The Current performance
You know if Adrianne wasn't missing that tooth this song wouldn't sound as good.
She so angry, she so great!
our r.e.m.
the sodium lights LMAO.
I didn’t think of it like that but you’re right
I can't not comment how much I love this and all this band's stuff
I think 1,000 of these views are mine. I love this performance!
The ending - LOL.
I'm in love with this song. Just perfect
This is a fantastic recording of this... maybe the best live version on yt
Could not love this more
just stunning.
Just wonderful
So amazing, on repeat
I hope i will some day in real life experience the peace i experience when I listen to this song
My friend, this IS real life. You've done it.
Matt Young i love that, you’re totally right!
They are reinventing great music !!
Beautiful!
This band is amazing.
Incredible. Real music.
Such talent
She’s such a badass.
Adrianne and Big Thief are at a higher level !!
Absolutely fabulous !! :))
Beautiful song
Dolan Pls upvoted mainly for your display name.

am i crazy or is adrianne playing a 12 string with all the doubles removed except the low E? thats really smart actually.
I thought I was seeing the same thing, but it's definitely a full 12-string. Check the nut at 1:32 or the headstock at 0:50. The lighting's playing tricks, it seems.
Ringtail possum sounding off outside my bedroom window in late April..Australian Autumn, Big Thief.
I am ashamed of the subliminal jokes, regarding the "hatchet mark" on her head, which tainted my first impression.
Because, when I began to really listen to the way this song spoke to my soul, I was drawn in, to a place that was truly blissful.
I'd write more good things about this band, but, I really just want to listen to it again. 😀

My god . How beautiful . Only matched by Karen Dalton’s ‘ something on your mind “!
My name is caroline and i am crying
Where are you guys now? I hope you’re all doin fine love yer work
beautiful drumming
he looks a lot like Mick Fleetwood
Very The REplacements ending
Drummer's got the Craig McClune posture. Mad props
this is the song that made me start running (can't listen to it without wanting to). Big Thief's gettin me fit
does anyone know what tuning she plays this in?
Prefer this to the Lp version. Vocal sounds more confident. Amazing band
good song eh
Man I love Big Thief, but why do Buck Meek's solos always remind me of Sax Man by Lonely Island?
John R your comment actually makes me like buck meek as a guitar player. I now crack up whenever he “rips it”
Fuck I want bucks shirt in this video. I need that shirt!!!!!
wholy fuk! : D
What a fucking ballsy ending
That would be the meteor shower.
how do i make a heart emoji
Copy paste it :)
❤️

3:30 um....
Right?
Three people don't like this? Freaks.
Where is that fucking banjo????????????????????
That was a cover.
I really wanna know what the story is with that ending... seems pretty aborted no?
In an interview they said the songs in the album Two Hands are already well finished, perfectly produced songs. On the other hand, songs in the UFOF album are more stripped down, leaving the band with more space to play around live. Cattails is in UFOF, so maybe the ending is just improvisation.
I see, well yeah it's improv, at least for the most part, with adrianne playing the main progression, they're jamming out the ending as one would, possibly doing an extended ending. But I'm talking about the abrupt end of that and the lack of continuing that extension, at around 3:30 adrianne just suddenly puts a stop to that haha like she wasn't having it or wasn't digging it, just starts fucking around in an intentionally unfitting way to end the song essentially, I'm not just not sure what the deal is there, seems weird and not like how you'd imagine they would plan to end the song?
@@MaddestMousse seemed to me very much a playful sort of "i'm kinda bored with this right now; let me do something silly and fun" from adrianne haha. Which I get, 'cause it gets a little boring, I imagine, to play the same material repeatedly without mixing it up now and again. Sometimes that ends up working well & sometimes it doesn't; comes with the territory 🤷🏻♀️
@@sweetpeabee4983 hmm yeah okay, now that you say that it's easier for me to try and see it in that light haha but i originally and sort of still kinda see it as like an abortion of the song cause she wasn't liking the meandering or the direction it was going into at the end, admittedly it wasn't all coming together like it probably could have. i like how you put it though, that's quite likely the case and i would like to think so, a more playful instance of just "hey this is getting boring i'm gonna just get silly and fuck around, the song is done now" lol. Cause yeah you definitely said it, it can for sure get boring playing the same stuff over and over again, ya gotta mix it up sometimes! and it doesn't always sound good or work but sometimes it does and sounds amazing. makes you wonder if said action of Adrianne was the mix-up or a reaction to the mix-up that maybe wasn't working? haha. thanks for the reply!! \m/
Great song by Adrianne. Always think she deserves a better band though. James on drums is effective, but Buck can neither do backing vocals nor match the guitar that is on the original recording. Wasted talent.
DONT ABUSE PEOPLES LIVES.
