Mike Manhattan Exquisite, achingly beautiful. If art is a work appreciated for its beauty and emotional power, this is high art.

lyrics

burn up with the water
floods around the plains
the planets in a rose
who knows what they contain
and my brain is like an orchestra
playing on insane
will you love me like you loved me
in the january rain 

mom and dad and violins
somber country silence
the needle stopped the kicking
the clothes pins on the floor
and my heart is playing hide and seek
wait and count to four
will you love me like you loved me
and i’ll never ask for more 

what did you tell me mary when you were there so sweet and very
full of field and stars you carried all of time
oh and heavens when you looked at me
your eyes were like machinery your hands
were making artifacts in the corner of my mind
monastery monochrome boom balloon machine and oh
diamond rings and gutter bones marching up the mountain with our
aching planning high and smiling cheap drink dark and violent
full of butterflies the violent tenderness the sweet asylum
the clay you find is fortified we felt unfocused fade the line
the sugar rush the constant hush the pushing of the water gush
the marching band when april ran may june bugs fly and push
your old gin jacob with the tired wirey brandy look
here we go round mary in your famous story book 

we overcome the sirens
we look both left and right
i can feel the numbness
accompany my plight
and i know that someday soon i’ll see you
Though now you’re out of sight
and you’ll kiss me like you used to
in the january night 

what did you tell me mary when you were there so sweet and very
full of field and stars you carried all of time
oh and heavens when you looked at me
your eyes were like machinery your hands
were making artifacts in the corner of my mind
monastery monochrome boom balloon machine and oh
diamond rings and gutter bones marching up the mountain with our

aching planning high and smiling cheap drink dark and violent
full of butterflies the violent tenderness the sweet asylum
the clay you find is fortified we felt unfocused fade the line
the sugar rush the constant hush the pushing of the water gush
the marching band when april ran may june bugs fly and push
your old gin jacob with the tired wirey brandy look
here we go round mary in your famous story book

about

Big Thief image

Big Thief Brooklyn, New York

Listening to Big Thief is like the feeling of looking at a dog and suddenly marveling that it is like you but very not like you; when you are accustomed to looking at a dog and thinking 'dog', watching Big Thief is like forgetting the word 'dog' and looking at that naked animal and getting much closer to it and how different it is to you. ... more

I can sadly only choose between anything and dragon eyes for my favorite track, but then I realized it probably is anything. The rest of the album and its instrumental sister album are both amazing and imo her best release thus far. 9/10 angrypizza98
