Big Thief - Little Arrow (Karaoke Version)

Big Thief 2023-12-08 | Karaoke of 'Little Arrow' by Big Thief. Taken from Masterpiece album, reissue via 4AD out now bigthief.ffm.to/masterpiece

Lyrics:
Go little arrow
Shoot like a wave through the tongue of the taro
Bloom every morning
The water, the pepper,
The egg warming
Still play that old reel
From every angle
Pushing the baby
The blood, the tangle
Old light leaking
Is it, could it, was it dreaming?
Still play that old reel
Still play that old reel

Big Thief - Animals (Karaoke Version)

Big Thief 2023-12-08 | Karaoke version of 'Animals' by Big Thief. Taken from 'Masterpiece' album, reissue via 4AD out now. bigthief.ffm.to/masterpiece

Lyrics:
The animals are wonderful
Such a vision in the sun, how they lay low
I catch my breath and count my dough
And i only live to run and i need to go

You and i were born with the same design
Nothing in the world will make you make your mind up oh me

She always knew, she’ll always know
That i loved her oh so well, but i need to go

Big Thief - Masterpiece (Karaoke Version)

Big Thief 2023-12-08 | Karaoke version of 'Masterpiece' by Big Thief. Taken from 'Masterpiece' album, reissue via 4AD out now. bigthief.ffm.to/masterpiece

Lyrics:
Years, days, makes no difference to me babe
You look exactly the same to me
Ain't no time, crossing your legs inside the diner
Raising the coffee to your lips, the steam

You saw the masterpiece, she looks a lot like you
Wrapping her left arm around your right
Ready to walk you through the night

You whispered to a restless ear, "can you get me out of here?
This place smells like piss and beer, can you get me out?"
You were asking me, how to get you free
I only know the recipe to roam

You saw the masterpiece, she looks a lot like you
Wrapping her left arm around your right
Ready to walk you through the night

Old stars, filling up my throat
You gave them to me when i was born, now they're coming out
Laying there on the hospital bed your eyes were narrow, blue and red
You took a draw of breath and said to me

You saw the masterpiece, she looks a lot like me
Wrapping my left arm around your right
Ready to walk you through the night

Old friends, old mothers, dogs and brothers
There's only so much letting go you can ask someone to do
So i'll keep you by my side, i will not give you to the tide
I'll even walk you in my stride, Marie

Cause i saw the masterpiece, she looks a lot like you
Wrapping your left arm around my right
Ready to walk me through the night

Big Thief - Lorraine (Karaoke Version)

Big Thief 2023-12-08 | Karaoke version of 'Lorraine' by Big Thief. Taken from 'Masterpiece' album, reissue via 4AD out now. bigthief.ffm.to/masterpiece

Lyrics:
When I saw the first time, the thunder came crashing
Your new blue eyeliner caught my distraction
And like we were two lovers forming from friction
Your mouth caught my ear with such perfect diction
And there I let you tie my hands back and take me

O Lorraine on a Saturday morning
O Lorraine with your soft, burning hands

We fell asleep in the back of the warehouse
I woke to you kneading and covering my mouth
And like we were hummingbirds screaming at ravens
You started to move me from fact into fable
And there I let you take me under the table

O Lorraine on a Saturday morning
O Lorraine with your soft, burning hands

Big Thief - Velvet Ring (Karaoke Version)

Big Thief 2023-12-08 | Karaoke version of 'Velvet Ring' by Big Thief. Taken from 'Masterpiece' album, reissue via 4AD out now. bigthief.ffm.to/masterpiece

Lyrics:
Shoved in the kitchen of a city tomb
The light would flicker like a violent womb
The night was thicker than a smokey fume
Liza waited in the room

Benny loved her like he loved no one
The way she’d laugh and hold a smoking gun
The way she always said what’s done is done
And he was not the only one

Love is a gentle thing
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring

A victim healer with a sharp sharp blade
Benny knew how she was getting paid
Her water broke and they would have to wade

When he knew that she was fooling
He faced the mirror to avoid the thing said
We’re outta money and we sold the bling
And i just wanna take you home, i just wanna take you home

Love is a gentle thing
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
Yours its thicker than a velvet ring

And i am wandering
I am wandering

Big Thief - Real Love (Karaoke Version)

Big Thief 2023-12-08 | Karaoke version of 'Real Love' by Big Thief. Taken from 'Masterpiece' album, reissue via 4AD out now. bigthief.ffm.to/masterpiece

Lyrics:
Having a bad week?
Let me touch your cheek
I will always love you

Having your face hit
Having your lip split
By the one who loves you

Real love, real love
Real love makes your lungs black
Real love is a heart attack

Showing your mother
To any other, letting them touch her
Looking up to her, watching her do her makeup and hair
Real love, real love
Real love makes your lungs black
Real love is a heart attack

Cry like a bird, fly like a baby
Mamma got drunk and daddy went crazy
If your speech slurs, if you feel shaky, meet me out back
I'll be there waiting

Riding in the back seat
Watching the spit fly and the hummingbird cry
O mamma, o papa
O mamma, o papa
How much blood is worth the draw?

Real love, real love
Real love makes your lungs black
Real love is a heart attack

Hummingbird watching
Watching her young thing
Grow up so fast
Looking up to her
Watching her do her makeup and hair

Big Thief - Interstate (Karaoke Version)

Big Thief 2023-12-08 | Karaoke version of 'Interstate' by Big Thief. Taken from 'Masterpiece' album, reissue via 4AD out now. bigthief.ffm.to/masterpiece

Lyrics:
Though you let her down
You don't need to carry
What's far from here is not so scary

Though you cannot see her
You don't have to worry
She needs your hand though your eyes are blurry

She is getting thin
You are growing gray and white
And you don't know how to tell her as you say goodnight

Interstate, poison freeway
Takes you down the line
You could go back in time

You could hold her close
At night in your slumber
Dream her as a child when you loved her mother

Now you're in her house
She is smiling in a dress
She is now a woman
You are just a guest

Interstate, poison freeway
Takes you down the line
You could go back in time

Big Thief - Humans (Karaoke Version)

Big Thief 2023-12-08 | Karaoke version of 'Humans' by Big Thief. Taken from 'Masterpiece' album, reissue via 4AD out now. bigthief.ffm.to/masterpiece

Lyrics:
Humans in the honest light
Love is a cold infection alright
Why in the morn of one bad night
Do i fight your touch like a fever

Human man you loosen my mind
Loosen my hand from the beckoning knife
How in the fortress of your eye
Do you lay me down a believer?

I can't see me i can't see you
I can't see me i can't see you
I can't see me i can't see you
I can't see me i can't see you

I’m fooling my heart
Fooling my heart
I'm fooling my heart
Fooling my heart

Big Thief - Vegas (Karaoke Version)

Big Thief 2023-12-08 | Karaoke version of 'Vegas' by Big Thief. Taken from 'Masterpiece' album, reissue via 4AD out now. bigthief.ffm.to/masterpiece

Lyrics:
Holed up in vegas for only one week
And I caught you tongue and cheek by the side of the road
Of an automobile expo
Turned up the volume and you started to weep
And I thought you a lamb

Even in the sigh of a headlight sea
Your tears were salty ocean
You opened up the engine and listened to it sing
And I called you a lamb

You knew your daddy until you were thirteen
And then he took his leave for the likes of the land
And the far off salty ocean
We shook our bodies and we started to scream
And I asked you again

Tell me when we grow up do we ever go home?
You said home becomes the highway

We ordered movies on a motel screen until you needed me warm inside of your mouth
And my skin was salty ocean
And then you recommended I'm a woman to keep

Big Thief - Parallels (Karaoke Version)

Big Thief 2023-12-08 | Karaoke version of 'Parallels' by Big Thief. Taken from 'Masterpiece' album, reissue via 4AD out now. bigthief.ffm.to/masterpiece

Lyrics:
Don't i make you feel alive?
Don't i give you a good home?
In a way i know you're always by my side
But today i think i've always been a long way

One hand to keep me warm
One hand to hold my chin
To be inside your arms,
It's all i'm asking

Caterpillar on the floor
Can you teach me to transform
I'll step right in and cocoon 'til i’m born
And I can't say that i'll miss my human form much

One hand to keep me warm
One hand to hold my chin
To be inside your arms
It's all i'm asking

I see all parallels
I see all parallels
I see all parallels
I see all parallels

Big Thief - Paul (Karaoke Version)

Big Thief 2023-12-08 | Karaoke version of 'Paul' by Big Thief. Taken from 'Masterpiece' album, reissue via 4AD out now. bigthief.ffm.to/masterpiece

Lyrics:
Oh the last time I saw Paul
I was horrible and almost let him in
But I stopped and caught the wall
And my mouth got dry so all I did was take him for a spin

Yeah we hopped inside my car
And I drove in circles 'round the freight train yard
And he turned the headlights off
Then he pulled the bottle out
Then he showed me what was love

I'll be your morning bright goodnight shadow machine
I'll be your record player baby if you know what i mean
I'll be your real tough cookie with the whiskey breath
I'll be a killer and a thriller and the cause of our death

In the blossom of the months
I was sure that i'd get driven off with thought
So I swallowed all of it,
As I realised there was no one who could kiss away my shit

I'll be your morning bright goodnight shadow machine
I'll be your record player baby if you know what i mean
I'll be your real tough cookie with the whiskey breath
I'll be a killer and a thriller and the cause of our death

Paul, i know you said that you'd take me any way i came or went
But i'll push you from my brain
See, you're gentle baby
I couldn't stay, i'd only bring you pain

I was your starry-eyed lover and the one that you saw
I was your hurricane rider and the woman you'd call
We were just two moonshiners on the cusp of a breath
And i've been burning for you baby since the minute I left

Big Thief - Randy (Karaoke Version)

Big Thief 2023-12-08 | Karaoke version of 'Randy' by Big Thief. Taken from 'Masterpiece' album, reissue via 4AD out now. bigthief.ffm.to/masterpiece

Lyrics:
Oh randy leave it up to me
I'll pour the water if you bring the tree
Nothing looks that real to me
I only see two or three colors

What's it like to breathe in
Find a friend and gather with him?
I'm a wolf in a city of women
You only know the light is on

Will you plant that sycamore baby?
I'll watch it grow from the second floor
I haven't left the house much lately
And you don't come around here anymore

And all those lovers in their velvet gowns
I wanna take that trip uptown
Will you tell them to let me out
When you can see the light is on?

Found a horse hair in my food
There's a raccoon in my room
There are bluejays all in bloom
All along the cement floor
Randy, they say i've gone insane
So could you take me dancing in the pouring rain?
You don't know me but you know my name
Will you say it till the light is gone?

Big Thief - Born For Loving You (Lyric Video)

Big Thief 2023-09-13 | 'Born For Loving You'' by Big Thief, out now: bigthief.ffm.to/bornforlovingyou
A limited 7" will be released October 20th, available to pre-order now: bigthief.ffm.to/bornforlovingyou

Lyrics:

After the first stars formed
After the dinos fell
After the first light flickered outta this motel
1991, mama pushin’ like hell
Tangled in blood and vine

From my first steps, to my first words
To waddlin’ around lookin’ at birds
To the teenage nightmare, mine and yours
Thank God we made it through

Cause I was born for lovin’ you
Just somethin’ I was made to do
Doesn’t matter what dreams come true
I was born for loving you

Now we’re here, but where is here?
Sometimes we both disappear
Into that shadow box of fear
That tiny old abyss

From the first kiss, to the first fuck
I don’t think it’s just good luck
Take me to the back of your pickup truck
Show me a thing or two

Cause I was born for lovin’ you
That’s just something I was made to do
Doesn’t matter what dreams come true
I was born for lovin’ you

When the hard times come
And the hard times stay
When they stick around, and won’t go away
When it seems there’s nothing you can do or say
Nowhere you can turn

From the last breath of my first death
To this lifetime and lifetimes left
Congratulations, no regrets
It’s true

I was born for lovin’ you
Just something I was made to do
Doesn’t matter what dreams come true
I was born for lovin’ you
Just something I was made to do
Doesn’t matter what dreams come true
I was born for loving you

Big Thief - Vampire Empire (Lyric Video)

Big Thief 2023-07-19 | 'Vampire Empire' by Big Thief, out now: bigthief.ffm.to/vampireempire
7" will be released October 20th, available to pre-order now: bigthief.ffm.to/vampireempire

Lyrics:

Watching TV tired, bleeding on the bed
The milk has just expired, all the leaves are dead
I’m not quiet, you’ve been quiet, just receiving what you said
Reeling, feeding, feeling filled by everything you fed
I see you as you see yourself through all the books you read
Overwhelmed with guilt and realizing the disease

You give me chills
I’ve had it with the drills
I am nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills
I am empty ‘til she fills
Alive until she kills
In her vampire empire I am
Falling, yeah
Falling, yeah

I see you there rejecting all your earthly power
Protecting and dissecting ‘til you’ve emptied every hour
We jump into the pond then we come under the shower
You lay upon my pillow and you open like a flower
I wanted to see you naked, I wanted to hear you scream
Wanted to kiss your skin and your everything
I wanted to be your woman, I wanted to be your man
I wanted to be the one that you could understand

You give me chills
I’ve had it with the drills
I am nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills
I am empty ‘til she fills
Alive until she kills
In her vampire empire I am
Falling, yeah
Falling, yeah

Well, I walked into your dagger for the last time
It’s like trying to start a fire with matches in the snow
Where You can’t seem to hold me, can’t seem to let me go
So I can’t find surrender, and I can’t keep control
You turn me inside out and then you want the outside in
You spin me all around and then you ask me not to spin
You say you wanna be alone and you want children
You wanna be with me, you wanna be with him

You give me chills
I’ve had it with the drills
I am nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills
I am empty ‘til she fills
Alive until she kills
In her vampire empire I am
Falling, yeah
Falling, yeah

Lyrics:
Red moon rising like a fire in me
So many questions, she asks them all to me
I have to answer most curiously
Scarlet angel
I am too small to see
Earn earn, shuffle round the big city
Burning the rubber down,
Crossing the hot concrete
I’m gonna leave town, there is someone to meet
She turns her head around a full 360

Bedroom rising from an old growth tree
Bring out the sawmill
Cutting the twelve inch beams
Building a pattern a reservoir to fill with dreams
Rings like saturn, telling their old stories

Windmill turn and turn eternally,
What do you yearn for
Where do you long to be?
I’ve been here before looking at the wild country
Opening the screen door, talking with Diane Lee

(That’s my grandma!!!)

Radio singin’ from the corner of the kitchen
I’ve got the oven on I got the onions wishin’ they hadn’t made me cry
Filling the sink with dishes
Lettin’ em air dry
Waitin’ for the wind’s permission

Too many movies got me shivering and shy
Turning the lights out glisten’ in the owl’s eye
Glimmer like lightning
Under the violet sky, shimmer like diamonds
Watching the red moon rise

Lyrics:
I tried to tell you,
Didn’t know how to stay
You believe she can see through
Cutting at the silent clay
A relief, beckon deep blue
Fettered in the magnet sun
Eat the gun as it feeds you
Spitting up the oxygen
Once again

Once again,
Empty horses
Gallop through the violet door
Follow red, crooked courses
Shadows on the moonlit floor
O my stars
Winged creatures gathering in silken height
Like the last human teachers

Once again,
We must bleed new
Even as the hours shake
Crystal blood like a dream true
A ripple in the wound and wake
You believe, I believe too
That you are the river of light
Who I love that I cling to
In the belly of the empty night

From the 31st floor
Of the simulation swarm
With the drone of fluorescence
Flicker, fever, fill the form
With a warm gush
Now I wanna touch
Like we never could before
I’d fly to you tomorrow I’m not
Fighting in this war
I wanna drop my arms and take your arms
And walk you to the shore

I remember building an energy shield
In your room, like a temple,
Swallows in the windless field
Very thin, with your mother
Tall as a pale green tree
Very wild, bright as winter
Rising with a prism key
And a child to deliver
Tangled in the blood and vine
The first little angel

Little Andy, soft in your newborn skin
Only one, little Andy, will you return again
I believe we can renew
And you could be my brother
Once again, fall asleep with our backs against each other
You believe, I believe too
That you are the river of light who I love
That I sing to in the belly of the empty night

From the 31st floor
Of the simulation swarm
With the drone of fluorescence
Flicker, fever, fill the form
With a warm gush
Now I wanna touch
Like we never could before
I’d fly to you tomorrow I’m not
Fighting in this war
I wanna drop my arms and take your arms
And walk you to the shore
I’d fly to you tomorrow I’m not
Fighting in this war
I wanna drop my arms
And take your arms

Lyrics:
Blue lightning was an autograph
Signin’ up the sky
To the question I had to ask
She only answered “why”
Angelia took a photograph
The moment had to die
Years later like an epitaph
We read it and we cry
This mornin’ I went to have a bath
The water ran dryClear warnin’ has it come at last
The time to say goodbye
Can we make love, can we hold fast
I really wanna try

Two-eyed lie Is it fight or fly
I wanna be the shoelace that you tie
Until the end will you be my friend
I wanna be the wrinkle in your eye
Yeah I wanna be the vapor gets you high

Blue heron now you’re scarin’ me
You circle and dive
Blue angel yeah you’re in my dreams
Swearin’ every night
And a spider just beside her, larger than a hill
And it’s plain to see if she don’t comfort me
The rattlesnake will

Two-eyed lie Is it fight or fly
I wanna be the wrinkle in your eye
Until the end will you be my friend
I wanna be the shoelace that you tie
Yeah i wanna be the vapor gets you high
Two-eyed lie Is it fight or fly?
I wanna be the shoelace that you tie‘
til the end will you be my friend
I wanna be the mountain kiss the sky
Yeah I wanna be the vapor gets you high
Yeah I wanna feel so happy that I cry
Yeah I wanna be the shoelace that you tie
Yeah I wanna live forever til’ I die
Yeah I wanna live forever til’ I die
Yeah I

Big Thief - The Only Place (Official Audio)

Big Thief 2022-02-21 | 'The Only Place' by Big Thief is taken from new album 'Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You', out now via 4AD. Listen to the album here: bigthief.ffm.to/dnwmibiy

Lyrics:
What if all the worlds in space
Would melt into one single place
And intertwine the human race
With other kinds?
The atom is an empty vase
A vehicle to know embrace
The way you feel
The way you taste
It multiplies

So much to share
So much to share

When all material scatters
And ashes amplify
The only place that matters
Is by your side

What if all the time between
The words we say and what we mean
Would roll as softly as a stream
That we could ride?

We’d ride the bend from source to mouth
I want a friend from north to south
To build that question as a house
Where we’d reside

So much to share
So much to share

When all material scatters
And ashes amplify
The only place that matters
Is by your side

When all material scatters
And ashes amplify
The only place that matters
Is by your side

Big Thief 2022-02-20 | 'Love Love Love' by Big Thief is taken from new album 'Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You', out now via 4AD. Listen to the album here: bigthief.ffm.to/dnwmibiy

Lyrics:
I already died
I’m singing from the other side
Underneath love
Avoidance and pride
I look you in the face and lie
I tell you I want your love
You’re the cigarette in my fist
You are so hard to resist
I can’t help but breathe your love
When I’m scared to die alone that’s when I call you on the phone
Tell you that I need your love

Love love love
Love love love love
Love love love

Frailty and fragile words
You tell me a lot of words
You tell me all about your love
And I feel whatI hear you say
I don’t talk the same way
Cause that don’t feel like love
As the dog opens his eyes
As the blue crow flies
I’m going to meet my love
I already died
I’m calling from the otherside
Underneath love
There’s a bottle out in the sea
With a message inside from me
Saying “Release my love”

Release my love, my love
I’m dreaming of release, my love
Release my love, my love
Release my love
Release, my love

It’s a moving operation
I’m getting off at this station I’m leaving your love
I’m scared to die alone
I call you on the phone
Watch me bleed your love

Love love love
Love, love love love
Love, love love love
Love love love
Love love love
Love love love
Love love love
Love love love love love
Love love love love

Release my love, my love
Release my love, my love

Big Thief 2022-02-19 | '12,000 Lines' by Big Thief is taken from new album 'Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You', out now via 4AD. Listen to the album here: bigthief.ffm.to/dnwmibiy

Lyrics:
Cross twelve thousand lines
Looking for your face
Only to find not a trace
Even the memory of your mouth
Tries to disappear
Little lights turn into spheres
Blue mountain In the rear view
Some nights barely breathing at all
Waiting for my woman to call
Cross twelve letters down
Found the longest word
This morning I’d heard
Somebody said they saw you ‘round
1st and 23rd
Blue feathers in your hairdo
Some nights barely breathing at all
Waiting for my woman to call
Maple, cherry leaves start to fall
Waiting for my woman to call Sweet honey stirring in my tea, stirring me
Forgiveness, all the money in the world
Won’t buy it
Some nights barely breathing at all
Waiting for my woman to call

Big Thief - Promise is a Pendulum (Official Audio)

Big Thief 2022-02-18 | 'Promise is a Pendulum' by Big Thief is taken from new album 'Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You', out now via 4AD. Listen to the album here: bigthief.ffm.to/dnwmibiy

Lyrics:
I could never build the ether
Or the grass overgrown
Could never build the river
With a mouthful of foam
I could never build the winter
With her cold tears of glitter

I’ve been listening to the red oak
The acorn she cries
Listening to the white birch
The paper she dries
I’ve been listening to the frogs joke
Listening to the firesmoke

I can never tell you now
What I had often said before
Because promise is a pendulum
Just swinging at the door
And I’m not saying I’m not jealous
Or scared anymoreI’m just saying

I could never build a rainbow
Or any kind of flower
Could never make a sparrow
Or a meteor shower
Could never build an earthworm
Never make the earth turn

I’ve been listening to the laughing
Of the fox down the trail
Clasping to the listening of the moss to the snail
The shimmer of the beech leaves
As the wind does a big sneeze

I could never tell you now
What I had often said before
Because promise is a pendulum
Just swinging at the door
And I’m not saying I’m not jealous
Or scared anymoreI’m just saying

I could never build the shadow
Between your cheek and your eye
Could never make a freckle or the warm breath you sigh
The canopy of lashes
With the softness of ashes

I’ve been listening to the memory
The way that it was
Listening to the echo of whys and because
Listening to the echo
Telling me to let go

I could never tell you now
What I had often said before
Because promise is a pendulum
Just hanging at the door
And I’m not saying I’m not jealous
Or scared anymore
I’m just saying, saying

Big Thief - Wake Me Up to Drive (Official Audio)

Big Thief 2022-02-17 | 'Wake Me Up to Drive' by Big Thief is taken from new album 'Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You', out now via 4AD. Listen to the album here: bigthief.ffm.to/dnwmibiy

Lyrics:
Exit on a whim
Hopefully we find it again
Tired of turning back
Let’s keep on moving down the track
And if the horse lies down

There’s a push just a mile uptown
If the horse lies down
Wake me up to drive wake me up to drive
Even if I’m tired I don’t wanna miss the ride

Wake me up to drive wake me up to drive
Even if I’m tired I don’t wanna miss the ride
Hand upon my skin
Warm me up and calm me down
I like to watch your chin
Tracing the familiar sound
Of the famous song
Put one on let’s sing along
To the famous song

Wake me up to drive wake me up to drive
Even if I’m tired I don’t wanna miss the ride
Wake me up to drive wake me up to drive
Even if I’m tired I don’t wanna miss the ride

Vacancy is none
The same idea from everyone We never plan ahead
We take the gamble on instead
And if they turn us down
Find a warm bed in the next town
If they turn us down
Wake me up to drive wake me up to drive

Even if I’m tired I don’t wanna miss the ride
Wake me up to drive wake me up to drive
Even if I’m tired I don’t wanna miss the ride

Lyrics:
Leave the bed unmade
Draw the light green shade
Start the microwave
Dried roses

Cradle, yeah she does
Lights the fire because
Window frost
Heat loss
Dried roses

Steep the black coffee
Set the plates
Pour the tea
Three for her, three for me
Dried roses
Sleepily she walks
Gradually she talks
With the geese she flocks
Dried roses

Afternoon, midnight
Mornin’s what she likes
Fly the broom, see the moon
Dried roses

Here I go there I am
All alone in the pan
In the silence again
Dried roses

Half dead
Half awake
Make a pie bake a cake
Which road will you take
Dried roses

Goodness her goodness me
Goodness eternity
Out you go in ya be
Dried roses
So leave the bed unmade
Draw the light green shade
Start the microwave
Dried roses
Dried rose

Big Thief - Blurred View (Official Audio)

Big Thief 2022-02-15 | 'Blurred View' by Big Thief is taken from new album 'Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You', out now via 4AD. Listen to the album here: bigthief.ffm.to/dnwmibiy

Lyrics:
I am the magazine,
The blue screen
The big hand moving past the last thing
I turn for you, turn for you, turn for you
Turn for you

I am the private room
The quiet croon
The grey eye blinking on the new moon
I burn for you, burn for you, burn for you
Burn for you

Within the last kiss
I am the genesis while the earth rolls
Bleeding from its axis
Return to you, turn to you
Turn too turn to

I am the water rise
The waterfall
Filling up your eyes and when you give the callI
run for you, run for you, run for you
Run for you

I am the sweaty sheets
The wet bed
The things she’ll do
And the things she said
I’ll come for you, come for you, come for you
Come for you

I am the right brain
The paper crane
The bright gold moving past the night train
A blurred view, blurred view, blurred view
Blurred view

I am the new disease
The light breeze
The yellow stars glowing through the white trees
I pine for you, pine for you, shine for you
Pine for you

I am the teeth sharp
The lips read
What is unfeared and what is unfed
I’ll feed for you, feed for you, feed for you
Feed for you

One step closer and I’m real
Tell me everything you feel
And I will sing for you
One step closer and I’m real
Tell me everything you feel
And I will sing for you

Lyrics:
Give me some time on earth to know you
Help me unearth the map and show you
Thinking of her, thinking of him...Want to?
When you touch me

Mirror in the sky
Making me cry again
Roll up the sheets, suddenly frozen
Like a knife carving through my thick skin
When you touch me
When you touch me

Hearing you sigh soft and heavy
Holding mine til’ you feel ready
Flower of blood bloom on my tongue, steady
When you touch me
When you touch me

Flower of blood
Flower of blood bloom on my tongue
When you find the lonely tower
Climb inside the darkest room
Feel afraid, surrender your power
When you touch me

(Feel afraid, surrender your power)

Lyrics:
Came to light on a very hot day
The grass was sweating
You were sleeping in
With the window open
The blanket breathing
Cigarette on a golden ash tray
Your golden hair lay in the swollen sunray
The withered roses hangin’ in the doorway
Don’t wanna be right Don’t wanna be let down
Don’t wanna fight
Don’t wanna pretend
Formless secret, heavy bend heavy bend
Second sight and the clouds above you
As the wilderness grew thicker and the crow flew
Tossing and turning, your forehead burning
Don’t wanna be right Don’t wanna be let down
Don’t wanna fight
Don’t wanna defend
Formless secret, heavy bend
From the empty height
Flies on the ceiling now
Wanna hold you tight, don’t wanna pretend
Formless secret
heavy bend heavy bend
heavy bend

Lyrics:
It’s a little bit magic
Like a river of morning geese
In the new warm mountain
Where the storm face forms and speaks
I believe in you
Even when you need to
Recoil

When the topsoil
Is kicking up into the storm
Where the dust goes dancing
And a billion planets are born
I believe in you
Even when you need to
Recoil

Just like that
The moon goes flat
Big lights in the city shine
Crying out
Take me to the limits of your love

There’s a dragon in the phone line
Coughing up a mighty flame
With a tongue of silver
Calling on my oldest name
She says “hey you,
Do you remember me too?”
We were coiling

It’s a little bit magic
Magic
A little bit magic
Magic

Lyrics
Red moon rising like a fire in me
So many questions, she asks them all to me
I have to answer most curiously
Scarlet angel
I am too small to see
Earn earn, shuffle round the big city
Burning the rubber down,
Crossing the hot concrete
I’m gonna leave town, there is someone to meet
She turns her head around a full 360

Bedroom rising from an old growth tree
Bring out the sawmill
Cutting the twelve inch beams
Building a pattern a reservoir to fill with dreams
Rings like saturn, telling their old stories

Windmill turn and turn eternally,
What do you yearn for
Where do you long to be?
I’ve been here before looking at the wild country
Opening the screen door, talking with Diane Lee

(That’s my grandma!!!)

Radio singin’ from the corner of the kitchen
I’ve got the oven on I got the onions wishin’ they hadn’t made me cry
Filling the sink with dishes
Lettin’ em air dry
Waitin’ for the wind’s permission

Too many movies got me shivering and shy
Turning the lights out glisten’ in the owl’s eye
Glimmer like lightning
Under the violet sky, shimmer like diamonds
Watching the red moon rise

Big Thief - Simulation Swarm (Official Audio)

Big Thief 2022-01-19 | 'Simulation Swarm' by Big Thief is taken from new album 'Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You', out now via 4AD. Listen to the album here: bigthief.ffm.to/dnwmibiy

Lyrics:
I tried to tell you,
Didn’t know how to stay
You believe she can see through
Cutting at the silent clay
A relief, beckon deep blue
Fettered in the magnet sun
Eat the gun as it feeds you
Spitting up the oxygen
Once again

Once again,
Empty horses
Gallop through the violet door
Follow red, crooked courses
Shadows on the moonlit floor
O my stars
Winged creatures gathering in silken height
Like the last human teachers

Once again,
We must bleed new
Even as the hours shake
Crystal blood like a dream true
A ripple in the wound and wake
You believe, I believe too
That you are the river of light
Who I love that I cling to
In the belly of the empty night

From the 31st floor
Of the simulation swarm
With the drone of fluorescence
Flicker, fever, fill the form
With a warm gush
Now I wanna touch
Like we never could before
I’d fly to you tomorrow I’m not
Fighting in this war
I wanna drop my arms and take your arms
And walk you to the shore

I remember building an energy shield
In your room, like a temple,
Swallows in the windless field
Very thin, with your mother
Tall as a pale green tree
Very wild, bright as winter
Rising with a prism key
And a child to deliver
Tangled in the blood and vine
The first little angel

Little Andy, soft in your newborn skin
Only one, little Andy, will you return again
I believe we can renew
And you could be my brother
Once again, fall asleep with our backs against each other
You believe, I believe too
That you are the river of light who I love
That I sing to in the belly of the empty night

From the 31st floor
Of the simulation swarm
With the drone of fluorescence
Flicker, fever, fill the form
With a warm gush
Now I wanna touch
Like we never could before
I’d fly to you tomorrow I’m not
Fighting in this war
I wanna drop my arms and take your arms
And walk you to the shore
I’d fly to you tomorrow I’m not
Fighting in this war
I wanna drop my arms
And take your arms

Big Thief 2021-12-14 | 'Spud Infinity' by Big Thief is taken from new album 'Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You', out now via 4AD. Listen to the album here: bigthief.ffm.to/dnwmibiy

Lyrics:
What’s it gonna take
What’s it gonna take
What’s it gonna take?
To free the ce-
lestial body

From way up there it looks so small
From way down here it looks so small
One peculiar organism aren’t we all together
Everybody steps on ants
Everybody eats the plants
Everybody knows to dance even with
Just one finger

What’s it gonna take
What’s it gonna take
What’s it gonna take?
To free the ce-
lestial body

When I took another look
The past was not a history book
That was just some linear perception
Ash to ask and dust to dusk a dime a dozen aren’t we just?
But a dozen dimes will buy a crust of garlic bread

What’s it gonna take
What’s it gonna take
What’s it gonna take?
To free the ce-
lestial body

When I say celestial
I mean extra-terrestrial
I mean accepting the alien you’ve rejected in your own heart
When I say heart I mean finish
The last one there is a potato kinish
Baking too long in the sun of Spud Infinity
When I say infinity I mean now
Kiss the one you are right now
Kiss your body up and down other than your elbows
Cause as for your elbows they’re on their own
Wandering like a rolling stone
Rubbing up against the edges of experience

What’s it gonna take
What’s it gonna take
What’s it gonna take
What’s it gonna take?
To free the ce-
lestial body

Lyrics:
Been pulling through
Since the last time I touched you
Making due with an internet signal
Calling for the delivery to the front door

There is no reason to believe
No reason at all
Come together for a moment look around and dissolve
Like a feeling like a flash
Like a fallen eyelash
On your sweater threading future through the past

City of salt bone and bell tower
Country of ice rain and wildflower
Picking out the wreath for the funeral and

There is no reason to believe
No reason at all
Come together for a moment look around and dissolve
Like a feeling like a flash
Like a fallen eyelash
On your sweater threading future through the past

There is no reason to believe
No reason at all
Come together for a moment look around and dissolve
Like a feeling like a flash
Like a fallen eyelash
On your sweater threading future through the past

There is no reason to believe
Come together
Like a feeling like a flash
Come together

Big Thief - Time Escaping (Official Audio)

Big Thief 2021-11-16 | 'Time Escaping' by Big Thief is taken from new album 'Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You', out now via 4AD. Listen to the album here: bigthief.ffm.to/dnwmibiy

Lyrics:
Electric waves a rush of energy
Silent river pouring backward eternally
Through the phase and touch of entropy
Old age in the beginner
To hit the stage and blush wild, laughingly
Crush the rage and rush time tappingly
Call the name so much so vapidly
Dissolving into thin air

Turning the two-fork taped up television
Into tunnel vision
Taking the new fork tactile as revision
Working the revision

Time escaping time
escaping

There is no reason to go down alone
Through distortion’s secret telephone
Separate contact separate
Poison in the ether
Swinging still incessant pendulum
Lavender, nettle, calendula
Separate, contact, concentrate
Drawing out the fever

Time escaping time
escaping

Only the winter wind survives
After the heat rush feeds and thrives
After the bushfire burns and dies
Frozen and bitter
Desert ground so cold and clean
Spreading out like a magazine
Reading the dirt like gossip
What do the weeds say? They say
“Everything everything everything falls through
Each dimension breaks in two
Like the two hands clapping
Like the two wings flapping
Everything everything everything for free
As it all eventually turns to dust and petal
Molten rock and meadow”

Time escaping time
Escaping
