Big Thief - Little Things (Official Audio)

Lyrics:
The little things I like about you
How you say when you say what you do
When your feeling is a little gold and blue
When your feeling is a little strung out

Everything we talk about
Living in the city is a crowded place
I still lose sight of every other face

Turn in your direction
Feeling like I need attention
Told you this once or twice
Won’t you hear?
I see you in the yard, drinking a beer
Leaving me undressed like some cheap
Classic movie
Maybe I’m a little obsessed
Maybe you do use me

One step behind you,
Following you down
I was inside of you
Kissing your mouth
You were inside of me
Kissing my mouth

Seein’ out that needle eye
Seein’ out that needle eye
Seein’ out that needle eye

The little things I like about you
How you say when you say what you do
When your feeling is a little gold and blue
When you’re feeling a little strung out
Everything we talk about
New York City is a crowded place
I still lose sight of every other face

One step behind you
Following you down
I was inside of you
Where are you now
Where are you?

There’s not a band like them. It’s intimate and spacey, sonically rich and heart tugging. I love Big Thief!

[PolyvinylRecords]

no greater dopamine hit than a lil adrianne yell

[jenibthatisme]

This song is like a confluence of two rivers, one fast, wild, crashing its banks, the other flowing gentle, languid and rhythmic. They meet, slowly consume each other and become something else entirely. ❤️

[thomasbrock]

I haven't had a song grab me like this in years

[sskd]

I listen to a lot of different music. Rap, trap, rock, country, pop. This might be my favorite song of all time. I’m 35. I’ve listened to a lot of songs.

[hannahweiss]

i dont know why but the lines “one step behind you, following you down” always gets me

[davidnicholson]

Joni Mitchell's "Hejira" via The Cure and shoegaze. I keep playing this song over and over. Watercolor running on a warm rainy day.

[kendallpigg]

I love how the guitar is "low" in the mix. Makes me pay attention to it even more. Great song to drive to.

[likecanonfire]

Song of the year, it's not even close. Big Thief continue to amaze.

[williamgoree]

So they played most of this as a group in the same take, and they didn't have a set meter, they just went with it, and they all stayed in sync like that? That is nuts

[dannooter]

the entire album is amazing but i can't stop listening to this song. "maybe i'm a little obsessed."

[gnore_me.]

this feels like the end of something, and the birth of something new

[coachburke]

I didn’t know I needed this in my life until my boss played it at work. I think I listened to it ten times in a row.

[calebmahoney]

Incredible. I can’t help but hear the Fleetwood Mac influence, in the best way. They are a truly special band.

[emclsd]

Those chords could loop forever and I wouldn’t complain, not once. Sending love from Australia

[twentyneparents]

Never really listened to Big Thief before but my daughter wanted to go to their concert last night and we were right on the barricade in a packed venue and HOLY CRAP! That was a great concert. Hats off to this band, I’m a fan.

[josephcorridon]

The guitars are helping me cope with my country going into another lockdown.

[dkes]

Those breathy ad-libs at 2:37 are amazing

[lunamothhh]

"Describing ‘Little Things’, Krivchenia said: “It’s in this sort of evolving free time signature where the beat is always changing, so Max [Oleartchik, bassist] and I were just flowing with it and guessing where the downbeats were – which gives the groove a really cool light feeling.”

[sweetpeabee]

Goddamn this is good. Love the textures to this, ever-shifting. Love the parallel of a sound you can never quite pin down to the lyrics describing not being able to keep sight of individual faces in New York's crowds (and not being able to find the song's subject). Big Thief never misses!
