Capacity Lyrics

She's got house plants to keep her company
Bought her a goldfish - she named it after me.
We look at old photographs of lovers come and gone
I ask her if it makes her sad she said son you've got so much to learn
Juliette
Love the life that you have kept
Juliette
Smiling on your dying bed
Juliette
You've got a grace about you yet
Juliette
Smoking her last cigarette
3 is tea time, she puts on Patsy Cline
Cuts the crust off sandwiches and mentions how she don't mind dying
Tells stories about Pearl and Earl - Best friends that she once had
We do the dishes then she says it's time for bed
Juliette
Love the life that you have kept
Juliette
Smiling on your dying bed
Juliette
You've got a grace about you yet
Juliette
Smoking her last cigarette
We ate ice cream last night before she slept
No plans for breakfast except to read the note she left
Grey and white skies - That day was a blur for me
She made me promise not to cry, so here is a drink - I drink to thee
Juliette
Love the life that you have kept
Juliette
Smiling on your dying bed
Juliette
You've got a grace about you yet
Juliette
Smoking her last cigarette
Juliette

Big Thief's music, rooted in the songs of Adrianne Lenker, paints in vivid tones "the process of harnessing pain, loss, and love, while simultaneously letting go, looking into your own eyes through someone else's, and being okay with the inevitability of death," says Adrianne.

Masterpiece, Big Thief's debut album, is filled with characters and visceral narratives, songs that pivot in the space of a few words. Adrianne's voice and guitar playing speak of rich emotional territory with grace and insight. In her words, the record tracks "the masterpiece of existence, which is always folding into itself, people attempting to connect, to both shake themselves awake and to shake off the numbness of certain points in their life. The interpretations might be impressionistic or surrealistic, but they're grounded in simple things." Read more on Last.fm.
