boygenius - Not Strong Enough (6 Music Live Session)

[@chlovw7098]

they really said: “how are we going to make this song sadder than it already is” and then pulled out acoustic guitars

[@pizzaninja.]

🖤🖤🖤

[@LaPlanquedeBeckyandCloud]

Always works :p

[@monicaalfaromazin9491]

Lol😂

@@amee2966 they did write it and if you search for them explaining the song then you will understand

Hahaha. Spot on!

Not Strong Enough ( soul crushing version)

[@rickashley2322]

Featuring tears

[@davedurand9483]

I got chills when Julien screamed sang the last "Always An Angel, Never A God" and the hairs on my head stood up all the way through the last verse until the song ended. The boys always sing with conviction but the end of this performance was even more.

[@Wmblair]

boygenius so consistently send shivers down my spine. Stunning.

[@santaincarolina]

but they're not boys??

[@muratisik6956]

Juliens scream is great and emotional, but it's Lucy's voice, lyrics and singing at the end that brings tears to my eyes.

[@iya442]

@@santaincarolinapeople call them the boys since a major theme of the band is the over praising of men and the under appreciation of women. theyre all women but theyre the boys, yknow?

[@thejoaocouto]

Listening to boygenius is spending the entire runtime of a song going “no, she’s the best voice in the band… wait Nevermind, she’s the best… wait”

[@cmp6008]

Julien has the most versatile voice of the 3 of them I think, but both Lucy and Phoebe have singing voices with a lot of character and individuality, meaning there are contexts where each of them are best suited which is so cool.

[@jakewaltham3895]

I love them all but it's definitely Lucy that wins on this song. Her solo part near the end gives me chills every time.

[@soozm8520]

Lucy has the strongest voice in my opinion. So consistent

[@faigler]

They're all vocally so different and individual, but they're all such great compliments to each other -- which I think is a pretty good metaphor for them as people :D

[@petebarbarino2590]

👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣

[@charlottescott5770]

It’s astonishing to see Julien’s vocal range and skill singing these harmonies 3:35

[@VoxGothica]

I really think Julien is the heart and soul of Boygenius. She's the best musician among them, arguably the best songwriter, and as you said she's no slouch as a singer either.

[@juleslarson7249]

Love that look Lucy gives at the end like "yep, that was a good take."

[@lightning2367]

I need them to win a grammy!

[@rickashley2322]

They're gonna win multiples this time :)

[@Trigubaz]

Who cares?!

[@Spoilednspooky]

They won a Grammy tonight ❤

[@lightning2367]

@@rickashley2322 Yes 3 wins!

[@Neutrino-0002]

and THEY DID!!!!!

[@farissaryhana]

Great 😄 an even more devastating version of this song!

[@dustcircle]

The harmonies are killing it

[@Mustangzmustbfree]

Couldn’t appreciate each of these talented musicians more as solo artists. But, when they commune, collaborate, perform together it is at a measure of such meaningful excellence I have trouble explaining, expressing, but not celebrating! I am often accused of being a lyrics snob, but well phrased words are a passion of mine and too often go overlooked. I also have several talented guitarists in my family. So, superb lyricism, and excellent guitar skills, are 2 areas high on my list of priorities for those considered best Musical Artists. These guys have it ALL and more in spades! Their abilities to harmonize w/each other so beautifully is just musical icing for the genius cake! Any official recognition they receive is beyond well deserved!🎉

[@jakenaylor]

Sounds like they’re strong enough to be their fan.

[@PrivateVoid1]

Just adore boygenius and Not Strong Enough is my favourite song, so this has made me very, very happy ♥♥♥

[@mvzzk]

It's so nice to see people from Ukraine (or supporting Ukraine) among boygenius listeners

[@ezm4729]

I feel like Im always on this precipice when listening to this song; I'm either about to make a significant change in the right direction or sink terribly into overwhelming thoughts and feelings unaddressed.

[@anaantf]

didn’t know not strong enough could somehow get better

[@des.14]

juliens voiced makes me melt

[@danielhoskins4690]

Well that pierced through my middle-aged apathy. Beautiful and masterfully executed.

[@fraubeatrix1388]

This version allows me to listen to Lucy's backing vocal better (esp in Phoebe's part) and I couldn't be more thankful.

[@AidanMmusic96]

Each chorus too! Lucy's got great ears + pitch.

[@cheyennekernats1484]

so true

[@cryptidfriend]

this is the first recording I've heard where Lucy can be heard clearly in the chorus, bless

[@julesaly]

their voices bring me so much peace

[@dave99887]

Sublime. Bravo.

[@SpacedDuck11]

Love how they are just simply three friends who appear to just fucking love playing together.

[@noahyeskewicz3549]

THEYRE SO CLEAR

[@joannamuraira4022]

this arrangement is GORGEOUS

[@crc7643]

gut wrenchingly, sickeningly, absolutely soul crushingly beautiful

[@vernonsfuture]

Completely brilliant version of the song of the year ❤️

[@chrismonaghan390]

What a band - delicious vocals every time 👌

[@rose-hk7ze]

scrumptious.

[@davidlance5310]

They’re like if The Chicks made their controversial statement at the very start of their career

[@Sierrraaaaaaaaaa]

Please this is so accurate 😂😂😂

[@marinamaldonado8159]

LMAO

It's Record Of The Year everyone

[@clivemortimore8203]

"Singing Boys don't cry" ................they will always be angels, because gods do not exist. Lucy, Julien and Lucy are angels.

[@conormaguire6633]

Just wonderful ladies. We're totally spoilt to have you. & together.

[@lxlthr4058]

It's not often I'm jealous of an empty chair, but damn, I'm finding myself wishing I was one. Thanks for sharing your wonderful selves with us!

[@ila4023]

Black hole opened in the kitchen Every clock's a different time It would only take the energy to fix it I don't know why I am The way I am, not strong enough to be your man I try, I can't stop staring at the ceiling fan and Spinning out about things that haven't happened Breathing in and out Drag racing through the canyon Singing "Boys Don't Cry" Do you see us getting scraped up off the pavement? I don't know why I am The way I am, not strong enough to be your man I lie, I am just lowering your expectations Half a mind that keeps the other second guessing Close my eyes and count Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god I don't know why I am the way I am There's something in the static, I think I've been having revelations Comin' to, in the front seat, nearly empty Skip the exit to our old street and go home

[@markgardner789]

So glad the younger generation are keeping music alive . Harmonies just amazing. Goosebumps 👏👏👏👏

[@robertsnellgrove2664]

Beautiful, tender and sung and played with heartfelt passion. Humanity in the form of music. Knocks me off my feet every time I listen to it. Stunning. 👏👏👏

[@EzmeWatson]

I thought I couldn't love these gals anymore!!

[@InspirationSessions]

Strong contender for best track of 2023, for sure.

[@andyinoregon]

I've commented elsewhere that I've fallen as hard for their vocal and guitar blend as I did for Crosby Stills & Nash in the summer of 1969. Supergroup doesn't begin to describe how good they are together.

[@amangogna68]

Great music, amazing singer and band !
