Julien Baker "Blacktop" Live @ 939

[@powerbottomboat]

I love that she gets lost in her own world in her songs, but my favourite thing is that she invites you to get lost in there with her. I think that's the difference between a someone singing their songs and someone preforming their songs, they never forget to include you the audience.

[@ianros01]

no way her live performances are even better than the studio versions oh god

[@andyrhiel3593]

they are lol

[@jamesshaffer9890]

Recently found her music. I'm so in love with the lyrics. More so than than those of Wilfred Owen, my favorite poet. The questioning. It haunts me.

[@faigler]

Ooh, Wilfred Owen's a really interesting poet to bring up adjacent to Julien, though. Not someone I'd have thought by myself of comparing, but it makes absolute sense that someone who likes one would like the other (I do!). There's an unflinchingness of describing experiences there and -- like you said, a questioning of the way things are, or God, or meaning -- that I think make sense for someone to connect to in both cases.

​@faigler on November 10th,2018 I walked,with my eldest son, to Owen's grave in Ors. Read my favorite poem of his to him...

[@faigler]

@@jamesshaffer9890 I love that. I like to think somewhere he was pleased people still know his poetry. Which one is your favorite?

[@dandand317]

This is legit one of the best performances I've ever heard.

[@colevanhoogenstyn9322]

I watch a lot of JB live videos. This is the best one available.

[@EireAnPoblacht]

This version blows the studio track out of the water, IMO....

[@Mushab00m3]

3:54 is seriously heart stopping

[@juzo9986]

She's such an angel

[@mikemunsch8138]

[@gmanhirt8818]

Crazy thought but I swear the guitar becomes an extension of a much greater force or power that most people never believe even exists…

[@Bingbongbat]

This is so so good and good recording

[@alientool]
