southern 90s kids who rode around in their moms car listening to country radio will get the feels listening to this

kifferei this exactly. i feel safe

[@arthurmead5341]

They played this everywhere

[@Hoodratstuff15]

this comment was way too specifically me.

[@blaket3464]

45 minute drive to sister's soccer practice, 45 minutes to the gym, 20 minutes to the grocery store. Now I write country shit. Shout out.

[@neekafat]

not just southern my friend

[@dylancampbell5199]

WOW!! Julien Baker...I used to work at guitar center off Stage rd/64 (outside of Memphis) and she was a youngster in there buying up effect pedals. I remember helping her often bc she had really good taste in pedals and knew her gear! Congrats to you and all your success!! Love the cover and it appears you're surrounded by AMAZING SOULS 👏

[@mcaleerjm]

Yeah this checks out lol. These women are all super tone-conscious and their stuff always sounds impeccable.

[@haute03]

I love reading little stories like this. Thank you for sharing. 💜

[@Dreamrealm111]

What a full circle moment lol reading this after they all came back together and won a Grammy is insane

[@coxj2000]

I saw her close for Lucy Dacus in Richmond a few years ago... she paused the show for like 5 minutes when her pedal board was glitching... despite encouragement from a tech to just move on with what she had, she FIXED it, saying she wanted it to be perfect for us. It was so cool

[@SalaWalter]

Country fits boygenius like a glove.

[@susanzoeckler4926]

Such beautiful voices in exquisite harmony, but I do wish they'd given the violinist credit in the description. Her contribution is an important part of what makes this performance so special.

[@jjames2273]

Right? I'm pretty sure that's Camille Faulkner though.

[@susanzoeckler4926]

@@jjames2273 Thank you! I don't know who Camille Faulkner is, but now that I have her name, I can go searching for more videos. I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know.

[@wernerhedegaard4311]

Agree, that violin is a marvellous contribution to that beatiful song

[@laurasosnow7507]

It is her

[@johngibb4392]

It is. But if you listen to the whole track more songs they talked about her. Listen to this monterrage from like 1 to 5 or 6. Awesome and great!!!

[@yuriykolesnyk3151]

Lucy’s voice is sublime.

[@jadennienhueser30]

Need this on Spotify so bad

[@dec222]

The way Julien delivers that first "sounds good to me" reduces me to existential sobs every time.

[@victorialee2626]

Bag gch. Bc F

[@codyfulk]

90's country is a special kind of nostalgia. Puts me back in the backseat of my grandmas '90 Escort, studying the detail of the Nasa sticker I had stuck to the back passenger window, mouthing the words to every song.

[@CharlieBourgeois_]

Damn. This hits hard. Field parties, sliding on fresh gravel roads on a curve going too fast, drivers ed final was getting bait and fishing. The list goes on.

[@maddisonl5840]

Man…. We all had the same childhood huh? But my grandma had a 4-runner

[@connorh1060]

My grandma would let my drive her S-10 on the barn roads

[@quagmire541]

Lucy's verses are just so damn good

[@b-rollbridez9477]

i was raised on The Chicks and somehow only just discovered this cover and i LOVE boygenius and all its members solo careers so you can imagine i'm freaking out rn

[@oldchunkofcoal2774]

Dixie...

[@razrv3lc]

@@oldchunkofcoal2774 nope. They got rid of that bullshit from the name because they’re not awful people. I have lived my entire life in “Dixie” and the only people that cling to that name are gutter trash racists, without fail.

[@b-rollbridez9477]

@@oldchunkofcoal2774 just respecting the fact they changed the band name :)

[@hallmarkaddict8455]

​@@oldchunkofcoal2774you're WRONG. They changed their name to The Chicks so that person is correct that you tried to correct and you are not

[@johnnight9627]

@@hallmarkaddict8455 NO you are wrong. When b-rollbrdez9477 grew up the name of the band was The Dixie Chicks. They changed their name years later because some ignorant leftist ass wipes think the word "DIXIE" is racist.

[@murraymarshawn2175]

These girls make me believe that the lint in my pocket has meaning.

[@Kingfisher1215]

Wtf

[@guermeisterdoodlebug7980]

We were wondering if that was lint or you were really happy at seeing her.

[@korrycassidy2284]

lmao

[@deejewell4831]

😂

[@keithmcdonald4056]

I just can't believe the absolute sheer talent these 3 have as a group. Just magic.

[@bertforbes1212]

This song has been covered since probably 1999. By far my favorite!!!!!!

[@timh8324]

arent there 4?

[@mcam3ron]

Good loorddddd this is fantastic. I never thought I'd see the day I'd see julien baker singing dixie chicks.

[@bertforbes1212]

This is "fantastic" in so many ways!.....I am reminded that the Chicks had to make the point to their label that they weren't giving up their instruments.

[@megb9900]

Makes sense to me. Dixie Chicks were part of a resurgence of feminism. An Ode to them is perfect.

[@MylerTartin]

A good song is a good song

[@yoongicowboy6780]

This Dixie Chicks CD was the first CD I ever owned as a kid. Hearing my favorite band now cover it is so unbelievably magical and nostalgic

[@TheBella2u]

I like this version better. The DS is overproduced, the singing “nasaly”. DS rocked it up whereas BG sings it with longing.

[@dallas5374]

The chicks…..lol

[@jevinday]

Nice, that's a great intro to music! The Dixie chicks really are something else and boygenius does a great job

[@oldchunkofcoal2774]

​@@dallas5374 *The Dixie Chicks

[@BoxJawz]

Fly doesn’t have a single skipable song on it tbh

[@annablankinship9000]

I keep coming back to their cover of this song over and over again. It never disappoints. Never.

[@bismuthcrystal9658]

I often wake up with country songs from my childhood; my mom's music; stuck in my head. Usually it's infuriating, soulless, overproduced Nashville pop country. Sometimes it's the Chicks or other great stuff. Whenever it's this song, and it often is, I'm glad. And this is the best version of it I've ever heard. Fantastic.

[@arthurmead5341]

The best version was the original

[@lunebeamdreams5281]

Julien's SMILE IS EVERYTHING

[@VictoriaWhitlock]

This is an unexpected crossover but im here for it.

[@rachelpetersen301]

Seeing Julien smile while she's singing makes me feel so many things but mostly Gay

[@ehotel]

she has the best smile.

[@comradehermit9320]

Ad trans to that and samesies. To quote Morel Orel (of all things) "Tiny female Jesus!..."

[@courtneywofford2879]

Same

[@stewartallen7288]

Wtf?...why can't someone just enjoy beautiful music & not try to make it about something else......music doesn't fall into genders?..or your sexual preference?...when she sings it beauty....please don't ruin it.

[@melvinlee5684]

Who cares but you? That a personal thought that would be better kept to yourself.

[@rowzee.]

I was a huge Dixie Chicks fan and they continue to hold a very special place in my heart to this day. This was always one of my favorites of theirs and hearing boygenius, one of my all time favorite bands ever, cover it is nothing short of heaven.

[@deadpocketss]

Just when I thought Julien Baker couldn't get any better she goes and does this.

[@LaurelWashburn]

I am ready for a full cowboygenius country album

[@miguelord77]

i want a studio version of this on boygenius 2

[@faigler]

Also can we pause and just appreciate the hell out of Camille here? The violin (I think? *tips head* could be viola) just MAKES this song and I always have this half-idea that they're like "hey, do you know this song?" and she's like "I mean, if I don't, I'll make something up" because it literally feels like she can improvise along with anything.

[@goochsta68]

These ladies are going to be some of the most important songwriters of our time.

[@johnhaupenthal]

All three of them have such amazing voices

[@faigler]

The way Phoebe smiles at Julien singing/playing the beginning is an entire mood.

[@nickwright4828]

I could listen to Lucy sing all day. I love them all

[@xarmanhsh2981]

My job is really stressful these days and playing this song on repeat calms me down

[@CammojoDragon97]

this... is the greatest thing I've ever heard. It's almost infuriating. This was on KZbin for me to enjoy for a whole SIX DAYS before I found it????????????? Unforgivable.

[@davidmurray5399]

I saw Lucy Dacus perform at First Avenue in Minneapolis last year. The show was amazing, and because she had an injured back, she had to either sit or lie down through the entire show. If boygenius goes on tour, I will be there!

[@michaeldileo6971]

the giggles at the end bubbled somewhat awkwardly over my aching heart. So beautiful. Each voice incredible in its own way: Julien touching, Lucy angelic yet powerful, Phoebe cuts like a knife.

[@angryhands9564]

I think I fell in love separately with each of them at different points during this song

[@AHart-jy5bi]

Damn, does the girl playing violin get a credit? This cover is pretty good but SHE makes it beautiful.

[@monstrabiliss]

It's Camille Faulkner! She tours with Julien all the time, such a talent.

[@michaelstark5751]

Country fits boygenius like a glove.

[@mereduthgrubb3648]

Her playing gave me chills.

[@BHeisler59]

Is she the same girl in a video from 2011 on a channel called " Aron van Selm"? Looks a lot like her and doing a violin / piano cover of Chevalier de sangreal from Divinci Code. The sound is the same also.

[@dallas5374]

She’s amazing

[@_tovi]

*Sad yeehaw*

[@erikrivera6254]

These girls kill it. Gorgeous and they can actually sing. Nice! I love it. The red lipstick girl is amazing.

[@margaritabitch666]

hi:) her name is lucy dacus and she has two wonderful albums out called “no burden” and “historian” !!

[@awesomeface265]

If you want to check out their solo stuff they’re amazing! The one who starts out singing is Julien Baker and she has a very sad discography (I’d recommend everybody does and appointments). The second girl is Phoebe Bridgers and she’s more folksy artist (I’d recommend Scott Street and Smoke Signals). Lucy Dacus is the red lipstick one and literally everything she does is gold!

[@jeffdaniels1260]

She is Lucy Dacus. Wonderful voice. And further to the comments below, check out the Brooklyn Steel Pitchfork Live Boygenius concert on KZbin from Nov 2020. Each of these gifted artists performs a 30 minute set of their own material with their own bands, and then they come together at the end as boygenius and perform their entire EP. It is magical to say the least.....

[@lewismartin4306]

The dark hair singers part is just so Dam beautiful

[@somaticaproductions]

This is so outrageously stunning. I’m completely blown away

[@IT-oj9re]

I said, I wanna touch the earth I wanna break it in my hands I wanna grow something wild and unruly I wanna sleep on the hard ground In the comfort of your arms On a pillow of blue bonnets In a blanket made of stars Oh, it sounds good to me I said, cowboy take me away Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue Set me free, oh, I pray Closer to heaven above and closer to you Closer to you I wanna walk and not run I wanna skip and not fall I wanna look at the horizon and not see a building standing tall I wanna be the only one for miles and miles Except for maybe you and your simple smile Oh, it sounds good to me Yes, it sounds so good to me Cowboy take me away Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue Set me free, oh, I pray Closer to heaven above and closer to you Closer to you I said, I wanna touch the earth I wanna break it in my hands I wanna grow something wild and unruly Oh, it sounds so good to me Cowboy take me away Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue Set me free, oh, I pray Closer to heaven above and closer to you Closer to you Closer to you Cowboy take me away Closer to you

This is absolutely amazing. They can sure harmonize. Brings tears to my eyes...

I think I've listened to this 100 times in a row by now. Well, not really, but it sure feels like it. This is damn good.

[@shirleydietsch1279]

How lucky for us these ladies found each other to come together as a very talented group. And they even have fun doing it! 💖💖💖

[@dukeofdeath276]

Those little giggles at the end of the song just help emphasize that those absolutely amazing musicians are just young girls. Blows my mind how good they already are!

[@kalifiedmk6]

why isn’t this on spotify i’m dying

[@HiSummerWasHere]

Isn't this just beautiful and etherial? And not so different from the original? I love when bands can make something sound like them without also not making it NOT sound like the song we're familiar with. That's artistry.

[@nowthenzen]

I hope we never live in a world where there is not a place for these ladies

[@andrewbrandenburg3842]

Much better version here with everything stripped down and simplified. So pure and clean. Love it!

[@donbirak9119]

A very good version of the original. Beautiful harmonies surrounded by wonderfully crafted instrumentals.
