I love love love how expressive Julien is when she sings and then Phoebe closing her eyes and Lucy always seems so at peace ugghhhh I really hope they make a second album and tour

[@zarav.1315]

And they diiiiiiiid

[@Armando-ob8yd]

They did ☺️

[@jonathanechevers6265]

Hi, I'm from the future. They did!

[@tessgagliano1736]

i attended their second album tour and it exceeded all expectations

[@alanmorales7959]

The most underrated song in the EP.

[@saschahoupt6177]

Honestly it’s my favourite. Beautiful and cathartic.

[@gjohnson1212]

100% agreed

[@MickaS809]

Bawling. The aching vocals. The articulate lyrics. A masterpeice. A truly articulate depiction of religous trauma.

[@bissa6889]

THE supergroup. This record is transcendant.

[@vrindajotwani2270]

I shiver when Julien sings!

[@helloAdikhere]

Hands down my favourite Boygenius track

[@ArseneWengerIsLord]

Goodness…Julien Baker is a musical monster! Seeing her in ATL in a few weeks opening for Manchester Orchestra and I couldn’t be more excited!

[@lucacapezio]

I'm obsessed with this EP. This song. Perfection.

[@ronanhouston1034]

Wow why tf was this session so good

[@epritzz9332]

Because these are some of the best singer-songwriters in the last 50 years!

[@ilyan.v.371]

@@epritzz9332 oh no boy they aren't

[@chuckfinley756]

Ilyan. V. Is subjective, either way these songwriters are very good

[@ssg2689]

3:03 is me being blown away by this *BAND*

[@NoraZist]

julien is such an incredible vocalist, i’m physically shivering rn aaaaa

[@Julie-mb4nj]

Wasn't a fighter 'til somebody told me I had better learn to lean into the punch So I don't hurt as bad when they leave There you were, turning your cheek I look at you and you look at a screen I'm in the back seat of my body I'm just steering my life in the video game Similar accent, a different name It's a slow down So would you teach me I'm the villain Aren't I, aren't I the one? Constantly repenting for a difficult mind Push me down into the water like a sinner Hold me under and I'll never come up again I'll just stay down It's a half-life It's a fallout It takes so long for me to settle down And when I finally do there's no one else around So I stay down So I stay down So I stay down So I stay down So I stay down

[@loku3540]

“Its a half life its a fallout” *gamer intensifies *

[@saschahoupt6177]

It’s definitely an intentional reference

[@RileyliebtTH]

I don’t trust myself to ever meet Julien and NOT ask her to marry me. Good lord, that woman.

[@Beatrizfkn]

This song grew on me and now is my favorite from the ep. Really beautiful

[@SapphicSparky]

i literally love them so much i cannot explain it their voices just compliment each other so well oml

[@nicknovakk]

This is the stand out song for me. So good

[@saridewi15]

This is so legendary. I cant...

[@pvlvnq]

boygenius are really genius, they put all my feelings i couldn't express in one powerful song, i'm speechless

[@LanaBlueMusic]

It’s unhealthy how many times I’ve watched this

[@EntrancedByIt]

Protect Julien at all costs

[@boyblob]

Favorite song from the EP (kinda bummed that the studio versions don't seem to be on youtube still. I'd like to share it with more people, but not everyone uses Spotify so... oh well). I always wondered if that bit where she sings "it's a half-life it's a fallout" is meant to be a reference to the respective videogame series since she mentions that earlier in the song about being "trapped in a videogame". It seems like it has to be on purpose, otherwise that would be too much of a coincidence. The word "fallout" on its own I could see, but the "half-life" seems to be too specific for it to not be a reference.

I like listening to this when I'm feeling a little down.

Life will always be brutal but the more of this we allow ourselves, the better we’ll live and love and be, i feel

[@angelinamazzola116]

favorite song in the world

[@macabrechildren64]

i love this song so much

[@brinsley4599]

When I read the annotations and the meaning of the lyrics I cried because I related to it so much. This piece is so much better than the shit that "singers" spit out these days

[@douglassaldanha7839]
