[@bruu]

grammy winner!!!!

[@prurido]

YEESSS

[@theeldritchfox]

I love how she smiles as people walk by. She always seems like such a gentle soul.

[@EVH_]

This isn't a music video, it's a live session! And from the interviews I've seen she's just a very kind and friendly person.

[@robinef]

@Foottapiologist Haha this comment made me laugth! You thought she wasn't playing live?

[@22amillionpoundsofsludge]

Mr Eastforest I met her at a show a few months back and she legitimately one of the kindest people I've ever encountered.

[@christopherkersey7449]

I met her while at work in Memphis. She seemed timid and kind of embarrassed that i recognized her. :D

you a freakin grammy winner julien. i goddamn rejoice!!!! ✨❤

[@boixgenius]

Bless whoever is making her smile. She deserves the world, honestly. Such an honest musician.

[@kingcobrajfsofficial]

Oh brother, chill out.

[@volcajohann]

truly activates the protecc genes in us all, I'm sure

[@theloniouscoltrane3778]

easy bro

[@boixgenius]

guys... i'm not a simp i'm a lesbian. we're built different

[@amberperson9418]

The bravery of someone this sensitive, introverted and depressed to put herself out there so publicly is amazing to me. I'm glad that her bravery is as strong as it is because she's certainly the most talented living musician that I know of. To think that there are insanely talented lyricists, instrument players, vocalists that can emote when they sing that hide themselves away due to the agony of being seen is so sad. The world needs you if you are reading this. Please bring your work into the light.

[@juliancunningham4692]

amber person Even coming from just a stranger, this is exactly what i needed to hear. Thank you.

[@godblessblurry]

Wow so two years later reading this rn made me cry a bit ima gonna be brave as hell from now on thank you for posting this

[@HarrietLizzie]

i really needed to hear this. it’s so easy to give up on music. thankyou :)

[@lunalluvia]

💜 bless your soul..

[@gotcha9983]

Amen ❤️

[@allofthemmilkingwithgreenf7493]

I'm agnostic but this song never fails to put me in awe. This is what I call heartfelt.

[@Daniel-pl1vh]

@Pixi Do you realize how many Christians turned atheists there are as well? You can find hundreds on KZbin, as well as testimonies of conversions to Mormonism, Islam, etc. Personal anecdote is not good evidence.

[@DonnieBrasco-dy9yd]

[@bitchimgayasfuck171]

mood

[@jord5151]

The way she sings her heart out..it's like a punch to the chest. She makes my heart want to burst. Absolutely amazing musician.

[@AaronAlbrightMusic]

"I pray, asking why did you let them leave and make me stay - when you know my name and all my hideous mistakes, but I rejoice." Good GOD. Thank you for this girl and this praise. Took my heart so much higher.

[@DJVARAO]

Her faith and emotion remember me when I was asking the same questions at her age. It still hurts asking, specially when the good people you love and respect depart too soon.

[@m.k.mcgill]

I’ve lost two close friends, one to a drunk driver and another to suicide. Out of the whole song, this line hits me the hardest, because I can relate so much. I struggle from similar depression and anxiety that lead my one friend to take her own life. But then the second part of that line comes in. Through the pain of life and loss, I must rejoice. RIP Aaron and Kaci. I miss y’all

[@katyoduinn3452]

@@m.k.mcgill I'm so sorry to hear you lost your two friends. Love to you

[@rumblesofrevolution]

That line hit me. I have several songs about the friends I've lost and this makes me feel I'm understood.

[@organicio]

This line made me burst out in tears. It's the first time I've cried in a while. Really powerful stuff

[@astrobeef]

"I think there's a god and... " cue kick in the gut and the tears start welling. Thanks Julien for these sounds.

[@tedankhamenbonnah4848]

What a set of pipes, and to be able to strum while singing that intensely!

[@michaeltravisano3321]

Man, she has such control over her voice and playing. So terrific. I can't help but feel something when she plays.

[@DavidAlvarezVlog]

There's only a few people who can sing as passionate as her, every version I've seen through lots of sessions of youtube has something different and unique, she never half-ass a song or performance.

[@thebluelight]

i love this version, especially towards the end how she bellows out 'mistakes' on other versions i've heard it's normally a lot more subdued

[@victoriabonnell7]

This is one of the most heartwrenchingly beautiful songs I’ve ever heard in my life.

[@r34perpwnz]

It's crazy that she's so young and is obviously getting better every time she performs. This version surpasses the studio master for me.

[@carlyraeisbae]

I have loved all her live stuff more then recorded. I also love that someone with a pyramids picture commented on this

[@bellezavudd]

So young ?? The most famous muscians are famous by the time theyre 20. The biggest names in music were renowned as teenagers.

[@AdmiralSarcasm]

@@bellezavudd teens and 20yos are still young.

[@bellezavudd]

@@AdmiralSarcasm I'm just pointing out that no it's not 'so crazy she's so young'. PLENTY of artists are famous before 20. It's a preference of music producers to get talent as young as their skills allow.

[@Karragh]

This is my favourite performance of hers I think, the best version of Rejoice for sure. It is just so intense from the "lift my voice" line until the end.

[@Rillant]

Props to the person mixing this! The audio is just perfect.

[@EyeDigress]

kiekoes 3 years later, I agree. It’s incredible!

[@moosesnWoop]

On the street no less

[@m.k.mcgill]

@@moosesnWoop was just about to say, it’d be good to get this quality of audio in a building, but in an active street? Beautiful.

[@patdees420]

Her performances hit me with the same jolt of power and emotion that Tracy Chapman did like 30 years ago. She's an insanely good singer and guitar player. Unreal.

[@TheJaceriley]

A friend introduced me to her last week and I've been addicted since. Then she showed up on Cardinal Sessions - couldn't be happier!

[@theunbloodbrothers1952]

aye shawty never stop playing music. its shit like this that still gives me hope for the world. Thank you!

[@4G8THS]

she's so beautiful. absolutely everything about her. she's fighting that smile so hard:)

[@Cas_anova]

she always makes me feel feelings

[@Turismo860]

[@WildBeardTrucking]

Passionate singing... I can see her heart in this song.

[@sophieb.7470]

Definitely my favourite version of this song. So so so excited to see her live in a few months!!

[@hellraise22]

One of the best singer-songwriters under 25, in my opinion.

[@brandonbergren8864]

One of the best period i would say

[@brndgtl]

Awesome timing of the bicycle bell at 1:42. In time and in key. There are little things of beauty in this world!

[@0xyzabcx0]

Pretty sure that was a text message alert from her phone, lol. You can see her cringe and shake her head after it goes off.

[@trevorsandwich]

I feel as if its such an intimate moment when she drops in on this last chorus that we aren't even supposed to be seeing it. Rather its a drunk gut wrenched vent to a close close friend who is there just to because they love you, and she knows that and she is at whits END and just spills it all to god and her friend I love every second of this version and the album version thank you Julien!

[@theretrosynthwaveopera]

Can't stop listening to this......

[@lilyroseable]

Song saved my life

[@helandrea7336]

Just discovered Julien and her music and I'm in awe. There's something about her that shines through her music. It connects with me very well. Hope to see her live someday. ❤️

[@jaymieeatworld]

She-and this song specifically-always gives me goosebumps.

[@BrokenKnob92]

I think Julien Baker just surpassed The Avett Brothers as my favorite Cardinal Session, which is saying a lot. I'm constantly amazed at how she puts so much raw emotion into every. single. performance.

[@theresepallera2559]

Brendan Carter oh gosh same. I never thought I'd say this but

[@TheStupidrule]

Nice, laid-back guitar and beautiful vocals. This is 100% my jam and I'd never heard of her before. Thanks, CardinalSessions :)

[@sixxxgunsinc]

TheStupidrule watch her Audio Tree session!! ♡♡

[@スパイシーな男の子]

Check out the NPR Tiny Desk Concert, if you haven't already.

[@ashleycole2862]

Love love! I listen to the whole sprained ankle album weekly!

[@layah8239]

Ashley Cole same

[@maddoggnick96]

I like how she waves to someone at 1:11

[@lagunabxo]

So so happy I just discovered her music. Where have you been all my life?! Phenomenal

[@lilyhain]

julien is so wonderful

[@LenaMayson]

she smiles and my heart is full ❤

[@evfragz]

That voice! Wow!

[@KevinQualls]

I love this song so much & this performance is my absolute favorite! I've probably watched this about 100 times. Julien Baker is such a little girl but she can belt out some powerful vocals that are haunting and beautiful.

[@musicofthe2ndfinest440]

Give creativity a guitar and a beautiful voice to tell it's story... Great!

[@jamesmccarthy4605]

I love her assortment of facial expressions. :-)

[@4G8THS]

i’ve been listening to this song for about three years now... always loved it. yesterday was my best friends anniversary from overdosing. i never truly listened to lyrics or comprehended them like i did today. wow. i will always miss you jordan

[@KevinQualls]

Wow! I get chills every time I listen to Julien sing this... and it's a lot!

[@CoralineMoth]

This song speaks to me so much. I love her and her music

[@carlosmedrano5854]

She has a sweet voice and her smile is beautiful. :)

[@johnsenior478]

Wow…just wow.

[@Wokoman1]

I have goosebumps on bodyparts of which I didn't even know they existed. This is so pure, so real, so... Just speechless...

[@JonPanDrum]

This performance really helped me find my faith again. Thank you

[@cel2808]

my heart my heart, be still my heart.

[@ericjam6346]

I like how Julien lets the sounds of the city just bleed in on her performance. It really made everything come together as being very honest and straightforward. Then the crescendo towards the end just really punches you right in the face. Just incredible.

[@DJVARAO]

One of our friends just passed. And I don´t know what to say or how to feel. This song made me reconcile with my tears for those already gone.

[@scroody3425]

How DF does Julian give me freacking chills all the time, this girl is AMAZING

[@sarahneczwid366]

Outstanding song. Love how folks are just walking by and how Julien falls back into the moment before belting out the end of the song. Beautiful performance.

[@davidacosta8074]

you help me feel again, don't ever stop

[@hepasb]

Goddamn, after listening to this one for probably 100 times, major props to the sound people for capturing the sound this well out on a street, it is perfect!

[@theproleswillrise]

Julien is the absolute best.

[@Pixeleyes]

I've listened to this track so many times that the ambient crowd sounds now seem like part of the song.

I like that the bike's ringing is actually in tone.
