"Good News", Julien Baker - Paris, Mai 2016

[@ELEtienne]

If you were in this room and you talked, you are beyond salvation.

[@erinkrew6888]

Etienne Leue ikr. It makes me super angry people talked. It’s pretty cool tho at the end everyone was quiet because of how in awe they were at how talented she is

[@SteelDrivingMan]

@@erinkrew6888 I don't think people understood what was in front of them, she was pretty much unknown at the time in France. I was in the room, crying for 20 minutes straight. I'm 40, I've seen most of my musical heroes live but it was (and still is) the most intense performance I've ever been witness to

[@bananapoohwkuk]

It definitely adds some depth, I think. For example, they're all silent by the end of the song.

[@brendantaylor3570]

Romain Nicolas Makes me happy reading this.

[@kristaunger7041]

I am a very kind, passive person, but if people (looking at you rude baby Phoebe fans) start coming to Julien’s solo shows and scream over her vocals like you do at boygenius shows, I’m actually going to tap on your shoulder and ask you to please be quiet. I let it ruin a show my older adult ass camped out to be up close to Julien. It seriously BROKE my heart. PLEASE y’all, be quiet. *sobs as quietly as I can so I’m not a hypocrite. 😭🖤❤️‍🩹

I love this performance because at the start, the whole room is talking as if she isn't there but by the end the room is practically silent - even those who were initially disinterested can't help but be spellbound by her music. Entertaining an already adoring fanbase is one thing, but captivating an audience who perhaps didn't know or care who she was is another thing entirely, and really speaks to her power and talent.

[@JLee4250]

This is one of the most intense, tragically beautiful performances I have ever seen by a single person. Stay amazing Julien Baker!!!

[@copaceticetal]

I think I keep coming back to this video because she's seems to be feeding off of the audience's apparent indifference from continuing to talk. The withering look she gives around 2:37 when she sings "but it is -to me," kills me every time.

[@brendantaylor3570]

The emotional power she radiates is intoxicating.

[@ashy1587]

The end of this version is awesome whenever i listen to the recorded version it feels like there should be some kind of release at the end, which is maybe the point but i love this version for doing that

[@dathanmaton2497]

Wish I could watch this for the first time again

[@saraho362]

I think this is the best thing I have ever heard I love it so much I can't even articulate it

[@TheHayley555]

This performance is everything

[@thegreatsalaam]

i can't stop listening to this...

[@twocentscinema8587]

Julien in Paris and her songs ever evolving!

[@caras5590]

love her so much

[@ShaneAcoustique]

Holy dancin Christ she's incredible

[@feogkp7652]

no puedo describir con palabras lo que me hace sentir esta artista

[@Ls-wr1cg]

so basically she was like "i'm gonna make u shut up" and we do love that

[@EriError]

Esto me da piel de gallina.

[@joefowler4661]

That's an incredible performance. Is she in standard tuning? I'm having trouble figuring out what she's playing.

[@jfowler88]

Replying to my own comment. She's just playing octaves; nothing too complicated.

[@EmmaCitrine]

Can you pleeease tell me what chords she's playing?

[@MikeyDsRS]

its essentially just e and a. shes playing 076 (starting from 6th string) and X06 for the verses, throwing in the octave occassionally

[@stitch2402]

Wow, love it

[@estebanmendez5830]

Do somebody have the lyrics of this song?

[@Lolo_from_Paris]

You're long hair... A short walk, my biggest fear and a slow watch. In the thin air my ribs creak like wooden dining chairs when you see me. Always scared that every situation ends the same, with a blank stare, me and the tap water circling the sink drain because it's heavy, but I'm trying really hard to keep my nose clean, and the blue out of my arms. But it's not easy, its not easy when what you think of me is important, and I know it shouldn't be so damn important, but it is to me. And I'm only ever screaming at myself in public. I know I shouldn't act this way in public. I know I shouldn't make my friends all worry when I go out at night and grind my teeth like sutures, my mouth like a wound, when I stay up and throw my voice about you. Or it's less about you and more about how I ruin everything, everything I do, everything I do, just ruining everythinh I think could be good news.

[@I3lanket]

Top knotch

[@sarahfaith6531]

[@user00688]
