Just wanted to listen to this for the 1000th time and realised it's one of the least popular vids on the channel. True fans know this is one of Julia's best 🔥

[@jeremymeyer860]

I love all your covers, but this one is the PERFECT example of not needing flashy gimmicks, but rather the intrigue is just being that deep in the pocket. I felt this to my core.

[@lyndzeepeterson3507]

They way you’re vibing the whole song! Your vibes are immaculate!

[@BigGahmBoss]

For real though!

[@holyfaith7]

She was in the zone.. love it

[@yoyonel1808]

'Soul' (Pixar/Disney) reference or Kuroko (Jap anim about basket-ball) ? ❤

[@8088I]

Always! 💕

[@ZerglingLover]

@@yoyonel1808there is no way my guy read “she was in the zone” and thought it was a reference

[@kennogawa6638]

That 5string has added so much to your playing it's like it was made for you. You have found your true calling in life playing the bass.

[@amosed9210]

Julia!! This cover is UNREAL….. my jaw was to the floor the whole time. AMAZING!

[@davidstewart4570]

Aaahh, the Olympics of groove. Another month, another gold medal for Julia 🙂

[@bullet1218]

The complexity of this cut is a challenge for some....but you make it seem easy...that's talent in action...💯👍

[@prighult]

Julia is Best 😊❤🎉

[@quevivalavida433]

I agree ❤❤❤

[@thomaslikesmusic]

The way you flowed over the vocal melody, like at 2:02, was absolutely sick! I'm your biggest fan, greetings from Oregon, USA

[@SamHutchinsonBass]

And that run at 3:18 is perfection 👌

[@AdamMikolon]

clean, effortless, impeccable vibes

[@FranticFoxBass]

Your playing style has influenced me greatly over the last years. I am always so inspired by the way you approach songs and give them your very own spin.

[@bigaspaulo]

The funk and the joy were on full display! So much fun to witness and experience, thank you for sharing!

[@steffen1405]

I love it how she gives emphasis on powerful low notes, really supporting the melody, and not always playing fast and high just cause it's a 5 string. She really stayed in keeping with the vibe of the song, whilst decorating in specific moments. Great cover!

[@405Lenny]

You really have such great ideas. I’m always so impressed with your playing. 👍👍

[@DrJohn123]

Wow, that's right in the pocket. And the first bass interlude with that laid back feel - great! Keep on playing like this, I've been following you for many years. You've always delivered!

[@MrOccamRazor]

Okay, you are way more into the groove on this video. I don't think I've ever seen you so into the moment like this video. You normally have a bit of stoic professionalism, which is cool. But, this, this was a whole other level. Either way, as usual, true to the music. Love the vibe.

[@mkmstillstackin]

I'm no expert, but I recognize mastery when I see it. Your passion and soul are next level.

[@k_spats]

The *Silent Assassin* has slayed, yet, again! 💜💫✌🏼🎵

[@guynumber2967]

Seamlessly flowing from runs into the groove so naturally. Another amazing video!

[@steffen1405]

Holy cow! Kicking the beat in at 1:10 ! :D The lyrics are beautiful but the bassline and performance are spectacular? You're really doing a public service with your content! Thanks! Keep grooving!

[@Sixten--]

It's just enchanting to watch you play. The joy and groove is directly transmitted to me. Keep going, we are loving it!

[@svenschwingel8632]

These facial expressions are so adorable that I could watch you all day long 😍 And that Ray35 sounds so amazing in your hands.

[@jaytamati2473]

DAYME! Julia your groove is in beast mode, like WTH 🤙❤🤙On Repeat

[@barbmiller5951]

In that zone that you own. You made me want to listen 100 times. Great lyrics & message too. Thanks Julia. You always make my day.

[@tomywilkerson]

The amount of people who’ve commented on this in 25 minutes is wild! Killed it as always. My favorite bassist on KZbin. This made me want to see you on a fretless.

[@acm1137]

Superb as always.

[@donaldjessop690]

Found your channel looking for some tab/lesson video ideas for a song I’m teaching and veryyyy quickly realised I need to practice more! so much attitude and style and groove in your playing, love it!!!

[@willisratcliff2285]

How can anyone not enjoy seeing or listen to this young lady play

[@heladito29]

I love how always she's giving the vibes of the song, and how she puts her own feeling to the song.❤️🤩

[@PieterKaan1]

I have been playing bass all my life and am pretty much basssick hehe, but watching Julia's bass playing and getting into it, thats where I am at though, since I'm coming from many and varied styles in cover bands, I am becoming more familiar with the styles that Julia displays in her vids. Easy and clear to see, she is relaxed and it corrects my thinking in further developing my own skill. You're never too old so long as you can play in time, funky and oh yeah, If someone asks how old are you, I'm old enough to be a musician and young enough to do it well!! Thank you Julia, keep up the groove girl :)

[@susanna8662]

Beautiful! I started playing bass because of you and I aspire to be this good some day

[@clinthill4098]

Got to have my regular Juliaplaysgroove fix .Thank you Julia for another great mix ❤

[@buhlesoko7050]

❤❤❤i cant stop watching your videos. I love how effortless your moves are. Perfect runs.

[@svenramnefjell7742]

She must have been in spesially good mood this day. Her smiling face is so contagious, I have to laugh for myself. Totally made my day.

[@justsaying5245]

I can tell she feels the R&B better than any other music. That only means she has soul. I love you girl!! Request; "Dance Tonight" by Lucy Pearl Please!!!!!!

[@JohnMacLeanPhotography]

no flashy gimmicks, talking smack or showboating, just fierce skills. Excellence defined!

[@DJ-nn6vg]

Every month, direct from a music school in Poland another epic groove from Julia. Grab your favorite beverage, put on the headphones and listen to Julia’s newest release. Life is good!

[@Temisonofficial]

What music school is she attending?

[@dalenetstephanus9871]

I cant wait to get into my car tomorrow morning and jam to this...absolute magic!

[@skylar8685]

you had so much fun with this one, and so much ease in ur playing, mesmerising to watch

[@bassicvegan]

perfectly in the pocket and so tastefully done!

[@Kayjillypoo]

Great song choice! Oldie but goodie

[@louisrios5546]

More evidence that Julia is the best KZbin bassist, full stop.

[@malcolmmilliner7827]

BASS BAE ~ YOU'ER AWESOME ~ HARMONY AND BLISS BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES ~ ECK LOVE

[@JedsonX]

I know I am a year late and a dollar short. But this is a groove right here. She is jamming and here for every second of it. I have just subscribed and I hope she is still doing covers. Just seeing how her soul is moving her fingers and not her brain is a thing of beauty.

[@Mugwart1]

The eyebrows at the 2:47 mark tho! Seriously, complex playing. Nicely done. :)

[@altariabeats]

This cover is oozing with incredible, artistic taste!!

[@andrewjohn4755]

Julia! watching you play fills my heart with joy unbound! this one makes us observe your happy place. God bless thy fingers!

[@immasi8922]

You always play at such a high level, very inspiring!

[@mikkiandreacanada8049]

You truly are "The Fill-Master"

[@shooter364]

I have been watching you for several years. You just keep improving!

[@jayeads]

Julia, this was fantastic. One of my faves you have done.

[@jamesw9252]

The groove is back

[@SamHutchinsonBass]

What a joy to watch and so musical. You could make a ticking clock funky!

[@liloomiah]

Haven’t listened this song for awhile, thanks for this cool rendition! As always, groovy and nice!!!

[@TheOriginalYitsan]

This is outrageous. I sit here shaking my head everytime. Endless talent man.

[@Dar1oGom3s]

Wow my favorite song of hers... 🥲

[@lion037]

This hit me in my feels. My sister is in chemo right now, and I'm adding purple highlights to my hair for her. We were just talking about this song. Beautifully done, thank you, Julia!

[@jamesswearingen8950]

Wow--small world. Best of luck to your Sis in her Cancer Fight. She can come back to this Great clip from BASSic Julia on KZbin for inspiration anytime, 3 minutes at a time ;)

[@BrennanJ96]

So excited every time a new video drops!

[@correametal]

Both You and your playing are always beautiful. Your way to approach grooves, your phrasing, and your overall playing sounds amazing!

[@badger4361]

Nice and tight as usual Julia, nice string crossing, good job. 👍

[@rothaarbiker]

Tone, phrasing, timing, musical creativity: just phenomenal. I love it! ❤😊

[@lastonewon]

Such a vibe Julia, you always bring that sound , love it!!

[@squeeps78]

So inspiring! Seeing thundercat in September but wish it was Julia. Thanks for rocking.

[@bbhdd6181]

Aw man what a great song with an awesome message! Loved your good vibes while playing as always 😊

[@SalHardy]

The only thing I love more than the way you play music is the way you "feel" music. What a better place the world would be if we all appreciated sound. I love to play the piano/keyboard the same way. I thought it was just me.

[@FOJO27]

This made my day - thank you so much for sharing your bass joy. (New subscriber btw - cheers from Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦)

[@corykendall361]

Uhhhhhng... That's all I got. We'll, that and bass-face. Stellar job.

[@runswithbeer]

I love your hip hop covers! This grandma has learned a lot from this channel.

[@Mysticfob]

I feel like I never know the song but always jam along. You don't miss!

[@dannywhite1780]

Ok, hold up! We see what you did there, you showed emotions from the 1st note! And what was that at 1:14 or so? Alright, We see how you are😁 Seriously, another awesome performance, love seeing you in the music, and as always, can't wait for what's next!

[@remco2777]

[@frogdaddy252]

eyebrow funk unlocked at 1:11 Superb cover!

[@pillarobert]

[@popupgigs]

This is too good! Looks simple but deceptively difficult to deliver with such groove. Incredible.

[@raufyenaliyev]

Gorgeous! Fabulous! Technique of possession at an impressive level! 👍
