Julien Baker - Decorated Lawns

[@Victoria-r9u9f]

i am sobbing this is the best song ever written julien baker i love you more than i hate me

[@EireAnPoblacht]

The imagery in this song is so dark, and yet the music is almost jubilant....Its a potent mixture, for sure... Another work of art.... I love this girl....

[@_ben_miller]

i feel like i know everything she's felt and sung about in songs. it sucks feeling like someone you don't know is your soulmate (not romantically, but like platonically-mentally)

[@fangbanger1719]

Went back home in the winter Moved into my parents’ house And walked the hallways like a stranger Still haven’t figured anything out ‘Cause I still don’t know what to do Last year, I swore I’d make a noose in the lights Hang out in the gutter Decorate my neck with the colored bulbs So that everyone would laugh at me Laugh at me Laugh at me When you drive around the neighborhood in your SUV Looking for a holiday display with your family And there I’ll be, in the yard, dangling Happier spending December Fulfilling obligations Without the red pin in my calendar Or last call at the Greyhound station ‘Cause I can’t hurry up to you End of every grueling day And for the mundanity we suffer through I won’t try to join the pile up on the freeway Crash my car into a ditch, oh darling I won’t even think of it… anymore ‘Cause I loved you I loved you I loved you More than I hate me I hate me I hate me I loved you I loved you I loved you More than I hate me I hate me I hate me I loved you I loved you I loved you More than I hate me I hate me I hate me I loved you I loved you I loved you More than I hate me I hate me I hate me

"Cause I loved you / I loved you / I loved you / more than I hate me / I hate me / I HATE ME"

[@ashleym791]

You're the best!! I've been searching for this for so long, thank you!

[@charlotteutschig2010]

Yes this is one of my favorite songs of hers!!!! Thank you so much!

[@harveyblue2248]

"In my head there's a Greyhound station where I send my thoughts to far-off destinations" "Or last call at the Greyhound station" "I loved you" on repeat "I loved you Guinevere" on repeat Coincidence, no? It breaks my heart to know that such a beautiful girl could feel so sad, but I also couldn't help but notice the familiar lyrics because I'm an intense Death Cab fan, as well as loving Julien's music.

Painting Well Again my Blessed Angel #yup

[@MickaS809]

Why isnt this out anywhere?

[@drjimmy73]

is this a b-side from Sprained Ankle or a new song? thanks for sharing!

[@aslpqrtvwqz]

It was a song from a collection of holiday songs for an organisation called Punk Talks. Unsure where the compilation disappeared to, but it was called Jingle Yay.

[@drjimmy73]

thank you!

[@sopjoe3440]

I think it was a very limited run because it was for charity so they took it off bandcamp once all the copies sold :(

[@alphabetterthanu]

Where'd the 2018 NPR video go?

[@Jawnjawn4949]

NPR requested it be taken down, unfortunately. Seems that its up on their channel now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jovHn6RrqbNorKs

[@skateanddank]

[@rangka-ESAF]

The melody kind of reminds me of Japanese anime music. Beautiful singing by Julien though.

[@daniellos333]

She needs to stop picking at her lips. You can see the damage she's done: it's a bad habit.

[@MsUberPenguin]

what

[@spencerwilliamson4807]

Plainview: saving lips, one bad habit at a time.

[@charliejohnson8683]

It's probably a nervous or anxious habit. She's very outspoken on mental health - probably really difficult to kick. I'm sure she's aware of the damage.
