You know a musician is great when they inspire you enough to dig around for their interviews, live performances and whatever else to know them just that little bit more.

[@trisha9061]

Hassan Aftab true! this is exactly what i'm doing right now lol

[@johnnybs7]

great? wow you've led a sheltered life pal

[@tone92565]

Dam...that's me LOL

[@skippy9659]

She deserves the deep dive. I’m impressed...

[@gonzalovazquezavila535]

If you find yourself wanting to know about them more, and digging through their interviews, then maybe she is also a great person

[@Grace-rt7ts]

God, I love when her english degree comes out. The way she speaks is just so thought out and beautiful. She’s SO emotionally intelligent and articulate.

[@JTEsterkamp]

Man she has one of those faces that just oozes empathy and warmth

[@brendantaylor3570]

Libras, always very attractive, pleasing, balanced in appearance and demeanor.

[@karolinanie5946]

Oh, so beautifully said, thank You JT ❤️🙂

[@danielchmiel7787]

@Jacob Dick yes probably I was, but my question was about zodiac signs ;)

[@katiee4396]

Yes, a very kind face

[@rebo9607]

I'm in love with the way she expresses herself, the flow and choice of words. So well thought out and yet so genuine. Not unlike her music.

[@jessielakes8118]

You said it right on.

[@McDoggg]

This is the first interview I've seen of her, and it's remarkable how straight up eloquent she is. Most artists can explain their music well but she's aware of it on a level I haven't seen very often.

[@chaerriya]

her talking voice is so comfortable to listen to omg like we all already know how amazing she is at singing but listening to her speak is so nice

[@aubreythomas4477]

she’s just everything to me. I love her so much. What an incredible person

[@ernielara9599]

She is just beautiful

[@martinparidon9056]

Yeah. Big eyes, large smile. Really wonderful

[@eshiadeserriere8913]

I'm in love with her

[@garyives1218]

my lord her ability to articulate her thoughts is as stunning as her music......very very exceptional

[@bloodmoonlit]

I can listen to her speak all day.

[@robertohernandez4486]

Same

[@els1f]

I think I've been doing that today 🤔😄

[@jiesus2596]

Asmr feels

[@hulkh3489]

Honesty transcends genre

[@martinparidon9056]

That's an amazing quote and bring a fan of both Touché Amoré and her, I feel the same passion and honesty in both. Even though the music is so different.

[@stefaniedc1128]

jesus christ my heart kept breaking the entire time she was talking about her past relationship ending. i wouldnt have been able to hold it together quite that articulately -- no matter how much time had passed.

[@Tranqx]

c'est la vie

[@Fealnographs1]

she reminds me of cat power

[@brendantaylor3570]

I think what Julien is articulating in her eloquent, mature way is a lesson in resiliency. I completely relate to her quote near the end when she says (paraphrasing), "Why do we keep going and subjecting ourselves to more inevitable pain." I often think the same thing on a daily basis. Yet when you overcome a trial, you become more resilient and you develop a deeper sense of gratitude for what you still have. Her expression, her art speaks to this. That's why we bother, because beauty, in all its forms and disguises, can pull us through.

[@leeaaa11]

she’s so calm and sweet in this interview. her voice sounds so sweet hehe. i love her so much she’s such a sweetheart 🩷

[@floatmyboat721]

She’s so smart it literally hurts my feelings. If I ever encountered Julien Baker, she would look at me and pity my stupidity. And that just bums me out

[@leonmayne797]

She probably wouldn't.

[@floatmyboat721]

Leon Mayne you’re right. She’s too pure

[@strangebrew1231]

Don’t be so self deprecating. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy to always talk yourself down

[@joanalovesyou]

THE WAY THEY ZOOMED IN ON HER WHEN THEY ASKED ABOUT A BREAKUP 😭🤣 8:36 I LOST IT

[@loganwelty7094]

This woman has changed the way I view and create music. She creates magic. Great interview

[@RD-cm7ym]

"What did your first album do to you?" My word. What a strong strong question. Great interview.

[@DianaOUmana]

She's such a beautiful and thoughtful person. I'm amazed by the way her mind works. Her art is so needed.

[@tinavogel7966]

People like her keep this world glued together ❣️

[@SamaAndTheCosmo]

She is an inspiration. To me she is the epitome of the human that feels so much but is still able to express not only feelings but thoughts with eloquence, grace, honesty and compassion. I've met her at her concert and was also amazed by how much she 'listens'... A true empath, most beautiful!

[@disappearlikethemorning8220]

What a genuine and down to earth woman. Love her music.

[@Christian_Luczejko]

I can’t believe she is 22 in this video. Such an old soul. Not to mention stunning.

[@OneLeft1971]

This young lady is incredibly articulate! I'm amazed at her reflections of the lyrics and how her life experiences have influenced her art. I had not heard of her prior to her appearance on Colbert, and now I can't get enough. Truly impressive!

[@emanuelzhimrules]

I want her to cradle me like a baby. Shes so warm and empathic. Just have her cradle me while i cry after a long past couple of years while she tells me its gonna be okay.

[@LJPorcello]

Just heard of her today because of a Jason Isbell tweet. Very late to this party. Whenever I stumble across an artist this talented & thoughtful, it makes me wonder who else I'm missing.

[@nik3287]

i love how she says oh my gosh

[@swarleysheen9016]

Julien she do an asmr video. She has a great voice for it and a very comforting personality.

[@teca986]

wow, the way he zooms in after he asks her about the breakup...

[@tashuntka]

Never heard her speak more than a sentence or two before... I am so gobsmacked.... I now bow before thee and worship you my Queen...

[@michellegibson3691]

I was introduced to Julien Baker's music by my boyfriend, and we went and saw her in Lawrence, KS last year. We are planning to attend her Lawrence performance this year too. I can't wait to go and see her perform some of her new songs!

[@naturada137]

god she's so thoughtful and insightful it's really awesome :^) what a cool human

[@daschmalzgurke1120]

Id just love to hug her and say thank you She is such an inspiring and wonderful artist

[@triscat]

I am in awe of this person. I don't even have 1/100th of the emotional intelligence that is displayed here.

[@lucaspintooc]

You know, I think that there is a language barrier between them but in some way it adds more to the question, it's amazing

[@gonzalovazquezavila535]

She really gave it all in this interview

I love Julien so much.

Can you imagine how happy her father is! (I hope) "Hey, I've always loved guitar, but I never had the chance to play. I think I'll buy a guitar." ...Daughter becomes HER! 😭❤️😄

Can heavily relate to the fall out boy story

[@oofergang304]

Hey I love touché also

[@nebulka-]

so sweet

[@AntoniaSusanMusic]

this interviewer was annoying, i felt bad for julien. Just because her songs reveal deeply personal things doesn't mean she wants to discuss those deeply personal things in interviews- and it was really uncomfortable the way he asked her if shes a lesbian, as though thats relevant to her music.. felt like he was exploiting her and really asking her questions she clearly didn't want to answer... she did incredibly anyway but wow dude needs to calm down

[@frarfarf]

mate when you interview somebody the point is to ask questions and get answers

[@foodepedia1373]

Yes the alternative is to have the interview controlled and what use would that be?

[@heyguidance]

i luv her

She’s so sweet and smart but this interviewer makes it feel like a casting couch scene

[@versnellingspookie]

Is it his accent?

[@airwaveshorizon]

This interview looks like a kidnapped girl in some run down motel with some shady guys asking for money to her parents. Guys come on this is the longest and the intimate interview with julien and you rent a run down motel placing julien in the corner, great ideas.

[@guyb7005]

uhhh - most articulate 22 year old artist ever? wow - gives any curmudgeon hope in the next generation

For the life of me I couldn't figure out if she was a her or if he was a him. I hope I said that right. I don't want the woke gestapo after me. Lovely voice whatever the case.

[@JHWJHW]

Julien Is Just Lying For All Of Yall Man

[@williamnilliam]

See the thing with Julien is she writes music that attracts people like this interviewer. Then she is uncomfortable talking about what she writes about.

[@ezra.3000]

No one: Interviewer: wa-wa-wat wat

[@1blackfrend]

You know your old when you so desperately want to 'get it' about a well hyped artist so you watch interviews with them to try and solve the elusive-emotive-imp 'it'-angsty-indie-darling movement of the times. Billie Ellish your next🤔
