Julien Baker - Sour Breath (Live on KEXP)

[@WittenmyerMusic]

This song breaks my fucking heart everytime i hear it....

[@xmegelx]

I come back to this hauntingly beautiful performance often and its affect on me never wears out.

[@oliverbperez7686]

Some day I hope I compose something as beautiful as this. She has become one of my favorite lyricists and songwriters of today.

[@edgepixel8467]

@ Oliver B Perez That's pretty easy: IF 1. You're serious about this wish of yours 2. You have a similar amount of talent THEN 3. Just suffer as much as she did There. You're all set. You can thank me when you get there.

[@sarahpartridge4424]

Yes and yes and then yes and yes. yes. She is amazing

[@khonsuthecore4788]

I think this is my favorite song of all time. This version gave me chills. And I'm crying. Everything I want from a song.

[@Unearthlywhales]

This might sound dumb but... one of my favorite things about this performance is hearing her stomp pedals. Makes me feel like I am actually in the room.

[@vinukigajadeera2667]

wooohw thx for making me notice thattt

[@zachjollimore4339]

yeah you just said exactly why i prefer her live videos over the studio versions. you can hear her in the room, her lyrics are so personal, we just listen for those personal lil nods, and she is a musicians favourite

[@Jordymonn]

The violin really adds another level of sadness to this song

[@dylanthehappysloth3868]

These lyrics are just gorgeous

[@itsadreampromiseme]

Does anyone else feel like Julian Baker somehow got access to your brain? Her lyrics are so beautiful but so honest. It's like she understands the pains of mental illness and the shit shows it leaves in a way so few can. It's almost eerie how she can say exactly what I am feeling in a way I struggle to.

[@otzenfree1998]

The human condition is universal and our existence is not isolated. We share a reality and because of that share feelings, emotions, and perceptions. Obviously not everyone, but we are not as unique as we were taught to believe we are.

[@Sapperman89]

The original is amazing. I see why TDWP were inspired to make a cover!!!

[@silentc21]

They made the cover as a thank you cause they found out she covered tdwp songs a while back

[@bassycounter]

@@silentc21 did is actually really neat information to have and very wholesome

[@tylernewell7792]

Not alone in finding this from tdwp and not disappointed this amazing

[@counterconflict]

It's enjoyable just listening to it but reading the lyrics, it's just wow!

[@brucevalrey7745]

I felt EVERY SINGLE EMOTION.

[@brandonsheline8459]

3:06 for the cutest smile ever.

[@sukygill9998]

The harder I swim, the faster I sink. This has been me the past 4years.

[@АнжеликаВасильчук-о3н]

Same

[@beige2kewl]

hope ur doing okay

[@Julius_Caesar-1]

❤❤❤

[@Denden-mx9gl]

Thanks to TDWP I found this amazing artist

[@mohdazmin0417]

If you watch Julian baker on audiotree,she mention she have a metalcore cover band play TDWP stuff way before TDWP cover sour breath.

[@JohnnySHOTGUN-08]

SAME! Literally just Yesterday for me tho 🤯 🎶🎵

[@idkblueee]

this song always makes me cry

[@BloodnightStudios]

jeez louise these lyrics are heartbreaking.

[@TheLounette]

I know you do better when you're by yourself Free from the weight of my dirt poor health New drugs to fix all my missing cells Didn't bring it up, cause I've done so well this week And I thought that if I tried a little bit harder you'd change your mind I've still got nowhere to be, and I don't do too well; nobody's worried When nobody's worried about me [Verse 2] But I shouldn't have built a house in the middle of your chest Plywood boards joined at your breast Splinter in my arm where you rest your head Checking my watch till you come to bed Kiss me goodnight with your sour breath Breaks on my face like a wave of emptiness And when I talk just taste regret You're everything I want and I'm all you dread [Bridge] Watch the poison leak from your pores Think all the liquor's gonna keep you warm Burn everything down to prove you could Leave me inside in a body made of wood In a body made of wood [Chorus] Oh, the harder I swim, the faster I sink The harder I swim, the faster I sink The harder I swim, the faster I sink The harder I swim, the faster I sink The harder I swim, the faster I sink The harder I swim, the faster I sink The harder I swim, the faster I sink The harder I swim, the faster I sink

[@hpebackwards]

i got dust in my eyes

[@charlesbolton8471]

Chip Olmstead The only reason it is possible is because she has lived/is living it.

[@edwardkelsey3033]

She's just so special

[@anakbaliti]

Here after the tdwp cover

[@jakecornett5083]

Same here bro. Haha love this song too! She rocks

[@OtakuRicky]

Same, dude!

[@turkishdelight600]

Good for you...

[@williambarbosadasilva9536]

SO DO I!

[@michaeljohnbalbiran6034]

definitely. ahaha

[@Hitome143]

This song deserves more love

[@brownkemosabe]

You've come a long way Julien 😊

[@tylerpelkey2519]

In a weird way this version shows the sadness and pain that comes from the alcoholic relationship where the TDWP accomplishes the same but on the flipped side of emotions both amazing and yet both have a different reaction....if that makes sense . Keep it up you’re amazing.

[@Sirmackerel]

This recording of Sour Breath is a certified banger!

[@antoniovitor9478]

Eu te amo mulher

[@chairmankaga101]

She's just... really great.

[@queens2nd2none]

Just heard this from a random shuffle on my Google Home... This exact version. Was hard to find cause I didn't know the title but the lyrics took me to a more metal version, saw another song by her in the suggestions, clicked, saw this in the suggestions of that other song by her and I'm finally here... I love this song, feel like this sounds better than the other version I heard. She has my attention, now to listen to more of her music.

[@DiaryOfDefeat]

Troy Stone the devil wears prada does the metal version, both are amazing lol

[@obsolence4118]

DiaryOfDefeat agreed! I you’re a fan of this, I’d suggest people to check out the band Daughter

[@WittenmyerMusic]

I really wanna do a song with her shes so freaking amazing!

[@blastfiendsunite420]

Wow, I just fell in love..

[@glandjanting223]

[@miasanmia2519]

I think I’m responsible for about 50k views

[@angelusway]

Wow, nice. Got to be some goodness here.

[@justinwisdom4950]

Why was there so much more effort put into this version of the song than the recording for the actual album.

[@lvn4104]

precisava chorar

[@russianFB7442]

Tdwp EMPOWERED this song. But she made it.

[@coalescence6133]

I don't do too well when nobody's worried

[@zoechuang4278]

i want to hold her in the palm of my hand she is so small

[@АннаТараторова-ь5я]

Смотрю,Вас, из русского города Нижний Новгород (раньше,он носил название Горький. И был закрытым. Мы жили под занавесом.) Люди, были всегда разными, добрыми или злыми. Только меня время не изменило. У Вас красивая песня. Жаль, не знаю английского

[@brodaoxoxtobox230]

Know this song from TDWP covers.

[@natesoserious]

[@chikinsami4230]

I am actually. There’s nothing wrong with discovering an artist through another. If anything it’s helpful

[@charlesbolton8471]

kodye whobrey I’m here because I discovered her in Memphis in 2014 before her first album came out.

[@christopherwilliams5808]

TDWP did it better.

[@luiswite01]

Christopher Williams Dude, shut your mouth please.

[@calebanderson9160]

Both versions are good but in different ways.

[@turkishdelight600]

That's just like your opinion man.
