[@FroggyTWrite]

hard to believe this was 8 years ago..

[@fatpaws]

The sound quality on this is ridiculous. All hats off your sound engineer(s).

[@OurVinyl]

+Nic N Thank you Nic! We pride ourselves on that so the compliment means a lot :)

[@nunoconceicao2877]

+Nic N I was just thinking that. Some amazing work there on sound quality. Congratulations!

[@Liveyourlife247]

+OurVinyl I agree gave me goosebumps. May I also inquire what gear you used for filming?

[@BePlayingHard]

+Nic N For Real.. sound quality makes a huge difference

[@joshuacarrig9370]

I was just about to comment on it. The all around quality of the channel (content and production) is beautiful. Well done.

[@danman6669]

Julien's crying at the end really makes the song. A person can tell that this song wasn't written to make money. It was real, genuine emotion and the world needs more songwriters like that today.

[@robbie0495]

Pretty sure she just has the sniffles

[@C0VlD-19]

Shut up

[@illbeyourstumbleine]

I think it may have just been cold and she had a runny nose. I didn’t see or hear any tears but I could see her breath. No way to really know I guess.

[@everettshirtliff]

Evokes emotions like nothing else. Can’t stop coming back to this.

[@OurVinyl]

We're right there with ya. Julien is one of our favorites, thanks for tuning in!

[@user-ks1dz3mm8k]

Me too.

[@EJG-b1b]

god what a voice. this whole song is like a cry in an empty room, pleading for an answer, but the person you want answers from isnt present, and the only things that can hear you is the tile and wallpaper.

[@karikaroyt2689]

The way she sounds legitimately disappointed that the pavement won’t answer her... Wow, I love this person and hope the best for her.

[@justmart4455]

Damn you worded that good.

[@Mark.H.9192]

@@justmart4455 so did you, Alisya, so did you. Be well.

[@chullovida6346]

It’s true, I actually knew the pavement. Great guy but yeh just never answered her, super sad

[@MississippiDave]

This was the coolest thing I've seen all week. And I saw a deer running through the woods so I've seen some cool stuff this week.

[@OurVinyl]

+Mississippi Dave Deer are majestic creatures so that's saying a lot!

[@DelScully]

+OurVinyl so is Julien tho! haha

[@Cas_anova]

+OurVinyl idk about that but they taste great.

[@andy-bm1kt]

max caufield, is that you?

[@richardtwine1655]

predictable jock comment. how about appreciating beauty instead of killing shit all the time?

[@sebastienleroux4872]

4 years later, it's still the heaviest and most moving thing I've seen on youtube. God I love her.

[@krackajackz]

Same!

[@robertgilbert4208]

she is great but.. M.O

[@geeklette99]

The sniffle at the end breaks my heart everytime

[@troyrice7813]

It got me right in the feels. 😢

[@andrewmcpherson4258]

seriously though.... Who hurt this girl that much for these words to be writen?? I mean, damn, right in the feels..

[@DianaOUmana]

My exact thoughts! And such beautifully written songs have come from her pain

[@hannahallexandra3160]

Andrew McPherson seriously, it actually makes me cry sometimes because she deserves all the stars in the sky im crying

[@frankthegoblin5889]

Andrew McPherson She used to do a lot of drugs and while she was recovering on thing she went to was song writing. It's safe to assume it has something about that.

[@antnybeard69]

Chill out.

[@andrewmcpherson4258]

Obviously never had your heart broken...

[@johnvanvliet9574]

Can't believe its been 8 years since this was posted an still watching often. Pure passion, gives me goosebumps

[@roryobrien5164]

I'm convinced this is the best video on KZbin

[@bgo7697]

Wrecked my day in the best way

[@prairiedog1312]

I like this version even better than the studio version, you can feel the emotions in both, but this is so raw.

[@OurVinyl]

+Elizabeth Bloomfield That's our favorite compliment! And yes, her emotion in this version is SO raw, she's amazing.

[@feroth9259]

The sound, setting voice and lyrics are beautiful. Truly heart touching.

[@alexanderf2121]

I know this is old but I keep coming here from time to time and I must say that you guys made a masterpiece on this. Perfect sound and the cinematography that just takes my breath away. Even the little hair flying attached to the microphone cable looks like poetry against that sunlight. Kudos. Your work here is timeless.

[@twocentscinema8587]

The power and emotion coming off of this talented young woman is out of this world! What a tune. And what melody she plays. Seeing her cry makes me wanna cry.

[@irishgirl81498]

She is just everything.

[@stoneburner95able]

Anytime I want to listen to this song I always come back to this version. So beautiful.

[@OurVinyl]

Thanks for coming back and watching!

[@swiftheadkick]

honestly same the quality and those sniffles at the end get me every time. Im so happy she is doing so well in her music

[@Shakejunt241]

“ I knew you were gone months ago” fucking hit

[@mrsflyingfox]

I saw her in Toronto in 2016, she was an opening act for some other band. Other people were taking during her performance and not really paying attention, but for me time stood still. Still mesmerised by her.

[@888hayd]

In love with her guitar playing in this song. It's haunting and mesmerizing, and her lyrics are soulful and written from the heart. Big ups Julien, love from San Diego!!

[@moresoduh]

More love from San Diego! She should play a concert out here!!!

[@somuchforthissleeve]

To anyone just going through comments, disregard this one. I just need to vent. I'm sitting in a closet listening to this song helplessly sad and afraid like I've always been when my depression overtakes me. It feels pretty to cry to this song. Thank you for sharing this song and video.

[@jeffboyardi]

i don't know you or mean to pry but is there anyone you could talk to or knows how your feeling?. i tried not sending this out of weirdness but i have the same battles and couldn't say nothing. hope your not going through it by yourself. take care of yourself

[@somuchforthissleeve]

Jeff Mackenzie thank you. And I felt like I didn't have anyone when I posted that but I have a few amazing people who know I struggle with this and who try to be there for me. This song really is beautiful though and with the video and how I was feeling...it really hit me haha. But thank you. You're not a total weirdo (:

[@thisisfela]

Milton Robles the fuck.. why does everyone has depression nowadays? not trying to be insensitive or something but most of you have a pretty good life in a first world country and don't need to starve n shit. be grateful for your life and stop crying over stuff that's only in your head. ...be happy. just saying

[@NickOliverMD]

Jah Gringo it's less about circumstance than it is biochemistry. Everyone wants to "just be happy," but depression isn't exactly a mind over matter type of thing.

[@zachjollimore4339]

Jah Gringo half the people with depression don't actually have depression. As a depressed individual. I find it belittles the actual suffering depressed people go through. just saying. if they say they have depression and its a sad post. they're just really sad

[@batzic]

I have rarely been moved by a performance to that point. And I'm a 62 YO sound recordist on location… (and no, we will not make an extraordinary recording when music is not there. We are just serving the artist.) Great artist, great song, great sound, great picture. You got it all. Thanks.

[@samsepoil2111]

That’s pretty sad if you haven’t been moved by a performance in 62 years :/

[@trickster_qc]

@@samsepoil2111 I think he meant that it's one of the things that moved him the most

[@celestinaparisi6959]

I sincerely consider Julien one of my favourite artists, she just pours every ounce of her being into what she does, and that raw emotion is so contagious. . Not many musicians that can pull you in like that these days. Really hope she comes to Australia at some stage. Stunning.

[@brachlandmusic]

Even thought I am not feeling sad at all - listening to this one brings me down to me deepest feelings. Not sad or anything else, just - feelings. This tune is so true, so pure. Thats what people call "talent" to just be honest within your music.

[@patiodee]

She is an unreal talent for someone so young. And the sound quality of this recording is amazing. Great job!

[@OurVinyl]

+patiodee thanks so much for the kind words. So glad you enjoyed it!

[@tomkmb4120]

So much emotive power coming from something so deceptively small. Julien's music kills me.

[@drath3046]

Lyrics: I know you're sleeping by now But I'm still up walking around The walls of my skull bend backwards And in like a labyrinth I knew I was wasting my time Keep myself awake at night 'Cause whenever I close my eyes I'm chasing your tail lights In the dark In the dark In the dark I know you left hours ago I still haven't moved yet I knew you were gone months ago But I can't think of anyone else I should have said something, something, something But I couldn't find something to say So I just said nothing, nothing, nothing Sat and watched you drive away And I just let the parking lot swallow me up Choking your tires, and kicking up dust Asking aloud why you're leaving Pavement won't answer me And I just let your silence swallow me up The ring in my ears tastes like blood Asking aloud why you're leaving again I know you won't answer me And I know I meant nothing, nothing to you But I thought I meant something, something, something But I just said nothing, said nothing, said nothing Sat and watched you drive away Watched you said nothing, said nothing, said nothing I can't think of anyone, anyone else I can't think of anyone, anyone else I can't think of anyone, anyone else I can't think of anyone, anyone else I won't think of anyone else

[@Vaco67]

Man...that fade away from the mic at the end was just...perfect. Beautiful song.

[@youtubeyoutubeyoutube9961]

The fucking audio in this performance. Great job guys. Could only imagine the gear you all use.

[@Cas_anova]

+youtubeyoutubeyoutube top notch gear and no skill would make a shitty recording, this could've been recorded trough a cheap presonus or motu interface and no one would ever beable to tell. just supersaiyan

[@Cas_anova]

The credit has to go to the engineers instead of the gear is what this Cas dude is saying, I think.

[@Clayton.Thompson]

I really appreciate the fact that she moved herself to such raw emotion by the end of the song. A million words could be said about this but i think a three letter one does it best...WOW

[@howlongs2416]

Can Julien actually have a bad performance? She's always so flawless vocally and musically.

[@Alab4sterMusic]

I found this video from my recommended section on some random 2:00 AM in 2016. I was wasted as hell off a break up and this performance destroyed me. I watched it four, maybe five times in a row. I've now seen Julien Baker live twice (and both shows were incredible) and moved on from those dark days, but I'll always be thankful that I ended up on this channel on that night to discover this amazing artist. Thanks for the incredible live audio quality and video production for this song :).

[@OurVinyl]

Thank you so very much for the kind words, it' hearing comments like this that inspire us to keep at it! So happy you found our channel :)

[@jimgreen242]

Julien is such a special musician.

[@tommcalpine7968]

Every once in a while a talent like this will hit you with all of the raw emotion that is music and leave you speechless. It will speak levels to you and cut to your core. It's a rare thing but when you hear it, you know it instantly. Congratulations girl, you have some huge fans here in Australia, and you're destined for great things!

[@okidokibuddy]

She's the coolest person ever.

[@haukesteinbachmusic]

+Red Shorts She is :)

[@haukesteinbachmusic]

+Mickey B Hahah cute :D

[@danielcee7746]

HOLY FUCK THIS IS GORGEOUS, EVERYTHING ABOUT IT, THE SONG, THE CINEMATOGRAPHY, WOW

[@OurVinyl]

So glad you are digging it! Be sure to check out the other songs from the session as well.

[@Manaviecreations]

Daniel Cee 😂👍👍👍 amen

[@emile7794]

I continue to watch this about once every month or so, and it is never any less emotional

[@OurVinyl]

Thanks for coming back and watching!

[@endmoraine121]

I honestly think this saved my 3 and a half year relationship, which is 5 and a half years strong now. You're so perfect. Unf.

[@OurVinyl]

Wow...

[@dondraufi]

On a Julien Baker marathon right now!

[@kaimorgan5831]

Daniel Weber same

[@danman6669]

She's become my favorite musician. Ever since I discovered her on AudioTree a few months ago, I can't get enough of her.

[@awesomeface265]

My whole life is a Julien Marathon

[@jjota80]

A marathon listener, my ears are sprained

[@sleepingmarso]

Have u heard of boygenius? That's her and Phoebe Bridges and Lucy Dacus and its magical, out of this world.

[@redletter1130]

She is beautiful as well as her music

[@Tito_Mikko]

how can you, as an artist, be so dragged in by a song that it droves you to tears? that's just amazing.

[@lukeofficial9436]

Because most of her songs is about her pain. Maybe she is still struggling against this. I hope she can win bravely

[@jeremiahfernandez9161]

That sniff at the end crushed me

[@OurVinyl]

+Joepet Fernandez Same here, every time...

[@fukutaichou1903]

I usually obsess over an artist especially when they're really beyond "good" it's crazy. I'll be obsessing over this gem of a talent for the months to come

[@123wazoo]

My gosh, first hearing Julien Baker. I just had to dropped everything and take a moment to appreciate her wonderful song.

[@Bborg19]

if these Julien Baker session recordings were pressed on vinyl I would buy them in a heartbeat!

[@brownkemosabe]

She's magical. Absolutely fell in love with her telecaster, her lyrics, her voice and oh my goodness such beautifully engineered sound!

[@YoManSan]

The way she pours her soul and all her feelings each time she performs this song is amazing! She only has a few songs out now but she's already become my favorite singer. Can't stop playing her songs, especially Something... She's special for allowing herself to be so vulnerable and honest through music. Such a small and frail body holds a soul of infinite size!

[@OurVinyl]

Soooo special indeed...

[@FabiansBlog]

Have a beautiful day, a beautiful week, a beautiful life everybody in the comments. Everybody in the world. Be happy guys :)

[@BEATRIIIZOLAAA]

This is my favourite Julien song. I love her talent tremendously.

[@melissastricks3785]

From 02:30 on it reminds me word for word of my true love that I have met on one of my travels. Goosebumps until the end.

[@ttidforever7416]

So poetic. So Beautiful. This song invades your Soul, and it doesn't just tug the Heartstrings, the thing you're missing chokes you with them. It's that moment, where the Earth moves, but you stay silent, and your body reverberates with the deep loss of someone who was once so deep inside of you. An ending.

[@jeffersontafarel3341]

This singer will have a great future on music.

[@mykeclyry5321]

The first time I heard/saw this I didn’t know what she sounded like and I was thinking oh cool this indi/ punk kid is gonna sing about how stupid the world is then she starts singing and my jaw dropped. I love that kid. Really

[@GhostyChives]

Here in Nov. 2020. Years later and I'm still listening to this perfect song. I miss "her" so much :(

[@MrZimharry]

whoah.........old souled music wrapped inside such a young waifish shell.........whoah........setting, production and sound all working..............

[@krackajackz]

Can't stop coming back here. This is a masterpiece. Vocals. Visuals. Everything. Feels man.

[@SantiYounger]

Amazing song!! the light work is majestic, great cinematography!!

[@OurVinyl]

Thanks so much for the kind words

[@shudderkid42]

i try to only listen to this song when i'm driving alone late at night because i can't help but scream it out. i feel this deeper in me than even i can grasp and it's worth all the throat pain in the world to have this song because after i scream it out i can't quantify how much better i feel. thank you for this song and all of the others, julien baker. i appreciate them and you more than you know

[@johearn1984]

This song help me get through a lot of tough times

[@ItsPhilH]

Damn, such an impressive find. Her vocals are so lovely - no gimmicks, just raw emotion.

[@OurVinyl]

+Phil Hankins Music Yeah those vocals are certainly something else...

[@kristianmurphy4606]

Julien is such a terrific singer and guitarist

[@conormaguire6633]

That's JUST a beautiful thing. X

[@brianmulhall4969]

This is beautiful. The live footage enhances the already great song.

[@OurVinyl]

Thank you, Brian!

[@Toxicinparis]

This song just brings pure emotion man

[@ereny.8836]

OurVinyl is my new tool for exploring some gifted music. A big thank from Turkey.

[@OurVinyl]

Hey thanks so much Eren, finding good new music isn't always so easy these days, we're glad to be of help to you! Greetings back to you from Nashville, USA.

[@brandonlillibridge8763]

powerful talent. beautiful. idk how have i never heard of this girl

[@ryanarnold1726]

Asking aloud "Why you leaving?" but the pavement won't answer me...this song man.

[@earyar57]

Love the clap she does. Also this is the BEST version of this song. ❤

[@adrikpo7334]

The sound quality on this is ridiculous. All hats off your sound engineer(s).C

[@underthelamp9193]

Her pedal work is so subtle and well executed

[@Daviejones1024]

Raw. beautiful. Majestic, my god man. Innocent at the same time........ It's magic before your eyes... The inner workings, or truths rather, are what get you. Realism.

[@ezstark1062]

Such a huge soul in Julien. She is destined for big things... Great job on the sound and video!

[@OurVinyl]

+Eric S Thank you very much Eric, that means a lot. And we agree, big things are in store for Julien!

[@danman6669]

I've never seen her cry. She always seems so happy. I know her music is melancholy, which is why I love her and her music so much, but I never knew that she actually showed emotion on stage. She has just gained even more respect from me.

[@knifeforkandaspoon]

TFW you come across a random YT video and strike gold. Audio mixing is ridiculously on-point!

[@OurVinyl]

Thank you! We love to hear that :) Make sure to check out the other videos from our session with Julien.

[@darwin5802]

Still can't believe how good the sound is. Great work!

[@OurVinyl]

Thank you so much Darwin. Filming/recording outside can be a challenge, but when it works well it's so much fun for all involved!

[@mysss29]

any performance in which the musician is crying...is probably pretty powerful.

[@trentmcdonald5301]

julien has an amazing way of imparting her heartache. i feel every regret. she breaks my heart in the best possible way!!

[@richardschofield5951]

nothing flashy nothing over the top and no computers to cover up anything just pure talent and pure skill very well and beautifully done

[@lbee8710]

Imagine hearing about a time so painful being sang about so unbelievably succinctly, perfectly and beautifully.

[@hunterprescott2305]

Julien never ceases to amaze. Absolutely beautiful music!!

[@kryssybee]

This song was released when i was pregnant with my son. I would be driving around listening to it, singing to myself, singing to him. As the months went on my son's father grew distant. 2yrs later I found out he was having an affair at the time. This is so fucking fitting. I think in some ways I just always knew

[@keelyromero7026]

the sniffle at the end BROKE MY HEART

[@valorousbeatz852]

I cry with her every time I hear this song

[@Jacki79]

Absolutely beautiful, so sad, so raw, such a beautiful cry of the heart for love. She's so authentic and her pain has made her wise and her talents a healing hand❤️

[@OurVinyl]

Well said, Sunflower.

[@iank7192]

Julien's music is like a medicine for my wounded heart and depression.

[@wittogoom]

songs like this make me want to drink... so beautiful it hurts

[@oliverevans7853]

Completely agree with most of the comments here. Listened once, as soon as it finished. Back for another listen. [repeat x 10] Gorgeous voice - love the simplicity and the build throughout. It's a thumbs up from me.

[@josephmccafferty199]

When concerts are good again. I can't wait to take my daughter to see Julien Baker (hopefully in the Boston area). We are both loving her so much right now!

[@jonathanlerouxi]

Lucky me, I have just discovered this amazing channel this Sunday on a rainy day. It's never too late to find good singers. Cheers.

[@FadoraRawrz]

This song never fails to calm me. Both the voice and guitar sounds are just so beautiful

[@kayachan5126]

I've been searching for this artist and this song! So glad I found her again.

[@OurVinyl]

Glad we could help ya!

[@orangeadventure975]

This music video has better cinematography than some major Hollywood movies.

[@OurVinyl]

Collin Stacy thanks so much for the kind words! That's our goal on our channel and we hope that by filming at as highest qualify as possible that people will appreciate the music more. Have you seen the session we did with Morgan James? You might like her too!

[@SleepFan771]

Julien Baker has become my fav folk rock act now. I'd also recommend Chelsea Wolfe's Unknown Rooms for something similar.

[@allofthemmilkingwithgreenf7493]

Never thought of that comparison. Both incredible artists, though, that's for sure.

[@gulay4u]

I like your lupe profile pic.

[@brandonsteffen1749]

ChrisSanctum and your RATM one is also dope

[@dhamavika5817]

Ocean Sage --- yes, Chelsea Wolfe is a great one also ❤

[@DagzTheClown]

The Lumineers. Purely amazing. And yes Julien is amazing too

[@uchihadarwin28]

Man, this is really beautiful! The music, the ambiance, the vocals, the guitar , the mix, the cinematography and everything!

[@FrankMalaba]

Heartbreakingly Beautiful. Thank you for weaving music into a safety basket for our souls. Sending you love from Cape Town, South Africa.

[@e.wright8461]

Such a beautiful human being. Thank you.

[@thepotentpineal6843]

I can feel my heart beat in my ear when I listen to this song

[@Daviejones1024]

Julien Baker has what it makes period. So good. I heard her 3 years ago. Thought I would see her name in lights by now. C'mon people...
