WILLOW - symptom of life (Bass Cover)

[@lichewitz8905]

This is one of those songs that I never heard before, and now if I ever hear the original, it will be missing Julia's playing

[@84nk5y]

Absolutely my thoughts when hearing this!

[@gabrielbotelho7809]

Check out willow's tiny desk, this is the first song they play. Im willing to bet that Mohini Dey's playing is what inspired julia to pick up this song as she follows some of the ideas haha

[@84nk5y]

@@gabrielbotelho7809 I will definitely do that, thank you!

[@MickeyM2002]

This happens every time on every song...I feel like something is missing, And i'm like: oh yeah Julia haha

[@KyleB_RCR8]

Almost 40 years playing drums and she always adds something to the percussion side that is fresh and fluid. Her playing is inspirational to so many musicians. Wouldn’t you agree?

[@jaymonster125]

Kudos to Julia for choosing a piece of music that features one of the great, young bassists in the world, Mohini Dey. Aim for the Stars!

[@numerical_error]

There's a music piece called "Day by Dey" that she plays with Gergo Borlai. The video is 8 years old now, but still present on his channel. It was the first video of her that I've seen and I still can't believe it's 1x speed. It's like the scene from the Matrix: "Take a look at that neurokinetics they're way above normal". 🤯

[@naccienac]

Mohini only plays in Willow's live band, Chris Greatti played bass on the recording

[@jaymonster125]

@@naccienac Thanks for the clarification

[@LycoLoco]

Thanks for shouting out the original bassist! I didn't/don't know their name and this highlights them wonderfully!

[@gmahovlic]

OMG, ever since this song release I've been thinking 'Julia's cover would be perfect' AND I WAS RIGHT

[@Owlbear26]

MY THINKING TOO!! So glad to see a Julia cover 😍

[@ValuelessPond22]

Julia’s move of blasting the nastiest fill into a spot where the music stops for a “yeah” will never fail to hit so hard

[@carpediemarts705]

Um... I listened to it a few times and haven't found this moment. Like which one is NOT nasty?

[@King_Mephisto]

That chorus is sick but the fills/runs in the bridge are insane. I just learned about this band and I love their vibe and their tiny desk concert was amazing.

[@braveheart9097]

Nah Willow is clearly a studio artist. Her live voice is totally off key.

[@King_Mephisto]

​ @braveheart9097 kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZm9coealNp-qJo Like I said, I'm new to her music, so maybe she's had terrible live shows but... her vocal talent/range is indisputably displayed in the Tiny Desk concert. Maybe its just not for you.

[@braveheart9097]

@@King_Mephisto I'm a vocal coach. I saw the same Tiny Desk performance you did and it I thought it was clear that she is a studio artist only. She cannot hit certain notes properly without the help of ProTools. Share that video with any other vocal coach and see what he/she says about her "vocal talent/range" being "undisputed....

[@uber_stuber]

brooo even just the original track is a JAM. and your bass line just adds that much more life to it!

[@desmondn99]

Sublime again! You and Mohini Dey, both awesome bass players!

[@brandonlaws6636]

Drummer/musician for 30 yrs here. Julia, your feel is something special. Thank you for keeping this old journeyman inspired. ✌️🙏

[@vincentcuevas]

One of the best bass covers of Julia... this one blow my mind!!!

[@klchu]

Such a great song and now it's even better with the Julia treatment!

[@kevineldridge6958]

Incredible as always. You really are amazing. I shared your Ariana Grande cover with Leo Lopez from Lakland in Chicago. He was blown away and asked how he could get a hold of you. I think they'd like to get to know you. All the best Julia.

[@dariorodriguez7817]

What an absolute unit of a bass line. I didnt knew or heard the original song, but the bass line is amazing. Congrats.

[@RYzE_B3Y0ND]

She just keeps doing it. She makes songs so much better and then her versions are the only ones I want to hear. 😊

[@jujuba2815]

I really like your work, I bought a bass and started practicing because of you, I didn't even hear the sound of the bass in the songs, but now I don't listen to anything else❤❤ hello from Brazil

[@avdraad]

Hi Julia, I was listening randomly to your numbers since the songs with your base lines are just better songs than the originals and as you play the same kind of songs as we play in our band. But then I heard Symptom of life. This number has been for 2 weeks on repeat. And as written by many others: it sounds great with your bass line. I can not hear the song without your line. It’s not complete without the extra fills.

[@lion037]

This is how I discover music and artists that I'm unfamiliar with. Thanks Julia!💛

[@lyndarolle9417]

PLEASE EXCUSE TYPO. TYPING IN THE DARK.

[@Peter-Alexander]

You know, true, just like me!

[@LoopyChew]

You're more likely rediscovering her, as this is Willow "I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH" Smith. She has clearly come a long way.

[@anti-boomer2023]

Julia posted? Life is officially on hold for the next 3:08... I can't believe it's been 8 years since you posted Hysteria!! You were good, now you're great! I actually listened to your Bachelor of Arts Recital again this morning, it's incredible! Thank you for sharing your musical journey with us!

[@stephmo371]

this song is incredible. the tiny desk was so good. loved your cover

[@iblong9505]

You have introduced me to so many new songs and artists, and the fact there's a ripping bassist highlighted on the recording makes it absolutely bump in my truck. Thanks Jules.

[@christinek.2810]

The moment I heard this song I knew Julia wouldn't resist covering it. Breathetaking as always!!

[@azarealbheri6876]

Mohini Dey pride of India..thank you for covering this..!! Loved it!!

[@boscobaracus1823]

The tone on this one absolutely RIPS julia!!! Consistently awesome tone and playing I love your covers. I'm pretty sure I could listen to nothing but you playing bass and I would be satisfied forever.

[@toosleebee]

I fucking love this song and I adore your bass skills!! What an amazing combination! I love this bass rendition

[@edenite]

really digging this lakland julia era 😀😀

[@edwardlazell3157]

This is wonderful, really beautiful and creative playing. The one thing I'd change about the original is for the bass to be a bit louder in the mix, so this is now my go-to version!

[@souldreamer9056]

I’ve never heard this song before and I stumbled on this video by accident last week. Since then I’ve watched it 10x times. Addictive.

[@Usul]

The musicality of this line is impressive. Love it. Looks like it was fun to play.

[@AntaresMaitreya]

Mohini Dey, tough act to follow, but you're a brave & absolutely capable bassist, Julia, bravo!

[@kennogawa6638]

You must really like that Lakland bass. This is the third song in a row that you have played it when you usually rotate through the collection.

[@AlexandarShmex]

Lakland is a class above the basses she has and it's 35" with a monster B string. Her playing is the most important, but this bass sounds a lot better to me as well.

[@LucasJRice]

I don’t watch a lot of her videos but yes, she does play a lot of sterlings.

[@MalcNedd62]

Not surprised - they're great basses . I have two myself

[@boscobaracus1823]

this bass sounds absolutely amazing. julia has great tone with a cheap bass but this thing is on another level. I am definitely a fan of julia and it wouldn't break my heart if she only played this bass moving forward I think it sounds incredible

[@jcwdog]

Wow! That was just wonderful. You knocked it out of the park. You are very talented. Congrats for choosing this song and killin' it too.

[@craftsmanbuilders]

Geez man……you just keep getting better! One of your best!! Thanks for introducing me to an new song and artist once again.

[@Itsmescoots]

This is unreal! In the pocket like crazy, funky, harmonically interesting. Amazing!

[@sergioruiz-mier9163]

She improves in all dimensions. Amazingly beautiful.

[@pritch3426]

It's pretty great we can just listen to dope songs with dope bass turned up 10db from the release version. What a time to be alive.

[@mr.s.7081]

Awesome performance, as always! Dziękuję! And once again, I must thank you for presenting a great artist to someone who didn't know about her, and this time it was Willow. Really good song with beautiful harmonies, and with another time signature than just the usual 4/4 thrown into it. Now you have me hooked on Spotify to listen to more songs.

[@TheHeylel]

You totally blast it, love how you are in it, feeling the details of the line ! Congrats.

[@devildude64]

Beautiful,masterful job,as always,Julia!! I'm like most,if not every one of your subscribers here... I SO look forward to your next post!! Always makes my day when I see you've posted!! Thank you again,Julia!!

[@-jasmine-5509]

genuinely didn’t think this song could get any better but you took it to the next level, incredible performance!

[@tomywilkerson]

At this point, I'm convinced that Julia and a bass are the key to achieving world peace. I would never go out of my way to listen to Willow, but this cover just opened my mind. After this I feel like you should do some Dream Theater ;)

[@meloysmusicstudio]

That fast run at the end - WOW!

[@funkiu2]

This cover is amazing! Great song to do some of those crazy lines

[@nickcox3906]

I thought this song was a 13/10 before I heard this and now I can add to the songs I like way more after Julia has helped me appreciate them more. What a time to be alive.

[@emanm7991]

Great Job! Awesome tone!

[@jrisdr]

Thank you Julka for this beautiful piece. So fluid! You are the lyric poet of the bass guitar.

[@greyemrednus]

Great addition! Also I instantly fell in love with the use of the Everything-Chords in this piano riff, so beautifully and subtly jazzy.

[@mintsnap2857]

what's everything chords?

[@correametal]

Amazing like always Julia!!! It is always an enormous pleasure to watch and listen to you perform! Success and blessings to you!!

[@jackjangdude]

Was waiting for this one! The original bass track grooves hard but you took it to another level!

[@chema_skywalker]

Julia, amazing job!! That bass line sounds great. Keep going ❤

[@philippemarne1793]

Diving into tasteful jazz with a touch of prog with this one - You really can play everything, Julia!

[@natujs]

u are so good, i love your covers

[@shanefiddle]

Wow that hits so much stronger than the original! This song would make a great piece for a drum-bass-piano trio.

[@Erbay16]

When I tripped over this track the other day, wondered how soon you'd get all over it with a killer baseline... And there you go, coming up with the goods in spades, again... Nice work. :-)

[@pfoe]

Another artist i knew nothing about but am immediately struck by. Thanks Julia!

[@tamilaamanzholova3051]

I just started learning that bass part yesterday! Super fun song and a great cover

[@tonyantoine5823]

Of course you were gonna do this cover! I love that you personalized it but kept the nuances tasteful and didn’t change the basic melody. One more listen 🤗

[@MarcosSilva-q4f]

the possibility of tones that this combination of pickups delivers is absurd!!! I have a Cort GB 75 and it is magnificent.

[@teacher-sean]

Whew.. very nice! I recently got my first 5 string after many years of playing only 4 and it's inspiring to see what's possible with that added low string. The added bass makes this song really special! :)

[@johnblandersen1626]

Another Banger! Julia kills it every time! I have to get this bass player for my band before Dua Lipa hires her for the tour AND the studio. You are the real deal, Julia!!

[@stickster]

Spectacular! This album is 🔥 and you've made it even better. I love hearing the different sounds you're digging into on the Lakland too! These basses are killers with all the different sounds you can get from them, P to J to MM to hybrid craziness. That bass is definitely in the right hands!🤘🏻

Awesome job as usual Julia!! Can't wait till you get big and we can see you on Tiny Desk!

[@Ansis99]

:) as always superb! This new guitar is very James Bond`ish type of attack... :) The sound is really different. Neck pickup gives fullness but bridge gives agility! Together it makes spy agent movie sound! :)

[@mv11000]

Very imaginative bassline, great work!

[@madleenja]

OMG I love this song so much! 😍🥹 Your bassline is absolutely beautiful!! Listened to to the song on Spotify and was thinking, Julia could play along to it 😂 Just had to smile while listening to your version! It's such a treat!

[@danzirulez]

wouldn't call this a cover, it's a complete reinterpretation and it is absolutely amazing!!

I had a feeling you'd take on one of the new Willow songs just because of the interesting complexity. I'm really digging her new album and of course you always add a masterful touch to the songs you pick.
