    About Julien Baker:
    A Memphis, Tennessee-based singer/songwriter with a knack for finding the shaky ground between heart-wrenching and cathartic, Julien Baker's stark and soulful music invokes names like Bon Iver, Daughter, Birdy, and Natalie Prass. Baker honed her skills while playing in her high school band Forrister, with whom she continued to perform while attending college. After writing a batch of songs that didn't seem to fit the band's more rock-oriented vibe, Baker headed to Matthew E. White's Spacebomb Studios in Richmond, Virginia to begin recording what would eventually become her solo debut, 2015's critically acclaimed, 6131 Records-issued Sprained Ankle.

    Lyrics:
    All of my friends, a plastic bag
    Walking around, jumping the train tracks
    It's over the fence, veins are black
    Sleep on the bench in the park on my birthday
    Caught the blue lights
    Cursed your name
    When I find I'm still awake
    And you give me everything good
    I'll throw it away
    I wish I could quit but I can't stand in shakes
    Choking smoke, singing your praise
    But I think there's a god and he hears even when
    I rejoice, and complain
    I never know what he's saying
    But I think there's a god and he hears either way
    And I rejoice, and complain
    Lift my voice, I was made
    And somebody's listening at night
    With the ghost of my friends when I pray
    Asking why did you let them leave
    And then make me stay
    Knows my name and all of my hideous mistakes
    I rejoice, I rejoice,
    I rejoice, I rejoice

      She reminds me, in a way, of Leonard Cohen. Not so much stylistically, but both of them make a lot of songs with this overarching vibe of "Lord I believe, but we're gonna have a real long talk about some of this shit when I get up there". They both display the apparently rare gift of being able to write spiritual music that doesn't preach at you and isn't filled with the same tired platitudes.

    This.
    I have no explanation for it. It's something more deeper than words can express. This is the absolute reason why music exists. This rhythm, this melody, this symphony, this melancholic feeling it manifests, this voice, this girl.

    I'm in love. Honestly, had the album on repeat from 8 am to 8 pm while working. So much emotion in her lyrics, her playing, her expression. I haven't felt so close to an album in awhile. I don't think she understand how much all of this means; how hard it hits. Feels nice not being alone.

      I wouldn't go that far. But it does shed a bit of light on the perceived darkness, sadness and self-loathing in her lyrics. I imagine it has to be difficult to reconcile her religious beliefs and her sexuality. I can never understand being a member of a group that hates you for who you are. :/ I feel terrible for her when I hear this song... and I hope she finds her way out of the fairy tale sooner than later.

    These videos are soooo well done OurVinyl! Wow! Bought her album this week because of these recordings! I'm in awe of this girl! Her music is inspirational in a way that doesn't happen too often.
