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:
I know you're sleeping by now
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
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've said something, something, something
I couldn't find something to say
So I just said nothing, nothing, nothing
Sat and watched you drive away
I just let the parking lot swallow me up
Choking your tires and kicking up dust
Asking aloud why you leavin?
But the pavement won't answer me
I just let the silence swallow me up
The ring in my ears tastes like blood
Asking aloud, "Why you leavin'?"
But the pavement won't answer me
I know I meant nothing, nothing to you
I thought I meant something, something, something
But I just said nothing, said nothing, said nothing
Sat and watched you drive away
I just 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 won't think of anyone else

The sound quality on this is ridiculous. All hats off your sound engineer(s).
+Nic N Thank you Nic! We pride ourselves on that so the compliment means a lot :)
+Nic N I was just thinking that. Some amazing work there on sound quality. Congratulations!
+OurVinyl I agree gave me goosebumps. May I also inquire what gear you used for filming?
+Nic N For Real.. sound quality makes a huge difference
I was just about to comment on it. The all around quality of the channel (content and production) is beautiful. Well done.
The way she sounds legitimately disappointed that the pavement won’t answer her... Wow, I love this person and hope the best for her.
Damn you worded that good.
@@justmart4455 so did you, Alisya, so did you. Be well.
It’s true, I actually knew the pavement. Great guy but yeh just never answered her, super sad
Evokes emotions like nothing else. Can’t stop coming back to this.
We're right there with ya. Julien is one of our favorites, thanks for tuning in!
Me too.
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.
Pretty sure she just has the sniffles
Shut up
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.
4 years later, it's still the heaviest and most moving thing I've seen on youtube. God I love her.
Same!
she is great but.. M.O
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.
+Mississippi Dave Deer are majestic creatures so that's saying a lot!
+OurVinyl so is Julien tho! haha
+OurVinyl idk about that but they taste great.
max caufield, is that you?
predictable jock comment. how about appreciating beauty instead of killing shit all the time?
The sniffle at the end breaks my heart everytime
seriously though.... Who hurt this girl that much for these words to be writen?? I mean, damn, right in the feels..
My exact thoughts! And such beautifully written songs have come from her pain
Andrew McPherson seriously, it actually makes me cry sometimes because she deserves all the stars in the sky im crying
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.
Chill out.
Obviously never had your heart broken...
The fucking audio in this performance. Great job guys. Could only imagine the gear you all use.
+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
Wrecked my day in the best way
Can't believe its been 8 years since this was posted an still watching often. Pure passion, gives me goosebumps
I like this version even better than the studio version, you can feel the emotions in both, but this is so raw.
+Elizabeth Bloomfield That's our favorite compliment! And yes, her emotion in this version is SO raw, she's amazing.
Anytime I want to listen to this song I always come back to this version. So beautiful.
Thanks for coming back and watching!
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
So much emotive power coming from something so deceptively small. Julien's music kills me.
HOLY FUCK THIS IS GORGEOUS, EVERYTHING ABOUT IT, THE SONG, THE CINEMATOGRAPHY, WOW
So glad you are digging it! Be sure to check out the other songs from the session as well.
Daniel Cee 😂👍👍👍 amen
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.
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.
She is just everything.
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.
That’s pretty sad if you haven’t been moved by a performance in 62 years :/
@@samsepoil2111 I think he meant that it's one of the things that moved him the most
I'm convinced this is the best video on CZcams
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.
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
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 (:
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
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.
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

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
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.
She's the coolest person ever.
+Red Shorts She is :)
+Mickey B Hahah cute :D
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!!
More love from San Diego! She should play a concert out here!!!
She is an unreal talent for someone so young. And the sound quality of this recording is amazing. Great job!
+patiodee thanks so much for the kind words. So glad you enjoyed it!
On a Julien Baker marathon right now!
Daniel Weber same
She's become my favorite musician. Ever since I discovered her on AudioTree a few months ago, I can't get enough of her.
My whole life is a Julien Marathon
A marathon listener, my ears are sprained
Have u heard of boygenius? That's her and Phoebe Bridges and Lucy Dacus and its magical, out of this world.
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.
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 :).
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 :)
I continue to watch this about once every month or so, and it is never any less emotional
Thanks for coming back and watching!
how can you, as an artist, be so dragged in by a song that it droves you to tears? that's just amazing.
Because most of her songs is about her pain. Maybe she is still struggling against this. I hope she can win bravely
Man...that fade away from the mic at the end was just...perfect. Beautiful song.
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.
Wow...
“ I knew you were gone months ago” fucking hit
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.
She is beautiful as well as her music
That sniff at the end crushed me
+Joepet Fernandez Same here, every time...
Have a beautiful day, a beautiful week, a beautiful life everybody in the comments. Everybody in the world. Be happy guys :)
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
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
The sound, setting voice and lyrics are beautiful. Truly heart touching.
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!
This is my favourite Julien song. I love her talent tremendously.
TFW you come across a random YT video and strike gold. Audio mixing is ridiculously on-point!
Thank you! We love to hear that :) Make sure to check out the other videos from our session with Julien.
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
Can't stop coming back here. This is a masterpiece. Vocals. Visuals. Everything. Feels man.
Can Julien actually have a bad performance? She's always so flawless vocally and musically.
My gosh, first hearing Julien Baker. I just had to dropped everything and take a moment to appreciate her wonderful song.
i love her so much
She's magical. Absolutely fell in love with her telecaster, her lyrics, her voice and oh my goodness such beautifully engineered sound!
whoah.........old souled music wrapped inside such a young waifish shell.........whoah........setting, production and sound all working..............
Here in Nov. 2020. Years later and I'm still listening to this perfect song. I miss "her" so much :(
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!
Soooo special indeed...
Love the clap she does. Also this is the BEST version of this song. ❤
if these Julien Baker session recordings were pressed on vinyl I would buy them in a heartbeat!
This singer will have a great future on music.
This song just brings pure emotion man
Amazing song!! the light work is majestic, great cinematography!!
Thanks so much for the kind words
This is beautiful. The live footage enhances the already great song.
Thank you, Brian!
Julien is such a terrific singer and guitarist
powerful talent. beautiful. idk how have i never heard of this girl
Damn, such an impressive find. Her vocals are so lovely - no gimmicks, just raw emotion.
+Phil Hankins Music Yeah those vocals are certainly something else...
Still can't believe how good the sound is. Great work!
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!
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.
Wow, feels like sunrise in my head.
Well said
The sound quality on this is ridiculous. All hats off your sound engineer(s).C
Fuck, she is good. More than good.
More than good for sure.
I just realized she is growing on me.
lol ikr, she's a great guitarist, and has a beautiful voice
I cry with her every time I hear this song
Such a huge soul in Julien. She is destined for big things... Great job on the sound and video!
+Eric S Thank you very much Eric, that means a lot. And we agree, big things are in store for Julien!
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
Julien Baker has become my fav folk rock act now. I'd also recommend Chelsea Wolfe's Unknown Rooms for something similar.
Never thought of that comparison. Both incredible artists, though, that's for sure.
I like your lupe profile pic.
ChrisSanctum and your RATM one is also dope
Ocean Sage --- yes, Chelsea Wolfe is a great one also ❤
The Lumineers. Purely amazing. And yes Julien is amazing too
Goddamit it's been like a month and I can't stop listening
Haha her music had the same effect on us
i'm going on like 6 months..... it doesn't go away.
Chelsie Legersky i managed to stopped after about a year. i think i'm relapsing
I still haven’t moved yet
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.
I love everything about this performance.
that voice....
You are shredding Julien Baker

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!
julien has an amazing way of imparting her heartache. i feel every regret. she breaks my heart in the best possible way!!
That's JUST a beautiful thing. X

Well said, Sunflower.
I can feel my heart beat in my ear when I listen to this song
Not normally our thing, but this is next level awesome.
Julien never ceases to amaze. Absolutely beautiful music!!
Asking aloud "Why you leaving?" but the pavement won't answer me...this song man.
Just bought the album thanks to these Our Vinyl performances.
+SuperBant Definitely worth getting that one! We're so glad to help ya find some new tunes.
Ughhh love this so much, the vocals, guitar and cinematography. Cant wait to see her live in a few weeks:)
You're going to enjoy that show...
Her pedal work is so subtle and well executed
Props, guys. This is an absolutely stunning take - acoustically, visually, emotionally.
+Collin Lamkin We really appreciate that Collin! So glad you are enjoying these videos.
the most accurate real life Max Caulfield. It's fucking ridiculous. :D
Yeah I love that charakter and evenly the "real life" version ;)´
Max is ugly though, julien is adorable...
Can´t go with that buddy.
aw :( i know max isn't real, but i thought she was pretty cute
I started listening to music similar to the music in Life is Strange and found Julien just out of the blue that way! haha
Such a beautiful human being. Thank you.
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.
I just put her on for my 12 year old daughter. I gave her the "maybe there is hope for music speech".
That's a very important speech for her to hear... :)
Verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!
+Kyle Olckers Ooooooooooooooo Yeeeeaaaaaaahhhhh
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
beautiful song, great voice with super clean sound quality ... flawless 😍
