#JulienBaker #FaithHealer #Little Oblivions - Hudba
i know this song is about julien’s battle with addiction, but when i first heard the lyrics i couldn’t help but be reminded of my own battle with bipolar disorder, and how i sometimes find myself missing the manic episodes because when you’re experiencing them, you don’t realize the toll it has on your life. everything’s out of focus, almost like there’s a kaleidoscopic veil over everything. you know it’s bad for your health but you want it back because it doesn’t feel bad when you’re experiencing it. nothing feels bad.
My kaleidoscope is terrifying, exhausting, and alienating. I never want to see that place again.
Phoebe saved my 2020 for a bit, now time for Julien to pick up the slack
agreed
Julien's saving early 2021 :)
That means we're gonna need Lucy in early 2021.
Does this mean a boygenius reunion in 2022?
Don't forget Sasha.
Julien's music makes me sob like a small child.
Here’s hoping Lucy also releases a new album soon, and when thing return to normal all 3 can tour together. The only thing I know for sure is that we all need more boygenius in our lives.
real! also I have good news for you!
JULIEN BAKER SONGS HAVE DRUMS NOW YES
I'm glad they have drums too! Now they give fresh air to her music
Yeeeees!!! 🙂❤️
A couple tracks on Sprained Ankle have drums low in the mix but yee they definitely kickin dis time
i think distant solar systems has drums too
I think she’s taking hints from The National!
God the textures on this thing are gorgeous.
I love this. To me it feels like it's showing how we're all surrounded by the shells of our purpose and trying to fight who we are to become who we want to be. The struggle of watching your childlike faith crumble into a shard of hope
i read that this song is about vices and addiction. in the beginning you see two men who look exactly alike fighting against each other in a church, which i think can symbolize a TON of things depending on your faith/religion, but to me it talks a lot about struggling with one's self. fighting yourself. you see a man watching over them. it cuts to julien for a little bit and then you see the old lady all by herself scanning what it looks to be a bible and it feels like she's kind of obsessing over the words and the meanings. it cuts back to the men fighting and by now you probably suspect the two men are simply one. all these people look like they're fighting against the same things: hurt, obsession, lack of faith. julien sings "faith healer, come put your hands on me" and it cuts to the people. the two men have finally stopped fighting... maybe they've finally found peace in their faith or maybe they've begun to make peace with the things they cannot control. it finally ends with "i'll believe you if you make me feel something."
it's such a beautiful video, and godddd i love everything about the lyrics.
The fighting visual reminds me a bit of shadow boxing “you watch me throwing punches at the devil
it just looks like I'm fighting with me”
Also, to note, they're twins.

When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
„Your banking collapse was deliberately masterminded by the Antichrist so that when your countries needed help, he and his wicked minions would rise to rescue your countries.“
„He will wait until wars rage everywhere.
Then he will step in and create a false peace in the state of Israel by joining them with palestine in an unlikely alliance. Everyone will lavish praise on him.
He will not stop there, for he will move at a pace which will astonish many and he will negotiate peace agreements in many war-torn nations.“
"He will impress everyone with his knowledge of all things sacred.
He will recite extracts from My Teachings, which he will passionately proclaim from every secular stage in the world, until people sit up and take notice of him."
The Book of Truth
In a way this song gives me the feeling that we are not alone in our inner struggles. And
that`s a nice thing.
Don't miss the "snake oil dealer" part of the lyrics.
2:34 Literally me hoping Julien's music will keep me sane in lockdown.
Julien is so brilliant she deserves so much more recognition
Anyone hear a hint of Frightened Rabbit in this sound? I totally love this direction she’s going!
Yes, definitely!
that was the first thing that i saw listening to it the first time
Yes, especially the opening chords
Same chords as "How it gets In" she sang with Scott. Beautiful tribute to m'y ears.
She is so underrated. Really awesome music
It's the first time I've heard anything from her and in 3 minutes I'm her fan ❤️
You're in for a treat.
welcome to the family
Welcome. Milk and cookies on the left, boxes of tissues on the right.
I am a fan since 4 years. She entered my soul with the first bars of a guitar riff. Don`t re-
member what it was. Might be the studio version of ``Turn out the lights.`` I wanna recommend
this to you.
I first saw her on a Tiny Desk concert and was instantly hooked. “Claws in Your Back” is my current favorite - always devastating, and so hauntingly beautiful.
i cannot wait for little oblivions. literally every day i remind myself that i’m one day closer to its release!!
I don't know what we did to deserve Julien Baker, but I'm sure it wasn't enough.
We love Her and want Her to be happy 😟 She gave us beautiful pieces of Her soul and we treat it like treasure 🙂❤️💐
when i saw this released, let me tell you I SPRINTED to the computer
i pre ordered her album during my english zoom call...oops
I love how this video was filmed with social distancing. The only two actors who ever get close to each other are the two brothers (who for all we know, may live together), and it looks like everyone almost always stays well over six feet away from the camera. (There are a couple of suspect moments there, but they could easily have been achieved with a good zoom function, or in one spot, setting up an unmanned camera on the ground.) Julien herself never even enters the scene except through a computer screen (probably so she wouldn't have to create an additional hazard by flying to and from wherever the video was shot), and the man trying to touch her through it is a perfect metaphor for the human connection we're all so desperately missing these days. And somehow everything we see makes sense in context, and fits the themes and the aesthetic of the song. Artistic video production in the time of Covid.
Jb with the beautiful sadness and that perfect tele/reverb tone. Bring it!
Ryan got me here :)
This song gave me a warm feeling in my body, I mean, it's great to have Julien back.. I'm waiting for the new album so much and now this song is what I'm sticking to daily.
I just heard this in Sims 4. Now I'm addicted to both Simlish and original
Thank you for putting such thoughtful and genuinely lived things into such beautiful music. Proudly named my Telecaster after you. I aspire towards this genuine an artistry some day.
brb crying this song is so beautiful
Been on a JB binge for the last 5 days, and then this drops out of nowhere (?). Good timing! Love how electronic-y this sounds
!
i’ve been on a binge for literally 5 years, every year she’s my most played on spotify
I really love her playing. It is a simultaneously modern and electronic and traditional guitar. She's really creating something unique.
i love seeing the improvement of her music videos it’s really impressive. her music has always been genius and it still manages to get better, i cant wait to see what she makes in the future
For the love of God, thank you because I’ve missed this woman😭😭😭
I've been watching this over and over again trying to puzzle together the pieces. Even though I cannot relate I still feel that there is something profoundly beautiful with this piece that I cannot put into words. It's amazing.
Thank you Ryan for this masterpiece!!!
It's giving me First Reformed vibes
exactly what I thought
Ah yes, the cathartic cry I’ve been needing
"Faith Healer, come put your hands on me.
Snake Oil Dealer, I'll believe you if you make me feel something."
Song of my life.
SHE'S BACK!!!!! With another touching song that makes you wanna cry ❤
Can’t wait for February 26 😭
This new sound is a little bit murkier than I’ve come to expect, lyrics obscured behind crescendos. I think the absence of clarity pairs well with the subject of battling vices. Can’t wait for the new album!
really good way to describe the chaos in this track
Exactly what I was thinking but couldn't articulate. Thank you
Could've been written a little less pretentiously, but I agree. The background noises throughout add a ton of symbolism.
@@icanmakeeverythingilovedie9861 it isnt necessarily bad to be pretentious if u mean it jajajaj
Bless your eloquence
Powerful song, beautiful voice and melody... so happy to have just discovered this amazing artist.
There is this smoldering energy always underneath that could explode into flames at any time it seems like in her songs. New to the JB party but glad I made it
Lyrics:
Ooh, I miss it, how,
How it dulled the terror and the beauty
And now I see everything in startling intensity
Oh, what I wouldn't give
If it would take away the sting a minute
Everything I love, I'd trade it in
To feel it rush into my chest
The smoke alarm's been going off for weeks
No one showed up
And half the time it isn't what you think, oh
Faith healer, come put your hands on me
A snake oil dealer
I'll believe you if you make me feel something
Oh, faith healer, come put your hands all over me
The snake oil dealer
I'll believe you if you make me feel something
Thank You Friend 🙂❤️
thank you sm! i believe the first lyric is "oh i miss it high" :)
Final verdict: It *is* "I miss it, how, how it dulled..." You can hear it really clearly here (plus, it's just a good live version of the song). czcams.com/video/fPN2zZhjZRc/video.html
I just heard your music for the 1st time this morning..and it's all I've been listening to ever since. It's impressive how far out on your sleeve you wear your heart for your music..and it's cool that you can be as honest as you are in your lyrics. If only I knew you. I know what it's like to be stuck in the clutches of the darkness, and there are things that I've seen that would cause most people to cringe in fear upon hearing about. Even though your path is probably full of different circumstances..I guarantee you've got nothing that'd cause you to see the backside of me as I ran away. I know what it's like to need somebody around who might possibly be able to understand you..after all..I'm a little older than you and I'm still wishing I could find that person.
Julien Baker single handedly saved 2020
She propably had to use both hands in the making of this.
god julien, you've done it again
This is amazing. We’re proud of you ♡
great voice!
i love the red carpet scenes. just so much my favorite
Cool drums!
I listened to your cover of Fell on Black Days and now Faith Healer. I can tell you I'll be following you in your music career. Best of luck!
Sounds like she's diving back into Frightened Rabbit, inspo-wise!
I absolutely see this! Could totally see Scott performing this song.
julien your music is medicine for my soul. it moves me to tears or to joy or tears of joy at times. i bought a copy of the silver version of sprained ankle for my friend and she adores it as much as i do. i preordered little oblivions from 6131 records on the clear with yellow splatter vinyl, preordered the digital from bandcamp and after seeing your msg on bandcamp today preordered the clear yellow with opaque yellow and black splatter vinyl from matador then came here to watch this (i have my notifications for everything but bc muted and sent only to my notification screen which i rarely check) and it’s brilliant. i have turn out the lights and boygenius on vinyl too and everything you’ve released on bandcamp (compilations and audiotree too) i just love your music and want to support your art as much as i can because it helps me through so many tough times. there are times i feel so down and i put on your music and if it doesn’t make me feel better it helps me relate to it so that i can cry it out or just deal with those feelings and move through them until i’m ok. you are so talented and your music is truly a blessing to have in my life. i’m so grateful for your art and little oblivions gives me something to look forward to for the next four months. thank you so much for sharing your gifts with the world. i appreciate it more than words can express and i’m sure i’m not the only one that feels that way. i wish you all the best! stay safe and healthy. i hope you are having fun and enjoying the experience of life and finding music that makes you feel as deeply as yours does for me! warm wishes and all the thanks i can possibly offer! ~slowdusted =^_^=
I hope you're recovering from that snake bite on your butt, Julien. But I'm glad that that event and Ryan Hailey could inspire such an amazing song.
I wonder if Chris Hansen keeps up.
By the way if you search like Memphis the Acorns there's video of the two of them performing
Beautiful song as always. You never disappoint 💙💙
dueling vices and haunted past all locked up in a church sounds like a JB good time
I love this music video
More please.. I need it.
So, she's given us a pretty good idea of what the song's about, but can any of you make much sense of the video?
The only thing I'm reasonably confident about is the wrestling twins representing a fight with oneself, because it seems like the most evident symbolism in the entire video, has been pointed out by several people, and it's also a recurring theme or image in her lyrics.
There must be some significance to what's going on on the screen they knock over (around 0:55), but I'm not sure what we're watching there, anyone?
Photocopier lady is anxiously copying the book but then appears calm not much later. I wonder if it's the ritual of the copying itself that is soothing. And whether she's supposed to just be looking at the picture in her hands towards the end, or there is any specific meaning to her turning it over.
Polo shirt guy is an enigma. Unless his vice is McDonald's, his distress seems to be caused mostly by being a powerless bystander to the wrestlers/Julien, whom he literally tries to "put his hands on", but to me in a sincere, not a snake oil salesman kind of way. Or maybe he has deep-seated issues his Julien Baker brain rot is preventing him from dealing with, of course.
Then there's the smoking thing that looks like an engine on a crane (coinciding with the "smoke alarm" in the lyrics at 1:15). I guess I can sort of see the symbolism there, but there's a good chance I'm completely wrong so yeah, I'm going to pump the brakes right here.
The "blood" and the plastic bag or sheet also look like very deliberate inclusions that I can't explain.
Amazing as ever!!!!
I have been watching this for two hours now and it's fucking beautiful
just watched a feature about you in german television. happy 😊
I NEED to watch this again and again and again everyday because it heals me
❤ from indonesia
i’m going insane
I came here from Ryan Hailey's video, and was curious enough to listen to the actual song. And I may not be a music person but wow this is really good
i didn’t think music could move me to this degree, but julien always does it
Got this song on repeat !
Omg this new sound is so amazing i love it so much. So damn beautiful.
This is a cure for Sunday anxiety
Boy howdy do I love Julien Baker
Love love love this video. How appropriate for the times we live in, the relentlessness of human nature and slow crawl of evolution. What a beautiful and equally devastating time to be alive.
"Faith healer come put your hands on me, snake oil dealer I'll believe you if you make me feel something."
Love the richer musical layers, feels like a natural progression for her. Can't wait to hear the full album.
What a gorgeous, haunting song & video.
exactly what i needed
Pleaseee do an acoustic/live version 🤩
Thank you for blessing us once again 😭
She is so fragile and delicate, I want to hug Her 😭💐 Love for You all Friends 🤗🌹
Thank you, J.B.! Just awesome!
Just coming back to listen to this 🔥
"Faith Healer" is #1 on the New Alternative 40 Chart for the 2nd week!
Thank you..... watching the news for weeks and this explains what needs to be talked about❤️
thank you for this.
Julien Baker makes me feel something.
Yeeaa more Julien Baker!!!!
WOW, Stunning Vocals
This is so powerful!!❤
1 month later but whatever, Julien always sounds like a broken heart, and it's a feeling we somehow love but never want to be
Swooooooooon ❤
Such a good song🤙
Im thankful that Julien keeps doing what she does
My most favorite artist always knows when to save the day for my sorrowful heart🖤💖
Can’t wait for the new album. 2021 is already better than 2020
Hey Linda, I’m listening now!

Songs that needs a part two
Thank you so much for this beautiful piece of art
the best kind of sadness

welcome to the family, you're in for a treat (my recs for songs that will destroy you are rejoice, go home and sprained ankle)
Beautiful Song.....
[Verse 1]
Ooh, I miss it high, how it dulled the terror and the beautyAnd now I see everything in startling intensity
Oh, what I wouldn't give if it would take away the sting a minuteEverything I love, I'd trade it in to feel it rush into my chest
[Verse 2]
The smoke alarm's been going off for weeksNo one showed up and half the time it isn't what you think of
[Chorus]
Faith healer, come put your hands on me
A snake oil dealer
I'll believe you if you make me feel something
Oh, faith healer, come put your hands all over me
A snake oil dealer
I'll believe you if you make me feel something
Stoked beyond belief - don't ask, don't tell
This is beautiful, Julien! 🤍🍂✨
