i love hearing raw vocals from julien, especially after hearing her speech at MSG about finding her voice. she is so special. her lyricism is painfully relatable and healing in the same sense.
If depression doesn't get me and I'll get to live to be an old lady and if someone's gonna ask me about this era all I'm gonna say is: "It was very scary and confusing time but there were these three women that loved each other very much and they made something that felt like pure magic and it made the weight of existence a little bit more bearable."
This comment made me cry because I feel the same. I'm glad we're here to experience this magic together, internet stranger. Sending my love to you through the ether.
Thank you all for the lovely responses, made me a little teary how much love can be shared within total strangers on the internet. Sending love and positive vibes right back at you.
This one hits hard for me. As someone with autism, I always felt seperate from other people. There has always been me, then everyone else, neither for nor against one another; just separate entities with very little in common. When I was a teenager, I used to write stories about superheroes and wished I could actually escape into my own world. I wanted a world where I was loved and people cared about me. I wanted to belong somewhere, I guess. I'm older now and it's easier to be different, but the pain is still there. Still kind of wish I had superpowers to make everything better.
OMG!! Bursting into tears! As the Dad of a young adult with autism - I see this every day. I'm standing there on the other side, always trying to find a way in. I know there is only so much that I can do. Sometimes just patting the back, giving a smile, and laughing at silly things is all I have. Never feels like enough. But, as you said, time goes on and it all slowly becomes what it will be. Sometimes it all seems reversed - Like I'm the one that is stuck and he is the one that is really free. Is love given always love received? You DO have superpowers! The hum of your contact and the sound of your collisions are just at a different frequency. :-D
I don't speak for everyone on the spectrum, but for me, personally, the easiest way to let me exist as myself in the presence of others is to allow me to unmask. I understand, in regular society, I need to look people in the eyes and watch what i say, but, at home, it's nice to not be corrected. When I was a teenager, I spent most of my time at home in my room because I felt that was the only time I could relax and just exist without being rejected and corrected. I know that's a difficult task for parents, because their job it to prepare their kid for society. But for me, i need a safe spot to be me. Hope that helps.
I just learned Julien thought that would be deleted from the final track but it was so perfect everyone insisted they keep it in. Also recorded in one take...
It's funny how people ask - "who is your favorite boygenius?" I must confess the answer changes with nearly every song I hear. After listening to Powers, it is definitely Julien...after listening to Afraid of Heights - it's Lucy; after hearing Voyager - it's Phoebe. And when they fully collaborate, I love them all equally. No band has enamored me more ... ever. I have yet to hear a song that I don't absolutely love. Thank you, boy genius, for the pleasure, the introspection, and the connectedness with the universe and humanity I experience through your beautiful music and your presence in this time and space in my life. By the way - I'm a 62-year-old musician who has heard and loved a ton of artists and bands in my day. Sending much love and much gratitude for all you do.
I don't think I can quite sum up how this made me feel, for one the memories as echoes in the back of the songs were a spectacular part to include. Everything about this year for them has been a wild and loving series of adventures, not easy to get through but they were able to make it together. To create, connect, and collide with souls who reflect back not only onto you, but with you is a truly one in a lifetime chance. Something extraordinary and bright, like a star passing, over and over again. Their powers come from uplifting one another in a melodic way I am incredibly lucky to witness, and luckier to have shared with someone I care about. Boygenius have opened my heart to the tale of friendship, to love itself in such an undefined and wonderful form. They have changed my life, and I will forever remember how much this year has done for myself, for them, and everyone else, and others who have yet to come. I love you boygenius. Forever.
This song..... the videos.... OMG. I can't even deal right now. Am i right - in that this is jb's little autobiography? When asked - how did you get your powers - she walks us through her life, and then on a comet's tail she ends up where she is now - and it's not falling into a nuclear reactor and acid skin that make her able to do what she does -- it's the relationship with pb and ld - in that "the force of our impact, the fission the hum of our contact the sound of our collisions" are what give her the superpowers. A tribute, a compliment, the gratitude of taking her from where she was - ready to give up music and performing to selling out MSG. I think her speech at MSG said as much as what I'm trying to convey here.
Romeo and Juliet rhymes, but you don't even know it. This song makes me think of that. I'm humbled to have heard it, and will listen to it again and again.
Lucy seems like the sibling that mothers you when needed, Julien is the one you feel very protective of, and Phoebe is the one that is gonna kick someone’s ass for hurting you
I wish I could’ve went to experience that live. I got a ticket for the philly show when the pre sales open. Sadly I could not have been able to go to the philly concert. Because I got tested positive for covid 19 and was sick and I had give up my concert ticket. I wanted to go badly but didn’t wanted to risk my health or others. I was so excited to maybe have a chance to see them perform live, but couldn’t. It sucks being sick and missing a concert you have been waiting for a long time to see. I hope you had an amazing time at the concert. It looked so cool from pics and videos from online. Definitely when the boys go again on tour in the future I definitely will purchase a ticket. Thank you Boygenius.

can you share a link please? :)
YESSSS!!
@@leonasirac5650joelrchan's video of "Anti-Curse" at MSG includes that.
@@leonasirac5650 I saw it on IG. Can't remember who's feed. It was a day or two after the MSG show
the outro of this song feels like its the end of an era. thank you boygenius.
Julien's lyricism is next level. She's a genuine poet.
If depression doesn't get me and I'll get to live to be an old lady and if someone's gonna ask me about this era all I'm gonna say is: "It was very scary and confusing time but there were these three women that loved each other very much and they made something that felt like pure magic and it made the weight of existence a little bit more bearable."
hey I pray it doesn't get you. I'm happy you're here..
This comment made me cry because I feel the same. I'm glad we're here to experience this magic together, internet stranger. Sending my love to you through the ether.
If you could fall in love with someone over a comment,I've definitely found my person . Thank you whoever you are ,you explained it so well

i have heard this song on repeat since it came out. it makes me feel hopeful, like my life transcends mortality
"*sigh* how did it start?" over the pics of Lucy and Phoebe with their tits out made me laugh involuntarily
I cry every time i hear Julien's breath at the beginning. By far a top 5 favorite boygenius song for me.

If Julien is one of Nature’s failed experiments, I don’t want to see nature succeed. I love what your sole brings to your music.

the sigh is everything
Boygenius music always heal me. Thank you so damn much, guys. ♥
Sprainked ankle album era vibes. Love Julien so much
they have literally got me through so much. boygenius❤️🔥
super appreciating the pen(man)ship right now. highly familiar and really nice to look at for me
the stem girl in me is oddly satisfied when they sing about blackholes & nuclear reactors & entropy & supercolliders
This song sounds like Bob Dylan trying to recite a Marvel movie from memory. Love it
The cadence and melody of this is massively reminiscent, in the best of ways, of a David Bazan song. Truly stunning
WE LOVE THE BOOOYYYYSSS
