I would love to have Julien as a teacher. I always hang on to her every word. Fuck, her take on good and bad brought me to tears, this girl always gets me so emotional.
this whole interview and concert is so beautiful and moving; Julien has such a brilliant mind, and an eloquent way of capturing deep emotional truths, whether through songs or speech. I'm so happy to see her well and exploring new horizons after what's seemed to have been a rough couple years, but a lot of personal growth and healing 🖤 I love that for her, and I love new JB music for all of us. I also loved Julien and Cheryl's discussion on her pursuing education of some kind down the line, and would 100% sign up for a Julien Baker MasterClass
I really appreciated your language in the interview. You have a definite ability to discuss emotion. Separately, you seem to use music to both punctuate and augment your lyrics. That’s a talent that I praise and regard highly. Thank you.
this was the first time I heard song in E in its entirety and wow, just wow, I actually fell completely silent and started sobbing, who allowed such a masterpiece to be created.
+++ to Cheryl for not only being a great interviewer but also managing to direct things back to playing the music, because I think I would just talk to Julien for like 5 hours. I realize it's her job and she's good at it, but ...yeah I'm pretty sure I'd just get into a conversation about things like epistemological elitism for as long as she wanted to tbh.
the Scott poster in the background breaks me. It must be so hard to recover from depression when one of your close friends and inspirations wasn't able to carry on himself
Just when you think Julian Baker can’t more clearly shed light on a topic, she tuns on a lamp. She is, in my humble opinion, one of the greatest song writers of our time. Such a beautiful sole.
I first saw Julien perform on Tiny Desk I believe around of after the release of Sprained Ankle. I was absolutely captivated by that performance and have loosely followed her musical ventures, many times via KEXP, since then. That said, I did not hear anything about this turbulent time that the new album is a reflection on. This interview is stunningly bare and direct and honest. The music is great as well - but this conversation sheds light on the kind of struggles we all confront but often don’t share or try not to acknowledge. Thank you KEXP and JB for bringing us all the beautiful music and also the humble/human discussion around a difficult subject and personal struggle by a truly gifted songwriter and musician.
I really didn't expect Faith Healer to come right after she spoke of "mourning that mythos" Nothing has hit me that hard in months Such a beautiful soul, and such beautiful music...
I love Julien so much and Cheryl Waters has to be one of my all time favorite interviewers. Also the portrait behind Julien of Scott Hutchison brought such a big smile to my face. :) ♥️
hardline reminds me of a song from her early days before sprained ankle!! her bands name escapes me but it's SOOO refreshing I'm so excited!!! edit: The Star Killers!! if you haven't heard them and you like jb, please listen to their album on bandcamp. you won't be disappointed
A very smart person like Julien harboring a wish to be a teacher makes me feel good for having the same crazy wish and going through with it. Don't know if she'll ever join us, but here's hoping smart people continue to be called to teaching, in greater numbers, so that the profession can be elevated. In the meantime... these songs are sounding so good, I'm imagining (dreaming) how good they'd sound live in a concert hall.
I have immense respect and admiration for Julien Baker as a human being and musician and I just want to mention that she is an incredibly tiny human being
What a brilliant woman... I found this very calming today Like talking with myself You don't need oil To open your third eye I'm quite real One love BE THE LIGHT
I meant to watch this as I brushed my teeth and got ready for bed, then finish what I didn't catch in the morning; that was silly, of course I watched all of it. Covering my favorite Soundgarden song and feeling like Cornell's voice and lyrics were haunting? I just can't. I was already entranced before, but my god, I need Little Oblivions in my life.
I have this on as background noise while doing some training for my job as a non traditional adult/youth educator for a non profit 😆 Julien would be perfect for a job like this. What a lovely interview/performance.
The fell on black days cover is so good! Its not just such a beautiful homage to Chris but also a masterful interpretation of Kim Thayil's guitar playing and the harmonisation with the voice melodies and bass lines. Also the overthinking of dogs is pretty spot on imo.
Except neither, both because a) logistically they wouldn't go to a UK wizard school and b) fuck it, let's come up with a different sorting system that doesn't acknowledge a huge TERF
I didn't expect to like listening to Julien's interviews as much as I do. She should start a podcast, very good talker.
she really has a nice "podcast" voice
Sometimes I just skip the songs to get to the parts where she teaches philosophy during interviews
I agree. Usually, if I'm listening to a podcast and there is music, I skip the music. I didn't skip anything with this. Everything was enjoyable.
Whatever she wants
phoebe was so right for that

Julien is such a gem. Jesus, what a world we would live in if more people in power had her heart.

Fuck, her take on good and bad brought me to tears, this girl always gets me so emotional.
Truly every time I hear her speak it’s as if my heart stops beating so I can listen closer
JB, "I should have gone to law school to make a difference"
Meanwhile me, a lawyer, "I should have become a musician to make a difference"
Hahaha I love seeing different perspectives like this
Every time I get some stupid pleading or email from opposing counsel, I think about just quitting and starting a band....
This is a blessing after a difficult week. Julien Baker is an absolute gem
Julien enthusiastically nodding to Cheryl talking about her kittens is all I needed today
this whole interview and concert is so beautiful and moving; Julien has such a brilliant mind, and an eloquent way of capturing deep emotional truths, whether through songs or speech. I'm so happy to see her well and exploring new horizons after what's seemed to have been a rough couple years, but a lot of personal growth and healing 🖤 I love that for her, and I love new JB music for all of us.

Hero.
so happy "mercy" is actually going to be released in it's studio version as song in E !!!
i mightve screeched and thrown my headphones....
Julien Baker: "I don't have to intellectualize everything"
Me: OH PLEASE DO!!
WE ARE BEING FED TODAY ❤️ THANK YOU
Finally, some good fucking food!
I really appreciated your language in the interview. You have a definite ability to discuss emotion. Separately, you seem to use music to both punctuate and augment your lyrics. That’s a talent that I praise and regard highly. Thank you.
She's so real. So SO real, that my MTV-oriented mind has troubles to totaly grasp it sometimes.
I'm learning a lot with Baker. In my 40s.
So so so so excited that Mercy is on the record even if under a new name
this was the first time I heard song in E in its entirety and wow, just wow, I actually fell completely silent and started sobbing, who allowed such a masterpiece to be created.
The fell on black days cover was simply perfect omfg her voice and soul so good
I thought I loved Hardline, but her cover of Fell on Black Days truly blew me away.
couldnt agree more. i’m blown away
THIS!

Scott who is that?
@@ghost__chips Scott Hutchison, vocalist of Frightened Rabbit. Julien covered their song "The Modern Leper".
@@TheWolfblade87 she's covered at least 6 of their songs. One of her favourites to perform is Nitrous Gas
@@TheWolfblade87 "How It Gets In" is an absolutely beautiful song featuring both of them as well.
hardline is very f.r
24:05 she turned on the light
this was everything we all needed today, KEXP. thank you.

protect these two at all costs
I really didn't expect Faith Healer to come right after she spoke of "mourning that mythos"
Nothing has hit me that hard in months
Such a beautiful soul, and such beautiful music...
3 years later and i’m still sobbing at this
Phoebe and Julien racing to have to most appearances
Social engineering bro. Get unplugged.
@@TheAgentAssassin wtf u on about mate
I hope songs like something and everybody does get remade for her live show with full arrangements that will he amazing
God I love Cheryl and Julien so much 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭
I don't really care what course Julien Baker will teach, I'm taking it.

edit: The Star Killers!! if you haven't heard them and you like jb, please listen to their album on bandcamp. you won't be disappointed
Excellent. Love the Hanif Abdurraqib shout out!
julien please be the guardian of my life form
Julien's spontaneous eloquence floors me every time
this is not the content I want it's the content I need
holy shit song in e sounds incredible

Cheryl Waters, hope you have an amazing day!!
same same same!
I'm happy Julien is alive and making music and thinks deeply about healing and about what's going on in the world.
HOLY SHIT JULIEN COVERING MY FAV SONG EVER¿¿¿¿¿¿ how did we get so lucky with her ughhh im in love
I have immense respect and admiration for Julien Baker as a human being and musician and I just want to mention that she is an incredibly tiny human being
Hello Cheryl! I'm from Portugal and I love you and KEXP so much! Hello Julien! I love your work so much too. Keep rocking!
I *also* used to think Brandi Carlisle's Black Hole Sun was the best Soundgarden cover out there. Thank you Julien for proving me wrong.
What's nice about Julien is that she is dead honest! Much success Julien & you sure are making up for a lack of touring.. Take it easy & have fun!
What a brilliant woman...
I found this very calming today
Like talking with myself
You don't need oil
To open your third eye
I'm quite real
One love
BE THE LIGHT
Big chills from "Fell On Black Days"!!!
Telecaster Queen
Thank you for brightening up my day.
Kexp and Julien Baker. Doesn't get any better.
CHERYL WATERS SUPREMACY
I love her so bad😭😭😭
Just seen this. I couldn't love Julien more right now... How inspiring is she?!!!
I´m hopelessly in love with Julien
Drum sounds are superb.
These drum sounds are amazing!
That was so pleasant. You're both such kind hearted and sweet people❤️ Very soothing morning show☺️
I meant to watch this as I brushed my teeth and got ready for bed, then finish what I didn't catch in the morning; that was silly, of course I watched all of it. Covering my favorite Soundgarden song and feeling like Cornell's voice and lyrics were haunting? I just can't. I was already entranced before, but my god, I need Little Oblivions in my life.
Julien no this is more than I could take in a day! but thank you
TWO ANGELS OMG
Fabulous conversation - fabulous artist. Thank you KEXP
Never heard of Julien Baker before tonight. She's terrific. I can't believe she's on her fourth album already. No, I don't live in a cave.
All the songs are great in their own way but the fell on black days cover is incredible
oh my, yes please and thank you.
Yes, this is what I needed... Thank you. A truly wonderful person, would listen to her for hours.
Julien Baker just never misses!
I've never connected to a musician's lyrical work more.
Love this! Thanks KEXP!
ugh so true queen
the fact that she's got Scott Hutchison poster in her room, and how much Frightened Rabbit inspiration can be felt on "Hardline"
That Soundgarden cover though 🙏🙏🙏
Such great music, and a great attitude.
I'm thankful for you Julien, and Cheryl you're always such a pleasure, thanks KEXP 🖤
Dude she's really rocking it on this album and i love it
I have this on as background noise while doing some training for my job as a non traditional adult/youth educator for a non profit 😆 Julien would be perfect for a job like this. What a lovely interview/performance.
Two of the heroes of our time!
Cheryyylll!! Glad to see her again, oh and also Julien
Great session, I love the Fell on black Days cover, awesone
something random but at 41:07 you can just hear Beans and their collar. And i find that endearing for some reason.
This is such a heartening thing to watch at a moment like this one
so stoked with the new record
The fell on black days cover is so good! Its not just such a beautiful homage to Chris but also a masterful interpretation of Kim Thayil's guitar playing and the harmonisation with the voice melodies and bass lines.
Also the overthinking of dogs is pretty spot on imo.
Chris Cornell would love this version. What an outstanding emotional version. still powerful.
Love Scott in the background. Julien is a treasure.
so much musical talent. it's rare to see someone who makes it look so easy
Great interview and performance Julien!
So good. All album tracks are amazing
Live shows need to come back. Hopefully this spring. KEXP rules!!!!
The new album couldn't come soon enough.
Julien Baker: A Ravenclaw
Phoebe Bridgers: Clearly a Slytherin
Lucy hufflepuff
Except neither, both because a) logistically they wouldn't go to a UK wizard school and b) fuck it, let's come up with a different sorting system that doesn't acknowledge a huge TERF
Julien Baker: Simply talks
Me: cries uncontrollably
So in love... this is real music!!
i could listen to her talk for hours
Im so grateful for this!!
