This is why love is a commitment, it is something that takes constant work. People that only stay for the fire of loves beginnings will never know deep love as it becomes red hot embers.
That is commonly believed both by codependent silly noncommital romantic movie lovers and conservative religious people focused on duty regardless of happiness (also often codependent) Both are wrong. It is NOT loving,not kind,not respectful to stay with someone if you do not love them the way they want and need to be loved. You can keep the other person from having that love by pretending out of duty. If you truly love someone,you will not require a selfish oath to stay w you until death. That is possession. If you have real love for someone, you would want the person to be truly happy, to be their true selves, to follow their dreams and be loved by someone who offers more than codependence, obligation or duty. Even if it is not with you. That is love.
I've listened and loved this version of this song so many times, but tonight I feel the urge to point out that however beautiful and poignant that snare is, the bass guitar is keeping everything together in the most glorious way. Everything is held together in those deep tones, supporting and undergirding the whole. In a song that is about uncertainty, that bass is giving us all something to hold onto. Precise, resonant, supporting without obscuring. Gorgeous.
I listened to this song a LOT in the last year of my dying long term relationship. The end was inevitable and I felt powerless to stop it. This was a great comfort to me during that time, and now that she's gone.
how did you find comfort in it? I find this harrowing and ripping my heart to shreds tetering on a panic attack. Im in limbo with my 4 1/2 yr relationship and im not sure i can walk away or if i can even stay. Im drowning in my own confusion and indecisiveness. Were you able to move on? Im so affraid.
I’m super high right now. I feel like I’m IN the song and I’m rolling around in a beautiful garden on a sunny day but I can see dark clouds on the horizon. The disappointment of love. Damn.
The superficial always steal the limelight. But the world is becoming increasingly more attuned to depth and less interested in shallow materialistic crap, so I think it's the right time for an artist like Julia.
I wanna watch you I wanna stay like this I wanna feel it all Every time that we kiss I want your mother To stay friends with mine I want this feeling To pass in time But you know my body now And I know yours We put so many things Between these walls And every gift you buy me I know what's inside What do I do now? There’s nothing left to find [Chorus] Don't know how to keep loving you Now that I know you so well Don't know how to keep loving you Now that I know you so well Don’t know how to keep loving you Now that I know you so well Don't know how to keep loving you [Verse 2] What if I cleaned up? What if I worked on my skin? I could scrub until I am red, hot, weak and thin Too tired to run away What do I do now? There's nothing left to say [Chorus] Don't know how to keep loving you Now that I know you so well Don't know how to keep loving you Now that I know you so well Don't know how to keep loving you Now that I know you so well Don't know how to keep loving you [Verse 3] Into the darkness Or is it the light? Should I be waking up Or finding a place to sleep tonight? Who will I be Now that you're no longer next to me?
Just heard this song for the first time and I usually don’t say this after only hearing a song once but that was a 10/10 and the best song I’ve heard in awhile.
Yahtzee! Right? As impressive as everything else, he vocal / mic control is off the charts! To get that sound with a dynamic mic in that setting... it is almost unbelievable.
@@justpettet3506 fuck you. he is not responsible for her mental issues. she needs to want to help herself. in no way is anybody required to stay with a partner like that. i am sure he went through a lot of shit and deserves to be free of this, so fuck you again for saying shit like that to him
It's weird how I first heard this song in 2019 going through one of my most toxic relationships, and the tone and lyrics matched how I felt to a tee. Two years later in a healthy year long relationship where I've been the happiest I've been, this song pops up. Kinda a reminder how far ive come
[Verse 1] I wanna want you, I wanna stay here like this I wanna feel it all every time that we kiss I want your mother to stay friends with mine I want this feeling to pass in time But you know my body now and I know yours We put so many things between these walls And every gift you buy me, I know what's inside What do I do now? There’s nothing left to find [Chorus] Don't know how to keep loving you Now that I know you so well Don't know how to keep loving you Now that I know you so well Don’t know how to keep loving you Now that I know you so well Don't know how to keep loving you [Verse 2] What if I cleaned up?

I have so much to say! 1) I love the simplicity of her style 2) I LOVE this Joni Mitchell vibe thing 3) these lyrics are hitting my soul so hard after 10 years of marriage finding out I built a life with a stranger
I haven’t heard this song in 4 / 5 years and this is the first time I’m hearing it since and it’s still mind blowing like the first time I heard it. And that is what timeless songs do. They make an impact that lasts.
Saw her at Brooklyn Steel last year open up for First Aid Kit and couldn't believe just how as an opener she just owned the crowd. Going again later this month. She's really to be seen to be believed. And that drummer, not only is he disciplined but you won't be able to take your eyes off of him either. She's going to be good for a long time.
Her voice evoques every raw feeling lingering for years in the darkest corners of the soul ✨️.. only to be exorcized by the mind-blowing guitar riffs!❤
Every time I listen to this beautiful heartbreak of a song, it reminds me of The Black Keys’ Things Ain’t Like They Used to Be. They pair well together.
this song is how everyone feels when you've experienced relationships that have hit heartache moments. this song hits me in the feels everytime i hear it. but also reminds me to keep moving forward and not to expend energy of saddness and failed expectations. im happy to admit im more reserved and less expectant of things now ive got older. hindsight is a blessing but no regrets having to experience heartbreak in many forms. big love and well wishes to everyone! remember pain and saddness is temporary. your the master of your self awareness how ever hard things get.
You hear commercial music on the radio, on repeat, and NONE of it gets through to you for whatever reason: too shallow, too superficial. All about materialism. Then you hear this Obscure, gorgeous, ethereal Australian artist by the name of Julia Jacklin and you never look back. Beautiful.
This song makes me feel like I’ve fallen out of love and I don’t know how to move on without hurting the other person. It’s like the feeling of falling out of love and thinking about what was
I’ve send this song to someone that I felt in love with 3 years ago. We stopped talking in December 20. Now I look through the comments hoping to find a message saying that he misses me as much as I miss him. There wasn’t any... How to keep loving you? When nothing inspiring comes from you...
Jesus. When this song hits it hits. It's different being the person that one would be singing this about, and being able to see so clearly how that person feels
from the first drum beat to the final guitar chord this is perfection. As I wiped away the tear falling from my cheek that solo allowed me to breathe again. Julia Jacklin - you have a new fan!
“Don’t know how to keep loving you now that I know you so well” made me think of how can I love myself when I know took much about me to do that... like shit
Sometimes I think to myself e that there must be so much beatiful songs around there that I don’t know and I hope in course of my life I will found a lot of them and today I found.. one of them
I keep coming back to this live performance, so raw and real, as humans, we tend to lie to ourselves so well that becomes easier to lie to others and idealize our partners and relationships. This song describes it marvellously.
Around the time youtube algorithmed this to me after somehow reading my wife's handwritten note on the computer desk, I wrote this poem about the most extreme pain I've ever felt. *Bottle Caps and White Walls* The door is open and it's getting colder The warmth of this home bleeds from the bedroom The curtains are drawn while the ghosts grow older It all happened here in this bed, now a tomb That cat we raised after wedding was mean It bit us hard and never would sit in our laps But we loved him anyway and we'd buy him things Though, he was strange and only ever wanted his bottle caps He'd bat them around for hours in the night Lose some here and hide some there He loved only his caps and us he'd bite Sometimes, when crying one would try to hold him, but even then he didn't care One day, too early, he became sick and passed Thought he was just sleeping but luck like that never came around here There was a stake between us that was growing fast And the sickness in our bones was wetter than any tear Some months passed and the driest July came Believe me when I say, an empty room wouldn't look so big if you had an empty heart The fear and chills arrived right on time But seeing those walls so desolate, you soon realize wasn't the start Falling down and driving fast, control is lost on time that's passed Money's spent on drunken logic, a spine is bent on sunken magic When she eventually returned for a formal goodbye Words could barely be spoken past a tight throat without choking Though it was a lie, you'd say you agreed it was right And let rest the end of those years, without letting too many weak lies be spoken She cried and you cried, but without hate it hurt more But then from no where, you remember the night before she had come In search of clues, you pulled the washer from its corner Behind it, beneath papers, laid a mass of bottle caps, so many more than just the some Before she walks out, you let it burst from your heart She hesitates, then squeals into tears, and you wonder why you had to say it To hear her pain relived rips your core apart You apologize and agonize and regret that it was spit But she stops, looks up and says no it's okay Says she would have cried no matter what you would've said You stare back now, not knowing what the hell to say She says you could have said the walls are white and her heart still would have bled She leaves and the door is closed, and for a second you swear you can hear her stop to turn around But that is only a thing that happens in the movies Your heartbeat is loud and there's no other sound And you look at the spot on the floor where he wasn't just sleeping And you feel that dead spot in your stomach start creeping Til you drop and you're weeping And the bottle caps start speaking And the walls, they are white They are white They are white
That is poetry. I love how the hidden bottle caps came to have meaning at the end. encompasses the pain that heartache creates after feeling such an intense love for another person. Was it all worth it all worth it in the end if it resulted in pain? I tell myself that it is better that I have never known that kind of connection to a woman when it could easily all end in the most hurt I can ever feel. Your poem refelcts on that.
This is probably my most viewed video on RUclips. I literally can not stop playing it. It’s better then the version on the record in my opinion but regardless her whole album is incredible
i heard this for the very first time in the car with my mom when i was 13 and it changed me so deeply, thank you julia for writing it and playing it so beautifully
i listen to this at least once a day. just noticed how she turns her head in between lines to take a breath. this is what happens when you've watched the video thousands of times!
Especially in this song... Her voice f#ckin melts me! 🤷♂️ Absolutely beautiful! I've heard some beautiful female singers live, but I'd love to hear her voice live ASAP! 😭
I've been into her from the first time I heard this song. I had no idea that every word was to be my fate as I sit here now. I listened to it as a happy engaged person now it's my reality and I'm not complaining. When a song says what I want to - it's a connection that never breaks with me. I shall recall it as a naive fiancee and as a strong woman who said you have to go and yes I used Julia's words from "Body". I'm not a good women when I'm with you...as a poet songwriter I seek out this ,this reality in deep simplistic melodic hurtful life lessons.
I remember last year before this record came out I came to see her and Paul Dempsey talking about song writing at the Melbourne Writer's Festival. They played a few songs and I think she even played this one by herself, this was a long while before the record came out so my memory is a bit foggy. I sat right in front of them, about a meter away, and it was the best 20 dollar ticket I could imagine.
Very raw and very real. Weird how songs can find you once you’re ready to feel them
MrThatoneplatypus I say this all the time
TRU
damn thats poetic
Spoken like a true PR Flack.
so fucking true
That snare is deeper than a wound from unrequited love.
oof
👏😢
Deeper than the Mariana Trench.
sounds great
snare lower than a club owner
This song lasts for exactly as long as it takes me to calmly and dutifully smoke a cigarette and reflect on love's disappointments.
this is definitely my cigarette smoking song
Yep. 100% true
I love you
I havent smoked a cig in two years and I want one just by listening to this lmao
I recommend smoking an herb instead
Jesus, this is better than the studio version
I think it's miles better!
Saw her live a few weeks ago, I had chills down my spine.
Right?!!
Yes, shes great on record, transcendent live
This is the definitive version!
I can't stop listening to this song - specifically this performance - it's perfect.
Welcome to the Cult. This is how we dress: i.pinimg.com/originals/b2/b8/c8/b2b8c8e4881560f69bf91af2d4d50ef7.jpg
I’m pretty sure she’s a siren. Her voice is so haunting... I’m positive it’s drawn lovesick sailors to the depths of the sea.
She is a Siren from the depths of the Earth's soul.
i guess love songs are sirens in themselves
Thats not very nice!
sirens drew sailors to the shore, away from the sea
No she is not, you can clearly see she is a human being, please look for therapy
It is tradition to revisit this performance every few months.
CERTIFIED HOOD CLASSIC!
Yes!!
Yes !!@@Unbronzed_Aussie_Laura
This is why love is a commitment, it is something that takes constant work. People that only stay for the fire of loves beginnings will never know deep love as it becomes red hot embers.

@@kr4382 agree with my whole heart !
Wow, now I love you!
Beautifully said
Falling out of love with someone is just as real as falling in love....
Beth Errington because Love itself is so real. So real
Beth Errington that is beautiful
Do you know the song Let it Did by Feist? Your sentiment reminds me of it
wtf does this even mean
John Pineapple hopefully you never have to find out.

How can a song perfectly describe a love that's not meant to be
I listened to this song a LOT in the last year of my dying long term relationship. The end was inevitable and I felt powerless to stop it. This was a great comfort to me during that time, and now that she's gone.
I'm so sorry for your loss ❤️
same here :( hope you're doing better now
how did you find comfort in it? I find this harrowing and ripping my heart to shreds tetering on a panic attack.

@@farmermike9262what happened in the end Mike? I hope you’re well x
I’m super high right now. I feel like I’m IN the song and I’m rolling around in a beautiful garden on a sunny day but I can see dark clouds on the horizon. The disappointment of love. Damn.
Awww man I miss getting high.lol
lovely
Sounds beautiful
Holy crap that was AMAZING. She has this voice that just....pulls you in and doesn't let go. I'm floored
Underrated is such an over used term but I genuinely believe Julia is one of the most underrated musicians around today.
I have to agree. Her voice makes me melt every single time. Cant wait to see her live again now.
The superficial always steal the limelight. But the world is becoming increasingly more attuned to depth and less interested in shallow materialistic crap, so I think it's the right time for an artist like Julia.
bigtux11 thanks for the hopeful comment. It's refreshing.
Dude her voice is so consistent. Go to any live performance by her and you'll see that there is little to no variation in her performances!
Hopefully this kind of music become popular again soon. If it was the 60s-90s I bet she would be way more famous
Legitimately an all timer performance.
I wanna watch you
I wanna stay like this
I wanna feel it all
Every time that we kiss
I want your mother
To stay friends with mine
I want this feeling
To pass in time
But you know my body now
And I know yours
We put so many things
Between these walls
And every gift you buy me
I know what's inside
What do I do now?
There’s nothing left to find
[Chorus]
Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don’t know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don't know how to keep loving you
[Verse 2]
What if I cleaned up?
What if I worked on my skin?
I could scrub until
I am red, hot, weak and thin
Too tired to run away
What do I do now?
There's nothing left to say
[Chorus]
Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don't know how to keep loving you
[Verse 3]
Into the darkness
Or is it the light?
Should I be waking up
Or finding a place to sleep tonight?
Who will I be
Now that you're no longer next to me?
Til I'm red, hot, weak and thin*
I wanna feel it all
every time that we kiss*
Holland thank you!!!
Forgot final chorus, where she adds "I wanna keep loving you"
Reading the lyrics while listening to the song make it so much better ❤
I totally understand why this version has more views than the official video.
Just heard this song for the first time and I usually don’t say this after only hearing a song once but that was a 10/10 and the best song I’ve heard in awhile.
How does she make it through this song without crying?
she rocks it cold hearted
"Sometimes pain runs out of tears" to quote my self lol
She does it for us
You have to wonder...
Because she's making a performance you f****** retard it's a beautiful song of course but one that she has performed many times
Her mic control is phenomenal!
Yahtzee! Right? As impressive as everything else, he vocal / mic control is off the charts! To get that sound with a dynamic mic in that setting... it is almost unbelievable.
Damn that must be the most disciplined drummer in the history of pop music ;)
but... this isnt pop
@@mmogg4045 it doesn't matter
He would impress even Terence Fletcher.
Yeah man, he played with Andy Shauf years ago. For sure worth checking out. Restraint in a drummer is always fun to watch. Just so freaking tasteful.
Drummer Ian Kehoe! So good, delicate and rapt in attention
She doesn't just sing this song, she means it. It's as real as it can get. Beautiful!
There should be a love button.
Its called a clitoris.
@@andreapapapostolou1029 Haha, I'm not sure Julia would appreciate it so well if I went pushing HER love button to show appreciation, though.
Poignant, troubled, restrained. There's so much to feel here.
Her voice is perfection💫
Any bumps for the sound guy? (super crisp)
oh hell yes!
yes, the sound is audio-phile.
Terrible distortion on almost everything, the vocal is incredible though
@@stuarticusrobinson9319 the sound guy most likely didn't choose the guitar tones...
@@KaninTuzi I play guitar myself, that's not what I'm referring to. You can hear it or you can't I guess.
My heart's just been pureed in a blender and now I'm utterly speechless.
Just broke up with my girlfriend massive alcoholic this song hit me hard I can't stop crying.
yye rough, r you the alco or them?
asshole. you should have tried to help instead of hurting them more.
@@justpettet3506 fuck you. he is not responsible for her mental issues. she needs to want to help herself. in no way is anybody required to stay with a partner like that. i am sure he went through a lot of shit and deserves to be free of this, so fuck you again for saying shit like that to him
STFU support is okay..
Dating someone with an addiction is incredibly difficult; I’ve been there. You’re not a bad person for walking away. Your wellness matters too.
I've seen this so many times now and please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks she looks like Paris from Gilmore Girls??!!
I honestly thought it was her
Omg wow she does
I see it!
Oh shit, now I can't unsee this...
Well, I'm just happy Paris kinda redeemed herself at the end of it all.

Can’t count how many times I keep coming back too listen to this unreal performance!! Brings me to tears every time!!
This one hurts so much. I know the feeling exactly.
I don't know how to describe how I feel about Julia's voice. No words are good enough.
How did she get that sound from a dynamic mic in that setting... WOW... super impressive. Amazing vocal control!
RUclips has been recommending this video to me for years and I'm so glad I finally clicked on it. This is a masterpiece
What a beautiful silky flawless voice. Love it...
Strange how my eyes start watering when she sings
I keep coming back to this song. Extremely powerful. Thank you Julia Jacklin.
I have so much to say!
1) I love the simplicity of her style
2) I LOVE this Joni Mitchell vibe thing
3) these lyrics are hitting my soul so hard after 10 years of marriage finding out I built a life with a stranger
try 40
The lyrics and delivery of the chorus are so powerful that it doesn’t matter how many times she repeats it, it still has the same punch.
Jesus, this is absolutely haunting in the best possible way.
I haven’t heard this song in 4 / 5 years and this is the first time I’m hearing it since and it’s still mind blowing like the first time I heard it.

Came back🤍
Don't know how to stop listening to this.
When words & sounds describe the most deepest & painful feelings you’ve ever felt…
Damn that guitarist got some sweet moves
What moves?
this song is how everyone feels when you've experienced relationships that have hit heartache moments. this song hits me in the feels everytime i hear it. but also reminds me to keep moving forward and not to expend energy of saddness and failed expectations. im happy to admit im more reserved and less expectant of things now ive got older. hindsight is a blessing but no regrets having to experience heartbreak in many forms. big love and well wishes to everyone! remember pain and saddness is temporary. your the master of your self awareness how ever hard things get.
cheers for sharing. going through ione of those heartache moments now, but i feel known, comforted, and hopeful reading your comment.
I’ll always love this song
She sings so effortlessly. What a talent. This song is breaking me into pieces and then putting be back together.
So glad I stumbled upon this gem.
You hear commercial music on the radio, on repeat, and NONE of it gets through to you for whatever reason: too shallow, too superficial. All about materialism. Then you hear this Obscure, gorgeous, ethereal Australian artist by the name of Julia Jacklin and you never look back. Beautiful.
Great point bigtux11
Depends on the station of course, but I have heard her on the radio, on different stations
@@RayasNegroOvejas Don't know about overseas, but triple j in Australia plays her

Perfect.
I’ve send this song to someone that I felt in love with 3 years ago.
We stopped talking in December 20.
Now I look through the comments hoping to find a message saying that he misses me as much as I miss him.
There wasn’t any... How to keep loving you? When nothing inspiring comes from you...
That’s sad.
I hope you’re alright.
It's just shocking sometimes...when things aren't what you thought they were.
Dejah Thoris yeah for sure
its hurtful
do you mean the song or the lyrics...i didnt expect both
Yeah it fucking is :/ hh.
So true 😔
A flick of my thumb, a rabbit hole I stumbled down, or, maybe fate led me to this song. It is a beautiful depiction ❤. Thank you
when she sings the first line wow goosebumps 😢
Jesus. When this song hits it hits. It's different being the person that one would be singing this about, and being able to see so clearly how that person feels
Solo guitar tone was EPIC
Serious question: Is this the best live performance ever?
I’m thinking yes
Maybe best live performance of this song
YES
No
If it isn't, it's certainly up there. Those vocals are damned perfect
This is why I love music.
from the first drum beat to the final guitar chord this is perfection. As I wiped away the tear falling from my cheek that solo allowed me to breathe again.
Julia Jacklin - you have a new fan!
“Don’t know how to keep loving you now that I know you so well” made me think of how can I love myself when I know took much about me to do that... like shit
This has become one of my all time fav songs :) The sound in this one is superb, great job everyone
I had this on repeat for three/four times in a row last night. Ethereal
Sometimes I think to myself e that there must be so much beatiful songs around there that I don’t know and I hope in course of my life I will found a lot of them and today I found.. one of them
"Going Into the darkness or the light" hits deep for me. How to know how life is going to be like after everything.
Sometimes RUclips's recommendations are amazing. Just clicked on it and my store plays this all the time, but I never knew what it was.
Amazing song. She completely unleashed something toward the end. So emotional, holy cow. I think the lead guitar has been listening to Built to Spill.
Larry Chüper I actually thought the same thing the first time I heard the song.
I keep coming back to this live performance, so raw and real, as humans, we tend to lie to ourselves so well that becomes easier to lie to others and idealize our partners and relationships. This song describes it marvellously.
Around the time youtube algorithmed this to me after somehow reading my wife's handwritten note on the computer desk, I wrote this poem about the most extreme pain I've ever felt.
*Bottle Caps and White Walls*
The door is open and it's getting colder
The warmth of this home bleeds from the bedroom
The curtains are drawn while the ghosts grow older
It all happened here in this bed, now a tomb
That cat we raised after wedding was mean
It bit us hard and never would sit in our laps
But we loved him anyway and we'd buy him things
Though, he was strange and only ever wanted his bottle caps
He'd bat them around for hours in the night
Lose some here and hide some there
He loved only his caps and us he'd bite
Sometimes, when crying one would try to hold him, but even then he didn't care
One day, too early, he became sick and passed
Thought he was just sleeping but luck like that never came around here
There was a stake between us that was growing fast
And the sickness in our bones was wetter than any tear
Some months passed and the driest July came
Believe me when I say, an empty room wouldn't look so big if you had an empty heart
The fear and chills arrived right on time
But seeing those walls so desolate, you soon realize wasn't the start
Falling down and driving fast, control is lost on time that's passed
Money's spent on drunken logic, a spine is bent on sunken magic
When she eventually returned for a formal goodbye
Words could barely be spoken past a tight throat without choking
Though it was a lie, you'd say you agreed it was right
And let rest the end of those years, without letting too many weak lies be spoken
She cried and you cried, but without hate it hurt more
But then from no where, you remember the night before she had come
In search of clues, you pulled the washer from its corner
Behind it, beneath papers, laid a mass of bottle caps, so many more than just the some
Before she walks out, you let it burst from your heart
She hesitates, then squeals into tears, and you wonder why you had to say it
To hear her pain relived rips your core apart
You apologize and agonize and regret that it was spit
But she stops, looks up and says no it's okay
Says she would have cried no matter what you would've said
You stare back now, not knowing what the hell to say
She says you could have said the walls are white and her heart still would have bled
She leaves and the door is closed, and for a second you swear you can hear her stop to turn around
But that is only a thing that happens in the movies
Your heartbeat is loud and there's no other sound
And you look at the spot on the floor where he wasn't just sleeping
And you feel that dead spot in your stomach start creeping
Til you drop and you're weeping
And the bottle caps start speaking
And the walls, they are white
They are white
They are white
Detourist 💔
💔 I hope your in a better place now.
This brought me back to an old relationship that ended and it absolutely broke me. The most beautiful thing I’ve ever read, thank you
That is poetry. I love how the hidden bottle caps came to have meaning at the end. encompasses the pain that heartache creates after feeling such an intense love for another person. Was it all worth it all worth it in the end if it resulted in pain? I tell myself that it is better that I have never known that kind of connection to a woman when it could easily all end in the most hurt I can ever feel. Your poem refelcts on that.
Wow, that was really good dude. Reminds me of La Dispute lyrics, look them up, maybe you’d be into them
I’ve had this song on repeat for the past 4 hours
I have returned... time to listen to this for 6 hours
Magnificent best advert for Telecaster
Yes. & whatever fuzz he's running.
@@danielsmith2776 any ideas on the pedal?
@@lukemccann099 I want to know this too
The paradox of love is that the longer you stay in it the harder it is to do.
This is probably my most viewed video on RUclips. I literally can not stop playing it. It’s better then the version on the record in my opinion but regardless her whole album is incredible
The pain in her voice at 4:11 is penetrating: so beautiful and sad at once.
i heard this for the very first time in the car with my mom when i was 13 and it changed me so deeply, thank you julia for writing it and playing it so beautifully
I was saying this reminds me of the same thing as it doesn't Remind Me of anything and that's why I like it
My great taste in music brought me here
This gotta be the finest live version of any song I’ve ever heard. Incredible!
i come back to this everyday
this sounds *way* better than the studio version
( tears are rolling down my face ) My heart radiants every ache of her words and quiver of her lips and guitar crying.
Best sound I have ever heard in a RUclips video hands down...excellent job by the sound engineer (Bob Mallory, thanks description!), like holy fudge
Try the kexp set....
Also try NPR tiny desk series
This has been and always will be my favourite song.
i listen to this at least once a day. just noticed how she turns her head in between lines to take a breath. this is what happens when you've watched the video thousands of times!
Especially in this song... Her voice f#ckin melts me! 🤷♂️ Absolutely beautiful! I've heard some beautiful female singers live, but I'd love to hear her voice live ASAP! 😭
She is beautiful. OH my gosh!
Her voice and vulnerability! Simply beautiful ☺️
I always have a deep and satisfying sigh at the end of this song.
I've been into her from the first time I heard this song. I had no idea that every word was to be my fate as I sit here now. I listened to it as a happy engaged person now it's my reality and I'm not complaining. When a song says what I want to - it's a connection that never breaks with me. I shall recall it as a naive fiancee and as a strong woman who said you have to go and yes I used Julia's words from "Body". I'm not a good women when I'm with you...as a poet songwriter I seek out this ,this reality in deep simplistic melodic hurtful life lessons.
She sings exactly about what i'm going through right in the very now.
Thank you Julia.
I remember last year before this record came out I came to see her and Paul Dempsey talking about song writing at the Melbourne Writer's Festival. They played a few songs and I think she even played this one by herself, this was a long while before the record came out so my memory is a bit foggy. I sat right in front of them, about a meter away, and it was the best 20 dollar ticket I could imagine.
right on
I hope she realizes that this is one of the best love performances of this format ever.
I consider this to be the greatest live performance, of any song, ever.
I heard the first lyric and literally said 'wow what a voice' so emotive and moving - sensational!
