The line about the moth and tenderness elicits one of the most visceral reactions in me that I felt the need to write it on my art and put it on my wall. There's something so simple and yet so vast about her lyricism like it sees the rawness and yet the inherent absurdity in human experiences. I could listen to only her for years on end and still find new things to say about the songs
i've been running away from all my friends who want nothing but the best for me for a while knowing i am sabotaging myself, and now i have song for it. thanks, julien.
@@georgia1986 I think...when I would run away before, it would be because I was afraid that there wasn't space for me and all my mess. I thought distance would give me that without bothering people. But what I realized was that among those who really cared about me, the space had always been there. I just couldn't see it for what it was while in the middle of it. I don't know if that's helpful, but that is the frame that helped me, at least, in starting to re-open to people I care about. It's tough & slow, but it's worth it. 🧡
i come back to this song sometimes when i need my brain picked apart- the lyrics, “i’d have missed you more than you missed me,” have always gotten me. the thought of dying and regretting it because you miss the people you loved, i don’t know. it’s that awareness that keeps me going- i just didn’t have words for it. i’ve had my fair share of near death experiences and i only ever felt fear when i thought about never seeing my loved ones again. it’s just so profoundly sad. i don’t know. i’m rambling. this is a good song. julien’s entire discography is fucking incredible and i am so glad i listened to sprained ankle when it was suggested to me all those years ago.
Every song from Little Oblivions so far makes me feel like I’m the dog in that K C Green comic, sitting within the flaming wreck of myself and thinking This is Fine (knowing it’s not really), but in a truly cathartic way that makes me feel like someone is seeing and holding me even though I’m going up in smoke, and I’m really grateful for Julien for it
we all know julien's voice is amazing but I really love how it sounds here... floaty? or glowy? bright? not sure what is the right word to use but I really enjoy
Julien, Phoebe and Lucy will be save us every year, if that's not comforting thought I don't know if there's anything comforting at all... These Girls are so beautiful 😭 That song, like wonderful gift I don't deserve ☹️ But it's allright, You all here are so nice and I love You Friends, have a good day! 🤗❤️ Thank You, Julien 🌹
I ask this question all the time, but how does Julien always create songs that resonate so hard within my mind and soul? She’s my most favorite artist. Her music pulls out what I can never articulate. I love her
is she pulling the i'm-no-killer card when the one julien was with attempted to kill an insect in "You pulled a moth out from the grill of your truck saying it's a shame / How come it's so much easier with anything less than human letting yourself be tender? / Well, you couldn't make me do it" but acknowledged that she would never be tempted to do it because she's known kindness, even if killing the bug is metaphorical? what a verse.
Dang, I though the moth was already dead and the speaker is angry at themselves for not being able to care enough about it, and just generally wanting to be caring and show love but feeling too desensetized towards everything for that to happen
So, this style is completely different from the one we're used to. And that's awesome, any changes are interesting. So keep it up, Julien Rose Baker, we will hear you either way...
LYRICS so y'all can sing along and cry :) We took the forty down to Visit the family and I Told you the only kin I knew Was who I could see from the gurney I used to think about myself Like I was a talented liar Turns out that all my friends were Trying to do me a favor I always wanna tell the truth But it never seems like the right time To be serious enough Sorry I'm making myself cry How long Do I have until I've spent up Everyone's good will? Sat on the hood, out all night Trying to scrape together change You pulled a moth out From the grill of your truck Saying it's a shame How come it's so much easier With anything less than human Letting yourself be tender? Well you couldn't make me do it Doesn't feel too bad but it Doesn't feel too good either Just like a nicotine patch It hardly works and it's over Who put me In your way to find And what right had you Not to let me die Oh but did I even know What I was asking for? If I'd had my way I'd have missed you more Than you missed me Missed me... You missed me You missed me (That's the end! Now everyone say "thank you Boygenius")
We know she writes amazing songs lyrically, musically and this is no exception. Finally with this record we get to hear the fine instrumentation, arrangements and production choices she's capable of. Sounds just right - can't wait for the rest of it. Many thanks to Ms Baker for more beautiful, moving and memorable music.
From one song writer to another you all are absolutely brilliant. Thank you for all the music that helps me get through my days, and my darkest moments.
I just want to give her a hug so bad. And Phoebe! I'm just in ahhh everytime I hear or see her. I honestly can say I have never loved two woman musicians in my life, then these two. Jenny Lewis and Zoey Deschinel used to always be my favs, until Phoebe teamed up with Conor. Now I'm just hooked. I love Lucy also. Saw her open for Conor a few years back and had no idea who she was. Wish I did! Great show!
Thanks Julien! I’m really happy that you guys worked on my lyrics. Hopefully I will be able to play a show with y’all in boy genius on July 19th, 2023 at The Pabst Theater!
I've learned of your music only recently, rabbit-trailing after hearing you with Phoebe and Lucy. I love that, but your tracks really hit home more. I only wish I'd have heard of you sooner, I would love to have heard this and so many other songs of yours live.
Great song! Heard it on my car radio here in nz and thought the lyrics were "just like a nicotine patch... Doesn't work till its over" ha obviously I'm not much good for lyrics thanks Julia!

Listening to this after "please stay" and "graceland too" is brutal
Way too real
Exactly what I am doing. You caught me.
The backing vocals from Phoebe and Lucy❤️❤️❤️
They are just magical together. The first time I heard Graceland Too I screamed.
True

I hope You feel better now 🌹Hugs and love for You, have a beautiful day 🤗🌹
did that for a few years, hope you get to turn it around. all their love is there for you, you deserve it

Wow, Julien really did us a huge favor by making this legendary album.

LYRICS so y'all can sing along and cry :)
We took the forty down to
Visit the family and I
Told you the only kin I knew
Was who I could see from the gurney
I used to think about myself
Like I was a talented liar
Turns out that all my friends were
Trying to do me a favor
I always wanna tell the truth
But it never seems like the right time
To be serious enough
Sorry I'm making myself cry
How long
Do I have until
I've spent up
Everyone's good will?
Sat on the hood, out all night
Trying to scrape together change
You pulled a moth out
From the grill of your truck
Saying it's a shame
How come it's so much easier
With anything less than human
Letting yourself be tender?
Well you couldn't make me do it
Doesn't feel too bad but it
Doesn't feel too good either
Just like a nicotine patch
It hardly works and it's over
Who put me
In your way to find
And what right had you
Not to let me die
Oh but did I even know
What I was asking for?
If I'd had my way
I'd have missed you more
Than you missed me
Missed me...
You missed me
You missed me
(That's the end! Now everyone say "thank you Boygenius")
...they're in the video
@@shineymcshine yes, but for those like me who like to read along I just took the time to put them here too :)
Thank you
thank you Boygenius :-)

Julien's voice has grown so much over the years, not that it was bad to begin with :D
how to take an anecdote about a moth n make me cry
There was a little dust in the moth, dust that entered in our eyes..
i love u julien baker
From one song writer to another you all are absolutely brilliant. Thank you for all the music that helps me get through my days, and my darkest moments.
I need this album now, can't believe I have to wait till the end of February
Crying in the back stockroom at work from this
So great. Feels like a walk back home on a rainy afternoon.
Julien saving 2021
She started the redemption arc
there’s so many lines that exactly describe my life rn ... thank you Julien for making me cry, this is amazing !
This is what perfection sounds like 😍
It's been approximately 26 years since this album was announced?? It is still weeks away???
favorite song
THE 8TH BOYGENIUS SONG ILY JULIEN
I do so enjoy sobbing to new julien baker music!! My favorite kind of crying this year certainly, possibly in general 😭😭
I just want to give her a hug so bad.
And Phoebe! I'm just in ahhh everytime I hear or see her. I honestly can say I have never loved two woman musicians in my life, then these two. Jenny Lewis and Zoey Deschinel used to always be my favs, until Phoebe teamed up with Conor. Now I'm just hooked. I love Lucy also. Saw her open for Conor a few years back and had no idea who she was. Wish I did! Great show!
The drums almost sound like something from linkin park! Love the song and super excited about the album
Thanks Julien! I’m really happy that you guys worked on my lyrics. Hopefully I will be able to play a show with y’all in boy genius on July 19th, 2023 at The Pabst Theater!
this is just great music
Live and heavy is the best way to hear this
little oblivions has changed my life
Julien is so talented 💕✨
beautiful song.
! incredible !
this is so detailed. look at 1:02 "never seems like the right time"
Beautiful lyrics and song.
Album sounding wonderful so far! Excited :D
I WASN'T READY FOR A MASTERPIECE LIKE THIS
I can't wait for this one live!
Cannot wait for the album ❤️❤️❤️
Love this song!
I love this song, my Julien

Absolute perfection yet again, truly enchanting💕
This song is so freakin good! A little Sum 41 vibe too 🔥🔥🔥😭😭😭
this will be your best album so far
So beautiful 🖤
that was beautiful.
*loudly crying*
Maybe we will never get the boygenius LP and they’ll just keep featuring as backing vocals on each others solo stuff
OMG YES WHAT A COINCIDENCE I WAS JUST ON HER RUclips LISTENING TO SOME MUSIC AND THE NOTIFICATION SHOWED UP
Great song
screaming and crying #julienbaker
gosh darn amazing. I cannot wait for this album. Will probably end up quite high in my AOTY list.
Спасибо большое за прекрасную музыку :)
your voice
julien i'm so drunk and crying
the introduction to this song reminds me of a doctor/crime drama theme song
crying
not the moth :(
Less than one month to go. I’m not ready to cry
LOVE U THANK U
Thank you
this song really hits hard when you have bpd haha
❤️
I needed this. I'm having such a bad day.
Hope that tomorrow is better for you:)

Gentee vocês querem o vídeo legendado dessa musica? ???? Vou postar em breve
Em meus amigos??
heheh aww phoebe and lucy in the back
2:37 You can feel the spirit of Anthony Green in the way she sings "like a nicotine patch"
Big Death Cab vibes
Okay. I really need a boygenius followup
Breakbeat drums? In MY Julien Baker music? It’s more likely than you think!
