Also the recent paramore album seems like the perfect segway into more rock for the channel. Julien even covered one of the songs for the remix version of the record.
Check you Souvenir and Stay Down from their EP for some more Julien brilliance. She also sings the belts out some of the best lyrics ever written on Salt in the Wound.
I would highly recommend listening to Night Shift by Lucy dacus, trust me it will change your opinion on her. I wasn’t a huge fan of hers until I heard Night Shift literally the greatest song ever made.
Revolution 0 is about Phoebe’s ex Paul Mescal. They met on the Internet and he previously loved her music. The “broke your nose” line is about wanting to confront whoever hurt Paul.
the lucy slander here 😭😭 u should def listen to her solo music tho, along with phoebes and juliens. I think if you listen to good news it would destroy u! (that song left marks istg)
Glad you overcame some of the Lucy slander on We're In Love, her voice is so beautiful and works so well for the storytelling style of lyricism she does in her songs. The Julien love??? She is my star, I adore her, so glad you recognize how amazing her voice is. You gotta check out the boygenius EP that they did back in 2018, you will lose your mind at Salt in the Wound, I'm telling you, Julien at her finest on that little EP.
As someone who moved to Chicago (feel seen by True Blue, ngl) it's not even just crying, if it's cold enough the actual like -- mucus membrane freezes. You can bundle up everything but your eyes but man. Waiting on a train station and your eyes just are DRY AND COLD. It is amazing to watch you turn into a Julien diehard here. which is what happened to me. LISTEN TO MORE JULIEN BAKER. (Lucy will grow on you. Listen to Timefighter.)
as a side note every single time someone does a review of this album i remember how much letter to an old poet is great (it's also a good call back to the earlier album's song me and my dog).
i don’t wanna dig through comments lmao so i don’t know if anyone else mentioned that they have another song called me & my dog that is connected to letter to an old poet ! like the lyric parallels are so good
Hey Jason 👋👋👋👋 you are not probably not seeing this 😢😢 but Conan gray new album "Found Heaven" is coming in April 5 . Since you have done listening Conan gray sophomore album " "Superache" you should do the dabut one "kid krow" please 🙏🙏🙏🙏.
my favorite albumm omggg!!! (hoping to see a reaction to florence and the machine in the future) just some facts about some songs: -true blue, leoanrd cohen and we're in love are love letters to themselfs and their friendship - anti-curse is about julien near-drown experience and how she sees this experience as a blessing or take the positive out of it anyway, you are incredible, thank u!!!
Personally, I prefer boygenius' EP, I can't recommend it enough. I think it's my favorite EP or album. Every song is 10/10, which I didn't feel about The Record. But then I generally prefer their more folk-sounding songs where their harmonies stand out (like Cool About It and Emily I'm Sorry) over their more rock-sounding songs, which have melodies that just don't usually scratch that itch for me (but the lyrics are always so clever)....though I love $20.
