Julien Baker – “Decorated Lawns”

This article has been imported from chorus.fm for discussion. All of the forum rules still apply.

Julien Baker has debuted the new song, “Decorated Lawns,” over at 36 Vultures. It’s quite good.

“Decorated Lawns” recalls Julien moving back in with her parents, falling in love, and driving around with the one she loved around the Holidays. The song builds into this wonderful rally of “I loved you/I loved you/More than I hate me” that give you both butterflies and hit you in the base of your spine at once.

Ouch, right in the feels.

So good.

 

Yeah that ending fucking hurts. She's so good

 

I love this.

 

This song/whole album was released last week.

 

I've tried but can't get into her at all.

 

I'm overwhelmed by several and conflicting emotions, God this track is beautiful.

 

nice

 

it you

 

LOL! I don't know man! For whatever reason it just doesn't hit me like it hits other people! and I love me some sad songs!

 

looks like the baker pain train's passing your stop

 

This is excellent.

 

Good.

 

This song is beautiful. It might replace 'Listening To Otis Redding At Home During Christmas’ in my rotation this time of year.

 

I'M not crying, YOU'RE crying!!

 

Fuck this is incredible, so excited for her new album next year!

Also this comes from a Christmas compilation that also features a stunning version of What Child Is This by TWIABP

 

This is really good.

 

She's too good

 

So great to hear this in studio version. I've listened to this live version a ton.

 

This is one of my favorite responses I've ever seen on this site.

 

bandcamp says it's a preorder available Jan 1

 

don't enjoy this as much as Sprained Ankle but partly because her work always needs to grow on me. would love a whole, melancholy but wistfully hopeful julien baker christmas album

 

Why on earth would you release a Christmas record after Christmas!?!
