Julien Baker Band • Page 33

Only Choked Up, & then their stuff as the Star Killers.

 

I guess you're right, though it's rap music and major artists you're talking about. Here it's just weird. Look at Ace Enders, Anthony Green or Evan Weiss, all of them releasing like 3 different projects within a year and there's no problem with that : )

 

@Firefly you've been looking for everything Julien's done - maybe you've heard it, but I've just stumbled upon that:

Also, I've discovered a new cool band through Broken Circles called Bandit, and I think some of you guys might like it as it sometimes resembles Star Killers/Julien, and also some different bands like Hrvrd/Eisley. Check out their record 'Of Life'.

 

Thanks so much for the heads up. I hadn't heard that before

 

So I put together the lyrics for Whenever I'm Alone because I couldn't find them anywhere. Suggestions and corrections welcome.

Say I’m young and I won’t argue with you baby
Say you’re gone and I won’t chase after you
Say you don’t want me and I won’t wish I were dead
Or that you were here beside me
Every chance I get

‘Cos I won’t mind waiting around
‘Cos honey who else am I waiting for?
And I don’t mind, drag me around
'Cos honey I’m so used to sleeping on your floor
On your floor

I won’t wonder where you are whenever I go out
I won’t wish you to my room when I fall asleep and now
I won’t think of you no more whenever I’m alone
At least I’ll have the decency to lie and say I don’t

‘Cos I don’t mind waiting around
‘Cos darling who else am I waiting for?
And I don’t mind, drag me around
‘Cos honey I’m so used to sleeping on your floor

And I won’t mind when you choose somebody else
And I won’t mind when you break my heart
And I won’t mind going out all by myself
And I’ll try not to wonder where you are

So I won’t think of you no more whenever I’m alone
At least I’ll have the decency to lie and say I don’t

I don’t mind, I don’t mind

 

where's this from?

 

Song she released ages ago on her tumblr I believe but is no longer there. A kind soul sent it to me as I couldn't find it anywhere else online! Think it's actually more a Forrister song possibly.

 

Would you be able to PM me it :)?

 

Sure thing.

 

As always, thank you!

 

I uploaded the song to Youtube for anyone who wants to hear it :)

 

i liked this when it came out but didn't really dive in too much, "rejoice" kept getting stuck in my head though and i revisited it yesterday and really really love it so yeah

"everybody does" is ++++

 

everybody does and funeral pyre >>>>>

 

and "Something" and "Sprained Ankle"

 

i haven't listened to funeral pyre since watching it on that tiny desk she did, gotta re-listen

 

That's the ultimate version, imho

 

Rejoice and Go Home tho.

 

Go Home is her best song, Funeral Pyre is up there though.

 

These lyrics kill me everytime:

And I haven't been taking my meds
So lock all the cabinets, and send me to bed
Cause I know you're still worried I'm gonna get scared again
And make my insides clean with your kitchen bleach
But I've kissed enough bathroom sinks to make up for the lovers that never loved me
And I know my body is just dirty clothes;
I'm tired of washing my hands
God, I wanna go home

 

Yep. I still tear up about half the time.

 

When she sings that last word, "home," in her Audiotree session....gets me every time.

 

I'll be real I had some transcendent moment listening to Distant Solar Systems the other day.

 

Seeing her in a couple hours!

 

Holy shit she was incredible. Her voice is a superpower.

 

Did she play any new songs?

Out of the three I've heard, these lyrics have always stood out to me:

Try to stay calm 'cos nobody knows
The violent partner you carry around
With claws in your back ripping your clothes
Listing your failures out loud
