The music is great but we need to talk about the production quality of this stop-motion animation. Next level. Props to Joe Baughman and his very small team!
this whole album is such a masterpiece....as someone who has struggled with life-long chronic depression, eating disorders, and substance abuse, and who is currently in a relapse right now, this album really hits close to home. it hurts, but in a good way. exactly what i needed right now.
The emotion in the dog's eyes right before it lights the fuse!!!!!!! YO!!!!!!!! Staying away from booze is a whole lot easier with this level art to be inspired by!!!! THANK YOU JB and FAM!!!!!
Wow ... After seeing the Grammys I have been listening to all three of you .. what an amazing talent level you all have. Just beautiful music. I'm blessed to have found it.
1. okay Julien has definitely levelled up 2. it must have taken so much time to make this video 3. that's why we probably waited for so long since Faith Healer! I'm waiting for the album and I'm glad that Julien is here with her music to brighten our days.
I kept getting tired of faith healer by early December and then eventually I kept thinking we weren't getting anything else before the album but then a new single gets announced which I was really happy about as the wait between hardlines and faith healer was too long and i was getting super inpatient.
@@sethmishne yeah, me too, kind of. I also thought that Faith Healer was the only single we would get while waiting for the release of the album. And I probably listened to it every day so I needed something new. And Julien just came here and saved us all.
2:35 "Just me and my dog and an impossible view" also fun fact as of now, i learned that the dog's name is beans. if that's not the most precious thing...
I’ve always hoped for post-rock with ethereal, indie-style vocals. Julien Baker has made my wildest music dreams come true with this song. I can’t stop listening.
This is one of the most creative music videos I’ve seen in a very long time. Just amazing visual art. We’ve missed your music so much during this difficult time. Thank you for all that you do Julian! Your music gives me hope while being surrounded by darkness. God bless. ❤️
Feel like this song sucker-punched me. Broke down listening to this because today was the hardest day I've had in months and this spoke to me like nothing else. Incredible song. This is gonna be one of the year’s best albums.
LYRICS [Verse 1] Blackout on a weekday Still, something that I'm trying to avoid Start asking for forgiveness in advance For all the future things I will destroy That way I can ruin everything When I do, you don't get to act surprised When it finally gets to be too much I always told you you could leave at any time Until then I'll split the difference Between medicine and poison Take what I can get away with While it burns right through my stomach I'm telling my own fortune Something I cannot escape I can see where this is going But I can't find the brake [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Knocked out on a weekend Would you hit me this hard if I werе a boy? See, I don't need you to defend me 'Causе it's just the sort of thing that I enjoy Took the fallout, draw a hard line When I cross it, it's the third time Say my own name in the mirror And when nobody appears Say it's not so cut and dry Oh, it isn't black and white What if it's all black, baby? All the time [Outro] Oh, all the time Oh, all the time Oh, all the time
what was this ending... for real, it made me feel so dejected, sad and done for to think of loved ones going through the hardest of hardships on their lives, but the way a dog witnessed its owner through that made it a billion times worse 😭
That moment in the video when the words on print say "demons in the sky" and the lyrics rhyme: "And when nobody appears/Say it's not so cut and dry/Oh it isn't black and white" ... my breath was absolutely obliterated
What's worse than drowning? Knowing that you are drowning but not being able to do anything but ask forgiveness from those who chose to stay despite everything. Thanks for this masterpiece, Julien.
My sister woke up at 9:30 today and decided to watch this... by the end we started crying and laughing all at the same time... great song Julien and awesome claymation!
This came to me the morning after my girlfriend died in a freak accident saving two struggling swimmers. For that I will always treasure this and you Julien. Thank you.
Got the LP and it plays repeatedly. Baker is fantastic. Beautiful, melancholy, passionate, and chill. I don't encounter such bliss often. I only hope Baker cares for herself or has a strong support network.
We’ve all missed you Julien, your music hits me hard, you always write about subjects I struggle with (depression, anxiety, sadness.. and it’s beautiful, I feel like I’m not alone .. thank you much love from Ecuador 🇪🇨
ive been listening to julien's discography (and lucy's will be next) to prepare myself for the release of the record and maaaaan. it's been an experience to hear how much julien's music has evolved. it makes me all giddy & high. also crying over this goddamn beautiful fucking stop motion
I love Julien's evolution and how I grow and change along with her style and music, she helped me through dark times and impacted me so much, it's crazy. Thank you 💙
It's simple for me. This is so breath taking. It just sits up and eats everything on my menu. Incredible album. Thanks J. Feel the curve of the earth. Big fan
Wow I am really crying on this one...... just looking back on the two years of life. Plus that dachshund really hit home since I use to have two of them... 😢
What a weird game! A 1990s christian subculture alternative to Magic the Gathering. Because Magic is evil somehow but in Redemption one player is the literal Devil, trying to get as many souls to go to hell as possible. Yeah, much better 👌
Took the fallout, draw a hard line When I cross it, it's the third time Say my own name in the mirror And when nobody appears Say it's not so cut and dry Oh, it isn't black and white What if it's all black, baby? All the time. Goddamn.
Im really excited to discover the transition to the next album. So far I've seen the albums as one continuous process to a liberating status. Aaaaaand Im sure Julien will keep this wonderful continuity going..
Watching this video after the release of the boygenius album is so cool because idk if she meant to allude to the imagery they'd use in the film/in other songs but literally right off the bat there's a truck on fire like in $20 and the main character is staring up at the ceiling fan
ah yes, the good old feeling of being *super* sad and *super* happy at the same time. Glad you're back Julien, we've missed you.
Gotta love Julien

The music is great but we need to talk about the production quality of this stop-motion animation. Next level. Props to Joe Baughman and his very small team!
This Video is indeed incredible!
This is outstanding work.
same thought.
Quite silly joke❤
makes me cry it's so good
this whole album is such a masterpiece....as someone who has struggled with life-long chronic depression, eating disorders, and substance abuse, and who is currently in a relapse right now, this album really hits close to home. it hurts, but in a good way. exactly what i needed right now.
hope you’re doing a little better now
Continue to take care of yourself!
The emotion in the dog's eyes right before it lights the fuse!!!!!!! YO!!!!!!!!

great catch 🥰
Split the difference between poison and medicine...
Lol that's my friend's cat's name
@@GEORGETHOMAS2001 that's my cousin's cat's name!
I’ve always hoped for post-rock with ethereal, indie-style vocals. Julien Baker has made my wildest music dreams come true with this song. I can’t stop listening.
this song is a fucking masterpiece and this video is beautifully devastating. thank you, Julien & Co. 🖤

I knew I'd love it but...wow. this may be one of my favorite Julien Baker songs to date right off the bat????
Oh. My. Dear. Joe Baughman and Andrew DeSelm, this is amazing. So many scenes. Heart-wrenching and beautiful.
Hope Julien's music makes life as good for you as it does for me :) have a great day all of you wonderful human beings
You are amazing you wonderful person, have a nice rest of your 24 hours
LYRICS
[Verse 1]
Blackout on a weekday
Still, something that I'm trying to avoid
Start asking for forgiveness in advance
For all the future things I will destroy
That way I can ruin everything
When I do, you don't get to act surprised
When it finally gets to be too much
I always told you you could leave at any time
Until then I'll split the difference
Between medicine and poison
Take what I can get away with
While it burns right through my stomach
I'm telling my own fortune
Something I cannot escape
I can see where this is going
But I can't find the brake
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Knocked out on a weekend
Would you hit me this hard if I werе a boy?
See, I don't need you to defend me
'Causе it's just the sort of thing that I enjoy
Took the fallout, draw a hard line
When I cross it, it's the third time
Say my own name in the mirror
And when nobody appears
Say it's not so cut and dry
Oh, it isn't black and white
What if it's all black, baby?
All the time
[Outro]
Oh, all the time
Oh, all the time
Oh, all the time
I love the new direction she's taking, exploring new sounds
The drums and bass make this even more epic
i’m crying already
what was this ending... for real, it made me feel so dejected, sad and done for to think of loved ones going through the hardest of hardships on their lives, but the way a dog witnessed its owner through that made it a billion times worse 😭
That moment in the video when the words on print say "demons in the sky" and the lyrics rhyme: "And when nobody appears/Say it's not so cut and dry/Oh it isn't black and white" ... my breath was absolutely obliterated
there's something about stop-motion animation that creeps the heck out of me but this was beautiful
i'm still reeling from faith healer idk if i can process this rn. don't talk to me about the whole album i think im going to pass away
Holy shit I’m SO stoked for the whole album. Those first two songs are GOLD!!!
it's 1 am and here i am crying my heart out
What's worse than drowning? Knowing that you are drowning but not being able to do anything but ask forgiveness from those who chose to stay despite everything.
Thanks for this masterpiece, Julien.
I’m ready to cry with purpose
edit: I'M IN FUCKING TEARS
"Hardline" debuted at #1 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!
She’s doing amazing and completely starting this new phase in her career off right!
Just saw Julien at Wild Hearts tour in Boston. She absolutely killed it.
My sister woke up at 9:30 today and decided to watch this... by the end we started crying and laughing all at the same time... great song Julien and awesome claymation!
Shivers the entire song. Rollercoaster of emotion throughout the video.
The craft put into this video is amazing
This came to me the morning after my girlfriend died in a freak accident saving two struggling swimmers. For that I will always treasure this and you Julien. Thank you.
so sorry to hear that, my condolences.. stay strong, bud!
Got the LP and it plays repeatedly. Baker is fantastic. Beautiful, melancholy, passionate, and chill. I don't encounter such bliss often. I only hope Baker cares for herself or has a strong support network.
We’ve all missed you Julien, your music hits me hard, you always write about subjects I struggle with (depression, anxiety, sadness.. and it’s beautiful, I feel like I’m not alone .. thank you much love from Ecuador 🇪🇨
Wow. This is an incredible song and a magnificent visual. Bravo to Julien and the filmmakers involved 👏
I'm not even sure what exactly this video is about but I got straight chills anyway. Wow. Stunning track too.
love the way julien's music heading. the way she use more instruments and some beat drop is 💯💯💯
ive been listening to julien's discography (and lucy's will be next) to prepare myself for the release of the record and maaaaan. it's been an experience to hear how much julien's music has evolved. it makes me all giddy & high. also crying over this goddamn beautiful fucking stop motion
Both the music and the video are incredible, we've missed you julien !!
honestly though, can't tell whether i'm happy or sad.....
I loved Phoebe and found Julian through Boygenious. Now I LOVE her…awesome talent-all heart ❤️.
This is fantastic.
I love Julien's evolution and how I grow and change along with her style and music, she helped me through dark times and impacted me so much, it's crazy. Thank you 💙
I don't have much to add but I believe this video deserves to be seen.
💕💕💕...what a greatful voice... what a greatful song ...💕 and what a greatful singer....💕💕💕
It's simple for me. This is so breath taking. It just sits up and eats everything on my menu. Incredible album. Thanks J. Feel the curve of the earth. Big fan
I’m so mad more people haven’t seen this video. Thanks to my best friend for showing me this.
I feel like I'm gonna listen to this over and over again
Wow I am really crying on this one...... just looking back on the two years of life. Plus that dachshund really hit home since I use to have two of them... 😢
The stop motion on this, breath taking
December 15, 2021

今作は特にリリックも歌声も最高ですね♪♪
This new album might end up being her best one.
Love this woman
man, I realized I didn't even watch the video, I was just staring and listening. The song was too good.
Appreciate the Redemption cards at 2:36, brings back memories of another life. Anybody else collect?
What a weird game! A 1990s christian subculture alternative to Magic the Gathering. Because Magic is evil somehow but in Redemption one player is the literal Devil, trying to get as many souls to go to hell as possible. Yeah, much better 👌
Thanks for your Music and lyrics - thank you Julien!
My anthem to all my friends 🙏🏼
i love how your music gives me goosebumps
Took the fallout, draw a hard line
When I cross it, it's the third time
Say my own name in the mirror
And when nobody appears
Say it's not so cut and dry
Oh, it isn't black and white
What if it's all black, baby?
All the time.
Goddamn.
Heavy bpd vibes ❤

Im really excited to discover the transition to the next album. So far I've seen the albums as one continuous process to a liberating status. Aaaaaand Im sure Julien will keep this wonderful continuity going..

Those devastated soaring vocals from 3:07 to 3:40... Similar moments in Where Will I Be by Emmylou Harris.
Best movie of 2020 or 2021 award
Absolutely incredible.
Beautifulness everywhere around here
This album is going to be so good omg
Thank you Julien.
This is beautiful. So excited for the album
Love this so much
Watching this video after the release of the boygenius album is so cool because idk if she meant to allude to the imagery they'd use in the film/in other songs but literally right off the bat there's a truck on fire like in $20 and the main character is staring up at the ceiling fan
Getting ready to roll out of the door ! A head out to catch 3 julien baker shows in.the UK in.may2022😎
Perfection.
Blown away
