      Hey y’all What’s your interpretation of what this line means ??

    • @andreygirl
      @andreygirl ปีที่แล้ว +6

      @@MMacAttack take this with a grain of salt, because i genuinely think this is a completely incorrect interpretation, but here's what it means to ME lol. "nothing turns out like i pictured it" -- she's saying that everything always turns out bad, even when she doesn't think it will, or doesn't want it to. everything always goes sour, always ends up back at "emptiness." to me, she's saying that maybe when she's experienced this emptiness so many times, even when she thinks she won't, maybe it's just a facet of who she is that she can't be anything but empty. if you fight for long enough and you end up at the same place every time, you start to think it's just who you are -- "a lesson in canvases." she's being taught by herself, repeatedly, that is essential to who she is, her identity as a "canvas," that she will always end up with emptiness. there is no other result. she equates herself with emptiness, with always coming back to the same place of suffering.

    • @nicoleausten4251
      @nicoleausten4251 ปีที่แล้ว

      There's the potential for beautiful things to come out of emptiness. Like a blank canvas turning into a work of art. "Nothing turns out like I pictured it" - she's been forced to reconsider a lot of things in her life, dreams and conclusions which once felt solid. And while that process can be painful, it also allows her to reconsider the meaning of emptiness, and what she might be able to make out of it, or paint onto it. She HAS to believe things will turn out alright, and that her blank hopelessness will eventually flower into something beautiful. Just my interpretation, not sure if it's right. I really love this lyric@@MMacAttack

    • @lcf3179
      @lcf3179 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      ​@@andreygirl i adore that interpretation! the way i hear it is how avoiding feeling as a coping mechanism and in return feeling only empty all the time is a less damning alternative to picturing things a certain way and having the reality falling short every time- as in someone constantly failing to make a painting turn out the way they hope and choosing to take it as a lesson that canvases are better left blank, and devoid of emotion

    She definitely gets an award for most tasteful use of a looper pedal on that last song. Always good to take a minute to appreciate her guitar skills, which can be lost in the face of the songwriting and singing skills.

    Every time I hear these tiny desks, I'm blown away by the audio quality. It makes no sense for something recorded in an office to sound this good, and yet it does. Sometimes they'll record a full band with only two mics, placed 2-3 feet from the performers, and everything sounds crystal clear. Is it the mic? is it the space? Is it magic?

      Maria Mena from Norway is also this real, though not always as melancholic/soothing. But you get the same feeling of a person distilling how they feel and what they've been through into pure melody and pouring themselves into you through your ears. :)

    A part of me hopes her records would sell like crazy and tries to make sure everyone I know is familiar with her music so no silly producer would ever get the chance to mess with the utter sincerity and pureness etched across her work. The other part of me worries that no longer would I be able to see such a phenomenal live artist for less than 15 quids and there is of course the very real case of large audience expectations' weighing down creativity. Regardless, seeing such a wholesome human become huge gives me hope.

      The best musicians to me are all like that. Kevin Devine moves to tears every time he plays live but the album music is not nearly as powerful because it's never as emotive as a live performance will be. Music is art, and art is meant to move you. Feeling the emotion behind it as much easier when you watch it being performed. We need more artists like these, whom viewing and listening to, actually feels like art rather than just something to bob your head to

    I used to never wear a seatbelt
    'Cause I said I didn't care
    What happened
    And I didn't see the point
    In trying to save myself
    From an accident
    'Cause if somebody's gonna help me
    What's this fabric gonna help
    And when I'm pitched through the windshield
    I hope the last thing that I felt before the pavement
    Was my body float
    I hope my soul goes too
    I shouldn't have let you leave
    I should have called you twice
    But I didn't
    'Cause it's always something else
    And I know it's a bad time
    But there's no one left for me to call
    And I was wondering if you would be my ride
    And damn it, we are gonna figure something out
    If it takes me all night to make it hurt less
    Leave the car running
    I'm not ready to go
    It doesn't matter where
    I just don't want to be alone
    And as long as you're not tired yet
    Of talking, it helps to make it hurt less
    Oh, leave the car running
    I'm not ready to go
    And it doesn't matter where
    I just don't want to be alone
    And as long as you're not tired yet
    Of talking, it helps to make it hurt less
    This year I've started wearing safety belts
    When I'm driving
    Because when I'm with you
    I don't have to think about myself
    And it hurts less

    This just popped up in my recommend videos and I was like sure why not, i had never heard of her. Now here I am trying not to cry at work, failing mind you. I just have so many feelings about this and her voice and those lyrics and her playing and yeah man, this is top shelf music.

    This girl performing makes me feel things, and that's a very hard thing to do, so thanks NPR!

    She is simply amazing. Her first npr concert was just also amazing. Julien, the telecaster and her voice is in perfect harmony.

    julien is magical i find her music in such strange periods of my life. she reaches a different part of my soul than other artists.

    Never clicked a video so fast. Thank you for hosting Julien's amazing music a second time (the first video introduced me and many others to her, and we're now lifelong fans!)

    A SECOND Tiny Desk Concert for the same artist! Wow!
    Wish list for other artists to have a second Tiny Desk Concert:
    Leon Bridges
    Tedeschi Trucks Band
    Those 2 ^ were phenomenal and I have rewatched both numerous times.
    Keep the Tiny Desk Concerts coming!

    What an incredible performance. Never heard of her before, but came out of that video with probably a new favorite artist.

    I tend to be annoyingly cerebral when it comes to music I like (a weakness I think), but she sets a mood and strikes at it deep down. Thanks for this one!

    my favorite part of NPR is how intimate it is. The artist always gets so awkward and it's so cute!!

    Second Julien Baker npr I've watched, unbelievable fantastic music, so glad I've found you and your music this day. These days it gets a little rare to find singers, musicians, song writers who have that connection with there own soul, which enables them to touch ours so deeply.

    5 years ago, I promised myself to not come here unless i’m better. Mentally and physically
    And here I am now again.
    I’m as comfortable with my skin as my love for this video

  • @drunkass77
    @drunkass77 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The stuff she plays on her tele is pretty sweet. Her songs are way deeper than anything i can come up with. My songs are pretty much to my dog telling him how cool he is lol

  • @bakuslash52

    So happy you guys brought her back. She's become one of my favorite singer songwriters and I never would have heard of her if it weren't for NPR

    @ChuckD008 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It's even harder to hold back tears when seeing her live. I'm so glad she's blown up even more with her powerful second album (I'm sure moving to Matador was also helpful). Can't wait to see her again (with Courtney Barnett no less)

  • @jadenpotts4389

    my personal measure for music is if it makes me feel things and i love it. and jb makes feel it TOO much. i cant watch a set without tearing up at the least :)
