the part "if this is a prison im willing to buy my own chain" with the lyrics and peak vocal range of Julien and Phoebe makes me think this is the 3 second best segment of any song ever
Phoebe's belting parts in this song (and the way they blend with Julien and Lucy's vocals at those points in the song) are some of my favorite vocals ever. Gives me chills every time.
Georgia yeah, sorry for being a grammarnazi; what she is doing is called (by some) ‘vamping’ (playing few notes and sustaining them over many bars). Shredding refers to a specific way of playing multiple fast notes in sequence, sometimes legato but usually using alternate picking (@30 seconds th-cam.com/video/JslLRgpNhhc/w-d-xo.html). Otherwise you just say, colloquially and hypothetically, “...I forgot how well she can ‘play’ (or ‘vamp’[sic])”
It's hard to believe they did one album together and went on their own ways again. I hope some time in the near future they come together again and do another album.
They all blew up and went on massive solo tours, plus, ya know, the Rona. But they were caught doing a photo shoot in public a few weeks ago in LA.. I think we're in for another round!!!!!!!
I have to say I was already a fan of Julien and Phoebe, but I've just started listening to Lucy's solo stuff and it rocks. What a trio. They're like The Traveling Wilburys of their generation.
I also think of them as like Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Your comparison is great, too, since the Traveling Wilburys had great musicians, as well, although there were five in the group and there are only three in boygenius, so they're not quite the same.
I never knew it was Phoebe who did the loud scream in the harmony at the end of the song. I always thought it was Julien. Regardless, very impressive and just such an amazing track. I love these three women so much.
Julien has mentioned in an interview that they all loved doing this so much that they wanna do it again... I can only hope it happens soon! I was at the Toronto show where they sang Ketchum ID completely off mic and I've never been so moved
the part that goes "I'm gnashing my teeth, like a child of cain, if this is a prison I'm willing to burn my own chain" just feels like a punch in the face every time I hear it
This group as a whole is phenomenal. I loved that little smile Lucy gives when Julien belts out some vocals. I don't know who that is playing the drums, but great textures and laying back without stepping on anyone else (i'm a drummer). I can't get enough of this group, I hope they keep on keepin on.
that quitar at 2:01 is like a 4th voice. First time i feel like a string has a living soul. It felt like the quitar is happy she is singing with Julien
found out my crush doesn’t like me tonight. cried the whole way home. felt extra liberating listening to this song while crying. what is for me will be for me, what’s not will exit my life.
[Verse 1: Lucy Dacus] You put salt in the wound And a kiss on my cheek You butter me up And you sit down to eat You add insult to injury You say you believe in me But you haven’t decided About taking or leaving me [Chorus: Lucy Dacus, Julien Baker] But you take and you take Like silks up my sleeve Tied corner to corner, never ending Trick after trick, I make the magic And you unrelentingly ask for the secret [Verse 2: Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers] Neck full of (?) All calling your name I tried to sing it all back Like I heard it don’t sound the same I’m gnashing my teeth Like a child of Cain If this is a prison I’m willing to burn my own chain [Chorus: Lucy Dacus, Julien Baker] But you take and you take Like silks up my sleeve Tied corner to corner, never ending Trick after trick, I make the magic And you unrelentingly ask for the secret [Outro: Lucy Dacus, Julien Baker] (?) the hearts and minds are on your side (?) the finish line is in your sights What they don’t say is on the other side (?) the hearts and minds are on your side
Everytime I listen to this song by these women I find the feeling gets more intense. It reaches into me and grabs hold of my soul and gives it a good shake. Amazing.
I don't know how long this has been out and don't care' heard it for the first time today on Mountain Stage radio show and was hooked. Hell of a song man'hell of a song.
I've watched so many of their videos and it doesn't matter where they play, whether it's local radio or large venue, they always play emotionally and attack the vocals. Very powerful.
I heard the first 3seconds of this on Netflix’s Trinkets and boiiii I got so excitedddd I started singin along 😭 you guys have been my favorite band for some time now :’) you babes are incredible
@@kaitlyncollison6908 2 year after the question, sorry. Long story long; I found out my wife was cheating on me November of 2018 and spent a lot of time alone listening to new music that wasn't tied to the past decade... I had a coworker at the time who was a huge fan of all 3 of them and posted his Spotify wrapped about the same time and NPR released their Tiny Des. The same time all of these videos released to my internet AND my IRL algorithm put me on to them. Since then I've seen Phoebe with Conor as BOCC, Phoebers solo and Lucy open for Conor/BE.
She's playing an older looking telecaster and it looks like she might have changed the neck pick-up out to a, "P-90" pick-up. Don't know what pedals she's using though
Listening to this music kinda reminded me of her 😭😭😭 wherever you are I know you're happy with your gf right now and me as of the moment focusing on my career 😶. Hey I just wanna say I miss you 😭
This song is so powerful. I makes me think of going back in time and being stuck with myself 8 years ago. Contemplating murdering him, but then realizing he's not to blame for all of the mistakes I made.
the part "if this is a prison im willing to buy my own chain" with the lyrics and peak vocal range of Julien and Phoebe makes me think this is the 3 second best segment of any song ever
but then again theres phoebe at 3:46
Absolutely
Phoebe's belting parts in this song (and the way they blend with Julien and Lucy's vocals at those points in the song) are some of my favorite vocals ever. Gives me chills every time.
Agree, heard it 20 times. What exquisite harmony.
It's truly perfect
Legitimately think Julien Baker is one of the most talented musicians I've ever heard. Also might be THE best sounding live artist I've ever heard.
Gotta catch her on tour! it's unbeatable!
YOU GOT WHAT YOU HOPED FOR!!!!!
Julien SHREDS, I love it!
agreed
give me chills everytime
why did i forget how well julien can SHRED
HOW COULD U
@@mthomsmith :'(
I’m sorry, but I don’t think you understand what ‘shredding’ is
@@ramahadranhennessy9300 i used it loosely but the girl can shred

When phoebe screams those high notes... I’m in love
It's hard to believe they did one album together and went on their own ways again. I hope some time in the near future they come together again and do another album.
you heard graceland too off of phoebe bridgers’s most recent record?
They all blew up and went on massive solo tours, plus, ya know, the Rona. But they were caught doing a photo shoot in public a few weeks ago in LA.. I think we're in for another round!!!!!!!
You won’t believe this
well, guess what...
HOW WE FEELING
I have to say I was already a fan of Julien and Phoebe, but I've just started listening to Lucy's solo stuff and it rocks. What a trio. They're like The Traveling Wilburys of their generation.
YES
I also think of them as like Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Your comparison is great, too, since the Traveling Wilburys had great musicians, as well, although there were five in the group and there are only three in boygenius, so they're not quite the same.
@Ryan H. The Wilburys, or Boygenius? I'm just making an analogy dude.
More like Ani DiFranco with the Indigo Girls for this New Modern Age
I was thinking Parton, Rondstat and Harris myself. I love this trio it’s a great EP
I don't care how "old" this is. It's gold. So glad the universe made this band happen.
Love the faces Julien makes when she's kicking it up a notch
i don't think there's enough comments in here about how amazing lucy is in this song
"Gnashing my teeth
like a child of Cain.
If this is a prison
I'm willing to burn my own chain."
damn. 🔥
Isn’t it “...buy my own chain”? Google says “burn” but I always hear “buy”.
Ha! That's awesome.
I thought it was bite lol
I thought it was bite. Being that she referenced teeth. 🤔
Probably my favourite Boygenius song so far. Love the huge sounds of the distorted guitars, and the singing is so passionate it gives me goosebumps!
No doubt. How the song grows is great. Must be played loud !
I never knew it was Phoebe who did the loud scream in the harmony at the end of the song. I always thought it was Julien. Regardless, very impressive and just such an amazing track. I love these three women so much.
Jeez, those beautifully screamed harmonies...
Lucy Dacus is so underated, she has such an amazing singing voice, her solo albums are simply amazing
Julien has mentioned in an interview that they all loved doing this so much that they wanna do it again... I can only hope it happens soon! I was at the Toronto show where they sang Ketchum ID completely off mic and I've never been so moved
Damn I'm from Toronto I wish I could've seen that, sounds insane
@@chadross same, only got into these three more recently, damn
well
the part that goes "I'm gnashing my teeth, like a child of cain, if this is a prison I'm willing to burn my own chain" just feels like a punch in the face every time I hear it
This group as a whole is phenomenal. I loved that little smile Lucy gives when Julien belts out some vocals.

The drummer is Marshall Vore. He's pretty awesome.
Lucy writes the hardest lyrics to deal with.
3:03
“They say the hearts and minds are on your side
They say the finish line is in your sights
What they don’t say is what's on the other side“
Insta-goose-bumps and lovely chills
These 3 may never be seen as solo artists again. This song is beyond beautiful. It reminds me that folk Rock hasn't yet given up the Ghost.
the magic and power of a trio of queer women
that quitar at 2:01 is like a 4th voice. First time i feel like a string has a living soul. It felt like the quitar is happy she is singing with Julien
Learn how to spell guitar first
@@user-ux1vj9vx7sjesus, it's just a letter
One of the best comments ever, so poetical, so accurate
@user-ux1vj9vx7s calm down, get off your high horse and just appreciate their view/impression of the song. No need to be a prick.
Julien is absolutely shredding at the 4 minute mark.
lucy’s voice is so gorgeous oh my goodness,,,,,, literally alto goals
Incredibly good. Shame on me for only finding them in late 2023
i will definitely need boygenius album in 2019
:D
they’re reuniting twice on Phoebe’s new album!!
@@awesomeface265 where?
jude d, graceland too and i know the end (julien and lucy are a little faint here).
aidan omg i had no clue. Thanks.
The angels weep when this song is played. Stunningly beautiful.
They all have such great live singing voices. Unreal.
The Heart Of A Blackbird watch her Rig Rundown!
Lucy's voice is such a gift
found out my crush doesn’t like me tonight. cried the whole way home. felt extra liberating listening to this song while crying. what is for me will be for me, what’s not will exit my life.
Aw, I know all about unrequited love..hugs to you. Music will heal and you will find true love.
It's for the better
[Verse 1: Lucy Dacus]
You put salt in the wound
And a kiss on my cheek
You butter me up
And you sit down to eat
You add insult to injury
You say you believe in me
But you haven’t decided
About taking or leaving me
[Chorus: Lucy Dacus, Julien Baker]
But you take and you take
Like silks up my sleeve
Tied corner to corner, never ending
Trick after trick, I make the magic
And you unrelentingly ask for the secret
[Verse 2: Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers]
Neck full of (?)
All calling your name
I tried to sing it all back
Like I heard it don’t sound the same
I’m gnashing my teeth
Like a child of Cain
If this is a prison I’m willing to burn my own chain
[Chorus: Lucy Dacus, Julien Baker]
But you take and you take
Like silks up my sleeve
Tied corner to corner, never ending
Trick after trick, I make the magic
And you unrelentingly ask for the secret
[Outro: Lucy Dacus, Julien Baker]
(?) the hearts and minds are on your side
(?) the finish line is in your sights
What they don’t say is on the other side
(?) the hearts and minds are on your side
Sometimes you get Julien and Phoebe confused but thanks for the lyrics!!
In outro: (?) = They say
I think it’s neck full of mockingbirds
amazing
This is one of the most incredible songs I've ever heard in my life.
Just played this song on loop, and tearing my eyes out after holding 2 years of feelings. Oddly love how much it hurts.
Haven’t seen a singer open their mouth like that to project since Janis. Damn Phoebe!
This was a spiritual experience.
They sound SO good both live and recorded
damn!!!
That’s what happens when there’s not a lot of fluff and just talent
Everytime I listen to this song by these women I find the feeling gets more intense. It reaches into me and grabs hold of my soul and gives it a good shake. Amazing.
The plural of Phoebe is Phoebi
Phoebii
Legend ary reply.
That drummer was FEELING IT
MARSHALL
I don't know how long this has been out and don't care' heard it for the first time today on Mountain Stage radio show and was hooked. Hell of a song man'hell of a song.
I love the beauty of the music, no gimmicks. Just their essential talent feeding people.
That chick shreds.
Julien Baker? Yes, she's awesome.
I genuinely adore this band
This is so god damn underrated, the three of them together are pure magic.
Sharting to this omfg
girl same
I've watched so many of their videos and it doesn't matter where they play, whether it's local radio or large venue, they always play emotionally and attack the vocals. Very powerful.
I love the drummer's last fill! so masterful...still trying to figure it out. fucking great band all around
Genuinely one of the best songs this year. A true rock anthem. So sad their tour is over :(
We need a boygenius LP!!!!!
Strap on dear heart, because this song is a rollercoaster of emotions. Elite vocals, lyrics & arrangement.
I can't get over how frickin good this is. 😭
INCREDIBLE. Period.
holy fucking hell the harmonies
I heard the first 3seconds of this on Netflix’s Trinkets and boiiii I got so excitedddd I started singin along 😭 you guys have been my favorite band for some time now :’) you babes are incredible
Lame.
This song has the saddest parts of a soul in it. It gives the song life. Hits me in the heart.
One of the best songs of the decade
This was the track AND the live performance that won me over. They earned their 2023 hype right about here.
I'm new to all 3 of them. I found them yesterday. This is my favorite fucking song and performance and youtube video of the year.
just curious- how did you stumble across them?

I'M FINALLY SEEING THEM ON TUESDAY IN PITTSBURGH.
F***ING FANTASTIC ... love, love, love these gals, and this song ...
This is such an amazing song, and they perform it so beautifully.
This might be my favorite song ever
that was the absolute perfect solo to end the song; well done Julien!
dude how does julien get that amazing tone??
she just did a whole video explaining her setup and pedals on the premier guitar's channel !
@@juliathesheep thanks! imma check that out
@@TheFarecry also... her hands and her ears.... just sayin'
@@yateswebb you shouldn't have just said, it made you seem like a dick :)
She's playing an older looking telecaster and it looks like she might have changed the neck pick-up out to a, "P-90" pick-up.
Don't know what pedals she's using though
i want julien to top me so bad
Elle I felt that
Honestly same
So bad, Elle
their best song
Love you, Julien!
This still is my favorite song of them
insane vocals on this one
They found a place in my heart!!!
my fav song ever i think

Listening to this music kinda reminded me of her 😭😭😭 wherever you are I know you're happy with your gf right now and me as of the moment focusing on my career 😶. Hey I just wanna say I miss you 😭
i feel you. hope u're ok
HOLLY FUCKIBG SHIT PHEOBES VOICE AT THE END i am in shock and in years oh my god
Julien and Phoebe BELT (Lucy has a sweet-n-sad great voice)
Absolutely wonderful
I can't describe how beautiful this song is, even more on live. You three delivered it so well💖
Dieser Song ist für immer im kollektiven Gedächtnis verankert. Einfach nur noch Großartig. Gruß 👍
First I’ve heard them, Wonderful!
Can country be soulful? Absolutely!
salt in the wound is my gateway to boygenius!!!
drummer is feeling it.
the bassist is keeping it cool ;-)
Except for the ending when he completely dropped the measure lol
I watch this a couple times per day.
I sure hope they make another record and tour together again
GOT DANG!!! This song is _pure_ music!
Bliss👍👍👍
I will never get over how good this is.
This song kicks so much ass!!!
Supergroup. Legend.
I just put this vid on repeat
Great song
Wow. Almost no words. How unbelievably good is this.😊
This is wonderful.
PLEASE BOYGENIUS MAKE MORE MUSIC (please)
What a great song.
Estoy tan pero tan enamorado de Julien...
I just melted...
Simply Brilliant!
Such a stunning voice and beautiful take on a great song. Love what you bring to it!
This song is so powerful. I makes me think of going back in time and being stuck with myself 8 years ago. Contemplating murdering him, but then realizing he's not to blame for all of the mistakes I made.
THIS SONG IS HEAVEN
. . .
Man, Julien Baker is something so special! ❤
