The bravery of someone this sensitive, introverted and depressed to put herself out there so publicly is amazing to me. I'm glad that her bravery is as strong as it is because she's certainly the most talented living musician that I know of. To think that there are insanely talented lyricists, instrument players, vocalists that can emote when they sing that hide themselves away due to the agony of being seen is so sad. The world needs you if you are reading this. Please bring your work into the light.
@Pixi Do you realize how many Christians turned atheists there are as well? You can find hundreds on TH-cam, as well as testimonies of conversions to Mormonism, Islam, etc. Personal anecdote is not good evidence.
"I pray, asking why did you let them leave and make me stay - when you know my name and all my hideous mistakes, but I rejoice." Good GOD. Thank you for this girl and this praise. Took my heart so much higher.
Her faith and emotion remember me when I was asking the same questions at her age. It still hurts asking, specially when the good people you love and respect depart too soon.
I’ve lost two close friends, one to a drunk driver and another to suicide. Out of the whole song, this line hits me the hardest, because I can relate so much. I struggle from similar depression and anxiety that lead my one friend to take her own life. But then the second part of that line comes in. Through the pain of life and loss, I must rejoice. RIP Aaron and Kaci. I miss y’all
There's only a few people who can sing as passionate as her, every version I've seen through lots of sessions of youtube has something different and unique, she never half-ass a song or performance.
@@AdmiralSarcasm I'm just pointing out that no it's not 'so crazy she's so young'. PLENTY of artists are famous before 20. It's a preference of music producers to get talent as young as their skills allow.
Her performances hit me with the same jolt of power and emotion that Tracy Chapman did like 30 years ago. She's an insanely good singer and guitar player. Unreal.
This is my favourite performance of hers I think, the best version of Rejoice for sure. It is just so intense from the "lift my voice" line until the end.
I think Julien Baker just surpassed The Avett Brothers as my favorite Cardinal Session, which is saying a lot. I'm constantly amazed at how she puts so much raw emotion into every. single. performance.
I feel as if its such an intimate moment when she drops in on this last chorus that we aren't even supposed to be seeing it. Rather its a drunk gut wrenched vent to a close close friend who is there just to because they love you, and she knows that and she is at whits END and just spills it all to god and her friend I love every second of this version and the album version thank you Julien!
Just discovered Julien and her music and I'm in awe. There's something about her that shines through her music. It connects with me very well. Hope to see her live someday. ❤️
She is five feet tall and ALL of her height is coming out of her mouth. This tiny perfect human. Holy shit what I would give just to have a conversation with her
i’ve been listening to this song for about three years now... always loved it. yesterday was my best friends anniversary from overdosing. i never truly listened to lyrics or comprehended them like i did today. wow. i will always miss you jordan
I’m Christian I only listen to worship, the lyrics to this song hit hard are powerfully beautifully written. God bless Julien Baker! The God of Israel hears you and sees you 🕊️
I love this song so much & this performance is my absolute favorite! I've probably watched this about 100 times. Julien Baker is such a little girl but she can belt out some powerful vocals that are haunting and beautiful.
Goddamn, after listening to this one for probably 100 times, major props to the sound people for capturing the sound this well out on a street, it is perfect!
I like how Julien lets the sounds of the city just bleed in on her performance. It really made everything come together as being very honest and straightforward. Then the crescendo towards the end just really punches you right in the face. Just incredible.
Outstanding song. Love how folks are just walking by and how Julien falls back into the moment before belting out the end of the song. Beautiful performance.

Gotta record the vocals better. So much background noise too. Amateur
grammy winner!!!!
YEESSS
I love how she smiles as people walk by. She always seems like such a gentle soul.
This isn't a music video, it's a live session! And from the interviews I've seen she's just a very kind and friendly person.
@Foottapiologist
Haha this comment made me laugth! You thought she wasn't playing live?
Mr Eastforest I met her at a show a few months back and she legitimately one of the kindest people I've ever encountered.
I met her while at work in Memphis. She seemed timid and kind of embarrassed that i recognized her. :D

Bless whoever is making her smile. She deserves the world, honestly. Such an honest musician.

amber person Even coming from just a stranger, this is exactly what i needed to hear. Thank you.
Wow so two years later reading this rn made me cry a bit ima gonna be brave as hell from now on thank you for posting this
i really needed to hear this. it’s so easy to give up on music. thankyou :)
💜 bless your soul..
Amen ❤️
The way she sings her heart out..it's like a punch to the chest. She makes my heart want to burst. Absolutely amazing musician.
I'm agnostic but this song never fails to put me in awe. This is what I call heartfelt.

@@m.k.mcgill I'm so sorry to hear you lost your two friends. Love to you
That line hit me. I have several songs about the friends I've lost and this makes me feel I'm understood.
This line made me burst out in tears. It's the first time I've cried in a while. Really powerful stuff
Song saved my life
"I think there's a god and... " cue kick in the gut and the tears start welling. Thanks Julien for these sounds.
There's only a few people who can sing as passionate as her, every version I've seen through lots of sessions of youtube has something different and unique, she never half-ass a song or performance.
i love this version, especially towards the end how she bellows out 'mistakes' on other versions i've heard it's normally a lot more subdued
Man, she has such control over her voice and playing. So terrific. I can't help but feel something when she plays.
It's crazy that she's so young and is obviously getting better every time she performs. This version surpasses the studio master for me.
I have loved all her live stuff more then recorded. I also love that someone with a pyramids picture commented on this
So young ??
The most famous muscians are famous by the time theyre 20. The biggest names in music were renowned as teenagers.
@@bellezavudd teens and 20yos are still young.

What a set of pipes, and to be able to strum while singing that intensely!
Her performances hit me with the same jolt of power and emotion that Tracy Chapman did like 30 years ago. She's an insanely good singer and guitar player. Unreal.
Props to the person mixing this! The audio is just perfect.
kiekoes 3 years later, I agree. It’s incredible!
On the street no less
@@moosesnWoop was just about to say, it’d be good to get this quality of audio in a building, but in an active street? Beautiful.
A friend introduced me to her last week and I've been addicted since. Then she showed up on Cardinal Sessions - couldn't be happier!
she's so beautiful. absolutely everything about her. she's fighting that smile so hard:)
This is my favourite performance of hers I think, the best version of Rejoice for sure. It is just so intense from the "lift my voice" line until the end.
This is one of the most heartwrenchingly beautiful songs I’ve ever heard in my life.
One of the best singer-songwriters under 25, in my opinion.
One of the best period i would say
aye shawty never stop playing music. its shit like this that still gives me hope for the world. Thank you!
Definitely my favourite version of this song. So so so excited to see her live in a few months!!
she always makes me feel feelings
Cas those feely feels
those feely feels that make me feel.......feely.

I like how she waves to someone at 1:11
Nice, laid-back guitar and beautiful vocals. This is 100% my jam and I'd never heard of her before. Thanks, CardinalSessions :)
TheStupidrule watch her Audio Tree session!! ♡♡
Check out the NPR Tiny Desk Concert, if you haven't already.

Brendan Carter oh gosh same. I never thought I'd say this but
I feel as if its such an intimate moment when she drops in on this last chorus that we aren't even supposed to be seeing it.

Passionate singing... I can see her heart in this song.
Awesome timing of the bicycle bell at 1:42. In time and in key. There are little things of beauty in this world!
Pretty sure that was a text message alert from her phone, lol. You can see her cringe and shake her head after it goes off.
Love love! I listen to the whole sprained ankle album weekly!
Ashley Cole same
sad song number 9

She-and this song specifically-always gives me goosebumps.
Give creativity a guitar and a beautiful voice to tell it's story... Great!
Imagine you were the people walking by at 2:06 with no context of what was happening lol
I would run away in delight and because of shame and shyness 😫
I love her assortment of facial expressions. :-)
She has a sweet voice and her smile is beautiful. :)
she smiles and my heart is full ❤
So so happy I just discovered her music. Where have you been all my life?! Phenomenal
She is five feet tall and ALL of her height is coming out of her mouth. This tiny perfect human. Holy shit what I would give just to have a conversation with her
That voice! Wow!
Can't stop listening to this......
I've listened to this track so many times that the ambient crowd sounds now seem like part of the song.
Wow…just wow.
I have goosebumps on bodyparts of which I didn't even know they existed. This is so pure, so real, so... Just speechless...
I like that the bike's ringing is actually in tone.
i’ve been listening to this song for about three years now... always loved it. yesterday was my best friends anniversary from overdosing. i never truly listened to lyrics or comprehended them like i did today. wow. i will always miss you jordan

my heart my heart, be still my heart.

Man. She understands survivor’s guilt. One of the darkest feelings.
I'm really in love with her :(
same:(
julien is so wonderful
One of our friends just passed. And I don´t know what to say or how to feel. This song made me reconcile with my tears for those already gone.
The way she sings "Away" at 1:25 is so beautiful
This performance really helped me find my faith again. Thank you
Julien is the absolute best.
Outstanding song. Love how folks are just walking by and how Julien falls back into the moment before belting out the end of the song. Beautiful performance.
She sings with such feeling. I'm just amazed
I could watch this on repeat all day.
Nothing makes me happier than her smile
OH MY LORD SHE IS AMAZEBALLS!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE
Im grateful for this channel that now i know about so many great artists that are not popular. Julien, now i know about you)

I watched this today because I knew u needed a good cry. As always Julien, Thank you.
My God. Hideous mistakes not withstanding, this human being has a beautiful soul and bucketfulls of talent.
What a beautiful contrast between a nice sunny day and such an emotional sad song. Life is weird like that
Such a genuine person. I hope to meet her one day!
