Watch the dying embers float to the sky
Hear the creatures calling out soft and wild
The silence doesn’t need my meaningless words
Like plugging up a well with cheap fill dirt
Holding this guitar makes me think of Tom
He would open up the circle make you feel you belong
A river flowing cleaves the stone apart
This pain has carved a canyon into my heart
Someone give me a song to sing that sounds like something real
I want the whole world to know exactly how I feel
All of the hinges so stiff with rust
I always thought that I just wasn’t strong enough
Throw open the windows of my shuttered soul
Let the thunder and the rain and the breezes blow
We suffer from a wound, a wound called love
From some other victim or God above
It bleeds and it yearns, it festers and burns
And music is the closest thing I know to a cure
This vibration inside your throat
It travels the air as a heavenly note
I get this feeling deep in my bones
When I sing with you I feel less alone
The hotel lobby or the Grand Old Opry
I only want to sing the truth
I don’t care who’s listening out there
I only want to sing with you
Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
As I listen to this album more and more I start discover aspects that I hadn't felt before. My love for every individual track continues to grow, but Change has remained in my heart as a deep drive to get me through the day. seonghi
