I love the slight melody adjustment on this one -- don't know if Julien was having a hard time with the high notes on this particular day or just felt like doing something different but I think it's really gorgeous, whatever inspired it. (Also, the "they" for God made me smile.)
Now I see where the new and upcoming great songwriters and musicians are coming from. They're sure as hell not on top 40 stations. And some people complain that today's musicians are crap, that all the great musicians are from yesteryear. Simply not true, one needs to know where to look for them. It may be that major labels wouldn't give a hoot for a young great artist like this one, and that is a terrible waste, but I'm glad they're being heard on programs like this. Maybe it's true that, as Joni Mitchell said, the major labels don't care about talent today but I'm glad that these artists are out there, and being heard.
If you're new to Julien Baker you should also check out "boygenius", her project with Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus. And check out each of those women as solo artists as well. All three talented performers.
She is “AMAZING!” Her voice reminds me of a young Heather Nova. I wish she would cover the Mazzy Star song “Five String Serenade.” She would do an amazing job on that song.

There's plenty of great songwriting on top 40 stations. It may be the packaging that you don't care for
She's perfect
Julien is a legend. Great video.
