This is why love is a commitment, it is something that takes constant work. People that only stay for the fire of loves beginnings will never know deep love as it becomes red hot embers.
That is commonly believed both by codependent silly noncommital romantic movie lovers and conservative religious people focused on duty regardless of happiness (also often codependent) Both are wrong. It is NOT loving,not kind,not respectful to stay with someone if you do not love them the way they want and need to be loved. You can keep the other person from having that love by pretending out of duty. If you truly love someone,you will not require a selfish oath to stay w you until death. That is possession. If you have real love for someone, you would want the person to be truly happy, to be their true selves, to follow their dreams and be loved by someone who offers more than codependence, obligation or duty. Even if it is not with you. That is love.
The superficial always steal the limelight. But the world is becoming increasingly more attuned to depth and less interested in shallow materialistic crap, so I think it's the right time for an artist like Julia.
I listened to this song a LOT in the last year of my dying long term relationship. The end was inevitable and I felt powerless to stop it. This was a great comfort to me during that time, and now that she's gone.
how did you find comfort in it? I find this harrowing and ripping my heart to shreds tetering on a panic attack. Im in limbo with my 4 1/2 yr relationship and im not sure i can walk away or if i can even stay. Im drowning in my own confusion and indecisiveness. Were you able to move on? Im so affraid.
I’m super high right now. I feel like I’m IN the song and I’m rolling around in a beautiful garden on a sunny day but I can see dark clouds on the horizon. The disappointment of love. Damn.
Just heard this song for the first time and I usually don’t say this after only hearing a song once but that was a 10/10 and the best song I’ve heard in awhile.
I wanna watch you I wanna stay like this I wanna feel it all Every time that we kiss I want your mother To stay friends with mine I want this feeling To pass in time But you know my body now And I know yours We put so many things Between these walls And every gift you buy me I know what's inside What do I do now? There’s nothing left to find [Chorus] Don't know how to keep loving you Now that I know you so well Don't know how to keep loving you Now that I know you so well Don’t know how to keep loving you Now that I know you so well Don't know how to keep loving you [Verse 2] What if I cleaned up? What if I worked on my skin? I could scrub until I am red, hot, weak and thin Too tired to run away What do I do now? There's nothing left to say [Chorus] Don't know how to keep loving you Now that I know you so well Don't know how to keep loving you Now that I know you so well Don't know how to keep loving you Now that I know you so well Don't know how to keep loving you [Verse 3] Into the darkness Or is it the light? Should I be waking up Or finding a place to sleep tonight? Who will I be Now that you're no longer next to me?
It's weird how I first heard this song in 2019 going through one of my most toxic relationships, and the tone and lyrics matched how I felt to a tee. Two years later in a healthy year long relationship where I've been the happiest I've been, this song pops up. Kinda a reminder how far ive come
Yahtzee! Right? As impressive as everything else, he vocal / mic control is off the charts! To get that sound with a dynamic mic in that setting... it is almost unbelievable.
“Don’t know how to keep loving you now that I know you so well” made me think of how can I love myself when I know took much about me to do that... like shit
@@justpettet3506 fuck you. he is not responsible for her mental issues. she needs to want to help herself. in no way is anybody required to stay with a partner like that. i am sure he went through a lot of shit and deserves to be free of this, so fuck you again for saying shit like that to him
[Verse 1] I wanna want you, I wanna stay here like this I wanna feel it all every time that we kiss I want your mother to stay friends with mine I want this feeling to pass in time But you know my body now and I know yours We put so many things between these walls And every gift you buy me, I know what's inside What do I do now?

Every time I listen to this beautiful heartbreak of a song, it reminds me of The Black Keys’ Things Ain’t Like They Used to Be. They pair well together.
I have so much to say! 1) I love the simplicity of her style 2) I LOVE this Joni Mitchell vibe thing 3) these lyrics are hitting my soul so hard after 10 years of marriage finding out I built a life with a stranger
I've listened and loved this version of this song so many times, but tonight I feel the urge to point out that however beautiful and poignant that snare is, the bass guitar is keeping everything together in the most glorious way. Everything is held together in those deep tones, supporting and undergirding the whole. In a song that is about uncertainty, that bass is giving us all something to hold onto. Precise, resonant, supporting without obscuring. Gorgeous.
You hear commercial music on the radio, on repeat, and NONE of it gets through to you for whatever reason: too shallow, too superficial. All about materialism. Then you hear this Obscure, gorgeous, ethereal Australian artist by the name of Julia Jacklin and you never look back. Beautiful.
Around the time youtube algorithmed this to me after somehow reading my wife's handwritten note on the computer desk, I wrote this poem about the most extreme pain I've ever felt. *Bottle Caps and White Walls* The door is open and it's getting colder The warmth of this home bleeds from the bedroom The curtains are drawn while the ghosts grow older It all happened here in this bed, now a tomb That cat we raised after wedding was mean It bit us hard and never would sit in our laps But we loved him anyway and we'd buy him things Though, he was strange and only ever wanted his bottle caps He'd bat them around for hours in the night Lose some here and hide some there He loved only his caps and us he'd bite Sometimes, when crying one would try to hold him, but even then he didn't care One day, too early, he became sick and passed Thought he was just sleeping but luck like that never came around here There was a stake between us that was growing fast And the sickness in our bones was wetter than any tear Some months passed and the driest July came Believe me when I say, an empty room wouldn't look so big if you had an empty heart The fear and chills arrived right on time But seeing those walls so desolate, you soon realize wasn't the start Falling down and driving fast, control is lost on time that's passed Money's spent on drunken logic, a spine is bent on sunken magic When she eventually returned for a formal goodbye Words could barely be spoken past a tight throat without choking Though it was a lie, you'd say you agreed it was right And let rest the end of those years, without letting too many weak lies be spoken She cried and you cried, but without hate it hurt more But then from no where, you remember the night before she had come In search of clues, you pulled the washer from its corner Behind it, beneath papers, laid a mass of bottle caps, so many more than just the some Before she walks out, you let it burst from your heart She hesitates, then squeals into tears, and you wonder why you had to say it To hear her pain relived rips your core apart You apologize and agonize and regret that it was spit But she stops, looks up and says no it's okay Says she would have cried no matter what you would've said You stare back now, not knowing what the hell to say She says you could have said the walls are white and her heart still would have bled She leaves and the door is closed, and for a second you swear you can hear her stop to turn around But that is only a thing that happens in the movies Your heartbeat is loud and there's no other sound And you look at the spot on the floor where he wasn't just sleeping And you feel that dead spot in your stomach start creeping Til you drop and you're weeping And the bottle caps start speaking And the walls, they are white They are white They are white
That is poetry. I love how the hidden bottle caps came to have meaning at the end. encompasses the pain that heartache creates after feeling such an intense love for another person. Was it all worth it all worth it in the end if it resulted in pain? I tell myself that it is better that I have never known that kind of connection to a woman when it could easily all end in the most hurt I can ever feel. Your poem refelcts on that.
I’ve send this song to someone that I felt in love with 3 years ago. We stopped talking in December 20. Now I look through the comments hoping to find a message saying that he misses me as much as I miss him. There wasn’t any... How to keep loving you? When nothing inspiring comes from you...
Especially in this song... Her voice f#ckin melts me! 🤷♂️ Absolutely beautiful! I've heard some beautiful female singers live, but I'd love to hear her voice live ASAP! 😭
this song is how everyone feels when you've experienced relationships that have hit heartache moments. this song hits me in the feels everytime i hear it. but also reminds me to keep moving forward and not to expend energy of saddness and failed expectations. im happy to admit im more reserved and less expectant of things now ive got older. hindsight is a blessing but no regrets having to experience heartbreak in many forms. big love and well wishes to everyone! remember pain and saddness is temporary. your the master of your self awareness how ever hard things get.
Saw her at Brooklyn Steel last year open up for First Aid Kit and couldn't believe just how as an opener she just owned the crowd. Going again later this month. She's really to be seen to be believed. And that drummer, not only is he disciplined but you won't be able to take your eyes off of him either. She's going to be good for a long time.
This song makes me feel like I’ve fallen out of love and I don’t know how to move on without hurting the other person. It’s like the feeling of falling out of love and thinking about what was
Jesus. When this song hits it hits. It's different being the person that one would be singing this about, and being able to see so clearly how that person feels
This is probably my most viewed video on UA-cam. I literally can not stop playing it. It’s better then the version on the record in my opinion but regardless her whole album is incredible
I haven’t heard this song in 4 / 5 years and this is the first time I’m hearing it since and it’s still mind blowing like the first time I heard it. And that is what timeless songs do. They make an impact that lasts.
Sometimes I think to myself e that there must be so much beatiful songs around there that I don’t know and I hope in course of my life I will found a lot of them and today I found.. one of them
from the first drum beat to the final guitar chord this is perfection. As I wiped away the tear falling from my cheek that solo allowed me to breathe again. Julia Jacklin - you have a new fan!
i heard this for the very first time in the car with my mom when i was 13 and it changed me so deeply, thank you julia for writing it and playing it so beautifully
Saw her and this fantastic band at Pickathon this summer. Had the crowd completely under a spell during both her sets; from silently reflective and teary-eyed, to dancing and giving standing ovations. Powerful performer.
I remember last year before this record came out I came to see her and Paul Dempsey talking about song writing at the Melbourne Writer's Festival. They played a few songs and I think she even played this one by herself, this was a long while before the record came out so my memory is a bit foggy. I sat right in front of them, about a meter away, and it was the best 20 dollar ticket I could imagine.
This song, and more so, this version, is something else. The music is like a weighted blanket that just pins you down with an assortment of emotions, some of which are so quick to bog you down, that you are left with no choice but to let the track take over, while you lie down and reflect on what it triggers within - an inexplicable sense of agony, garnished with the most pompous glee.
Her voice evoques every raw feeling lingering for years in the darkest corners of the soul ✨️.. only to be exorcized by the mind-blowing guitar riffs!❤
I keep coming back to this live performance, so raw and real, as humans, we tend to lie to ourselves so well that becomes easier to lie to others and idealize our partners and relationships. This song describes it marvellously.
Jeez, Ms. Jacklin, way to plunge me into a pit of radiant despair. Time to blast this, drink too much wine, and think of all the rueful things in my life. Also, beautiful job. Thanks for a tremendous song.
I can't stop listening to this song - specifically this performance - it's perfect.
Welcome to the Cult. This is how we dress: i.pinimg.com/originals/b2/b8/c8/b2b8c8e4881560f69bf91af2d4d50ef7.jpg
Very raw and very real. Weird how songs can find you once you’re ready to feel them
MrThatoneplatypus I say this all the time
TRU
damn thats poetic
Spoken like a true PR Flack.
so fucking true
That snare is deeper than a wound from unrequited love.
oof
👏😢
Deeper than the Mariana Trench.
sounds great
snare lower than a club owner
This song lasts for exactly as long as it takes me to calmly and dutifully smoke a cigarette and reflect on love's disappointments.
this is definitely my cigarette smoking song
Yep. 100% true
I love you
I havent smoked a cig in two years and I want one just by listening to this lmao
I recommend smoking an herb instead
Falling out of love with someone is just as real as falling in love....
Beth Errington because Love itself is so real. So real
Beth Errington that is beautiful
Do you know the song Let it Did by Feist? Your sentiment reminds me of it
wtf does this even mean
John Pineapple hopefully you never have to find out.
I’m pretty sure she’s a siren. Her voice is so haunting... I’m positive it’s drawn lovesick sailors to the depths of the sea.
She is a Siren from the depths of the Earth's soul.
i guess love songs are sirens in themselves
Thats not very nice!
sirens drew sailors to the shore, away from the sea
No she is not, you can clearly see she is a human being, please look for therapy
Jesus, this is better than the studio version
I think it's miles better!
Saw her live a few weeks ago, I had chills down my spine.
Right?!!
Yes, shes great on record, transcendent live
This is the definitive version!
It is tradition to revisit this performance every few months.
CERTIFIED HOOD CLASSIC!
Yes!!
Yes !!@@Unbronzed_Aussie_Laura
This is why love is a commitment, it is something that takes constant work. People that only stay for the fire of loves beginnings will never know deep love as it becomes red hot embers.
Hot Damn!

@@kr4382 agree with my whole heart !
Wow, now I love you!
Beautifully said
How can a song perfectly describe a love that's not meant to be
I totally understand why this version has more views than the official video.
Holy crap that was AMAZING. She has this voice that just....pulls you in and doesn't let go. I'm floored
Underrated is such an over used term but I genuinely believe Julia is one of the most underrated musicians around today.
I have to agree. Her voice makes me melt every single time. Cant wait to see her live again now.
The superficial always steal the limelight. But the world is becoming increasingly more attuned to depth and less interested in shallow materialistic crap, so I think it's the right time for an artist like Julia.
bigtux11 thanks for the hopeful comment. It's refreshing.
Dude her voice is so consistent. Go to any live performance by her and you'll see that there is little to no variation in her performances!
Hopefully this kind of music become popular again soon. If it was the 60s-90s I bet she would be way more famous
I listened to this song a LOT in the last year of my dying long term relationship. The end was inevitable and I felt powerless to stop it. This was a great comfort to me during that time, and now that she's gone.
I'm so sorry for your loss ❤️
same here :( hope you're doing better now

@@farmermike9262what happened in the end Mike? I hope you’re well x
I’m super high right now. I feel like I’m IN the song and I’m rolling around in a beautiful garden on a sunny day but I can see dark clouds on the horizon. The disappointment of love. Damn.
Awww man I miss getting high.lol
lovely
Sounds beautiful
She doesn't just sing this song, she means it. It's as real as it can get. Beautiful!
Any bumps for the sound guy? (super crisp)
oh hell yes!
yes, the sound is audio-phile.
Terrible distortion on almost everything, the vocal is incredible though
@@stuarticusrobinson9319 the sound guy most likely didn't choose the guitar tones...
@@KaninTuzi I play guitar myself, that's not what I'm referring to. You can hear it or you can't I guess.
Just heard this song for the first time and I usually don’t say this after only hearing a song once but that was a 10/10 and the best song I’ve heard in awhile.
Poignant, troubled, restrained. There's so much to feel here.
Damn that must be the most disciplined drummer in the history of pop music ;)
but... this isnt pop
@@mmogg4045 it doesn't matter
He would impress even Terence Fletcher.
Yeah man, he played with Andy Shauf years ago. For sure worth checking out. Restraint in a drummer is always fun to watch. Just so freaking tasteful.
Drummer Ian Kehoe! So good, delicate and rapt in attention
My heart's just been pureed in a blender and now I'm utterly speechless.
I wanna watch you
I wanna stay like this
I wanna feel it all
Every time that we kiss
I want your mother
To stay friends with mine
I want this feeling
To pass in time
But you know my body now
And I know yours
We put so many things
Between these walls
And every gift you buy me
I know what's inside
What do I do now?
There’s nothing left to find
[Chorus]
Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don’t know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don't know how to keep loving you
[Verse 2]
What if I cleaned up?
What if I worked on my skin?
I could scrub until
I am red, hot, weak and thin
Too tired to run away
What do I do now?
There's nothing left to say
[Chorus]
Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don't know how to keep loving you
[Verse 3]
Into the darkness
Or is it the light?
Should I be waking up
Or finding a place to sleep tonight?
Who will I be
Now that you're no longer next to me?
Til I'm red, hot, weak and thin*
I wanna feel it all
every time that we kiss*
Holland thank you!!!
Forgot final chorus, where she adds "I wanna keep loving you"
Reading the lyrics while listening to the song make it so much better ❤
UA-cam has been recommending this video to me for years and I'm so glad I finally clicked on it. This is a masterpiece
I've seen this so many times now and please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks she looks like Paris from Gilmore Girls??!!
I honestly thought it was her
Omg wow she does
I see it!
Oh shit, now I can't unsee this...
Well, I'm just happy Paris kinda redeemed herself at the end of it all.
stephen pfrimmer that’s a telecaster

How does she make it through this song without crying?
she rocks it cold hearted
"Sometimes pain runs out of tears" to quote my self lol
She does it for us
You have to wonder...
Because she's making a performance you f****** retard it's a beautiful song of course but one that she has performed many times
“Don’t know how to keep loving you now that I know you so well” made me think of how can I love myself when I know took much about me to do that... like shit
Can’t count how many times I keep coming back too listen to this unreal performance!! Brings me to tears every time!!
Just broke up with my girlfriend massive alcoholic this song hit me hard I can't stop crying.
yye rough, r you the alco or them?
asshole. you should have tried to help instead of hurting them more.
@@justpettet3506 fuck you. he is not responsible for her mental issues. she needs to want to help herself. in no way is anybody required to stay with a partner like that. i am sure he went through a lot of shit and deserves to be free of this, so fuck you again for saying shit like that to him
STFU support is okay..
Dating someone with an addiction is incredibly difficult; I’ve been there. You’re not a bad person for walking away. Your wellness matters too.
I don't know how to describe how I feel about Julia's voice. No words are good enough.
[Verse 1]
I wanna want you, I wanna stay here like this
I wanna feel it all every time that we kiss

There should be a love button.
Its called a clitoris.
@@andreapapapostolou1029 Haha, I'm not sure Julia would appreciate it so well if I went pushing HER love button to show appreciation, though.
Serious question: Is this the best live performance ever?
I’m thinking yes
Maybe best live performance of this song
YES
No
If it isn't, it's certainly up there. Those vocals are damned perfect
It's just shocking sometimes...when things aren't what you thought they were.
Dejah Thoris yeah for sure
its hurtful
do you mean the song or the lyrics...i didnt expect both
Yeah it fucking is :/ hh.
So true 😔
Every time I listen to this beautiful heartbreak of a song, it reminds me of The Black Keys’ Things Ain’t Like They Used to Be. They pair well together.
The lyrics and delivery of the chorus are so powerful that it doesn’t matter how many times she repeats it, it still has the same punch.
When words & sounds describe the most deepest & painful feelings you’ve ever felt…
Jesus, this is absolutely haunting in the best possible way.
I have so much to say!
1) I love the simplicity of her style
2) I LOVE this Joni Mitchell vibe thing
3) these lyrics are hitting my soul so hard after 10 years of marriage finding out I built a life with a stranger
try 40
What a beautiful silky flawless voice. Love it...
This song oh God, I'm always coming back to listen to it
Came back🤍
Strange how my eyes start watering when she sings

i dont remember asking
I have cried every time that I have heard this.
I keep coming back to this song. Extremely powerful. Thank you Julia Jacklin.

Around the time youtube algorithmed this to me after somehow reading my wife's handwritten note on the computer desk, I wrote this poem about the most extreme pain I've ever felt.
*Bottle Caps and White Walls*
The door is open and it's getting colder
The warmth of this home bleeds from the bedroom
The curtains are drawn while the ghosts grow older
It all happened here in this bed, now a tomb
That cat we raised after wedding was mean
It bit us hard and never would sit in our laps
But we loved him anyway and we'd buy him things
Though, he was strange and only ever wanted his bottle caps
He'd bat them around for hours in the night
Lose some here and hide some there
He loved only his caps and us he'd bite
Sometimes, when crying one would try to hold him, but even then he didn't care
One day, too early, he became sick and passed
Thought he was just sleeping but luck like that never came around here
There was a stake between us that was growing fast
And the sickness in our bones was wetter than any tear
Some months passed and the driest July came
Believe me when I say, an empty room wouldn't look so big if you had an empty heart
The fear and chills arrived right on time
But seeing those walls so desolate, you soon realize wasn't the start
Falling down and driving fast, control is lost on time that's passed
Money's spent on drunken logic, a spine is bent on sunken magic
When she eventually returned for a formal goodbye
Words could barely be spoken past a tight throat without choking
Though it was a lie, you'd say you agreed it was right
And let rest the end of those years, without letting too many weak lies be spoken
She cried and you cried, but without hate it hurt more
But then from no where, you remember the night before she had come
In search of clues, you pulled the washer from its corner
Behind it, beneath papers, laid a mass of bottle caps, so many more than just the some
Before she walks out, you let it burst from your heart
She hesitates, then squeals into tears, and you wonder why you had to say it
To hear her pain relived rips your core apart
You apologize and agonize and regret that it was spit
But she stops, looks up and says no it's okay
Says she would have cried no matter what you would've said
You stare back now, not knowing what the hell to say
She says you could have said the walls are white and her heart still would have bled
She leaves and the door is closed, and for a second you swear you can hear her stop to turn around
But that is only a thing that happens in the movies
Your heartbeat is loud and there's no other sound
And you look at the spot on the floor where he wasn't just sleeping
And you feel that dead spot in your stomach start creeping
Til you drop and you're weeping
And the bottle caps start speaking
And the walls, they are white
They are white
They are white
Detourist 💔
💔 I hope your in a better place now.
This brought me back to an old relationship that ended and it absolutely broke me. The most beautiful thing I’ve ever read, thank you
That is poetry. I love how the hidden bottle caps came to have meaning at the end. encompasses the pain that heartache creates after feeling such an intense love for another person. Was it all worth it all worth it in the end if it resulted in pain? I tell myself that it is better that I have never known that kind of connection to a woman when it could easily all end in the most hurt I can ever feel. Your poem refelcts on that.
Wow, that was really good dude. Reminds me of La Dispute lyrics, look them up, maybe you’d be into them
She sings so effortlessly. What a talent. This song is breaking me into pieces and then putting be back together.
So glad I stumbled upon this gem.
A flick of my thumb, a rabbit hole I stumbled down, or, maybe fate led me to this song. It is a beautiful depiction ❤. Thank you
I had this on repeat for three/four times in a row last night. Ethereal
I feel like this song is making love to me while crying, believe me I don't even know what that means but it's the only way I can express it
Öha burada da sen djslslsppdpspspr

I’ve send this song to someone that I felt in love with 3 years ago.
We stopped talking in December 20.
Now I look through the comments hoping to find a message saying that he misses me as much as I miss him.
There wasn’t any... How to keep loving you? When nothing inspiring comes from you...
That’s sad.
I hope you’re alright.
Especially in this song... Her voice f#ckin melts me! 🤷♂️ Absolutely beautiful! I've heard some beautiful female singers live, but I'd love to hear her voice live ASAP! 😭
this song is how everyone feels when you've experienced relationships that have hit heartache moments. this song hits me in the feels everytime i hear it. but also reminds me to keep moving forward and not to expend energy of saddness and failed expectations. im happy to admit im more reserved and less expectant of things now ive got older. hindsight is a blessing but no regrets having to experience heartbreak in many forms. big love and well wishes to everyone! remember pain and saddness is temporary. your the master of your self awareness how ever hard things get.
cheers for sharing. going through ione of those heartache moments now, but i feel known, comforted, and hopeful reading your comment.
"Going Into the darkness or the light" hits deep for me. How to know how life is going to be like after everything.
Saw her at Brooklyn Steel last year open up for First Aid Kit and couldn't believe just how as an opener she just owned the crowd. Going again later this month. She's really to be seen to be believed. And that drummer, not only is he disciplined but you won't be able to take your eyes off of him either. She's going to be good for a long time.
This song makes me feel like I’ve fallen out of love and I don’t know how to move on without hurting the other person. It’s like the feeling of falling out of love and thinking about what was
Perfect.
Jesus. When this song hits it hits. It's different being the person that one would be singing this about, and being able to see so clearly how that person feels
This went surprisingly well with a kung fu movie that was playing silently on the TV just now
Haha, epic
😅
Movie name ?
This is why I love music.
This is probably my most viewed video on UA-cam. I literally can not stop playing it. It’s better then the version on the record in my opinion but regardless her whole album is incredible
this sounds *way* better than the studio version
Solo guitar tone was EPIC
Whoa this looks like it was filmed in 1994. Very nostalgic
Best sound I have ever heard in a UA-cam video hands down...excellent job by the sound engineer (Bob Mallory, thanks description!), like holy fudge
Try the kexp set....
Also try NPR tiny desk series
Damn that guitarist got some sweet moves
What moves?
This has been and always will be my favourite song.
The paradox of love is that the longer you stay in it the harder it is to do.
when she sings the first line wow goosebumps 😢
I haven’t heard this song in 4 / 5 years and this is the first time I’m hearing it since and it’s still mind blowing like the first time I heard it.
And that is what timeless songs do. They make an impact that lasts.
I’ve had this song on repeat for the past 4 hours
I have returned... time to listen to this for 6 hours
Sometimes I think to myself e that there must be so much beatiful songs around there that I don’t know and I hope in course of my life I will found a lot of them and today I found.. one of them
This gotta be the finest live version of any song I’ve ever heard. Incredible!
Her voice is perfection💫
from the first drum beat to the final guitar chord this is perfection. As I wiped away the tear falling from my cheek that solo allowed me to breathe again.
Julia Jacklin - you have a new fan!
Sometimes UA-cam's recommendations are amazing. Just clicked on it and my store plays this all the time, but I never knew what it was.
I consider this to be the greatest live performance, of any song, ever.
this is what songwriting is all about .
Can't
Stop
Listening
To
You
Julia
i heard this for the very first time in the car with my mom when i was 13 and it changed me so deeply, thank you julia for writing it and playing it so beautifully
As soon as her voice hits it strikes my soul and then I just wantt to be hanging out with her. Such a beautiful Angel ❤
Don't know how to stop listening to this.
Saw her and this fantastic band at Pickathon this summer. Had the crowd completely under a spell during both her sets; from silently reflective and teary-eyed, to dancing and giving standing ovations. Powerful performer.
I heard this song at a restaurant yesterday, looked it up on Shazam, and have listened to it a couple dozen times since then.
You gotta hear the whole record, my friend. Especially 'Body'.
The second the song started I burst into tears. Thank you. I have been closing off for the longest time. I needed this.
I hope she realizes that this is one of the best love performances of this format ever.
I remember last year before this record came out I came to see her and Paul Dempsey talking about song writing at the Melbourne Writer's Festival. They played a few songs and I think she even played this one by herself, this was a long while before the record came out so my memory is a bit foggy. I sat right in front of them, about a meter away, and it was the best 20 dollar ticket I could imagine.
right on
Her voice and vulnerability! Simply beautiful ☺️
She sings exactly about what i'm going through right in the very now.
Thank you Julia.
I’ll always love this song
This song, and more so, this version, is something else. The music is like a weighted blanket that just pins you down with an assortment of emotions, some of which are so quick to bog you down, that you are left with no choice but to let the track take over, while you lie down and reflect on what it triggers within - an inexplicable sense of agony, garnished with the most pompous glee.
Her voice evoques every raw feeling lingering for years in the darkest corners of the soul ✨️.. only to be exorcized by the mind-blowing guitar riffs!❤
Amazing song. She completely unleashed something toward the end. So emotional, holy cow. I think the lead guitar has been listening to Built to Spill.
Larry Chüper I actually thought the same thing the first time I heard the song.
I prefer this version to the one on the album. Or maybe it's because i listened to this a lot, before the album release.
SAME. and also it feels richer
I keep coming back to this live performance, so raw and real, as humans, we tend to lie to ourselves so well that becomes easier to lie to others and idealize our partners and relationships. This song describes it marvellously.
Played on repeat all morning xxx touched my soul xxx🥰🙏👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐🙏❤
This song should've been in the soundtrack of the movie "Blue Valentine"
Too late
Saddest movie
So so effing true
Jeez, Ms. Jacklin, way to plunge me into a pit of radiant despair. Time to blast this, drink too much wine, and think of all the rueful things in my life.
Also, beautiful job. Thanks for a tremendous song.
