    I don't normally watch Tiny Desk unless it's an artist I follow pretty closely, but I was bored and took a chance on this one, and h o l y s h i t. This was absolutely, completely, entirely _mesmerizing_ . I don't think I can recover. Sometimes you lose sight and forget where all the beauty in the world went, and then you watch something like this, and it helps you remember.
    They sound like mountain mist sleeping on winding roads and voices calling you home. More ears need to be blessed with this. And if you feel the same, share it with everyone and anyone you know. These are the kinds of artists the world needs to know about.

Three incredible musicians coming together to put out an album that feels like the definitive statement on the genre. I've been a huge fan of these musicians individually for a while, but even I didn't expect them to put an album this incredibly good.

    A little while ago I had my first major manic episode, and subsequently the worst depression I've ever felt. I literally lost my mind for a few months. My entire life fell apart. Nearly failed out of school. I had to quit drugs cold turkey. My therapist turned on me. Several friends backstabbed me. Nobody was there for me. My 22nd birthday came around around then and I was considering if I even wanted to live to see my 23rd.
    It was around this time I had Julien Baker's Sprained Ankle album.
    I soon after got recommended this video. I discovered Boygenius's other stuff.
    I am almost 24 now. I've never been better. I love my life and I'm so glad I didn't give up.
    And these amazing artists here are a huge reason why I'm still here.
    Julien, Phoebe, Lucy...I doubt you'll ever see this but...I owe you guys my life. Thank you.

    Souvenir:
    Dreamcatcher in the rearview mirror
    Hasn't caught a thing yet
    Twenty dollars in souvenirs
    Anything's worth trying
    To stay out of your nightmares
    Few hours in your dreams last night
    Always end up dying
    You said because of course I did
    Always managed to move in
    Right next to the cemeteries
    And never far from hospitals
    I don't know what that tells you about me
    Pulling thorns out of my palm
    Working midnight surgery
    When I cut a hole into my skull
    Do you hate what you see?
    Like I do
    Me & My Dog:
    We had a great day
    Even though we forgot to eat
    And you had a bad dream
    Then we got more sleep
    'Cause we were kissing
    I had a fever
    Until I met you
    Now you make me cool
    But sometimes I still do
    Something embarrassing
    I never said I'd be all right
    Just thought I can hold myself together
    But I couldn't breathe, I went outside
    Don't know why I thought it'd be any better
    I'm fine now, it doesn't matter
    I didn't wanna be this guy
    I cried at your show with the teenagers
    Tell your friend I'll be all right
    In the morning it won't matter
    I wanna be emaciated
    I wanna hear one song without thinking of you
    I wish I was on a spaceship
    Just me and my dog and an impossible view
    I dream about it
    And I wake up falling
    Ketchum ID:
    Back in the States now
    In a college town
    I would walk around
    But it's really coming down
    Mesmerized by double lines
    Two yellow tightropes
    I'm making good time
    I am never anywhere
    Anywhere I go
    When I'm home I'm never there
    Long enough to know
    Being in love is the same thing as being alone
    Giving the sorrow some company
    Nothing to say, stay on the phone
    And I'm sorry I do not know what else you want from me
    I am never anywhere
    Anywhere I go
    When I'm home I'm never there
    Long enough to know
    You say "How are you", I say "I don't know
    Let's dissolve the band, move to Idaho
    Everyone's around and I hear you smiling
    You say "I love you", I say "You, too"
    I am never anywhere
    Anywhere I go
    When I'm home I'm never there
    Long enough to know
    I am never anywhere
    Anywhere I go
    When I'm home I'm never there
    Long enough
