    As an engineering student with depression, the line "is there any chance you made a mistake" is funny to me.

    I would've NEVER thought the word "electrician" could be said so beautifully

    I was thinking about the quiet crowd, and how a lot of us are as meek and mild as her, just sitting here watching her say all the things we wish we were smart enough to say about ourselves. And that leaves us so dumbfounded, we're even quieter than what is our average...

      I was in the second row. We were singing our lungs out! Except for new ones like this one. My mouth was hanging wide open in amazement during this.

      i was at her concert in munich and it was so quite the whole time that at the end of one of her Songs a guy snezed and it felt so loud that everyone broke out in laughter

      I think it's courage more than being "smart enough." I think it takes drive, courage, and obviously talent to want to live that life, be on stage, tour, etc. Behind vulnerability there is a great strength, which you can hear in Julien's voice.

      I believe it certainly is both. Most of what I meant is the ability to decipher one's own thoughts and sort out what you're really feeling, and then being able to articulate it as effectively as she does. There's a massive amount of courage that it takes to not only arrive at such honest conclusions, but then another level to refine and regularly deliver them to an audience. Thanks for your reply, it helped me think through this thought more broadly.

    If I could do what I want
    I would become an electrician
    I'd climb inside my ears
    And I would rearrange the wires in my brain
    A different me would be inhabiting this body
    I'd have two cars, a garage, a job
    And I would go to church on Sunday
    A diagram of faulty circuitry
    Explains how I was made
    And now the engineer is listening
    As I voice all my complaints
    From an orchestra of shaking metal keeping me awake
    I was just wondering if there's any way that you made a mistake
    Because I miss you the way that I miss nicotine
    If it makes me feel better, how bad could it be?
    Well I heard there's a fix for everything
    Then why, then why, then why
    Then why not me?
    The 1st of April saw the sickening repair
    Wore my best shirt to the clinic decorated with a laminate name
    No one is laughing from an audience of folding plastic chairs
    And I'm not fooled when you tell me that you're glad I came
    Am I honest to admit or just a hypocrite?
    I know I should be being optimistic but I'm doubtful I can change
    Grit my teeth and try to act deserving
    When I know there is nowhere I can hide
    From your humiliating grace
    Because if you swear that it's true
    Then I have to believe
    What I hear evangelicals say on TV
    And if there's enough left after everyone else
    Then why, then why, then why
    God why not me?

    Julien is one of the most beautiful beings I've ever seen, her music is heart wrenching and I break right down with her when she plays her songs... She has made a huge impact on me, I found her music only a couple of years ago but god I wish I'd knew her sooner... God bless you Julien, may you succeed and find happiness and bliss in everything you do in life, you are incredible, you really are

    i discovered julien on npr yesterday afternoon and have since watched every single video of her on youtube and downloaded every song that she has released. i can't wait to download this song and album as well- she is so fantastic

    • @JulienDestange
      @JulienDestange 7 років тому +2

      Don't forget to buy the album whenever you can (on her bandcamp). It's important to keep our beloved musicians alive :)

    • @adiakolb11
      @adiakolb11 7 років тому +1

      Julien Destange i bought it from itunes! is bandcamp more beneficial for her? sorry, i'm not sure how that stuff works

    • @JulienDestange
      @JulienDestange 7 років тому +6

      Quote : "Bandcamp’s payout model is one of its most lauded features. Known for paying artists a hefty profit and cutting out the middleman, Bandcamp collects 15% of digital sales. Compared to Spotify’s comparatively petty payout of less than a PENNY per stream, Bandcamp is a much more profitable option for artists who want to sell directly to fans."
      Spotify and other streaming-music plateform will kill all the not-enough-famous musicians at long-term.
      Buy directly from the artists you love as often as you can and go to gigs :)
      I saw her three day ago in Germany. I bought her T-shirt and her new 2 track-vinyl, because I want her to keep touring and recording a new album ^^

    www.dropbox.com/sh/4lx9kz1bkah50fy/AACyPtt9rDXxGG4VDFmOD_bva?dl=0 Julien's full show at Calvin was recorded and posted by someone (not me) online. The original link has since been removed, so I created a new place for it. I know I was so happy to find it, so I figured others would love it as well! Totally safe, truly :)
