I agree with the sentiment that Julien comes off as a "one-man band." She sounds so complete on her own. I was lucky enough to see her solo at the Fairmount in Montreal. She was on stage, just her and her guitar, and the room was so silent you could've heard a pin drop. She's just so encapsulating and enrapturing all on her own.
these three are truly, individually and collectively, some of the most talented people i’ve ever come across musically. i don’t think enough people appreciate the complexity of their brains. anytime i listen to their music or listen to them talk, i feel like im witnessing history.
i always thought bite the hand was about a one sided relationship but hearing that it's about the one sided relationship between fans and artists makes it make 1000% more sense and I'm losing my mind. I love them 10x more now because they nailed that on the head. Wanting so badly to be friends with your favorite celebrity because you just think you'll click but it's just not meant to be. wow.
The Christian joke at 25:35 and Zane absolutely not getting it. Love them so so much. Also, hard relate to Lucy being obsessed with Li Young Lee and forgetting how pornographic his poems are until you go to read them outloud.
@@thevampiresliars I'm honestly not sure if I got it as well, but if I had to guess --- it might have something to do with the whole confession thing in vacation bible schools or on retreats. You know, that thing where they make you sit in a circle, someone starts playing solemn music, then you say what you want to whoever or whatever's up there.... and then people start crying. That's at least how I understood it, since I experienced it lmao Both Lucy and Julien were raised Christians (Lucy's irreligious, Julien I believe still is but somewhat agnostic, while Phoebe's atheist), they tackle religion pretty frequently in their music.
When I am grumpy and I need to smile I come back to this video and check 35:30 to see Lucy and Phoebe teasing JB about Powers. It just makes me smile so much!
The breath at the beginning of powers is my fav part of the rest I’m so glad they convinced julien to keep it in its soooo her and as a long time fan of julien first it was everything
i feel so lucky to be so influenced by them in being a young person bc i know what i learn from them and their music will always affect me bc i could listen to them examine things for hours and hours and the way that their song writing is intricate and their connection to us as fans and to each other it's just a wonderful to live in their era and to be impacted by them
Powers feels like you’ve reached the top of a mountain climb I think Julian and Zane were talking about the same thing. The finished product looks like an amazing feat that begs congratulatory praise, all the while the one who accomplished it is exhausted yet still triumphant, but it still so focused on the task at hand.
1) is there a better interviewer than zane lowe? 2) especially with such a long track record? 1)2) no. his longevity speaks for itself. the pure love artists have for him speaks for itself. the fact that he isn't just a long term music lover but an artist also, SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
I don’t know them and I’m happy I don’t ❤️ it let’s me as a listener find my own love for their art without using attachment to the artist play a role in that love.
Like the music, it's an emotional experience you feel like you're along on - well, because you are. It's deep and light at the same time. Good to be in this headspace. Cathartic to hear all of this as a musician myself.
I feel like the supergroup/solo career discussion is most interesting with boygenius cause when i think of supergroups i think typically people who were in wildly famous bands that then got together later in their career for a band that is comprised of super stars. But boygenius were pretty popular as individuals but not nearly as big as they are now that they have combined forces. Medium names got together and became bigger names and then split to do more solo, rather than super big careers that end and then new band is super group but theres no back and forth. It’s such a good twist for a modern era of music
I know so little about this place. You are very special to me. I relate to you in ways that I haven’t with many others since this has began. Normal, and connected, which I value more than anything else in this place. I couldn’t give you more profound thanks. Really, real and honest thank yous for your support when there wasn’t any elsewhere. You are beautiful, you are smart, you are talented and you are exactly good and preferable people in the absolute sense imo. And rock stars : ) of course. I don’t know what comes next but I know I continue on my struggle. I don’t know how but I know there are things still going on and that I should continue on in politics like I have as best as I can. There is nothing more I’d like to do than be in the company of people as caring as you, as cool and preferable as you because I know you would be there for me in important ways. Maybe one’s only people my age could help me with. But that is not what is on the table right now and I have to continue inwards in ways that are different than preferable. Different but ideal still in many ways. And I hope to make you proud, and I’ll see you soon and we’ll hang out! Love you all, sincerely Tim
i was so happy to here them mention Hanif, i love his writing so much, i feel like his reflections on music give me the words to understand why i love the art i do
The dates would make sense, they were in Halifax on the 22nd and 23rd so maybe visited the Brontë house while still in West Yorkshire before heading up to Edinburgh. I’ve been to the Brontë house myself, veryyyy strange vibes (it’s thought to be haunted lol), so I can understand how it caused an ‘off day’ 😅
I honestly dislike this interview, simply because of how much the interviewer straight up talks right over Julian Baker. She's a genius dude; you're not. Let her talk.
Zane invites interesting conversation but I can't help but feel he indulges himself too much in his interview style. He's always desperate to share his own anecdote, his own perspective, and he seems to hold his own opinion as gospel. It comes off as a bit presumptuous, and doesn't always bring the best out of his interviewees, IMO. Boygenius are incredible and super eloquent without needing it to be The Zayn show.
The interviewer is literally just rambling about his own thoughts and musings, barely asking coherent questions and when he does, he then answers for them. Needs to ask straight questions and then shut up talking. Your supposed to be interviewing a band not yourself
Every interview I'm more impressed with the way Julien talks and describes things..
When she described “the rest” as “adorned scaffolding” I ran to the comments to say exactly this. Her mind is unreal
She’s so cool
SHE USES SUCH BIG WORDS
Dude I feel like I could do a lyric analysis on every word she says
If this guy wasn’t interrupting her so much…
I could listen to them talk for hours. I would kill for them to have their own podcast 😭
MUNA has one so i would really love seeing one for them!
@@lillygonzalez4323yes! Lucy did one with them and it was amazing but we need the rest of the boys !!
YES PLEASE
They need to have a radio show
Saddest Factory is Phoebe's SiriusXm Show
OK BUT WHEN JULIEN SAID THEY WANT TO STAY NERVOUS FOREVER that is actually so precious... they always want it to matter.
I agree with the sentiment that Julien comes off as a "one-man band." She sounds so complete on her own. I was lucky enough to see her solo at the Fairmount in Montreal. She was on stage, just her and her guitar, and the room was so silent you could've heard a pin drop. She's just so encapsulating and enrapturing all on her own.
I love how Phoebe's speaking voice just keeps getting deeper and deeper, even while her singing gets better and better
these three are truly, individually and collectively, some of the most talented people i’ve ever come across musically. i don’t think enough people appreciate the complexity of their brains. anytime i listen to their music or listen to them talk, i feel like im witnessing history.
Witnessing history is exactly the feeling. It’s insane how talented these three are together.
They‘re all really intelligent and thoughtful but Julien impresses me the most, she‘s so well spoken and complex and abstract
I find her so annoying tbh.

Well I agree with everything but things changes and now it really seems that Julien and Lucy are dating
@@ale_mh7413 They weren't dating when bite the hand was written. Bite the hand was written about a complex relationship between fans
14:44 “and trying to be experts in their hearts” okay i need to lie down

I didn't get it either, could you explain it to me please? I'm kinda new here, does it have to do with the religious themes in Julien's music?

The most humble interview I’ve seen in a while
this is a phenomenal interview. the questions and how truly thought out they are really let’s all 3 of their minds shine
The interviewer is abysmal imo. Rambles way too much.
Which this dude wouldn't talk over Julien every time. Give Julien the space to finish the thought!
I need a weekly podcast with boygenius and zane
Juliens explanation to anything feels like a quote itself.
The close ups of julien where the microphone covers her face are giving me life
0:14 Lucy being valedictorian makes so much sense
yes because ofc she is
When I am grumpy and I need to smile I come back to this video and check 35:30 to see Lucy and Phoebe teasing JB about Powers. It just makes me smile so much!
this is my fave interview thank you zane lowe thank you apple music
listening to them in any form is such a gift i’m so thankful to be able to hear even just bit of their minds. they just get it
The breath at the beginning of powers is my fav part of the rest I’m so glad they convinced julien to keep it in its soooo her and as a long time fan of julien first it was everything
I wish these guys had a weekly podcast together
I have never watched an interview so attentively. love them so much
i feel so lucky to be so influenced by them in being a young person bc i know what i learn from them and their music will always affect me bc i could listen to them examine things for hours and hours and the way that their song writing is intricate and their connection to us as fans and to each other it's just a wonderful to live in their era and to be impacted by them
ENUNCIATE at 35:56 from phoebe is honestly how i listen to JB all the time. I love JB - sometimes i really can't understand lmao
Julien is so eloquent
Gosh... Phoebe's hair is such a beautiful color.. all of them well spoke
Learning how Powers came to be is incredible. The boys are insanely talented. Grateful to have ears.
Easily their best interview
a room full of my favourite people
Lucy's hair is soooo pretty, everything about everyone is pretty ❤❤❤
That's a great comment about Julian and how her music effects people. LOVE boygenius, and cannot wait to see them on stage.
new comfort interview
i just love julien. hope she's doing okay
I LOVE BOYGENIUS SO MUCH, I NEED TO GO TO THEIR CONCERTTTTT.
I want the 4 of them to have a podcast together
Zane has the time of his life with them❤
THEY NEED A PODCAST IM IN LOVE
there's just something so soothing listening to them speak
Powers feels like you’ve reached the top of a mountain climb
I think Julian and Zane were talking about the same thing. The finished product looks like an amazing feat that begs congratulatory praise, all the while the one who accomplished it is exhausted yet still triumphant, but it still so focused on the task at hand.
I agree 100% Poetry should be read. Depends on the poets one times, but MINE and the stuff I like should be READ, not even on a screen
You still hear the poem though, in your head
39:27 when phoebe says “no😌” 😭😭😭

literally crying I'm too excited to watch this!

THANK YOU ZANE LOWE YOU GORGEOUS BEAUTIFUL MAN
i love them. the record made me feel things - like sadness and a warm hug from them. lol
absolutely mesmerized by phoebe's arms
With the black outfit, the cross, the hair and the hand tattoos, Julien Baker is the spitting image of Ozzy Osbourne in this interview lol
God. I love them all so much.
MY BOYSSS🎉❤❤
Julien Baker has a style of speaking poetically and waxing lyrically.

27:00 this is mind blowing and now obvious
Powers is the best song on The rest ❤JB❤
Bro you’ve GOT to stop interrupting them. My god.
Came to find this
Be honest be careful be thoughtful with your thoughtfulness thanks Lucy Dacus I'll take that one buddy
i think poems being read and poems being spoken are so different and a lot of the time people write to fit one of those rather than the other but idk
i love them so much no one will ever understabd
I am so obsessed with them!
Oh my god I didn’t even know their was an EP til now !!!!
quite unrelated but i need them to tour in aus
no one understands how much they mean to me
i do i promise.
Love that you have my friends on here Zane!
julien is so intelligent jesus christ
I am not ready for this tour to end :(((

Ps if I stopped at your doorstep I would probably fall in love with you, and of you, and that would be that when there’s still all that other stuff
Ready now…I’m hit go trot baebae!!
Why does he not let them finish their thoughs omfg
literally someone put this man on mute until they have finished their sentences
I wish one of them said "YOUR TURN.."
Wow came here to say this
its weird cuz he's normally a great interviewer but he always does way too much when it comes to boygenius, i think he wants to be in the band lmao
He was all over the shop with his musings. He was answering his own questions or thoughts.
loved this
god i love the boys
Now everyone go listen to Hanif read a poem
yes everyone go see hanif and julien's collab at eau claire
i was so happy to here them mention Hanif, i love his writing so much, i feel like his reflections on music give me the words to understand why i love the art i do
not zane having the same favorite lyrics as me
I need Julien in the middle pleeeeeaaaas
they are so amazing
been waiting for this one ;)
Oh my god PLEASE STOP INTERRUPTING THEMMMMMM
the way zane literally understands me is lowkey scary
I hate that he interrupts them so much.
CRYINGGG
THE OFF DAY HADDD TO HAVE BEEN THE CONNECT FEST DAY,, IVE BEEN SAYING THEIR ENERGY WAS OFF I THOUGHT THEY ARGUED BEFORE IT LMAO
The dates would make sense, they were in Halifax on the 22nd and 23rd so maybe visited the Brontë house while still in West Yorkshire before heading up to Edinburgh. I’ve been to the Brontë house myself, veryyyy strange vibes (it’s thought to be haunted lol), so I can understand how it caused an ‘off day’ 😅
I’ve just seen someone on tiktok say it was actually the second Halifax date bc they talked about it at the show apparently!
BROOO THE LITTLE ONE USES BIG WORDSS
I loved them talking over the guitar I wish that was the whole interview
i love them
I honestly dislike this interview, simply because of how much the interviewer straight up talks right over Julian Baker. She's a genius dude; you're not. Let her talk.
someone needs to ask them if they are ever going to release boyfriends. i was expecting to see it in the rest's tracklist so bad
26:53 go girl
Can you please please pretty please do a show in the NL that's not on a festival? And just tell me (and no one else)?
25:35 GOT MEEEEEE
The “teehee” at about 18:21 took me out
BOOOYGEIUD
At the beginning, were they talking about the Brontë parsonage museum?
Zane siendo fan, me siento comprendida
That was a great video man 💪 ❤✌️ ☮️ ❤🫂🦁…. Peace and love

Omg I wrote this comment BEFORE I got to the part where he gets his guitar out. FFS 😅
INTERNATIONAL LATAM DATES WHEN??????????
