phoebe's verse never fails to make me cry. there's something about her voice that's so raw and sorrowful, and you can especially hear it in this version

@@delirium266I’ve always thought that it’s a continuation of the trio (Graceland too, favor, please stay) and it’s about Julien relapsing and how they all deal with it “once I took your medication to know what it’s like”

for me it's the lyrics that deal the killing blow

Actual, factual perfection. All 3 of them at the top of their game. Insane.

no bc i don't think we give lucy enough credit for always singing the hard harmonies... like that ending??? whewwww

the boys were too genius with this one guys (i cant stop crying)

Something about Julien’s voice in this is so legitimate. Like it sounds like something that she’s whispering to herself, and even her voice manages to convey it that way

like are we psychotic how do you just release a song like this.

this one never fails to scalp me. absolute baldness going on every single time

They are rapidly becoming that. But as long as the Koch Family owns over half of commercial radio stations in America they will be bigger in Europe and a few English speaking nations around the world than they are in America. Sad because they should be as big as the Beatles or at minimum Crosby, Stills, Nash.

Julien trying to hold back the tears at the end 😭

I LOVE YOU JULIEN!!!!! THEY SOUND SOOOO BEAUTIFUL TOGETHER!

If you pause at the end you can see our lovely Julien forcing back the tears, Lucy peaking and Phoebe covering it all up. It’s like a painting. They’re such icons, I love them so much. ❤

Their voices together are like silk... chiffon. If you get it, you get it.

pheobe's guitar playing gets cleaner and more crisp with every new live performance

God, Julien really kills it for me on this one performance, I wish I could get sounds tattooed cause I would get her part here in a goddamned heartbeat

Lucy has such an amazing voice!

their harmonies make me cry 🥲

Discovered them on Stephen Colbert’s show. Mesmerizing. The sweet soprano vocals juxtaposed with the heartrending lyrics were powerful.

I love the originals but something about their songs live/acoustic transforms them in such a cool way. Both versions are amazing but they almost seem completely different even though they’re exactly the same song

really nice to hear just lucy and julien singing

I'm never beating the parasocial relationship allegations

This is The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkle. Listen to the when they start singing and just plug in these lyrics... "I am just a poor boy but my story's seldom told..."

Lucy forever❤

Love the Death Angel t-shirt, Julien.

better than the recorded audio - cried at the end

I’m in love with Lucy’s voice. What a group!!

Might be the most structurally perfect song. The irony is that the song about relationships disintegrating.

They are beyond groovy!

I heard this song recently and it's beautiful.

My niece just turned me on to their tunes❤ I love it!

couldn’t actually catch my breath during this

Band with fantastic aurea, harmony and love.

lucy's vooooiccee

they are amazing

Absolutly fantastic!

Amo a boygenius!

I love boygenius

tears in my eyes ..... Love you boys . truly geniuses ❤❤

Love this your voices are beautiful

Thanks for everything my friends. I’ll see you all in Minnesota in July if your tour schedule can handle it!

Wow & WOW!!! xoxo

i fucking love this so much

i got goosebumps from this

I like this version better than the album.

Beautiful

Their best song hands down ❤

Brilliant (as usual)

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH IT HURTS MY LITTLE HEART.

Thank you so much! This is what I needed to see and hear. Have been hearing the song on the radio and I just longed to understand the performance factor. It's beautiful, strong, simple, and real.

Met you at the dive bar to go shoot some pool And make fun of the cowboys with the neck tattoos Ask you easy questions about work and school I'm trying to be cool about it Feelin' like an absolute fool about it Wishin' you were kind enough to be cruel about it Tellin' myself I can always do without it Knowin' that it probably isn't true I came prepared for absolution, if you'd only ask So I take some offense when you say, "No regrets" I remember it's impossible to pass your test But I'm trying to forget about it Feelin' like I'm breaking a sweat about it Wishin' you would kindly get out of my head about it Tellin' myself one day I'll forget about it Knowin' that it probably isn't true Once, I took your medication to know what it's like And now I have to act like I can't read your mind I ask you how you're doing and I let you lie But we don't have to talk about it I can walk you home and practice method acting I'll pretend being with you doesn't feel like drowning Tellin' you it's nice to see how good you're doing Even though we know it isn't true

I am a music lover who has been around a long time, you got it, all the best to you !

Magic is right here ✨✨✨✨🪄🪄🪄🪄🪄. Thank you so much for such a beautiful interpretation 🥺❤️‍🩹

lucy’s mic is ONNNN

i cannot believe this doesnt have more views

this is my preferred version. the album version isnt nearly as perfect as this and it blows my mind.

elas são as melhores pessoas que existem!!!!

god dammit they're fkn good

I noticed that they always tend to put Phoebe as the cover for interviews and KZread videos for BOYGENIUS probably because she's the most famous...

Such a great song on many levels , with a definite similarity to the boxer by simon and garfunkel in a few parts ..in a good way.

perfection. Saw them at the Hollywood Bowl with my daughter who turned me on to them. also perfection. so moving. I'm kinda old, so forgive me - but the level of beauty here reminds me of C,S,N. in the best way.

Simon and Garfunkel. The Boxer. For those from the hippie days.😀
