The way you described them as a pile 😂

they’re so synchronized i love it

This is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard, can't stop playing it

The part "half a mind keeps the other second guessing" always resonates with me as saying that a part of my brain is empowered and knows exactly what I want but the other part is always doubting myself and doubting if I can do it

I loved hearing Lucy’s perspective of the line “always an angel never a god.” I interpreted it differently before this, I thought it meant that you will never receive the exact perfect holy thing you are looking for, but you might find something good enough. Not settling, but accepting a good thing that comes into your life even though it is not your idea of perfect

the goosebumps from their harmonies bro

I'm 68 , love music and am always looking for something new and creative. This is one of the best songs I've heard in a long, long, time. There are a couple others on the album that are super fine also: $20 and Anti-curse. Young women, Boygenius included, are making some of the best music today. Great hope for the future of music. Rock on.

This.

listening to them talk about their lyrics together is so amazing-they are all crazy smart and lyrical geniuses, and it also really shows their level of vulnerability and comfort with each other because they are all clearly thoughts and feelings they have been in conversation about for so long. it feels so uncommon and almost magical, makes me realize how rare it is for me to be witness to this kind of true love/artistic collaboration. makes me wanna cry i love them sm lol

Just the harmonies made this an amazing watch, thank you genius and boygenius you are all geniuses.

their voices are so different and blend together beautifully. I'm so glad they got back together for another album. It's been on repeat for weeks.

Phoebe really honed her voice touring her last album, she sounds so much more confident than she used to

julien smiling while singing thru the last chorus is so precious

They all got some sort of connection, on god. They finish each other sentences without talking over each other and their harmonies are breathtaking.

this song: life-altering, devastating lucy: just a vibe :)

this ending with Lucy correctly predicting what the editors would do with the footage feels like a real Boy Genius moment I love them so much

them changing harmony lines for each chorus makes me want to rip my eyeballs out i love them so much

This is such a perfect representation of how perfect their voices sound together

The second chorus harmonies and explanation just changed the trajectory of my life

also i just noticed the second chorus has a slightly different harmonic arrangement they are insane

their harmonies are angelic!!

julien’s laugh is everything

them harmonizing feels magical like you can’t tell me the part 5:45 isn’t pure magic

their vocals during the 'always an angel never a god' bit had me ascending to heaven fr

All three of them have such beautiful voices but there’s something about Lucy’s voice that just transfixes me!

Can we get this for the whole album?! Obsessed

The three of them singing a capella is the closest thing to heaven for me. Damn I love that band.

Hearing Phoebe sing a capella this first verse just brought me to tears, what a beautiful voice and so in tune...freakin' amazing ! Love the album btw 🙂

their commentary is simultaneously careless, and yet so concise

Their voices singing any of the harmonies together shows how much they love each other. They have been through the connections, self-deprecation's and love for each other that allows them to sing each others stories as friends. Even if they weren't there for that story.

One of the best songs this decade. Something with actual meaning.

Wanting to be artists like this but feeling like you never have the energy so why even try is the feeling this song embodies within me and the fact that they are writing about it is hopeful and shows how down to earth they are. They will go down as game changers in the music industry

julien’s voice is like a literal angel. love them all so much ❤

they look at each other with so much love

watching a boygenius video means seeing it three times in order to watch someone else each time

The out of context clips do sound so out of control and I'm so here for it. I watched the whole thing first and am so tickled and grateful that I stuck around for the final few seconds. I'm bound to watch it all again and again.Thank y'all for being y'all and for all that you do.

Me and the boys when we’re doing a genius interview

this is the best thing in my life rn

You know the first few lyrics make sense from a physics perspective. If there were a black hole at the center of your kitchen, all the clocks would read different depending on their proximity to the black hole. Black holes have such a strong gravitational pull that they actually warp the way time passes in their vicinity. It's called time dilation.

They’re so well spoken

Hot tip: Stay to the very very end of the video so you don’t miss Julien’s glorious giggles.

I just love them so much! Those harmonies are crazy

i ❤️ julien baker singing without backing tracks

Love watching them harmonize

I love the second verse. It's like a violent cartoon skit. In an attempt to cope with one's feelings the narrator loses everything anyway, and the last line is like a postmortem commentary being facetious about one's own fate.

I just starting crying uncontrollably when the harmonies started

juliens just in her own world im crying

"just vibes based" god i love them

i interpreted this in a completely different way 😭😭 like the “always an angel never a god” represented the dichotomy between men/women and femininity/masculinity. like how women/afab people are defaulted to angel status (angels are usually portrayed as women/children) in a more subservient role (which they touched on) and men are defaulted to god status. angels are glossed over and meant to comfort while gods are all powerful and meant to be worshipped. i thought the way they explained the song was so real and i like that it can take on different meanings/interpretations
