Julien Baker - Vessels Lyrics






Tell me in thin paper about your love
Breath like thick water lives in my lungs
My skin is full of black ink, in your white clothes
For so much I think, little I know

Pull off my armor, knees bruised and naked
Peel back my skin, call out my name
Vessel of brightness, come make me blind
This present darkness is swallowed by light

And my skeleton is a house for my eyes purchased with a bleeding side

  1. e.... ....

    Just wow.

  2. H.... L....

    4,886 of these are me from the last two weeks

  3. f.... ....

    I'm gonna be so pissed if this song isn't in LiS 2 or in a game similar to LiS

  4. L.... L....

    She's nothing less than amazing!

  5. N.... B....

    sounds so much like a LiS soundtrack song

  6. J.... D....

    There's a grounding issue with your amp in this video. It's probably because you are using the same circuit as that fridge behind Julien. I love the song though.

  7. D.... H....

    Someone add this version to Spotify.

  8. E.... T....

    I'm so glad I've found this song. I just clicked on it in the recommended tab and wow the music blew me away. And then the lyrics remind me of my boyfriend, who I'm still working out my feelings for, but after we'd kiss for a while we'd stop and just talk to each other and both this song and I are incredibly vulnerable in such a position and I'm so unbelievably calm and nostalgic all at once

  9. M.... C....

    I love her so much! 🖤🖤🖤

  10. S.... P....

    Her guitar playing is underrated. Always amazing

  11. S.... A....

    Very reminiscent of Savina & Drones

  12. T.... f....

    One of the best videoclips that I have ever seen. I am serious. This is simple, not like videoclips from other singers. I love it.
    BTW: The song is awesome too, of course :)

  13. D.... U....

    Vessel of brightness, come make me blind.

    And my skeleton is a house for my eyes purchased with a bleeding side.

  14. L.... D....

  15. T.... H....

  27. S.... K....

    I've been sad for weeks. Tbh, idk what i'm feeling anymore.

  28. R.... P....

    thx for post this.

  29. S.... S....

    What kind of pedal does she use for this sound ???

    S.... S....

    It sounds to me like a Mr. Black Supermoon reverb.  Just Googled...probably a Strymon Blue Sky reverb.

  30. 1.... D....

    Beautiful. Won't take long to get as many hits as Sting's Shape Heart song.

  31. c.... ....

    after obssessing over this universe of a talent for weeks, i still keep coming back

  32. _.... ....

    Mesa boogie combo?!

  33. K.... O....

    She and her guitar is the only I need to feel happy and sad but most thankfull for play a NPR video

  34. R.... o....

    She was in a band called Forrister too. Theres a song called Choked Up that is awesome

    R.... o....

    wow dude, that song is really good too (but something and rejoice from her as solo work is even better)

  35. D.... O....

    One of her best performances! This song is so underrated

  36. p.... g....

    hehe she almot die 1:35 by the way i love her music

  37. M.... G....

    That's great!

  38. f.... g....

    amo a esta chica :)

  39. B.... D....

    her songs are good for chic flick movies

  40. J.... G....

    Wow. Been looking for new music which makes the hairs on my arms stand up for about 5 years, just found it.

  41. P.... D....

    Girl version of Hozier?

  42. k.... ....

    This song is something else! Wowsers!!

  43. J.... D....

    Does anyone know what pedal effects are needed to get that kind of sound out of a guitar?

    J.... D....

    tape delays, reverbs, some chorus as well. All this "family" of effects is called modulation, or just mod, effects. hope that helps.

    J.... D....

    Juan David Idrobo think she uses a walrus audio descent reverb. that and the fender blues deluxe amp are most of what makes the tone you're talking about

  44. J.... K....

    i am the one dislike

    J.... K....

    You're a tasteless ass

  45. n.... c....

    for so much i think, little i know

  46. V.... ....

    Cannot believe how talented a songwriter this girl is. Fuck me, awaiting every new song.

  47. s.... k....

    outstanding, such honest articulate lyrics, and wonderful guitar lines. Love this!

  48. A.... M....

    Vessels is the tie breaker for best song with "something" :) Thanks Unlocked for posting this live tune

  49. R.... G....

    someone linked me to a video of hers. 20 hours later I have forgotten to go to sleep, go to work, feed the cat, and feed myself. not even mad

    R.... G....

    +Rick Grider yes, its scary good!

    R.... G....

    I'm sure your cat was mad.

  50. K.... B....

    you're gonna go so far! can't believe I just discovered

  51. G.... M....

    on the top of the amazing composing, her voice is amazing too

  52. j.... r....
