are the snails distant too? or only the solar systems

huh, i’ve never thought about it before. i think just the solar systems are distant in this case. the snails are close up. like this

but distant snails sounds cool. wait i’m gonna draw what i’m thinking. ok here it is:

a distant snail. probably part of a distant snailar system. wait fuck should i change my url to distantsnailarsystems? or perhaps snistantsnailarsnystems? eh, maybe later.

anyway, thanks for the question!

your distant solar system post captures the song so perfectly. the song brings me to distant solar system

aww thank you! and EXACTLY. when i was younger the song put a specific image in my brain, that i was floating in space, overlooking saturn (or some planet in a distant solar system that looked like saturn). it made me feel like i was one with the universe. now it’s more vague than that but it still can make me feel so big and so small at the same time. that song is truly something special. i mean, all of her songs are but this one especially.

Julien Baker- Distant Solar Systems

An underrated Julien Baker song. This song has an interesting structure and contains some of Juien’s best lyrical work in my opinion ( although I love the lyrics in everything she has put out)

Distant solar systems And all the minor planets Know nothing of our satellites and 747s. Fireworks that recreate The birth of constellations Dying suns that laugh at Shotgun powder imitations.

When I am a sailor, and the sky, a pitch-black ocean I'll look down at my bleeding heart and wish I were a Vulcan.

distant solar systems is like floating it’s like flying it’s like the color purple it’s like hugging a big soft stuffed animal it’s like swimming in a pool of stars it’s like silk it’s like going to sleep it’s like a really good cup of tea it’s like you can see the entire universe

'Cause great men of science And literature Don't impress me, what can I offer? 'Cause I am a chisel in your hand Screaming at marble From a microphone stand

Distant solar systems and all the minor planets Know nothing of our satellites and 747s Fireworks that recreate the birth of constellations Dying songs that laugh and shotgun powder imitations When I am a sailor, and the sky, a pitch-black ocean I'll look down at my bleeding heart and wish I were a Vulcan It's Byzantine structures, churches and all All of our treasure, a violent gold All of the empires crumble in stone Great architecture, build it in chrome God and I, we correspond with intermittent letters I send postcards from the road, and now and then he answers Echoes northern city-states, and all the mighty kingdoms Head of sewing needles on an unending horizon I knew there was a scene before you Ever thought to sing it And call yourself a bastard And I know you like an orphan 'Cause great men of science and literature Don't impress me, or can offer Because I am a chisel in your hand Screaming at marble from a microphone stand

NEW TRACKS: Julien Baker - “Distant Solar Systems”

Julien Baker had one of the most sublime debut albums of 2015 with Sprained Ankle.  Ten expertly-crafted tracks explore the limits of the human spirit and the trials of faith.  Her astute combination of delicate instrumental work and pensive vocals make her moments of defiance (for example, the explosive “And I haven’t been taking my meds” on the closing number “Go Home”) chill-inducing and unforgettable. Since Sprained Ankle, Julien’s been courted and signed by Matador Records, where she’s now in the good company of Cat Power, Spoon, Belle and Sebastian, Car Seat Headrest, Interpol, and Yo La Tengo, to name a few.  

Julien’s latest release is the B-side to single “Funeral Pyre,�� entitled “Distant Solar Systems.”  Once again, she ponders the role of her faith in her life as an artist with lines like “God and I, we correspond with intermittent letters / I send postcards from the road, and now and then he answers” and “Because I am a chisel in your hand / Screaming at marble from a microphone stand.” Julien’s gentle strumming and soft voice deliver her message like a lullaby, but listen closer and you’ll hear one of indie’s best up-and-coming songwriters shine.
