Yup, and I think as a passing comment in an interview Conor mentioned him and Phoebe often fight about musicians. I think in the interview it was about The Doors but in the song Phoebe mentions fighting about John Lennon until she cried.
For all the people who say they are in love with pheobe. Let's just be clear. There are two kinds of people in this world, those who are in love with her and those that have never heard of her. That's it
i never realized the parallel between the lyrics of moon song and i know the end, “like a dog with a bird at your door” “and when i call you come home, a bird in your teeth”
Phoebe, the way you sing the line "You couldn't have stuck your tongue down the throat of somebody who loves you more" in 'Moon song' is just stunning. I can't stop listening to it.
"Can I like this, I am 75?" I asked 4 months ago. Here is your answer: "Yes you can like this!" The result is now (2021-01-11) overwhelmingly 1233 to 0. No one thinks that I am to old to like this. This gives me a huge hope for the future, you will fix it, my reflecting neurones in my brain gives a signal to my eyes to start produce a lot of fluid, and my eyes obey, they start to produce. And so I am sitting here with tears in my eyes, Thank you all.
Being that dog, at that door, is one of the saddest feelings in life. You just have to find reason after reason to find some new door to drop a bird at. I promise life will show you those doors if you're open to looking.
idk if it was just me but the silence before and after she said "hey guys, I'm phoebe, I hope you are all enjoying your apocalypse" was hilariously awkward but I'm here for it.
It’s tough because on the one hand Phoebes music is a result of whoever hurt her, but on the other, I would fight the person who hurt her any day of the week.
I think she'd still write a tonne of good lyrics without that stuff to draw on - we might not have Motion Sickness or Moon Song in the sense we do now, I bet she'd have come up with something else for them though.
" i wanted to see the world through your eyes until it happened and i changed my mind" I think this is about her trying to understand her dad's substance abuse by experimenting with it herself (she wanted to see why he chose alcohol or drugs over her). but when she tried it, it either gave her a bad trip or was just too painful for her because of her dad. so she "changed her mind"
That ending was utter brilliance, completely unexpected. I kept thinking how interesting it was going to be for the outro to be played acoustic. I guess I'll keep wondering what that would be like.
theres an acoustic version of i know the end during the instagram live concert phoebe did for pitchfork back in april! it's on RUclips and its the first time she played the song live, it's just her and her guitar
She always has this somber look when she finished kyoto. its a fun sounding song but its not in reality. and you can really tell when shes finishes the song rather than when shes singing it.
Perhaps grey is the new...something? Grey hair, grey suit. Lucky for me if it was so. But no, I think not. It is just young peoples wish to become more serious. And I welcome them into the grey. Like Phoebe.
PS Sorry, Phoebe is already most serious, grey hair or not. And I have no grey suit, so Im not totally grey. Remember: Grey is what you get when you mix all colours.
Perhaps this is the time for a grey revolution, we have president Biden with us, we greyhaired have never offended, persecuted, diminished, and so on. And if you are greyhaired and have done such things: well, you are fired! Only decent greyhaired people can join us. Perhaps we can start a world revolution, together with Phoebe? What do you think? And if you are to young, well, try to colour your hair grey, as Phoebe Bridgers,
I’ve listened to all of 6 songs by phoebe bridgers, and each one of them has genuinely altered me in unbelievable ways. I haven’t been this affected by music since i was like 14 listening to nirvana. It’s like she speaks to my soul. Nothing but respect for her good lord
As a man in mid-forties now who used to be a young Gen-X or 90s kid and who've been able to listen to so much great music, Phoebe Bridgers' music is one of the best things that ever happened to me.
If you haven't already heard 'em you should check out Sharon Van Etten, Julia Jacklin, Courtney Barnett, and Angel Olsen... 4 great female artists. And also the bands Wolf Alice and the Alvvays (pronounced "Always") who have female lead singers. All of them write crazy good songs.
am from Kenya am so inspired by you guys sounds magical play live with your instruments and NPR MUSIC has made me discover a lot of musician who play and sing amazingly and very talented and i even started performing live music and playing music instruments on my you tube so one day i be in the concert ,
I keep listening to this concert over and over again. Such a comfort. It’s like a warm heated blanket on a porch in the woods on a rainy night in Fall.
The thought of the country’s leader approaching political turmoil with acoustic sets actually brings me a lot of comfort. Bless you, Phoebe. You’ve been my friend for years, and we’ve never even met.
She’s doing exactly what great artists are doing, giving us different versions of her music so we have the chance to fall in love with every song 💖 she’s so good it hurts my brain
How is her singing voice volume at 3 but her speaking voice volume is set to 8? And how does her speaking voice sound like a completely different person from her singing voice? CRAZY!
