obsessed w moon song. the dead little bird is her love for the subject that she offers like a gift but they treat it like she killed something beautiful so now they have to throw it away but it’s not her fault she killed it it’s just in her nature. the pity that that line contains is heartbreaking.
they want to love each other as much as they can (as friends, whatever) but it’s in her nature to fall in love too hard and kill it
absolutely in love with this song and its meaning!!
The bird metaphor in moon song always kills me because i think of it like this:
A dog bringing its owner a bird thinks it's giving them a gift. Its a symbol of love for them. The dog is saying 'look I put effort into hunting/finding this thing and now I'm giving it to you because this is a precious treasure'. The bird in this song is a metaphor for all of Phoebe's love and devotion that she gives this person.
But no dog owner has ever looked at a dead bird in their dog's mouth and appreciated the gift. They tend to be upset, or disgusted. The sweet ones will pretend to enjoy it and then promptly throw it away.
That last line just hits so hard because to me its saying that 'you saw all this love I was willing to give you and you hated it, you didn't want it. To you it was disgusting, but you know I'm too in love to understand my devotion is a burden to you.
Yeah...
:(
"I don't forgive you, but please don't hold me to it" always gets me for some reason.
I Know The End is one of my favourites closures to an album; the song feels like a release of all the emotions and trauma from previous songs. It’s the equivalent of just letting yourself feel everything and cry and scream about it! I absolutely love it!
Punisher is like the “night” version of Folklore (at least to me). This feels like an album you and your friend would listen to while in a camp, sitting by the bonfire and having reflections about life.
She said this album is “like a love letter to your crush (and other loved ones) before the end of the world”. I don’t know but as the themes go and were presented (+ the fact that it was released during the pandemic), I think it really is a perfect description
the album covers seem very similar as well. I love that you pointed that out I love both albums!
Punisher is like the beginning of the night and folklore is like the beginning of the morning.
Kyoto is about her strained relationship with her father. It's beautifully written
If you ever listen to Phoebe’s first album, Stranger in the Alps, you’ll notice that the lyric “but you know the killer doesn’t understand” from Moon Song matches the tune of “Killer” from that album!!! She’s an absolute genius.
I’d heard “I Know The End” a few times without paying much attention, but the first time I really intentionally listened to the whole album from start to finish, the entire second half of that song made me SOB like I’ve never cried from music before. It feels like extreme catharsis, and I connected with it thematically so intensely that for weeks after, I couldn’t NOT sob listening to it. A masterpiece.
I had the same experience, seriously. I cried like a baby.
same i was really obsessed with i know the end i didnt even listen many on the album bc i was just on repeat with it (i know the end) haha and it happened the same with billie's happier than ever.
I'm so excited, I've been waiting for this video. You should definitely check out her debut album Stranger in the Alps!
I definitely will Ashley! :)
Yes funeral is amazing!!!
@@ellawilton6439 omg yes I don't know how anyone listens to that song and doesn't get emotional at least the first time. And her voice! 😍
@@MichaelBeveraggi 13:58 actually she is a Leo, her father is a Scorpio
@@MichaelBeveraggiITS BEEN A YEAR
Phoebe did an EP of acoustic covers of some of this album. They are soul destroying in the best way. Punisher and Chinese Satellite are worth the listen, especially if you want to focus on lyrics.

Moon Song is one of the most captivating songs I’ve ever heard. I’ve heard it so many times, yet I still find myself uncovering something new about it every few listens. Like for example, we know the moon’s gravitational force controls the ocean and the tidal waves. I think that’s why Phoebe incorporated tons of water imagery throughout the song, literally from start to finish, i.e. “you pushed me in” (like metaphorically into a body of water), “Tears in Heaven”, “Until I cried”, “nautical themed”, “You’re holding me like water in your hands” (one my personal fav lyrics of the whole album)….UGH it’s just so good. SO good.
I've become unhealthily obsessed with Moon Song, it's the saddest love song ever written
This album is basically the line from a cowboy like me "And the skeletons in both our closets
Plotted hard to mess this up" as a whole album
TRUUUUUEEE
Fun fact: The melody of Savior Complex was written in one of Phoebe's dreams.
phoebe's style just generally feels so unique for some reason and i absolutely love it.
i have this vinyl and i literally cried the whole way through. this album is simply a masterclass on songwriting with a beautiful soothing and painfully emotive voice
i just got the album on vinyl and listening to it is truly a spiritual experience
You hit on absolutely everything I love about Phoebe. Her lyricism is absolutely genius, and especially in tandem with the music- it makes you feel the words and the intent behind them even more. Great vid!
Thank you so much!! Glad we see things on the same page with her, she’s magnificent!
Chinese Satellite and Garden Song remain my favs.
Chinese Satellite was a big one for me, I feel the way she feels. I've seen a lot of loss, and I want to believe the people I've lost are out there somewhere... but I can't trick myself into that belief. I simply don't believe in an afterlife as much as I'd like to have that comfort. It's cold, it's isolating, it's this insurmountable longing that cannot be satisfied.
I can't quite put my finger on why I love Garden Song, the whole song is a dream that paints this picture so vividly in my mind, the world around you being beautiful and idyllic but failing to feel strongly about any of it and time passing you by without your notice... Like nostalgia? Trying to recapture feelings of youth and the failure to do so? I don't know, I may be missing the mark on this one, but that's how it makes me feel.
This album is so beautiful, her voice and lyrics are just something else, I am captivated and transported everytime she sings
I like to think of I know the end’s ending as a release. Like, a release from all the negativity, since Graceland too is about self-love.
this album is just insane all of her work is insane to me i do not understand how someone can write like this. putting that deep pain into words is something else man.
I Know The End was the first song of hers I ever heard and I was obsessed immediately. Like it's just such a strong song. Aside from that I think Kyoto or Chinese Satellite are my favorites, but several of these songs get stuck in my head randomly tbh. I adore how she writes lyrics.
Also did you notice the little string melody in DVD Menu is a melody in the breakdown of I Know the End? I love so much when albums have a callback like that lol
Being a "vegetable" in this song refers to being in a vegetative state or being incapacitated and physically unable to take care of yourself so your partner or spouse has be your caretaker. I think.
I've been WAITING for this!! You simply must check out her debut- Stranger In The Alps! 🥺 Love the vids , keep em coming ♥️
I will Alyssa! Thank you so much for watching♥️
"it feels like a nightmare that is coded by this mirage that's an actual dream, where you don't realize you're in a nightmare but you're in a dream that's leading to that nightmare alley". Pure poetry
I love moon song so much it's just breathtaking
Awesome reaction, man! I love how you were able to grasp the emotions that each song sets for you to experience. I hope you can also do her first album Stranger in the Alps (Deluxe). Cheers!
fun fact i read somewhere that may or may not have been intentional:
Moon Song. beautiful song right? gorgeous.
“Phoebe” is Greek for “radiant, shining one.” It’s also the by-name of Artemis… goddess of the moon.
“I’d give you the moon” has a whole other meaning to me knowing that info. she’s not just giving the moon to this person, she’s giving her entire being.
Beveraggi notifications for the win!!! Here to see if Michael loves Kyoto as much as I did…
Anthony!! The one & only!! I’ve got Kyoto & Punisher as my faves off the album so I bet we shared some common appreciation for sure 🤝
i think she calls the person a vampire in savior complex because they suck the life out of her, they take her vitality, they take a literal part of her, but she keeps wanting to fix them, therefore the savior complex
I listened to punisher for the first time sitting around a fire in the snow in northern Washington with my friends while tripping on acid and ever since that moment it has been my favorite work of art of all time. A truly surreal experience.
Yes!!! I've been waiting for this I'm so excited!! I'll get cozy and enjoy myself, thank you so much :)
ethan gruska, phoebe’s producer, has very beautiful music as well, that sounds very similar to this, especially his 2020 album. he recently did a song with bon iver as well that is gorgeousssssss
i adore your analysis and reactions, keep going, what you do is amazing:)
Yes I've been so excited for you to check Phoebe out! Personally my favourite album of hers is stranger in the Alps so definitely recommend you check that one out as well.
been following you since your folklore reaction!!! loving these reactions to my favorite albums
Your reactions to some of my fav albums are literally so addicting to watch and so fun arghh tysm for this content🫶🏽
So happy you did this!!! giving us endless amazing content thank you
💜💜💜
I’ve watched many reaction videos to this album and this is by far one of my favorites!
so obsessed with this video i was thinking about it today and had to come back to it, your reaction and description of what you took from her songs is exactly what i feel about this album. god i NEED your reaction to stranger in the alps desperately.
Loved her song "Funeral", I definitely gonna check her album out. Love the way she sings her songs, like she is taking us with her and telling us a story.
Punisher** is easily a top 2 for me! Hearing Funeral has some of those vibes so I’m excited for it!
I hope your week is amazing too! I LOVE YOU!
this is, in my opinion, one of the best albums of our generation. you can listen to it 50 times and never get bored. you can imagine every song vividly. it feels like she’s taking to you face to face, one on one, reading you her deepest page in her journal. i know the end is more than you could ever ask for to close an album. it feels internal and huge. i cant say enough about phoebe’s genius artistry. thank you for reacting!
You also have to check out her band boygenius with Lucy dacus and julien baker! They actually sang the backing vocals on Graceland too!
Please never stop making this content. Watching you is the closest feeling to listening to these songs for the first time, it's magic that you can't truly feel again but watching you allows me to borrow that feeling. You pick out lyrics and offer meaning that I'd never considered before, it rounds the song for me. You don't look at these things on a surface level but your approach is so calm and non-pretentious which is quite rare. I can't wait to see your channel grow.
Excited for this reaction!! I love this album
i love youuuu thank you for this !! im really glad ur getting into phoebe's music :'))
💜💜💜
YES i"ve been waiting for this! you have to listen to her first album Stranger in the ALps
Luv your reaction, great commentary!
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
i think we could all agree that we've been waiting for this day to come since you listen to red tv, and the wait was absolutely worth it!!!!
This was such a great reaction, thank you!
fav album of all time....I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
I'M SO EXCITED TO GET INTO IT
You have to listen to her group with Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus, Boygenius. The combo of their 3 voices is magical. One tip, the studio Boygenius recordings don't do the songs/their voices justice. Listen to/watch their set at Brooklyn Steel (it's the full EP, all 6 songs, and is available on RUclips) it is an unbelievable performance.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
I have been waiting for your reaction!! I didn't realize quite how much I listen to Kyoto til it was my top listened to song in 2021, so needless to say its one of my favorites. Chinese satellite is another, especially the first chorus but really the whole song hits so hard bc of religious upbringing. For that song, I think of vegetable as a slang for a person in a coma or a braindead patient, which some people believe you can come back from, or don't want to pull the plug on in the hopes that they'll come back by a miracle.
I could talk for wayyy too long about the lyrics of all of these songs because they're just so good! It did take me a couple listens to really understand the depths of all her words but I genuinely like every song (hoping that happens for you with Graceland too, because I love that song and how it addresses her understanding and devotion to friends who are really struggling in life)
Would love to see your reaction to stranger in the alps as well as the boygenius ep, a collab between Phoebe, Lucy Dacus, and Julien Baker!! It's amazing and got me into Lucy and Julien as artists as well, who have some great albums. Lucy and Julien also did the harmonies on Graceland too! (one of the songs on the boygenius ep called Ketchum, ID has some ethereal harmonies and vibes)
phoebe is absolutely phenomenal. i’m so excited you reacted to punisher and hope you react to stranger in the alps soon!!:))
PHENOMENAL. I definitely will, she’s got a fan here! Thanks Mads!
this is the video i’ve been waiting for my whole life
Phoebe meant/means moon in stories in greek mythology. The lyric "If i could you the moon i would give you the moon" is even deeper than anyone can imagine.
phoebe and bulbasaur in the background?? oh hell ya. i loved your reaction to the album and that you appreciate the brilliance that is punisher and phoebe 💕
I will do anything to change your mind about graceland too!! no but seriously I’ve been waiting for you to listen to this, whether on here or on your own, so I’m glad you loved it
PLEADE YOUR CASE SAVANNAH. Sometimes songs grow on me after a few weeks though so maybe that will happen with that song! Thank you for watching though Savannah!!
We need you to listen to boygenius next. Great video bevvy. We always love your insightful thoughts
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS ❤️❤️❤️💖
:)
this is my favorite album of all time i love Phoebe so much
OMG I’VE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS
It has arriveddd Luiza!
Can’t wait for you to do Stranger in the Alps. It’s a little different, but also an incredible album
Moon song is my absolute favourite!
I think the references to the dog bringing a bird to the door symbolizes how dogs tend to bring back dead animals to their owners as a way to show their loyalty and how they genuinely think that it’s something that their owner will appreciate. She is the dog doing anything and everything to please this person but it never seems to be enough and they never quite value it as much as Phoebe wishes they did.
In the last verse when she says “you are sick, and your married, and you might be dying” I think that it refers to an exaggeration of her significant being inconsistent in their relationship. Saying things such as they are sick of her, they want to marry her, they feel as though she is suffocating them.
This whole album is truly a masterpiece!
I know the end might be my favourite song ever I wish I could listen to it for the first time again
omg, lizzy and now phoebe!!!!
You finally did phoebeeeeee 💕 all I need now is Magdalene by FKA Twigs and the gods we can touch by Aurora and I’ll be good
Graceland too is actually about one of her close friends and boygenuis bandmates Julien baker! she is also doing backing vocals on the track too!
you should totally check out lucy dacus and julien baker! they sing with phoebe on graceland too (the song being about julien) and each of them have songs on their new albums where they are background vocals for each other (each one talks about the same story of graceland too)
the three of them also have an ep together and supergroup by the same name of boygenius and it’s perfection, definitely recommend checking all that out whenever you can :))!
Reaction was so on point! I felt the same for a lot of tracks, such an amazing album. It only gets better with time too. Kyoto is about her father , you got that right. My favourite ist probably chinese satellite
I think Chinese Satellite or Graceland too are my favorites but IT IS SO HARD TO PICK
Ugh SO HARD it’s just all so cohesive!!
Graceland too, one day hit me and I was just all teary eyed, sobbin. I don't even know why.
Graceland Too does the same thing to me at the most random times.
An absolutely stellar album, we practically had the same reaction to Moon Song! Subscribed for sure. Don't know if you take requests but I think just for lyrical and compositional talent, Joanna Newsom's "Divers" would be amazing to see you listen to. Quite different to Phoebe but I believe your insight into Phoebe's lyrical depth encourages me to make this recommendation!
you should react to stranger in the alps! it was her debut album and i will honestly never get bored of it, it feels like coming home.
Also... every time I listen this album I think the same, this is a good horror film... For me it would amaaazing if one day she could collab with Ari Aster (Hereditary, Midsommar) or Robert Eggers (The Witch, The Lighthouse, The Northman). That would make me SO happy 💖
No joke, I was JUST wondering if you’d ever cross paths with Phoebe so I searched it up and found this. I feel guilty suggesting content to cover, but a reaction to Gracie Abram’s Minor and/or Block Me Out would be amazing. Much love.
I love Gracie Abrams so so much
I know the end is one of my favourite songs like ever. Makes me wanna drive, like Venice Bitch.
Funeral and also her cover of Day After Tomorrow by Tom Waits are soooo devastating
just a tad bit of context, chinese satellite is about (in my opinion) her belief system varying from the person that she loves and about how she yearns for something to believe in, like her loved one. he could never be her vegetable, like on life support, because she thinks there is no life after death and he does. but she expresses the fact that she would become those evangelicals that she was screaming at before even though she would be embarrassed if there was any chance that there could be a life after death and if she could be with her loved one after she dies. chinese satellite is such a complex and deep song and i love it so much
Since you liked this, it makes me think you might like the album Carrie & Lowell by Sufjan Stevens! It’s such a popular album and for good reason :-)
Him after Graceland Too: i want more haunting
Me, knowing what's next: ~*cackling*~
The way Graceland too is my favorite on the album😭
Hi Michael!!! I think you HAVE to check out Cody Fry’s music! Mainly his top songs: I Hear a Symphony, Photograph, and Underground! It’s a very cinematic style, almost like they were made to be in movies or musicals. They’re beautiful and honestly magical. I would love to see your reaction on them, I think you would love them (I know you like piano a lot, and Cody Fry is all about piano) 🤍🤍
So I’m a horror writer and the book I’m working on the mood playlist is this album. If I need to get into the headspace she takes me right there. If you haven’t yet Smoke Signals is a different vibe but it has amazing lyrics.
i love watching people click with this album for the first time
Everyone I’ve watched react to this album makes the “mom come pick me up I’m scared” face at the end of I Know the End, it’s my favorite part 😂
First time I heard that song was live. My friends did not tell me what was coming 😂
phoebes music is pure art.
when you went “that lyric right there i need it again,i need it again” on 32:32 FELT
The best thing about this album is after almost every song you think that was the best, by far my favorite. And then the next song tops it
YESSSS FINALLY
I recommend you watch the video for I Know The End also- would love to see your reaction!
i loved when he started savior complex, got a few seconds in, and then was just like "i can't stop thinking about moon song!!!!"
OMG YESSSSSSS
you should checkout boygenius next!!!! its a band she was in along with julien baker and lucy dracus
i didn't like this album at first listen, i had heard so much good about it, but i guess that day i wasn't prepared for such heavy lyricism, so i ended up finding most of the songs quite confusing and boring.
but how i was wrong!!! listening to this album while in the right mood is just MAGICAL and Moon Song ended up being one of my favorite songs of 2020
YESSSSS AHHHHHHYH
