As Daniel mentioned, it was Tony Berg (Producer for Punisher) and the rest of the band that convinced Phoebe to speed up the song. When Tony told her she needed a "rock song" on the album, she played Kyoto... in her usual slow tempo, LOL. There's an interesting interview on here that talks about it more in depth: "‘Kyoto’: How to Convince Phoebe Bridgers to Write a Rock Song | Diary of a Song"
Day off in Kyoto I got bored at the temple Looked around at the 7-11 The band took the speed train Went to the arcade I wanted to go but I didn't You called me from a payphone They still got pay phones It cost a dollar a minute To tell me you're getting sober And you wrote me a letter But I don't have to read it I'm gonna kill you If you don't beat me to it Dreaming through Tokyo skies I wanted to see the world Then I flew over the ocean And I changed my mind Sunset's been a freak show On the weekend So I've been driving out to the suburbs To park at the Goodwill And stare at the chem trails With my little brother He said you called on his birthday You were off by like ten days But you get a few points for trying Remember getting the truck fixed When you let us drive it Twenty-five felt like flying I don't forgive you But please don't hold me to it Born under Scorpio skies I wanted to see the world Through your eyes until it happened Then I changed my mind Guess I lied I'm a liar Who lies 'Cause I'm a liar
It’s like I’m 14 and I wrote a song and my dads in the industry so now I’m famous But dad died So I filled this empty space with sad words and I don’t know why But north of middle aged men love it And I’m just Just Just A variety of Taylor swift They call me sad swift Barbie I’m wearing a Halloween costume It’s in a church I’m staring at probsbly something It’s not poignant They think it is Because a marshmallow ran off with their minds And this is poetry
Phoebe is just so inspirational. Her She only has more than 100K subs on her YT channel but damn, she's everywhere. She's pretty huge for someone who makes good indie music. Oh yes, that's the reason. She makes good music.
I'm a 7 oz portion of leftover chicken Alfredo in an microwave safe plastic container from the Olive Garden, not Phoebe's typical demographic, but this song makes me want to be heated for one minute and thirty seconds at 50% power until I'm swimming in a tiny pool of my own butter grease.
i get your point but autotune, drugs and girls doesn't make music less talented lol just so you know. idk if you know this but charli xcx and rosalia use autotune as an instrument and they're super talented. lana del rey talks about drugs and she's the best ever. etc
The sapphic energy in the room is killing me.
To be fair she did say 'I'm gonna kill you'
Never gonna get tired of the "ooh" 1:26
Can't help smiling. Everytime.
She always does it in every live performances I've seen. I love it. It's such a small but delightful thing
My favorite part.
Woo
Arlo and Phoebe?? HELL YES
Her voice is like being wrapped in a soft blanket 😌
something about phoebe bridgers wearing a skeleton onesie in a church gives me life.
Amen…
The background vocals add such a nice harmony, album version or stripped down. What a wonderful adaption of the song.
Phoebe: was sick of creating slow ballades during the process of making Kyoto, so she speeded the song up
Also Phoebe: sings it slow here
She wasn't really sickof it, it was more of a team decision to balance the whole album and speed things up for a change :)

@@pbakai182 exactly where I got it from! Great insight👍
Well whatever the reason was, the fast version doesn't work as well as this.. The music makes it sound like a power Rangers song
she also sang it slow on spotify singles and many live performances
Arlo's vocals+piano are awesome with Phoebe, would love to see them together live.
oh wow i didn't know i needed this
ruclips.net/video/JUE6uGQL-YI/видео.html🥺🥺🥺♥️
BROOO another swiftie who listens to Phoebe is everything I needed in my life 💕
Pily Swiftie and me😌
Thank you so much, Phoebe and Arlo, you are magnificent together!
They need to do more stuff together. Just epic!
Day off in Kyoto
I got bored at the temple
Looked around at the 7-11
The band took the speed train
Went to the arcade
I wanted to go but I didn't
You called me from a payphone
They still got pay phones
It cost a dollar a minute
To tell me you're getting sober
And you wrote me a letter
But I don't have to read it
I'm gonna kill you
If you don't beat me to it
Dreaming through Tokyo skies
I wanted to see the world
Then I flew over the ocean
And I changed my mind
Sunset's been a freak show
On the weekend
So I've been driving out to the suburbs
To park at the Goodwill
And stare at the chem trails
With my little brother
He said you called on his birthday
You were off by like ten days
But you get a few points for trying
Remember getting the truck fixed
When you let us drive it
Twenty-five felt like flying
I don't forgive you
But please don't hold me to it
Born under Scorpio skies
I wanted to see the world
Through your eyes until it happened
Then I changed my mind
Guess I lied
I'm a liar
Who lies
'Cause I'm a liar
It’s like I’m 14
and I wrote a song
and my dads in the industry
so now I’m famous
But dad died
So I filled this empty space with sad words
and I don’t know why
But north of middle aged men love it
And I’m just
Just
Just
A variety of Taylor swift
They call me sad swift Barbie
I’m wearing a Halloween costume
It’s in a church
I’m staring at probsbly something
It’s not poignant
They think it is
Because a marshmallow ran off with their minds
And this is poetry
Every note Phoebe's voice touches instantly turns into gold. As for the high pitches into platinum.
I'm a liar too, I said that I would never cry to this song again
I ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN WHEN I WATCHED FAKE PLASTIC TREES COVER BUT THEN I REINCARNATED AND DIED AND ASCENDED AGAIN
Oooomggg!! thisss is everything! all I’ve been listening to is Arlo & Phoebe. absolutely magical☄️🌟😍
I heard the piano player's voice and I was like "who's playing strings?" Whoa.
You should check out Arlo Parks' new album Collapsed in Sunbeams! She's so good
One word: ethereal
What a beautiful version of 'Kyoto'! Thank you
Phoebe is just so inspirational. Her She only has more than 100K subs on her YT channel but damn, she's everywhere. She's pretty huge for someone who makes good indie music. Oh yes, that's the reason. She makes good music.
ok, so this is the best rendition
Jeeez totally stunned, definitely a place in my playlist for this ❤
God this made the song so much sadder shshshsh
Love Phoebe but I’d never heard of Arlo before - to Spotify I go! 😀
I hope you checked out Black Dog.
If you haven't heard it already, her album Collapsed In Sunbeams just came out!
been waiting so long for this version......
The piano player is an angel
her music is fantastic !! highly recommended if you like phoebe's music
i want phoebe to be my cool aunt
A couple complementary elements and good acousics= magic
Phoebe makes me cry in a way no one else can
Best collab ever oh my god
Brilliant stuff....this has the makings of a new band I think....Even Better Oblivion Community Center. Let's make this happen.
such a phenomenal voice man. wish I could sing like that
Wow Its Amazing!!
ruclips.net/video/JUE6uGQL-YI/видео.html🥺🥺🥺♥️
oh my god this is just so beautiful
i love that the "woo" is the most replayed.
oh my GOD this is just beautiful
Never disappointed by Phoebe

Such a great version o’ Kyoto

ruclips.net/video/JUE6uGQL-YI/видео.html🥺🥺🥺♥️
It's a beatiful music and voice😍😍😍

This is amazing
I need this as an EP please 🙏💜🌈
i mean copycat killer did come out like 2 months after so lucky you
🗣️ It's Awnsome 👍
❤️ her....
Everything she does...
Damn I love her so much
and to think this is how phoebe originally wanted the song to be on the album
actually I am glad we have the album version of kyoto, because phoebe sing slower version everywhere else. so we have both now.
Phoebe AND Arlo? Sign me the hell up
thank you phoebe
what if they form a band? jk.. unless???
I'd be first in the line for a ticket
Awesomeness!
i love arlo and phoebe
the commitment to the "woo"
What in the all hell. This is perfect.
The funny thing about this song that it’s not particularly slower but the stripped back instruments with pheobe’s gentle singing give this illusion
The one i love from Punisher
WOW it's amazing.
literally emailing spotify to add this ASAP LOL
This hits harder like this
Stunning
Love this
Beautiful💖💞😍😘😘😘
I love it;;
I hafta say, tho, I loved your rough/ live version sooooo much!😍😍😍
This sounds wonderful.
Keep it up.😌💕
BBC always Brilliant ❤
So unbelievably in love ❤️
This feels like a fever dream I made up
ARLO & PHOEBE
she still did the "ooh" 🥺 1:26
Just WoW
Can I get a physical copy of both of these pretty please? Cassette? Vinyl? Cd? IDC TAKE ALL MY $!
Does she ever sing in her native Elfin (Elvish) tongue?

Wait until you hear what happens when musicians go on tour.
Mrtherapists :O
power couple😍
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Wow
Muito bom
PHOEBE C RADIO ONE
I'm a 7 oz portion of leftover chicken Alfredo in an microwave safe plastic container from the Olive Garden, not Phoebe's typical demographic, but this song makes me want to be heated for one minute and thirty seconds at 50% power until I'm swimming in a tiny pool of my own butter grease.
rad
0% Autotune
0% Drug
0% Grls
100% talent
i get your point but autotune, drugs and girls doesn't make music less talented lol just so you know. idk if you know this but charli xcx and rosalia use autotune as an instrument and they're super talented. lana del rey talks about drugs and she's the best ever. etc
Just when I thought it wasn't going to happen. @3:08
kyoto
bjutiful

Like a siren reeling me in
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
