Daddy please hear this song that I sing In your heart there's a spark that just screams For a lover to bring a child to your chest that could lay as you sleep And love all you have left like your boy used to be Long ago wrapped in sheets warm and wet Blister please with those wings in your spine Love to be with a brother of mine How he'd love to find your tongue in his teeth In a struggle to find secret songs that you keep wrapped in boxes so tight Sounding only at night as you sleep And in my dreams you're alive and you're crying, As your mouth moves in mine, soft and sweet, Rings of flowers 'round your eyes And Ill love you for the rest of your life when you're ready Brother see we are one in the same And you left with your head filled with flames And you watched as your brains fell out through your teeth Push the pieces in place Make your smile sweet to see Don't you take this away I'm still wanting my face on your cheek And when we break we'll wait for our miracle God is a place where some holy spectacle lies When we break we'll wait for our miracle God is a place you will wait for the rest of your life Two headed boy she is all you could need She will feed you tomatoes and radio wires And retire to sheets safe and clean But don't hate her when she gets up to leave
This is one of those songs where not only does every line work together into the song perfectly, but also tells an entire story on its own. IMO the greatest song ever written, and this was a beautiful cover.
@@marshall1oo627 nice take. I actually like when things don't 'compliment' regardlessly. Sort of like how sad people irl might come off as optimistic. Still a nice cover.
I don’t I think it sounds sadder because she sounds detached to herself and the situation, like she’s observing everything from outside her body. Like yeah it’s happening to her but at the same time it’s not
pheobe is truly someone special. this song to my knowledge hasnt been covered certainly less popular and holy fuck she killed it. im incredibly greatful to know an artist whos just as good as her.
Holy shit I have a neutral milk hotel tattoo I love Jeff mangum. I recently fell in love with stranger in the alps/Phoenee Bridgers. As a teenager (around 2004-2006 when I was 14 to 16) driving in cars with my friends we always played the in the aeroplane over the sea album. Thanks Phoebe for appreciating such great songwriting. And for giving it a chance to reach new people. I can think of at least 8 people I introduced to NMH WHO constantly thank me for it lol.
One of the best covers I've heard of this song. I usually dont like when a really pretty voice covers NMH, the rawness is part of what makes the original work so well but this compliments nicely.
I like how the tone is changed from the bitter melancholia that Mangum’s wailing plea brings on the original track. This version is still sad (it is Phoebe Bridgers) but it’s a more sweet melancholia with the slow electric guitar and Phoebes more smooth vocal delivery again compared to Mangums performance.
That’s such a beautiful sentiment, man. I guess that’s how every moment is. It’s one thing to know that, but it’s an entirely different thing to feel it. It’s moments like this that really show us
Interesting to see that she performed this song (which appears on an album directly inspired by Anne Franks ‘Diary Of A Young Girl’) on a dutch radio station in Amsterdam, the state Anne Frank was raised and where the annexe that Anne Frank and her family occupied while they were in hiding was.
Travis Carver I honestly don’t know what to say except your thoughts and beliefs have been horribly perverted. Small amount of research on the men in the discussion shows that they have one thing in common, denial of the holocaust and denial of the atrocities caused by the nazis. The video is also published on a channel strictly based on white supremacy, anti-semitism and holocaust denial. I think those facts alone should tell you how biased the video is.
been really getting into Neutral Milk Hotel the past few months, and only a couple days ago first listened to some of Phoebe’s music. Now this is in my recommended and i couldn’t be happier. incredible cover
I'm a huge NMH from back in the day; and in all honestly, I prefer this to the original. The vocals are so ridiculously on point, it's just utterly beautiful. Well done!
idk personally there's something about Jeff's manic singing that seals the deal for me, so I prefer his in the context of ITAOTS. That said, this is absolutely beautiful in its own right.
The Neutral Milk Hotel/Jeff Mangum version taps into our masculine gruffness version, while Phoebe's version taps into our feminine aspect. Either way, they are both wonderful and helpful to the human psyche, because the lyrics are so deeply meaningful in the way they can be interpreted.
Daddy, please, hear this song that I sing In your heart there's a spark that just screams For a lover to bring a child to your chest that could lay as you sleep And love all you have left like your boy used to be Long ago wrapped in sheets warm and wet Blister, please, with those wings in your spine Love to be with a brother of mine How he'd love to find your tongue in his teeth In a struggle to find secret songs that you keep wrapped in boxes so tight Sounding only at night as you sleep And in my dreams you're alive and you're cryin' As your mouth moves in mine soft and sweet Rings of flowers round your eyes and I love you For the rest of your life when you're here Brother, see we are one in the same And you left with your head filled with flames And you watched as your brains fell out through your teeth Push the pieces in place, make your smile sweet to see Don't you take this away, I'm still wanting my face on your cheek And when we break, we'll wait for our miracle God is a place where some holy spectacle lies When we break, we'll wait for our miracle God is a place you will wait for the rest of your life Two headed boy, she is all you could need She will feed you tomatoes and radio wires And retire to sheets safe and clean But don't hate her when she gets up to leave

This feels specifically engineered to fit my two current obsessions
Me too oh my gosh. I clicked this video immediately
ME TOOOOO
Am very glad people are still obsessing over neutral milk hotel.
Haha same. I dropped my phone, walked away, and came back to make sure it was real.
mmhm me too
This song is really really really important to a small group of people and she did it justice.
You can just say the f slur
What
@@HowardCountyHerald that comment is so slept on lol
LMAOOOO@@trevorabast
@@HowardCountyHerald peak comment
Love this! Now I just wish she’d cover the whole of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
Anybody else notice how the bars on the equalizer line up with the wood panels on the wall when they get taller?
The Dutch are truly incredible people
It made me oddly happy to see it
hey, cool!
ADHD much?
me too!
This is so important I like it
"And in my dreams you're alive and you're crying"
that lyric is especially sad when written out
“In my dreams you’re alive and you’re crying”, and now I’m crying too
Best cover I’ve ever heard of this song. It captures Jeff Mangum’s spirit and conclusions to one of the greatest indie album of all time.
what is wrong with you people
Garrett S. White what do you mean?
Garrett S. White LOL
Couldn’t disagree more
How does it capture Jeff Mangum's spirit, bro
Daddy please hear this song that I sing
In your heart there's a spark that just screams
For a lover to bring a child to your chest that could lay as you sleep
And love all you have left like your boy used to be
Long ago wrapped in sheets warm and wet
Blister please with those wings in your spine
Love to be with a brother of mine
How he'd love to find your tongue in his teeth
In a struggle to find secret songs that you keep wrapped in boxes so tight
Sounding only at night as you sleep
And in my dreams you're alive and you're crying,
As your mouth moves in mine, soft and sweet,
Rings of flowers 'round your eyes
And Ill love you for the rest of your life when you're ready
Brother see we are one in the same
And you left with your head filled with flames
And you watched as your brains fell out through your teeth
Push the pieces in place
Make your smile sweet to see
Don't you take this away
I'm still wanting my face on your cheek
And when we break we'll wait for our miracle
God is a place where some holy spectacle lies
When we break we'll wait for our miracle
God is a place you will wait for the rest of your life
Two headed boy she is all you could need
She will feed you tomatoes and radio wires
And retire to sheets safe and clean
But don't hate her when she gets up to leave
unerwartet hier ein unge profilbild zu sehen lol
Greatest band to ever exist.
thanks
The lyrics are carved into my heart man
when is jeff mangum covering moon song
This is one of those songs where not only does every line work together into the song perfectly, but also tells an entire story on its own. IMO the greatest song ever written, and this was a beautiful cover.
One of the saddest songs ever recorded. So glad to see Phoebe did a cover of it.
I'm going to die over how perfect this is
how did she make it sadder than the original? didn’t think that was possible
Melanie the original was more manic than sad. The song is a plea.
@@marshall1oo627 nice take. I actually like when things don't 'compliment' regardlessly. Sort of like how sad people irl might come off as optimistic.
Still a nice cover.
I don’t I think it sounds sadder because she sounds detached to herself and the situation, like she’s observing everything from outside her body. Like yeah it’s happening to her but at the same time it’s not
She doesn't she's acting
Nah original is leaps and bounds better
pheobe is truly someone special. this song to my knowledge hasnt been covered certainly less popular and holy fuck she killed it. im incredibly greatful to know an artist whos just as good as her.
I used to listen to this whole album every night. Got me through some shit.
Holy shit I have a neutral milk hotel tattoo I love Jeff mangum. I recently fell in love with stranger in the alps/Phoenee Bridgers. As a teenager (around 2004-2006 when I was 14 to 16) driving in cars with my friends we always played the in the aeroplane over the sea album. Thanks Phoebe for appreciating such great songwriting.

What's ur tattoo?
@@ewancoulbeckmusic The flying phonograph on my left upper deltoid.
@@michaelinglis8516 that's amazing man
I was going through covers of NMH songs and I'm glad I found this, her voice is really one of the most interesting and expressive ones.
ruclips.net/video/RluN0l4orOU/видео.html I really like this one, IT's very much the opposite of jeff.
Any others you'd recommend?
One of the best covers I've heard of this song.
I usually dont like when a really pretty voice covers NMH, the rawness is part of what makes the original work so well but this compliments nicely.
the thing that makes her able to do it imo is that her voice is very raw, but also very pretty and light
this might the single best cover of, not only neutral milk hotel, but any song ever.
Can’t shake the stranger out of you cover by Andrew Savage
The fact that she's covering this makes me just love her more. Absolute pleasure to hear
I like how the tone is changed from the bitter melancholia that Mangum’s wailing plea brings on the original track. This version is still sad (it is Phoebe Bridgers) but it’s a more sweet melancholia with the slow electric guitar and Phoebes more smooth vocal delivery again compared to Mangums performance.
I never thought I'd hear a NMH cover and actually like it this much.. Wow!
It's totally cool that I've been waiting for this cover my whole life and didn't know until right at this moment.
That’s such a beautiful sentiment, man. I guess that’s how every moment is. It’s one thing to know that, but it’s an entirely different thing to feel it. It’s moments like this that really show us
I’ve been listening to phoebe for like a year but just found Nuetral milk hotel and I can’t believe I’ve found this
this song always gives me chills, this version even more
Love that this isn't trying to be Jeff M. It's just a masterful cover. *holding back my tears
Never hold back
My first ever depression comfort artist gets covered by my most recent depression comfort artist. What more could you ask for.
Not to be depressed so regularly.
No ill intent intended... like I'm right, right?
Interesting to see that she performed this song (which appears on an album directly inspired by Anne Franks ‘Diary Of A Young Girl’) on a dutch radio station in Amsterdam, the state Anne Frank was raised and where the annexe that Anne Frank and her family occupied while they were in hiding was.
Not that interesting
@@jeffs1546 i second this
Travis Carver Sources?
Ben Main
Go to bitchute and search “Anne frank diary hoax.”
RUclips keeps deleting it.
It’s a fact of life her diary is not her authentic self.

i'm not crying you're crying
i'm lying, i am currently bawling
Whenever I feel anxious, I listen to this cover. It calms me down. Thank you
time is cruel, we're all dying. good cover though
Mood bro
I’d say you went there, but we’re all there. Until we’re not. Take care
❤️
omg wtf. she made a cover of this song???? how have i not seen this yet!!!
been really getting into Neutral Milk Hotel the past few months, and only a couple days ago first listened to some of Phoebe’s music. Now this is in my recommended and i couldn’t be happier. incredible cover
Before watching: Ugh she's just gonna turn this into a lullaby like she does every song
After watching: Best lullaby ever
Going through a hard time and have been listening to your cover a lot. I feel awful but I feel like this gives me a little hope for the future
just got into listening to NMH and as a huge phoebe fan this is absolutely perfect
It's the only song that I absolutely hate listening to due to the way it makes me feel but my ears can't stop hearing the beauty in it.
Phoebe is very talented, has a great voice and gives this song her all, which further proves NMH is impossible to cover
Love your covers Phoebe. You've led me to all kinds of great stuff!
Funny how it says they filmed this in Holland
should've included the chair squeeking at the end
I keep returning to this from the old and new accounts. Seemingly apt.
Pass op ihm op. D'r Typ hat eine Bipolare Störung.
I'm a huge NMH from back in the day; and in all honestly, I prefer this to the original. The vocals are so ridiculously on point, it's just utterly beautiful. Well done!

@@jesseweneedtocook Yeah its not necessarily that this cover is bad - the vocals are really good, its just that Jeff's singing was A LOT more soulful.
Sweet yet so so melancholic, beautiful
this song is so beautiful
intense goosebumps at 3:10
I’m still here
I cried to this song
Humans with empathic abilities are amazing!
so good
How the fuck have I not seen this. I think I came just from looking at the title, oh shit it started. Now I actually came. Wow.
such a lovely cover
My dog’s favorite song, I rock him to sleep to this :)
that is so cute omg :(
God is a place you will wait for the rest of your life
Transcends music. beautiful
Soft and sweet
I wish this was on streaming platforms, it’s so damn good
Just beautiful.
Beautiful Phoebem

Uma bela voz pra essa magnífica canção.
Abraços do Brasil 🇧🇷.

Oh this is just beautiful. I love it
I'm in awe. That was amazing.

i love her
This is magic.
WowowoW...Very beautiful! So glad I clicked on this!
Okay algorithm I fuckin know you want me to hear this JEEEEZUS CHRIST (I love you yes I do)
Beautiful
omg this is perfect dude
im in love
Gabriel Lee same
This and Death Cabs cover of King of Carrot Flowers pt 1 really make me want a NMH cover album
She covers really good shit
This makes me feel like im out in irish country drinking whiskey and lost
I love this so much
I sure feel badly for all those many people who haven't heard this.
Damn this is incredible. Does Phoebe ever perform this live?
i dont know
The Neutral Milk Hotel/Jeff Mangum version taps into our masculine gruffness version, while Phoebe's version taps into our feminine aspect. Either way, they are both wonderful and helpful to the human psyche, because the lyrics are so deeply meaningful in the way they can be interpreted.
everything Bridgers touches turns to gold
how have i never heard this
AWESOME!!
GOATED
Amazing!
Oh my god I love this
She is so fucking beautiful
This cant be topped I wont lie
Hell yes
Fantastic
WHY AM I ONLY JUST FINDING OUT THIS EXISTS
Daddy, please, hear this song that I sing
In your heart there's a spark that just screams
For a lover to bring a child to your chest that could lay as you sleep
And love all you have left like your boy used to be
Long ago wrapped in sheets warm and wet
Blister, please, with those wings in your spine
Love to be with a brother of mine
How he'd love to find your tongue in his teeth

Two headed boy, she is all you could need
She will feed you tomatoes and radio wires
And retire to sheets safe and clean
But don't hate her when she gets up to leave
dude WOW
Anyone knows which chords Phoebe use in this version?. It sounds much sadder than the original
capo 3rd fret transposed +2 on the guitar tab version (A,G,F#m)
when the male manipulator meets the female manipulator
THIS FUCKING EXISTS?!?!?!
Brand New introduced me to this band.
"Reaaaadyyyyytt" hit different
Yes
she sounds like a female Phil Elverum and i love it
