This song is really really really important to a small group of people and she did it justice.

ME TOOOOO

[@ilikerice5208]

Am very glad people are still obsessing over neutral milk hotel.

[@taylorbrown3893]

Haha same. I dropped my phone, walked away, and came back to make sure it was real.

[@asleep23c]

mmhm me too

[@onetenthhero]

Love this! Now I just wish she’d cover the whole of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

[@HolyHubcap]

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.

[@garbotix8228]

what is wrong with you people

[@HolyHubcap]

Garrett S. White what do you mean?

[@Overasc]

Garrett S. White LOL

[@BLUEWALDOMUSIC]

Couldn’t disagree more

[@williammyers1088]

How does it capture Jeff Mangum's spirit, bro

[@videosefilmes22]

“In my dreams you’re alive and you’re crying”, and now I’m crying too

[@Tanuem]

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.

[@lindsayschmidt2177]

One of the saddest songs ever recorded. So glad to see Phoebe did a cover of it.

[@griffinoconnor1523]

Anybody else notice how the bars on the equalizer line up with the wood panels on the wall when they get taller?

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.

[@drearyerie8504]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJ3Yf2OiadSlhbc I really like this one, IT's very much the opposite of jeff.

[@zoebillingham8885]

Any others you'd recommend?

[@DouglasRosser]

I used to listen to this whole album every night. Got me through some shit.

[@heather5028]

how did she make it sadder than the original? didn’t think that was possible

[@marshall1oo627]

Melanie the original was more manic than sad. The song is a plea.

[@jsr7599]

@@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.

[@DancingTilDawn]

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

[@williammyers1088]

She doesn't she's acting

[@deathtopiavirtuososuicide-8736]

Nah original is leaps and bounds better

[@MrShahid0072]

I never thought I'd hear a NMH cover and actually like it this much.. Wow!

[@michaelinglis8516]

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.

[@Blackoutproject]

The fact that she's covering this makes me just love her more. Absolute pleasure to hear

[@dirtsonofearth2021]

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.

[@Zacharysharkhazard]

the thing that makes her able to do it imo is that her voice is very raw, but also very pretty and light

[@asdfgidji879]

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.

[@commandingsteel]

this song always gives me chills, this version even more

[@vanyachairunissa5924]

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

It's totally cool that I've been waiting for this cover my whole life and didn't know until right at this moment.

[@ryanblakey1695]

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

[@joexkid9059]

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

[@shadowplayer11.86]

Whenever I feel anxious, I listen to this cover. It calms me down. Thank you

[@UncleAnaesthesia]

Devastatingly great.

[@danielesposito5051]

Between this and the Daniel Johnston cover she did I can listen to these songs forever. Just as impactful and emotional as the originals.

[@ghostboy1564]

this might the single best cover of, not only neutral milk hotel, but any song ever.

[@hellothere2464]

just got into listening to NMH and as a huge phoebe fan this is absolutely perfect

[@bobwerber2984]

Love your covers Phoebe. You've led me to all kinds of great stuff!

[@eleanorelmore]

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.

[@downhome7500]

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.

[@sharpshooter33]

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

[@drunkaviator81]

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]

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.

[@archivedmanny]

@@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.

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 Sources?

[@traviscarver4708]

Ben Main Go to bitchute and search “Anne frank diary hoax.” KZbin keeps deleting it. It’s a fact of life her diary is not her authentic self.

[@benmain7821]

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.

[@DJPach]

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.
