His reaction to Scott Street and Funeral unlocked feelings I haven’t felt in a hot minute. I used to wake up so sad every day.

[@coastalcrone5]

sounds like you’re not waking up so sad anymore. me too, man. it’ll all work out.

[@orion.the.pathman]

god this comment made me cry. I used to wake up sad every day too. I can't believe that I don't wake up sad every day now, I can't believe that I'm not filled with dread when I realise I have to exist through another day. still have my bad weeks but fucking hell things are so much better now.

[@orion.the.pathman]

now I'm thinking about how convinced I was that there was no escape, that it was that hollow numb feeling forever or death and I just want to hug my past self because I was just a kid and I hated the world and myself so damn much. I'm crying

Stranger in the alps and punisher literally changed my life, they made me reflect on my life more than therapy.

[@karliulias3623]

i was SO taken by surprise to see this upload but SO INCREDIBLY HAPPY. the cut to you sobbing on the couch with your arms crossed is so funny i almost peed. in my opinion phoebe is one of the best songwriters of our generation and i don’t think she gets enough credit. don’t get me wrong, she gets credit, but not enough. she has an effortless talent of portraying imagery for her songs through words and she always makes you feel harder than you expect in a uncomfortable but comfortable way. i love everything she’s ever put out. love your reactions - they’re always the perfect mix of humor and genuine thought/review. and your editing is always top notch. side note - i hope we have a new billie album reaction coming 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 it’s SO good dude.

[@JennaLoomar]

The use of violin in all of her songs, this album and Punisher, just strike me right in the gut. There’s so much emotion conveyed there

[@-_elijah_-]

also I noticed that smoke signals annotation on genius is kinda silly lol. Yes art is open to interpretation but why were they mentioning mythology and etymology of pelicans lol. Phoebe is the type of writer to give you a situation, then use a bunch of descriptive language to paint a picture. She is comparing this lost lover looking for her to a person lost on an island throwing smoke signals in hopes of finding a saviour lol.

[@bellasycheva6636]

Troy, you might also like Phoebe's performance of Killer with Noah and Gabby Gundersen. It's a mashup of "Killer" and their song "The Sound". I can't expresss what this song makes me feel. For me, it's similar to Chinese Satellite.

Funeral is one of my go to songs when I feel a deep sadness/the need to cry, but I can't access those emotions easily by myself so I put on music to help me release them, funeral brings tears to my eyes 9 out of 10 times. So devastating. I love it

[@mayral7230]

"Coming up lavender" is referencing her favorite songwriter's song "Coming Up Roses" by Elliott Smith. And when you bury A hatchet, it means, two or more people in a fight have made peace. But she sings "I buried THE hatchet", and lavender, in the language of flowers, means distrust. So "coming up roses" would be a good thing. "coming up lavender" is not. I feel like she's finishing the song explaining there's really no closure in the relationship. And, by the way, the "growling" you hear when Bowie is mentioned is actually a sample from his song "Moss Garden", in the album "Heroes". It's actually the sound of a rocketship.
