Phoebe Bridgers - Scott Street (Live on KEXP)

Hugh Bridgers Hi Hugh, any relation to Phoebe? I love her! I’m an old Jackson Browne fan and know she Phoebe has said she was influenced by JB and Joni Mitchell. I grew up around the corner from Pasadena and feel that kinship as well. She’s a unique young lady and I’ve noticed her growth since her first record. If your not her dad, oh well 😔 I put it out there anyway.

Says a lot more about the audio engineer and the dude that mixed this.

[@riely94]

This is a mixed recording. There's two audio engineers involved in working on it post-recording. KEXP is often closer to studio than live - but that's not taking anything away from this performance, because it's great live too.

[@sunlightangel87]

At 37 now, the age my mom was when she started losing: classmates. Childhood icons. the elderly relatives of her childhood. So far I've lost: my middle school best friend. My grandma. An uncle. Two cousins. Several childhood teachers. Classmates' parents who were like parents to me. Several childhood celebrity icons. Additionally, my middle school got demolished. Gone is the playing field where my now-departed friend and I used to play softball on the softball team, and where my grandma used to sit in the stands watching and applauding and bringing cookies for the team. Went on a Google Images tour through my hometown and didn't recognize it but somehow I knew where I was going, even though several landmarks have been demolished or built into something else. Saw my grandma's house. 1 acre of property split in half and about to become apartment homes. Neighbors moved away or died, their homes now belong to others and many look different, new paint jobs, new additions, etc. Half a block away a whole row of houses some of which classmates lived in have been razed and became a Walgreens. Two more houses belonging to classmates now razed and they built a bank on top of where those houses stood. I now understand how my grandma felt when she was walking me on a tour through the neighborhood where she grew up and pointed out where her friends used to live, where their demolished houses used to be. I now understand how my mom felt whenever she'd turn on the news and say "oh no, oh no" every now and then from hearing yet another childhood icon passed away, or saw another obituary of a classmate in the paper, and how those infrequent "oh-no"s became daily. This is what happens when you become a stranger. A stranger in your hometown, a stranger in your own life, and you look in the mirror and you realize you're the same person, but you're not the same person. This song hit me hard. It was a reminder that everything I had, took for granted, thought I'd see tomorrow, is not here anymore. And as time passes, I will lose more and more of everything I recognize, as I become someone else. Still me, but a version of me that came upon me before I realized it was even happening.

[@_zh3ro_]

this song makes me think of the greatest person i have ever met in my life

belated happy birthday, sir! God bless po

[@nanah846]

i'm still young but oh my god does this song make me feel so old. it's like looking back on times you were happy, and although i'm much better now mentally, i'd give anything to be there again. to just be pure and have no self judgment and self hatred circling in the back of my mind. back to moments with those people you loved most, telling each other you'd be best friends forever, and all the things you'd do growing old together. and now there not in your life anymore. you don't know their favorite song, favorite food, favorite place, favorite clothes, favorite people, because things change. and it's the fact that things change so quickly is what's scary. i don't know what's going to happen in my future, and that's okay. thank you phoebe for making this masterpiece a reality.

[@antonioacevedo634]

Yea.. it’s crazy… I had this friend I had met back in 2019… we barely talked.. then picked up conversation in September of 2020… at first we kinda just figured we’d fool around… obviously that never works… we had fallen deeply in love very rapidly, and we had a beautiful thing for a little less than a year… beings I was so immature and not ready to show her my true love, I had messed around behind her… not realizing that what I was doing would damage not only my life but hers… and everyone else involved… now I have a 1 year old son and she’s expecting in October… we’ve both “moved on” but around the end of last year we had started talking again.. even seeing each other one last time in January… she had sent me the last text saying “I’m so confused… and I really don’t know what to do, and I really want your help” that was her last text man… about a month or two after that I had seen on her Facebook that she’s expecting in October… this is all so crazy man… she’s with her child’s father and I have a kid with someone else… it’s so crazy… only about 4 years ago had we met through her brother… now we both live separate lives with new motives and new goals….❤️‍🩹I know we’ll never get our happy ending, but in the end all I want is for her to find peace within herself… she blamed herself for my mistakes… made her feel she wasn’t good enough.. I feel like total shit every day thinking about it… she deserves the world and then some…. I’m just so stupid for wasting my Chance with her… we had a pure connection with each other… I still feel as though our souls are still bond together…. But honestly I can just be delusional… I hope she lives her life KNOWING she is ENOUGH.. I hope she doesn’t think she has to settle for less… I have a good feeling the guy she’s with is not going to stick around much long after she has their kid… my intuition is pretty good to be honest… and that scares me

Walking Scott Street, feeling like a stranger With an open heart, open container I've got a stack of mail and a tall can It's a shower beer it's a payment plan There's helicopters over my head Every night when I go to bed Spending money and I earned it When I'm lonely, that's when I'll burn it Do you feel ashamed When you hear my name I asked you "How is your sister? I heard she got her degree" And I said, "That makes me feel old" You said, "What does that make me?" I asked you "How is playing drums?" You said it's too much shit to carry "And what about the band?" You said they're all getting married Do you feel ashamed When you hear my name Anyway, don't be a stranger Anyway, don't be a stranger Don't be a stranger

This is beautiful. This song has a beautiful place in my heart. Found this song in late 2022 when my dad was dying from cancer. I knew he wouldn’t see me make it to my 20th Birthday in February 2023 so this song just felt like a warm embrace of “you’ll move onto your adult life without a father but with a lot of happy memories and emotions behind you”. I still listen to Scott street in my car on full blast and it hits me just as much as the first time I heard it. This song makes me feel bitter sweet but I will never get sick of hearing it, especially that last part with the “oooohhhhhh”. Love you dad. Rest well 🕊️

Thank you Life Is Strange for introducing me to this beautiful soul. In the game, this songs plays when you play a record in the record store and usually I'd just skip it and continue playing, but when I heard this, I had to play it back twice and look up Phoebe. So glad I found this song and her.

Look up the oldie, but goodie "Here Comes A Regular" by The Replacements. The intro acoustic riff has that same "quietly letting go in the midst of the crushing loneliness and despair" feel to it. It's really rare that there are people like Phoebe and Paul Westerberg that put so much honesty and raw emotion into their songs. Most songwriters hold back, at least a little, but I prefer when they don't.

This song really seems to ring true to me and gets me chocked up every time I hear it. I have been diagnosed with congestive heart failure at the age of 31 due to complications with some exercises i did throughout my late 20's. I swear this song hits on so many levels and if anyone is out there going through the same thing I just want people to know that your life is yours. You can't please everyone and it's best to just be yourself and be unapologetic about it. I love everyone that has supported me through the years and i just want to hope for the best but I know how these thing end up. I hope others get inspiration from this song to keep going and keep trying. I know one day this will be something in which theres a solution. I just hope people keep that in mind and look for the bright spots in all of the darkness that surrounds us.
