Better Oblivion Community Center - Didn't Know What I Was in For (Live on KEXP)

[@Jordaine97]

“I’ve really never done anything for anyone. To fall asleep I need white noise to distract me. Otherwise I have to listen to me think. Otherwise, I pace around, hold breath, let it out, sit on the couch and think about how living’s just a promise that I made.” every time ..

[@ceciliaduran8276]

this song is so heartbreakingly true

[@jeremyacton4569]

Excellent song, excellent delivery. Songwriters that can write good poetry and intelligent lyrical content are gold. You have a fan in Cape Town, South Africa.

[@staygold902]

Unreal performance. Pheobe is the best singer songwriter of her generation ❤️

[@Koshirozation]

phoebes knows every knot of my heart

[@TheFossilBloodOfTheMoon]

Somehow the lines"got a job and I work here for the summer/ I fold the towels &set them by the pool" always have me tear up

[@olojondro73]

Unreal how good they sound live

[@sewingwithcia3812]

My telephone, it doesn't have a camera If it did I'd take a picture of myself If it did I'd take a picture of the water And the man on the offramp Holding up the sign that's asking me for help I got a job and I'll work here for the summer I fold the towels and set them by the pool Everyone looks happy with each other 'Til they step away and say the thing they really meant They always sound so cruel I didn't know what I was in for When I signed up for that run There's no way I'm curing cancer But I'll sweat it out I feel so proud now for all the good I've done I know a girl who owns a boutique in the city Selling clothes to the fashionably late Says she cries at the news but doesn't really 'Cause it's too much fun, it's too much time And too much plastic money to be made I didn't know what I was in for When they took my belt and strings They told me I'd gone crazy My arms are strapped in a straight jacket So I couldn't save those TV refugees When they're on their backs In a bloody bath Full of Sarin gas On a screen I didn't know what I was in for When I laid out in the sun We get burned for being honest I've really never done anything, for anyone To fall asleep I need white noise to distract me Otherwise I have to listen to me think Otherwise I pace around, hold my breath, let it out Sit on the couch and think about How living's just a promise that I made

[@searows-music]

3:09 ...slaps...emotionally

[@andrewivanyi1793]

Gives me chills everytime

[@Fernando-yf4co]

Just beautiful, from the begining to the end..., that “for” is just amazing

[@rachelkbanks]

L7

[@lucaspickering-nh1ou]

the way she crinkles her face when she sings it.... incredible

[@anythingtopassthetime]

still the most goated performance of all time

[@matthull5744]

The song fucks me up in the best way. Also, CLH is bring some new life to this song with slide skills. This version is straight up hot fire. Just when I thought it couldn’t be more perfect. Wow.

[@artomarto679]

Love this and was lucky to see them in Manchester and Dublin in the same week, it was just before PB became so popular here in Ireland for some reason..

[@ianmitchell5169]

Pure magic.

[@chrishirecat]

Phoebe's eyebrows though... Slaying

[@LAVISHING]

Thanks! I love you guys! I’ll see you guys in Milwaukee July 19th, 2023!

[@raindaresmusic]

[@deprivalli]

absolutely incredibly unreal

[@jelliedevries8134]

does anyone have thoughts on the lyrics? would love to hear em

[@michaelfrew1824]

The lyrics to this song are so heartbreaking.

[@kubrickking5101]

I saw the masterpiece

[@stewarttaggart7764]

1K "likes" ?!? This really is the darkest timeline...

[@DeeWeber]

Phoebe!

[@JR-rn5sh]

sounds like broken social scene and tom petty mixed together.

[@j_wah3084]

Don't you taint Tom Petty like that! XD

[@jamescanavan57]

Does anyone know what the guitarist is holding against the strings at 0:48 ? I know the other one is a slide but i cant quite see whats in the other and i really like the sound

[@janesandenberghdutoit]

That's the incredible Christian Lee Hutson ❤️❤️❤️ do yourself a favour and check out his music. It's fantastic. Phoebe produced his album.

[@jatsingh3198]

It's called an e-bow. Basically the device creates a magnetic drive that vibrates the string, producing a smooth continuous sound. It's a really cool tool.

[@marishnosh]

This gave me goosies 😮

[@nicktaylor5264]

That chorus just utterly fucking destroys me. Jesus.

[@jlcfinishcarpentry]

Pretty good. Whos the guy w the long hair? His voice is interesting

[@zarek4444]

Billy ray cyrus

[@teammoss4876]

It`s Conor Oberst. This is a real answer, not a joke.

[@nicks_wild_life]

Conor Oberst, lead singer of bright eyes, he has his own music as well. He really does have a unique voice, one of my all time favorite artists honestly.

[@brianfarrell7248]

Who’s that drummer?

[@daveyramone]

Griffin Goldsmith of Dawes

[@j_wah3084]

Who's on drums tho?

[@davis267]

Griffin Goldsmith from Dawes

[@TheFossilBloodOfTheMoon]

Came here to see how Emily is doing those slides (those slides!), but, no, they didn't film that 😕

[@hockeyobsessed39]

Where is the full session?

[@ShanesSquirrelShack]

Tom it’s uploaded now on the channel

[@hockeyobsessed39]
