Phoebe Bridgers @ Brooklyn Steel | Pitchfork Live

[@immossi]

I keep expecting to eventually get bored of listening to Stranger In The Alps, but every time I listen to it, it’s like I’m falling in love with it all over again. As sad as some of the songs are, it soothes me completely.

[@tylerfrench8122]

Interestingly, that's what a lot of reviewers have written; that she writes sad lyrics but their balanced by a feeling of...I don't know, serenity? Not sure the word to use, but soothing works perfectly actually.

[@jenniferdonnelly1445]

Tyler French I think that Elliott Smith’s music has the same quality.

[@EricCoomerMusic]

I've listened to "Scott Street" many times but just now picked up that the drums kick in as she sings "I asked how is playing drums..". Absolutely a brilliant and subtle detail that was included in the writing/progression of the song.

[@ninamarie177]

I love it when artists add these small details. In ICU the drums stop for a moment after she sings “now I can’t even get you to play the drums”

14:52 is an amazing crescendo and brought me to tears. After that point there is so much power and emotion in her voice and the band. I simply love Phoebe Bridgers and her music. It has really grown on me and she is really talented and cares about her music. I can't say that about most new artists. She is new, unique and just simply amazing; I relate to almost all of her songs.

[@1974HondaCB350F]

Dude. Her cover of You Missed My Heart is unreal. Just so so good. I wish the line "downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyard" went on for hours and hours. Also, props to her guitarist Harrison. That dude knows how to add to a song without taking anything away from it.

[@NathanSmithsnakeoil]

Feels like she made this whole album just for me. I'm in love with it. Thanks Phoebe

[@PeterGorla]

00:30 **Smoke Signals** "Smoke Signals" is inspired by the emotional turmoil Phoebe Bridgers felt after losing a close friend, and the lyrics contain references to significant events in her life, including the death of her father. 06:50 **Funeral** Bridgers wrote "Funeral" after attending the funeral of a friend who passed away due to an overdose. The song reflects her own feelings of depression and the complex emotions tied to mourning. 11:10 **Georgia** "Georgia" was one of the earliest songs Phoebe Bridgers wrote, and it has been a fan favorite since its debut, even though it was never officially released on an album until much later. 16:30 **Demi Moore** The title "Demi Moore" is a reference to the famous actress, but the song itself is about the loneliness that comes with a one-sided, unreciprocated love, often amplified by the digital world. 21:05 **Killer** Killer" delves into the darker side of love and obsession, with lyrics that explore themes of emotional manipulation and the destructive nature of unhealthy relationships. 24:30 **Scott Street** "Scott Street" is a reflection on the passing of time and the inevitable changes in relationships. The song is named after a street in Los Angeles, adding a personal touch to the story Bridgers tells. 32:25 **Motion Sickness** "Motion Sickness" is one of Bridgers' most well-known songs, rumored to be about her tumultuous relationship with fellow musician Ryan Adams. The song addresses the power dynamics and emotional fallout of that relationship. 37:10 **You Missed My Heart** This song is actually a cover of a song by Mark Kozelek (Sun Kil Moon). Bridgers' version on her album adds a haunting, stripped-down interpretation that has been widely praised for its emotional depth.

The violinist in this performance is Camille Faulkner. She was mostly Julien Baker's recording and touring bandmate, but Julien, Phoebe, and Lucy Dacus meshed their bands together for this tour.
