Phoebe Bridgers changed my life

[@evie1903]

i personally thinks it shows how great of a father son relationship they have because they didn’t understand kyoto 😭

Album of the year I don't care if it's from 2020

[@spacegalaxy19]

realest thing i’ve ever heard

[@pamlvstay13]

Album of a lifetime

[@karliulias3623]

real

[@chelsealynne07]

I was so upset that y'all didn't understand kyoto but then I realized it's probably because you guys have a good parent-child relationship 😭 wish I could relate LMAO

[@faith4858]

I was getting a little frustrated you guys didn't understand Kyoto, but then I realized that you guys have this channel because you have a good parent-child relationship lmao, happy you liked the album!!

[@AllTheArtsy]

the first time with I Know the End is really something

[@li_ryd]

And the hundredth time is even better

[@riotinvictus]

The only song I have ever cried to and I’ve listened to thousands of albums. This song feels like hugging your loved one during the end of the world

[@efrencascante4926]

fun fact: by listening to Graceland Too you've officially listened to your first boygenius song! Boygenius is Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus, all three sing in Graceland Too which is a song about Julien. So if you liked that one, you'll love The Record!

[@aprildodgers4265]

Yes!

[@ididntknowtheyhadwifiinhell]

they're also all on I Know The End!

[@malalias3772]

Pleaseeeeee put me on to more songs like not strong enough because I'm obsessed with that song and the strummynesss of it

[@anastasiakinz]

@@malalias3772 idk if it's similar in terms of strummyness but true blue is another beautiful song by boygenius

[@Iluvreading-sg6wg]

@@malalias3772 I would suggest most of the songs from The Record!! Maybe you should try listening to $20 and True Blue (since those are more popular) and see what you like from there :))

[@dennsterr]

a cool detail to moon song: when phoebe says "and if i could give you the moon, i would give you the moon" shes talking about multiple things here, but one of them being giving this person all of herself. the name phoebe is actually a latinized form of the greek name "phoibe". which is the name of a greek titan associated with the moon. its such a layered lyric its so cool

[@earlisonline]

this and folklore are my pandemic depression duo (i listen to folklore in the morning and this at night)

[@calyope1438]

ur so reall!!! love it

[@gss0708]

The record by boygenius, the boygenius EP, & Stranger in the Alps (Phoebe’s first album) are ALL worth a listen. So so good

[@ididntknowtheyhadwifiinhell]

and the second boygenius EP The Rest!

[@siveyy74]

I know the end is a masterpiece. Its like the whole album is building up waiting for release and bam i know the end hits and she lets everything go. Phoebe is a poet and storyteller

[@deirdre_doodle]

i highly recommend watching a live performance of "i know the end". i got to see her on her tour for this album and the chaos of the band onstage really hits

[@mightymike9469]

Just watched an old SNL episode👀

[@melinaseddon561]

The title is so real because Phoebe’s music is truly life changing

[@annasophieb.734]

Oh to experience Phoebe for the first time again. She’s special. Her writing and instrumentation, her singing style, it’s all just so well crafted and fitting. Y’all are gonna love Boygenius and her first record (I hope you check those out, even if it’s just on your own time and not for the channel!)

[@meleh_m]

Phoebe (trauma dumps about her alcoholic father who’s not present trying to make amends, and her having a hard time forgiving him) Put you on: it’s such a fun song, I love how she throws random stuff out there…it’s really not a serious song just something fun.

[@maxinpink]

Hearing this album for the first time is spiritual. I Know The End still makes me cry every single time

[@mafxot]

I know the end is one of my favorite songs to ever exist

[@anastasiakinz]

you're so correct for that

[@hannahb7711]

wow y’all would LOVE Hozier. Haven’t been the same since I first got into his music, his new album Unreal Unearth is absolutely incredible. Heart wrenching lyrics and such a beautiful voice

[@chelsealynne07]

album of the year, every year, forever

[@notemcoates]

please PLEASE do stranger in the alps and boy genius. graceland too is my favourite song ever, it makes me so emotional because after all the hardships they’ve been through in their lives, being sat with their friend on mdma eating saltines looking at the moon was enough to make them realise there are things and people to live for. even if it’s just a tiny second of happiness. the song is also rumoured to be about boy genius bandmate, julien.

[@DoubleDeckerCoffin]

Graceland Too is one of the best in her entire discography (in my biased opinion) and it hurts on a personal level that some people write it off because they hear what is basically a country song

[@riotinvictus]

This album has been on repeat everyday for 4 years. It’s a masterpiece and I’m so excited for your reactions

[@jturn314]

Everything Phoebe touches is gold. Listen to her other album asap, and the Boygenious album is immaculate.

[@a.rianna28]

You should definitely react to The Record by Boygenius!! I'm sure you'd love it

[@worldsbiggestholdthegirlfan]

Boygenius has my favorite album of 2023 (next to Hozier’s Unreal Unearth)

[@josefmn]

plus stranger in the alps 🙏

[@samanthawoodcock8135]

Yes check out Boygenius!!! And her other albums. She is an insanely good songwriter. I’m so glad you guys gave it a listen!

[@benjnorth]

fr one of the greatest albums ever idc

[@karlamichelle9663]

I am a hardcore swiftie but this is the BEST ALBUM we've had this past decade. You guys will love stranger in the alps as well. Love yall!!!!!! Thanks for all this great content.

[@aprildodgers4265]

Finally!!! Yes, please do Boygenius, The Record! Phoebe said in an interview that Graceland Too is a Boygenius song. I've seen Phoebe live at the Greek in LA after this album came out. I believe the reference in Halloween is about Brian Stowe, a Giants fan, who was horribly beaten outside of Dodger stadium. I saw Billie as well, and she brought Phoebe out for Motion sickness...Billie also brought out Boygenius in London to sing When the Partys Over. Boygenius is a supergroup, and that isn't saying enough... we saw them twice this year (my husband and I who are 50 yo). Listen to their EP, The Record, and the Rest. Also, Phoebes Stranger in the Alps. Sorry, but I'm not sorry for a disjointed yet genuine comment. Better Oblivion Community Center is great too, another band Phoebe is in.

[@alliekauffmann7976]

I'll never forget listening to this after being shut in due to covid and weeping on my couch. I saw her in concert in 2021 and it was one of the first shows I saw post lock down. It was one of the most cathartic and meaningful experiences of my life. I'll never forget that night. This album is my favorite piece she's created.

[@lewiswoodhall]

both of her albums are really good!! :)

[@leondaprofessor]

This album is peak music. So grateful y’all decided to listen to Phoebe last minute. I’m excited for your “Stranger in the Alps” reaction

[@jenb_3048]

This whole album is perfection

[@chloe_b9467]

sooo glad you got round to this, she is just amazing. boygenius is wonderful too, the record is such a beautiful album, i couldn't recommend it enough. another non-phoebe related project you should check out is 'songs' by adrianne lenker. she's one of the most incredible songwriters and vocalists right now, her lyrics are so unique and the music is spell-binding!

[@haleymdennison]

if you like tragic heartbreaking albums, you should def listen to Preachers Daughter by Ethel Cain. It is a concept album and tells a horribly tragic story if you listen front to back. Lots of lore, but most of the genius annotations are direct quotes and explanations from the artist herself. Mindblowing production and storytelling. Highly reccomend it.

[@maisierogers6020]

this is the only phoebe bridgers album i’ve given a proper chance and it’s probably one of my most listened to albums ever i just keep coming back to it - it’s one of those you just want to listen to with good headphones in a dark room and just experience it but then also you want to run in the rain with this as the soundtrack (have done - recommend) because it’s just incredible. you should really look into the lyrics and the subject/meaning of kyoto and chinese satellite - a couple of my personal favourites that REALLY hit harder once you get it. and i know the end truly is just one of the best songs i’ve ever heard i’m glad you agreed! always love when you guys react to one of my favourite albums it’s so much fun and i love that you loved this one!! would love to hear your thoughts after a few listens and how much more you appreciate it!!

[@oh.sorry.dont.mind.meeeee]

it's one of your "most listened to albums ever" yet you still haven't gone back and checked out her debut album that won Grammys? 😅 what are ya waitin' for, silly? get on it! 😉🤭

Definitely take the time to check out her first album Stranger in the Alps as well, it’s one of my all time favorite records.

[@lauracosta32]

she is def my fav singer!!!!! her first album is pretty sad but pretty good too :)

[@tallkhoon]

I have listened to this album probably a hundred times, but listening to Graceland too and I know the end with you gave me chills all over again!

[@cheyennamarshall1334]

I am excited for you guys to possibly get into her other projects, such as Boygenius (the other members of the band are singing on Graceland too), Better Oblivion Community Project (with Bright Eyes, or Connor Oberst, who she dated and sings on some of this album), and then her bandmate Lucy Dacus, who I think would make you cry a lot and has one of the most beautiful voices and poetic writing styles I've heard. I've been waiting for you guys to react to Phoebe for so long!!!! You didn't disappoint

[@cristinabaeza5163]

graceland too actually has backing vocals from the two other boygenius members! i think you'd enjoy their album SO much!

[@karliulias3623]

“i love the horns” - during kyoto me knowing “i know the end” exists 😏 this album is on my best albums of all time list and it’s number one. it’s truly unbelievable if you really take in all parts - sonically, melodically, lyrically, emotionally. it’s a masterpiece. i can listen to this for the 600th time and still feel impressed.

[@cyds.726]

All of her collaborations are amazing in addition to her solo stuff. I’d also recommend her collaboration with Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes, Better Oblivion Community Center.

[@ashmac7877]

The “wow” at the ending line of Moon Song. Yes. Yep. I feel that every time.

[@danarodriguez3816]

love the way you guys reacted to this! would love to see you react to a mitski album especially be the cowboy! they’re quite different artists but there’s a lot of overlap in phoebe bridgers and mitski fans :)

[@samnajle]

OH MY GOD !!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU

[@sarahthewicked]

i know the end is one of my favorite songs of all time. the emotional catharsis at the end is such an intense experience and i think that completely summarizes the feel of the entire album wrapped up into a beautiful ending. please listen to the record by boygenius, the song “not strong enough” has a very similar feel

[@christyhansell853]

BRO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE

[@juliawarren847]

Checking out boygenius' "the record" definitely is worth it! But heads up, "Letter To An Old Poet" hits harder if you listen to "Me and My Dog" (a song from their first EP) first. Because both are connected musically and lyrically. Also, "the rest" is an Ep that they put out after dropping "the record", and it has some AMAZING four songs that should have been in the album, but were cut/ not included in the end. "Black Hole" is a trip.

[@SHATX1111]

Every time I see reactors I respect processing Phoebe’s lyrics and fall in love by the second, I get tears in my eyes. EVERY SINGLE TIME! “Stranger in the Alps” and Boygenius next plz

[@katrineserop5500]

This is just one of the most incredible albums of newer time!

[@soupsimps9084]

you guys should definitely listen to Boygenius’ The Record as well as Stranger in the Alps! The Record really got me through last summer and the three artists are amazing together. Stranger in the Alps is also just so cozy and shows off Bridgers’ amazing lyricism so well. Hope you guys enjoy them, and thanks for the videos!!! I love finding new music with you guys :)

[@cameronbenton7982]

Yes finally!! This is probably my favorite album of all time and I know the end is my favorite song of all time. You guys should definitely react to the boygenius album and also their ep and their individual albums! Fun fact: She actually wrote the song ”Savior Complex” in a dream!

[@cheyennekernats1484]

the dad playing the drums in i know the end was so cute

[@Illyriamars]

Please listen to Stranger in the Alps, Boygenius EP, the record, and even Better Oblivion Community Center (her album with Conor Oberst). Entire discography is immaculate. The writing is consistently this strong across every project.

[@annaleisegonzalez7458]

Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this????

[@jguz3942]

Fun fact about ICU This was one of the singles released before the album came out & ICU was originally called “I See You” but was changed before the album release

[@Imtired821]

If you haven’t already please listen to HOZIER. His music is art and also changed my life and perspective. Please please please he needs more recognition

[@siveyy74]

I back that up

[@Ladystardust1]

YESSSSS

[@jguz3942]

I’m the beginning of the song ICU she says how she’s laying on the lawn & thinking out long. Then the song continues on. At the end of the song she said “I’ll click through the window again but right now it feels good not to stand” SHES STILL LAUONH ON THE LAWN The whole song past the lawn part & she whole song is her “thinking out loud”

[@jjkfairiess]

omg omg YESSSS i’ve been waiting for this one! you should definitely do her first album ‘stranger in the alps’ !

Glad you enjoyed this album. I hope you check out Stranger in The Alps by her, pretty much any music by Mitski & Brat by Charlie XCX (i don't know if it's your usual type of music but it dose have a few surprisingly vunrable songs & along with some bangers).

[@Alex-tq2cn]

This album is a 10/10 for me I love it so much. Since you wanted some context for her as a person, here’s what I know: 1) her childhood home burned down (Garden Song) 2) most of the references are to LA, where she’s from (eastside, fan killed by the stadium, roses on flatbeds) 3) she’s a big fan of Elliot Smith (who Punisher is partially about) I definitely think you should listen to Boygenius! They have an EP from 2018 and The Record which came out last year. I won’t say too much about those other than The Record is another 10/10 for me and that the majority of its songs are about friendship 😭

[@Person-yr6td]

You should definitely listen to stranger in the alps! Motion Sickness, Funeral, and Scott street are some of my favorite songs of all time

[@looseleaflyra]

boygenius is SO worth checking out and the first album was great too, please i beg you listen to them both

Im so happy right now. Please PLEASE do Stranger in the Alps and both boygenuis albums. They are amazing, truly. You can even check out Lucy Dacus album, Home Video, which is amazing as well. Both Phoebe and Boygenuis have played a concert in Brooklyn Steel hosted by Pitchfork that are just great. The instruments, their voices, all FANTASTIC I would recommend doing the boygenuis albums in order, there are some references that you might miss otherwise

[@jguz3942]

Punisher is abt her parasocial relationship with Elliot Smith - who was her idol She is saying she is a “Punisher” for him Which basically means a Stan but to a different level
