Phoebe Bridgers - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@taolinpine]

end of 2024 still sticking to this

[@atreides6]

The contrast of her speaking voice and singing voice is interesting to me for some reason. What a gorgeous voice. Excellent band.

[@jolenefetterolf4771]

Aaron Davis I couldn’t wait to hear her speaking voice !! I was not expecting that. There’s such a contrast. Man her voice is haunting and everything I’ve been looking for!

[@lee-anlu6946]

Yeah, as soon as I heard her speaking voice, it was interestingly resonant to my own - deep but childish at the same time. unfortunately i wasn't blessed with such a contrastingly high and gentle singing voice!

[@maxwest5447]

She talks like a duder

[@sebastianrichter9008]

yeah it is...her singing voice is...awesome! But her talking voice is like...just awesome?

[@sebastianrichter9008]

And..of course...here attidude.(sic!) when talking

[@markmeleady]

Phoebe dismissing "Waiting Room" as a song she wrote when she was a teenager makes me wish she appreciated that song more because if any adult could write a song even half as good as it, they would be doing well. I've really only got to know this song in the last week and I just love it so much.

[@osidiusemphatic]

The composition is wonderful, but I imagine some of the lyrics feel a little awkward as an adult. The opening couple of lines especially. It's an interesting song when you look at it in the context of other songs she's written about life experiences though.

[@PeterGorla]

I agree. She should use it as the first single on her 3rd album!

[@samuelamos4864]

And here I am, just learning about the song today😢

[@markmeleady]

@@samuelamos4864 better late than never! 🙂

[@staygold902]

Agree. That song is one her masterpieces

[@aratrikaaa]

waiting room is such a brilliant song even though she wrote it as a teenager. we all feel the things she talks about but very few people are actually able to express it in such a beautiful way.

[@GriffinixWEla]

can't believe it finally got released on spotify a few weeks ago and it's down again now

It's my favorite song by her

[@rianraby7825]

She makes the most beautifully depressing music, and I love it.

[@27scole]

No :) it is not depressing. Do you not see the happiness on her face. It comes from feeling feelings. It makes happy

[@AcornFox]

Try Daughter.

[@pablosanchez3489]

She calls it "That good sad" and i think that's the best way you can put it

[@jeffwesterly3057]

Try Echos. Even more depressing, but still beautiful as well.

[@andigunawan7920]

@mustakrakish this is a good reference.

[@jjsvilar]

The entire performance was tight. I've always been impressed by Phoebe, but the entire band is really phenomenal.

Really wish these sessions were available for streaming on Spotify or something like that

[@HCaulfield115]

You can also turn KZbin videos into mp3 files on most pc’s

[@marksheppard7733]

I really just wish KZbin wouldn't make a simple feature like playing without the screen on something that people have to pay for. It would be easy enough to listen to stuff like this on the KZbin app for me if that weren't the case. No way I'm paying for KZbin again. Too many subscriptions as it is!

[@blauwzakjecrack]

[@deadbabyjokes5319]

@@blauwzakjecrack mp3 files ??

[@TSandstrom30]

Ya idk why I've seen so many comments like this, your wishes have been a Google search away for probably about 15 years since the beginning of KZbin. All anyone has ever had to do to have anything you want as an mp3 is Google KZbin to mp3, there's tons of sites. Same for SoundCloud or Bandcamp or probably anything else. You can do it right on your phone too, don't even need a computer. Then you got the raw sound files on your phone to use in whatever music player ya want. Easy, free, no worrying about availability, apps, connection, streaming, data, or anything at all ; )

[@DirMrsHQoftheScreamingGhouls]

I normally listen to metal, I don't know how I got here but the honesty here is beautiful

[@tristenhood3167]

@@SorenAraujo Ditto. Katatonia is one of my favorites!

[@danman6669]

Anyone else get choked up listening to her music? I love the emotions in her singing. I can't help but feel them along with her.

[@TehKGBeast]

Every time... :')

[@mrpandabites]

Absolutely. In fact, I don't know how she sings straightfaced. If i was singing those words, I'd be weeping uncontrollably.

[@tomosboatman1780]

No, but I am dead inside.

[@HelloSadness101]

1000% I've felt strongly about music often in my life. But Phoebe is on another level to me. I get choked up during so many songs. I get tingles still like I'm listening to the songs the first time, when in actuality it's the thousandth.

[@AnthonySAdams]

@@tomosboatman1780 HILARIOUS!

[@dvsn23]

The way the back up vocals hit on "smoke signals" is just a perfect complement to the lead vocals. Well done.

[@t0ddingt0n]

Hits real different when you realize the guy the song is about is the same one singing the backing vocals.

[@hannahputna7213]

i’m so obsessed with waiting room, it’s one of her best songs

[@thisispeacefull]

"There are no words in the English language..." to describe how much I love the song "Motion Sickness" 🙌🏻

[@Ring0fSaturn]

I am struck by Phoebe's honesty and genuineness as well as her and the band's tight and comfortable vibe. This is my introduction to Phoebe Bridgers and it's very, very good.

[@danielgarzaromusic]

same.

[@kathrynnee7460]

Oh. My. God. That performance of Motion Sickness just changed my life.

[@edieh7781]

she looks so truly beautiful here and I'm so sad to hear her pass off waiting room as a silly teenage love song, it's so fucking incredible, and now that it's off Spotify there is actually a hole in my heart.

[@___.______.______.______._____]

Pookie guess what

[@Grant_Ferstat]

Just a great performance overall. Man that drummer is a sweet harmony singer.

[@charlesshows3469]

Grant Ferstat I agree, such a smooth tone.

[@markusdabell1656]

The way she understands how the audience wants to hear her hold the high note on surrendering to the sound.

[@JoshuaMalilay]

this performance of Scott Street is a GODDAMN GEM.

[@Aramenso]

KEXP the place to go to find something you never searched for but definitly was missing in your life. Thanks for recording these sessions and make them availble for us. Keep up the good work!

I found King gizzard from KEXP and that opened the rabbit hole to Australia’s amazing music scene. 🤙🏽

@@Usiris23 any similar acts that you recommend?

[@blaire4300]

I’ve been listening to Phoebe for a couple years and I just love hearing her live, I hope I can see her one day

[@mollyknightly5107]

I have listened to all the studio versions countless times on repeat but nothing hits like this live performance . Her best in my opinion

[@laurenmeenhorst8046]

I totally agree

[@maxie1757-nz]

I come back here every 2 weeks, best performance of Scott Street IMO.

[@tjeugamer_2489]

i completely agree, the same with waiting room though

[@ndist8524]

You are so correct. What a fantastic song and performance.

[@tswizzle1989]

I don’t know what it is but Scott Street always makes me cry so hard maybe it’s just the realization that childhood is over and things won’t ever be the same is really sinks in when I hear it

[@bohojobo]

When she hits that high note @13:35 GIIRRLLL Also I must commend the host's nonchalant professionalism. I would be losing it.

[@jolenefetterolf4771]

bohojobo I KNOW !!! Sooo flat! Ok , that was great, tell us about your band members! I’m losing my mind just listening from here

[@dangeradams58240]

i'm sure he's been in the room with plenty of talented musicians and eventually just got desensitized to most of it. i grew up with live music and still play in a band around town, i'm in the host's camp with not freaking out about it. not to say i didn't enjoy this performance, i did, but it's obviously in her range to belt out that note

[@Someone-fn3ij]

@Francisco Cotapos im gonna risk saying it's because it's not easy xD

[@ktakatheo]

I love it when performers actually sound like their recordings, live (norah jones, Lilly Allen, etc). And your note hold on "Motion Sickness" - beautiful talent.

[@maxmeirow7319]

I think this performance of Smoke Signals may be the best one on KZbin at the moment. Also, I was super happy to see a live version of Waiting Room.

[@Odoth]

NPR Smoke Signals is def the best

[@Vojife]

I love the little ingenious tricks and gadgets the drummer uses

[@michaellopez-lq5fn]

Smoke signals is just one of those songs that’s just somehow objectively amazing. Dare I say perfect. This version of it is especially special. Thank you phoebe

[@BaconAmp]

Phoebe was already amazing, this band has kicked it up tenfold! Great musicianship and writing!

[@darlantro]

Got to about 13:30 listening to this while doing other things... then she held that note and the drummer did that smooth fill over it while everyone kept the drone going... hell yeah, new fan

[@lenavan9856]

the bass in smoke signals is so good in every single version i’ve heard of it

She is absolutely awesome, not just her voice but also her personality. This is love at first sight. She is very talented and then so modest at the same time. She is just very charming.

I just discovered Phoebe last year (where have I been? I don't know). But now I'm obsessed with this orgasmic performance in my brain... How do they do it? Being so good on the album and much better in live. My teenager (who lives inside me) is so happy to live in the same world (time in space) as these genius people. Come to Brazil 🇧🇷 please 🙏

[@johnlennon193]

tbh Phoebe's live performances are better than the album version because her voice is more raw here cuz of the lack of reverb here i just discovered her music shes criminally underrated!!!

[@ale-1996]

The most beautiful and calm performance ever ♥

[@bigtone667]

I love her album (and all her other collaborative works). These songs just soothe me musically. But what I enjoy even more is hearing her growing variations on the original recordings. Lots of goose bump moments.

Love her music. I think it's fair to say that 'Stranger in the Alps' was one of the best albums of 2017. I remember making a playlist of 2017 music for a friend, and she was the only artist I put in twice. Oh, and this KZbin channel is fantastic 🤓

[@rogerthat6787]

The tenderness and raw emotion in her voice...goosebumps. SO good.

[@janineonejanine]

Love this acoustic version of Scott Street I don't know how a newer song can make me so damn nostalgic for my neighborhood the Echo Park of pre-pandemic times before this song was released Crazy good

[@oliviayovanov2481]

I always come back to this video because her music is just so amazing live. Scott Street will always be a favorite of mine
