Phoebe Bridgers - Motion Sickness (Live at The Current)

[@birdsemma]

Seriously this song is just perfect - in every version she does it says something a bit different, even though everyone knows what it's about. Lyrically, melodically, atmospherically ... all of it. She just nails those queasy, surreal after-effects of a short and intense thing with someone.

[@2babies1porsche]

took the words outta my mouth! exactly.

[@jaminavestajugo3456]

I agree that she's great at bringing out different mixes of emotions! That said, the lyrics suggest a longer relationship to me, where there was time for her to pile up a lot of baggage and dependency that makes it difficult to leave even if it's toxic. I guess we can get different interpretations.

[@jodyacoustic]

those back up vocals from the bassist and drummer are pretty slick..

[@audioa41]

Ikr. I actually thought it was Aaron Marsh for a sec.

[@josephsaah2613]

Anna Butterss on bass, perfect!

[@vinnhelm]

Sounds better than the album version imo

[@kedjrrfu]

The crew at The Current did a fantastic job with this! Talented folks.

[@rjcripe]

Especially when she belts out that last chorus. That was amazing.

[@louier2967]

This and the KEXP versions 🥺❤️

[@carlyork6024]

She sounds good live and they mixed the production version really cold

[@jaxtyncrew7664]

You probably dont give a shit but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot the login password. I would love any help you can offer me!

[@christopherreillymus]

I love how well Marshall's voice blends with hers. Her songwriting + their harmonies melts my heart.

[@christopherreillymus]

P.S. whoever is playing bass also has an angelic voice.

[@jessicalemos5434]

Is he still in the band?

[@Cra8z27]

What's truly remarkable about Phoebe is she can sing the same song, but always make it seem like it's fresh, new and exciting every time. We are witnessing an amazing artist and she's only just begun to flourish.

i’ve played this 30+ times today i love it soo much aaahhh

What is this about? I’ve noticed Apache always do that on that verse

[@slampadang2]

She plays pretty closed for most of the vid. Then toward the end a ferocity and passion peek through. Great song. Amazing musos. Phoebe is a force.

[@Genjo_N_Mojave]

The sky cannot contain you Phoebe. Your artistic vision is unlimited wow!!

[@camilofalla6327]

Loving the feeling of the drums on this performance

Damn Phoebe. That ending. Love this performance

Marshall’s vocals on this, we love to hear it!

I LOOOVE Phoebe Bridgers!

I love when KZbin gives me unknown/undiscovered songs in my queue. This woman's voice is amazing!

[@whiteyfisk9769]

Imagine not following for the last decade...lol Lmfao even

[@halbrenner8635]

It's about Ryan Adams who she kind of dated briefly. "You were in a band when I was born" makes sense now, because he's like 40 something and she's in her 20's.

[@petepete9831]

Hal Brenner it’s about Conor oberst

[@HelloSadness101]

@@petepete9831 No it isn't. Phoebe has stated in interviews that it is about Ryan Adams. Phoebe released her first singles on his label and they slept together on his 40th birthday apparently.

[@thefolliesofmolly8230]

@@petepete9831 She's in a band with Conor Oberst so they are clearly on good terms.

Fleetwood Mac drums combined with her nice voice. Just great

[@jordanleewillox8615]

She reminds me so much of Neko Case and Elliot Smith mixed with Fleetwood Mac.

LOVE THIS WOMAN AND THIS SONG

[@juliaadvincula7150]

I always come back to this version. I love it so much 😌

[@xarmanhsh2981]

i love her . used to listen to her all the time.

Same. Not so much as of late, I heard she boomed quite well in the industry.

I remember just having this video on repeat throughout my sophomore year of high school in 2019

[@ciaranppp]

great start to spring

[@bpdolesdominoes4]

THAT EXTENDED OUTRO OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD

[@bpdolesdominoes4]

I think this is my new favorite version of this song - a few little subtle melodic changes really bring out the ideas emotionally and the buildup (especially into that last chorus wtf) is so naturally done and then the ending holy shit

[@torontolarrivee7965]

Great song!

[@mrpurple33]

BRAVO!

[@AngryFilmsProduction]

This rules

[@gustavofuriati4209]

I hate you for what you did And I miss you like a little kid I faked it every time, but that's alright I can hardly feel anything, I hardly feel anything at all You gave me fifteen hundred To see your hypnotherapist I only went one time, you let it slide Fell on hard times a year ago, was hoping you would let it go and you did I have emotional motion sickness Somebody roll the windows down There are no words in the English language I could scream to drown you out I'm on the outside looking through You're throwing rocks around your room And while you're bleeding on your back in the glass I'll be glad that I made it out and sorry that it all went down like it did I have emotional motion sickness Somebody roll the windows down There are no words in the English language I could scream to drown you out And why do you sing with an English accent? I guess it's too late to change it now You know I'm never gonna let you have it But I will try to drown you out You said when you met me, you were bored You said when you met me, you were bored And you, you were in a band when I was born I have emotional motion sickness I try to stay clean and live without And I wanna know what would happen If I surrender to the sound Surrender to the sound

How does she do that thing with her eyes? Whatever it is it's working

why does this only have 100k views 😾⁉️

ooh my, this is soooOOOO fukin good, love love love it!! :) I guess we can thank 'Ryan' for this masterpiece (very indirectly of course :p )... I guess sometimes great things do come from total crap! This is a great example.... ...along with 'ALL' the songs on FM Rumors Album.. :) :P :O We love you in Big Sky Country Phoebe :)

[@halbrenner8635]

Fader magazine

[@novembertrails]

"The song, she tells me, is about the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Ryan Adams, whom she met in 2015. “A mutual friend in LA was like, ‘Ryan would like you’. He really was just trying to get me recording and trying to get Ryan to hear me, but Ryan was like, ‘Let me see a picture of her’.” Bridgers says that she and Adams “ended up hanging out all night and recording a song together called Killer. Then, a couple of weeks later, he was suddenly trying to hook up with me. I was super-down and had just broken up with my high-school boyfriend. We slept together on his 40th birthday and I’d just turned 20.” She wrote Motion Sickness after they broke up. What did he think of it? “We were back on good terms by then but after I sent him the song he didn’t talk to me for 24 hours. Then he sent me a sweet text saying ‘it’s a great song’,” she says. “Yes, interesting character…”" telegraph interview. interesting!

[@drewwalker59]

Ryan can afford it!

[@MegaStonik]

Does anybody have number of bass gal? I have a record in mind…

[@broganbunje9154]

Beautiful music. And if you like it (as I do, clearly), you owe it to yourself to take a look at Lori Carson's catalogue. Two decades separate these two artists, but lovely elements connect them.

[@wolvesetc]

its pretty good song but Do you still love me babe by ryan adams is far better

She can’t sing that well live. Every live performance she butchers the first line and it’s never sounded like the edited song.
