Phoebe Bridgers - Motion Sickness (Live on KEXP)

[@mindaurra1525]

"I hate you for what you did, and I miss you like a little kid." This first line is so fucking relatable. I love this song.

[@feelsrestricted8322]

This line never fails to give me chills

Reminds me of Just Like Him by Brandy Clarke.

the way she sings it especially in the recording is special

Your audio engineers should all get a raise for this one.

I'm 35 and I still can't write about trauma like this. Every time I try, I just end up writing a song about macaroni and cheese or something similarly silly.

We all process trauma differently. Mac and cheese is a comfort food. It's perfectly valid to find reassurance in comfort, especially when tackling such a large issue

[@jimiboi87]

I was on my knees, spankings and mac and cheese, the kraft sauce please, I gasp and wheeze In a sinking bedroom, where I cry myself to sleep, trauma sticking to my insides like the orange yellow crust on week old bowls I pay for therapy, afraid to become a weak old soul.

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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] I have emotional motion sickness I try to stay clean and live without And I want to know what would happen If I surrender to the sound Surrender to the sound

It speaks volumes to Phoebe’s talent of how much Nashville/Los Angeles/NYC guitar royalty plays with her. All these phenomenal players: Jackson Browne, (underrated as a sheer guitar player) Julian Baker, Blake Mills, Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and my personal favorite, Harrison Whitford. He’s one of my favorites of the LA sideman/studio guitar scene, and his talents for tone and note choice are never as more present as when they do Motion Sickness live. I know her listeners are pretty music savvy people, but I don’t think people comprehend JUST how much musical talent she attracts. It speaks volumes of her instincts as a songwriter and producer that they all want to work for her.
