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

[@IHeartAtx]

Reminds me of Just Like Him by Brandy Clarke.

[@BananaHammocks]

the way she sings it especially in the recording is special

[@BenKrogh]

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

[@pedroflora2971]

Agreed completely, the drums are sounding perfect! What a piece!

[@Pancho308]

They are always state of the art....I always seek out KEXP for great sound quality and Phoebe Bridgers:-)

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. I don't dare to even write, let alone share, something that makes me feel so exposed. She's so fucking brave. I love this song and everything she has done.

[@stianthijsen4784]

I love macaroni and cheese 😆 and about trauma... drop your pants, we are family and the universe loves YOU 🥰👍

[@fredbearsteve]

keep on trying, ur doing great, i hope you can make a whole album with ur creativeness✨

[@localfairy_1113]

Mac and cheese is fucking great and that's normal every time i think abt it i feel like i want to fucking bleach my skin off but yk i haven't

[@rosiecooper8030]

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.

at a very young age anytime I was around older men I always had this gut feeling, I could never describe the feeling in words but it always shook me to my bones. Almost a sense of creepiness I’d get from them. One time I went to a church camp and there was this man in his thirties who wouldn’t leave me alone, he would always try to get me to “hang out with him” or join him in games. He never did it to the other children. And I remember how persistent he was. I never understand why he was so persistent. I had to cry in front of my best friend at the time and she told him I don’t want to be around him just for him to leave me alone. And I’ve had so many more experiences like that, this song almost brings comfort to my child trauma. Thank you Phoebe.

[@dean2930]

This girl is giving her al right here, holding back her tears! This music is as straight from the heart as physically possible. And it’s bloody amazing!

First heard Phoebe at a music festival in Queens featuring The National. The lineup included Future Islands, Cigarettes After Sex, and of course, Phoebe Bridgers. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was listening to an ALL-STAR lineup...and I was in heaven. What an unforgettable day.

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 Hey, 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 [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
