Perfectly captures that feeling of loss you get in your 20s when everyone & everything you knew splinters. Beautiful.

[@montysano]

The way this starts acoustic and then gradually brings in the whole band is just wonderful.

[@nicematerial]

The record is the same! This is a fucking masterpiece

[@vic5594]

The slide on that Telecaster is just amazing as the drum cue n on the word 😢

[@Undertow596]

3:36 gives me goosebumps

[@ellaamba4644]

it started on the "how is playing drums" then the whole band on "what about the band" huhu

Hugh Bridgers Hi Hugh, any relation to Phoebe? I love her! I’m an old Jackson Browne fan and know she Phoebe has said she was influenced by JB and Joni Mitchell. I grew up around the corner from Pasadena and feel that kinship as well. She’s a unique young lady and I’ve noticed her growth since her first record. If your not her dad, oh well 😔 I put it out there anyway.

[@JoshuaMalilay]

Your audio engineers need a goddamn GRAMMY. Just amazing.

[@wlmorgan]

Kevin Suggs really does kill it every damn time. Total pro.

Well, I would have liked to be able to hear the backing vocals in the first verse, but maybe I'm just nitpicking?

This session could go directly to an album w/o editing. Says a lot about bands that need years in the studio to record an album. What pure talent.

[@kasiecastleberry]

Real.

[@TheZooNinjaS]

Says a lot more about the audio engineer and the dude that mixed this.

[@riely94]

This is a mixed recording. There's two audio engineers involved in working on it post-recording. KEXP is often closer to studio than live - but that's not taking anything away from this performance, because it's great live too.

will forever love phobe bridgers

God, I think I'd just bawl the whole time if I ever got the opportunity to hear Phoebe perform this live. It's just so incredibly beautiful.

I’ve never cried at a gig before, when she played this at Glasgow Barrowlands the other night i cried my eyes out for the entire song

[@mirhossein9772]

Walking Scott Street, feeling like a stranger With an open heart, open container I've got a stack of mail and a tall can It's a shower beer it's a payment plan There's helicopters over my head Every night when I go to bed Spending money and I earned it When I'm lonely, that's when I'll burn it Do you feel ashamed When you hear my name I asked you "How is your sister? I heard she got her degree" And I said, "That makes me feel old" You said, "What does that make me?" I asked you "How is playing drums?" You said it's too much shit to carry "And what about the band?" You said they're all getting married Do you feel ashamed When you hear my name Anyway, don't be a stranger Anyway, don't be a stranger Don't be a stranger

2 years after you posted this and I can honestly say I'm going through the same thing. Walked away because it would hurt many. But who knows if there will be regret. This song gets it.

[@retroboy8696]

I walked away 4 years ago today my kids are good and I’m in a better place but not seeing them hurts

[@antonioacevedo634]

See my version of it is, we both walked away from something that could have gone so far.. our potential together was greater… it’s a shame that things change, regardless

This song is so painful focusing on nostalgia and regret it’s so beautiful

[@jeffpedrosa2781]

I always look for another song that has the same emotion and feel like Bon Iver's "Blindsided" and now the search is over. ❤

[@tylerbrunner7502]

Good call!

[@jonathanxavier2026]

The melancholy always reminds me of bon iver stuff.

[@ivanl.8201]

Look up the oldie, but goodie "Here Comes A Regular" by The Replacements. The intro acoustic riff has that same "quietly letting go in the midst of the crushing loneliness and despair" feel to it. It's really rare that there are people like Phoebe and Paul Westerberg that put so much honesty and raw emotion into their songs. Most songwriters hold back, at least a little, but I prefer when they don't.

[@michaelwilson1669]

Listen to Have Mercy by Gaslight Anthem too.

[@nanah846]

i'm still young but oh my god does this song make me feel so old. it's like looking back on times you were happy, and although i'm much better now mentally, i'd give anything to be there again. to just be pure and have no self judgment and self hatred circling in the back of my mind. back to moments with those people you loved most, telling each other you'd be best friends forever, and all the things you'd do growing old together. and now there not in your life anymore. you don't know their favorite song, favorite food, favorite place, favorite clothes, favorite people, because things change. and it's the fact that things change so quickly is what's scary. i don't know what's going to happen in my future, and that's okay. thank you phoebe for making this masterpiece a reality.

[@antonioacevedo634]

Yea.. it’s crazy… I had this friend I had met back in 2019… we barely talked.. then picked up conversation in September of 2020… at first we kinda just figured we’d fool around… obviously that never works… we had fallen deeply in love very rapidly, and we had a beautiful thing for a little less than a year… beings I was so immature and not ready to show her my true love, I had messed around behind her… not realizing that what I was doing would damage not only my life but hers… and everyone else involved… now I have a 1 year old son and she’s expecting in October… we’ve both “moved on” but around the end of last year we had started talking again.. even seeing each other one last time in January… she had sent me the last text saying “I’m so confused… and I really don’t know what to do, and I really want your help” that was her last text man… about a month or two after that I had seen on her Facebook that she’s expecting in October… this is all so crazy man… she’s with her child’s father and I have a kid with someone else… it’s so crazy… only about 4 years ago had we met through her brother… now we both live separate lives with new motives and new goals….❤️‍🩹I know we’ll never get our happy ending, but in the end all I want is for her to find peace within herself… she blamed herself for my mistakes… made her feel she wasn’t good enough.. I feel like total shit every day thinking about it… she deserves the world and then some…. I’m just so stupid for wasting my Chance with her… we had a pure connection with each other… I still feel as though our souls are still bond together…. But honestly I can just be delusional… I hope she lives her life KNOWING she is ENOUGH.. I hope she doesn’t think she has to settle for less… I have a good feeling the guy she’s with is not going to stick around much long after she has their kid… my intuition is pretty good to be honest… and that scares me

[@SalaWalter]

My favourite version

[@reneewilliams3339]

This is beautiful. This song has a beautiful place in my heart. Found this song in late 2022 when my dad was dying from cancer. I knew he wouldn’t see me make it to my 20th Birthday in February 2023 so this song just felt like a warm embrace of “you’ll move onto your adult life without a father but with a lot of happy memories and emotions behind you”. I still listen to Scott street in my car on full blast and it hits me just as much as the first time I heard it. This song makes me feel bitter sweet but I will never get sick of hearing it, especially that last part with the “oooohhhhhh”. Love you dad. Rest well 🕊️

The perfect song to reminisce to

[@mediocremillennial2606]

This song really seems to ring true to me and gets me chocked up every time I hear it. I have been diagnosed with congestive heart failure at the age of 31 due to complications with some exercises i did throughout my late 20's. I swear this song hits on so many levels and if anyone is out there going through the same thing I just want people to know that your life is yours. You can't please everyone and it's best to just be yourself and be unapologetic about it. I love everyone that has supported me through the years and i just want to hope for the best but I know how these thing end up. I hope others get inspiration from this song to keep going and keep trying. I know one day this will be something in which theres a solution. I just hope people keep that in mind and look for the bright spots in all of the darkness that surrounds us.

Phoebe is one of the greatest revenge-song writers ever.

[@antonioacevedo634]

This isn’t revenge song, this is a song for a good send off, “anyway don’t be a stranger” pretty much implying like “let’s get a coffee or something sometime and catch up” really not meaning it, and most likely never seeing each other for coffee

[@nicktaylor5264]

@@antonioacevedo634 Do you feel ashamed When you hear my name? That being the chorus and all.

Also “that makes me feel old” contrasted with the reply “what does that make me?” - I’ve always interpreted this as another nod to big age-gap relationships.
