Phoebe Bridgers - Punisher (June 19, 2020) Album • Page 62

I’m going to have to circle back to this in the fall. I listened three times and it didn’t grab me.

 

i think my booklet was cut incorrectly? not sure if that was intended. the booklet itself is not square and a lot of the pages actually are still stuck together

can’t wait to listen though

 

had to do it : phoebebridgers

a video of me listening to punisher by phoebe bridgers

 

You were screaming at the Evangelicals.
They were screaming right back from what I remember.
When you said "I will never be your vegetable,
Because I think when you're gone it's forever."
But you know I'd stand on the corner, embarrassed with a picket sign,
If it meant I would see you when I die.

 

Yep. This whole record is great, but that song is really something special.

 

My friend told me that Conor is the main writing credit on Chinese Satellite.

 

“Drowning out the morning birds with the same three songs over and over. I wish I wrote it but I didn’t so I learn the words, hum along ‘til the feeling’s gone forever”

What a goddamn talent she is

 

The track by track for it makes it even better:

I have no faith — and that’s what it’s about. My friend Harry put it in the best way ever once. He was like, “Man, sometimes I just wish I could make the Jesus leap.” But I can’t do it. I mean, I definitely have weird beliefs that come from nothing. I wasn’t raised religious. I do yoga and stuff. I think breathing is important. But that’s pretty much as far as it goes. I like to believe that ghosts and aliens exist, but I kind of doubt it. I love science — I think science is like the closest thing to that that you’ll get. If I’m being honest, this song is about turning 11 and not getting a letter from Hogwarts, just realizing that nobody’s going to save me from my life, nobody’s going to wake me up and be like, “Hey, just kidding. Actually, it’s really a lot more special than this, and you’re special.” No, I’m going to be the way that I am forever. I mean, secretly, I am still waiting on that letter, which is also that part of the song, that I want someone to shake me awake in the middle of the night and be like, “Come with me. It’s actually totally different than you ever thought.” That’d be sweet.

 

That's how it's listed on Spotify, but Phoebe has herself listed as the writer last on every song. I don't think that's an accurate reflection of the work put into the music and it's kind of weird to suggest that a man wrote it for her.

 

Oh I didn't know it was listed like that on all of them. Was just sharing what my friend told me when we were talking about that song.

 

Quite sure this album is about to be a perfect soundtrack to how I feel while assembling a bookcase from WalMart.

 

My record came today. Y'all weren't kidding about the lyric book. I gotta watch out for dirty fingers

 

Had Graceland Too stuck in my head all day. Such a special song.

 

which article is this from?

 

Apple Music

 

Really need to take this one for a super late-night summer drive.

 

Where were the signed copies from?

 

Excitedly ordered the vinyl on Amazon. Checked my email confirmation and it's backordered till July 8th

 

how does a human being write a song like i know the end. i think she's right. she's an alien.

 

Yeah this is really sinking in. Listened to it several times today and already learning lyrics. It’s likely there’s nothing that will come out this year that will surpass this to be my aoty.

 

Phoebe
Waxahatchee
Jason Isbell
... Bright Eyes???

 

Bob Dylan and RTJ

 

This will probably be in my top ten but its way too early to talk about end of the year ranking and please don't start doing it now thread, I beg you
