The 25-year-old singer and songwriter shows us how “Kyoto” transformed from a ballad into a rock song over months, combining a stray lyric, a bare-bones voice memo from tour and shared memories of childhood.

Duh naked Lol
She and Billie Eilish.
@@traceymarshall5886 lmao k
She has such a different speaking voice than her singing voice lol
haha it’s because she sings in her head voice most of the time! :•)
Same with Justin Vernon lol. I was surprised when I heard how deep their speaking voices are compared to their singing styles
I wondered why she's always in falsetto.
Charlie Puth too

"You were off by like 10 days" Ouch. That one hit me right in the feels. A good lyricist.
I need an entire album like kyoto
Her work on Better Oblivion Community Center is similar!
@@erin_the_extra2329 Yes! That album was my introduction to Phoebe Bridgers. It was in the acknowledgement of a book I really enjoyed and just had to listen to it. Didn't hurt that I also love Bright Eyes/Conor Oberst.

Tracey Marshall idk why u put this on my comment and all I could find about her doing that was one reddit post but if she’s breaking quar to fly around the world that is very frustrating yeah :/
@@TheAnjelHarte it was all over the news in Ireland that she was seen flying into Ireland and immediately going around places in ireland visiting cafes and mixing with people without doing the required 14 day quarantine
As someone who identifies her favourite songs with their lyrics-- Phoebe Bridgers is not only a lyrical genius but a person who works on her songs until she believes in them. This is what you get for having such a wonderful team who truly and fully recognise your vision and restrain from imposing their ideas on it. What a delightful artist, her songs make me want to cry but just as easily, jump in the air with so much power. What a wonderful interview too, god bless that animation!

Tracey Marshall funnily enough, I live in Ireland and while I do not defend people from the USA travelling here, it’s just as likely she got tested negative before hopping on a flight. Moreover, Ireland is one of the few countries in the world that is still allowing American citizens while other EU countries are simply not. Again, while it was still negligent, one can’t entirely be sure she didn’t take all the measures.
@@aditikapoor3576 if you live in ireland you know that there is a requirement for people from other countries (not on the green list) to do 14 days quarantine where you are not allowed outside at all. Phoebe was seen out in cafes in cork after just flying into the country. It was her responsibility to do the 14 day quarantine and she basically gave a 2 fingers up to everyone due to her own selfish self importance behaviour

@@traceymarshall5886 when did she do that LMAO. She followed all the COVID guidelines.
I like how she just seems 100% true to herself and her songs work on a great emotional level. Everyone struggles yet we all pretend to be upbeat, which I find many of the songs mimic.

@@traceymarshall5886 What on earth is your problem? You're copying and pasting this all over the comments, it's pathetic.
@@joeboonmusic4004 oh you must be one of these Trump supporters who believe Covid19 is a hoax and that nobody has died from it? Also are you one of these self important people who are far too important to wear a mask, social distance or just ignore 14 day quarantine rules??
@@traceymarshall5886 Not sure how you managed to gauge my political opinion from my reply... I'm just pointing out that you're pasting this all over the comments and it looks stupid. Of course I think people should wear a mask, you know nothing about me, I'm from the UK too, not America. This is just embarrassing.
@@joeboonmusic4004 why is it embarrassing?? Whats embarrassing about standing up for people who might die from covid19 and wreckless people lile phoebe bridgers coming to ireland for a "holiday" during a pandemic when it is on the irish list of high risk covid19 countries and requires 14 quarantine which she ignored and decided to go straight to cafes and hotels in ireland from the plane...how is highlighting this issue stupid??
I heard this sing fast tempo first and was immediately drawn to it and the lyrics were what kept my attention peaked. When I heard her laid back version on CBS morning I loved it even more! Brilliance! Phoebe takes me back to remembering what it was like to be young ♥️
Pheobe is the only music artist I’ve ever listened to that i find every song that they’ve made, an amazing masterpiece Phoebe is such an amazing music artist
The comment about screaming and the subsequent studio clip at the very end of the video is a riot. I have to say... her high note/scream in 'Salt in the Wound' absolutely qualifies her as being capable in this department. Without fail, that note sends shivers down my spine each and every time I hear it.
I am so so so obsessed with this album, truly the perfect set of songs for this mental time ❤️

Might be my favorite song on the album, I'm glad the producers actually had the right idea and it didn't feel forced
This whole video is amazing, thank you to everyone who made it!!
This video makes me want to watch the whole series. It’s great. Love the way it was put together - even more thinking of how it was made with everyone involved working from a distance from each other during the pandemic. Gorgeous
This was such an amazing interview and video. Hats off to everyone involved. Absolutely love Punisher and Kyoto ♥️
The video of her screaming oh my god I love her
This gives voice to the creative efforts behind the song. I found it fascinating and very well done.
I am certainly going to look up some Phoebe Bridgers songs now.
Motion Sickness, Kyoto, and her acoustic version of Teenage Dirtbag are some of my favourites. Dylan Thomas and My City are awesome too
Enjoy! she is a delight.

Tracey Marshall girl you have replied to every comment with this please shut up LOL she probably got tested and has been in shelter in place for months
@@Emmistonks she broke the quarantine rules in Ireland and she did not bother to do them!!! She cannot create her own rules. Your attitude is exactly why covid19 is spreading around the world and people dying. Glad you care about you dont care about anybody else in the world
Tracey Marshall when did i say i personally don’t follow the rules... i have stayed at home since march, worn a mask when i have been outside, been tested, and advocate for funding the hospitals and testing for everyone. i am saying that she probably has been tested and it has been negative. just because she comes from america doesn’t mean she has it??? i doubt if her tests came back positive she’d be allowed out of the country maam.
@@Emmistonks The rules are not different for her. When arriving to Ireland it is a requirement to do a mandatory 2 week quarantine and she didnt - she went out sight seeing and straight to planes. She did break the rules!!! The rules to come to ireland is a 2 week quarantine!!! You cannot just skip it because you dont feel like it but she clearly didnt care about it! Why is the USA the highest country for covid and deaths??? Clearly because americans couldnt care less about anyone but themselves and they clearly dont follow the rules like she did. I dont know why you are twisting the facts. She was seen flying into ireland and a short time after she was seen in a cafe in public....therefore breaking the quarantine
my fav episode of these ! for sure one of my fav artists of the moment. her collaborators seem the absolute best too

This is literally my favorite video of all time
Been in love since the first album.
her writing style for whatever reason reminds me of Wil Wagner from the Smith Street Band, the lyrics in particular have the same really direct, non-descriptive and modest feeling while also having a sense of humour, like they're just directly having a conversation with the listener.
loved this !!!!
god i relate so much to this song- it's so beautiful
This is fantastic. Superb journalism. She’s amazing. All of them are.
This is the only song that made my top 10 2 years in a row for most played on spotify ever, the vinyl is gunna get worn out when i can afford to get it lol. Phoebe's music is so cathartic as a whole and this is just such a perfectly encapsulated story it takes you away every listen.
Her songs make me cry and I don't cry easy.

I like trumpet in a pop or rock song, but it has to carry a mood. For example, in "Driving with Bert" by Neil Halstead, there is some beautiful melancholy. I think Phoebe's song makes great use of the trumpet.
