the interviewer has so much TASTE, when he mentioned 'funeral' and 'chinese satellite' I lost it
Wow an actually great interviewer. He knew his homework and gave great questions.
He is such a good interviewer! Lets her talk, asks great questions, asks her to elaborate. More interviews who talk to musicians need to learn from him
I just don’t feel right listening to happy music rn. I can’t relate anymore. This album has been helping me process so much stuff this year. I’ve finally realized how important it is to actually process my emotions. I was close to being one of those toxic positivity ppl and now I feel more grounded and strong in my emotions. Idk if that makes sense or if anyone else can relate.
^^^^^^^^^^^^
i feel exactly the same way it's almost to the point where i dont like happy music
exactly.....
"I miss the comfort in being Sad"- Kurt Cobain. This lyric sums up the way we enjoy and consume sad music. It's strangely comforting.
I know this may not be exactly the same, but this reminds me of a line from a Bright Eyes song ("Poison Oak") that has always stuck with me:
The end of paralysis, I was a statuette
Now I'm drunk as hell on a piano bench
And when I press the keys it all gets reversed
The sound of loneliness makes me happier
I love that Kyoto is a dad rock song about your dad. 😄
Sam absolutely crushed this interview. this is one of the best interviews I've seen in quite a while
I listen to Sam Sanders on his podcast, had no idea how much he's communicating with his face. So expressive, feel like I've been missing out.
Same!
We must protect Phoebe at all costs
This interview was great and they seemed like old friends even tho it appears this may have been their first time talking!
Also phoebe talking voice sounds intimidating like someone you’d have to win their affection, yet she seems like such a lovely, open, and warm person
this is one of the best interviews of any musician i’ve ever seen! the interviewer has clearly spent so much time listening to and connecting with her music and he asked so many great in-depth questions about her songwriting. shoutout to phoebe as well for being so open and engaging. it was like watching a 3 am conversation between friends.
Yes... Phoebe's music reminds me what it was like when I was able to feel.
I'm sorry. :(
God she might be my favorite stranger
such a great interview with relevant questions that showed you both cared and truly knew about her work ! it was really interesting to hear her dive into so many layers of the album and her artistry ! absolutely loved this :)
this is like the best interview ever
This felt like a conversation more than an interview and I loved it 🥰
A truly wonderful sharing and insightful dialogue. Thank you so much for a very well crafted exchange. 🙏🏻
Wow, that was an hour well spent. Two of my fave people who I've never met. Together. Thank you Sam. I think that was the best part of my week. :-)
Such a great interview! So many interesting questions and Phoebe's answers were very funny and insightful
This is like the best interview I have watched in the pandemic lock down. Ever..
This is such a great interview. I was already in rapture with Phoebe Bridgers, but now I'm a convert to Sam Sanders as well. What wonderful, respectful, rich rapport they had with one another. I love the part about specificity and her joke about the nutrition info on the fig newton package!!! That cracked me up. And the way Sam got to that with his questions was priceless.
Also, on a separate note..... Phoebe Bridgers' music connects so well with Tears for Fears music. Totally different eras, but it is really an uncanny connection.
I love the vibe of the interviewer! This was so nice to watch
Thanks for having my friend Phoebe on here NPR! I’m excited for everything on 7/19/23 with you Phoebe!
This guy interviewing is really sweet. And communicates really well. His openness made the interview flow so nicely, aww :)
Watching this for the 10th time and it just gets better. Two beautiful minds having the best conversation about art in the tragedy of our era.
This will be part of music docs in the future.
Super! This interview is mandatory to revisit from time to time
what an amazing interview, I love hearing Phoebe's perspective on her own music
This is just a joy. Thanks to BOTH.
@Sam Sanders: you are wonderful! Thank you and your team so much for bringing these great conversations to us 💜
GOOD JOB THIS INTERVIEWER IS SO GOOD
I’m so obsessed with Waiting room I love hearing her talk about it!!
Punisher was my favourite album of 2020. Phoebe is a massive talent and a gem of a person.
Phoebe Bridgers plus Bright Eyes a one two punch to my heart and soul. Love ❤
Awesome interviewer, made it feel like a conversation, two people listening to each other, it was very nice :)
I keep coming back to this interview. I live for both Pheobe Bridgers and Sam Sanders. Can this pls become like a yearly interview?
Um also, Sam Sanders, I love it when you talk about San Antonio. It makes me miss my countdown city.
i adore her. such a great interview!
Such a good interview with great questions! Love all the songwriting insights and learning more about her process.
This interview is my safe space now
Such a great interview. Love Sam
This was such a great interview
I love that she still lives in her apartment from when she was 18. Please never leave LA, Phoebe!
Great interview, love her so much!
Great interview, great insights Phoebe, hope you make a rock album someday
I love this interview!!
A stunning coversation. Thank you.
Thank you for this interview
I listen to It’s been a minute pretty regularly- it’s kinda adorable watching Sam fan girl out bc I don’t think I’ve heard him be this excited in an interview. Love you even more now Sam! Also I’m late to Phoebe and don’t know a ton of her music but this interview makes me like her as a person and I’ll be digging into her catalog now!
Yay! I've never seen a video of Sam. He's not how I pictured him. I always picture him wearing a suit or a sweater vest 😅
He just seems so professional I would never imagine he owns t-shirts.
this was the coolest interview
This interview gave me so much life!
ALL CHAT, NO MUSIC. AWESOME! LOVE THESE TWO!
Really great interview!
this interview blew me away
soundtrack of my new high-functioning depression
This is so real
great interview. the way phoebe is scanning her entire room while thinking about how to answer questions - very much same lol
sam is so nice!! i want to be his friend. great interview!! punisher is mad dope!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
this is such a good interview!!!!!!!!!!
Sam Sanders is such a GOAT. You guys should check out his normal show on NPR! I think it goes on every Saturday.
i hope 2021 brings the new lorde album
omg commenting in 2021 and you got your wish
great interview, great interviewer
She helped me cry all night on Saturday and I feel better
great interview great host great Phoebe
"My hope always is that I can be universal in specifity" struck me as an exact description of her music('s lyrics).
Sending all my polite claps to Miss Bridgers from Germany to LA.
sam: what do you think about that?
phoebe: yes
Awesome interview.
I came for Phoebe Bridgers but stayed for Sam Sanders + Phoebe Bridgers.
Give that man a paid vacation post-COVID/Delta Variant or at least a raise!
7:16 shed a tear, I know the end just popped into my head
Nice podcast keep up the great work and stay awesome I can't wait to see more hopefully in the future ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
She’s such a real human.
I love her ugh
24:30 WAITING ROOM IS MY FAVORITE EVER !!
I became a fan the first time I heard her music
love the interviewer
The comments on every phoebe bridgers videos are all the same and I fucking love it.
I love this interviewer
great interviewer
i did not expect to sit and watch this entire thing but i did. also who is this nutritionist i need to go see her lol
the fact phoebe was a witch in a past life honestly makes so much sense
absolutely insane that she wrote waiting room at 16 years old…. what an old soul and talented writer
I'm so surprised that the lyric about the liver and resentment is literal!
i LOVE waiting room tho lol
okay miss girl!
I had no idea you existed until the bands performance on snl. Wow
connor like, "I've been waiting for this year for years, and you take it?!??!?" Also can you please do another Connor/Phoebe albumn????????????????
is sam not just the best person on radio?? and w feeb???!! how perfect :))
I laid in my bed and stared at the ceiling listening to Punisher so to hear her listening to Fiona like that, I felt that.
Now I’m really curious about what is Phoebe’s favorite album of 2021
I love how she looks all bashful when he’s digging out the specific lyrics in Chinese Satellite he wants to complement ❤️
shes cool
as far as tears, Funeral. tough not to feel that. the terrible master hears, "heading to a funeral tomorrow, for a kid a lot younger than me. i've been talking to her dad ... makes me so sad..."
great interview✴️🤍
why am i watching this 4 months later?????? 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻
42:49 when i first listened to Stankonia
also sennheiser 600?
I want to know who the nutritionist is so bad
"Man I lost it so hard in my car.. thank you" lol kahskajeid that's kinda what I would tell her if I have the chance to
43:50 she's just like me fr
goddamn imagine being in that other band from her high school now lmaooooooo
One of them has his own web show and interviewed her recently: czcams.com/video/IvR2gvn1hE8/video.html
