    “ Chinese Satellite” appreciation! I definitely think it’s one of the under-appreciated tracks on Punisher, and to see you have such a strong reaction to it made me feel less weird about me hysterically crying the first time I heard it, lmao.

  • @chrisperry6874

    Embarrassed with a picket sign if it meant that I'd see you when I die - This line also made me completely speechless. Really creates some empathy for devout religious individuals and is just so raw in expressing the potential motives for these individuals. As a gay man I definitely feel this lyric on a deep level and really feel sorry for anti-LGBT protesters in that it separates the desperation of individuals to be accepted into a religion in hopes of some salvation and the actual act of picketing. Just makes me well up everytime I hear it.

    i will never not watch someone react to punisher!!! one of my favorite albums ever and i loved hearing your commentary and your perspective of the lyrics :) i am SO glad you mentioned the picket sign line in chinese satellite, one of my favorite lyrics of all time. ALSO the "if i could give you the moon i would give you the moon" hurt 10x more when i learned that Phoebe is linked to the goddess/titan of the moon in Latin and Greek mythology. she is quite literally saying she would give the person herself if she was able to. UGH!!!! i would love to see you react to more albums, maybe five seconds flat by lizzy mcalpine, stick season by noah kahan, or superache by conan gray

    • @TheTrickR00m
      @TheTrickR00m  Před rokem

      HER BRAIN! How does she manage to do it? That's so cool about the link to the Goddess of the Moon, it just adds so many more layers too. I've heard Conan's album (brilliant/soul destroying aha) but I've not heard the rest so I must add to my list! Thank you sm by the way

    @jessjess1814 Před rokem +8

    Chinese satellite make me sob honestly its beautiful, ICU has such a great production ( if you're a work of art I'm standing too close i can see the brush strokes changed me), moon song and saviour complex are amazing songs and I know the end is one of my all time favourite songs, I always play it as the plane lands lmao.
    I chose the music video to show at college last week (I study media) as we were doing a project looking into different types and I was so disappointed that no one liked the song or got anything out of the video.
    Phoebe is honestly an amazing, talented song writer, I know she's not unpopular but she is immensly underrated.
    Please tell me you've discovered that when she says I can't even get you to play the drums they stop.

    Subscribed for your eventual listen to “Stranger in the Alps”! Hopefully you get into boygenius, her power trio supergroup with Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus (Graceland Too is about Julien, and they’re featured on the harmonies in that song) - (and they also have a new album dropping at the end of March), Better Oblivion Community Center (another supergroup with Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes, who was the male harmonizer on Halloween and who Moon Song might have been about), as well as probably her first real love song ever lol, “Sidelines”.

    Hi! Just had to pause the video to let you know how much I'm enjoying your reaction! I love when someone new reacts to this album because it is my favorite album of all time, Phoebe really is a special talent. I'm so impressed with your analysis of her songs and how well you understand the symbolism of some of her lyrics, especially when you quickly realized how Chinese Satellite is about religion/wanting to believe in a higher or other worldly power. Also, it's my favorite song on the album and I basically had the same emotional reaction you did the first time I listened to it (especially the picket sign line, that one hit close to home). Okay, excited to watch the second half of your reaction!

    kinda late to this video but phoebe talked about how she and her dad's relationship got better after she released kyoto. it's very sad because just as her relationship was healing with her father, he recently passed away. he passed away on january 3rd 2023.

    so need an elliott smith deep-dive, his influence in the sonic department and some writing quirks specifically show in Phoebe's work so thoroughly. such an underrated artist that definitely deserves his own flowers.
    moon song is my favourite from Punisher, it's the closest thing to perfection Phoebe has ever released and i have spent probably weeks on this song alone.

My first listen to Phoebe I was blown away by how much intentional inspiration/influence from Conor Oberst and Elliott Smith I was hearing;it was a bit like hearing the best version of the writer I could've become based on my childhood faves. I think Phoebe is one of the current big greats in the industry on never toeing the line between referential and derivative tbh
