  •  Před 2 měsíci

    I'm very grateful that Phoebe Brigers's voice and can penetrate through a crudely healed broken heart, and start piecing it back together as it should be. I'm just discovering all these new songs by her such as Waiting Room, this cover and Motion Sickness being some of the new songs that I've heard today.
    My introduction to her was about 6 years ago with her rendition of Steamroller. I Guess I wasn't ready for all these other songs until now, my broken heart didn't have the strength to be able to hold the fragile emotions of these new songs, until now. I never forgot the impact that her voice from Steamroller gave me, I'd listen to it on Spotify several days for a week, for some weeks, when I came across it.
    I'm glad that Spotify removed it, because it was CZcams's suggested clips that have taken me where I needed to be at this point in my recovery from the heartbreak of repressed grief. 💔❤❤‍🔥
