This song just breaks me every time I hear her play it. That one line, "Part of me wants you, but all of me needs you" is just brutal, so honest. I am there now.
I can never get enough of this song. "I feel your fingers in the darkness. They don't touch me, but there's a danger." "Part of me wants you, but all of me needs you." omg
Because the interviewer believes she as meaningful as the music. It is the narcissistic impulse that says, if it ain't about me, then it doesn't matter.
Well, I am tired of being sad. I feel it when I wake up, And it just stays bad... Hits me like a sickness, Or a steamroller... And it makes me wanna lay down, And get run over... But then I see you, Always smiling, Makes me wanna touch you, And keep from dying... You're a brother to me, You're my partner in crime, You're the feeling I get, When I'm feeling fine, And a part of me wants you, But most of me needs you, So I won't fall unless you ask me to... We talked for hours, Until finally, Sleep takes over, The amphetamine... And in the darkness, I feel your fingers; They don't touch me, But there's a danger... You're a brother to me, You're my partner in crime, You're the feeling I get, When I'm feeling fine, And a part of me wants you, But most of me needs you, So I won't fall unless you ask me, You're a brother to me, You're my partner in crime, You're the feeling I get, When I'm feeling fine, And a part of me wants you, But most of me needs you, So I won't fall unless you ask me to...
I struggle to comprehend just how sensational this artist is - she just blows me away!!! In amongst my thousand of albums Phoebe just blows me away, arrests my soul n' makes me sane.
knowing about the meaning of the song...it encouraged me to confess to my friend about my feelings...and now...we are together and i couldn't be happier
Everytime I think Phoebe can't get "any more beautiful than that", I come across something like this!!!! To spend a day in her shoes... OMG. If Phoebe does not touch your heart or make you feel, then you have neither. If you have neither, and you listen, she has then given you both. I weep.
here because it’s not on spotify anymore, and i realized that this song almost perfectly sums up my current relationship situation. especially that first verse!! it’s impossible to tell if it’s unrequited or not, he’s so caring, gentle, and affectionate to me, but i found out he’s currently in a long distance relationship last week. it’s a very not ideal situation, but phoebe and boygenius are single handedly getting me through it
...Am I the only one who didn't mind that little snippet in between? It felt like documentary style, revealing a little more about the beautiful person singing. Didn't mind it. Least she wasn't singing over that part. Also, just an aside: holy c r a p, Phoebe's music never falls short of extraordinary. Wish more people knew about her.

I feel this way about my best friend who is dating an old friend of mine. I fell out of touch with the friend and started talking to my best friend more and we’ve talked every day since. He’s helped me though a lot and things have been tense lately with him pulling back a little worrying about how some of the things he says may be misconstrued when he’s being affectionate. It really hurts to reassure him that I understand everything he says is platonic and act like I don’t love him because he’s in a happy committed relationship and I want him to be happy.
Describes my relationship with someone very close to me - we could have written these lyrics word for word. She's perfect as she is, and what we have is perfect the way it is right now; neither of us ever want to "mess it up".
Justyn Caballero I saw Conor last in May at The Greek Theater. They sung Lua together & it was incredible. I might post the video that of (almost) the entire song
Love her music...but why cut to a question in the middle of the song? As a musician, that's disrespectful. But anyway, Phoebe has great talent. Love Motion Sickness and Funeral. If you kids like this, check out Julien Baker.
I really hope this girl continues to do her own thing and not get caught up by some record company wanting to make her the next Taylor Swift or some crap artist. She's just brilliant.
I love her a lot...But, whether you like her or not, I would think that one has to admit that she has pretty much tapped into the ethos of her generation...
