So much better then the 10.000 boring and bad guitar covers that are being done a lot. And she knows what the meaning is of this song, you can hear that. Instead of making somekind of corny over-emotional Birdy style song out of it she sticks to the meaning but makes it new. That's some true artists skills.
best really is subjective in this case, but one of my all-time faves is a cover by mac miller. always loved his raspy, world-weary singing voice. and i think the song takes on a different level of meaning when you take into account mac's life, and how it eventually ended. sad. so sad but so great.
Oh wow. This is such a gorgeous airy version. I've always thought Phoebe had a touch of what I like about Bright Eyes -- that kind of self-conscious, not quite perfect-ness about her voice (granted hers is more traditionally pretty than Conor's but I mean more that she doesn't autotune out the wobble and she's not so trained that you can't hear when she needs to take a breath etc etc) and a really poetic honesty to her lyrics. This particular song has always meant a lot to me, it came out a couple years after I started dating my partner. We were states away from each other so we would drive (or be driven, rather, by greyhound, we were both in high school when we first started dating) all night just to see each other in the morning. When this album came out we both definitely got sentimental. Welp it's 20 years later and we're still together. (WEIRD. WE'RE OLD. KINDA. ALSO WE WERE YOUNG.) And I'm glad I picked "working for a paycheck". But this version definitely tugs at the heartstrings in a totally new and different way.
@@jacobdrenick this is obviously of dubious legality but there is software which can rip files from deezer directly there used to be one called freezer, you might be able to get a better quality version that way, obviously it would be great if it could just be downloaded legitimately somewhere but I think that's the best you can do
I adore Phoebe. and I love this cover. but the original is still better. Conor's voice just gives something to the lyrics that no one else can. please get well Conor. we need you around to keep inspiring and teaching the younger generation. you're a damn icon
@@Goblintooth he's been really messed up this tour, either from alcohol or drugs, to the point that they've had to cancel shows because he can't remember the words. Stuff like that
never thought of Phoebe covering this. But now it makes so much sense. Everything she touches just becomes a fluffy cloud.
I like this picture, it describes it perfectly!
she is friends with the guy from bright eyes
@@ratman8670 yes! and connor oberst helped with the songwriting on punisher too
@@ronnie5021and of course their joint project, Better Oblivion Community Center
I so wish this was on Spotify I can’t stop listening...
Everything Phoebe touches turns to gold. Beautiful….
This is the best cover of this song I ever heard.

lol, came back to this with the queue/window closed, had a bit of a breath catch, and came to comment before realizing i'd already waxed poetic.
I may or may not be crying... no one will ev..eve...ever know

Does anyone hear some subtle daniel johnson vibe in this? Nice lil cover.
I never thought about that before but you're 100% right. This has real Daniel Johnson vibes
