I Know the End is a good song, and I enjoy it quite a bit, but I see tons of people piling heaps upon heaps of praise on it, even some calling it one of the greatest songs ever, and I just don't get that lol Huh, I wouldn't have thought so many people would agree on that take, felt like it is generally regarded as an album highlight.Īlso implying the ranking is completely wrong otherwise? haha
Yeah the screaming in I Know The End is horrendous I'd put Funeral at 1 though and Scott Street is also better than Punisher and Saviour Complex. actually very correct wow, I thought not many ppl would agree with my Phoebe ranking. Punisher would occupy more of my top 10 than SitA, too. After Chinese Satellite the list is loosely ranked since I don’t really care about those songs.Īppreciate any Phoebe list but I Know The End is #1 for me. So basically Stranger in the Alps + Punisher t/t and Saviour Complex. “I buried a hatchet, it’s coming up lavender / the future’s unwritten, the past is a corridor / I’m at the exit, looking back through the hall / You are anonymous, I am a concrete wall” The title track of her latest album immediately struck a chord with me it’s been one of my favourite songs of her ever since. One of the two tracks from Punisher that are on par with her debut. The last part of the song is the best part. Gets extra points for helping me discover Mark Kozelek, currently my favourite artist after The National.īrilliant song, grew a lot on me over the last years. The beautifully drawn-out closer to her debut, a cover of a Sun Kil Moon song. Too bad there’s no real ending the song just sort of… stops. Good song, but the climax is a bit overblown in my opinion. I always lol at the “And if I could give you the moon / I would give you the moon”-part, sung as if these are the Most Important and Most Insightful lyrics on the whole album, followed by the even more dramatic “You are sick / and you’re married / and you might be dying”. I appreciate Bridgers trying new things, but I just don’t think it works out here the melodies aren’t memorable, the climax feels a bit random and the screams are just unpleasant to listen to. I never understood (the love for) I Know The End. Uninteresting song that goes on for too long.
