    OMG directed by Japanese Breakfast, never realised that. Holy shit she is so talented!
  • @CodyAlushin
    It’s so nice to see Conor look like he’s genuinely having fun.
  • @rrrooorrr
    I recognize everyone in this video and I think that just means I've been following phoebe's instagram for too long.
  • I like that Phoebe has released more collab work than solo work this early in her career. Talent is meant to be shared!
  • This video is equal parts of cuteness and existential dread. The best ingredients to give me emo feels

    "that ghost is just a kid a sheet"
    the introspective beauty and honesty, the sonic bravery of sound!!! phoebes, conor! <3
  • @drummin4gold
    With Conor being one of my favorite songwriters of all time and Phoebe being such a brilliant young flame in the industry, it’s a beautiful thing to see them connect for this album. Dylan Thomas will probably hold up as one of my favorite singles of the year. Hell, the album will probably land high on my lists as well.

    COVID even took away dying from a seizure on the barroom floor :(
  • It was quite early one morning
    Hit me without warning
    I went to hear the general speak
    I was standing for the anthem
    Banners all around him
    Confetti made it hard to see
    Put my footsteps on the pavement
    Starved for entertainment
    Four seasons of revolving doors
    So sick of being honest
    I'll die like Dylan Thomas
    A seizure on the barroom floor

    I'm getting greedy with this private hell
    I'll go it alone, but that's just as well

    These cats are scared and feral
    The flag pins on their lapels
    The truth is anybody's guess
    These talking heads are saying
    "The king is only playing a game of four dimensional chess"

    There's flowers in the rubble
    The weeds are gonna tumble
    I'm lucid but I still can't think
    I'm strapped into a corset
    Climbed into your corvette
    I'm thirsty for another drink

    If it's advertised, we'll try it
    And buy some peace and quiet
    And shut up at the silent retreat
    They say you've gotta fake it
    At least until you make it
    That ghost is just a kid in a sheet

    I'm getting used to these dizzy spells
    I'm taking a shower at the Bates Motel
    I'm getting greedy with this private hell
    I'll go it alone, but that's just as well
  • I'm really loving the Elliott Smith vibes coming from this song.
  • @cjschaff5793
    Named my first born son after Conor. Love this song and all his music. The best song writer on earth. Pheobe is amazing too. Love both of them so much.
