I'm sure that a 52-year-old father of three adults isn't the target demographic for either Phoebe or Noah & Abby, but after finding Phoebe's Motion Sickness, I soon found Noah's Lover...and I have been avid fans of both since. Independent of each other, they are extremely emotional singer/songwriters...something this world needs more and more of every day. They also both have the ability to strip down their songs, play them in a group, with an acoustic guitar, or a piano and violin. Together...in this back-to-back combination of songs...well, this is nothing short of perfection. The harmonies, the pianos, but without the emotion in all three of their voices - it would just be a good performance. It isn't. It's magic. Beethoven once said, ""To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable." As a kid who played the piano and whose mother would let him know when he made a mistake on songs of her choosing, I stopped playing in high school. Picked it up again in college, then life got in the way. I've gotten back into it just last year, and had even played in a new band, my first gig ever - before the world changed. Those of you who play an instrument, or whose voice is one - do it with passion. That's what makes this something I must stop everything and watch and listen to - each and every time. (Sometimes I even watch it again, and type a comment for what seems like the entire 8 minute performance.)

I wanted to say thank you. Don't know if you guys will ever see this but I need to say it. I met my best friend asking for a duet partner to sing this with me. A year ago he was killed trying to protect his boyfriend from being the victim of a hate crime. Both families disapproved so his bf and I were left to plan and pay for everything on our own. I sang this as a solo at his funeral. It makes me cry everytime. But it means so much to me, that he can live through this song. Thank you! ❤❤❤

seriously, this breaks my heart and at the same time it fills me up with light. the talent in this video is ridiculous

Can we all appreciate the brilliance of their three part harmonies from 6:44-6:55?

It is almost ironic how well these two beautiful songs run parallel to each other, and merge so gracefully together.

Daaaaamn I wish they would collaborate on every song ever

When you hear their own songs respectively it's amazing that they wrote this masterpiece combination. Could not have been done any better. Literal emotion evoking perfection.

LYRICS Sometimes I think I'm a killer Scared you in your house Even scared myself by talking About Dahmer on your couch But I can't sleep next to a body Even harmless in death Plus I'm pretty sure I'd miss you Faking sleep to count your breath Can the killer in me Tame the fire in you? Is there nothing left to do for us? I am sick of the chase But I'm hungry for blood And there's nothing I can do But when I'm sick and tired When my mind is barely there When a machine keeps me alive And I'm losing all my hair I hope you kiss my rotten head And pull the plug Know that I've burned every playlist And given all my love Can the killer in me Tame the fire in you? I know there's something waiting for us I am sick of the chase But I'm stupid in love And there's nothing I can do And there's nothing I can do Nothing ever comes like it did when you were in it Just a memory of a kid, just a washed out finish Just a pain-in-the-ass Johnny Cash middle finger No shooting up drugs, no quitter is a winner Nothing ever comes like it did when you were in it Keeping nothing for yourself like a stone cold killer Now you're passing your people like a ship in the night Looking to every stranger for a fight Nothing ever comes, ever comes if you call it Choking like a dog, like a dog on a collar Open up your mouth, your mouth if you want it Listen for the sound, the sound, the sound is coming down Hoping that you like, that you like how you're living Relying on the kindness of strangers that you will be forgiven How many times, how many times will you shit on what you're given? How many times, how many times 'til you shut up and listen? Nothing ever comes, ever comes if you call it Choking like a dog, like a dog on a collar Open up your mouth, your mouth if you want it Listen for the sound, the sound, the sound is coming down Nothing ever comes, ever comes Choking like a dog, like a dog Open up your mouth Listen for the sound, the sound, the sound is coming down Nothing ever comes, ever comes if you call it Choking like a dog, like a dog on a collar Open up your mouth if you want it Listen for the sound, the sound, the sound is coming down

The selfishness of wanting the suffering of the one you love to end, even if he too wants it to stop - makes you a "killer." The hardest love is the letting go. The hardest love is the letting go because the end is accepted. Every death, every divorce knows this. The precious has to pass without us, not you and I, but Us. The beauty of together stops suddenly. And in the aftermath, how to deal with the guilt? Trying to break free, only to choke on the collar that holds your guilt back. You did the right, but it feels like your love was somehow the end of the love itself. Come up for a breath. Realize in the open air, there is freedom in the beauty of letting them go, to let love live again.

This version of THE SOUND is absolutely perfect!!!

I am also a 53-year-old mother of three adult children😉 I found this song on Spotify and I haven't been able to listen to anything else for several days. It touches me in so many ways. Thanks 🙏

Just rewatched this and it hit me a lot harder the second time around. Not just as a pretty song, but as a musician. There’s so much more than conviction here- There's pain wrapped up in the beautiful melodies, and they all converge in a really vulnerable place. This is the difference between singing a song and living it. If you don't bleed a little (emotionally), you might never find that place where art and pain and beauty and joy all coalesce into something real yet transcendent at the same time.

Abby Gundersen is such a great musician, her playing binds the whole set together

For the people wondering about Noah's face He got punched at the bar by a guy the night before the Seattle concert this last tour At the concert he joked about Phoebe did it

Coming back to this 3 years later I can’t believe this is how I discovered phoebe Bridgers. These two are my current favorite artists on the last few years and I’d kill to see them together again.

I don't think I've been emotionally moved by a song in so long. This piece of art is so healing. 🖤

The fact I can’t listen to this 8 min song without an ad just makes me lose faith in humanity. Beautiful song. Wish KZfaq didn’t interrupt that feeling I was feeling before the ad started.

Best 8 minutes of my day. Every single day.

This gotta be the most beautiful thing I have heard all year. They literally pour their soul into this performance.

“and when i’m sick and tired and my mind is barely there when a machine keeps me alive and i’m losing all my hair i hope you kiss my rotten head and pull the plug” a love so deep, so all-consuming that you will let yourself whither away and die, still holding on tight to the other. a lover that watches as you fade away, a lover that will hopefully someday put you out of your misery. the pain in this song is tangible. truly breathtaking.

They really need to do a whole album together.

perfect combination

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

2:24 Phoebe's "a-all" gives me the chills on every part of my body, inside and outside

Amazing song. Can we get some love for the audio engineers on this one.

her voice is absolutely flawless

Once in a while something unexpected comes up on KZfaq when you're listening on autoplay that just takes your breath away with it's beauty and simplicity. Nice job Phoebe, Abby, and Noah.

When KZfaq manages a tiny bit of magic and introduces you to the most beautiful moment of music possible.

YES... Such amazingly talented people...

Again, a 52 yr old. This is such a beautiful, amazing performance, moves me to tears without fail every time 😢

After the harmonies on "How many times, how many times" and Noah sings "will you shit on what you're given?" wow... so fragile and tender 5:32

I can't read this without tearing up. I feel my loved ones getting older and being there by their side while they whisper this song as the life slowly fades away. "But when I'm sick and tired And when my mind is barely there When a machine keeps me alive And I'm losing all my hair I hope you kiss my rotten head And pull the plug Know that I've burned every playlist And I've given all my love"

This Noah guy has been fkn my shit up for a week. What rock am I living under?

I listen to this song at least 3 times each day like I don't even get half of it, it's just so so beautiful. Certain turns of phrase, certain lines just hurt

Why is someone always cutting onions when I listen to this? 😄 All of Phoebe's stuff has a soul which is so relatable. Beautiful!

I love this arrangement so much that I had my daughter dance to it at my wedding. Looking forward to seeing Phoebe in Salt Lake City in a couple of weeks, and hoping that Noah and his family come back to Utah soon. Thank you so much for music that is so sincere and so deeply moving. I hope you realize how much your art enriches people's lives.

I have only recently found Phoebe's music. It has become my new obsession. And this is amazing! I need to dive into Noah's work now too.

Blew my mind. Hauntingly beautiful. Wonderful song. I'm literally speechless.

There is so much life in the souls of Phoebe and Noah! I'd pay a lot to see this live.

This is the most beautiful song I've ever graced my ears with in my life.

This song absolutely kills me. I hope they do more collaborations. The three of them harmonizing together is pure emotion for me.

I'd do some unlawful things for this sheet music

A week ago I loved this song. Today it hurt too much to listen to it. Love death and time weigh heavy on the wounded heart.

Chills. Stunning vocals from everybody. More collaborations, please!

Phoebe, Your voice and song will always blooms in the beautiful sadness. I have followed your music since your EP and you became what you always were, a joy to my night drive playlist. From Malaysia xx

There's the music, the harmonies, the chemistry, the ubiquitous drone filling the blank spaces, and the handover from track to track, and those checks would suffice to call this video very good. Yet, for some other reasons I cannot fathom right now, this is something else than very good: This could well be the most *lovely* music video I've seen in my life.

Wonderful performance and amazing audio engineering.

Always keep coming back to this tune. Such lovely chemistry.

Sittin here in the middle of the night fighting my demons as they try and destroy the heaven I built and this song is just giving me the strength to defeat my internal opposition

It's a classic. Those songs are timeless and they just nail it together. I never grow tired of listening to them

Complete masterpiece of music, poetry and artistry

Noah, you and Abby you are amazing. So good.. keep doing what you are doing

This is the first time I've listened to Noah's voice...I just started crying when he began to sing.

This is one of the most beautiful collaborations I have heard in some time. Well done one and all!

It's presence & passion is what I love about the combined track and will never get tired of listening!!

This was my first introduction to Phoebe, and I am so glad. Also, this is what Heaven sounds like.

pheobe blows me away on a regular basis - so deep - so beautiful and so talented !

I've listened to this many times and still can't get over how good it is

Goosebumps 😱❤️ beautiful guys!! Love it ☺️❤️

This just gets better each time I revisit it. I am a fan of Phoebe and Noah and Abby and the unique but relatable emotions they paint with their music so it intrigued me that they recorded together. When I first heard it, I liked it but was thrown by it because I was just trying to understand how the songs fit together. The more you listen to it though, you begin to let their performances and words really marry and sit with you, and it fascinates me how these two songs begin to create a deeper meaning like a good book, but with music. It's not clear to me exactly what it is, and I'm sure it's a little different to everyone who hears it, but it really taps into quite a feeling listening to these two songs back to back in such a fluid way.

Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the piano in this! I came through to this from autoplay on youtube and I can't wait to listen to more from you all! I've seriously replayed this maybe 10 times so far. Amazing

This is one of the most beautiful things I've seen and heard. The piano, the individual voices and the harmonies. It's just so good. 🙌💙

This just keeps getting better each time I come back to this song. It is so good!

One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Both incredible artists in their own right ♥️.

Oh boy am I feeling blessed after listening to this

I have never heard of any of these people but for the love of music this is simply irresistible

why is the title for this video a complex math equation?

Beautiful song... music to me is like air, can't live without it. Thank you ❤️️☮🎵🎵🎶🎼

Wow!!! I want a full album of collaborations between these three!!! This is amazing!!

The best harmonies ever!! So moved by their voices. Hope they do more songs together

Whoever decided to put an ad in the middle of this video needs… a hug

this song holds such intense and intricate emotions, I feel this song in the same part of my chest every time I listen. absolutely amazing.

I cant stop listening to this, its just simply incredible

Watching this for the 2nd time around has SO MUCH more emotion as the one I have loved a lifetime just left my side. Thank you Noah, Abby & Phoebe for the much needed hard cry.

Stuff like this reminds you why music is important. beautiful.

I've now seen and heard the most beautiful thing that this life can possibly offer.

music that draws emotion out of the listener is a long lost art this revives my hope in the music industry

A drop kick to the heart... Brutally beautiful.

I've heard this before, but, it's the first time I've listened to it. Gorgeous.

I think this version of Killer is the only song I’ve ever heard that describes how deeply sad I am

Exquisite! some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard: and those harmonies!!! Wonderful

i'm so glad spotify recommended me this track because i am now utterly obsessed with phoebe and i don't think that'll ever change

I'd love to be Phoebe's friend

Nothing like an ad break in the middle of this emotional piece of music. It really sells the meaning of the song.

oh my gosh 💜 both of their voices together will kill me for sure. it's like my life is fulfilled with this one song, particularly this arrangement. aah. i can go in peace, whenever it comes. thank you.

Beautiful.. so glad I heard this ❤️❤️❤️

The Civil wars died for this.

Three of the best here. Love it.

i love this song 🥺. this song is my top song on my spotify wrapped 2019 thingy as well 🖤.

This song reminds me of someone I love . I wonder if he is doing alright sometimes . Its silly how I always come to this place every time I miss him.

I just love this whole piece. So wonderfully done- great partnership. So calming and beautiful. Saw NG in Boise twice- never disappoints and SOOOO worth the babysitter each time.

Anyone else hear the subtle spin of the reel to reel? This is such a magical piece. Thanks for making my heartbreaking day well mended with your ear drum massage.

i listen to this song everyday and somehow i still never get tired of it.

Hey - I'm a 62 year old singer musician and I dig these two together & independently. Lots of talent there including Abby. Yep keep putting the good stuff out there. You all so rock!

Everything that makes music magnificent. Bravo

Me too, same story , I'm 53. Never thought I would be listening to this stuff. Now I have to hear Phoebe every day. I'm sooo not tough! Thanks for making me realize it!

I've listened to this on repeat for about 4 hours now. It hurts but thank you

This is such a masterpiece. EAch one of them are so great. Not only technic, but wow, the muscality inside this is overwhelming(which IMO is the most important thing). Im speechless. Congrats and THANK YOU!

sounds perfect... something magic hearing this angelic voices
