Phoebe Bridgers covers Daniel Johnston's "Peek a Boo" (Live at End of an Ear)

Recorded at End of an Ear records in Austin, TX 11/4/17
Not the best quality (banding! fluorescent lighting! ugh!) and shaky at the beginning, but I needed to put this up as it's an utterly spellbinding cover of the song. She has played it every time I've seen her in Austin and I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to record this up close at an in-store performance.
Enjoy! Sorry again for the poor video quality, but the sound should be ok. I'm just glad to be able to come back to this again and again.

    You don't need to apologize for the quality, because this was incredible. I actually just played this on KXLU, and like 50k people in LA heard it, because you captured it. Thank you for that.

    I think Bridgers covering Johnston makes perfect sense. Musically and lyrically, she's his descendant. We agree about how good this is, though. 😊

    I never knew who Phoebe was until i heard her do this cover. I always loved this song since i heard it over a decade ago. Daniel was so good at explaining the sadness and helplessness of depression. She does such a good job encapsulating that. You make me feel feelings Phoebe. I love this

    "Trying to make sense out of scrambled eggs". Beautiful. He's using Beatles metaphor's for the word "Yesterday", or saying "trying to make sense out of the past". Genius. This is the most beautiful version I've ever heard.
