There's an interview about this song on song exploder, where phoebe talks about when they first mixed it and were listening to it with her producer... the outro finishes he spins around in his chair with a single tear down his face and says "it's like you're looking back on your life and it's all been a failure" lol they took that as the best compliment haha I'll never forget that 😭

I love that she and Marshall can perform this song together.

"Anyway, don't be a stranger" really manages to capture letting a little bit of that that manipulative and abusive person into your life once everything is said and done. There are numerous interpretations, but damn. Gets me every time.

I’ve always understood that lyric as that time where you still wanna be friends with your ex even though that’s just an excuse to still have them in your life and keep up with them. And even though you know it’s unhealthy and you should cut it off totally, you can’t. Fascinating to hear what that means for everyone else.

for me dont be a stranger is when you want to still friend with someone but you both are getting old and are busy and the things are not the same, but you dont want that this person that you like so much became a stranger one day

@ivanl.8201

for me, "don't be a stranger" is sort of a like wanting to be friends with someone, but being too afraid to. Maybe the other person is very emotionally direct and honest, and I am just not capable of it at the time. Or maybe, it's the other way around, and they're not comfortable with parts of me, but I like them and don't want them gone. Sometimes, it's also about wanting connections in life, but just not even having the energy due to being too depressed, tired and burnt out with life. It really feels like it's like a cry for help type of phrase. A desperate extending of your hand to someone, yearning for their affection or friendship, and secretly hoping they'll somehow magically understand what you don't have the guts to tell them directly. Sigh :(

I’ve always seen this song as returning to a place you used to love weather it’s an old town or school or whatever. Being excited to see and reconnect with all your old friends again but slowly realizing time has moved on and those are no longer the same people you became friends with back when. “Don’t be a stranger” of course is the last thing that is said in the song just like it’s the last thing said in any awkward conversation with someone you haven’t seen in a while that you have no intention on seeing in the future either. She crushed it with this song. This is easily one of my top 5 favorite songs of all time.

Honestly this is her most underrated and underplayed song

Clacking Computer there’s a reason for that. It’s crap. Pub bands are better than this. Although they don’t look as gorgeous do they. One day I will find a new band made of of real musicians. This is an abysmal copy of Alanis Morrisette. They were par for the course in the 90’s. Now this nonsense and Pale Waves. Similar to this. Wear all black but play all major chords. Sorry...style Ive substance is killing music. How are One Direction more will known than Queens of the Stone Age? Or Ed Sheeran selling more records than Nine Inch Nails? Drake having more success than How to Destry Angels? Apathy music. There I’ve said it. Sorry. Needed that.

Clacking Computer. Odd how when someone like me makes a sound about modern pop I get told I hav no heart or feeling for modern music. As a session drummer, guitarist (rhythm and lead), synth and oscillator freak...Bitwig Studio and Omnisphere with Soundtoys Plug Ins who plays piano and reads music...I must have no heart. You say yourself “90%of mainstream music is is shit”. So thoughtful chap...why are you saying 90%? Are you judging 9/10 acts as shit? Makes you remarkably like me mate. I’m just saying 93%! I think Katy Perry is brilliant. I’m up for art. I’m not up for cliched crap dressed up as genius and then that fake genius gets supported by mainstream media...for a reason. I don’t think music is being made to be subjective. It’s targeted. Music to me is as sick as society. To me they always mirror each other...in many ways. Takes all sorts mate. The extreme ones like I have become...and to which I am so grateful. To those who will swear Drake is a genius. Do some comparisons between post and pre 2000 music. It’s shocking. One Direction or The Beatles? The 1975 or LED Zeppelin? Kanye West or Jimi Hendrix? Little Mix or ABBA? Drake or Prince? Justin Timberlake or Public Enemy? Ariana Grande or Kate Bush? The Yeah yeah yeahs or The Rolling Stones? Is this proving m6 lint or yours mate? I think I know and as a full time musician I think even more that I know. But its never going to provable either way. Opinions are a good thing though. Even from opinionated twats like me. You say 90% I say 93%. What’s the difference?

There were shit acts pre 2000 too just like there are fantastic acts post 2000.

When she says " do you feel ashamed when you hear my name " ? Then turns and looks at the drummer.... watching his face tells the whole story. It made me jealous and also not feel alone in being that hurt.

Jesus _Christ_ , Phoebe's voice is just the kind of voice that is entirely haunting, with or without the reverb - it reverberates in your damn *soul* . It makes me want to start sobbing every time. So irrefutably beautiful. Damn.

Everything about this is stunning , the camera angles, the outfits , the beautiful musicians, the background, the song , the lyrics , the mixing, the emotion. It's all perfect .

Once again Phoebe comes off as cool and elegant; so vulnerable but every lyric is so private. I have high hopes for her next album. Thank you for gifting us with your haunting beautiful lingering voice Phoebe. Magnificent instrumental work as well guys!

no it's not - Marshall came up with the song and Phoebe helped him finish it. He wrote it about a past shitty relationship with someone who is not Phoebe, they both talk about it on Song Exploder.

How is this so freaking beautiful 😭😭😭😭😭 ohmygodddd ...my ears have been blessed Every single live studio rendition of this song has its own charm .. absolutely love the violin and guitars in this one !!

This here. This is where I met my current favorite artist. Forever grateful for her existence.

An incredibly beautiful version of this song of hers...I especially love how she gives off brief smiles during certain lines...Struggle or despair in life is not always something that keeps you down...You learn from it & laugh about it & smile about it later on.

Listening to this while thinking about my coworker who left a few days ago to work abroad. He is probably the best coworker I’ll ever have. And i think there’s a few people who will agree with me when i say it’s a rare thing to have a work bestie on your first job. I told him am gonna visit him one day and we promised we will keep in touch. And I really hope we don’t become strangers. Ali Bin Afif. I will miss you so much and i wish you all the best in your future endeavors.❤️

Ugh. She never fails to make me feel something. Pure brilliance.

Man, this gave me shivers all over and brought a tear to me. The nostalgic and "lost love" sound this gives off is just incredible, almost tangible. Have only got into Phoebe in the past week or so. The backing vocals towards the end remind me of the vocals in the chorus of Goodbye Horses by Q Lazzarus

The song is about Marshall Vore (the drummer, they used to date). Vore was in one of Ryan Adams' bands (he went through many...) and when that group ended, it was due to, at least ostensibly, many of the members getting married and having (or getting ready to have) babies. I'd bet she went back and forth on the line when writing it as either works...just my guess

the outro gets me every time

Saw her live in Seattle a couple weeks ago, one of the best performances I’ve ever witnessed❤️ I love her so much and I can’t wait until she releases another album!

Just moved to Toronto from San Francisco in the middle of a pandemic and a lockdown. Damn! Re-listening to this just takes me back to driving through those redwoods to my ex-girlfriend. 'Anyway, Don't be a stranger!' That's exactly how I feel quarantining for two whole bloody months by myself.

Violin + Phoebe = gorgeous melody with a dreamy quality.

I’ve listened to this several times but never realized that she changed the lyrics for “they’re all getting married” to “they’re all having babies” and it caught me so off guard. Anyone else? Lol

amazing just amazing i have no words of how amazing this is

Walking Scott Street, feeling like a stranger With an open heart, open container I've got a stack of mail and a tall can It's a shower beer it's a payment plan There's helicopters over my head Every night when I go to bed Spending money and I earned it When I'm lonely, that's when I'll burn it Do you feel ashamed When you hear my name I asked you "How is your sister? I heard she got her degree" And I said, "That makes me feel old" You said, "What does that make me?" I asked you "How is playing drums?" You said it's too much shit to carry "And what about the band?" You said they're all getting married Do you feel ashamed When you hear my name Anyway, don't be a stranger Anyway, don't be a stranger Don't be a stranger

This is incredible. One of the best videos I’ve seen.

I've found new hope for today's music. Perfect harmonies. *Sigh*
