Lyrics:
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

Phoebe Bridgers - Scott Street (Official Video)

[bennewt]

this is a song about mourning. about yearning and longing and wishing to go back to a time, a place, a person who no longer exists

[kasihqistina]

scott street is not just a song. it is sitting next to your grandmother while they feed you sweets and laughed with you. it is the last day of school, the last bell in your school corridor, while you scanned all of your friends' faces because you may not see them anymore. it is hearing the wishes from your teachers for your final exams. it is sitting at one table with your parents for dinner along genuine giggles, before they get divorced. it is the last text you sent to somebody before you never talk to them again. it is going back to a place where you got your knees bleed. it is reminiscing times that can never repeat, holding onto memories that will forever be missed.

[vajnasan]

the "anyyyywaaaay don't be a straaangeeeer" outro could last forever, I wouldn't mind one bit

[muslimkurdi-sb]

03:00 best part crying my eyes out realizing i will never have fun again as i had when i was a child

[montsego]

This song lasts 5 minutes But hurts forever

[jakedoce]

Pain train starts here :( 3:00 all the nostalgias in life childhood trauma will flow like a flash mind to your mind

[hyang]

This song hits different when you graduate from high school and you're slowly understanding what the adults meant when they say don't grow up too fast. I want to rewind back to the time when things weren't so hard. Now, I'm 23 and I feel so lost in this big, big world. I don't even know what my purpose is or what I want to be. I feel worse than an empty plastic bag drifting along the icy wind. While my old classmates are slowly getting married and graduating, I'm still stuck in the same place. I feel like a loser and it totally sucks.

[sho_yanime]

“Do you feel ashamed, when you hear my name” hits too hard.

[humanze]

I can't pretend to know what her songs are about but her songwriting style has a way of constantly flicking a part of my brain and awakening memories of childhood traumas. Talk about tear jerking music. She has a rare gift.

[moze]

hits different when you’re growing older and the good times are in the past

[justinberling]

When the drums come in just before the line "I asked you how is playing drums" Ugh... it gets me every single time.

[matthewadamy]

I’m 62 and my mother, aged 86, just passed and she was all I had left of family. Now it’s only me and I realize I don’t have but a few pictures of her and I can never ask her about things in the past or family history or anything. This song brings out so many melancholy memories of her trips out west to visit me and holidays she always made such a fuss over. I’d give anything for another day or month or year with her. We had some great times together after my dad passed 38 years ago and she carried the family forward. Bye mom. I love you and miss you every day. This song is just a soundtrack over the constant stream of memories in my head. Especially when the bell begins to ring. Gets me every single time!

[afsheenrashid]

The self-loathing of having a piñata made of your likeness is kind of beautiful when Phoebe Bridgers does it.

[CyberPsycho]

"anyway don't be a stranger" i actually cried hearing that the first time, it cuts so deep

[reemia]

i love how phoebe wore dark lipstick to look distinguishable from the other phoebes

[jjkcykai]

It's like the different versions of you trying to get your inner child to heal you.

[martibanez]

Whoever came up with the concept of this mv deserves an applause

[emattera]

I am 21 years old, I left home 3 years ago, I live far away from my parents geographically and I see them very little. This year my grandmother on my father's side died, so my father came alone to her funeral and then to empty her house, I joined him for that. He came for a month, for a month I was with him every day to help him, it was hard for him emotionally and I think if he had been alone he would never have managed to empty the house.

You know, when you're a child you don't realise how precious the time you spend with your parents is. And when you've spent years away from them, you realise that you've already spent most of the time you'll never spend with them as a child and that as an adult you'll see very little of them. So during my stay with my father, we had a great time and most of all it was just the two of us, never in my life had I had so much time alone with my father.

Unfortunately, the day of departure arrived. I had spent a whole month without worrying about this moment, and when it arrived I felt a deep anguish to see him go, I didn't want him to leave. The day before he left, I cried in the shower like I hadn't in years, every tear in my body. I knew that I would see him again one day, but deep down I also knew that it was probably the very last time in my life that I would have the opportunity to spend so much time alone with him and that's what made me so anxious. Spending a month alone with him made me realise how much I loved him and how precious every minute with him was.

So when I listened to that song, it shattered me because I listened to it while I was there, and hearing it again afterwards brings back a lot of memories and makes me sad, but a good sadness.

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
