The line: "...Looked like Mamah Borthwick on that Shining Brow of Taliesin" is so genius, Taliesin means "Shining Brow" and the whole incident included makes me respect Frank Loud Wright and his care for others through his constructions! Beautiful done bye Phoebe, she gives a high toned and melodical rendition of a golden Oberst song(which is still imo the best).
Still to this day…. One of my favorite covers of all time thank you lady for this gorgeous rendition of one of the most under the radar (for me) songs written by conor. Love you!
If you’re attempting to criticize Phoebe, true So Cal natives tend to be laid back. Her influences are other So. Cal artists, like Jackson Browne. Conor is a one of a kind wordsmith. I don’t think his work will be appreciated by the masses until he’s gone and that’s probably a good thing. He’s probably just enough famous to earn a living and play music. I love this song, it’s a lyrical masterpiece if you know the subject matter. A very sad story about a man who tragically lost his muse.
Lyrics: You don't have to flaunt it With an endless stream of famous men Pretty as a portrait Looked like Mamah Borthwick On that Shining Brow of Taliesin Someone might try and burn it down So you'll have to put the fire out Fortunes spent but that's irrelevant to build something that's sacred till the end It cost twenty dollars to visit Fallingwater It's the perfect house where no one lives Maybe someone once did but they got evicted by a busload full of greedy tourists And it would take a time machine To fulfill all of my fantasies 'Cause a hidden dream can be embarrassing And the only thing that's sacred till the end Every time I tempt fate There's a major earthquake Heard the people scream as the ceiling fell Every building damaged Only one left standing It was Frank Lloyd Wright's Imperial Hotel A rumination in my mind Winding like the ramp at the Guggenheim I'm not content But I'm feeling hesitant to build something that's sacred till the end
It's so very hard for me to comment here. You are absolutely amazing. And truly a beautiful looking woman. If I had that tight rope, I would surely fall. But you stay steady now - you walk that tight rope and continue to share the beauty that is in you. Seriously, you're music is amazing and doesn't come along in the full package very often (my wife also has that).

One of the top 5 songs conor has written. Sung by someone who deeply appreciates him.
Quarantine Phoebe is iconic forever.
i have probably watched this video 50+ times. she really does this beautiful song justice.
“I’m not there yet but I’m feeling confident to build something that sacred till the end” ❤️
His songs are short stories with line of timeless wisdom sprinkled in

He wasn't attempting to criticize Phoebe. He simply implied that other songwriters can't come close.
Lyrics:
You don't have to flaunt it
With an endless stream of famous men
Pretty as a portrait
Looked like Mamah Borthwick
On that Shining Brow of Taliesin
Someone might try and burn it down
So you'll have to put the fire out
Fortunes spent but that's irrelevant to build something that's sacred till the end
It cost twenty dollars to visit Fallingwater
It's the perfect house where no one lives
Maybe someone once did but they got evicted by a busload full of greedy tourists
And it would take a time machine
To fulfill all of my fantasies
'Cause a hidden dream can be embarrassing
And the only thing that's sacred till the end
Every time I tempt fate
There's a major earthquake
Heard the people scream as the ceiling fell
Every building damaged
Only one left standing
It was Frank Lloyd Wright's Imperial Hotel
A rumination in my mind
Winding like the ramp at the Guggenheim
I'm not content
But I'm feeling hesitant to build something that's sacred till the end
rad
Original stands on its own, but she's worthy
tik tok better not get its paws on this
