I know this song is not really about dogs. I'm pretty sure it's about escapism after a relationship soured. But I still had a breakdown thinking about my dog while listening to it. He very likely has cancer but the vet recommended not operating because of his age. That line "Me and my dog and an Impossible view" had me bawling in my car in a strip mall parking lot.
@@yoonseosong3287 My dog is still alive. He has a cone on and will have one forever because he will bite at the growths on his groin. But he is unchanged since then. He is just an old dog that just eats and nothing else. I'm pretty much the same because of Covid.
I noticed this comment cuz you mentioned your age and at first I thought it may be a comment I made about boygenius (Phoebe Bridgers) because I too am 67 but female and love this band. LOL! I often wonder how many old people like me become fans of new musicians like boygenius. BTW, I saw Phoebe on an ASMR video w/ Itsblitzzz, and luckily one day decided to take Julias advice to listen to Phoebe Bridgers and loved her songs which led to boygenius. (Especially, Georgia, Emotional Motion Sickeness, and Kyoto!
“I never said I’d be alright. I just thought I could hold myself together. When I couldn’t breathe I went outside. Don’t know why I thought it’d be any better. I’m fine now. It doesn’t matter.”
This song is my dog's favorite. We would play this on repeat while I work and he sleeps/relaxes beside me. He passed away 2 years ago. And I always remember "we had a great day" because we really did have a great time together. When I miss him, I listen to this song.
The last two lines, especially the shattering vocal from Phoebe Bridgers to end the song sends shivers down my spine. So powerful. An absolutely amazing group of talented musicians and song writers.
ok so phoebe is literally the most beautiful woman i have ever seen. absolutely ethereal. oh my god when she hit that “i wanna be emaciated” i felt that
I love the way she rolls her eyes at the line "and you had a bad dream" - she is really reliving and seeing those memories in her mind as she sings. And then how painful it must be to dream about it all again. omggggg.
Phoebe is the best singer songwriter of her generation. The way she can just burp out brilliant lines like "I never said I'd be alright, just thought I could hold myself together," just blows me away.
My dog died 3 months ago, we used to listen this song because my ex gf left me and it was the only thing that used to keep me breathing, but now I can't stop thinking about how happy I was listen to Boygenius with my little dude 😥
I feel like Phoebe is hitting my ears at a distance, Julien is hitting them right outside my ear, and Lucy is inside my ear canal. They are all connecting, but at different distances.
The first time I heard this was at the beach with my dog. A few months later we were back and I took a photo of the pupper right as he was opening his mouth and the setting sun's rays look like they are surrounding him. Now when I hear this I think of me and my dog and an impossible view. 🙂
I watch this specific video so routinely that UA-cam now recommends it to me at the same time every morning and every night yeah I'm not holding it together too great lmao
Honestly, this recording in particular is incredibly special to me, and I'm sure, so many others. I don't know of many other pieces of music that can affect me the ways this version does.
It's even better in the version from Late Night With Seth Meyers which I'm having a hard time finding lately. She has a slight but intentional vocal crack when she changes registers during scream but it makes that live version even better and more endearing and it fits perfectly actually.
@@nouellette Hi, do to maybe know where I can find that version of the song? It is such perfection here that I cant even imagine anything better than this. Thanks in advance!
Every once in a while there's a song that brings back the idealistic view of life in the best possible way. Yall have that sound. Hope life treats you guys well and you keep making music for a long time
I just love going back to these videos, seeing everyone wishing for them to come out with another project and knowing WE ARE GETTING IT!! So so excited!
First exposure to Lucy Dacus was "I don't wanna be funny anymore". That was a revelatory experience, and with each successive song I've just been more and more impressed. What are some songs by the other members of boygenius that I should check out? Have hard this group referred to as a "supergroup", so I'm eager to check out the other members' material!
All three members are such consistently good songwriters that you could pretty much put their discographies on shuffle and always land on a quality tune. That said, my introductions to Phoebe Bridgers were “Georgia” and “Motion Sickness”, and Julien Baker was “Something” and “Rejoice” (from her second album you should absolutely listen to “Appointments”, “Hurt Less”, and “Happy to be Here” too)
Julien Baker is the first one I found out of the group. My favorites from her first album are "Sprained Ankle", "Everybody Does" and "Go Home". On her second album, "Turn out the lights", "Appointments", and "everything to help you sleep" But all of her songs are incredible! She also has some unreleased stuff floating around on the internet like "Red Door" which I love! Julien's songs are actually the reason I made it through high school in one piece. I love Phoebe Bridgers too, especially "Would You Rather" and "Scott Street". Her songs are super hauntingly beautiful. They make me happy and sad at the same time.
they're both really good, what got me into phoebe was actually her song smoke signals. julien's entire second album is amazing but funeral pyre really stands out
Julien Baker has done a few songs with Frightened Rabbit that are worth checking out, and if youve never heard of Frightened Rabbit give them a listen too 🤘
We had a great day Even though we forgot to eat And you had a bad dream Then we got no sleep 'Cause we were kissing I had a fever Until I met you Now you make me cool But sometimes I still do Something embarrassing I never said I'd be all right Just thought I could hold myself together But I couldn't breathe, I went outside Don't know why I thought it'd be any better I'm fine now, it doesn't matter I didn't wanna be this guy I cried at your show with the teenagers Tell your friend I'll be all right In the morning it won't matter I wanna be emaciated I wanna hear one song without thinking of you I wish I was on a spaceship Just me and my dog and an impossible view I dream about it And I wake up falling
everyday i have my silly little mental breakdown to this silly little song
Honestly this is my comfort UA-cam video. I watch this nearly every day. Therapy is expensive but “Me & My Dog” (Live at WFUV) is free
I feel you on that one
me too 😭
I'm sorry this made me laugh, I hope you're doing well.
oh silly you...me too.
i heard there was a small town in Norway that was getting 50% of its renewable energy from phoebe's voice at 2:39
I love this 😂
Same
😂😂 cute and I love her screaming singing 😍😍 gives me goosies
Am norwegian, can confirm
Oh, You People are so Beautiful, love You all 🤗🌹🙂
Phoebe belting those lines at the end just cured my depression
Big same
she single handedly cured and caused my depression
it made mine worse
@OneSilentGiant Biiiiig Nothiiiiiiiiiiing* fixed it for you ; D
you would enjoy Tyler Joseph from Twenty One Pilots screaming :)
I know Phoebe has blown up, and she has like 90 bands.... but I really hope we get more boygenius some time soon.
and fuck it, since I'm dreaming, why don't I add this: please add Arlo Parks and Julia Jacklin to the group
Not gonna lie, Lucy is the strongest songwriter.
@@IrvSauce & mitski
@@grundlefly Perhaps, but the weakest singer of the bunch. Of course this is just my opinion
@@grundlefly that's the fiddler right?
I need phoebe Bridgers to scream at me
SAME
I need her to step on me
ok, cool. so this is where the idea for I Know The End came from. Cool.
@@gustavolpfr this comment is my favorite thing ever
Same
Really wish Phoebe's vocals were like that on the studio version, just... wow
It's there. It's just way back and quiet in the mix. Listen closely.
@@Pratyushprusty1998 yea but it doesn’t feel the same 😢
@@anniehoney03 Sometimes a live recording has magic that a studio recording won't ever match.
It's always a good day when she uses her big voice
I know this song is not really about dogs. I'm pretty sure it's about escapism after a relationship soured. But I still had a breakdown thinking about my dog while listening to it. He very likely has cancer but the vet recommended not operating because of his age. That line "Me and my dog and an Impossible view" had me bawling in my car in a strip mall parking lot.
i know it’s been a while but i hope you’re doing okay and i hope peace finds u
@@yoonseosong3287 My dog is still alive. He has a cone on and will have one forever because he will bite at the growths on his groin. But he is unchanged since then. He is just an old dog that just eats and nothing else. I'm pretty much the same because of Covid.
Alberto Romero i’m glad to hear it!! i’m glad he’s living a long life :)
It it is about dogs in a way. I love my dog more than most people I know. When shit goes bad you will always have your dog.
I’ve been there and I know how devastating it is. Sending you hugs from California
"I wanna be emaciated" always scratches something in my brain
it's honest and so powerful. Gets me every time.
I am a 67 years old guy. Too old for rock and roll, and too young to die. I love these girls and their sound and lyrics.
What if I cried bc of this comment.
Don’t every say you’re too old
For rock n roll my friend. It’s timeless and so are you.
Poetic words. Thank you.
Never too old for good ol ' rock 'n roll -- it keeps body + soul liquid and in motion.

Hands down boygenius is one of the best things that happened 2018.
Didn't have much competition
wasn’t 2018 also the 30th year of the trump presidency?
Must've been a shitty 2018 for you.
I agree. 2018 was a shit year.
*ever
“I never said I’d be alright.
I just thought I could hold myself together.
When I couldn’t breathe I went outside.
Don’t know why I thought it’d be any better.
I’m fine now. It doesn’t matter.”
How did a public radio show (no shade) get the mixing on this better than literally every other show they've been on
y'all magic i stan
Late Night = best version
so true!!
@Emily - I couldn’t agree more!!!
the mixing is so good!!
because radio knows about audio
Phoebe just absolutely screaming her head off is something that can be so personal
phoebes belts.... omg i need to here more of that
that´s a problem since they are actually -there-
She’s amazing
@0Z239 108? Hm you mean folk-like music?
Phoebe has a ridiculous range
yikes
@@etagged why ya gotta be weird
@@etagged Good luck with that cuz I'm fairly certain she's gay
@@TheClever69 phoebe is bi, julien is gay
etagged but she’d probably be faking every time
Julien's guitar tone is like a warm hug.
Phoebe belting at 2:40 made me rethink my life. Maybe living is not so bad after all.
This song is my dog's favorite. We would play this on repeat while I work and he sleeps/relaxes beside me. He passed away 2 years ago. And I always remember "we had a great day" because we really did have a great time together. When I miss him, I listen to this song.
Our pups give us so much. Love to you and your memories.
@@Jane-b9p3w That they do! I miss him everyday. Thank you!
The last two lines, especially the shattering vocal from Phoebe Bridgers to end the song sends shivers down my spine. So powerful. An absolutely amazing group of talented musicians and song writers.
Phoebe screaming the last part always makes me bawl my eyes out. Love, love, love this song. Instead, it's me and my cats and an impossible view.
I am a 2-year-old dog. Exactly Phoebe's demographic. This makes me tear up.
Lucy Dacus is criminally underappreciated ❤
ok so phoebe is literally the most beautiful woman i have ever seen. absolutely ethereal. oh my god when she hit that “i wanna be emaciated” i felt that
You should check her out at ua-cam.com/video/Q_050nEIMqw/v-deo.html
I love the way she rolls her eyes at the line "and you had a bad dream" - she is really reliving and seeing those memories in her mind as she sings. And then how painful it must be to dream about it all again. omggggg.
Finding out this was filmed at my college dealt me so much psychic damage
I’m convinced this is the most beautiful thing to ever exist
Phoebe is the best singer songwriter of her generation. The way she can just burp out brilliant lines like "I never said I'd be alright, just thought I could hold myself together," just blows me away.
Some of her lines are copied from other people though..not cool!
@@danabella29i didn’t know that, what are some lines she copied?
Just Phoebe and her dawgs with an impossible view
Julien Baker = Coolest girl in the world
My dog died 3 months ago, we used to listen this song because my ex gf left me and it was the only thing that used to keep me breathing, but now I can't stop thinking about how happy I was listen to Boygenius with my little dude 😥
Oh, I am so sorry, so sorry Friend 😭😭😭 I lost my dog Pchełka 1.04.2019 and still can't live, can't breathe sometimes, hugs and love for You 😭🤗🐕
this performance changed the trajectory of my life
I feel like Phoebe is hitting my ears at a distance, Julien is hitting them right outside my ear, and Lucy is inside my ear canal. They are all connecting, but at different distances.
AND I DREAM! ABOUT IT! I WAKE UP! FALLING!
jesus christ they’re all crazy talented, i love them all
The first time I heard this was at the beach with my dog. A few months later we were back and I took a photo of the pupper right as he was opening his mouth and the setting sun's rays look like they are surrounding him.
Now when I hear this I think of me and my dog and an impossible view. 🙂
Damn, I wish I could see that!
okay but is Phoebe's belt at the end ever not going to give me chills!?!?
I tear up, every damn time
I watch this specific video so routinely that UA-cam now recommends it to me at the same time every morning and every night
yeah I'm not holding it together too great lmao
can i recommend slowly transitioning to letter to an old poet?
julien and phoebe seem like they're doing an impression of each other and thats all this world needs.
I love the music Lucy, Phoebe and Julien write together, there's something special about it
My day is not complete without hearing this at least once
For me personally, this is still, to this day; the best Boygenius song.
Honestly, this recording in particular is incredibly special to me, and I'm sure, so many others. I don't know of many other pieces of music that can affect me the ways this version does.
@@starskyhutch988 my fav is the performance at Brooklyn steel.
The harmony scream from the white haired one at the end.....
It's even better in the version from Late Night With Seth Meyers which I'm having a hard time finding lately. She has a slight but intentional vocal crack when she changes registers during scream but it makes that live version even better and more endearing and it fits perfectly actually.
Das my girl phoebe bridgers! Her music is insanely good
Josh Sit I think I have it downloaded! I’ll see if I can reupload it
@@tanujak98 help i need it lol
@@nouellette Hi, do to maybe know where I can find that version of the song? It is such perfection here that I cant even imagine anything better than this. Thanks in advance!
i have watched this 59x i swear
One of my favorite live performances of a song. You can just see them feeling the music and it’s so infectious.
i'm crying on a train in front of strangers because of this
This is their best performance of their best song. Beautiful camera and audio work as well. Just awesome.
I’ve listened to this so many times, and I know exactly what’s coming at 2:40, but it still just nails me every single time.
THIS IS A [boy]GENIUS SONG. Everything about it is PERFECT: voices, instrumental, lyrics and all in between! THE BUILD-UP IS OUT OF THIS WORLD.
Every once in a while there's a song that brings back the idealistic view of life in the best possible way. Yall have that sound. Hope life treats you guys well and you keep making music for a long time
play this at my funeral.
I was thinking the same thing, On my shortlist definitely... this version.
Phoebe screaming gives me the goosebumps… you must be completely dead inside if you don’t feel nothing listening to it.
It really is otherworldly.
There is so much talent poured into this song it overflows into my ears
I just love going back to these videos, seeing everyone wishing for them to come out with another project and knowing WE ARE GETTING IT!! So so excited!
By far the best recording of this track! Thank you radio station people.
Thank you ladies for putting everything you got into it.
Still one of my favourite boygenius songs
Just read about boygenius in the Wall Street Journal. My first listen. Terrific sound.
I'm 64 years old. This rocks hard af.
I WANNA BE EMACIATED WANNA HEAR ONE SONG W/O THINKIN OF U!!!!!!!!!
if i could only listen to one song for the rest of my life i swear itd be this
They are SO TALENTED
This is the best recording of this song by far.
It's amazing how much better this version is than the studio version.
Wow, I didn't think I could love this song any more but this performance is amazing!
This is for sure the best version of this song
Can't seem to stop listening to this song. Amazing!
She's an angel with blonde hair. What a great voice,
seeing Julien's expressions is my serotonin
I can see this song evolving for another 10 minutes
holy freakin wow what a performance!
boygenius was the greatest thing ever created
I know I'm late to the party but these women are tremendous, and this little song hits deep everytime.
Not to be dramatic but this video literally and figuratively transformed my soul
i love boygenius so much wow thank you for gifting us this
Always good to see my girl Camille. Sup Camille, big fan!
who?
@@bullsfan2021 She's the violinist that tours with Julien and she''s clearly an angel. 2:11
I love Camille too! it always makes me happy to hear her playing.
i come back to this video every week
chills chills chills chills
this is amazing, phoebe has the most craziest vocals right there..
I know this isn’t about a dog, but I sing the chorus to my dog whenever we see something cool on a walk
just me and my 🐕..and an impossible view...💘
crying over this
I’m really happy that y’all did this! Thanks!
i miss them
i am obsessed with this song
i cry to this song
this is such a heart shreddingly good song
i listen to you to commemorate my birth. and it magically showed up again today :) thank you for living and making life better.
Love all the faces Julien makes 🖤
holy mother of god why are these women so underrated like what the fuckkkk and PHOEBES VOICE THOOOO
HAPPY NEW BOYGENIUS DAY
holy. this is incredible.
This song made me sad so I browsed dog videos to cope afterwards. Great choice of song title!
I keep coming back here to hear Phoebe slay since the studio version doesn't sound like that. Beautiful either way but man she kills it here.
Wow the Mixing of this is so good
They’re perfect
I DREAMMMMM ABOUTTTTTTTT ITTTTTTTTTTT AND I WAKEEEEEEEEE UP FAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLINGGGGGG

When Phoebe hits the not at 2:40 my soul leaves my body.
She does belt it and stays in key
We had a great day
Even though we forgot to eat
And you had a bad dream
Then we got no sleep
'Cause we were kissing
I had a fever
Until I met you
Now you make me cool
But sometimes I still do
Something embarrassing
I never said I'd be all right
Just thought I could hold myself together
But I couldn't breathe, I went outside
Don't know why I thought it'd be any better
I'm fine now, it doesn't matter
I didn't wanna be this guy
I cried at your show with the teenagers
Tell your friend I'll be all right
In the morning it won't matter
I wanna be emaciated
I wanna hear one song without thinking of you
I wish I was on a spaceship
Just me and my dog and an impossible view
I dream about it
And I wake up falling
Absolutely love the amount of coverage and the editing here!
WHY IS THIS SONG SO FUCKING ADDICTIVE
