This version compliments the original so well to me. Bo Burnhamâs is like youâre trying to find something to hold on to, but youâre isolated from the rest of the world as you watch things unfolding. Youâre becoming lost and you wish it wasnât happening this way.
Phoebe Bridgersâ version is like the aftermath, where youâve become so distant from everything, that youâre floating away into outer space now. The ending has already happened. Youâre sad to be surrendering, but also at peace knowing that itâs okay not to fight anymore.

I love the last verse, "Hey, what can you say, we were overdue". It's so terrifyingly upbeat, like a post-apocalyptic retrospective of what caused the apocalypse. For me it evokes images of someone singing folk songs around a campfire, with death and destruction all around them. Beautiful lyrics by Bo, and a stunning and faithful reprise by Phoebe

This song is giving me a serious gut-wrenching existential dread that I don't think I've ever legitimately felt before... like I enjoy the song but it also makes me uneasy and sad for all of humanity... like a deadpan joke about the end of the world that seems grounded in an uncomfortable truth

I think the reason this cover is so powerful to me is because so much Millennial humour feels like itâs about half-engaging with this sense that something is deeply wrong, and this feels like that thing underneath bubbling up from beneath at long last? Obviously the song is literally about that anyway, but this version somehow brings it home

âThe quiet comprehending of the ending of it allâ and âitâll be over soonâ.. some of the most beautiful lines. Everything about this song is so raw, comforting, real, and just utterly beautiful. Itâs like being nonchalant towards the world ending and just saying âfuck it, it is what it isâ and choosing to live your last moments to the fullest, in the best ways you can, instead of dreading the end. âItâll be over soonâ brings you that comfort and peace, while you still feel the dread of an apocalypse lingering in the background. What a song đŞđŤđ¤

I earnestly love this cover but I have to share this somewhere: I started working in the office for a tourist destination recently, my desk is on the second floor above the check-in desk. They added this to the background music playlist the other day. Hearing this distantly as I do my little first emails job in the midst of everything is...too on the nose. I pass the demolition site of a mass shooting every day on my way there. I worked in a grocery store until I got the aforementioned job, through 2020 and everything. I've struggled with my mental heath for years and never done anything about it. Every time this song plays at work I very nearly get up, walk out, and walk into the woods outside. So there's that

The fact Bo was in the audience for this makes me quite happy
