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 playin' drums?"
You said, "It's too much shit to carry"
"And what about the band?"
You said, "They're all gettin' married"
Do you feel ashamed
When you hear my name?
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Anyway, don't be a stranger
Ooh
Ooh
Anyway, don't be a stranger
Ooh
Ooh
Don't be a stranger
Ooh
Ooh
Scott Street Video (MV)
"Scott Street" is a song by Phoebe Bridgers. It is the fifth track on her debut album, Stranger in the Alps.
"Scott Street" is a hauntingly beautiful track that showcases Phoebe Bridgers' evocative songwriting and raw vulnerability. It's a melancholic masterpiece that captures the ache of nostalgia and the bittersweet ache of a past relationship.
The lyrics are deceptively simple but profoundly resonant. Bridgers uses everyday imagery like "a stack of mail" and "a shower beer" to paint a vivid picture of loneliness and longing. Lines like "Do you feel ashamed when you hear my name?" convey a powerful mix of vulnerability and lingering resentment. The melody is sparse and mournful, perfectly mirroring the emotional journey of the lyrics.
The production of "Scott Street" is understated, letting Bridgers' voice and lyrics take center stage. The subtle addition of strings and percussion towards the end adds depth and a sense of swelling emotion. The final moments, with bike bells and an echoing train whistle, create a poignant sense of something fading away. This song is a quiet gut punch, evoking the universal feelings of loss, longing, and what-ifs that linger after a relationship ends. Bridgers' honest, whispered vocals make the song feel intensely personal.

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 playin' drums?"

"And what about the band?"
You said, "They're all gettin' married"
Do you feel ashamed
