The instrumental track creates a bleak and beautiful soundscape, inviting listeners to focus on and truly feel the painful mix of emotions Bridgers describes. “Moon Song” is one of the most impressive songs in her discography. Her two studio albums, 2017’s “Stranger in the Alps” and 2020’s “Punisher,” are gorgeously austere, showcasing her gift for creating songs that are deeply emotional experiences. ILLUSTRATION BY HANNAH YOSHINAGA/ DAILY FREE PRESS STAFF “Moon Song,” by Phoebe Bridgers conveys the painful emotions of one-sided love. I listened to her entire catalog, falling more and more in love with her powerful lyrics and beautiful instrumentals. Bridgers’ songs are simple and conversational but have incredible depth. Since my first listen, I have fallen down a rabbit hole. That was all I knew about her before I jumped into “Punisher.” She is a 26-year-old singer-songwriter from California who, apparently, has a reputation for gloomy music. I first heard about Bridgers from friends, who joked about how truly depressing her 2020 album “Punisher” is. I’m not exaggerating when I say “Moon Song” by Phoebe Bridgers is one of the saddest songs I’ve ever heard.
