Liar Phoebe Bridgers

Safe At Home Phoebe Bridgers

Independent's Day host Joe Armstrong brings you independent artists, producers and music industry visionaries with in-depth interviews, live performances and inside information - without hype and direct from the artists who practice their craft.

This week's guest is Phoebe Bridgers – a young singer-songwriter whose writing chops are years beyond her youthful voice. Bridgers and her songs are subtle and powerful, tender and commanding, vulnerable and confident - and she is unafraid to be all of these things at once. For an Independent’s Day preview, she played a Harrison Whitford song called, “Part Time Heart.”
 
Phoebe Bridgers’ full episode will be available at www.indepday.com and www.indepday.com/itunes at 7pm PDT on Wednesday, April 29th, 2015.
 
Tune in every Wednesday evening at 7pm Pacific Time, or download one of the Independent's Day podcasts.

The Player
     Words and Music: James Fields, Gary Clute

[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse]
In an antique blue rocker,
her throne with a view,
sits a Little Old player
and her friends are there, too.
Her card is a winner;
reserved just for her,
and any old evening
her voice can be heard.

[Chorus]
 She sings “Bingo! Bingo!”
in Little  girl style …
“Bingo! Bingo!” …
then runs up the aisle.
Still light as a feather
and quick as a smile,
it’s the Little Old Lady 
‘the player’ – the child.

[Verse]
 Each number is checked
they do it for show
like a Broadway production
the tension must grow.
With her wonderful prize
she dances away
and everyone smiles
to see her at play.

[Chorus]
 She sings “Bingo! Bingo!”
in Little girl style …
“Bingo! Bingo!” …
then runs up the aisle.
Still light as a feather
and quick as a smile,
it’s the little old lady –
‘the player’ – the child.

[Bridge]
 Now life, much like Bingo,
is played like a game
with cards full of options,
no two are the same.
St. Pete calls the numbers
and the angels all know
when your card is filled up
it’s your turn to go.

[Verse]
 Then one day it happened
her life card got filled.
While Pete checked the numbers
her rocker sat still.
And then when he nodded
in playful display
that heavenly chorus
sang with her today.

[Outro Chorus]
 They sang “Bingo! Bingo!”
in seraphim style
“Bingo! Bingo!”
with cherubim smiles.
The golden streets echoed
like children at play
when the angels sang “Bingo!”
when the angels sang “Bingo!”
Even St. Pete sang “Bingo!”
with the angels today

[Instrumental Outro]
