Utter garbage

And the Phoebe Bridgers part is a terrible reach

...Motion Sickness revealed the precocity of her songwriting. The standout single from Stranger in the Alps, it has amassed more than half-a-million views on YouTube and is an exquisite evisceration of a former lover. “I faked it every time,” she sings, before landing another blow to the solar plexus: “And why do you sing with an English accent?/ I guess it’s too late to change it now.”

The song, she tells me, is about the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Ryan Adams, whom she met in 2015. “A mutual friend in LA was like, ‘Ryan would like you’. He really was just trying to get me recording and trying to get Ryan to hear me, but Ryan was like, ‘Let me see a picture of her’.” Bridgers says that she and Adams “ended up hanging out all night and recording a song together called Killer. Then, a couple of weeks later, he was suddenly trying to hook up with me. I was super-down and had just broken up with my high-school boyfriend. We slept together on his 40th birthday and I’d just turned 20.”

She wrote Motion Sickness after they broke up. What did he think of it? “We were back on good terms by then but after I sent him the song he didn’t talk to me for 24 hours. Then he sent me a sweet text saying ‘it’s a great song’,” she says. “Yes, interesting character…”

The bridge of "Motion Sickness":

"You said when you met me you were bored
You said when you met me you were bored
And you, you were in a band when I was born"

Might she have been the inspiration for "Outbound Train"?

good one - but i think the separation/divorce claims that prize.
bored was the aftermath.

"The anger has subsided now. I have so much distance from it now, I have a different perspective."

[Tim Simmons]

Seems reasonable and truthful.

Moore then touched on her first marriage to musician Ryan Adams, which ended in a "devastating" divorce.

"It didn't sour my idea of romance or marriage or monogamy. I just chose the wrong person," she said. When Stern said she should have done a Braff with Adams and just done "two years in and out," Moore joked, "Maybe less!"

Though she denied Adams cheated on her, she explained, "We're just different, we were not meant to be. It was a very lonely life. Someone who's obsessed with themselves and obsessed with their work and wasn't able to be a partner or husband. The anger subsided for me now. I have so much distance from it now, I have a different perspective."

She added that new fiance Taylor Goldsmith "couldn't be more diametrically opposite" of her ex. "Life is good, I feel very lucky," she added. Moore also said she's "ready" for kids, but will have to time it out with her "This Is Us" shooting schedule. "I jump around in time, so it would be weird playing an older lady with a pregnant belly," she joked.

she never mentioned his name, stern never asked, and she said her dad never liked him. i'd transcribe it but i'm too lazy.

If the quotes above are all she said, I would actually she say probably was as kind as she could be about it, she probably could have said a lot worse knowing Ryan.
