"Garden Song" opened the Punisher chapter for Phoebe Bridgers in 2020, the lead single from her second album, released through Dead Oceans. She wrote it with Christian Lee Hutson and Marshall Vore, produced it with Tony Berg and Ethan Gruska, and plays baritone guitar on it herself, with Vore and Jeroen Vrijhoef on background vocals and Mike Mogis on the mix.
It's a folk rock ballad that drifts in on a haze of shimmering synths, dreamlike and everyday at the same time: a fairytale house up on a hill, overrun with roses and maybe a ghost or two, a trip to the doctor, a nod to the Pasadena she comes from, and old memories of waiting to grow up. Bridgers has said it's about how things come true the more you think about them, and about her own growth.
