Scott Street

“Scott Street” is one of a handful of songs Bridgers co-wrote with former flame (and current bandmate and drummer) Marshall Vore.

Bridgers has said in the past that the song is partly about her relationship with Vore, though when speaking with Song Exploder in 2019, the pair said the song is primarily about another relationship that Vore was in. In the interview, he described a past relationship that was “manipulative” in nature. While the theme of failed relationships is a focal point of the track, the song also explores the strangeness of reconnecting with people from our past.

The name of the real street is Scott Avenue and is located near Bedrock L.A. — a practice studio for bands and musicians in Los Angeles — and was often a place where Bridgers and Vore would spend time together while they were dating.

“I guess ‘Scott Street’ is about being really lonely. Sometimes I want to cop out and say it’s about a lot of different things, but really it’s all there. It’s just a diary.”
