While some guessed it might be a copyright issue, others noticed that Lost Ark Studios (the recording studio that put together the release) was labeled as “temporarily closed” on Google and reasoned that they might have gone out of business. But outcry there was.Īs word spread through Twitter, Reddit, and TikTok, one question was being asked consistently: why? Why this song? Why now? Why would Phoebe do this to me? The frustrating thing is we don’t know. The track had over 24 million streams on Spotify but was buried so deep under other, more popular releases they probably didn’t foresee any outcry to this song being yanked off streaming. If I were to guess, I don’t think Phoebe or her crew even assumed people would notice if this song disappeared. All fans know is that they can’t easily listen to one of their favorite Phoebe tracks. ![]() We have no idea whether the song is off Spotify because of some random copyright nonsense, a license renewal lapse, or something else entirely. The track was a diamond in the rough, waiting to reward those willing to dig around for it. Having been released five years prior to Punisher (aka before Phoebe Bridgers became Phoebe Bridgers) and on a relatively obscure comp, “Waiting Room” was a hidden gem in Phoebe’s discography. The six-and-a-half-minute gut-wrencher wasn’t on any of Phoebe’s core studio albums, EPs, or various side projects but appeared instead on a 2015 compilation put together by Lost Ark Studios. “ Waiting Room” by Phoebe Bridgers is no longer available on Spotify, and that should worry everyone.
