Bridgers revealed to NPR in 2020 that she and her father had a problematic connection since he was “emotionally distant, yet incredibly present in a weird way.”
The well-known Bridgers song “Kyoto” is about her father, her frustrations with him, and her ambivalence over whether or not she will ultimately be able to forgive him for his previous deeds. According to Bridgers, the song served as a helpful tool for processing some hard feelings.
In an interview with NPR, she remarked, “It’s great to not feel, like, emotionally caged all the time with everything that you carry into your life.” I believe I was angry for a considerable time, and the song is about ceasing to be angry.
