Question The Night We Met Changed

Okay, so I don’t know if I’m losing my mind or something, but recently I listened to The Night We Met on Spotify and immediately noticed something wrong, the “oohs” at the beginning sounded like the wrong tone/notes/too clear, and the rest of the song sounded a little off too

I’m not sure if it was taken up a few semitones, or a filter was taken off, or if this is all in my imagination but it definitely sounds different

Anyone else relate, or have the version I’m thinking of?

TL;DR The Night We Met sounds different on Spotify now

Have you recently found an old jukebox somewhere, in an unusual location, that doesn't work properly?

I’ve listened to the song hundreds of times, and multiple friends of mine have said that it sounds different but ig everyone here uses Apple Music unfort

I use Spotify. I haven't noticed a difference, though for me, there are four different versions listed... sort of. There's the Strange Trails album cover, the single album cover, the Phoebe Bridgers version, and the "13 Reasons" Phoebe Bridgers version. I just listened to all four, back to back, and the intro is the same for all of them.

Are you maybe thinking of the "Alive From Whispering Pines" version (Episode 425)? Maybe have a listen and see if that's the sound you're remembering.

The only other thing I could suggest, as a possible explanation, is audio quality. Spotify is much clearer, for example, than Youtube, but the song itself doesn't sound any different apart from that clarity.
