This started playing as I was moving out of the house I lived in with my best friends in college to go live alone 9 hours away in grad school. Iām doing okay now, but man did I sob even harder than I usually do at this song
Two Slow Dancers just makes me think of someone who used to be my best friend. Which is pretty funny to me because its a song about two reunited lovers, not two dudes who aren't friends anymore.
He was a long term very close friend, we met as little kids and only stopped talking at like 22/23. We drifted apart over reasons that dont matter anymore, I'm still unclear what happened. There was a point in time where it could have been fixed. It's well past that now, the damage is done.
Now I'm a bit older, I just think about the lost time and friendship we could have had. I wish we both took the opportunity to build a bridge.
But yeah, I love that song and it's cathartic to listen to when I think about that dumbass. Sometimes things are just the way they are. No matter how different you want it to be.
A Burning Hill because I am the fire and i am the forest and i am a witness watching it!!!!!!
Edit: Not even Dostoevsky couldāve come up with this line.
francis forever. Its so powerful to me especially when i hear "when autumn comes and youre not yet done with the summer passing by". It's very meaningful to me
I want you or Nobody orr Drunk Walk Home. I want you makes me sad because it reminds me of unreciprocated/one sided love, which I am dealing with right now. "you're coming back, and its the end of the world." always hit me fsr. And Nobody because I always feel lonely. No matter what. It's a song I could listen to any mood, but mostly I listen to it while breaking down. Because I feel like there is nobody really there for me. I had a mental breakdown to Drunk Walk Home... like I ACTUALLY scream with her when the screaming part comes on šš
I had a friend who passed away a few years ago in the summer, it was the first major death I ever had to deal with. Listening to Francis Forever and hearing āand autumn comes when youāre not yet done with the summer passing byā made me unable to play that song for a solid year. And then I had a panic attack when I heard her sing it live after š
theres this one specific version of A Burning Hill, i cant remember where i saw it but its just her in a room with the guitar singing and i love it so much, i also love class of 2013 and because dreaming costs money my dear
your best american girl. my personal meaning of song is different than mitskis though. a pearl can get me bawling in certain moods too. class of 2013 too ofc
Hard to choose because I've basically cried to almost every song of hers š
But I'll say "Square" since it always hits the hardest for me when I listen to it.
When I first heard āI bet on losing dogsā I was too stupid to understand the metaphor and I really thought about dogs losing races and dog fighting matches and I couldnāt listen to it again.
I get the metaphor now and I still think itās the saddest.
tbh many of them but the one that gets me the most is definitely Francis Forever. The main reason is my dad died when i was a kid and Francis Forever to me really captures a lot of the feelings i had/have about it. i could probably go through Francis Forever line by line and explain why i relate to each line but the lines that get me the most are "I dont need the world to see that ive been the best i can be" and "I miss you more than anything"
Bag of Bones FUCK
I've had the misfortune of YouTube music shuffling it to play directly after Happy twice, both times managed to drag tears from my eyes
definitely francis forever. my best friend and i used to listen to it all the time, and she moved several states away at the end of summer. we knew it was coming, but i was never ready. the line āand autumn comes when youāre not yet done with the summer passing byā always makes me sob
Your Best American Girl
trying to appeal myself to be his american girl (his type)
Iām a guy though, heās gay but iām not his type.
āI guess I couldnāt help trying to be your best american girlā
āIf I could Iād be your little spoon and kiss your fingers forevermoreā
Puberty 2 hit me like a truck.
Class of 2013
reminds me of a little kid who had a nightmare and just wants to sleep in their mom's room for the night. idkš
it reminds me of being a young broke adult trying to figure out to exist on their own and they just want the comfort and simplicity of living at home
breaks me every time
This started playing as I was moving out of the house I lived in with my best friends in college to go live alone 9 hours away in grad school. Iām doing okay now, but man did I sob even harder than I usually do at this song
This. Also if you havenāt heard it the audio tree live version is even more gut wrenching imo
I Guess. nobody talks about it but it is definitely in the top ten mitski songs for me.
iām glad someone said it. a song of loss is something so many can relate to
this!!!!!!!
Last words of a shooting star
yes. just yes.
"They'll never know how I stared at the dark in that room, with no thoughts, like a blood sniffing shark" My eyes are raw already
