Don't forget the intentional speech impediment, all the rage amongst the sad girls these days

[@tylerhounshell]

She sings it like I do when I’m running on the street at 3AM: so scratchy at the end, probably crying, and out of breath. But that’s a good thing for this song.

[@aphexanthony]

I will be sobbing over this for the rest of my life thank you

[@chrismichlewicz5284]

Same!! I literally can't stop crying right now.

[@noahwastakenlol]

massive gracie fan, and as much as i love her iconic, delicate & whispery sound, i keep coming back to this because i love how she utilizes her full range + love ethel cain. definitely need an alt-rock record in the future

[@rima4070]

that little smile she gave that says "i'm killing it" at 3:36

[@leahg715]

she has improved so much it's crazy !!! i've been a fan for 2-3 years and i literally just shed a few tears, i'm so proud of her

[@Seirryu-heart8]

Loved her music since years ago… hopefully she would stay true her sound eventhough shes mainstream now… i didnt realized shes the daughter of powerful parents… she seems so nice and down to earth since the beginning… this sound fits her perfectly🥰🥰🥰

[@scottharrington4054]

Thank you for introducing me to Ethel Cain. So greattful.

[@ad-zx4iv]

her voice suites ethel's songs so well! One of my favs so far

[@sophiem8451]

In the original “do it for my daddy and I’ll do it for dale….didn’t do any well for me” etc sounds like it could be Gracie, very similar!

[@sahanasrinivasan9462]

Best cover she is amazing

[@atomrat2434]

gracie really encapsulates the emotion that ethel is trying to convey on this song. its a cover, but she understands the feelings that went into the creation of this song and puts forth those feelings in her voice. i am so extremely impressed with this cover. my favourite recreation of ethel cain's masterpiece of a song

[@elijahgrande4333]

The way she delivers each word of the song, arrrgrg so so so good. I'm on repeat, listening to her version of this song by ethel. You're such a damn artist gracie. Love you.

[@maroonblink5638]

[@jengalvin]

yassss

[@tehekatetehe]

she needs to release this on spotify!!! im so proud of her my little pop star

[@SpiritHunterDSG]

I wouldn’t boil her down to “pop star” that’s not even a good title these days.

[@BayleyConkin]

The false sensitity where people fall apart is caused by the use of an American dollar coins to give people neuronal damage. The same thing that happened to Kurt and it's not related to the FBI as they're causing populations of people to think and I've reported to DHS.

OMG THE BEST COVER IM SOBBING

[@danielfreire8249]

so proud of her

[@stanrendipity]

First thing I do when I step out the car and onto campus is put on my earbuds and listen to this cover. So much so that it's the first thing that pops up when I open KZbin.

[@P__114]

I just discovered this song. Curious what it means to you?

[@stanrendipity]

@@P__114 To me, it's like that feeling of looking back on all the hell you had to go through growing up in a town where falling outside the norm wasn't acceptable. And I guess not just reflecting on how hard and exhausting it was but also on how far you've come from there and then when everything felt so hopeless.

[@iwouldgiveyouthemoon_]

@@P__114 obviously this song has layers of meaning to anyone who listens to it, but if you want to know the "intended" meaning, i'd recommend listening to ethel cain's album preacher's daughter. it's a story album, so each song is like a different chapter of the main characters (short and tragic) life. american teenager deals with her struggles growing up, alcohol addiction, complicated family dynamics, and expresses a very strong anti-war sentiment.

[@semihmidnight]

Literally i got goosebumps
