Michelle was a fan of Wilco before Japanese Breakfast, I can tell she's really enjoying this moment.

[@billbowie8772]

You can see the elation on her face and an ineffable look of gratitude as she realizes that she's totally pulling it off with one of her heroes. So happy for her and all of them.

[@ayxrzmans]

This was the most beautiful moment of the whole pitchfork weekend. I was in that crowd weeping a little bit. Jeff Tweedy's voice just gets me man

[@yazoshaughnessy7429]

Same! I was so happy

[@jthomas5987]

Yes!

[@sammywiener]

Wow. Never knew I needed this but it’s so beautiful

[@putalaweaconchatumare]

I was about to comment the same thing, saw it on my feed and got stuck thinking for a couple of seconds until I said to myself "get in, this is perfect!"

[@UPHOTO75]

Her smile makes it just that much more special. She's enjoying this as much as we are.

[@famousprophets66]

seeing this live had me sobbing like a child- favorite song of all time w my favorite artists :,)

[@14blacksabbath]

DEAR PITCHFORK, could you please upload full lengths of this Japanese breakfast set that we love…

[@krisirizarry]

everytime i sing this song out loud, i always sing a key higher in the chorus to harmonize with the original vocal--it's so awesome to hear Michelle doing it here, live!

[@bobburroughs6241]

A classic and an all-time favourite.

[@jaramoneja]

this video makes me happy

[@make_good]

Cannot believe this -- just finished Crying in H Mart and Let's Go (So We Can Get Back) simultaneously and was so struck by how their family stories bore striking resemblances. And here they are. Music is magic.

[@kylesykes7183]

Awesome show was a pleasure to be there

[@davidellis5141]

Very Nice ! Lots of talent on stage 👏 👌

[@michaelhead8633]

I forgot about this song and came across this version, WOW

[@LukeVanGeest]

I’ll see you guys in Milwaukee July 19th, 2023!

[@okrajoe]

Perfection achieved!

[@wojtek43]

Regardless of which performance of this song I listen to, Tweedy's command to "don't cry" will always elicit the opposite response. For some reason, this song will always remind me of loves lost.

[@ST-xg3gy]

This song birthed Phoebe Bridgers.

[@tmk8807trig]

Is this what made her want to make music or?

[@velotik6633]

The Bill Fay cover on Life is People is one of those rare occasions when the cover is superior to the original

[@tolovanaartscolony5162]

pitchy

[@JacobSudol]

I love Wilco, this song, and Japanese Breakfast, but man Michelle Zauner is _really_ failing at harmonizing here.

[@stephenhawkingsfootballboo7885]

Yeah... it really made me miss John Stirratt and Pat Sansone!

[@gingerAV]

she’s got some off notes but it’s mostly fine. she’s kind of fumbling around the chords too, so it could be this was a kind of impromptu thing.

[@filipegr9406]

No doubt

[@LetThePoorStarve]

She probably had not practiced with them. Just sitting in for fun

[@RadarProductions]

Turn her down🎉

[@ricksamericana749]

A wonderful song and one of Tweedy's best... but I'd have rather heard Michelle sing the lead on it. Oh well, maybe she'll do it in one of her sets.

[@napndash]

God she's homely AF

[@fivemountains]

Is it me or is the singer in Japanese Breakfast just not that good? I feel like this is a missed opportunity to sing harmony with Jeff Tweedy and they just kind of sang along out of rhythm and an octave up.

[@lowkeysoundsystem6174]

I was hoping for some harmony as well. It is what it is. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jameswilliams3416]

Most of Japanese Breakfast’s songs are in that octave, guessing it’s just a habit for her voice

[@blueprintblue6781]

Actually, Michelle is not a very good singer, having got a unique vibes though.

[@whsfdksd]

Her singing is definitely her weakest trait, she can pretty much only hold a top line in live performances. To be fair, singing is only one of the things she does in the band, because she’s also playing multiple instruments and more or less solo writing most of JB’s songs, co-producing, etc.

[@warrenchan5613]

It's not just you. She has a very reedy untrained voice. That said, undeniably talented songwriter and passionate performer. Pick your battles on which you prefer
