Lizzy McAlpine - chemtrails (Official Audio)

[@LizzyMcAlpine]

'Older', the new album, out now! lizzymcalpine.lnk.to/OlderAlbum

[@vaporrvvave]

In the recorded clip, her dad is joking with her about playing with her food and how quickly she's eating. Such a stark contrast with the lyric "I still play with my food and then I throw it away." When she says "I still play with my food, I'm a child at the grown-up's table" she's relating the little clip at the end to how she feels, small compared to such a big weight. Gosh, I'll always have so much respect for Lizzy as a writer.

You are an incredible person Lizzy, i’m sure he’s looking down and watching you go through this incredible journey like only a dad could. And i’m so sure he’s proud of you.

[@yasmimpereira2916]

Everytime he starts talking and calls her Elizabeth I feel it deep in my heart dude. I cry everytime

[@hannahjoycheng]

life is about missing people, places, the past. people leave, they pass away, they move away. distance edges itself between you. i miss so many people

[@julia_kay.05]

My father is alive, yet I grieve him still, because he was absent. This song touched my soul. Thank you, Lizzy.

[@moldyketchuphead]

Someone once pointed out to me that some actors are brilliant not because of what they do, but because of what they don't do. My drum teacher once encouraged me to play the rests. This song is a great example of that kind of perception, taking the barest, simplest elements to leave a powerful impression.

[@yandereswift6970]

i know she wrote this about her dad, but i can't help but relate this song to my childhood best friend. i miss you, Eunice.

I lost my dad when I was 8 and this song makes me cry ecspeically the end. I miss my dad too. I can’t believe I have to to grow up this way either. I am now 18 and prom is coming up and I wish so much he could be here for it and for me. I miss him. Every day. It is hard for me to think about other kids going through that same thing because it is so traumatic. I just want him to be here and to give me a hug and then show me how cool he is lol

[@kegahuri]

The fact that this song can be interpreted uniquely by every one listening, and that one can resonate deeply with the emotions portrayed is true artistry... Lizzy, I needed this... Thank you

[@PESmopotti]

Dear Lizzy, I'm so sorry for the loss of your dad. I think no one can really empathize cause it's your own pain and every pain is different. Just wanna say thanks for sharing this part of your story with us. Wish you all the best, Greetings from Germany :)

[@D98-t5p]

What a beautiful song. We love you Lizzy! He'll be proud from wherever he's watching.

[@kiliankraus]

Dear Lizzy McAlpine, If you’re reading this, hi, I don’t normally make comments like this but I am so so moved, and inspired, and touched by your music I have to commend you for it. You have a god given gift, something that is so beautifully human, yet indescribable. Thank-you so much for sharing your work with us. It’s a real rarity that an artist comes along and not only captures my attention, but my heart and my soul. Your music isn’t just a bunch of well thought out sounds, it’s an emotion, a journey of emotions. You are incredible and I can only sit in awe because no matter what I say, words aren’t enough to explain what beauty you have created and are capable of creating. Thank-you.

[@charlielarzelere9401]

my father passed away two years ago when I was 17 right before my senior year of high school. It is such a uniquely painful experience to lose a parent at a young age and you capture it beautifully. Music is one of the ways my father and I connected and this song along with headstones and landmines hit me in a way that no songs ever have. Thank you for taking this painful experience and making something so special, I imagine these songs mean so much to you and I hope you know they mean a lot to others too.

[@mauritsnienhuis]

Melodies, vocal tone and vibe are very much Phoebe Bridgers. Quite awesome.

[@mauritsnienhuis]

@Abcd Of course, I just instantly thought of Phoebe's work and am not trying to diminish Lizzy's music and talent in any way. Both are fantastic. And with 'vibe' I was referring her vocals. The production side of things I guess... and I didn't necessarily hear those similarities in the first-released tracks of this record, so it was a fun discovery.

[@sophiejleonard]

your songs are just so beautiful. i thank youtube for recommending me doomsday months ago because now i get to listen to this amazing, heartbreaking, gorgeous album

[@Oddix21]

I promise to be the strongest person I can for others who are in need even when it may be difficult emotionally for me. My brother hugged me so tight at my grandmothers funeral over 10 years ago and he's still there for me now. Life is hard but lets try to be there for those who are in need. Please keep supporting Lizzy she is an amazing talent!

[@waynejrice]

Aww man. I didn't think I'd actually cry . . . There should be a warning label on that track.

[@BenBerkenboschMusic]

What a beautiful song Lizzy. A lovely tribute to your dad x

[@fatlazycabs1688]

This one brought me to tears. Such a wonderful song. The ending tho, wow. Right in the feels.

[@jonah0319]

Lizzy, I just know your father is proud of you. SO proud, just like all of us. Continue to just do what you’re doing now and I’m praying for you. Sorry for your loss, but at least your dad is at peace in Heaven now.

[@inmyroom3485]

probably the best tone i've heard on a singer. obsessed with her voice alone... no techniques - just the way she sings words - wonderful! i love it especially on her song headstones and landmines♥

[@willowmalen1332]

this song means to much to me. my dad also passed away and every word, every beat- i cant listen to it without crying. especially since i’m moving to college in like 8 days.

[@amipaynebutera9597]

IM GONNA LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM LIKE FOR EVER AND EVER TILL MY EARS START BLEEDING

[@piloppa7]

everytime when i listening Lizzy (especially this song.....or erase me...or reckless driving... or give me a minute... and actually all of her songs 😂) from the first note i feel myself immidiately in a different world...in a warm, protecting, floating bubble, wherever i am...(on the bus or at work or whatever...) everything and everybody is disappering around me....only me and my feelings exists in this moment. sometimes i cry ...sometimes i'm happy... but i'm sooo glad to found her music a few years ago! every person need a Lizzy to feel: "you are safe, you are fine and you are real!" ❤ Thank you Lizzy your amazing music, voice and soul! 🤍

[@LPS-me3jj]

I'm fortunate enough to have everyone I love still with me, but this song still hits me like a truck everytime I listen to it. The power it has over me is enough to prove how great of an artist you are. He's difinitely proud of you

I absolutely lost it when I first heard this song. My dad passed away very shockingly from cancer and I discovered Lizzy’s music a little before that.

I see chemtrails in the sky, but I don't see the plane What the hell is my problem with taking the blame? 'Cause I play with my food and then someone else takes it away It's so hard to believe, but I'm trying to change I see lines in the sand, but I don't see who made them I still listen to that band that you showed me last April I still play with my food, I'm a child at the grown-up's table It's so hard to believe, but right now, I feel stable I moved away and I grew a few inches What a shame, I had a chance and I missed it And there are some days when I hear that song And I hate to admit it But I miss it, I do Oh, I miss it, I miss you Oh, I miss it, I miss it, I miss you Oh, oh Oh, I miss it, I miss it, I miss you I see chemtrails in the sky, but I don't see the plane I know that I feel it, but I don't know the name I play with my food and then I throw it away It's so hard to believe I have to grow up this way I moved out and I made some new friends Sometimes when I shout, it feels like no one hears it And there are some days when I think that, somewhere, you're watching As I grow up without you I miss it, I miss you I miss it, I miss you (after being in the shower for fifteen minutes and seven days) (She's famished, you can tell) (Say goodnight) (Goodnight)

[@anac155]

Loved this song since it was released, I think for the sheer melancholy and simplicity of it. Never could quite relate to it. but recently, my dad was diagnosed with cancer. I know that word holds so much meaning for people, and I don't want to spill my guts out to strangers on the internet but I can finally relate to it now and God, it's hard to accept...hoping for the best with his treatment. I'd really like him to stick around longer :(

[@isabellab-c5351]

I lost my dad when I was 10, and it didn't entirely hit me what this song was about until around the middle, and then it hit me like a fucking train. Whenever I think about my dad, all I can think is "Why did it have to be him? Why is it that the good dads die, while the bad dads get to live on and hurt their kids?" I just never feels fair, and makes me so sad and so angry. Anyway, sorry for trauma dumping all that.

[@erik6737]

@@izziebennigsen5255 dude, ever wondered why I commented that in the first place. That's exactly why I asked. I don't see the reason for why she sings chemtrails and thought that someone might have an answer to that question.

[@crb.mp4]

Maybe because "she can't see the plane" when she saw the chemtrails. Let's just say that the word "contrails" is a little bit too solid and factual to put into a song about someone you lost. Since chemtrails is associated with a conspiracy theory around it; per se -- it does not actually exist or of earth, there are trails but the chems is not there. And wordplay-wise, choosing chemtrails rather than contrails is much smarter. This is just my rationalization of it, but I am not the one who wrote this. It might mean something entirely different for Lizzy. I've written a couple of songs of my own and metaphors will be different for other people and that's the beauty of song writing.
