Melanie Martinez - DEATH (Official Audio)

[@Lulusheena]

I searched it up, and this means she's back, but she's changed. So therefore metaphorically, her old self has 'died' and now she's back from the 'dead'. Her years of being inactive from Singing has changed her, and gave her a new perspective of life. This is a message to the fans that she's back, and ready to Slay again 💅

[@Lulusheena]

As a writer, I appreciate how Mel designs all her songs around the character, Crybaby. This whole experience has been one huge story. With that said, I think it’s interesting and important to note that Mel released a short promo video showing Crybaby’s grave and released this song before her album drops on the 31. Crybaby has clearly died, opening up a whole new adventure in the storyline. Freaking genius!!!❤

[@KaiInMotion]

Yes. Nobody in the comments seems to care about the themes of this song or the upcoming era but it's clear Melanie is in some kind of spiritualism and witchcraft moment and I love it. I feel like this album is going to be all about souls, witchcraft, integrating your shadow, etc. I love that she says clearly into mysticism and is incorporating these themes into her work. It feels so reinvigorating and fresh and like a healthy interesting evolution for her. Like she's taken stock of her life and career and regrouped to take complete control of her experiences and narrative.

[@Coraline-jonesyy]

MELANIES THOUGHTS ON THE SONG- I usually have titles picked out early on in the conceptual phase of an album before even writing anything. This one was a must, and I just wasn't getting it right anytime I tried writing it with other people. One day, I sat in the portal room alone and started singing melodies. I heard a spirit with a completely different tone than mine repeat a melody I had sung out loud in the silence and it sent a chill down my body. I was really scared at first, then continued on, using that moment as confirmation from the other side. I laid down the chords after hours of searching through Omnisphere for an instrument that would reverberate through my soul. I added a simple drum loop in the chorus (that was later replaced by production from my favorite collaborator CJ Baran, as well as live drums from Ilan Rubin of Nine Inch Nails - who also put drums down for a couple of other songs.) When I was done writing the song, that same day I played it for my best friend of 22 years who is like my sister. She had just experienced multiple losses in her family. While she was listening on headphones, tears rolled through. The song ended, she looked at me and said "that's the one."

[@Itstate11.11]

i love the way she created the visual with her new being coming out of crybaby’s body. its so creative. i love how meaningful and powerful her lyrics are. it gives a new meaning to death almost like it’s a beautiful thing and that we shouldn’t be scared of death as it is part of life and everything dies eventually. its so good and i love it. i can’t wait for the video and the album itself ❤

This album means so much to me, I’ve been listening to her since she started music and I told my cousin about her and I was disappointed that she didn’t have much songs yet but I was excited to watch her make new songs and potentially grow big one day. a few years later my cousin got me some of her merch for my birthday and I was so excited and we listened to all her new albums together and talked and talked about them. My cousin passed way 9/17/22 and she won’t be here to listen to Melanie’s new album with me this time but I hope when it releases I can listen in her honor and cherish the memories that Melanie’s music has brought to me with my cousin and be thankful for how much closer it made us.

I don't know what is it with Melanie's music. Im not obsessed like that, I don't have a Stan account, I don't make fan transition videos, i don't watch a million clips, interviews, insta stories... I don't feel parasocially attached to her at all. But whatever she puts out new music, it connects exactly to what I'm going through or feeling currently in my life. The first time I listened to this it felt like an out of body experience, tears running down my face, felt like my chest was ripping open. It happened with her old music as well. It's incredible. I don't know how to describe it. I feel my feelings getting more intense, and i can see them clearly, like when you get high when you are already emotional.

I just watched the movie again. I love how portals intertwines with K-12. Crybaby always explained that she’s never scared of death. I love how this song intertwines with that meaning. Another thing I love is the fact that Melanie always has a story with her music. It’s not just music, it’s a whole series. It gives us something to theorize about while we don’t have that much information. I really do hope we get another movie with portals. It would be such an amazing sequel with K-12. Love you Mel

I have to agree with you, it’s been a shitty week, I’m sorry about yours though. But when the album comes out it will definitely cure my depression from the last shitty, ass, stupid YEAR it’s been. Hope you’re days, weeks, months and years are always good from now on!!!

[@MissEzi]

so obsessed with every single visual we’ve gotten for this album. its giving dark alice in wonderland fantasy vibes and i LOVE it. hopefully PORTALS gets mel her first grammy 🙏

[@ArabRising]

If the chorus is removed from the song it’s literally the darkest lullaby I heard and would make the song gothic pop. I get an evanescence fallen vibe in the darker parts of the song it’s truly haunting. The chorus is the only thing that lightens the mood

[@y2kmilf]

I can’t even describe how beautiful & meaningful this song truly is to me already. Ik it’s only been 2 days but it has such an emotional effect on me that I find rather bittersweet. It somehow connects to & embodies my oldest brother’s presence who recently passed in June 2022. Melanie also released it exactly 9 months since his death date, 06/17/22. Which is literally a whole pregnancy. This makes me feel as if he’s here with me & is speaking to me through Melanie’s music, especially this song. My brother Miko was also a fellow Crybaby & was in love with Melanie Martinez & her work as I am myself. May his spirit forever flourish.

[@heatherkeegan3148]

My fiancé passed june 17, 2016… I am so sorry for your loss ❤ that date holds so much meaning to me as well, so I wanted to comment… it’s been going on 7 years, and I promise it gets less consuming… I won’t say it gets any less hard, I still cry myself to sleep at least once a month…. But it stops taking over every single moment and thought… I love Melanie and her music, I was supposed to see her live when covid hit, and I was devastated bc that was going to be my first night out since my fiancé passed… if I have money when she next tours, I hope to be there, and use her music to help heal myself from the pain I’ve felt for nearly 7 years…. Sending strength and love your way…. I’ll meet you back here june 17th and send hugs your way ❤️

[@y2kmilf]

Wow, my heart truly aches for you & the pain you’ve endured these past 7 years. I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. I’m keeping you & your beloved fiancé in my prayers. 🤍 Thank you so much for taking your time to read & comment. I feel as if that was them wanting us to connect with one another, especially with their dates connecting. Thank you for sharing your experience & coping mechanisms to help me out. It’s a very hard reality to adjust to, it still consumes me & my thoughts every single day. But, I trust your word. I’m sure I’ll have a different & more positive perspective about it someday. You are so strong to still be pushing through for all these years. I strive to be where you’re at. They’re still here, just within us now. I’m so sorry about you not being able to experience Melanie & your 1st night out being ruined due to this shitty pandemic. Definitely manifesting for you to have the funds you’ll need to experience Melanie on her next tour✨ You deserve to be happy & healed! Thank you for being such a passionate & beautiful soul, sending you love, strength & happiness. I’ll meet you back here June 17th. Take care, Xoxo! 🎀
