Mitski to me is what Miyazaki is to Mitksi (7:15) "Everytime I have doubts or I don't quite know how to live in the world, how to be, I watch his films and I'm like "oh yeah" it's this simple, this is it, this is the answer."

I've waited for a live album performance for so long and it was worth it. Two Slow Dancers brought me to tears. Before I go to the grave, I will see her perform live. Her songs saved me and changed my life.

She's just as amazing live on concert (plus there's weird, awesome choreography to go with some songs, which is a quirky bonus). You won't be disappointed!

geyser hit me right in the feels

[@ПерсиковаяУлитка]

lyrics з⊹ 1.geyser: 00:30 You're my number one You're the one I want And I've turned down Every hand that has beckoned me to come You're my number one You're the one I want And I've turned down Every hand that has beckoned me to come 'Cause you're the one I got You're the one I got So I'll keep turning down the hands That beckon me to come Though I'm a geyser, feel it bubbling from below Hear it call, hear it call, hear it call to me, constantly And hear the harmony only when it's harming me It's not real, it's not real, it's not real enough But I will be the one you need The way I can't be without you I will be the one you need I just can't be without 2.why didn’t you stop me? : 3:08 I know that I ended it, but Why won't you chase after me? You know me better than I do So why didn't you stop me? Why didn't you stop me And paint it over? I look for a picture of you To keep in my pocket But I can't seem to find one Where you look how I remember Look how I remember Look how I remember Paint it over 3.nobody: 10:44 My God, I'm so lonely So I open the window To hear sounds of people To hear sounds of people Venus, planet of love Was destroyed by global warming Did its people want too much, too? Did its people want too much? And I don't want your pity I just want somebody near me Guess I'm a coward I just want to feel alright And I know no one will save me I just need someone to kiss Give me one good honest kiss And I'll be alright Nobody, nobody, nobody Nobody, nobody Ooh, nobody, nobody, nobody I've been big and small And big and small And big and small again And still nobody wants me Still nobody wants me And I know no one will save me I'm just asking for a kiss Give me one good movie kiss And I'll be alright Nobody, nobody, nobody Nobody, nobody Ooh, nobody, nobody Nobody, nobody, nobody 4.tow slow: 13:58 Does it smell like a school gymnasium in here? It's funny how they're all the same It's funny how you always remember And we've both done it all a hundred times before It's funny how I still forgot It would be a hundred times easier If we were young again But as it is And it is We're just two slow dancers, last ones out We're two slow dancers, last ones out And the ground has been slowly pulling us back down You see it on both our skin We get a few years and then it wants us back It would be a hundred times easier If we were young again But as it is And it is To think that we could stay the same To think that we could stay the same To think that we could stay the same But we're two slow dancers, last ones out We're two slow dancers, last ones out Two slow dancers, last ones out
