[@sonus5979]

I cant believe she invented betting on losing dogs

[@ashivy3031]

Dont get me wrong. I love mitskis pop songs, but her songs with the heavy instruments and lyrics that cut to the bone are why I love her.

[@nyooom3299]

@@zo4422 people often interpret it as a metaphor for being in a toxic relationship even though she knows its toxic

[@bambufan3636]

That simple drum break at 1:42 makes this version superior to the album version.

[@Pdoggok]

YES! Been thinking this for days

[@dylanvillaotero4446]

I like the album version so bad.

Can't believe no has mentioned that mitski is soo late 60's proto-punk. She's giving me velvet underground flashbacks with that voice and base tone

[@wonderwallflower]

Yes !!!

CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS PART?? 1:33 ITS INCREDIBLE

With all the crap us humans are doing all over the world, there are some of us who are still able to portray us as beautifully as this.

[@ttth225]

I'd love to know what Kurt Cobain would have thought of the works of this amazing artist. I don't know why but I sometimes get the same vibes I get when I listen to Nirvana's songs. They're all just sublime.

[@JoshNpublicgplus]

They have a similarly whimsical style of lyric writing. For both of them, it's like they're telling some sort of abstract, fantastical story with beautifully morbid themes. Also, the way they both sing seems both lazy and passionate at once, as well as impressive and empowering.

[@Mausmr]

I listen to this exact video almost every day. Wish It was on Spotify. The heavy drums, the noisy guitars. The melancholy of that bass. It's unique.

[@pikapikakurapika404]

I miss you, Mitski. Im sorry that so many fans have ruined your comfort in having social media at all. I’ll always be disgusted. I’m glad you’re still doing your thing and being your best self.

One of my fav tracks from the album, holy shit I love mitski so much T.T I bought the sweatshirt from the YoursTruly interview she did, cant wait for it to arrive

[@dakotahope599]

Beautiful

[@lucyshoes]

Stunning talent. My new favorite musical obsession...i LOVE this artist,& the band really makes her work come alive and jump right out of the camera ...cant wait to see her in Grand Rapids in July. I hope the sound man doesnt mix crappy live.. i've noticed a trend of going to concerts where female voices are drowned out, can't even hear them as a lead singer which should be THE main instrument at all times(metric,Best coast... it was awful. I even begged the sound guy to turn up the lead vocal when I went to see best coast). I don't think most lead singer females realize what it sounds like out there, I guarantee you Shirley Manson would not put ip with such shit, & I sure hope Mitski puts her foot down and makes sure she is THE lead!

[@charlesandrewmoore8699]

I realize this comment comes long after your show, but may be worth consideration at another time... I've found that placement in the venue can make a huge difference to the mix you get. If you spend time front/center - my favorite place to *see*, there's often a gap between the house PA arrays where the band's amps tend to over power the full (vocal) mix. It's worth moving around during opening acts to find the sonic/visual sweetspot. Hope you had a great experience where you were, regardless!

[@marutsuke]

her musicians are SO good and complement her so well ahhh im delighted

[@maikkumajakka5447]

I love this

[@arictss]

te amo tanto mi amor , mi cielo , mi vida , mi luz de luna

[@linahferreira6599]

For anyone wondering how to play on guitar its been tuned to DADF#AD And she just slides her finger up each fret, pressing down own all strings. The same 4 chords are used throughout the song from fret 7 - 2 - 12 - 4.

[@say1401]

thank you, you’re so kind❤❤

[@redcommando1]

There's something quite subtle about her voice that reminds me of another talented young lady called Torres.
