Mitski: 'I Will' SXSW 2016 | NPR MUSIC FRONT ROW

[@sophiebradshaw4157]

If you haven't heard, Mitski has said that she isn't the "I" in this song, she's the "you". In other words, this is what she wishes she could hear from someone else. Adds a whole nother level.

this information changed me ngl

[@owenselwyn3154]

I love that this song never fully kicks in. It's like she's trying to let these feelings go but she can't it's beautiful.

Exactly what I was feeling when listening to this song, wanting to cry but not quiet getting there.

[@ROMELYMEISSA]

this song is holding my hand

[@bonecag3]

That’s the best way to describe this song

[@katereynolds7137]

i hope she never stops playing this song. not just my favorite mitski song, but my favorite song period.

[@Tipsy_Turby]

NO BC THE CONTROL SHE HAS WHILE SOUNDING LIKE SHES CRYING AND SINGING AT THE SAME TIME IS SO GOOD TF

[@kayla-uc5xr]

This song is simultaneously everything I want to be, everything I wish I did, everything I want to receive, and everything I'm afraid of at the same time. Thank you for this wonderful song mitski!!!

[@PurtyPurple]

It's such a human thing, that desire for belonging and comfort and at the same time to give it.

[@joshcavanagh8558]

The most beautifully aggressive mitski song

[@ana-yz4jl]

when she says "there's no need to be brave" etc then later on proceeds to say "I'll be brave".. i feel like the first one represents her loved one saying that to her then as time went on she lost that person, saying she'll still be brave for them.

[@fi4072]

it’s so hard to cry these days thank you mitski this helped

[@Strwbrry_rat]

I swear anytime I hear Mitski sing this song she sounds like she’s on the verge of tears it breaks my heart

[@didepp9466]

I swear I cry everytime I listen to this. I mean dude how can you even not with that lyrics?!?!?!?!

[@guyhanji3085]

she is so beautiful. what a gift to be alive the same time as her.

I use this song to motivate self love. I will take good care of ME Cause I will always have me Love yourself because you deserve everything the world desires

[@theseusinflames4301]

this is already about self love! :D the 'you' in this song is mitski, she's singing to herself :)))

[@kmk130]

i love this drummer. what a king

[@jinh605]

the way that this song just completely changes once you know the meaning. it's this beautiful love song with no conext, but with that context this song becomes a desperate plea into this abyss for anyone to love someone who has almost given up on trying. it's tragic, tear-jerking, gorgeous, and the best song ever made. i love you mitski

[@malmpardon9249]

I will take good care of you I will take good care of you Everything you feel is good If you would only let you I will wash your hair at night And dry it off with care I will see your body bare And still I will live here So stay with me Hold my hand There's no need To be brave And all the quiet nights you bear Seal them up with care No one needs to know they're there For I will hold them for you Cause' all I ever wanted is here All I ever wanted All I want is ALways you It's always you And we're not out of the tunnel I bet you though there's an end Stay with me Hold my hand There's no need To be brave And while you sleep I'll be scared So by the time you wake I'll be brave I'll be brave I'll be brave

[@djork6518]

just like the 1975's acoustic version of paris, this live version is so much better than the studio version--and the studio version stole my heart, shattered it into a million pieces, and remade it when i first heard it, and every single time since then

[@pictureparlour000mitski]

Stunning voice. The most advanced American songwriter.

I think she's amazing. And her preformance in Drunk Walk Home makes it better than the studio version
