Lyrics:
There’s a deal you can make
On a midnight walk alone
Look around, listen close
Hear it fall from above
It will ask what you’d give
And what you’d take for it in return
I once went on such a walk
And I found that I’d said
I want someone to take this soul
I can’t bear to keep it
I’d give it just to give
And all I will take are the consequences
Will somebody take this soul
Then of course, nothing replied
Nothing speaks to you in the night
And I walked my way home
There was no one in sight -
Save a bird perched upon a streetlight
Watching me
So stopped and let it watch
Till I found that it said
Now I’m taken, the night has me
You won’t hear me singing
You’re a cage without me
Your pain is eased but you’ll never be free, for
Now I’m taken, the night has me
There’s a deal that I made
-

"I want someone to take this soul I can’t bear to keep it ... Then of course, nothing replied Nothing speaks to you in the night" fav lyrics

[@hisoyuno]

how did you get that emoji omg

[@nobutyesyetno8770]

@@hisoyuno on pc there should be an emoji icon under the typing box when ur typing a comment and it should be there! :D idk for mobile tbh

[@ellex8597]

Encountering your soul as a bird at night, telling you that your body is just a cage where he lived before and your pain may have been eased but you're still not free....i just 😭 maybe it is the bare minimum but this woman literally writes poetry in music form. Her songs sometimes dont even follow a "song structure". Just a poem with melody. I love her so much, she gets it. She's so real and raw 🥲💗 Her art is just....so special

[@CatWithAnElectricGuitar]

This song got me sobbing fr😭 the instruments, the lyrics, and ofc Mitski’s voice everything together just makes you feel a whole new set of emotions ❤️‍🩹

[@theblackowl555]

I feel that way, too.

[@bexldoore]

This is what having harmful coping mechanism feels like. You long to do such actions since the pain is taking over, yes you are coping, you feel free, painless for a while but there's consequences you're never truly eased of the pain.

MITSKI you mean the world to me I just wanna let you know this album is amazing and you deserve the world, one of ur what works.

[@amaterasu3099]

"Now I'm taken, the night has me You won't hear me singing, you're a cage without me Your pain is eased, but you'll never be free For now I'm taken the night has me" The way this send me spiralling. Portraying her own soul as a songbird leaving her body is so genius it should be studied in school

[@missilemedic]

The way I thought the bird was someone she could share her love and soul with. But you totally got it. Her body is nothing but a limit to sharing her overwhelmingly hopeful soul, mentioned in Buffalo Replaced.

[@theblackowl555]

Precisely.

[@juhanikarlsson160]

Reminds me of Bukowski poem Bluebird. Check it out it's beautiful as well : ))

[@vitrola2397]

Freebird yeah

[@mohamedabulqasim4405]

“You’re a cage without me” wow... just wow when u deep how hurtful and meaningful this line is

[@Moonsong_]

Gonna point out a thing real quick, apart from how good and soul wrecking this song is, I personally love how the drums in the end get to have their moment to shine. I’d always listen to heat lightning and feel so unsatisfied when the drums at the end of the first chorus stopped suddenly without evolving, but here they do and it’s so beautiful. Might be my favorite with Star, Buffalo Replaced and I’m Your Man ❤❤❤

[@a_____45676]

In Heat Lightning, I personally see the drums stopping after the first chorus as consistent with the theme of the song tbh. The person has to hold themselves back from actually feeling and reaching out bc they decided there was nothing they could do to change unless the other person in the relationship did it first, if that makes sense. It's supposed to leave you with that feeling of insatisfaction as time just passes the subject by as a routine they have adopted Having said that, I also really like when the drums get their moment, and this last album is wonderful, so I definitely get your point 🤝❤

[@taniaruiz1921]

I just aspire to be as emotional as this work, I love Mitski so much and I aspire so much after her, not in a worshipping way but just genuine admiration, I’ve been afraid of being so emotional since I can remember, I’ve been afraid of expressing exactly what I feel the way I feel it, with all the intensity, I’ve been ashamed of my emotions of my perception of the intensity of them all, of me.., I’m an artist not one with true meaning yet but.. since I met Mitski, god I feel like home, her music reflects such nudity that I just can’t help but cry, her lyrics or the melody every part says something, you can feel something what she’s feeling with it, I want the freedom of it, to expose myself raw thru art, I feel so insipired by her and now I feel a lot less ashamed about my intensity of feeling things, I want to stop being afraid, I hope one day I can become such a raw artist like her, that every drawing of mine speaks for itself and that helps people feel less alone too, I hope one day I can’t stop being afraid of throwing myself entirely to the world, I hope one day I can be “free”

[@giselletrendkill8594]

The atmosphere on this song is outstanding, deeply unbelievable😭♥

[@andyzfilms293]

What a song, a sound like a bird flying around. I love it, how it gets through me and leads further away. Anxious and conforting at the same time. Thank you

[@mosriteminioncause7741]

I've searched for years (decades really), after The Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Sessions" and The Innocence Mission"s "Glow" for this sound...I call: "The sound of the shadows of the heart"....It was the sound my late wife and I fell in love by and we shared...This very sound in this song... She would have loved this song....Thank you Mitski.

[@picklespeas9623]

The cowboy junkies trinity sessions is exactly when i thought of when i heard this album, such a unique yet beautiful sound that i could never get enough of!

my fav song off the album

[@spunkiQT]

I have listened to this with my eyes closed and felt like I was in my life’s own musical, and I’ve listened and felt deeply the ways I relate and sobbed, it’s a sad, beautiful and comforting masterpiece all at once and I’m so grateful to Mitski. This and My Love All Mine make me glad to be alive (not that I’ve ever been suicidal lol 🙏🙌 they just communicate the essence of the human experience, both the pain and beauty so poetically)

[@Flowerbrith]

Porfin el álbum completo!!😭 💗💗

[@fukuzawalover]

Люблю эту тему: без боли нельзя быть человеком, нельзя быть и свободным. Боль надо уметь проживать. И эта мысль воплощена в песне потрясающе многогранно и завораживающе

@@nikaidonikaido3975 I have the right to love the work of artists like Mitski, no matter what country I live in. The clown here is only you

[@kkshhk]

The themes of defeat and surrender is so reveberant in this to the extent that one is willing to sacrifice the “better angels of one’s nature” because it is the last resort in order to subsist…when one finds no reason to do so. The deal, despite its consequences, gives one a will, a purpose, a meaning, or something, or merely anything. As Kafka has said, “I am free, and that is why I am lost.” at the same time, “I am a cage, in search of a bird.” Mitski’s depth, everybody.

[@ur_l0cal_crypt1d_b00]

this is without a doubt one of my favorite mitski songs. i first heard it while playing mitski while weeding, and i had to completely take a step back to sit and honestly just kind of sob/think when the volume increased near the beginning. this is so beautiful, i feel so much when i listen to this song. i literally sob listening to this song, but in a good way, yk?

[@misayumera]

i cant believe this song jist saved the world

[@milo1942]

the way mitski invented agony just now😹

[@okayholden2531]

this song deserves so much more attention.

[@abloodcorpse3318]

This song hits so weirdly. It feels like a somber reflection of my own actions that I took so long ago that I've already come to terms with the decision. For me personally, the idea of giving up your soul means giving up your emotions, something you felt you can't bear to keep any longer, something you willingly let go of thinking it would make you better, thinking that there wouldn't be any consequences of note, and that nothing bad would come of it. But instead, you gave up a part of yourself, a part of who you are as a whole, a part you can't get back, all so that you get the smallest bit of temporary relief from your own pain. Now, you feel like a part of you has died, like you're nothing but the soulless husk left behind in such a transaction. All because of how desperately you just wanted a moment of relief, even just a second. Like a deal with the devil, you gave up something so permanent for something so temporary.

[@Lara-vo6rp]

This song reminds me of a midnight stroll thank you mitski
