Every time I listen to a mitski song I don’t feel like I’m hearing a new song. It feels like something I’ve heard before and it gives me this sense of nostalgia but I know I’ve never fucking heard this song

Mitski’s songs always feel like a memory to me- like a bittersweet/ nostalgic memory that you look back on when you’ve grown up a bit and can see the moment from a new perspective.

My grandparents met when they were in high school. They came from very different families, but they were so in love. Star crossed, you could even say. Back in the 50’s, the two used to slow dance in their old gymnasium. They went steady, fell in love, got married and slow danced all through their lives. They danced in each other’s arms for 50+ years... At a wedding, all of the couples attending slow danced on the floor, slowly getting eliminated. It was a competition to see who was married the longest. My grandparents of course were the last ones out. The two of them danced on that floor so slowly, but their love was still the same as in the old gymnasium back in high school. I was so proud to have them be my grandparents. They showed me that love is so possible. When my grandpa passed away last year, my grandma was crushed. But the ground had to pull them back at some point. That’s why this song just...fits. It’s so bittersweet. I cry every time I listen to it. I also know that no matter what happens, John and Von will forever be dancing. Thank you for this beautiful feeling Mitski ❤️

This reminds me of a friend of mine. He graduated from school this year and I still have two years left. We did not have a chance to say goodbye. I had always admired him (platonically, no-hetero) but I always thought it was one-sided. He met my mum a few days ago and told her something that basically meant that it was not a one-sided admiration sort of thing. I regret that my lack of self-esteem prevented me from appreciating our friendship. I'm going to miss him a lot. I may see him again soon and I hope I may say goodbye to him properly.

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

[@pam1073]

This song tells about a couple that now are older, but they still dancing togheter how they used do when they were young... The phrases like " 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." Means they're are closer to death but they are fine with it. They just want to dance together again while their lifes still allow them.

[@kerykomo]

Love is a funny concept. I often find myself having to calm my human nature; keep telling myself it's a chemical imbalance, because until I get my problems balanced, and my issues in a row no one will be there, or want to be there. "they" always say, you have to love yourself before you can love others, but what "they" don't understand is the lack of love for myself. The hole in my heart, meant for myself, can only fit the pieces of others inside. Jigsaw puzzles make me dizzy and dazed. school dances were never really for me. due to my anxiety, i could never stand the environment. I have a hard time at house and dorm parties, even. All I want is a safeguard; an arm to cling to or a hand to hold. did I mention I can't dance? I used to waltz with life when I was younger, but I stepped on his toes one too many times, and when life dipped me, I fell out of it's grasp. I hit my head on the floor, making me forever dizzy; feeling forever spinning reality. i've never had a girlfriend. i've never had a boyfriend. i've never had a significant other in any way. but i hope someone, someday, will be willing to pick me up off the floor, slow my spinning head and instead twirl me, and show me how to dance again.

[@kashe7285]

This song was always sad but it hurts me so bad now. I've been dating my girlfriend for a few months now, and I've loved her for years. She had always made my heart race, gave me butterflies, gave me that adrenaline rush when I so much as saw her face. Loving her was so foreign to me, it was the first time I'd ever felt that way, and it was both the worst and the best feeling in the whole world. And there's no way to describe how I felt when she told me she liked me back. It's like my feelings deepened by ten fold, my yearning for her was SO strong, distracting even on some days. I wanted her so badly, to do more than just text and call her, when this pandemic passed it would get better, right? I went to prom with her a few days ago, she asked me. It was the first time I would hangout with her in over a year. But I'd had this worry, I hadn't been feeling as connected to her as of late. I felt so distant from her as a matter of fact, all conversations seeming like an effort to keep going. But seeing her would change that, right? It would all be okay. We didn't dance at prom. We didn't hold hands. We showed little affection toward each other, when I tried to initiate it she seemed distant and awkward. Most of what I said was brushed off, every attempt at being more of myself I felt that she hated it. Even at dinner, at my house, she only felt like a friendly presence. Why didn't I get that rush of excitement when she hugged me and drove me in her car? No longing, no yearning, no desire to be with her. There was... nothing there. I felt nothing. And as the days pass it's as if I feel less and less. I want that feeling back. I want it back so bad. Whether it be the fluffy, warm feeling I got when I played minecraft with her or the passionate and heart wrenching feeling I got from another day of not seeing her, I just want it back. I want to feel SOMETHING for her. Yet I can't. No matter how hard I try. Please, just let it be the same again. Please.

My sister and I won’t play pokemon together, and spend all our money on trading cards. My brother wont bully me to a non ending depression. I won’t overhear my dad say that He thinks I’m stupid and wanted any other kid then me… Those moments make me better. But they stab like a knife for a week or two.

no no you don't understand, finding mitski's music literally helped me i've got a lot going on in my life for the last few months (well, years, but those months especially) and some music in the evening was my only relaxing time, so when i found washing machine heart, then i bet on losing dogs, then class of 2013 and then two slow dancers, i finally felt as if someone got to put into words all that stuff going on in my life and even if it didn't make much sense, i felt understood work, relation with my mother, school coming to an end, uncertain future and longing for someone who i will only be able to meet after my own death, and even that isn't a warrancy mitski's songs made more sense than whatever i tried to say for those couple of months and having her music in my daily life now is somewhat easing up the stress constantly living inside of me so thank you, mitski, for putting in your songs words i could never articulate and making me feel better with what i'm currently dealing with (and will be, for few months at least yet)

This album came out nearly a year after my grandma passed away, but if it had been around at the time I certainly would've put it forward as a possible song to play at her funeral service. Not just for the text on growing old, but also because her dance partner had been gone for thirty years by that time so the part of being young again really would've been easier for them. But that's not how the world works (unfortunately). At least this song brings me back to memories of her and that makes me happy in a way

Oh Yeah Yeah How??? It came out after prom season and prom season this year is months away...

@@alize0623 some schools have multiple dances

[@alize0623]

Spaixel Prom is only once a year, though. Not every dance is called prom. Homecoming, semi-formals, Sadie Hawkins, etc.

Is it just me, or does this song have MAJOR Twin Peaks vibes? GOSH this is so good!

[@oof2672]

ooh yes, especially the part from 1:58 to 2:05, chills

[@dexwnz]

[@bbgsatoru]

when mitski says, it would a be a hundred times easier, my heart breaks at that. i don't why but i always can't help but cry.

[@mayzeesee]

Hey mitski I'm going to cry when you release this album

This makes me think of when I was in elementary school. There was this big semi-formal dance with kids and their fathers. My mother was dj-ing for the event. I was the only kid whos dad refused to go with and it hurt so much because there was nothing going on that day, he just didn't want to spend time with me. And I absolutely understand wanting time to yourself and just sorta exist. But I was his kid. I loved my dad so much and he just refused to acknowledge me. It hurt so much and it still does. And yet she spends so much time.with my siblings. It's like I'm not even here. I feel like I don't exist to him. And yet there are days where he does give me love and attention and it makes me feel so selfish for feeling so alone. It hurts.

This song made me wake up and realize that my best friend of 7 years is no longer wants to be my friend

i love the concept of the disco ball just hanging out in a literal nowhere(that looks like a middle of universe). It feels like it's crystals? are depicting the 100 moments the person mitski thought of when she wrote it shared. She also mentions abt how it would be so much easier if they were young again emphasizing the disco ball since she is a millenial and LEDs were not a choice back in the days. Maybe im overanalysing but i love the dots connecting so vividly and i love mitski just as much : D

[@CarlenwRat]

Currently stargazing while listening to this song, it feels almost magical

[@CarlenwRat]

And now I’m crying lol, what a wonderful time I have with this song

[@smnthatj]

im gonna do this one day when the sky is clear it sounds magical

[@ellad5740]

im gonna pass out she packs so much emotion into her songs. she’s so so wonderful

[@isabelsomething8762]

I want to dance under the stars with someone to this song, well thats the same for most mitski songs

Even if the title has "two" i still can't stop relating this song to myself With the 2 dancers being me now and myself as child. Growing up had really dirt poor communication and social skills, i struggled to look at people, to speak and understand them in general. Nowadays i struggle with life as an adult. I struggle with just living tbh. Unlike everyone in my friend group who somehow managed i stayed back and slow fighting myself to become someone with nothing. It's tough. It was tough and i think it'll always stay tough for me to live. So I'll dance with my youngerself until I can catch up the pace and maybe have a chance

[@galbiroad]

thank u for this! this is one of my favorites from the album and i never thought of interpreting it that way but now that reading completely makes sense as well and i can totally relate

[@halonoii]

first time listening not one minute in and im crying. how are these songs so emotional?

[@jazwaddington7312]

no matter what i do. no matter where i go, i always end up here. cry about it or laugh about it, it would be a hundred times easier if we were young again. but as it is and it is.

[@mayagarcia5260]

loved hearing/seeing this live last night

[@gmcclary5878]

For anyone who has read "Heaven" by Mieko Kawakami, this is the entire novel condensed into a single song.

[@arianeuy4663]

i cant wait to listen to this properly later, i love you mitski

[@samuelgee6463]

God, this one hurt. This one hurts. This one really, really, really hurts.

[@memesoverdreams3969]

About a week ago my girlfriend broke up with me because of my depression. This is how the last few weeks of our relationship felt. I was so drained and overwhelmed and we both just wanted to go back to when we were younger. I feel so alone, especially knowing that maybe i could have been better in some other timeline.

[@matheuscoelho9937]
