MXMS BIO:
Tragedy and trauma are responsible for bringing Ariel Levitan and Jeremy Dawson together. The two form Me and My Shadow, or “MXMS” for short, and bring into existence funeral pop. MXMS made an impressive impact with the release of their single "I Revenge," and now they return with one of the darkest covers of "Something In The Way" by Nirvana. “"Something in the Way" is our favorite piece of Kurt's writing...the numb, submissive feeling has been glue for other frightened humans like us. Our re-creation of the song is our interpretation of Ariel’s daily cyclic journey through mental illness, depression, and the drugs that sometimes work. The song is meant to postpone the inevitable face to face with reality that’s en route.”

Something about this calms my anxiety. And I don't know why. I crave this style of music in such a big way when I'm feeling anxious. It's soothing.

[@ShadowBlackJack]

Beautiful cover.. Beautiful voice, beautiful woman. Perfect combination.

[@VincentDagenais]

Wow... love the theatrical prod on it!

[@niggasjit]

Thing is.. that few understand, is that this song is about crippling depression. You want to be happy and live a normal life but.... somethings in the way.

[@dirtyunclehubert]

kurt wrote this about the time / when he was homeless and literally lived under a bridge in his youth for a while.

[@whiskeyblack806]

OMG This Nirvana cover must have Kurt up in Heaven with a huge smile on his face cause he's so proud!

[@xXEmbracetheMetalXx]

I would imagine so 🙂

[@lisaslay-z8342]

yea def i luv mxms

[@jakebeaker4243]

Damn what a beautiful interpretation. Dancing with depression sucks

[@netdog713]

this needs hella more traffic- I'm gonna keep tweeting the link til my finger falls off

[@snooch1]

gave me chills

[@imyourhealer]

Крутой кавер и клип! По всей видимости, от части режиссер Бэтмена 2022 года вдохновлялся этой работой 👍

[@thesuccessfuldancer8440]

THIS IS GORGEOUS!!!!!!!! Just amazingly well put together! Great story (so sad) when you can take 3 minutes and put me on a journey like that! WOW!! F.f.L.

[@dustinhxc]

Absolutely love the video. Beautiful song and video!

It's the new Batman theme

[@ToniAllen]

Someone else covered it for the Batman soundtrack, didn't they? I haven't seen it, but I know it wasn't MXMS.

[@infinite.improbability7917]

Excellent! Beautiful cover, felt perfect.

[@texasjgirl]

Yessssss!!!!

[@robsadler5605]

[@mindeemadness4881]

Beautiful!! I can relate to the video as well.....

[@mariozaal]

I like this song.

[@Eric-jh9rs]

Parfait

[@timvancaelenberge7849]

My unimportant personal story: the day this was uploaded, my best friendship ever ended. Some of your songs were my first way of dealing with it. That was yesterday, and now, watching this video, the symbols seem to refer to me and my friend.

[@grainofsand4176]

Hope you are doing well and have made beautiful friendships 💜

[@laceymacpherson1228]

Nirvanas been my favourite band forever. So like anyone I'm always sketchy when I hear of a cover. Omg. This is amazing your interpretation and delivery have me goosebumps. Thank you for this❤️

[@SerpeMebleSzczecin]

Beautiful

[@lezride]

I just stumbled on to this cover. And, I absolutely love it! The eeriness and mystery that it portrays definitely adds a Nirvana-like touch.

[@troycfh]

You should hear it live - it was the most insane thing I’ve ever experienced. I wish that I could come up with the words to tell you how it felt...

[@grainofsand4176]

@@troycfhfellow shadow- SO grateful to have been there. One of My favorite bands. 💜

[@WhiskeyBlack777]

Perfectly haunting cover. Kurt must be proud.

[@kile777]

loveeeeeeee

[@sokerchik18]

Sick cover..has a slight Black Swan vibe

the duller the knife the deeper the cut

[@quinnkade2101]

ahhhHHhhhh it's been like a year and a half since I started listening abd i haven't heard one song I didnt love. great cover♡

[@seanstock4644]

Love this song and love her... was in NY when Kurt played this and this gives me goosebumps like then. Got to ask though, this video is perfection, she is so stunning and a true dancer that is clear... you don't move like that without years of training... so nice to see, but those contact lenses totally distract me, I like your natural eye color.

[@blahboidblah]

Dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight...

[@grainofsand4176]

Ah.😈 I saw it as the shadow self ... A different kind of devil I guess- thank you. I love to hear how others add to a song with interpretations.

It's not the original, but still has a nice darker vibe to it that's interesting.

[@Asori000]

Anybody else see the shadow guy on the porch creep in at the end??

[@grainofsand4176]

Careful watching💜..our shadows don't go away.

[@wilkernaves5450]

[@DrMurdercock]

NO fuckin way!

[@clintbeastwood6121]

“ENKI”

[@yayisavedzelda]

The pill bottle at 1:20 says "Ariel Levitan", the lead singer from MXMS. This song must be hugely personal to her to have her include her own medication in the video.

[@grainofsand4176]

I think all of their musique is intensely personal~as well as universal- that is why it is so profoundly beautiful. BTW catch Rx.

[@jodyrich2935]

It's also a pretty standard dosage of Bupropion (Wellbutrin) --an antidepressant. Definitely a powerful inclusion!

[@zedlordd]

Avatar also covered this

[@SierenH]

is this the video you lost?

[@oliviaernest7498]

Came here cause they liked my post on ig lol

[@jasoncampbell8468]

I like this better than the original, this was my favorite song by nirvana.

[@jamesshaffer9890]

Do you two how much this song is about the woman I left for my ex wife last year after 30 years?

[@cooper663]

They followed me on insta and I don't know them so I'm here checking out their music... Same with blood on the dance floor, I've heard of them from people on youtube but NEVER looked them up or listened to their music and they followed me... IDK XD

[@bobfredrickson1393]

Please respect Kurt Cobain. If not now, I hope soon

[@BrittanyStar]

GOD THAT SUCKS .. I'VE DONE THAT ..THE CUT IN THE SINK ....IT SUCKS

[@heymufti7526]

Tricky version is so much better.

[@ALDERS783]

Wack.

[@vasiliys.3775]

No.

[@Christianhillis69420]

Nirvana better

[@THESOGGYSPONGE]

Christian Hillis Gaming alright

[@grainofsand4176]

Maybe they didnt try to "do it better" -maybe just adding Something to a song they love. Like taking a picture of a beautiful flower rather than picking it. I think its just different and they are both amazing, beautiful songs.
