Mitski said in an interview that i will came about because she wanted to write a love song but she didnt have anyone in mind so she wrote what she needed to hear
Last words of a shooting star is by far my absolute favourite from this album. It was a comfort song for me when I was in a really dark place. I believe the general idea of the song is that she is on a crashing plane (a star shooting out of the sky), and she is reflecting on how she wanted to die anyway, and this way she doesn’t have to feel guilty or leave that shame of “giving up” to her friends and family. Especially the line of “blood sniffing shark”, like she was depressed and looking to harm herself. The room being left tidy and clean makes it look like she had her life together to the people she leaves behind. It’s overall a very grim representation of wanting to die but not wanting to bare the shame that is usually associated with suicide, so by the plane crashing she is given a way to make her death “clean and pretty”. That’s how I interpreted it at least!
Absolutely this, down to it being a comfort at a dark point. My preferred version is the audiotree live performance because of a misinterpretation in my end - at ~1:03 after “carefully I was going to live” there’s a sort of feedback or background noise or something, but upon first listening when I didn’t know it was an indoor performance, I assumed it was a bird call caught by a mic and the contrast of birdsong after the line about living versus the imagery of the plane crashing really gets to me. One of those little things where a misreading ends up adding value where arguably it shouldn’t be
The thing is, she actually experienced this. The plane was on tirbulance and she said in her head "if I'm gonna die here, at least they will think of me kindly because I left my room tidy."
Despite many people's first thoughts, songs like these are more comforting and saved me from making dumb decisions in the heat of a moment, like many others. I personally took the airplane turbulence as a metaphor, like she's going through a rough patch in her life and its affecting her to the point where she is ending it all, but she still feels the need to apologize to other people as she is slipping away from life even then, her death would be nothing more than an inconvenience to others, so at least if she apologizes she can feel as if she hadn't burdened others so heavily, they'll never know how deeply her feelings went, how disturbing her thoughts would be, and would therefore find it easier to simply say "we had no idea." Some people choose to interpret it as suicide, others don't. I def did the first. She says she sat in there like a blood sniffing shark, as you said as if she is looking or thinking about if she were to die. Her dreams make music in the night, she wishes for something different from this, and yet she still gets up the next day. She talks about this other person, how they are infatuated and focused on themself rather than her, and she takes a louder more emotional tone as she speaks about a bell that is only a shell of its former self on the outside, yet its original form is walled in. How ironic for the "Liberty" bell to be trapped inside of a replica. It sings through the night of its dreams, with the bell of its original self, and is told to simply endure and that things will get better. She is constantly going back and forth, trying to convince herself that maybe she'd be able to keep on living. She always wanted to die clean and pretty, but was too busy living to be able to fix it into her schedule. We oftentimes continue on in life mindlessly despite harboring such thoughts, not always acting on them. I see it as her being relieved that she didn't realize something so pivotal would happen to her that she would choose to end it there, because if she had known she might have hesitated due to feeling a need to continue on. The entire song is a constant tug and pull of "I don't want to live anymore but I'm not really sure how to even go about it." This abrupt "turbulence" or issue in her life that strikes suddenly is something she is glad for. She no longer has to sit around waiting for an excuse or to have a moment to genuinely consider things and is pushed to the edge before being able to think rationally or make a mess with her emotions by faltering in her decision. And then there was none.
Just in case nobody told you yet: I Will is a love song that she realized that she had no one to write for, só instead, she wrote what she would like that somebody would write for her. She write for herself basically
i think this is by far one of her most beloved albums by her fans and i have to agree. each song is sooo carefully and intentionally crafted and just gets better and better on every listen

Mitski was one of the first artists (after Hozier) who’s voice brought me instant peace no matter what I was going through, and gave a voice to the grief that I could never put words to ❤
There is something so special about Mitski's voice. My favorite record of hers is Puberty 2, so please react to that. Her record "Retired from Sad, New Career in Business" is amazing as well.
YESSSSS THIS IS MY FAV MITSKI ALBUM!!! Loved your reaction!! My favs are Drunk walk home, I Will, and Last words of a shooting star! Also mitski said I Will is a love song she wrote while she wasn't in love and she wrote it to herself, the song is what she wishes someone would say to her!
the story behind i will is that mitski wanted to write a love song for the album but she didn't have a lover so she wrote it about things that she would like to hear from someone else
I think the song 'I Will' is taken from the perspective of a third person(mitskis lover) and the words being spoken are what Mitski would like to hear from that person.
You have to watch some of the live performances from this album! Drunk Walk Home especially (live at Palisades, and at Boston Calling), as well as Townie and I Don't Smoke.
No one can match Mitski's scream in Drunk Walk Home imo. I suggest you watch her performance of the song live in Palisades. Her scream there is terrific!
ahhh yes!!! this is my absolute favourite mitski album!! i definitely agree that she was still finding her style and experimenting, but its just so beautiful to me. I think my top five would be: Francis Forever, Last Words of a Shooting Star, Drunk Walk Home, First Love/Late Spring and Townie
the first 2 are SO GOOD and literally 2 of my top 3 of her albums. highly recommend!! them being university projects makes them more impressive for sure, but they 100% hold their own with her recent work IMO (she's obviously evolved and gotten better but it's like genuinely SHOCKING that she did Lush at 19 on her own with a friend -- who is still her producer!!)
actually I will is a song mitski wrote to herself kinda?? she said that she wrote it as a love song but she didn’t have anyone to write it about, so she wrote it about the things she wanted to hear from someone else ..
This reaction helped me appreciate the album more, thank you! :) I can’t wait for Puberty 2, that’s my favorite! My faves from this are Townie, Jobless Monday, I Will, I Don’t Smoke, and probably Last Words 💞
Hey! i've never commented on your videos, which i have been watching, but your videos are very nice and fun to watch. Bury me is def one of my fav albums ever, btw the title is a "the simpsons" quote lol, I'd say my top 5 songs are: carry me out, drunk walk home, francis forever, texas reznikoff and last words. Mitski said that her songs are up to interpretation and you give them your own meaning, which i think is cool (though some talk about racial and culture-clash things as you mentioned.) This is such a teen album and i love it, the ending i personally interpret with as a more dramatic ending. Great vid!!
I love how raw this album is for sure, even though that doesn’t make it any less intentional. I think Puberty 2 is an improvement in on this sound and it’s production but there’s something to be admired in how simply the story is told in this album
You should react to the new Hannah Diamond album Perfect Picture! She is one of the veterans of hyperpop and worked a lot with PC Music/A.G. Cook who produced much of Charli XCX's music. The album is really solid and I think you'd appreciate it

Makes me cry every time, it's so vulnerable
i think this is by far one of her most beloved albums by her fans and i have to agree. each song is sooo carefully and intentionally crafted and just gets better and better on every listen
yeah I feel that it feels very specifically crafted to me
last word of a shooting star is about a fiery plane going down (the shooting star). Mitskis kinda reliving her memories before the crash.
oh 😮
she never said that. But mitski did state she wants her listeners to interpret her songs however they want to
@@isabelaalbis5387 girl ok just saying what I've heard xo
Definitely do her first 2 albums!! Lush is my personal favourite - it's very eclectic but i think it has some of her best lyrics and vocals
Lush is my favorite as well
My Top 5
1- Drunk Walk Home
2- Townie
3- Jobless Monday
4- First Love / Late Spring

SO GLAD U REACTED TO THIS!
the first 2 are SO GOOD and literally 2 of my top 3 of her albums. highly recommend!! them being university projects makes them more impressive for sure, but they 100% hold their own with her recent work IMO (she's obviously evolved and gotten better but it's like genuinely SHOCKING that she did Lush at 19 on her own with a friend -- who is still her producer!!)
word
So glad you got to experience this amaizing album!!
Not to get your hopes up, but Puberty 2 is the one. Thematically, Bury Me… is a great primer for what gets explored in P2
actually I will is a song mitski wrote to herself kinda?? she said that she wrote it as a love song but she didn’t have anyone to write it about, so she wrote it about the things she wanted to hear from someone else ..
Yes if you want to react Lush and Retired from sad, new carrier in business then you should definitely do it!
OOO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE TY
This reaction helped me appreciate the album more, thank you! :) I can’t wait for Puberty 2, that’s my favorite!

nice mines so similar
Carry me out is a masterpiece
I would love to see you react to her university albums!
the crazier thing about mitski is that she was performing geyser before bmamc was released
oh really!! thats interesting
I almost died omg
Hey! i've never commented on your videos, which i have been watching, but your videos are very nice and fun to watch. Bury me is def one of my fav albums ever, btw the title is a "the simpsons" quote lol, I'd say my top 5 songs are: carry me out, drunk walk home, francis forever, texas reznikoff and last words.

the simpsons thing is so random hahah yeah I love how open her songs are for interpretation
unrelated but 3:48 is so real, i cant let me hair be a mess
So, laurel hell finally grew up on you or meh? Its my fav album, I think its her darkest and honest songs
OMG ITS FINALLY HAPPENING
ooooh yessss I love this album ❤️
I love how raw this album is for sure, even though that doesn’t make it any less intentional. I think Puberty 2 is an improvement in on this sound and it’s production but there’s something to be admired in how simply the story is told in this album
I highly recommend listening to Lush next
🫶🏼so excited
You should react to the new Hannah Diamond album Perfect Picture! She is one of the veterans of hyperpop and worked a lot with PC Music/A.G. Cook who produced much of Charli XCX's music. The album is really solid and I think you'd appreciate it
oh cool! yeah I've heard about her will defo check her out
