    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

    This song made me realize that in my entire lifetime I've never actually slow danced with someone, and that makes me very sad. I never went to prom, or got married, much less stood up in a wedding. When I was a little girl, I always dreamed of those things, and just assumed they would come true. Now that I'm older, I've learned that life is but a dream, and peonies & slow dances aren't meant for girls like me.

    • @breathingfields

      You're comment reminded of a lyric by Joanna Newsom, from her song Emily ( ruclips.net/video/UGoNCvoZuYA/видео.html )
      Come on home, the poppies are all grown knee-deep by now
      Blossoms all have fallen, and the pollen ruins the plow
      Peonies nod in the breeze and while they wetly bow, with
      Hydrocephalitic listlessness ants mop up-a their brow
      Here is my favorite song by her!

    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.

      I know how you feel. I had a best friend who I was only friends with for a year, but it felt like we knew each other for so much longer. I miss her everyday, its been a year since I havent talked to her. She was all I was close to. It was a stupid reason we stopped being friends but if i could go back in time I'd tell her how much i loved her. It gets better, but I still think so much about the memories we had. I know I need to stop thinking so much about the past, since shes different know anyway, but its difficult when I thought she would stick with me through anything. Friendship breakups are harder to get over than relationship breakups

    My partner and I listened to this once and, both on the verge of breakdowns, we turned it off because it hurt too much. The fact that the song ends on a single note, almost suddenly, is painful. I was never an existential person until I met someone I cared so deeply about. I really hope we can be together physically someday, and they can put those dance classes to use and we can slow dance forever...

  • @kerykomo
    @kerykomo 4 года назад +245

    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.

    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. And those words make the person who said them look so unrecognizable… funny huh…

Hit's home hard, you get caught in a loop, can't stop dancing around each other because you don't want to lose what you have, terrified of change but longing for something more. Timing is a bitch.

    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.

    Reminds me of a friend from a while back--we kept bumping into each other over the years, in different states and countries; always fancied him but respected him enough that i didn't want to admit i had feelings and potentially lose the friendship. one of us was always single while the other was in a relationship, but we still wrote long hand-written letters or emails to each other as time passed. One day, he married someone he had only known for a few months and it quietly broke my heart. He asked me to come to the wedding and give a toast, so's I did, but wow it was rough. Found out a few years later he had a huge crush on me from a mutual acquaintance. I'm happily married now to a person I adore, have lovely children, a good job, and all sorts of cool things I wouldn't trade for anything. But we'll chat a couple of times a year and I can't help but feel a little lingering sadness, if only for the emotions/anguish wasted. This song captures all of them perfectly.

    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.

    Its been, a few hours.
    Me and this girl. We’ll call her Sariyah. I miss her, everything about her, but. I still have her.
    Last night, Around 10-12 It ended.
    139 days, the best days of my life.
    We were so reluctant and none of it is our faults, its my parents. I’ve been so Scared, because I’m a female and she is too. My family is homophobic. But I can’t deny the fact I love this girl, and shes saved my lifes so many times.
    She promised she wouldn’t leave me, we might of had ended the relationship. But, shes still here for me, every moment. I was playing this song throught it. To get me through all of it.
    After that, We called from 12:36am to just a few minutes ago, atm its 4pm. We called, for 14 hours, and I talk to her alot she doesnt speak back. All just me. I love to speak to her while she hears my voice and she always has the calmest sensation.
    She makes me smile, and completes me. I’m her first and last. she might be my third but. She Is my last. Unless, I ever get to see her again in that manor.
    I love you, Sariyah. More than anything. And When I felt that knife twisting in my stomach mentally it burned, hurt. You told me not to cry but. I just want your shoulder to cry on, because I know you’ll hold me as gentley as you can.
    - Je T’amie pour que tout, Alexandra.
    An I guess we’re done.

That said...he did give me his word that he’d deliver this letter to you. He said he owes me for that time I doubled back to save him. I’m sorry about then. I never would have imagined myself choosing those two...over you. I’m going to die soon...but, I’ll die without regrets. Or that’s what I’d like to say.
    Truth is... I do have one...
    It’s that I never got to marry you.
    with love,

Now my family accepts me better, not hers tho. Going through hrt together was surely a whole adventure, better than my whole life. I finally felt like myself and had and amazing girl on my side, although, i do think that our whole process would be a hundred times easier if we were young again, but as it is, i have her by my side and she has me. Sorry for the long comment, just wanted to get this out since this song really speaks to me about our relationship better than any other Mitski one. 💙💗🤍💗💙

  • @vilestdan
    @vilestdan 2 года назад +14

    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)
