first love / late spring is accurate, but it hits hard on me because "please don't say you love me" reminds about my fear of attachment and me being the therapist friend-
EXACTLY ME TO!!! That's my favourite line in the song. I feel like I wouldnt be enough for them, or I would let them down. Then they would break the relationship and we would not be the same anymore, even worse we wont speak with eachother at all. I would rather be close friends than risk that happening, I would never want that to happen
@@mxrikim oh yeah! makes sense although for me its more like, "here we go again"/being stuck in a loop/not being able to get out because youre too afraid to do so like if it was done, they love me, i cant do anything about it
@@Garb4ge a-ay chill, the betting is metaphorical, meaning u keep trying to fix something that can’t be fixed Edit: like a doomed relationship or toxic friendship that u have become attached to
the "brand new city" one describes me perfectly. yknow when you're trying to hold water in your hands, but it keeps slipping through and you cant keep it together? that's kinda how my life feels at the moment
i feel like im the only person who is in love with "a burning hill", to me it's one of her best and most emotional works, the song itself is enough proof that mitski can make a song sound amazing with only 3 notes being played repeatedly
My favorite song is “First Love/Late Spring,” but I do not feel incapable of love. The song makes me think of being so dependent on someone, that you’re not ready to move on. The line “please hurry, leave me. I can’t breathe, please don’t say you love me” is saying that I need to move on and leave, and that I can’t love you anymore.
"because dreaming costa money, my dear" was my intro to mitski and i liked it so much because i wanted someone to be saying those things to me because my parents never did. i loved it and kept listening to it because i found comfort in being told something my inner child desperately needed to hear.
honestly i dont listen to music that i relate to i just listen to music that sounds good, which is the reason why mitski appeals to me sm bc THE WAY SHE WRITES HER MUSIC JUST FEELS LIKE A HUG
I love the song " me and my husband" it reminds me of my parents.. They have such a horrible relationship... My dad tore down my christmas tree today because he was angry at my mom.. They've always been so bad with each other.. I just wish and hope they're gonna be okay one day..
i can sadly relate my dad isnt celebrating christmas this year because "there isnt anything to be happy about this season" and their anniverary was christmas eve and they didnt even look at each other. i hope both our families will be okay one day
“Goodbye, my Danish sweetheart” is one of my fave Mitski songs omg...I RELATE TO ITS PART SO BADLY... ALSO PLEASE DO A PART TWO WITH CRACK BABY IT’S MY FAVE Some other songs to include are I want you, A pearl, A burning hill, My body’s made of crushed little stars, Liquid smooth, Real men, & Nobody. I HOPE IT’S NOT TOO MUCH I JUST REALLY LIKE THESE SONGS 😰
I'm not opposed to people having their own interpretations of songs that personally bring them comfort, however I think something needs to be said about Your Best American Girl. It's a song specifically about a purely POC struggle, and I see it reduced to the "second choice" song a lot, and that's really the only way it's used in edits and whatever. It makes me a bit sad, considering it's basically the only song I've heard that I can relate to in that specific way as a first-generation American POC child to immigrants. Power to you if you relate to the lyrics in your own way, but I've just observed that the original meaning gets forgotten a lot and kind of stepped over.
I honestly didn't even know that its about being a POC and that gives it so much meaning and makes it so much more relatable for me because I'm also POC and my parents are both immigrants although I do live in australia but still obviously similar issues so thank you for saying this
hi !! first of all i’m sorry if you felt uncomfortable in any way with what i wrote for your best american girl and i understand that the song is abt poc/woc struggles (i’m a poc myself). i just put “you were never a second choice” because i thought it also highlighted how poc are never a first choice in romance or dating especially when compared to yt people. i didn’t mean to take the original meaning of the song away !! probably should’ve specified that it was poc who were always a second choice haha 😭
jobless Monday : went through an abusive relationship with someone you hate but miss him/living in a poor household who’s parents never loved you and your dad only loving you in suspicious acts

For first love/late spring this is true for me- at least romantically. Whenever I feel that way towards anyone, I’m too quickly and too attached to them, and it does drive me lunatic at one point. I try to suppress these feelings now, and I reject any opportunity such as this given to me, I just don’t want to hurt anyone..
"I bet on loosing dogs" reminds me of my dog, Koa. He's a German shepherd malamute mix and I've had him since I was 7. My mom and stepfather got devorced in September and my step father kept Koa. So to me, "I bet on loosing dogs, I know their loosing and I pay for my place" represents my hope of getting him back. :) Its not my favorite but it's like top 3
So my favorite of these were "You went through a one-sided love" "Seeking validation from someone who won't give it to you" "You've always been a second choice" "You're probably insecure and feel incapable of love" .... this felt like a personal attack or something-
I overall listen to Mitski because she practically speaks to me with her songs and it always makes me cry. Like I feel like I have never been talked to ever before and finally somebody was able to. And I was able to finally understand. And *they understood*. And that hurts more than anything.
Working for the knife: You fear that you’ll never be able to achieve your dreams due to being trapped in a monotonous life cycle. Washing machine heart: You feel like a replacement for someone else rather than your own person A Pearl: You put up barricades to protect yourself after being harmed but they also block out people who care about you
One of my favorite songs (and also the song that really got me listening to Mitski) is “the last words of a shooting star”. It’s so peaceful and I don’t know what she really intended to convey, but I interpret it as a song about daily struggle with life and being so caught up in chores, responsibilities that the world gives you no space to suffer. You are being told to believe in your meaningfulness (like a shooting star), but your burning up every day and you’re about to fall
as a person who absolutely loves, goodbye my danish sweetheart, first love/late spring, your best american girl and kins shinji and childe, i do not even know if i am okay, but all i know that this is extremely accurate.
Nah cuz Humpty didn’t have to call me our like that. Also Sk8 the Infinity and Bungo Stray Dogs?! Very cool :D Although it hurts because it fits those characters: :’)
First love/ late spring is my favorite of all of the mitski songs, Me and my Husband being a very close second. All of the songs are amazing, but the line "Please don't say you love me," really hits hard. I was struggling with my relationships not too long after my friend outed me about being aromantic to my other friend who had/has feelings for me. This caused a lot of misinformation and miscommunication between me and the person who confessed their love to me, the person who "loves" me. I had a 3 day mental break down and couldn't handle them saying "I love you" when I didn't know how to tell them how I really felt. But I cleared things up in the end. The line: "Please hurry, leave me" I relate to because I didn't want to deal with the complications of "love" and just wanted to never see them again, even though I cared deeply for them. I was too painful to deal with the fact that they want answers and I don't know how to explain them and that they believed/believe that they are in a one sided love relationship, when I truly "love" them, just in a different way. I still struggle to say the phrase "I love you" to anyone really after my parents' d!v0rc3 and even harder to say it to my now queerplatonic partner and I am filled with anxiety if it's really right for me to say "I love you" to them after they say it so casually. Anyways, just my story about the line: "Please don't say you love me." Just a song that helps me cope/express my feelings. Mitski is a great artist too
My friend went to Florida for a concert in August and got Covid and came back to my state and to this day swears up and down how it was worth it and how she would do it again but since she was sick and had to quarantine, she missed my birthday and whenever she goes to a concert it reminds me of the time she chose going to Florida for a band to see a singer who doesn't know she exists over me. It really makes me resent her sometimes and I listen to "Fireworks" by Mitski when I think of it. I've been there for her for years and I'm the reason her life hasn't completely fallen apart but when she makes instagram posts and outwardly talks about how bands she likes and songs saved her life it makes me never want to do anything good for anyone again. I know that she appreciates me and it's not her fault that she'll never be able to help me how I helped her, but the way she disrespects me without giving me a means of meaningful conversation for resolution has only made me resent her and resent everything I've invested into our relationship. We'll FaceTime and she'll tell me a story and I listen. Then I try to tell a story and she'll interrupt me to show me a tiktok she was watching when she was ignoring me. Now we just sit in silence. I've been answering less and less calls. "One morning this sadness will fossilize And I will forget how to cry I'll keep going to work and you won't see a change Save perhaps a slight gray in my eye" "I will be married to silence The gentleman won't say a word But you know, oh you know in the quiet he holds Runs a river that'll never find home" Idk nobody asked but I'm pretty sure nobody will ever read this. If you are reading this, "Burning Hill" absolutely slaps and "Townie" reminds me of that time I had a heart attack and spent 6 days in the hospital.
You know what, I have more to say. She makes weird comments on my body and it makes me uncomfortable but I don't think she's ever going to stop and I've started to dismiss any conversation on my body which is so annoying because I like my body and I do want to talk about it sometimes. I absolutely hate closing off means of communication because then relationships become less genuine but I suppose that, in a way, her lack of ability for meaningful discussion has already made that choice for me.
putting my favorites here because I love calling myself out me and my husband: 0:00 brand new city: 0:26 francis forever: 0:42 I have just realized my favorite mitski songs are most of them. I bet on losing dogs: 0:56 your best american girl: 1:26 (note: it’s one of my favorites because I can relate to it as a poc and a woman, and seeing it watered down to ‘second choice song’ hurts. like, a lot.) first love/late spring: 2:13
aaaaaa i know my interpretation might’ve come off that way but i didn’t mean to water down the original meaning of your best american girl :( i was aware that it was a song abt poc struggle, i just put in “you are always a second choice” because i thought it highlighted how poc are always a second choice in romance. it came off a bit vague and addressed generally because i didn’t put in “poc” so that was my bad !!
First love / late spring is really accurate, at least for me. I've been in several relationships where I haven't been able to reciprocate and I've never really understood how they felt or how they could feel that towards me, nevermind how I could feel the same. "Love" has always been a hard emotion for me to understand.
My favorite Mitski song has to be “Two Slow Dances” because…idk really it just makes me feel really..nostalgic ig? It makes me tear up a little every time I hear
impeccable taste for choosing characters from vnc and bsd ESPECIALLY also because the songs fit them well too WHICH MEANS that the creator read the manga and thats just *chefs kiss
some more!! washing machine heart: you have been used and are tired of it liquid smooth: you don’t wanna be seen as just an object to be sexualised and then be discarded of class of 2013: you have mommy issues
i bet on losing dogs will always hold a special place in my heart. the feeling the song gives me its like the unconditional love from a mother that i never received. n the beginning never fails to make me cry, idk the “you’re my baby” part jus hits hard. its like im ur special person who u hold every dearly. idk this song sounds so defeated n i love it. the way i interpret it might be stupid but it rlly holds a special place in my heart haha
my spotify wrapped said mitski was my top artist this year and that 'i bet on losing dogs' was my most listened to song. this didn't include me listening to the AEA sessions version on youtube, of which i listened to significantly more than the album one because tbh i only remember listening to the youtube video one. safe to say, at that point in my life, i was really, really not okay haha
Feels weird to comment but here we go! I love to listen to nobody it gives me that optimism I need when I feel the world crumbling around me. However, if I were to choose my favorite it’s losing dogs. Yes I’m doing alright but nobody is a picture frame without cracks. I love this song because it reminds me of my little cousin. She was little when her parents divorced and she lived with her dad in my basement he rented out. She was mostly trusted to me because she and I were little girls but I took care of her like she was mine. I bathed her, fed her, told her stories and she was taken away from me when my uncle moved out. I feel pained because I miss her but I know I was too little to even say I cared for her like a parent. Every time I hear this song I bawl because I remember how my little self felt the void of her being away from me. I feel like some grammar may be bad but English is technically my second language. I don’t comment often but I genuinely hope no response is demeaning, just listen and move on.
Not me going yes to all of these, honestly when I listen to music and specifically Mitski's I am really exploring a part of myself or a character or taking some weird comfort in it. A part two would be hella cool, also I found a few mitski songs I haven't listened to yet or don't remember and.. now they're on my playlist
This is pretty accurate. || Some-what Vent: I know my favorite song of hers is I Bet on Losing Dogs because I know I can never count on my parents for much, since they didn't take up all the responsibilities they had to with raising kids. My parents kind of neglect me and my siblings feelings and don't really check up with us much everyday, so everytime I put my faith in my parents they let me down. A lot of times when I try to tell my mom if I've been feeling down it always turns into an argument or her telling me what is wrong with me. My dad just always tells me that I wasted my potential and then spends time spending money on his own desires. I wish it was different but I can't do much about it so these songs give me comfort. I like me and my husband for the reason in the video too 💀
When you asked am I okay on I bet on losing dogs you almost made me cry. Your the first person to ask me that. Since I’m always smiling people don’t think to ask me. Yea, I’m ok know that you asked ❤️
my two favourite songs from her are probably real men and last words of a shooting star. their moods are very different but they both bring me comfort in their own way, and i relate to them a lot
My favorite is "Goodbye, My Danish Sweetheart" because I've left so many friends and I hope I left a lasting impression until I changed into something completely different because even though it's wrong, I enjoy it so much. The happy tones and asking someone you loved who's left to tell your story as not who you are now, but what you were to them.. it feels like I'm running further and further into the forest as all the townspeople are calling out to me while I chase wisps down.
It doesn't feel right when somebody tries to change the meaning to "Your best American girl", I feel as if it should only be about the struggles POC go through.
The first love/late spring description you said really fits me, the “please don’t say you love me” resembles me of how I’m scared of someone loving me because I lack sympathy and empathy and so I wouldn’t be able to love them back, or how I wouldn’t be able to help my friends when they are sad or be happy for them when they accomplish something
Concidering three of my favourites are me and my husband, Francis forever, and first love/late spring, I really should've noticed how terrible my relationship was sooner hahah
first love/late spring For me, it represents that fear of being the psychologist friend, who is there to listen, the only good thing to do is listen to others and help them a little, "please don't say you love me" i have that fear, please, I'm just listening to you, I don't want to hear a love you from you, please let me go
first love / late spring is accurate, but it hits hard on me because "please don't say you love me" reminds about my fear of attachment and me being the therapist friend-
EXACTLY ME TO!!! That's my favourite line in the song. I feel like I wouldnt be enough for them, or I would let them down. Then they would break the relationship and we would not be the same anymore, even worse we wont speak with eachother at all. I would rather be close friends than risk that happening, I would never want that to happen
@@mxrikim oh yeah! makes sense

It was too fucking accurate…And it was my top mitski song on my Spotify wrapped-
“Seeking validation from someone who won’t give it to you” with a picture of akutagawa
I demand an apology right now and I expect tears
"I've made immense relapse of judgement"

I overall listen to Mitski because she practically speaks to me with her songs and it always makes me cry. Like I feel like I have never been talked to ever before and finally somebody was able to. And I was able to finally understand. And *they understood*. And that hurts more than anything.

I've been there for her for years and I'm the reason her life hasn't completely fallen apart but when she makes instagram posts and outwardly talks about how bands she likes and songs saved her life it makes me never want to do anything good for anyone again. I know that she appreciates me and it's not her fault that she'll never be able to help me how I helped her, but the way she disrespects me without giving me a means of meaningful conversation for resolution has only made me resent her and resent everything I've invested into our relationship. We'll FaceTime and she'll tell me a story and I listen. Then I try to tell a story and she'll interrupt me to show me a tiktok she was watching when she was ignoring me. Now we just sit in silence. I've been answering less and less calls.
"One morning this sadness will fossilize
And I will forget how to cry
I'll keep going to work and you won't see a change
Save perhaps a slight gray in my eye"
"I will be married to silence
The gentleman won't say a word
But you know, oh you know in the quiet he holds
Runs a river that'll never find home"
Idk nobody asked but I'm pretty sure nobody will ever read this. If you are reading this, "Burning Hill" absolutely slaps and "Townie" reminds me of that time I had a heart attack and spent 6 days in the hospital.
You know what, I have more to say. She makes weird comments on my body and it makes me uncomfortable but I don't think she's ever going to stop and I've started to dismiss any conversation on my body which is so annoying because I like my body and I do want to talk about it sometimes. I absolutely hate closing off means of communication because then relationships become less genuine but I suppose that, in a way, her lack of ability for meaningful discussion has already made that choice for me.
Ditch her!!! You deserve better. Fuck fake bitches, and you know what, if she wants to make it right she'll come back
man, i've been there. it took me 7 years to let go and realize it just wasn't worth it. sending you love bro
plsss, part two with a pearl and a burning hill, they’re my favorites!!! but the video is great and first love/late spring is SO ACCURATE!!!!
putting my favorites here because I love calling myself out
me and my husband: 0:00
brand new city: 0:26
francis forever: 0:42
I have just realized my favorite mitski songs are most of them.
I bet on losing dogs: 0:56
your best american girl: 1:26 (note: it’s one of my favorites because I can relate to it as a poc and a woman, and seeing it watered down to ‘second choice song’ hurts. like, a lot.)
first love/late spring: 2:13
thank you , ppl try so hard to change what ur best American girl means
aaaaaa i know my interpretation might’ve come off that way but i didn’t mean to water down the original meaning of your best american girl :( i was aware that it was a song abt poc struggle, i just put in “you are always a second choice” because i thought it highlighted how poc are always a second choice in romance. it came off a bit vague and addressed generally because i didn’t put in “poc” so that was my bad !!
@@vanoeluvrs ty for the clarification!
francis forever is so true, im always seeking validation from someone who shows a little bit of affection towards me
Thank you so so much for this, Mitski's my Top Artist of 2021....yes I'm *going through it* (but aren't we all?)
brand new city is pretty accurate ngl
i love this!! for me every song interpretation u had is pretty accurate, esp w one of my faves first love / late spring:)
First love / late spring is really accurate, at least for me. I've been in several relationships where I haven't been able to reciprocate and I've never really understood how they felt or how they could feel that towards me, nevermind how I could feel the same. "Love" has always been a hard emotion for me to understand.
My favorite Mitski song has to be “Two Slow Dances” because…idk really it just makes me feel really..nostalgic ig? It makes me tear up a little every time I hear
I meant to put Two Slow Dancers sorry
impeccable taste for choosing characters from vnc and bsd ESPECIALLY also because the songs fit them well too WHICH MEANS that the creator read the manga and thats just *chefs kiss
some more!!
washing machine heart: you have been used and are tired of it
liquid smooth: you don’t wanna be seen as just an object to be sexualised and then be discarded of
class of 2013: you have mommy issues
The way the characters in each song relates to the song
i bet on losing dogs will always hold a special place in my heart. the feeling the song gives me its like the unconditional love from a mother that i never received. n the beginning never fails to make me cry, idk the “you’re my baby” part jus hits hard. its like im ur special person who u hold every dearly. idk this song sounds so defeated n i love it. the way i interpret it might be stupid but it rlly holds a special place in my heart haha
I love brand new city so much and the description is scarily accurate
my spotify wrapped said mitski was my top artist this year and that 'i bet on losing dogs' was my most listened to song. this didn't include me listening to the AEA sessions version on youtube, of which i listened to significantly more than the album one because tbh i only remember listening to the youtube video one. safe to say, at that point in my life, i was really, really not okay haha
the fact i relate so much with francis forever and that i also kin akutagawa hurts 🥲 plus what you said is accurate asf 😭
Feels weird to comment but here we go!
I love to listen to nobody it gives me that optimism I need when I feel the world crumbling around me.
However, if I were to choose my favorite it’s losing dogs. Yes I’m doing alright but nobody is a picture frame without cracks. I love this song because it reminds me of my little cousin. She was little when her parents divorced and she lived with her dad in my basement he rented out. She was mostly trusted to me because she and I were little girls but I took care of her like she was mine. I bathed her, fed her, told her stories and she was taken away from me when my uncle moved out. I feel pained because I miss her but I know I was too little to even say I cared for her like a parent. Every time I hear this song I bawl because I remember how my little self felt the void of her being away from me.
I feel like some grammar may be bad but English is technically my second language. I don’t comment often but I genuinely hope no response is demeaning, just listen and move on.
bro i cant even choose a favourite, they all hit in a different way
Not me going yes to all of these, honestly when I listen to music and specifically Mitski's I am really exploring a part of myself or a character or taking some weird comfort in it.
A part two would be hella cool, also I found a few mitski songs I haven't listened to yet or don't remember and.. now they're on my playlist
I didn’t expect you to include humpty cause no one ever does so I was just chilling and then you CALLED ME OUT
Same lmao
Also would really love an interpretation of Washing Machine Heart if you could add that to Part 2 ;-;
ofc i’ll def include washing machine heart!! it’s a beautiful mitski song
first love/late spring: You are correct, although I did manage to love but then they disappointed me and made me feel worse than I was.
I can’t choose
My favorite song is "All I want for Christmas is nobody" (the mitski meme)
This is pretty accurate. || Some-what Vent: I know my favorite song of hers is I Bet on Losing Dogs because I know I can never count on my parents for much, since they didn't take up all the responsibilities they had to with raising kids. My parents kind of neglect me and my siblings feelings and don't really check up with us much everyday, so everytime I put my faith in my parents they let me down. A lot of times when I try to tell my mom if I've been feeling down it always turns into an argument or her telling me what is wrong with me. My dad just always tells me that I wasted my potential and then spends time spending money on his own desires. I wish it was different but I can't do much about it so these songs give me comfort. I like me and my husband for the reason in the video too 💀
You are damn right, I absolutely despise myself (goodbye, my danish sweetheart)
When you asked am I okay on I bet on losing dogs you almost made me cry. Your the first person to ask me that. Since I’m always smiling people don’t think to ask me. Yea, I’m ok know that you asked ❤️
Also same thing for First love/late spring… how is this so accurate
my two favourite songs from her are probably real men and last words of a shooting star. their moods are very different but they both bring me comfort in their own way, and i relate to them a lot
My favorite is "Goodbye, My Danish Sweetheart" because I've left so many friends and I hope I left a lasting impression until I changed into something completely different because even though it's wrong, I enjoy it so much. The happy tones and asking someone you loved who's left to tell your story as not who you are now, but what you were to them.. it feels like I'm running further and further into the forest as all the townspeople are calling out to me while I chase wisps down.
First love/late spring is one of my favorite Mitski songs, and yes you're right.
It doesn't feel right when somebody tries to change the meaning to "Your best American girl", I feel as if it should only be about the struggles POC go through.
*I like the songs 'Last words of a shooting star' + 'I bet on losing dogs' and the video/s just like "Yo, are you ok?"*
The first love/late spring description you said really fits me, the “please don’t say you love me” resembles me of how I’m scared of someone loving me because I lack sympathy and empathy and so I wouldn’t be able to love them back, or how I wouldn’t be able to help my friends when they are sad or be happy for them when they accomplish something
POV: Your favorite songs are Humpty, First Love/ Late Spring and Liquid Smooth
humpty and first love/late spring are my two top songs made by mitski, though francis forever has so be a close 3rd. I love the interpretations!
My favs in this video are I bet on losing dogs and first love/late spring (yes they fit me) but my all time fav is Last words of a shooting star
brand new city hit hard,,,
"Are you okey" No, Im absolutely not
I love the fact that the characters ( at least the ones I know ) fit the songs perfectly
i just love mitski so much, her songs give me comfort when i feel empty and nothing
when all mitski songs are your favorite: my ways are beyond your understanding
Last words of a shooting star 😃
THE AKU PICTURE AT FRANCIS FOREVER WAS UNNECESSARY- sincerely, an Akutagawa kinnie
THE FIRST LOVE/LATE SPRING AND GOODBYE, MY DANISH SWEETHEART ONES WERE SO ACCURATE IM GONNA CRY NOW
okay so before i loved gmds because of the catchy leitmotif and vocals, of course, but this is so accurate?? damn
Concidering three of my favourites are me and my husband, Francis forever, and first love/late spring, I really should've noticed how terrible my relationship was sooner hahah
your best american girl is so accurate, so accurate that it made me start crying on the spot
Fav is I Bet On Losing Dogs. Can confirm I'm at my lowest.
first love/late spring For me, it represents that fear of being the psychologist friend, who is there to listen, the only good thing to do is listen to others and help them a little, "please don't say you love me" i have that fear, please, I'm just listening to you, I don't want to hear a love you from you, please let me go
How about liquid smooth? That’s my favorite Mitski song
“are you okay…” FUCK YOU GOT ME.
It's funny how I just started listening to mitski and all of these simultaneously describe me right now
I've had different favorite Mitski songs at different times but dang you called me out every single time
