what i really love about mitski is that... it really takes time to let her music grow on you. she’s not a sensational hit that can please just anyone. i can imagine the people that have no idea who mitski is, won’t really think twice about her or think that she’s pretty generic. but she actually isn’t. her music is just so raw and melancholy... especially her lyrics. it’s very deep and poetic. once you’ve given a chance to properly learn who mitski really is, you really start to appreciate her as an artist and her music/song writing. her music really is a work of art.
I lived in New York for a while and at first I was deeply lonely, and I would open the window to hear people and eat next to a mirror so I wouldn’t feel so alone. I didn’t even realize I was doing it until I didn’t have to anymore
Okay so like sometimes i think her lyrics lack but then she sings them again and i hear and it’s actually really heartfelt and put more meaning into her fairly straightforward lyrics
really? i think mitski’s writing talent is one of the best ones i’ve encountered... all of her lyrics sounds really poetic and carefully crafted. especially “last word of a shooting star”. if you want an actual straightforward lyrics, i suggest listening to melanie martinez. i bought the crybaby ep, but the girl really needs to work on her writing skill.
i would argue that she's a really good lyricist... the line "did you know the liberty bell is a replica / silently housed in its original walls? / and while its dreams played music in the night / quietly, it was told to believe" will always be one of my favorites.

I love singing along to this and harmonizing with it. I'm trans male and I started taking testosterone a year and a half ago. I found this song a year ago and practicing it helped so much with my range and taught me how to get used to a lower tone since I sang an octave lower than the original. My voice when I identified as a girl was scratchy and weak, but because of this song I love my voice now, it's amazing, deep, strong, I have great range. I love it. But I wasnt even thinking about that while I sang along to this. I related to it so much because I've been in a really intense depression since 7th grade when I was told we were moving across the country. I havent been able to make friends for a long time because of it. I'd be friends with someone for a year, I'd date someone for a couple months, and then I'd just be stuck in a period of intense, God awful loneliness. This song spoke to me and changed my voice. And now mitski is my goddamn idol
@@artxangels6666 hi!! it actually came out near the end of june in 2018, since nobody was a single from be the cowboy :) still, i think it's best not to nitpick (even though i'm doing that…) and let this guy have his story!! thank you :)
The ability to sing this acapella and stay in tune is awesome. The chorus has both major and dominant 7th arpeggios, and she has to do it up a whole step followed by a half step key change. Very impressive without instruments.
it takes a lot of confidence to perform live alone like that with absolutely zero other instruments for support, especially a song like this with difficult vocals. she really pulled it off.
As much as ‘Nobody’ makes me emotional af and effectively rips my heart out it’s also comforting; it brings loneliness to the surface and in doing so reassures us that we are not alone in experiencing it; the lyrics reflect it so acutely. It’s a masterpiece. I always listen to this version when I’m real down, the popish version is a bop but in a way erodes its meaning. I think this; pure vocals and emotion is much more powerful.
I sing this to my 5 month old niece and it really calms her down! Thank you Mitski for making an emotionally devastating song that you can both dance and cry to!
this hits different bc now it feels like she's really completely alone with no one else to play the instruments as she sings (therefore she haves nobody)
This song encapsulates the continuous loneliness someone can feel after remembering different versions of themselves and being aware of the lack of admiration from others in each iteration. The song perfectly reflects the feelings of loneliness.
this is my favorite version of this song. so much more raw and emotional than the studio version. both are great but this version has such a different vibe. i felt so lonely after watching this lol but i keep coming back
Every time I see Mitski preform this it’s more and more stripped back. Eventually it’ll just be 3 minutes of the audience weeping.
i havent stopped thinking about this comment since i first saw it thank you
Honestly if Mitski was in front of me just standing with her beauty and not singing at all I'd start crying as well. She just has that effect on you
@@wpbn5613 me too buddy me too
mitski concert 2025: just piles of gay pride flags soaked with tears
@@MsOAWR five,,, five more years
i can't believe mitski ended instruments
and she created hands
did you know she also created music
She also invented vocal cords
she invented them only to destroy them all in this very video, as she should
and when she also created the universe as well
This hurts more wtf
yes ma'am
it's painfully lonely
@@bug3861 u spelt my name wrong
Cause there’s literally nobody now
Idk why it does but like owww
Everyone rise for your national anthem.
nobody rise for your national anthem
Lmaoooooooooo
Iconic.
It’s actually Drunk Walk Home
@@whattherichardd I did lol
the fact that she can stay on key with such a weird (but gorgeous) melody it so beyond impressive
I admire her voice a lot, but it's really not that difficult, specially if you're a singer
@@joselocalau123 its hard to stay on key acapella w weird melodies so it is pretty impressive to me
@@dudeman8645 i didn't mean it to be condescending, sorry. It's just that to me it isn't that difficult and my voice is absolutely not special at all
@@dudeman8645 she's wearing headphones so shes def listening to the instrumental
I sing a lot and this song is always weird for me to sing. It's just all over. I love it. I think it's hard tbh.
A new form of ASMR is created.
you mean acapella?
@@eylul4831 i think they got tingles from this lol
@@relanimh1039 i meant that i think acapella is the asmr of music
@@eylul4831 not at all, many acapella don't get me tingles, and I'm a sensitive one
:)
this hits different laying on the floor in the dark
i’m doing that rn how did you know 😟
me rn
just wanna say ty for the playlist title idea lol
It's one in the morning so yeah-
The longing in her voice in this version affect me in away that can’t be put into words
She is such a controlled and talented singer
She looks on the verge of tears it's such a raw song
i like how every comment section on mitski's performances is just a bunch of sad gays. i've found my people
Give one movie kiss and will be all right
HECC yes
yes (:
i will honestly be devastated if mitski turns out to be straight
i’ve found my people too yeehaw 🤠
wow anti-instrumental she just did *that*
it's called "a cappella"
@@AspenEmrys shhhhhh
@@yikesu3587 lol
whatever you wanna call it, it's brave af

This summed her up perfectly
It took me like 5 years to become a fan so this is so true
She sounds like a mom giving me a nursery rhyme putting me to sleep, what a beautiful voice
imma be jealous if/when she has a kid
& here i thought this song couldn't get anymore emotional for me
this version without an instrumental makes it sound 10x lonelier and it adds so much
mitski ur a genius
even the guitar is a fan
Wow she can sing her heart. It hurts..
Her voice is literally flawless, it sounds so absolutely clean it's insane
I lived in New York for a while and at first I was deeply lonely, and I would open the window to hear people and eat next to a mirror so I wouldn’t feel so alone. I didn’t even realize I was doing it until I didn’t have to anymore
im here, im queer, im full of tears
same, love your pfp

fav comment right here and same
i don't care if you're queer bro
@@spoonman4906you didnt have to reply then bro
i love how she goes into this trance when she sings its like she's in her own little world
Okay so like sometimes i think her lyrics lack but then she sings them again and i hear and it’s actually really heartfelt and put more meaning into her fairly straightforward lyrics

She's so insanely talented.
Lyrics:
My God, I'm so lonely
So I open the window
To hear sounds of people
To hear sounds of people
Venus, planet of love
Was destroyed by global warming
Did its people want too much too?
Did its people want too much?
And I don't want your pity
I just want somebody near me
Guess I'm a coward
I just want to feel alright
And I know no one will save me
I just need someone to kiss
Give me one good honest kiss
And I'll be alright
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Ooh, nobody, nobody, nobody
I've been big and small
And big and small
And big and small again
And still nobody wants me
Still nobody wants me
And I know no one will save me
I'm just asking for a kiss
Give me one good movie kiss
And I'll be alright
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Ooh, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, no
wetwafers why do you guys always do this. other fans exist in the world I-
tsunamethyst lol I didn’t do anything. I just really like the song and wanted people to see the lyrics if they wanted to
wetwafers yes.

such a wholesome comment im a trans guy too :)) wish u the best
@@renpatchi2868 Good luck to you as well! (The pattern of trans guys wishing each other the best continues it seems.. we need all the luck we can get)
I just died. I love your expressive and beautiful voice, Mitski. It's amazing to see how far you've come.
I love how some of her vocals sound like a yodel. lol
Have you listened to her album ‘Retired From sad, new career in business’? there seems to be some yodeling in there!
@@lettucelive I'll take a listen! :)
Ray's Room please let me know your thoughts! honestly one of my favorite albums, she’s so vulnerable in it and raw!
Her voice is an instrument ❤️
dont they all?
como se dice.... oof
The ability to sing this acapella and stay in tune is awesome. The chorus has both major and dominant 7th arpeggios, and she has to do it up a whole step followed by a half step key change. Very impressive without instruments.
Her eyes reflect how sad the song really is despite its upbeat melody. Mitski is something truly special.

This version is more comforting. The pop version to me articulates how loneliness has to be hidden behind a smile and upbeat attitude.
catch me laying in a field listening to this until my bones rot
Her voice is a huge amount of pent-up emotion
her finger snaps are more talented and amazing than my whole life
This needs to be public, the world needs this.
Aaahhhhh she went to my school!!! I saw her perform live at our music fest
Did she sing "I will always love you"?
What school
I sing this to my 5 month old niece and it really calms her down! Thank you Mitski for making an emotionally devastating song that you can both dance and cry to!
After 2 years it's still a legend
is snap an instrument
ilyy mitski
The lack of instruments pays tribute to the title of the song: "Nobody".
I love her so muchhhh, how you just gonna sound amazing without the backing track
Who started to sing along and just
W E E P
She could be a diamond in Steven Universe wow!!!
pink and blue diamond fusion 🤭
The way she switches octaves in the outro is absolutely mint
She’s such a talented singer
her voice, her face expresses everything.
This has been in my head for the past week, it's a mood and a bop. Release me you Siren
MITSKI WE NEED YOUR COMEBACK
OH MY GOD ITS GOD
she's gorgeous
This just kept sounding more and more inane I loved it holy heck
this hits different bc now it feels like she's really completely alone with no one else to play the instruments as she sings (therefore she haves nobody)
when I get a hair stuck in my eye, I watch this because tears well up involuntarily. I'm not even sad this song is just too powerful
I wish she would release more acoustic versions of her songs
MY EARS ARE BLESSED
I will never get over this performance. Mitski's vocal control and creativity is unreal.
therapy < mitski
mitski, i haven’t been okay since this video.
Gosh she is so beautiful
oh miss mitski came with the VOCALS today!!! you betta sing queen!!!
Hitting me hard right now oof

damn shoutout to that one person who liked,,
i’m obsessedddd I’ve finally found my song
@necrolf2 lmao
I have no words
This is so raw and beautiful . As an artist you have songs you wish you wrote. This is one for me. Crying on the bed.
This song encapsulates the continuous loneliness someone can feel after remembering different versions of themselves and being aware of the lack of admiration from others in each iteration. The song perfectly reflects the feelings of loneliness.
why am i sobbing uncontrollably
I wish one day I can just bop than sit there and weep to this, one day... one day...
mitski my beloved
i cant believe mitski invented snapping
queen got recommended to me again, i'm not complaining tho. this is perfect!
IT’S THE IMPECCABLE VOCAL CONTROL FOR ME
HER VOICE IS SO BEAUTIFUL I MIGHT CRY 😭
i cant believe mitski invented music. thank you mitski
I would and will die for her
This gave me the chills, no matter how many times I play this it will never be the same as how I saw this the first time.
perfect for remixing!
That's so true!!
her voice is so perfect
This is BOMB...
this is my favorite version of this song. so much more raw and emotional than the studio version. both are great but this version has such a different vibe. i felt so lonely after watching this lol but i keep coming back
her voice is so beautiful :o
it hurts, mitski please.... i love it
you are perfect im crying oh
I will never get over this performance. It's pure art
Her voice is amazing
Shes a God...
Her voice is just beautiful maybe even above it
This was so good! I love the emotion in her voice, I almost cried (´༎ຶ ͜ʖ ༎ຶ `)♡ The tune is so happy yet the lyrics so sad.
Her voice is magically amazingly flawless and ooooooh so beautiful.❤❤❤
I've felt such an overwhelming connection with mitski this past year and with this song in particular
i was moved to tears
i love mitski sm
Bro I-
I literally cried when I first heard nobody but THIS had me sobbing. I hate (love) you Mitski!
It’s so good. So good.
I love this version so much
She's great.
