I do not own this song, it belongs to Mitski, however I did create the lyric video myself. ° enjoy my video and leave a like!! ° Instagram : squishy.butterfly_eggs
mitski said she wanted this to be a love song but she didn't have anyone to write about so she wrote it about the things she wanted to hear from someone else (༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ)
this is my first time listening to this i read this comment and was like "oh it's probably not THATTT bad" MY BROTHER IS RIGHT NEXT TO ME I CANNOT BE CRYING AT THIS VOLUME
I really struggle with both dysphoria and dysmorphia, to the point where I have to shower in the dark so I can't see my own body. The lyrics, "I will wash your hair at night, and dry it off with care. I will see your body bare, and I will still live here." Never fail to make me sob uncontrollably. I really hope one day I'll meet the person who could say that about me. Sorry to be all sappy, but it means a lot to me. update: in September i began to date my best friend and I've never felt more loved and respected. ive met the person who'll say this with their heart.
i am so touch starved and i want this so much- DUDE WHEN SHE SANG "ALL I'VE EVER WANTED, ALL I WANT IS ALWAYS YOU" GOT ME SOBBING "I'LL BE BRAVE" NO I WON'T I'M CRYING IN THE CLUB RN AAAAAAAAAAAAA
this song feels like a mother caring after her child. caring for them, putting up a brave face and assuring them, and spending sleepless nights worrying for them when the child is sick. pure unconditional love. i know that as a youngest child, i might outlive my mother, hell, i'd probably outlive my whole family. i'd hate for that to happen, but if it didn't then my older siblings and parents would feel the pain instead, and i'd also hate that. but when the inevitable dreaded day comes where i'd lose my mother, this song would be the closest thing to a mother's embrace that i can have.
that's beautiful, please cherish your mother while she is still here and don't fret on the day she won't. I wish you the best and the best for your family, stay safe !!
I hate to think about the people I love dying, and this song will absolutely make me sob like a baby when that day comes. I see this as a mother singing to her kids aswell, I can't see the romantic side as strongly tbh, and it's such a beautiful song 😭
This song reminds me of my dad and his mother who's dying. He's spent a whole month at her house taking care of her. He's called to tell me that she's close to the end but today she told him how much she loves him while holding his hand as tight as she can. They've both been through so much, it brings me to tears thinking about this song and the two of them.
Ow,this reminds me of my father and my grandma. Sadly she died 15 years before my birth,but my dad sometimes told me how difficult it was. Now we're taking care of my maternal granparents,they're still alive but they still move,while my paternal grandma couldn't move at all,she could only move her eyes,she was paralyzed,and she was really young when she got sick and died (if my dad got sick and died at the same age right now my dad would not still be here). Because of this,my dad tells me and my mom that,about my granparents/mom's parents we should start to worry when they'll stop getting out of the bed.
I want someone to say this to me, but this is also a comfort song to myself. I want to be able to do these things to myself. I want someone to dedicate this to me. But I comfort myself with this song.
My best friend’s name is Willow, and they go by Will. They introduced me to Mitski! Every time my friend says “I will *insert thing here*”, I make the same corny joke about their name. That’s why this song makes me think of my best friend.
i imagine this as me taking care of my baby sister who was born yesterday so she doesnt have to suffer the way i did growing up because my mom didnt raise me and give me the support i needed growing up
This reminds me of my mom helping me for the past 3-4 years of my anxiety while I cried to sleep and she layer there with me taking me to get help giving me the medicine I need giving up her time to care for me and make sure I’m happy
thinking about my nephew so much when i listen to this song. he means a lot to me as much as i am to him. im not sure if his future would be great since hes dealing with speech delay and an unstable household. i would take care of him if it wasnt for my age
i dedicate this song to my girlfriend. who i know needs it the most. she's the most kind person i know and she's so amazing. yet, she struggles with her mental health and she doesn't take care of herself. you know she doesn't do the things that you should do everyday like, showering, brushing your teeth, etc. and i want her to know that i will take good care of her and i will wash her hair at night and dry it off with care. and i want her to hold my hand and for her to seal all her quiet nights up because i will handle all of it. i just want her to be happy and loved. and this song just really expresses that.
we have broken up since this comment was posted. yet, my feelings toward her have not changed. and they never will. i still want to do all these things for her. she truly is an amazing person.
even though things have ended, I’d still do anything for him, I just know if he were to come back suddenly I’d immediately run back into his arms. I’ve always tried so hard to show him how much I cared, doing anything I possibly could, but I really I was the one who needed the affection more than anything..
It was probably my fav song at her Oakland concert! I was grateful that my 17 years old daughter needed me to take her there!❤❤❤ Ps: I also love that Mitski is a fellow vegan, just like we are!!
I'm gonna sing this to my girlfriend on her bday next tuesday this song means A LOT to her and it does to me too. Hopefully I don't mess it up and hopefully she likes it :) shes all i ever wanted.
i just wanted to listen to some music at the background while having my sketching practice session. goddd. when this came up i just started tearing up uncontrollably. what a song D':
my very close internet friend is now in serious condition. he is disgusted with himself and has a lot of mental trauma, mistrust of people. almost every day I try to somehow help him, support him, just be there at least. honestly, it’s very painful to watch how he devalues himself. how surprised he is when I’m not angry or disappointed for him because he’s jealous of me or mad at me (he is angry because one of his defensive reactions). when I try to help him with his feelings. It's even cute in its own way. i don't associate this song with anything sad. was previously associated. but now I see it like us. i always wanted to be near him, lay his head on my knees, gently combing his hair and calm him down. i don't even know why. i'm happy when i'm with him
For anyone who might need this pov, I related it to my relashionship with myself. I was/am/will be the one that saw and gone through it all with this body that I live in from the moment I was born to the moment that I die. It feels out of order, but is my mess and is safer than anyone or anywhere else.
Well. I just never got any love from my parents. I don't have many friends and I don't get support very often. The lyrics in this song are something I'd love to hear from a loved one, but I'm afraid of him never going to be.
I had an overdose around 2-3 years ago and this song reminds me of how my mother showered me with cold water and drove me to the hospital. The second time I attempted I remember laying in the hospital bed while she was squeezing my hand begging me not to leave her. She’s scared when I sleep in my own room and she puts on a front in the morning. I feel so guilty and sorry. I love her.
Thinking about my close online friend now. They were always really self-destructive and suicidal. They always thought I'd be upset at them for venting or just being open. I only ever showed them the love that they needed that most people wouldn't give them. We'd talk every day for a few hours until one day we lost communication entirely because of their mom, who essentially isolated them from everyone she could for a while. For the longest time I thought they'd off themself because of how bad their mental health was at the time. About a year later we ended up reconnecting over phone numbers because their mom was apparently slightly more lenient. This didn't even end up being very often and eventually slowed down to once every so often. Even then their mental health wasn't great. I haven't seen them since October 2023 and I genuinely hope they're okay. Wish I found this song back then honestly, it reminds me of them. I miss ya, little buddy.
This song reminds me of my mom:I think she was neglected by her parents when she was a child,they always treated her like shit. First of all,my granparents had her only because my aunt wanted a little sister,but sadly they always compared her to my aunt etc...they never supported her neither when she was in school and when she had to move with my dad when she got married to him. In fact,when she met my dad,my life changed for the better,she get along well with my aunt (my dad's big sis),they're like besties etc...even they argue a lot. My granparents gave to my mom a home and I think if my mom could met my grandma (she died 3 years before my mom and dad met) they would get along. Right now my mom has a terrible relationship with her side of the family,but they're still in the picture sadly,and honestly I dislike this of her. Actually there's some of her relatives who are/were good to her,but they almost all died so...yeah. My uncle (the husband of my mom's sis) is a b*tch,yeah,but I think jt was clever for him to let go his family,while my mom doesn't. My dad too,he's not a bitch but he doesn't talk with his family,some of his relatives treated him like shit honestly,but his life was better than my mom I think. Talking about me,because my dad's parents died before my birth,while my both alive mom's parents but they are bitches or I can't communicate with them...I felt only a little attachment to them,I was closer to my grandpa,but my grandma...no. I wish to become,in the future,the grandma I never felt to have. Where I live I feel like everyone has a good relationship with their grandparents while I don't. Mine is...I feel like it doesn't exist.
my life is in shambles right now. my mom's diagnosed with cancer and my abuser is living their best life. but i want someone to sing this song to me, i wanna feel loved. i wanna forget my pains
for what it's worth, I'm here. you don't know me and i don't know you but I'll always be here, if you need a friend or just support i am willing to offer it
Your abuser isnt actually happy, if that makes you feel better. Someone abusive cannot form healthy emotional bonds with anyone else. Humans are a social creature that needs healthy emotional bonds in order to be truly happy. Your abuser is lonely and unhappy, as are all abusers by default. Sorry your mom has cancer
I will stop loving you i guess all i want to feel is to love someone because i just need someone to love and think of them while listening mitski im so gay i hate myself sometimes
This song reminds me of my girlfriend, well, ex Girlfriend? we can't be together because of her mother, alot of things are Because of her mother. she doesn't have the best Relationship with her, and it affects her mentally alot, we loose contact all the time because of her mom and it hurts knowing her mom hates me, there are many reasons she doesn't like me, maybe it's the fact that we're in a lesbian Relationship, maybe it's the fact that we're online and I'm just a 'stranger' even though she won't even try to talk to me... This song reminds me of her, Because I want her to stay with me, I want to hold her hand, I want to care for her because they deserve so much more, I want to love them with my full heart, it's hard, it's really hard, but I'm not giving up on them, I'll never give up on you my love, forever yours❤️
the world can really be cruel sometimes but hey I'm sure your future is bright, who knows? perhaps you two will someday be together and get the happy ending you both deserve, stay safe and well!! ❤
Así me siento con cierta personita. Sé que es estadísticamente imposible/difícil, pero me gustaría pasar toda mi vida junto a esa persona, hasta viejitos y arrugados, y que mi tumba esté junto a la suya cuando nos toque.
This song is so me fr (my depiction of this song is that my mom can’t depend on anyone so she puts her stress on me but still acts “brave” and I feel like a can’t mess up anything or else I’ll ruin my moms life) 😂😂😂
