mitski reacting to an entire festival singing washing machine heart for her

[whoismitski-deactivated20190304]

this is the first song i ever wrote. i started writing songs after high school which is late compared to my band friends, i was living in Turkey it was morning and i was still fucking drunk, idk why but i sat at the keyboard and started writing this, and by the time it was done my heart was pounding like i just saw the rest of my life. i was fucking doomed. anyway, happy monday, fam. kill this week.

last night like 4am I still couldn’t sleep so I wrote a song while tired as death. will probably take this down tomorrow when better judgement sets in.

i’m not even a gigantic mitski fan but ppl treat her so terribly literally just saw a video of her performing and she’s in the ground during a quiet part of the song like doing performance art and the dumb ass crowd (or atleast a good chunk of the people there) are saying shit like “not mitski dying🤪” “mitski GET up this ISNT YOU!” “mommy wake up 🥺” over and over and it’s just so. disgusting and weird like i hate that she got turned into a “meme” celebrity especially bc of her newest album being about how she hates feeling burnt out by the media / her fans / being turned into some kind of character rather than a regular person im not even touching the cell phone incident thing bc that’s a whole convo of its own but i feel like a lot of you just don’t know how to interact with others and also have trouble with immediately getting parasocial with every public figure u see

can't wait for mitski's new album "god you people are so fucking annoying" that's just forty-three minutes of her reading out replies to her twitter thread and making fun of how absurdly rocks-in-your-brain stupid they are

lmao

[azraqed]

every time mitski says [my god i’m so lonely] [you’re growing tired of me you love me so hard and i still can’t sleep] [i’ve been big and small and big and small and big and small again and still nobody wants me] [i don’t want your pity i just want somebody near me] [so please hurry leave me i can’t breathe please don’t say you love me] [and i hope you leave right before the sun comes up so i can watch it alone] [and i know no one will save me]

“‘Laurel Hell’ is a term from the Southern Appalachians in the U.S., where laurel bushes basically grow in these dense thickets, and they grow really wide,” Mitski also explained in an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1. “And, I mean, I’ve never experienced it myself, but when you get stuck in these thickets, you can’t get out. Or so the story goes. And so there are a lot of Laurel Hells in America, in the South, where they’re named after the people who died within them because they were stuck. And, so the thing is, laurel flowers are so pretty. They just burst into these explosions of just beauty. And, I just, I liked the notion of being stuck inside this explosion of flowers and perhaps even dying within one of them.” (x)

since we r doing a discussion circle for That’s Our Lamp. I do want to say that while I agree and see where all the other takes are coming from I also want to believe that it’s a song about love still present somewhere… mitski spends so much time in this album in the dark and That’s Our Lamp takes place during a stretch of that… running up and down the street below the apartment you share with your lover who you’ve had a rom-com-esque fight with… and I love it as a closer because at the end of it all there’s someone up in that room waiting for you. There’s lamplight to step into. A word of possibilities BC love is large and tremendous and light and dark. Or something like that.

it's literally such a nostalgic song tbh? sometimes you run from overwhelming things to get some distance and it's scary at first but then you look back to the window and think "oh. i miss that. that's where you loved me"
