this is- in my mind without a doubt- the best Mitski song. I love the way it creates these vast, colorful images with its descriptive language. the cool, calculating shadows of his room; the hot, pink embarrassment and shame of the narrator’s self-induced starvation, her vying attempts to somehow factor in to his world; the golden glow of streetlights in the falling snow as the narrator finally accepts separation- accepts herself, and that she was never meant to play that role. “God’s very simple, and love shouldn’t burn.” Breathtaking.
I relate to this whole song man I love him so much but he won’t ever know cus hey “silly me waiting” for something to happen but probably never will :( this song is so me and “I tried to eat like your girlfriend just tea in the night I’d end up too hungry to sleep” his ex/ my bsf is really skinny and she would always drink tea and id do that as well just to end up like her hoping he would like me back :( thank you mitski for making this

Me when she says WHAT IS THAT QUIET OF SNOW IN THE NIGHT? THE DARK RINGS WITH WHITE NOISE AS YOU STAND AND DROWN. MAYBE ITS ALL OF THESE SNOWFLAKES SCREAMING, A CHOIR OF MUTE AS THEY BRACE FOR THE GROUND
WELL, THATS MY RIDE. HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD NIGHT. YOU KNOW, YOU MADE ME HAPPY… HERE, SHAKE MY HAND. YOU MAKE SUCH A GOOD MAN. NEVER ONCE DID YOU KNOW MEEE
Your room was square, I once noticed from there In your bed, as you slept, and I held my breath Everything had its own place And I wondered what space would I take In the order you kept I tried to eat like your girlfriend Just tea in the night, I'd end up too hungry to sleep So lying awake, I would follow the aching inside I would find, it's for you won't be mine I tried my hardest, for I'd never learned God's very simple, and love shouldn't burn And I would've offered you all that you yearned for But I was still waiting for something to earn What is that quiet of snow in the night? The dark rings with white noise As you stand and drown Maybe it's all of these snowflakes, screaming A choir of mute as they brace for the ground Well, that's my ride Hope you had a good night You know you made me happy Here, shake my hand You make such a good man Never once did you know me I tried my hardest, for I'd never learned God's very simple and love doesn't burn And maybe you offered me all that I yearned for But I was still waiting for something to earn Silly me, waiting
@@isla.luvs.skellies personally that song is a little too empty for me. This song, Square, has many layers and notes, enough to make it interesting but still simple, which is why I like it. A horse named cold air has way too many long and high notes for my liking. Maybe if it was really meant to be slow, and fast isn’t its strong suit, then it could’ve put a few more instruments into the mix to make it a little more powerful, similar to that of Bag of bones and Two slow dancers. It doesn’t have to be loud and angry, it just needs a little more t e x t u r e. That’s just my opinion though, there are no terrible mitski songs existing lmao
@@marcus.taylorsversion8448 hi! thank you for responding! it’s when she says ‘lying’ in the ‘lying awake’ lyric?? Like a slight vibration but yes it could be my device.
i think its the audio quality of the device on which the original audio was recorded on. those sounds happen when audio is too loud and i dont think mitski couldve invested in really good quality equipment for her special versions and lives when she was just first starting out.
i’m so sad this got removed on spotify
real
im literally devastated. do you know why it got removed? 🥺
Me too…wasted so much time looking for it
@@creeperkittenz6385 something about the publisher, or the studio i believe.
i thought i imagined this version when it got removed i was so confused 😭😭
its been almost 2 years since it was taken off spotify and i am still bringing up how upset i am
Me too I tell my friends every moment I can about the community's greatest loss
i used to cry so hard to this version when i was going through it lmao i hope we get it back on spotify some day
silly me, waiting
this song gives me chills every time it's one of her best songs and the piano just does something to the track the other version doesnt

SO TRUEE it's a shame it doesn't get as many listens tho

@@soichiiro YAAAAS
I agree! Square is truly magical and my second favorite in Retired From Sad! (Shame being the first.)
@@JacquesBlacquesisn’t Shame one of her least streamed songs? Its my absolute favorite and I feel like the whole album gets overlooked accept GBMDSH
Thank you for uploading this version. I remember I had a dream with my deceased brother , he was singing this song to me before I woke up
Piano makes this song more connectable to my hyperfixations :3 especially the characters i connected to it
WHY IS THIS NOT ON SPOTIFY ANYMORE AAAHH WHYYYY
she revised lush and retired from sad, changing the track listing and removing the bonus tracks. i am so heartbroken why would she do this to me

there really is nothing like the quiet winter brings
WELL, THATS MY RIDE. HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD NIGHT. YOU KNOW, YOU MADE ME HAPPY…
HERE, SHAKE MY HAND. YOU MAKE SUCH A GOOD MAN. NEVER ONCE DID YOU KNOW MEEE
No puedo vivir sabiendo que sacaron esta versión de la canción en spotify
Your room was square, I once noticed from there
In your bed, as you slept, and I held my breath
Everything had its own place
And I wondered what space would I take
In the order you kept
I tried to eat like your girlfriend
Just tea in the night, I'd end up too hungry to sleep
So lying awake, I would follow the aching inside
I would find, it's for you won't be mine
I tried my hardest, for I'd never learned
God's very simple, and love shouldn't burn
And I would've offered you all that you yearned for
But I was still waiting for something to earn
What is that quiet of snow in the night?
The dark rings with white noise
As you stand and drown
Maybe it's all of these snowflakes, screaming
A choir of mute as they brace for the ground
Well, that's my ride
Hope you had a good night
You know you made me happy
Here, shake my hand
You make such a good man
Never once did you know me
I tried my hardest, for I'd never learned
God's very simple and love doesn't burn
And maybe you offered me all that I yearned for
But I was still waiting for something to earn
Silly me, waiting
i miss it so dearly
real💔
yeah im not gonna get over the fact this was taken off most music streaming services
I would never understand why this get removed from Spotify
she revised thr lush and retired from sad tracklists on streaming services and somehow that made her delete the bonus tracks i'm so mad i need answers
thank you
It reminds me of a horse named cold air!
so many ppl hate that song and i just dont understand why??😓

thanks for postin
Taken off of Apple Music 😢
and spotify
@@romanrios6011 i preferred this version!! mad they took it off spotify
Y they do this smh
sadly yes,,, mitski revised the track listing and removed the rfsncib bonus tracks on streaming services
@@marcus.taylorsversion8448 she also removed some music videos didnt she?
I literally still can't believe she took this off streaming. The original is completely incomparable to this version, so toned down
can someone please tell me if the sound at 1:05 is how it is supposed to be?? it’s making me crazy because i can’t remember
i don't hear anything unusual, maybe your device is glitching?
@@marcus.taylorsversion8448 hi! thank you for responding! it’s when she says ‘lying’ in the ‘lying awake’ lyric?? Like a slight vibration but yes it could be my device.
@@cocothebeaniebaby i don't feel a vibration, maybe we're using different devices
@@cocothebeaniebaby its not your device-theres like an auditory glitch in the word “LYing”
