Lyrics:
Happy came to visit me, he bought cookies on the way
I poured him tea and he told me it'll all be okay
Well I told him I'd do anything to have him stay with me
So he laid me down, and I felt Happy come inside of me
He laid me down, and I felt happy
Oh if you're going, take the train
So I can hear it rumble, one last rumble
And when you go, take this heart
I'll make no more use of it when there's no more you
I was in the bathroom, I didn't hear him leave
I locked the door behind him and I turned around to see
All the cookie wrappers and the empty cups of tea
Well I sighed and mumbled to myself again, I have to clean
I sighed and mumbled to myself
If you're going, take the train
So I can hear it rumble, one last rumble
And when you go, take this heart
I'll make no more use of it when there's no more you
And if you're going, take the moon
Then maybe I will see you, in the night I'll see you
And when you go, take this heart
I'll make no more use of it when there's no more you

"whew, for a second there I thought you were cheating on me"
Nevermind thats exactly what i thought xd
Right? Like cool, your not cheating on me but wtf? Don't kill for jewelry!
omg djalslak
By it was fuck up.
Technically, he did cheat, since he kissed his victims before killing them.
I just thought of something. at 1:54 when we see the smoke in the room, my first thought was that it was incense and that she was trying to clear the negative energy in the room. This is an Asian tradition. However, when it zooms out, it shows that it's a cigarette. This is an Americanized, self-destructive way to cope that pollutes the room instead of fixing anything. maybe I'm reading too much into it but I'm asian american like mitski and I haven't seen anyone else say this yet
Damn that’s such a cool thing to think about, wish it the comment gets for looks
Makes sense, but China and Japan smoke cigarettes much more than Americans
this is actually a great comment, thanks for sharing
@@TheRobodog They do now, but it was originally a Euro / American thing that was popularised in East Asia, and now more people smoke in East Asia because everyone wanted to act American soooo bad. (Tobacco was originally, and still is, a sacred ceremonial herb used by the indigenous cultures of North America, which was mis-appropriated by colonialist upper-class Europeans for recreational purposes, and then pumped so full of toxic chemicals that made them extremely addictive and carcinogenic, and then popularised all over the world through imperialism and capitalism.)
my energy is much more positive after a cig than some dumbass incense
“He bought cookies on the way,” and then, later, as seen in the red handbag: “for my blue eyed cookie.” 🤔
And the dead girl at the end was the cookie wrapper
@@leonisesanchez5552 WAIT WAIT HOLLUP I DIDNT REALIZE THAT
@@leonisesanchez5552 maybe it's like, he brought her the cookies, but he also ate the cookies? It's interesting
Alot of her songs are about how the men she’s encountered want a white looking woman and how she’ll never fit their standard so thats why
1:50 yeah, cookies referring to the mistresses, the cookie wrappers being clothes/underwater (y'know),
and cups of tea being wine glasses/bottles
this song represents so may poc women who feel inadequate with their non-eurocentric features. but all of yall are gorgeous, you don't need blonde hair or blue eyes to feel pretty.
Thank you . . . **cry**
I think Asian women are really pretty like she’s legal allowed to kill me that’s how pretty she is to me
“poc women” is person of color women... say “women of color” next time for us pls
I needed this bc being my Half Hispanic half African American self I feel so ugly in this country I call home
@@amelia-nz1tt This not only applies to women, though. European features in men are also seen as more desirable than features from other ethnicities.
Plot. Twist. Of. The. Year.
i saw it coming regular non serial killer people don't have just random locks of girls hair lying around
IKR I DID'NT SEE IT COMING!!!
But you said "your" hair, and that's obviously not his
My Gad... :V!
i thought it was a bit much for so much hair IT Was a bit weird but didn't see the end coming
she did that
Why?
SHE REALLY DID IM SNATCHED
harold coutts is not her, is Lisa Maley
I started to shit pearls after watching this...
harold coutts 666 likes 😱😱
This was cleverly made, the twist in the end was already told when you see the blood stain at the woman’s wrist with all her pearls as she was driving.
oh bro i didn’t notice that until now. this video is so well made it’s like a goldmine of little bits.
WHEN DID I COMMENT THIS LMAO i swear i do NOT remember saying this
Wait does that mean she survives?
@@dontdodrugskiddos3892 i'm pretty sure she killed the husband and escaped :))
@@miaherrin8067 good for her (:
I could talk for hours and hours just about this song and this video and how the line "all the cookie wrappers and the empty cups of tea, well I sighed and mumbled to myself again, I have to clean" is so personal to me
i see you everywhere
@@SpaceGoop69 IF U PAY MORE ATTENTION TO SONGS LIKE STRABERRY BLONE IM SURE U WILL SEE LOL
Can you explain what that lyrics mean?
just teared up to that part looking at the empty wine bottles in my kitchen while playing this, sigh
its like, you're not just physically cleaning up a mess, you feel like you have to cleanse yourself
I love it when she reads "for my blue eyed cookie" and then looks at her reflection to make sure that her eyes aren't blue. This lady is a great actress!!!!
she wasn't looking to make sure her eyes weren't blue. she was looking because she was comparing herself to his likely white, blue-eyed lovers, from who he'd taken the purse
A. L. true but like, I think my interpretation is more fun, or funnier, pick ur poison
haha ok. More fun then :-P
they both work XD
It's just her realizing that there is another girl in the mix. Don't add dumb shit to this music video. It's just a guy that cheats. No additional commentary on white men, euro features, or anti-whiteness. Just cheaters.
this needs to be turned into a movie.
normandyangel LGs
normandyangel hell yeah.
normandyangel
damn straight it needs to be a movie
Damn straight!
it's kinda what happend in Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
When she reads "for my blue-eyed cookie" and then looks into her own eyes in the mirror afjskvbskdjbvkmasterpiece
Hey, they use they/them pronouns. Just wanted to point that out :)
this song is so under appreciated. so many people love to pretend like mitski doesn’t write about race, but she very clearly does, and this is one of the prime examples. it bothers me that so many white people
in mitski comment sections get pressed when women of color express their relation to this song, when it so clearly is about race.
that, race ☝️and imperialism and colonialism! been years since this song and music video/film premiered and white people still mad because it's the reality and history
it also bothers me that so many white people
@@Bitholeous PLSSSS 💀
@@bmo2811 white people, smh 😔
@@Bitholeous i hate when white people
That was a fucking incredible music video
ANKUR
The music too
SCREAM IT LOUDER
no joke this is one of Mitski’s best video clips
IT IS
I love the music, but I also love the actress here, too. She has no lines and her movements are subtle, but you can always see the expression in her face. This was a really thought-out music video. I can't wait for more!
*they and i agree, so incredibly well thought out & executed!!
Thats mitsko
Shes the actress
i saw in another comment the actor that plays the wife has they/them pronouns also the actor is not mitski lol
@@nenton_old oh lol i looked at the imbd their called jin maley
Really wish there were a way to disable the suggested videos popping up. Her expression at the end is just so intense, just to get covered up.
RIGHT
If you watch it on a tv I think it doesn’t get covered up
Press the comma while paused to go back a frame.
i think you can turn off annotations
@@urbestcowboy That doesn't disable suggestion videos. I have to use video download helper to download it and then watch it with vlc or something.
a small detail i love about this mv is that when the wife trips at 0:39 the husband gives her a disapproving look, almost out of disgust at how clumsy and 'messy' his wife is, yet at 3:23 when the wife trips again on the stairs, this arguably saved her life as she then was able to kill her husband and get away.
when you think he cheating BUT ITS WORSE
Meh it’s actually better if u really get the concept 😂
I haven’t watched the whole video hOw dOeS iT gEt wOrsE¿
Oh shi-
jurnee ω ikr? i thought he was with another woman but it turns out hes just kidnapping people and murdering them in his basement, thank fuck
Well u kinda spoiled the whole experience for me
it's like a black mirror episode wrapped up in 4 minutes
This video is nothing like a black mirror episode. It's actually good
Old black mirror was good. But still it's not like black mirror, the only thing they have in commom is that both have plot twists
Keith Turner it has a black mirror vibe to it
speedrun
LOLL HIT THE HAMMER ON THE ~~girl~~ HEAD
as an asian american woman myself, i have to say this video nailed the message about race and beauty... especially at 1:52 when you see the white woman's profile and then the asian woman's and you can feel the inadequacy in how alien you seem to look in a white society. and of course this setup doesn't end well for the white women either. even if they look ideal at first because they have the whiteness you'll never have, they're trapped in the same system and even they will never be enough to satisfy men's expectations
So well-said.
most men who are connected to reality will prefer a toltec queen although i am aware and respect the japanese veneration for the white ivory look..but I would happier with a woman who was more connected their meso - american roots....white society is a fading state of mind
Whites and Asians are pretty... but when they mix with Latinas is like "OMG ITS AN ANGEL"... maybe I think so cause I'm also latino but I find race mix so amazingly beautiful
@@EsDoncor ..true but raza and asian people come from cultures so much older ,sophisticated and culturally adept than europeans that we should need to recognize these existing stereotypes or feel bound by them...multi culturalism is beautiful and so are people from different cultures finding love but at the same time we shouldnt blindly follow the stereotypes by a group of people who only just started bathing over 100 years ago ,they should be the last to be trying to create stereotypes of what is beautiful and acceptable
@@feereel As a man totally unconnected to reality (white), I can say the discussion is merely pecking order nonsense at root. Attractive women come from every "background." The issue (as Half Bee put it) is a warped system, where women are regarded as consumables - and men as well, I might add. This sort of system seems to go on in most of the world
hilarious how non-asian people in the comments are getting so sensitive and offended by asian women relating another asian woman's song to their experience. u can't just divorce the music from mitski herself, so just accept that her words mean something to asian people and get over it
SAY 👏 IT 👏 LOUDER 👏
It’s about woc
@@awoods7010 the actor is not even a woc,,, they identify as non-binary. and if it were abt woc, I think mitisk would cast a woc
@Meghana Naidu So one,I don’t think Mitski is non-binary she might be two,even if she is non-binary just because someone’s non-binary doesn’t mean you have to address them with they/them pronouns,gender DOESNT equal pronouns a non-binary person can use whatever pronouns they are comfortable with. When addressing someone if you don’t know their pronouns then yes it’s okay to call them "they"
@@ihk15 its the actor not mitski
I was wondering why the blond girl lost so much hair and then...😱
YEAH IK I WAS LIKE "why is so much of her hair falling out???!??"
I genuinely thought it was just a lock of hair as a present, like people used to give.
I thought it was because the girls he was seeing wore wigs lol
@@shockingheaven wait that does make a lot of sense, and the music video seems to take place in an older time period
i still dont get it LMAO can someone explain
Amongst many other things, i also interpret this one thing. Her being asian-american kinda protected her from not being killed by the killer, until she saw him at least. Imagine if she never found out. Her not fitting into the beauty norm, so ugly in the eyes of the killer, protected her. I think this puts the whole song into a sort of ironic light, because thats how she got happy in the first place... from being quote on quote ugly. I just cant describe how much i love mitski and her music.
So why he would marry to an asian woman? No, I think he really is a psycho but he is a weirdo who love his woman and instead of buying expensive thing, he kills woman to her
@@ferencssalvoski3721 If he loved her he would not try to kill her in the end. In the eyes of that white man the asian wife viewed herself as ugly, inferior. The white man had his wife as a cover up as she would not leave, since she viewed herself as inferior and thought she would be unable to find another love. He married her for A. Cover up his murders B. Have a reason to unsuspiciously store all the jewelry.
i don't think he found her ugly necessarily. he just used her as a cover up because he thought she was either too insecure to leave, she didn't have the funds to leave, or she didn't have family or friends to run off to in that country if she were an immigrant. my filipino grandmother married my white american soldier grandfather post-WW2, and she's confided in me with the extreme loneliness she felt coming to this country when she was a 19 year old without any family or friends close by. because she didn't have any agency, it made her not want to leave even though she was unhappy (not due to abuse or even racism from my grandfather, but because she was too young when she got married and didn't know what she wanted). i can assume that was probably a common experience.
She was searching for happiness in an opressive environment, like a lot of women, we struggle to fit in something we should be aspiring to be free of...
This reminds me of how Ted Bundy only killed women with long brown hair, and apparently someone he was planning to kill got a haircut that week so he let her out of the car..
once you notice mitski breathing in in her songs you can't unnotice
please don't remind me I just forgot about that
i don’t mind much. it helps me learn where i should breathe when i sing her songs
I personally like it
It gives a "natural" vibe to the song. Authentic and maybe, in some cases, it expresses more "despair" as in "look how messy I am, I'm all over the place" like in humpty at the part with "I broke what you gave me * quick big breath * but you kept giving more"
why did you have to ruin it..
all im saying is this should be made into a full length film
Preferably with a better ending, though! He can't get away with this shit!!! :O
@@crystalidentity she kills him at the end tho
@@emaabreu1557 i think the axe landed on his back
@@sussybacka2323it probably would’ve still killed him if he just sat there bleeding to death tbh

why do people in the comments get so bitchy when woc interpret this mv in a specific way
Becuase racial comments make people upset, we like to just ignore that and live at peace. It was Morgan Freeman that said, in response to "How do we stop racism"
"We stop talking about race"
Not liking for a woman for her race is just as trivial as not liking her for not having eyes that you like or hair that's a fun texture or a culture you are interested in. When we stop alienating these people we van accept them for them. Imagine alienating people for having blond hair, and blonds screaming about how horrible that they arent being accepted, if we stop making it this huge deal I think people will find that there are always "exceptions to the rule". There will always be people interested in one another for whatever reason. Makes me sad that when we reflect on these issues people get aggressive, it's like picking at an open sore. Just let the sucker heal already.
@@skumpkin5191 and he was tf wrong. back pedaled and everything because trash take is trash.
@@skumpkin5191 bruh not less than 100 years ago white people made so many laws to set back and stop BIPOC from progressing as people. White Homeowners were ALLOWED to sell BIPOC the most trash parts of the land they owned and sell white people the best places. People of color couldn’t work certain jobs and they were turned away bc of their race. All because they were people of color. We can talk about race whenever we want bc our skin has been used against us since long ago.

my favorite part of this video is how the strands of hair are always a little too large to be just pulled out accidentally, it seems like they were cut on purpose. after watching this for the second time you realize why.
And why exactly?

My daughter played this for me 2 years ago, took her to Mitski concert in Detroit. I'm a fan for life. Mitski is a genius. Period.
holy shit...
Yup.:)
was literally just about to comment that lol
yes my sentiments exactly.
I started to shit pearls after watching this...
Your mum say the same when you're born.
I KNEW that was a huge chunk of hair to just fall out for her to find.
This video is soooo good!!! It takes the trope of "feminine person tripping when running" and actually managed to set up that like??? The main person had a habit of tripping and falling??? Which is such a small thing but like!?!?!?!?!?? Characterization?????!?!?!?!? Amazing!!!!!!!

I am your 666th comments
I made a small connection?? the embroidery on the purse says "for my blue eyed cookie" and the lyrics go "I turned around to see, all the cookie wrappers..." the bodies of the girls he killed?
actually, and sorry to sound like a smart ass, both the songs lyrics and the video itself are metaphors for all the broken hearts and relationships that racial and sexsit expectation bring
"cookie wrappers" can be seen as all the broken hearts left behind by the very high social expectations held on euro women and women in general
the video used this metaphor for women by making the girl in this a "cookie wrapper" as well and her getting murdered in the end is just symbolism for another relationship high expectations killed
@@ginnmann In my humble opinion the cookie wrapper is just the cookie wrapper from the cookies he brought
"Happy came to visit me, he bought cookies on the way
I poured him tea and he told me it'll all be okay"
and
"I was in the bathroom, I didn't hear him leave
I locked the door behind him and I turned around to see
All the cookie wrappers and the empty cups of tea
Well I sighed and mumbled to myself again, I have to clean
I sighed and mumbled to myself"
so he left and she must to the cleanning of those things he brought to make her feel everything is okay while he's out in the night cheating/killing
@@yogurt7903 she could have actually, that's a cool interpretation
@@ginnmann cookies wrappers is a metaphor for the consequences of a relationship where one person values the other and the other is using them for their own satisfaction. The mess one person leaves behind for the other to clean up.

"for my blue eyed cookie" and she looks at herself with deep brown eyes. OUCH. That fucking hurt lol
ikr?? one of the saddest things ive seen in a while
no matter how many times I've seen this, the ending always makes my breath catch in my throat. the constant beat along with the peaceful melody of the singers voice just always gets to me.
walking into this thinking it was a mediocre music video when it's actually a fucking masterpiece.
mitski? mediocre? i dont think 😌
well they probably said bc the word happy lol
When she sings rumble is just so angelic my soul shakes a lil
oh my god yes
god this video is SO good so cinematic so many moments are incredible... when she trips and falls and he doesn't get up or try to help her just looks disappointed because a wife is a porcelain object to him like a doll. and when she finds the "blue eyed" inscription on the purse and looks up at herself for a moment which shows us her grief and disbelief and also the obvious that her eyes are black AND THE TWIST that he's KILLING THEM... god
Wait in the end did the girl with the black hair kill the man or did the man kill the girl?
the parallels between the shattered glass and the shattered tea cup! and the tripping bc of something very feminine and inconvient! the tripping with tea and after she sees the body

Wow the video is wow
Maybe this allegory is trying to ambiguously explore the mentality of a person who would cheat: what their motivations are. It's not love. His adultery is painted as a killing act: a desire to control, and penultimately hurt these women, and eventually Mitski (when she finally confronts the truth of his motivations i.e. not because she wasn't beautiful or worthy of love; but because he's a killer.
) His desire to be devious, or feel devious in love manifests a clear line between good and evil in the narrative, when in reality; it's much harder for people in love to sever themselves from harmful and subtly abusive partners. What an empowering reminder.
Please just let WOC talk about their experiences, this song is clearly about race and they almost never get a chance to talk about these things. You guys are beautiful, you don’t need blond hair and blue eyes to be pretty. I’m so sorry.

Nah cuz as a mixed japanese chick this song hits so hard for me. Growing up especially in my younger years I compared myself to my white peers and felt as if I looked different in a negative light. Soon enough though my features became more appreciated and I've learned to love myself. What melts my heart is that my boyfriend loves the shape of my nose. I've always hated it, it holds a high-nose bridge and looks like a beak, yet he says it's one of his favourite features about me.
So far i've noticed Citizen Kane, In The Mood For Love and Vertigo references. Can someone help me identify other movie references ? This video is so esthetically pleasing
It's mostly Douglas Sirk - All That Heaven Allows or Magnificent Obsession but there's a definite Wong Kar Wai vibe too. Or postmodern films that play with Sirk's style like Todd Haynes's Far From Heaven. The end is very Hitchcock though definitely - I'd say more Psycho than Vertigo.
+Mk Mnn Hitchock's references are multiple I guess. I also thought about Tippi Hedren outfit in The Bird
+Mathilde
ha, I thought the "in the mood for love/2046" similarity was in my mind.
oh... and of course that looks a lot like patrick bateman going american psycho at the end
+Mathilde lust/caution too with the jewelry and gifts and in the realm of the senses with the assault
+Derek Holmes oh yes ofc ! american psycho :$
You are the reigning queen of music at the moment Mitski. Much love.
very well quoted , j apprecie entierement
holy fucking shit. amazing portrayal of how men silence women and slowly inject inferiority into their bloodstream. so dark and gritty, still absolutely gorgeous. thank you mitski
Asian women and their impulsed, cultural fetish for white American, men.
i love how perfectly it loops and you can see the blood on her braclete god mitski is amazing
wow that took an unexpected turn.
can't wait for the album to drop.
Holy fucking shit! What a fucking video for what a fucking song!
It's got all the trappings of a great Park Chan Wok movie+Mitski.
1:28 I love this dress
Same
i love how the start is actually the end and the end is the start to the first end so bassicly the end is before the start wich is just a great detail
i did not see that ending! great video and song
Yes, the same here! Very good clip for a very good song! highclouds.org/mitski-happy-video/
I kinda expected it when she found that much hair in the drawer. I mean unless he was giving her a hair cut that was LOT of hair to be saving. But I watch a lot of horror films.
I was wondering why he was leaving a lot of hair, but it makes sense at the end. Trophy locks.
at that time it was quite common for lovers to exchange locks of hair.. so you can imagine how shocked I am to see it was not like that at all haha
@@FuwaMoigake I know they did back in the Victorian era, but did they still do it in the 1940s too? (I thought they were more likely to keep a black and white photo in their wallet. But maybe they might've done both?)
Well that escalated quickly.
The music video is awesome, but the can we talk about how the song itself? Incredible.
The whole time I was wondering why the fuck this girl was losing whole-ass chunks of hair like she had alopecia or something 😂 🤦🏻♀️😳Then I got to the basement scene and boy oh boy did I get answers. Jesus Christ! Lol.
This is the one of the most incredibly thought provoking music videos I’ve seen in so long. I feel like music videos used to be about so much more than people just dancing around naked or walking on the beach or in big, empty mansions with literally no connection to the actual song they’re singing. Having the ability to put out a visual interpretation of a song to express its meaning and purpose through compelling storytelling and sometimes really poignant choreography that you can tell had so much effort put Into it and thought behind it is such an incredible opportunity that I feel like not enough artists take advantage of. There are so many songs that never would have been as popular or meaningful as they eventually became if they didn’t have an accompanying music video. It can only help. And it doesn’t need to be this insane mini film with a whole storyline and hidden Easter eggs to resonate with people. There’s nothing wrong with just dancing; Beyoncé has music videos that are mainly about the choreography without a complex story or dramatization but she really goes to great lengths to come up with choreography, wardrobe, locations, settings,extras, and backup dancers that stay true to the song and the album. For “Black Is King” that was released in tandem with the Lion King premiere, she actually traveled to different parts of Africa in Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa and collaborated with local artists and dancers to highlight different traditions that mean a lot to the people that live there. You can tell her goal was to not appropriate their culture, but to immerse herself and then us as listeners in this beautiful and rich culture that might be a little more foreign to audiences back in the states and around Europe, really all over the world.
That entire project; you could tell by the end of the very first song that the number one priority for her was authenticity and respect for the culture and its people while also shining a light on local artists who worked so hard with her on everything and deserve more attention and recognition than they often get.
Ok. I just realized I’ve written an entire fucking Beyoncé novel in the comment section for a music video that has literally nothing to do with her. I’m so sorry haha. Feel free to reply to this comment with all the “fuck you”s your heart desires. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️😈
Bottom line. I love this fucking video and I love Mitski even more and I’m really excited to see what she does next!😻🙏🏼
This Is my favorite comment on the internet.
This is why you don't smoke.
except for after i've held you
Except for when I’m missing you
At first I was like, "this is exactly what I see when I see American military men married to Asians," but then the ending threw me off completely.
@@elisnovat3955 _also the vast majority of them don't cheat._
What?? How would you know that?? Unless you did mass surveillance on them, lol...
How my asian american ass feels like going to virginia beach
@@elisnovat3955 Literally n o n e of my friends (all of which who have military dads) have a father who didnt cheat 💀
you're still not wrong
I'm like, so many years late, and I've listened to this song on repeat for years without ever bothering with the music video. Then today out of curiosity I searched to see if anybody had done a video essay on Mitski/her music. As I was watching this(as a non-American Asian/Chinese person myself) I was pretty impressed, the sort of content right up my alley - and then the plot twist. I was *genuinely* surprised.
After years of familiarising myself with all sorts of plot twists, tropes, human folly, true crime, real people - you sort of just learn to expect certain outcomes and plot twists in the media you consume. This video is like, 5 years old, and somehow it managed to grab me by the throat and fling me into the wall at full speed with that twist ending, holy shit.
when i go to hell i will find that white man who broke mitskis heart
Get this nostalgia like experiencing Actor/Strange Mercy era St. Vincent again for the first time. Fantastic.
I found this song on a st. vincent radio :D
I can't even put how much I love this song and video into words
" WHEN YOU GO AND TAKE THIS HEART I'LL MAE NO MORE USE OF IT WHEN THERE'S NO MORE YOU" was personal :'(
Criminal that this isnt her most viewed video
can't stop watching // i come back to this vid like 5 times a day
Getting a really big Xiu Xiu vibe from this
Yeah it totally reminds me of Stupid in the Dark
Xiao Xiao?
i didn't knew xiu xiu back then but now that i know them the pulsating percussion, the end and the weird saxophone definitly have a xiu xiu vibe. also, i guess you predicted something haha
@@opaldoesnotrhyme Thanks for the tip - I didn't know them before!

i had always thought this song was about depression and fleeting happiness but after finally watching the video i am just floored :'D
"Oh if you're going, take the train
So I can hear it rumble, one last rumble
And when you go, take this heart
I'll make no more use of it when there's no more you"
holy crap. That video totally messed with my emotions like several times. That's some good art right there. Also the song is great.
MITSKI YOU ARE AMAZING ILY AND THESE VIDEOS ARE WHAT MY 14YE OLD SELF NEEDED THANK YOU FOREVER ILY
And so i became a mitski fan
I love this song so much oml
RIGHT?
that wasn't happy at all :(
This gave me "In the Mood for Love" vibes. Well, except for the end.
can't believe mitski invented happiness just for this song omg
I still believe this is one of the most heartbreaking songs from Mitski
