This song is so underrated and it’s such a shame. The whole production is beautiful. Her vocals in the beginning, the echo of the “just remember”. Goosebumps every time.
Isaias Sanchez She would have won, but the organization of the movie was awful, it was a all around mess the album deserves a Grammy but not the movie I loved the movie yes the choreo was amazing but the Grammys isn’t a A for effort thing, it’s a A for all around perfection not A for 85% perfection
Your High School Sweetheart You kinda made it sound like u don’t like the movie at all. Yes of course the album itself is outstanding, so she should’ve won a Grammy. I love the movie because of the visuals, actors, music, and the choreography. But like you said the and storyline was lacking “organization” so it could’ve been way better. But I mean hey, it was her first full-length movie that she directed so we gotta applaud her 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
In the start of the movie, melanie walks into a room with a load of ghosts dancing. That is literally what would of happened here if those ppl kept on dancing. And when Melanie sneezes, all the ghosts walk towards her, as that door opening is them finally getting to escape. The principals son says “dance until u die” that is a literal representation of what could of happened here. Or, this could of already happened in another dimension where Melanie and her friends didn’t save all those kids. They died and are then stuck in that room. Melanie then goes to the school and the whole thing happens, this time, she saves them and they don’t end up stuck there forever ; in the middle of all that, she sees the past people who got stuck in that room. This is all just a theory, none of it is actually the storyline or intended by Melanie. But I’m so bored in quarantine, I came up with it. Edit- thanks so much for the likes and comments ppl, never gotten this many but tysm 2nd edit- damn I mean 3.5k like tysmmmmm
I can agree with this theory, cause in the film they talk about "having to do this over and over again and being in pain" well. What if they are going through the same thing with different bodies till they break the curse and become free. And those who stay stuck in the school (bradon & kelly) becomes ghost or rebirth into someone new
Oh I thought this song What's about playground equipment😂 Because you can hear the screeching of metal like Swings and sesaws. Giving the double meaning "If you need a break, someone will take her place." just like on a playground, your spot can be easily taken By somebody else. just like a toxic relationship that requires a lot of effort keep that person. If not they'll find someone else that will.
It's about if you take a break, someone will take your place(literally) in the music industry if you take a short break from creating music you'll easily be replaced by someone else who's gonna take your spot
Lyrics♥ I was too young to see the truth In my grandma's lap, I'm drowning in her perfume Too naive to even care 'Bout the words she whispered while she brushed out my hair People gonna say "If you need a break, someone'll take your place" People gonna try To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes (just remember) Don't let them, honey, no, oh Don't let them try (ooh) Don't let them fuck you Baby, just say, "Recess, I'm tired" Sittin' in my room, looking at all I've done Everything I wanted has come to fruition I should be happy, but I can't get out my bed Stressin' 'bout the voices screamin' inside my head People gonna say "If you need a break, someone'll take your place" People gonna try To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes (Just remember) Don't let them, honey, no, oh Don't let them try (ooh) Don't let them fuck you Baby, just say, "Recess, I'm tired" Where is my time?

SHE WASN'T EVEN INVITED. 😩 Melanie did a lot the past year, prepared a full album, released a film for free even including the album in there. Yet, she wasn't invited to the fking Grammys.
4 years, 10 million dollars, 0 grammy awards?! How?!?! This entire work of art Is such an incredible, underrated ABSOLUTELY masterpiece. AND she designed EVERYTHING for the whole project herself! Her outfit in this video has always been my favorite, and this song my favorite off the album. Melanie, you are way past due on getting your flowers for this one… for real 💐💖💕

Best Melanie's Song 🧡 It touched me deeply last year. I had a depression called dysthymia which made me extremely tired but I had to keep going on and solve all my problems and duties, have good grades in the university, work in my internship... None of that waited me to be good. It was hard, but here I am strong again ✊
Melanie's technically OUR BEST FRIEND. She makes us comfortable, she's raw which makes her relatable, she makes us sleepy, she appreciates her little bows. We should call her BEST FRIEND 4EVER, not Queen (I heard she doesn't like being called queen so we'll replace it with BEST FRIEND 4EVER)
@@ruby.xoxo04Little Bows is the name for the The Voice era. Crybabies is the name for the Crybaby era. Cherubs is the name for the K-12 era/After School era. Earthlings is the name for the Portals era!💗
this song has a certain aesthetic to it. and i relate to the lyrics “people gonna say, if you need a break, someone will take your place people gonna try, to tell you that you’re fine, with dollars in their eyes” SUPER RELATABLE.
I will never get over the fact that this video has only 6 million views compared to the other k-12 MVs that have more than 20 mil 😭 recess is so underrated
BUT I WONT FORGET when everyone said “show and tell” was their least favorite before it was released and then now that it’s out it’s everyones Favorite like keep talking 🙃
Producer: Do you want dancing? Melanie: YES Producer: Ok... Wait, something went wrong with the editing and the dancing scene won't stop Melanie: Ehh its fine, just leave it like that
1:49 Notice how she said her powers won’t start and she’s just a normal human like us? It’s cause we’re all forced to do something we don’t want to, we can’t do anything about it
if tomorrow she comes out with a fire drill music vid i will cry, also before a million ♡ (edit one: i know she's putting fire drill out for her ep album, i was just hoping she would release it now)
I wish my old friend could see this. She’s definitely gonna rebel when she’s older I can already see it. Me and her haven’t been talking like normal anymore though we kinda just lost touch.
Am I the only one who doesn't have a favorite or least favorite because all the songs are the best songs ever? Please no hate I'm just sharing my opinion

Crybabies friends:”We need to stop this,” “I can’t do this anymore,” “Where”s Crybaby?!” Melanie:No shhh we just gotta let the song finish before we continue shhh
this is like, so much underrated. and idk why, its so perfect and dreamful, but, to everyone that don't belittle this song, thanks. melanie deserve more. she is so talented, amazing, and endless good things 🏄
I love the detail in this, the songs beat is a waltz and the music video is about a waltz. the song is about not being able to take a break, and in the storyline the students cannot stop dancing.
Rontube after school won’t be a movie or album it’s an EP that will have music videos instead of an movie,The music videos will continue the story of k-12
no i thing they both deserve equal recognition. There song styles are very different so they shouldn’t be compared in fact no artist should be compared.
I know you won't see this.. but I want you to know that I love and admire you very much, I hope you continue making art 🥺💗 thanks for making songs that helped me overcome school bullying and for helping me accept myself as I am. Thank you very much for everything Mel
I would literally listen to this my entire life nonstop it’s so soothing and beautiful and mesmerizing. Idk why people don’t like Melanie Martinez. Edit: this song is so beautiful i might do the dance and have the song for my Quinceanera :)
@@stvrl1ghtt7 the night before I first heard it I was really sad so I imagined a beautiful perfect world with a magical garden and a sunny day and this song really reminds me of that world and it makes me so happy
I think the song is about celebrities. ‘People gonna say, if you need a break someone will take your place’: Basically if a songwriter or artist takes a break (i.e. leaves the scene for a while, no matter the reason), someone else will come along and steal their spotlight. People won’t wait for them to come back, they’ll move on and the artist is no longer relevant. ‘People gonna try to tell you that you’re fine, with dollars in their eyes,’: Record companies and those close to them will tell them they’re fine so they don’t get out of business when they take a break. If they leave and become old news, they won’t get money. The rest of the chorus is basically Melanie saying it’s okay to take breaks; after all, she did and she’s now even more relevant and popular than she was. It’s the same with school and regular jobs: take breaks when you’re tired, it’s okay to take a minute to take care of yourself.
This song is so underrated and it’s such a shame. The whole production is beautiful. Her vocals in the beginning, the echo of the “just remember”. Goosebumps every time.

How is possible she wasn't nominated to the Grammys , she deserves at least 1
You forgot the zero at the end of the 1

She would have won, but the organization of the movie was awful, it was a all around mess the album deserves a Grammy but not the movie
I loved the movie yes the choreo was amazing but the Grammys isn’t a A for effort thing, it’s a A for all around perfection not A for 85% perfection

I call it breaktime or just break
My cousin calls it,"Go outside time" it's cute when she says it
melanie is the only one that can make swearing angelic 😭😭
Can we just take a pause to appreciate the wardrobe of k-12 like 😗👌🏽
I would kill somebody just for the dress in Orange Juice
I will freaking drop kick somebody if i dont get to wear the outfit from recess

I love Melanie’s cage dress from The Principal, I like the other outfits in K-12 but, that cage dress just hits different for me.
If I don’t get the dress from show and tell I will rob it instead
Melanie: usually posts songs around 8 pm (in Europe)
Melanie : lets post this song at midnight (even in Europe)
European : *angry European noises*
🤣👏
👍
haha
true
Ikr
Melanie: sings beautiful without autotone
Autotone: *wait that's illegal*
Autotune , but anyway I like your joke
I mean she was on the Voice and had 3 chairs turned for her (excluding one cause another persons team was already full) but I like your joke 😁
It’s actually autotune. Not autotone
;-;
😂
Lyrics:
I was too young to see the truth
In my grandma's lap, I'm drowning in her perfume
Too naive to even care
'Bout the words she whispered while she brushed out my hair
People gonna say
If you need a break, someone'll take your place
People gonna try
To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes
(Just remember)
Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh
Don't let them try (ooh)
Don't let them hurt you, baby
Just say, "Recess, I'm tired"
Sittin' in my room, looking at all I've done
Everything I wanted has come to fruition
I should be happy but I can't get out my bed
Stressin' 'bout the voices screamin' inside my head
People gonna say
If you need a break, someone'll take your place
People gonna try
To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes
(Just remember)
Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh
Don't let them try (ooh)
Don't let them hurt you, baby
Just say, "Recess, I'm tired"
Where is my time?
Gone in my mind
Gone, I can't find
Euphoria
When I get upset
I think in my head
"I do as she says"
People gonna say
If you need a break, someone'll take your place
People gonna try
To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes
(Just remember)
Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh
Don't let them try (ooh)
Don't let them hurt you, baby
Just say, "Recess, I'm tired"

Best Melanie's Song 🧡
It touched me deeply last year. I had a depression called dysthymia which made me extremely tired but I had to keep going on and solve all my problems and duties, have good grades in the university, work in my internship... None of that waited me to be good. It was hard, but here I am strong again ✊
❤️
recess and sippy cup are my favorite songs from her 💞💞💞
@@medeixeempazkk5580 then you aren't a real melanie fan
@@tc_elisethegamergaming7013 yes i am, i have the right to choose my favorite songs, my god, will fight for it? second grade baby.
"Do you know recess by Melanie Martinez?"
YES! It's the song of the year ♡
I can imagine one of those students that is being forced to dance with the person he/she hates the most XD
imagine dancing with your crush tho 😳😳
@@leah8jean It would be nice I guess but I don't even have a crush though XD
Cindy Gacha Midnight me neither but like imagine
@@leah8jean yeah, it would be nice..Too bad we don't live in the world Crybaby lives :(
How is this song soooo underrated, it sounds so pretty, and Mel's vocals-
Melanie singing like an angel
But me singing Like a dying goat
Can relate
@XxMøønxX Gacha t'es français ou française ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Melanie's technically OUR BEST FRIEND. She makes us comfortable, she's raw which makes her relatable, she makes us sleepy, she appreciates her little bows. We should call her BEST FRIEND 4EVER, not Queen (I heard she doesn't like being called queen so we'll replace it with BEST FRIEND 4EVER)
shes one out of two (real wont leave me or will but ether die or forced) friends i have
@@ruby.xoxo04 it is
lunchbox friends
Mel's our king 👑
@@ruby.xoxo04Little Bows is the name for the The Voice era. Crybabies is the name for the Crybaby era. Cherubs is the name for the K-12 era/After School era. Earthlings is the name for the Portals era!💗
I suffer from anxiety and this song helps me to sleep when I can't even think. Is very helpful, I love it.
Same
celeste said that in this scene
Don't let the insomnia f*ck you, honey no, ohh~~
“THE DOOR IS UNLOCK!” And “HeHeHe😈” killed me at beginn😂
unpopular opinion: recess is the best song on the album.
Its an unpopular opinion because every song is the best song on the album
lmao same, i really like it
Insert name Here YES👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yes it’s my favourite
Vivien Lam Lmao my name is Vivien too
this song has a certain aesthetic to it. and i relate to the lyrics
“people gonna say, if you need a break, someone will take your place
people gonna try, to tell you that you’re fine,
with dollars in their eyes”
SUPER RELATABLE.
i literally was in a Melanie Martinez moment, listening to all her old songs, when this notif came up
That's a mood tho. All her older songs seem so different in comparison to the new ones 😂💗✨
_Lei_C_ thats so true omg but i like this new change. it men’s that she won’t be stuck making the same songs over and over again
I will never get over the fact that this video has only 6 million views compared to the other k-12 MVs that have more than 20 mil 😭 recess is so underrated
8 million now :>
So true the song is so good!
BUT I WONT FORGET when everyone said “show and tell” was their least favorite before it was released and then now that it’s out it’s everyones Favorite like keep talking 🙃
@Kalina Genchov
You probably have :D
🥱
@k & b
I believe what I saw :) I don’t care if you don’t because in our fandom 70% of us are open about our opinions.
😷
👍
I listen to this song everytime someone makes me feel bad, it really helps a lot. That's the message, don't let anybody control your happiness.
Producer: Do you want dancing?
Melanie: YES
Producer: Ok... Wait, something went wrong with the editing and the dancing scene won't stop
Melanie: Ehh its fine, just leave it like that
🤍😂
JEEZ lmaoooooooooo 😂 😆 🤣
excepptt... melanie is the director so she decides what happens. she dont need no producer
Lmfao
JEEZ lmao yes
1:49 Notice how she said her powers won’t start and she’s just a normal human like us? It’s cause we’re all forced to do something we don’t want to, we can’t do anything about it
TE AMO

if tomorrow she comes out with a fire drill music vid i will cry, also before a million ♡

Melanie: Hold my orange juice.

These are for the children that live up to their parents’ expectations:
Take a break, your parents’ shouldn’t be controlling your life
Thanks, dear
My parents aren’t really controlling
That's the life if every Indian Child😔
Thanks bestie
I wish my old friend could see this. She’s definitely gonna rebel when she’s older I can already see it. Me and her haven’t been talking like normal anymore though we kinda just lost touch.
Director: How much dancing?
Melanie: *Yes*
But.. melanie is a director..
but melanie directed this movie and the music vids?
Lol she's the director though
Melanie is the director... we stan a icon who talks to herself
MusicCharts TV omg stop commenting on everyone’s comment like 🥱🤦🏼♀️
STOP SHE NEEDS A MOVIE BASED ON WHAT THIS WAS
This MV is literally a scene of the movie K-12 😭😭
The fact that this song is so underrated, smh😑 it's one of the best songs on the album, PERIODT.
💕✌️
Am I the only one who doesn't have a favorite or least favorite because all the songs are the best songs ever? Please no hate I'm just sharing my opinion
Lunchbox is my fav- nope nvm all of them are!!

True
Class fight : makes me think about me and my cousin

Lunch box friends : make me feel I do not deserve a happy life
I WAS THINKING WHILE LISTENING TO TEACHER PET ABOUT ARIA AND EZRA LOL
I love how mel always makes each album a entertaining tv series and a amazing album of songs
Crybabies friends:”We need to stop this,” “I can’t do this anymore,” “Where”s Crybaby?!”
Melanie:No shhh we just gotta let the song finish before we continue shhh
why doesn't this have 1.5k likes yet?
I’m was just singing along 🙂
cry baby is going seducing the principal

Lol🤣🤣😂
No one:

dance 😈
LMAOO
😷💕😂
this is like, so much underrated. and idk why, its so perfect and dreamful, but, to everyone that don't belittle this song, thanks. melanie deserve more. she is so talented, amazing, and endless good things 🏄
true..
Vou Fingir que eu sei inglês-
I love the detail in this, the songs beat is a waltz and the music video is about a waltz. the song is about not being able to take a break, and in the storyline the students cannot stop dancing.
Prediction for next movie:
Kelly is not going to be mean anymore.
it won't be a film it'll be musuc videos.
Impossible
Oh gosh
Rontube over 5 months?
Rontube after school won’t be a movie or album it’s an EP that will have music videos instead of an movie,The music videos will continue the story of k-12
Melanie should have the same recognitions as billie. They both are amazing and talented ❤️
period
fr
Billie is a big fan of melanie.
no i thing they both deserve equal recognition. There song styles are very different so they shouldn’t be compared in fact no artist should be compared.
why do you have to bring billie down to bring billie down? they both deserve it.
This song is so chilling and is like a lullaby for me to sleep
Mel's style : 🧉👄💄💅 Mel's lyrics : 💀❤️🩹👹
I know you won't see this.. but I want you to know that I love and admire you very much, I hope you continue making art 🥺💗 thanks for making songs that helped me overcome school bullying and for helping me accept myself as I am. Thank you very much for everything Mel
I would literally listen to this my entire life nonstop it’s so soothing and beautiful and mesmerizing. Idk why people don’t like Melanie Martinez.
Edit: this song is so beautiful i might do the dance and have the song for my Quinceanera :)
This song makes me cry every time I listen to it I love it so much
@@mewiarts4749 same 😭❤️✨
@@stvrl1ghtt7 the night before I first heard it I was really sad so I imagined a beautiful perfect world with a magical garden and a sunny day and this song really reminds me of that world and it makes me so happy
@@mewiarts4749 thats amazing
same lol
I think the song is about celebrities.
‘People gonna say, if you need a break someone will take your place’:
Basically if a songwriter or artist takes a break (i.e. leaves the scene for a while, no matter the reason), someone else will come along and steal their spotlight. People won’t wait for them to come back, they’ll move on and the artist is no longer relevant.
‘People gonna try to tell you that you’re fine, with dollars in their eyes,’:
Record companies and those close to them will tell them they’re fine so they don’t get out of business when they take a break. If they leave and become old news, they won’t get money.
The rest of the chorus is basically Melanie saying it’s okay to take breaks; after all, she did and she’s now even more relevant and popular than she was. It’s the same with school and regular jobs: take breaks when you’re tired, it’s okay to take a minute to take care of yourself.
Yes! Finally someone who got what I got from this song.

So is it about self-care and how sometimes you dont need to push yourself so hard?
@@seraphywang4638 your exactly right!
