Mitski breaking down every song in Laurel Hell

  • As explained in the disclaimer, this video was posted by a popular music publication online, that included a small clip from one of the most offensive movies ever made, over Mitski's voice explaining the creative process behind her song "The Only Heartbreaker". When someone pointed that out, the video was deleted from their channel, and said publication never apologized about it or even acknowledged it.
    I decided, since Mitski's commentary is vital to understand her album, to edit the clip out and replace it with one of Mitski's scenes in the short film "Sitting", and repost it for archival purposes + for everyone else to enjoy the meaning of her songs without being slapped on the face by a romanticized depiction of a very problematic movie.

    I wonder if “I Guess” could be considered a thematic continuation of “I Will”. Where as “I Will” is singing about deep devotion to someone though it’s painful, “I Guess” is figuring how to continue on without them in your life.
    But honestly I just like how the titles parallel each other haha

      If we give the original publisher the benefit of the doubt, they probably just added clips from that film by accident. It's very common for scenes from old movies to be used as stock clips without the original source being known.
      With that in mind I personally feel you should at least credit the original publication, because otherwise this feels like stolen content. Someone had to book time with Mitski, prepare and conduct this interview, and edit it.
      I appreciate you editing the offensive clip out and posting this, it was awesome to watch.
      But it feels wrong to not credit the original creator.
