mitski is the only person that can make me cry like my heart has been wrenched out of my chest

[slitslit]

Do you even see/hear the control in her voice and her playing??? I am so jealous. She is the kind of performer who doesn't need to be loud-- you'll want to stay lean in and embrace every one of her notes no matter how soft or far away.

[PRODUTIONisLIMITED]

Her voice is so pretty, i'm glad Adventure Time helped me find this artist

[adorableolive]

Something about her just makes me feel so intensely

[YarrBr]

healing is a slow process, and this song excellently captures those moments when you think your pain is just never going to go away. it will! you won't feel this way forever. and at least music like this is here to keep you company when you do.

[AlyssaRueckert]

This version of Francis Forever reached through my screen and slapped me across the face

[mariesazoe]

i've had "bury me at makeout creek" on repeat for days now

[norawilson]

got drunk and listened to this 10/10 cried harder than i have in years

[Yu-qpbx]

She isn’t crying but sounds like crying, which is so beautiful. I will listen to this song again and again!

[Otra_Chica_de_Internet]

"I look up at the gaps of sunlight, I miss you more than anything" brb I'm gonna cry on the floor

[sofiasolteroferreira]

two days of knowing this song and i can say i really really love it.

[YormanGina]

I think AT should do more covers from indie artists. It's a win-win for both.

[emilyvescio]

she is so captivating. easily one of the best artists of our generation

[druwmurphy]

So is it just me but mitskis music gives off motherly love

[ph]

this woman is an actual lyrical genius.
her song are so deep

[That_Ozian]

She just gives a piece of her soul with every word and even if you can’t really understand what she’s talking about you feel it. It resonates so strongly.

[dwarrow]

I don’t know whether to thank this Francis or hit him for giving us these feels

[gulianolihi]

I don't know what to do without you
I don't know where to put my hands
I've been trying to lay my head down
I'm writing this at 3 am

I don't need the world to see
That I've been the best I can be, but
I don't think I could stand to be
Where you don't see me
On sunny days I go out walking
I end up on a tree-lined street
I look up at the gaps of sunlight
I miss you more than anything

I don't need the world to see
That I've been the best I can be, but
I don't think I could stand to be
Where you don't see me

And autumn comes when you're not yet done
With the summer passing by, but
I don't think I could stand to be
Where you don't see me

[luisacostarica]

I had a really bad day and now I’m crying to this song lmao

[tothebeyond]

I just love the "I miss you more than anything" part
