Mitski Live: 'Burning Hill' - AEA Sessions | Aearibbonmics.com

Alone with her guitar and washed in a warm, orange glow, Mitski delivers dynamic performances that explore a range of texture and tone. In ‘My Body Is Made Of Crushed Little Stars’, she sings of youthful restlessness while her guitar roars with energy and ferocity. In contrast, her words of somber sympathy in ‘I Bet On Losing Dogs’ ring most true atop her delicate finger-picked guitar playing.

In these sessions, Mitski’s voice and guitar come together to create singular, evocative moments that linger in the mind. To best capture these moments, we rely on the simple, but effective combination of the near-field N22 and far-field, stereo R88.

Both Mitski’s vocal and guitar cab are recorded by the near-field NUVO N22, while the stereo R88 records the room. All tracks are without equalization or compression and the reverb is provided by a plate reverb unit.

burning hill is 16th in the playlist 'mitski ranked in order of sadness', this is easily number 1 for me

[kiwi]

this song feels like self destruction. at least for me, i don’t even know myself if im completely honest. i dont know what i really want, what thoughts are mine and which are intrusive, what i really like. im so easily swayed by an outside opinion on who i should be. i feel fine because i pretended to feel fine. i can’t tell if i ever got over my depression or if i forced it down like a bad pill. sometimes i want to run away from everyone i know but to know who i am. “today i will wear my white buttoned down.”

[eloisemae]

I"ll be back here in five years when I finally put out the fire.
See you then.

[mars_bars]

AND 😭 IVE 😭 BEEN 😭 A 😭 FOREST 😭 FIRE 😭 I 😭 AM 😭 A 😭 FOREST 😭 FIRE😭 AND 😭 I 😭 AM 😭 THE 😭 FIRE 😭 AND 😭 I 😭 AM 😭 THE 😭 FOREST 😭 AND 😭 I 😭 AM 😭 A 😭 WITNESS 😭 WATCHING 😭 IT 😭

[wilbee]

This song, screams of being gentle to yourself. My darling you are a forest fire that has burned bright and beautiful and horrendous. Let yourself stop smoldering. Let the embers die out in the rain, and give more love to the flowers and grass that will grow back before the trees. Give the small things a chance.

[nataliewn]

I strive to be the blank expression of emptiness on Mitski's face whenever she performs songs like this.

[whywhoitbe]

The "I'm tried of wanting more" is really something especially with the lighting and her blank expression it just ties it all together.

[izabella]

[Verse 1]
Today I will wear my white button-down
I'm tired of wanting more
I think I'm finally worn
For you have a way of promising things
And I've been a forest fire
I am a forest fire
And I am the fire and I am the forest
And I am a witness watching it
I stand in a valley watching it
And you are not there at all

[Verse 2]
So today I will wear my white button-down
I can at least be neat
Walk out and be seen as clean
And I'll go to work and I'll go to sleep
And I'll love the littler things
I'll love some littler things

[Nina-pwhl]

wow mitski is such an incredible it's not just the song that's perfectly crafted it's her whole presence anyway this song feels like when ur sitting in the bath too long in ur feelings and the water turns cold... i love

[OliviaGrace]

“I’m tired of wanting more” hits so differently 😭

[vivienne]

using a forest fire to describe herself is so beautiful and sad. shes the forest, the fire, and the witness. shes causing pain, she's receiving it, and she knows she's causing herself pain but at she does is just watch it happen. its not just that, a forest fire is hard to put out, one witness cant stop it, shes saying shes gone to far in this pain to easily fix herself, even when the fire's out the damage is still done. and with the witness, shes implying the witness has done nothing to stop the fire, theyre just watching it, shes saying she knows what shes doing to herself is wrong but like ive said, a forest fire is hard to put out, she cant stop it and she could call for help, ask someone to help her, but she doesnt. she sits there an watches it, wishing her loved one could be there to comfort her. maybe if that loved one was there the fire would be put out? maybe theyd add to the fire, but at least she wouldnt be alone. maybe theyre the reason theres a fire. either way, now shes a fire that will continue burning until there's nothing of her left

[myah]

this song makes me completely break everytime i listen to it. my parents have never really been my 'parents', more like providers. when im at my lowest points, they're never there. i am the fire and im the forest, im destroying myself without support.

[marsss]

This is better than the original. Fight me.

[youbelonghere]

I get chills all over my body when I listen to Mitski. Her music resonates with my soul

[Corasz]

i dont think people realize that she refers to herself as a “forest fire”, which i believe means that she made a decision that was initially small at first which then spiraled into something bigger and out of her control. she caused the destruction but she can’t do anything about it anymore, so she has to stand and watch it helplessly as it destroys everything

[hevermiranda]

I think the first verse is about someone finally becoming aware that all the rumination and self-destructive behavior that they partake in over someone else ultimately only affects them. The other person is probably completely unaware of the “forest fire” that you’ve set yourself on, you’re the only one who’s there to burn and to watch yourself burn.
The second verse is hopeful because it’s someone pulling themselves out of that rut, or at least making the effort.

We’ve all been there, right? :’)

[karol]

thanks to this song i ended a relationship that really hurt me and im relieved.

[alliedarky]

I can’t believe how amazing the sound is here I’m in absolute love

[cherrycreeper]

"ill go to work and I'll go to sleep and I'll love some littler things" how can you write that, god. my heart

[ballssack]

when she said “Walk out and be seen as clean” I really felt she put emotion to that
