DESCRIBE
no bells anymore
just my stomach rumbling
can you describe them for me?

the lock on the door
is barely holding
can you just wait here with me?

his love it felt like ribbons
an echo in the canyon
can you just find him for me?
can you describe them for me?
can you just find him for me?

[fadesblue]

the contrast between the roaring guitars and the tender mumbled vocals is *chef’s kiss*

[ianparknyc]

why is he so underrated. he deserves more fame.

[markstoke]

My favorite part of this song is that none of the sections start on the tonic, so it immediately makes you want to keep listening to hear a traditional resolution that never really happens but it sucks you into the song. I feel like everyone who likes this song is someone who wants what they can't have. Like me.

[jorgealvarado]

This might be some of the best music I've ever heard.

[JustinEdwords]

heartbreak high brought me here great song

[MarlaJones]

No bells anymore
Just my stomach rumblin'
Can you describe them for me?
Can you describe them for me?
The lock on the door
Is barely holdin'
Can you just wait here with me?
Can you just wait here with me?
Ooh, his love, it felt like ribbons
Ooh, an echo in the canyon
Ooh, his love, it felt like ribbons
Ooh, an echo in the canyon
Can you just find him for me?
Can you describe them for me?
Can you just find him for me?
🖤

This is so sonically expansive. It’s the kind of song you want to blast on loud speakers. Kudos to Mike and Blake Mills. I can’t wait to listen to the whole album

[b.andromeda]

This music video is literally genius. No pun intended. I’m literally obsessed, utterly and fully impressed, GENIUS

[dylant]

Mike Hadreas, thank you for your existence. Your music has saved me so many times and has inspired me so much. You are a beautiful person and I hope your star shines on for years to come.

[AndreyBondarenko]

The scene with knives fight is precious

[norahbrady]

this is how it feels to be gay and in love with all of your friends

[hishamqureshi]

This song has some weirdest guitar sequences, the pull and reverse playing, and suddenly punching in power chords and then immediately disappearing, hearing the distortion from distance, one of the best and also one of strangest, as guitar player and student of music taking something really cool from here,

[sammynd]

Incredible video. One thing that stood out to me was the person trying to whisper a secret to their mirror image. Amazing

[leaftwigmatt]

The combination of song and video is really outstanding and I'd expect nothing less after being blown away by Queen and its video. I freakin love the entire concept and really can't say much more than "double dang." This is how you video music.

[youthofyesterdayrecords]

I don't know how he managed to get footage of the barbeque I had last Saturday, but I dig the video.

[nikitkau]

I can't put to words how influential Mike is; constant growth, abundance of reference. It's just beyond me.

[MainDeJustice]

It's delicious how well the harsh electric guitar sound and his soft voice complement each other, that I live for it.

[jaydock]

You know when something’s so good and real, anything you would say would ruin the moment? That’s how this feels

[Wcook]

Just like Perfume Genius to turn a song on its head like that half way through. Wouldn't expect anything less.

[davide]

This is some of the best rock in the last few years. Well done
