I am 26 years old and a high-schooler wrote the song that has been getting me through the past 2 years. Thank you.

Edit: 28 now and still love this song 🎵 💕

8 years on this song still holds its own. Love this song. The 17 year old in this video is now in her 20's and has come so far. Love her work. So many hours of entertainment. Can't wait to see her and the band in concert again.

Guitar sounds like someone merged Ceremony by Joy Division and Incinerate by Sonic Youth.

[februarydownes]

I doubt that if I traveled the world tenfold searching through smells, sounds, and sights that I could ever find a sense that brings me so wholly back to being a 17-year-old kid as the sound of that percussive, thin opening guitar riff.

[benjamincartwright]

This girl is still in Highschool. Such a Badass. Would recommend reading her pitchfork interview if you are diggin this music.

[SlamdogX]

This song and video is such a vibe. 2016 was an incredible year for indie rock.

Haven't felt right in a week
And I'm thinning out
And it hurts bad
I gotta get back
Hot head and dreamless sleep
I could just slip down
And on the wrong track
I gotta get back
I wanna spend the entire year
Just face down
And on my own time
I wanna waste mine
And spend the rest of it asking myself
"Is this who you are?"

And I don't know
It just feels gross
I don't think there's anything wrong
I don't think there's anything wrong
I don't think there's anything wrong
I don't think there's anything wrong
Sunlight on the back of my arms
Just thins me out
To a different time
I wanna waste mine

You made this at 17...This is a song Nirvana would have covered...keep doing whatever your doing that encourages this creativity

[joshywhvick]

putting my faith back into indie music! can't wait to cycle in the summer to this song

[lordbaseman]

I've had this song on repeat whole summer, but it's even better with the video. This song works best when riding a bicycle while the sun is setting.

[fahad]

so glad that snail mail is finally getting recognition in trinkets I was so happy when I heard it in the beginning of the episode

[andradevalmir]

"Women are making the best rock music today" The New York Times! Well done!

[relativ]

man, this EP was so friggin perfect. love the raw, unpolished production especially the drums.

[cheezy]

managed to see her live in singapore and istg she was damn good!!! after her show, she took her time out and greeted everyone! she was so kind and humble! she's definitely one of the best rockstars in the modern era hands down!

[ericreeves]

This is a song Nirvana would cover if Kurt were around today (ala The Vaselines, The Raincoats) I'm a fan!

[tommywaitsy]

Just so beautiful... cant seem to get enough of this song

[sopharela]

this song is serving me much more mood than any song on lush. the bass the drum her vocal... omg that is everything

[MrKelleyzinho]

Love the local Maryland scenery in the video. Classic Indie stuff.

[beezel]

i'm happy that Snail Mail signed with Matador Records. Liz Phair, (showing my age) blessed it. I'm glad real feel-good music is still alive.
