it’s like a hug and a slap all in one
yes.
litteraly all of mitski.
3:20-3:42
Felt like she was becoming more and more hopeful and optimistic
Then she suddenly withdraws UGHhh
Her gestures are life
the way she does it is so delicate and she really makes the audience feel her words...
Its being near to that point in time you think you'll reach 'em but as the sudden realization took it away from you; passage of time.
I just came from my great-grandpa's funeral. He was abandoned as an infant, and grew up in an orphanage until he started working for a living at age 15. He loved music and dancing, and when he was 17, he managed to take a ballroom dance class. There, he met who would become his wife, my great-grandma. Decades later, my great-grandma developed a disease that made it so that she was gradually unable to use her limbs. My great-grandpa took it upon himself to ease her pain as best as he knew how, including taking her on trips around the world, wheeling her around in a wheelchair all the while. He also learned to play the piano just so that he could play for her. A few years ago, she passed away, and he lived the last few years of his life without her. I knew most of this already, but hearing it at his funeral was different. It had a sense of finality to it. Their story is complete, and I couldn't help but think that this song is that story. I went home and listened to this performance, and sobbed. I don't know if I believe in an afterlife, but if there is such a thing, I hope that they're dancing with each other again, just like they did when they first met, over 70 years ago.
They're up there dancing - hand in hand. I'm certain of it. I know you commented this long ago, Hyrum, but I hope that you're well. I wish to someday have a love like theirs. Thank you for sharing their story.
i cried to this. i hope theyre happy and together now.
To me, Mitski is the biggest star in the world.
She’s the moon
FACTS.
@@saulgoodmanshellokittyphone star
@@confetticupcake3647 her name literally means moon in Japanese
Shhh
The bare piano really brings out the vocals in this live version. I'm so deeply moved every time I hear this.
When she reached out, she reached into my chest-and tore my heart out when she pulled back
I love how much Mitski emotes with her hands and her body. I just watched a performance of you best American girl in Korea and she moves so much, it’s amazing.
Here is that performance of Your Best American Girl.

3:42
Oh my GOD
i can't believe how Mitski just invented hands
Sunjay Hauntingston was turunan a a tygood was
I love this sad cowboy so much
my airpod case is two slow dancers.. I learned two slow dancers on the piano.. I’m hanging up two slow dancers on my wall.. its my most listened to song ever.. i have a playlist that is just two slow dancers with like 7000 times… I am two slow dancers biggest fan
To think that we could stay the same...
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Mr. Baphy symmetra definitely did not stay the same😭 she was my kween😭
life is just a series of me unlocking the ability to relate to all the mitski songs out there, and this is one i’ve finally unlocked.
the good memories were worth it. being in love is worth it. i wouldn’t take it back for anything. but the yearning after it’s over, after it’s over not by your own choice…. that’s something that i wish i hadn’t ever felt.
imagine being loved by mitski... bye
exactly
Does it smell like a school gymnasium in here?
It's funny how they're all the same
It's funny how you always remember
And we've both done it all a hundred times before
It's funny how I still forgot
It would be a hundred times easier
If we were young again
But as it is
And it is
We're just two slow dancers, last ones out
We're two slow dancers, last ones out
And the ground has been slowly pulling us back down
You see it on both our skin
We get a few years and then it wants us back
It would be a hundred times easier
If we were young again
But as it is
And it is
To think that we could stay the same
To think that we could stay the same
To think that we could stay the same
But we're two slow dancers, last ones out
We're two slow dancers, last ones out
Two slow dancers, last ones out
Thanks. It's a whole experience to listen to the song, and another to read the lyrics TT
this is so beautiful im writing this while im crying
Everybody’s heart is exploding
When I first heard this I was sobbing for no reason. Now I’m sobbing for a reason and damn it hits
mitski is my religion... i keep coming back to this video
if tiktok gets its filthy filthy fucking hands on this one im actually throwing myself in front of traffic
💀girl-
real
real
I saw a narumitsu edit to this one on tiktok so that’s the exception ig (also can we stop gatekeeping??)
Totally thinking on hypotheticals and what ifs but if I ever get married and do the big wedding thing, I hope this is the first Dance song
I thought the same thing!
now I want to get married
Why tho? This isn't even really romantic. It's tragic
@@unkaleidoscoped8194 romance is tragic in its very nature.
@@calcifer6142 I get that Shakespeare but do you really want tragic at your WEDDING?
For some reason went straight to Asleep by The Smiths after this...and then to and fro a few times, like a drug eliciting melancholy.
mitski i cantf do this tonight
i broke up with my first highschool love about a week ago. 4 years is all over. I miss him so much my body hurts. I would do anything to make him look at me the way he used to. Anything to make it feel how it used to. I will never not want to marry that man no matter how much I tell myself I can't. My early 20s feel so wrong without his guidance. to think that we could stay the same :(((
how are you now
I don't think I'll ever recover from this level of pain
at the first chord, my eyes well up. i love mitski.
I’m literally breaking my own heart at this point
hey mitski! i cant do this today 🗣
😭 shes tryna make us kill ourselves
this comment has no right being this funny 💀
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
STOPP
PLSSSS😭
PLEASEEE
mitski mostly makes music about yearning and its all i ever needed :’)
Can we appreciate her shirt? Please?
i am in shambles please
breaks my heart
This song makes me want to cry. Mitski is so beautiful especially when performing.
Mitski makes me miss my friends even though I never had
Who hurt you?!
Pls I cried 10 hours straight to this 😵👋🏼 /srs
oh, my heart......
KEXP, I LOVE YOU. MITSKI, I LOVE YOU.
I always get back to this song when I feel hopeless
wow, that voice, that song, so emotional ❤️
This makes me cry for no reason yet for every reason in the world.
Just lost a friend and he had the most beatiful soul. Miss him everyday, and it feels like my bones are melting in pain. The first time a boy broke my heart he took me to dance, we kissed while we were dancing, never talked about that kiss. We were fourteen ate thist time i think he was hopefull about life, he lost it. I talk about him everytime i listen to something that remind me of him and i remimber him everyday.
Seeing this live was heartbreaking
crying.
this is so good + underrated oml
