This song SOUNDS like a feeling.
Don’t know if anyone’s heard this audio going viral right now of someone humming with a fan noise and the comments are always raving about how it sounds like a feeling and I’m just like WAIT TIL YOU HEAR LAST WORDS OF A SHOOTING STAR
My God I’m so lonely… played that song on repeat when I was in college and had essentially zero support system. Twas a time and is still one of my favorite songs.

theres nothing left for you and working for the knife. i live in a place that glorifies overworking and burnout culture so it gets me thinking about my relationship with said place.
there’s nothing left for you is suchhh a good song i have cried to the entirety of laurel hell MANY many times. that album truly encapsulates my early-mid 20s
The Deal, Francis Forever or Losing Dogs, depending on the day lol but singing I Want You or My Love Mine All Mine feels the most cathartic to me when im home alone.
Francis Forever I imagine is very relatable to anyone who has ever deeply loved anyone
Fireworks also speaks to me, especially the lines
“One day my sadness will fossilise,
and I will forget how to cry”
Probably Fireworks and I bet on losing dogs (basic I know) but the meaning behind omg, it feels like this woman snuck into my brain and took notes of my trauma
Last Words of a Shooting Star, I Don't Like My Mind, and Townie.
Shut up I'm fine /j
Edit: After thinking about it a bit more, I think I relate to a bunch of them but these were just three of them.
tough one.
i've had big creative dreams, pushed against by the expectations of my family. (Class of 2013).
i'm constantly torn between not caring what others think & wanting to know what she, the one who abused me, would think of me now(Francis Forever).
I've felt unfairly judged in relationships for the color of my skin(Strawberry Blond).
i sometimes feel that i seek validation from women because i have been treated as though all i am good for is sex, and nothing more(Real Men).
my looks are overly important to me, i wouldn't know how to be alive if i gave up on trying to be handsome(Brand New City).
my body’s made of crushed little stars. it makes me want to make art because humans were meant for grander things than what the world we made has to offer.
Old Friend. This ex i had that treated me not the best cuz she was in the closet but she did love me, it was only that our love was hidden. I then moved on and found someone else who loved me out loud and proud. My ex still loves me to this day and i still care for her, but boy, we almost went through the most hell because of a lot. So therefore,
“We nearly drowned for such a silly thing
Someone who loves me now better than you”
Is totally me
I'm a bit late, but as a person with acne, how is my body's made of crushed little stars related? Idk about you but I always interpreted my body's made of crushed little stars as a burnout student or adult that had so many opportunities crushed by them or others and they are not doing anything
That makes total sense! I read on Genius this interpretation about acne though, and it actually made me feel a lot better about myself lmao:
"This song’s usage of stars bares an especially close resemblance to a tweet she sent to a fan regarding accepting scars (from acne or otherwise). Mitski feels the scars have become a part of who she is and is beginning to make peace with them, comparing them to stars in the sky. At the same time, they seem to exacerbate her restlessness and fuel a desire to be more active as the succeeding lines illustrate."

I would instantly say first love/late spring. However, the song Working for the Knife is lyrically melodious to me. This music makes me feel seen and heard. Let me add Pink in the Night there as well.
A few, 'I Bet On Losing Dogs', and 'First Love/Late Spring' actually made me tear up knowing it's meaning as I listened. I relate those two songs so much it actually hurts. Nobody is also VERY relatable. 😮💨
Your best American girl - I’m a mixed ethnicity woman and my father worked overseas often and for long periods of time so my mother primarily raised me without any family around so my upbringing is very different than most in tandem of having a life long disease since the age of 6. It’s abundantly clear that I’m not 100% white and my background shows.
This song tore me into full blown tears the first time I heard it.
A burning hill, the frost, class of 2013, everyone, drunk walk home, I will, crack baby, happy
I know that was more than one song but I can’t choose lol
Last Words of a Shooting Star stabs me in the heart every time also.
This song SOUNDS like a feeling. Don’t know if anyone’s heard this audio going viral right now of someone humming with a fan noise and the comments are always raving about how it sounds like a feeling and I’m just like WAIT TIL YOU HEAR LAST WORDS OF A SHOOTING STAR

Search "its just a girl harmonizing with her fan" on TikTok and youll probably find it :)
OMG YES

"I always want you when im finally fine" CRYING SCREAMING THROWING UP

Comparing my unrelenting naive confidence at 18-19 with my mid 20s angst right now. Yeah this song hits hard lol.
As a recent college graduate who moved back home, Class of 2013 hits different
Ugh my situation rn. I just be crying to it all the time
I Don’t Smoke and I Bet On Losing Dogs

Realistically prolly just pink in the night but when I’m having a bad day I feel like Humpty…

Working for the Knife
My work commute playlist is just this song on repeat.
remember my name
I can never recover from Happy, Two slow dancers, and Door
door is an incredibly underrated song. it makes me cry every time i really listen to the lyrics
bag of bones, square or humpty
a pearl for now(?)
I’m two days fresh from getting a wax, so excuse me for this, but it would have to be „Liquid Smooth.”
whenever that song comes on in my playlist I feel like I’m the hottest person within a mile radius of where I happen to be
Townie, Happy, Dan the Dancer
I don’t like my mind. I sobbed throughout the whole song when she performed it at her concert. It crushes me every time.
your best american girl i am a black girl and it nevers fails to make me bawl shame and abbey i want you love having an ed yay.

First song of her's I listened to was Working For The Knife, and I've been absolutely hooked since then

Working for the Knife sadly
The Deal, Francis Forever or Losing Dogs, depending on the day lol but singing I Want You or My Love Mine All Mine feels the most cathartic to me when im home alone.

Should've been me !
FIRST LOVE/LATE SPRING. It’s like looking in a mirror 😞‼️
Old Friend, First Love/Late Spring, I Don’t Smoke, I Will
Francis Forever I imagine is very relatable to anyone who has ever deeply loved anyone Fireworks also speaks to me, especially the lines “One day my sadness will fossilise, and I will forget how to cry”
I used to relate to Love Me More, but lately I've been relating to I Don't Like My Mind (I cry every time I hear it)
