Mitski encapsulates the ethereal essence of the moon, her angelic voice offering solace to those in search of love’s eternal embrace.
Beauty born from the mundane, this song came to light when Mitski, desperately trying to escape the physical burden of carrying her overflowing groceries started humming a passing melody we now all know as the captivating chorus.The very beginning of the song itself serving as a testament to the power of love, an ode to perseverance.
We are blessed with the understanding of our own mortality, a knowledge that can either plunge us into madness or inspire us to seize each day, fuelled by the love that resides in our hearts and minds. Love is the very essence of our existence, it is all we have to give.

This song resonates like a heart brimming with hope, echoing the warmth of summer days and the delicate flutter of butterfly wings in fields full of flowers. Transported by the tune we are in a lover’s hands, caught in their gaze and in this moment we know that there is goodness again. Even when it fades away, love endures—through grief and anger, it remains.
With poetic prowess and captivating lyricism, Mitski holds our hearts up to the moon. An everlasting beacon in the darkness, a symbol of resilience, a smile shining down on us from the sky. Her lyrics an audible lighthouse remaining listeners there is always something to live for, there is always something more. Soft and peaceful, her power just like the moon, Mitski shares her heart with us in the hope we will learn to do the same for each other.
To love and be loved are not rare phenomena; broken hearts and lipstick-stained cheeks are not unique experiences. Yet, this is what makes it all the more special—it is a shared bond, a common thread that unites us all.Each and every one of us possesses an abundance of love to give, and if only we could put is somewhere when we go in order for it to go on. If someone offers you their love and continues to do so, surely that is more than enough?
We enter this world with nothing but love, and even though it may seem naïve to say, there should be love infused in every day. What can we expect from others when all we need is for them to give is their love? We realize that everything in life is transient, except for love—it conquers all.
Big longtime fan of mitski, nice to see you cover her song. I think it came top of Spotify’s alternative tracks of the year despite only being release in Sept.
