mitski - coyote, my little brother

mitski’s cover of “coyote, my little brother” by pete seeger.

[@badappple]

Coyot', coyote
What have we done?
Little brother,
Where, where do you run?
We strychinined the mountain
We strychinined the plain
Little brother,
The coyote won’t come back again
When you hear him singing
The few that are left
He's warning
The human race of his death
Don't poison the mesas
Don’t poison the sky
Or you won't be back
Little brother,
Goodbye
There will be no one to listen
And no one to sing
And never, never will there be spring
Coyot', coyote
What have we done?

This song combines the two things that make me saddest, Mitski and environmental catastrophe

I come back to this every once in a while and it kills me everytime

[@BellaCassel-ip7zo]

500th like! This song is oddly underrated.

[@Niikolay]

What does "strychnined" mean, exactly?

[@sunbIeachedflies]

i looked it up and it said it’s a type of pesticide, hopefully that helps

[@faithh5546]

Yeah like op said, it’s a pesticide, so “we” covered the plains and mountains in it, which killed and/or poisoned all the small rodents and birds that the coyotes eat. So then they’d either be killed by the poison in their food or starved. So tl;dr, we poisoned them :(
