- Visuals serve an important role in Natalie Mering's artistic vision, and her early fascination with the sweeping orchestrals of film scores influenced her writing early on in her career, so much so that Mering admits her family thought her early work sounded like a horror-movie soundtrack. "Picture Me Better" is on Weyes Blood's album #TitanicRising on #Subpop records.
Personnel:
Natalie Mering, vocals, keys, guitars
Walt McClements, piano
Eliana Athayde, bass
So I’m listening to this song minutes after I turned 18 and graduated, milestones that I thought I’d never reach. I never thought that I’d even make it to 16; I used to be so s*icidal. But then I finally started gaining the courage to love myself, and, thank God, that got me to where I am today. Sure, I still have down days, but I’m happier that I’ve ever been, and I’m going to college on a full-ride to become a wildlife biologist. I dedicate this song to my younger self
You don't understand how much reading this comment gives me joy--and hope. Best of luck to you, Gabrielle!
ok, i cried lots reading this 🥺
Sending love to you 💕
What a noble life 🙏🏽 we’re grateful for your choice of advocacy, you’re impactful 💥
Hope you’re doing well :)
"We finally found a winter for your sweater"
After that i just laid down and cried
A gorgeous, heart-wrenching tune. She said she wrote this about her friend who committed suicide.
Do you recall the interview?
RIP Sam Mehran
@@carlscott5447 she told the crowd at a show I went to earlier this year
wow, very insightful. I had grafted my own meaning that was much less painful.
In the clip where she mentioned this. I believe she said that she originally wrote it for herself. But after he died she realized it was for him. So more of a posthumous dedication.
The naked devastation of the line "...there's no point anymore" is heart breaking.
one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard
her vibrato is perfect
Just discovered this beautiful performance. I'm crying.
The chord progression is absolutely gorgeous.
she's never sounded more beautiful and perfect while singing this song
best singer of her generation
along with angel olsen and jessica pratt
This album is perfect, unbelievable how each song says so much and goes so deep. She’s truly tapped into something big and her talent in singing, songwriting, lyrics, and production, is kinda unparalleled. I think it will go down as a true classic (whatever that word means to whoever) if the word holds up. If the world crumbles (as some of her lyrics prophesize in a sense) then maybe no music will last. But for now it’s very healing to listen to these songs, they get even better with age.
@@rafaeljesus8076I would add Sharon Van Etten too.
honestly thinking about this song makes me sad but at the same time very relieved, knowing that I have to grow, that I have to continue, that I have to live, terrifies me.
The bass player is also a great singer!
Mike Williams she is indeed!
On point, she is fantastic
She’s amazingly talented, i get chills every time i hear her voice
Her voice is everything real.
Been listening to this album a lot. The chord, progression along with vocal melody are simply mesmerizing
[Verse 1]
Picture me better
I finally found the time to write you this letter
To the stars and moon for you
And it's coming back soon
Don't need no money when you're around
And you're making me act funny
Can't help to smile with those eyes that shine
Only, if only you could see
[Chorus]
You got it all in spades
Got a lot of dreams and songs to say
Hearts to break
Waiting for the call from beyond
Waiting for something with meaning
To come through soon
[Verse 2]
Picture us better
We finally found a winter for your sweater
Got a brand new big suit of armour
It's tough, since you left I've grown so much
If I could have seen you just once more
Tell you how much you're adored
There's no point anymore
[Chorus]
Waiting for the call from beyond
Waiting for something with meaning
To come through soon
one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard
I’ll just lay here in the corner and sob. So gorgeous.
this song hugs my heart
Her show in St. Paul was quite the experience. This song and Wild Time are my favorite!
I am in total awe of this outstanding performance: she sang it so well. I so love this beautiful and delicate tune.
This song is my favorite song in this album,the more you listening,the more you feel classic❤
Oh, her voice is so in tune with the guitar, loving it!
I absolutely love this song, so beautiful. Natalie is very talented and I look forward to seeing Weyes Blood live in August
Glad you found this version! Enjoy the show in August.
This breaks my soul in the best way possible =')
its 2024 i love this song till now ❤❤❤
I loved her voice good song
She’s so beautiful it’s heartbreaking.
i played this song on my wedding day 2 weeks ago
I really like you gave a different meaning to this beautiful song.
The original inspiration is so sad.
pure magic
Beautiful voice and beautiful song
This is a straight lullaby - s'gooooood
now im crying thank you
I love her voice ♡
i love you weyes blood
This hits different!!!!
Your voice has a carpenters vibe. I’m happy I discovered you guys❤
knowing that this song was made for her friend that k*ll himself makes this even sadder.. but it's beautiful.
eu sempre penso em morrissey cantando este tema
😮🤔
Coisa linda! ❤❤🇧🇷
Fucking beautiful.
Gram Parsons is crying. 💓
love ittttttttttttttttttttttttt
The opening line always makes me think of Dionne Warwick's Don't Make Me Over
It sounds so 1940s in the choice of chords
I agree. I heard more of the 50s in there because Elvis had a song or two that had very similar sad swells mixed like this song. But yeah this is definitely an homage to music of around that time.
Love her🤓❌™
Natalie: What year is your beautiful Guild D-35 guitar? 1969?
@macaaan Aku merindukan seorang teman baik suatu hari nanti di pintu lain.🐅🐻
She’s got Jennifer Warnes tone of voice
Sad🕊
