My favorite Mitski performance. I hear teenagers talk about crying to her songs but the studio cuts never did for me. But the fairy lights, the blurry iPhone shots and her acoustic guitar make those music real, and most importantly, warm. It’s the sound of a young woman pouring her heart out to something she loves, even if the songs retains its depressive nature. I particularly love this rendition of “First Love / Late Spring” because it felt like the rays of sunshine traveling through the summer breeze. A state of bliss despite the subject. It made me gain a newfound appreciation for the song, and how it reflects what Mitski once always wanted to be. I cried all the way through after that. She seemed like she was really comfortable and happy with the life she had as a small indie musician. Laughing with the listeners, talking about her best friend as she plays I Will. A quote from a Rolling Stone article in 2021: “I came from a DIY punk scene where there are a bunch of white-guy bands, and they got to just put out music, go on tour, and then go home. I thought that applied to me.” At this stage, she has likely passed the stage of playing bar shows where random clienteles would scream at her for her lyricism. The audience appreciates her, it’s interactive and cozy in a level she seems to be most comfortable with. I suppose that she at this point was enjoying this idyllic reality, where all she really had to do is perform, release music and go home and rest. It hasn’t reached the point of excessive, heart-wrenching capitalistic exploitation; which is the unfortunately the point that she has reached with Be the Cowboy. As an longtime listener I emphasize with her desire to remain human in this system that attempts to take everything from her. In some way, I don’t think she is meant for this level of fame. This doesn’t mean that she doesn’t deserve her current level of recognition; it simply means that Mitski’s ambitions as an artist conflicts with the way that the industry is run. There are some that is fully ok with the commercialization of themselves, but some just aren’t. And it eats them up and they ultimately accepts defeat. That’s where Mitski’s at now. As listeners, I think we often don’t think about how our attitudes towards our favourite artists leaves an immense impact on them as a person rather than the artist’s brand. I find it hard now to comment stuff like “I love x person more than I love my life.” It’s unfair, it’s not a relationship they consented to, but the industry, in the exchange of fame and notoriety, also forces people like her to give more and more of their personhood to fuel the quality of the product being sold. It’s almost like a given, even though it shouldn’t. The system categorized Mitski into labels that she attempts to liberate herself from, and those labels includes “Asian Women of Colour” and “Sad Girl.” We know better than that. The white girls on TikTok knows better than that. Why did those TikToks dilute the ever expanding concepts of her songs into “sad vibes?” Because she is viewed as a object of consumption, with no formal social contract, hence people can have the ability to mold her into a decoration for white aesthetics. That is the natural consequence of that. Why can’t general music audiences afford her the same level of intellectual thought and formal respect as other many other white artists who don’t have to go through the same excruciating process of nuance erasure? We as consumers should think more about how capitalism distorts the relationships we have with other people, as many of the dynamics we face today are a part of the consumerist economy where people is up for sale. Fans of the western music industry needs to establish the level of social awareness that K-Pop fans has been developing over the past years, because in many ways, it’s no different. I am just another Asian immigrant trying to find my place in the world. And I am trying my best to maintain the human as I navigate through the economy. If Mitski remaining small means that I would never know about her existence, I am ok with that. I don’t claim her, she isn’t a god, she is not my mother figure, she is that awesome indie girl that I have a few record of and that’s all. I can go back to this performance and see myself in a time where that simple dreams of warm intimacy and privacy was possible before it’s not.
loved your RYM review. this is such a beautiful, encompassing writeup. it’s a sort of sad thing but you put it in a loving way with consideration of mitski not only as an earnest musician but as a genuine person
0:00 townie 2:23 fireworks 4:56 first love / late spring 9:03 my body's made of crushed little stars 11:02 your best american girl 14:44 i will 18:10 francis forever
had this saved for months but this is genuinely one my fav performances of hers...ever. it’s always the small acoustic ones. it’s so warm. esp w the fairy lightings +encouragement from the crowd, don’t know why i never commented
Mitski deserves the world. Even though she doesn’t know I exist, she will always have a big place in my heart. This is one of my favorite performances of her, I just love the atmosphere. Her music touches me, sometimes it makes me tear up. She expresses her feelings so well that you feel connected to the songs while listening She will always be my favorite artist and I hope she‘s doing well
I've read where she's talked about not being good at guitar but playing anyway and I know to play a burning hill she tunes up her e and d strings... so seeing her play overhand in this performance is really cool. I've never seen or heard of it til Mitski and I know she's not the first but she plays for the necessity for the music. She's also said she needs to still be able to play if all the technology and things and extras were taken away. Legend.
this is one of my favorite performances from her, it just feels so personal and the atmosphere is so much nicer than some of her more recent concerts, (not saying that they're bad because they're AWESOME), something about bearing your heart to people who really want to listen to you. Maybe that sounds silly though, im not a poet haha
There’s something that seems so special about this set. It feels so intimate. I’ve been lucky to see Mitski live a few times, and while I loved those experiences, there’s almost nothing like a cozy acoustic set with a small, but very engaged audience, especially when singing songs that are so personal and emotional.
This performance is the reason i want to be a musician. It opens me up and mixes me about until i am all mush. Then it puts me back together as a new entity. My eyes see differently, my ears hear differently and i feel and react differently. And if i die before hearing this woman’s voice i will die unsatisfied.
Ella es maravillosa. Estoy encantado de conocerla. Desearía mucho poder ver su arte en vivo, aquí en Buenos Aires, Argentina o en cualquier parte del mundo.
i love this so much i’m going to watch it for the literal rest of my life oh my god i’m ficking sobbing what the fuck i was not fucking prepared for this oh my fuxking god
I will is such a beautiful and wonderful song, telling, almost screaming at someone that you’ll be their safe person, safe place, and their everything because you truly love them and don’t want them to feel as if they’re less than anyone else is the best thing you can give someone, your love, your compassion, your bravery, you want to give them everything you can ever give them and at full capacity because you truly and utterly love them. Mitski is an astounding writer, she must’ve been in love to come up with that song and I will forever be grateful for it because it gave me the courage to reciprocate my feelings towards someone, even if it ended up with me giving my all and them not trying. Mitski is truly wonderful.
i wish i couldve been there the same way i want to be at when beethoven debuted like 4 of his most iconic pieces in one all beethoven mega concert shit got cold but they kept going and delivered great music
FRANCIS FOREVER WAS ORIGINALLY CALLED CRAIG??? WHAT??? this is so strange and interesting edit: nvm theyre auto generated 😭 idk where they got the names from though lmao "beowulf finale" huhhh?
@@rumaisa8699 basically. but also i think she’s not going to be putting out any older material that she wrote back then since she said in a 2018 interview that she’d feel disingenuous singing about adolescence and first love now she’s a grown woman in her late twenties / early thirties

i love mitski acoustic sets sm
the camera shutter during your best american girl made me shit myself
Same lmfao😭
Same
This is the best live performance I've seen of hers honestly
honestly I think it's her anxiety, most of her small venue type performances seem much better than the bigger ones.
this looks like a teenagers bedroom but like in a comforting way
whoever filmed this was doing god's work
Mitski deserves the world. Even though she doesn’t know I exist, she will always have a big place in my heart.
This is one of my favorite performances of her, I just love the atmosphere.
Her music touches me, sometimes it makes me tear up. She expresses her feelings so well that you feel connected to the songs while listening
She will always be my favorite artist and I hope she‘s doing well
You’re so real
imagine mitski calling you her best friend i would cry
Fr
I love when she does the “do dooo doooo dooooo” part in I Will. It’s just so pretty. The whole song is amazing
10:50 “how many more songs do i get?”
“I want to listen to you to the rest of my life”
... that was the sweetest thing!
this is my favorite live performance shes done. it just feels so personalized yknow
My favorite version of “my body’s made of crushed little stars”

let’s also acknowledge how clean her runs were while she was strumming. like wtf. she was already such a stunning performer early on.

Same, I love some of her older concerts just cuz its so much cozier than the concerts in an incredibly big place
The audio here is soo damn clear! Thank you for this gem
the way she's just in her makeout creek phase but she's already singing the songs in her puberty 2 album that hasnt even released yet
We love u Craig,
We love u Mitski
why craig ? I know that it's actually francis forever, but because it's craig ?
@@nahomihanyu1428Craig is the guy you can hear who said I wanna listen to you for the rest of my life and please never stop
the fact that a person that said that wanted to hear her forever and RIGHT AFTER THAT SHE PERFORMED YOUR BEST AMERICAN GIRL
this version of first love/late spring!!!
i love when its just her and her acoustic
I love mitski with her table and chair
There’s something that seems so special about this set. It feels so intimate.

the little hair flip before first love/late spring :')
shes the cutest person to exist
this performance is incredible
i wonder if she knows how many people are in love w her
Yes I’m gay but also yes I’m completely in love with this woman
Mitski is literally a god
Same here
god is a woman and she is mitski
such a chill environment, i love the encouragement from the audience and the lighting makes this feel so comfy :)
I love these type of lives of hers. It felt most like home.
i couldve sworn the last time i saw this she sang thursday girl
luv u craig
this is such a warm atmosphere
idk how to describe it
i wanna be here
This performance is the reason i want to be a musician. It opens me up and mixes me about until i am all mush. Then it puts me back together as a new entity. My eyes see differently, my ears hear differently and i feel and react differently. And if i die before hearing this woman’s voice i will die unsatisfied.
