I am 26 years old and a high-schooler wrote the song that has been getting me through the past 2 years. Thank you. Edit: 28 now and still love this song 🎵 💕
8 years on this song still holds its own. Love this song. The 17 year old in this video is now in her 20's and has come so far. Love her work. So many hours of entertainment. Can't wait to see her and the band in concert again.
Haven't felt right in a week And I'm thinning out And it hurts bad I gotta get back Hot head and dreamless sleep I could just slip down And on the wrong track I gotta get back I wanna spend the entire year Just face down And on my own time I wanna waste mine And spend the rest of it asking myself "Is this who you are?" And I don't know It just feels gross I don't think there's anything wrong I don't think there's anything wrong I don't think there's anything wrong I don't think there's anything wrong Sunlight on the back of my arms Just thins me out To a different time I wanna waste mine
I doubt that if I traveled the world tenfold searching through smells, sounds, and sights that I could ever find a sense that brings me so wholly back to being a 17-year-old kid as the sound of that percussive, thin opening guitar riff.
idk about that bruh king giz, iceage, parquet courts, the national, thee oh sees, vampire weekend are the biggest actualy good rock artists rn plus snail mail is kinda mediocre only has a couple good songs like this one
managed to see her live in singapore and istg she was damn good!!! after her show, she took her time out and greeted everyone! she was so kind and humble! she's definitely one of the best rockstars in the modern era hands down!
THIS SONG IS MY LIFE.. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! IT REALLY HELPS ME ON GOOD AND BAD DAYS IN HIGHSCHOOL. I REALLY NEEDED THIS SONG AND IT HELPS ME REALIZE WHO I AM AND WHAT IM SUPPOSED TO BE DOING. OBVIOUSLY IM THINNING OUT! BUT IN A GOOD WAY! THANK YOU FOR THIS REALIZATION! 😁😁
Only know her from her debut, so I was surprised by how good this was, and how I didn't know of it. It has a deeper connection to the indie music I used to like than her debut
I think she did a mistake with her new stuff tho, I just don’t like it, neither her new project or her, I’m gonna miss when she was more authentic and wrote real indie rock music, now she even has a stylist and prepares before taking an interview, like she is more calculated now instead of just being herself, it seems like she wants to become a conventional mainstream figure now or something 😒
Joel Rodriguez this song is actually a story. It's about how she struggled with bronchitis and it caused her to lose a ton of weight, go into a state of depression, and was in physical pain during it all from the weight loss. I guess if you didn't know the story behind the song then the lyrics and meaning must of flown over your head.
While the newer Snail Mail stuff is a little more hit-or-miss, this EP is near-perfect. I was lucky enough to catch her touring this album, the show was free. It wasn't long after that she blew up. I know people like her newer stuff, and Lush itself isn't bad. But it lost the rawness that helped make this EP so goddamn good. You can feel this album burning as it goes on. Dirt and Slug...I mean the whole EP is fuckin' stellar. Weird they added that "Prettiest girl in the room" track after the fact, because it really does not fit in at all and you can tell it was made way after the rest. I will say, Valentine and Ben Franklin are both excellent songs, but the rest of the newest album gets a pretty luke warm reaction from me. But this EP? 10/10.
Funny cause this song is about her being really sick for a very long time and being depressed and tired about it, this is why she says “it feels gross” like she doesn’t want to live like that anymore
I legit wanna cry every time I hear this. This song is a reminder that hurts. But it’s good to hurt sometimes, I’ve been hurting a lot lately, and I’m waiting on the good times now.
a song that sometimes appears in my head at night and I can't deal with it, but then somedays it is the only song I can hear, a vocal i can love at daytime but is intolerable in certain thin night moments...
All of this girl's songs are sad when you actually listen to the lyrics. This is the only one that sounds happy. I blare it every time I jump on the highway.
It's hard to explain why. There's Just something else... something original. I hope they carry on ...not sure where they are at right now .. I'm pretty late on this discovery. I'm a big allvays fan...and b"i.gt":e'c*h got me here. Anyway coola boola!

Same here. I just scream this in my car after work so i don’t think about anything hahaha

Almost 40 and these comments make me feel old. I'll always love this kind of music.

Guitar sounds like someone merged Ceremony by Joy Division and Incinerate by Sonic Youth.
Nick The Caveman *EXACTLY*
And "Soul on Fire" by Spiritualized...
Nick The Caveman that’s why it’s beautiful
sooooo fucking true woah
damn this is so accurate haha
This girl is still in Highschool. Such a Badass. Would recommend reading her pitchfork interview if you are diggin this music.
Really? lol that's sick
Yeah. I discovered her through that very interview. Habit is such a lovely album: so relatable, so full of emotion.
So
The lyrics sound like it.
Haven't felt right in a week
And I'm thinning out
And it hurts bad
I gotta get back
Hot head and dreamless sleep
I could just slip down
And on the wrong track
I gotta get back
I wanna spend the entire year
Just face down
And on my own time
I wanna waste mine
And spend the rest of it asking myself
"Is this who you are?"
And I don't know
It just feels gross
I don't think there's anything wrong
I don't think there's anything wrong
I don't think there's anything wrong
I don't think there's anything wrong
Sunlight on the back of my arms
Just thins me out
To a different time
I wanna waste mine
Ain,t nothing wrong with this song
I doubt that if I traveled the world tenfold searching through smells, sounds, and sights that I could ever find a sense that brings me so wholly back to being a 17-year-old kid as the sound of that percussive, thin opening guitar riff.
so glad that snail mail is finally getting recognition in trinkets I was so happy when I heard it in the beginning of the episode
trinkets brought me here !!!!!
Samee
I luvv the show
I saw snail mail live! After the show I went to the back of the stage and she signed me and my friends weed bag😂 she’s so nice
I couldn’t believe they used snail mails music in Trinkets!!
You made this at 17...This is a song Nirvana would have covered...keep doing whatever your doing that encourages this creativity
putting my faith back into indie music! can't wait to cycle in the summer to this song
Feel you!
I've had this song on repeat whole summer, but it's even better with the video. This song works best when riding a bicycle while the sun is setting.
This is a song Nirvana would cover if Kurt were around today (ala The Vaselines, The Raincoats) I'm a fan!
Wow yeah I can totally see that actually. I guess the next Nirvana will cover this song lol
i agree
Best comment ever
@Captain Gene those arent the only covers they made though
Eric Reeves I wouldn’t go thar far but close
Just so beautiful... cant seem to get enough of this song
man, this EP was so friggin perfect. love the raw, unpolished production especially the drums.
"Women are making the best rock music today" The New York Times! Well done!
This is actually true.
idk about that bruh king giz, iceage, parquet courts, the national, thee oh sees, vampire weekend are the biggest actualy good rock artists rn plus snail mail is kinda mediocre only has a couple good songs like this one

November 2019 and still so true!

I still can't believe something this cool happened in my hometown
What town was this filmed?
@@mymfleg2506 Elliott City in Baltimore Maryland.
God, this is so good
this song is serving me much more mood than any song on lush. the bass the drum her vocal... omg that is everything
guitar solos in front of churches are always epic
Love the local Maryland scenery in the video. Classic Indie stuff.
My crush sent me this song and now I'm in love
@@annodomini1618 sounds like a dream
I’m listening to 90’s indie rock in 2020. This is so damn kewl!
Yes, coming across this band and this song in particular definitely belong to the best things happening in my Life this year :-)

@@davlor86 didn't know she had a pre-debut different style. If the other material sound as good as this, I will need to seek it out! thanks
one of the best of the last few years
just saw them last night with Priests. SO GOOD.
I was there too, amazing show!
I love the priests !
Gurl I haven't felt right all year😣
I'm definitely hearing the Cranberries, but this also reminds me a lot of Chastity Belt.
i'm happy that Snail Mail signed with Matador Records. Liz Phair, (showing my age) blessed it. I'm glad real feel-good music is still alive.
Snail Mail is Very Good™
So grateful for you!
The drummer in this song is just freaking amazing, she’s so perfectly talented!!!
This is awesome. Has a dreamy vibe to it.
I got hurt over a girl who really, really liked Snail Mail.
Thinning really does the job right now.
That final string bend at the end, reminds me of early Mary Timony.
I like this song, cool guitar parts & drums up front.
Mary Timony is her guitar teacher, so...
Reminds me of the melody of the French song: Bleu Comme Toi by Etienne Daho from the 80s.
There must be a real shortage of cool locations in Baltimore. Everyone films at the Loch Raven Reservoir.
'Cause the city is a cesspool filled with drugs and drive-by shootings.

This and Niggas in Paris are the best songs of the past decade

tight tune, one of the better indie songs out in a while b.

Are we fucking listening to the same song? This is fucking garbage.

They remind me so much of beach bunny and I freaking love them and I officially love snail mail too I'm OBSESSED
I can't tell you how many times I watch this video and listen to this song
”is this who you are? I dont know it just feels gross.” Hit me like a truck and I needed it
Funny cause this song is about her being really sick for a very long time and being depressed and tired about it, this is why she says “it feels gross” like she doesn’t want to live like that anymore
When the tambourine comes in a shakin', this hits like fire.
repeating this song over and over...so good!!!! gives me a lot of energy!! thanks!
That's me tonight, too! :-)
This is a vibe... music is not dead!
I am brazillian and i love this band, i love so much ♥♥♥
of course u are
This straight up sounds like Sonic Youth. I’m in love
I legit wanna cry every time I hear this. This song is a reminder that hurts. But it’s good to hurt sometimes, I’ve been hurting a lot lately, and I’m waiting on the good times now.
Great job guys. I downloaded your EP from your bandcamp. Such a catchy tune. I've probably listened to this track 30 times this year already.
Playing this on our radio show Friday in Hokkaido Japan :)
Heard this in Trinkets,loved it and had to find the full song immediately
Absolutely amazing song
I dig it....kinda got some Cranberries vibes...
If you want another indie artist who's got Cranberries vibes, then I'd recommend Hatchie!
ugh this song is my jam
a song that sometimes appears in my head at night and I can't deal with it, but then somedays it is the only song I can hear, a vocal i can love at daytime but is intolerable in certain thin night moments...
Take a bow, Snail Mail. Take a bow.
I'm 22 and if this song doesn't describe my life. God damn. Right in the feels.
Going all the way these are - can’t wait until she brings this to England 🤛🏻🤛🏻🤛🏻🤛🏻🤛🏻
Saw you perform this at the bottom lounge in Chicago and fell in love with it . Such a great song! Throwback to 2018
I´been heard it 4 a long time, a few days. This song is so truuuuly how i feel actually. Is almost like was wrote by me. Sadness is my favorite color.
The drums. God damn those are good pounding drums.
I pass that church everyday, on falls rd
Thank you, I've 🐝 trying to figure out where TF this is, what part of falls road
All of this girl's songs are sad when you actually listen to the lyrics. This is the only one that sounds happy. I blare it every time I jump on the highway.
This band deserve pure happiness.
They're absolutely amazing!
It's hard to explain why. There's Just something else... something original. I hope they carry on ...not sure where they are at right now .. I'm pretty late on this discovery.

@@bobbywoods6165 theyve got their debut album Lush and another coming soon
snail mail is just lindsey jordan!! she writes and produces most of her stuff…she has a specific band to tour and mess around with tho
I'm so obsessed with this song/EP/band
Still here years later ❤
I heard this song 3 year last and I still feel in the same sad and passion way
Catchy and emotional. Really like it.
Great song! Just came across on Spotify and now can't stop listening:)
Im currently watching the scene in I feel pretty where this song is playing in the background :)
I'm here for Trinkets. This song is amazing!
Who thumbs this down? Amazing song by a girl who was 16 at the time!
I love that it sounds like she's singing from far
💛
I love los Angeles
a legend is born
i hope they release more stuff
im sore as heck theyre gonna blow up and pump out music
once SXSW is over ^-^
Such a great song!!!
This kind of reminds me of some old 90s music. I love it maybe some lesser known alternative rock band.
Definitely “Shoe Gaze” plus “Surf Pop” vibes
God damn this is epic
Great song, i love this band!!!
incredible. enjoy it, write lots, you are in a prime.
in my life i have a completely different meaning for ‘thinning out’, so i relate to this song very differently…but it’s still my most relatable song
I agree. Lately my wallet has been thinning out.
@@beezel73 damn, that’s gotta be rough. i wish you luck
Is it a tribute to Can't stand me now by the Libertines ? Even the end of the song sounds like the chorus of the Libertines' one.
indie_ or_die and the riff like sonic youth's incinerate
Awesome song Snail Mail, loving it.
im grinning owww
She looks great also with black hair, but with her blonde hair looks..... well I'm in love.
Does she is natural blonde ???

This is excellent

this sounds so great!
Strong New Order flavor
This kid is going places. Bravo!
Fantastic
Not usually my kind of genre but randomly stumbled on this and fucking LOVE it!!! I feel the singer in this song... that's what it's all about!
TRINKETS👀♥️
love it❤
this song sounds like summer.
