She’s the most famous alumna from my high school and we’re all very proud of her :)
Cool
that's awesome! :)
Wich of all??
Is that in Oregon?
What about now, 2 grammy nominations ❤️
why is everyone in this so attractive??
confidence is beauty
Be confident that you are, and you will be :v
I believe that's part of the point. It seems like the meaning here is about a man who may like or love a girl but doesn't like the way she looks...as in, isn't really attracted to her. There's nothing she can really do about it, so it is hurting her.
I want to like your comment, but the number 333 is a nice number...
Calum Larkin But what if you're just straight up ugly?
The smell of indie in the morning
It doesn't count as indie if more than a few thousand people know about them.
Smell of indie throughout the day
@@TheChgz It does count as indie.
@@TheChgz says who
@@TheChgzSo Undertale isn't an indie game?
This songs mood is dissociating in a grocery store after dark.
Yes, most definitely.
Have you seen the newest music video? 🤣
@@letsstartadialogueeh7692
I have now!
I keep telling people I'm psychic but nobody believes me 🙄.
funnily enough michelle wrote a book called crying in h mart (korean grocery store)
NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE
Ugh why doesnt anybody talk about how beautiful and dreamy the song is? :S
Yes!!
Very euphoric it's amazing
Yeah, it is sooo magic!
Yeah but it's also kind of sad,well the lyrics.
Because its ours.
I've always had a thing about my appearance (like, I hate my looks) so finding music like this makes me really happy because there actually aren't thaaat many songs about this kind of stuff or not being good enough for someone in this context
I know that feel... I've always been kinda manly and all my couples have been like "y aren't u more femenine?". So fuck it, fuck 'em. Do as u wish, dress as u like
MoonKitten...Konnichiwa...You are very Kawaii...trust me...You are Awesome🍭🍨🍬🍦🍡🐼🐾🐾🐾
I feel like this is the reason I've only found someone else that I share desire with online. Anonymity is a curse when it comes to an online relationship, and just telling my now-boyfriend from Germany that I'm trans almost resulted in an emotional breakdown due to the fear and self-hatred it brings me. He was still expecting to see my face sometime, and it was difficult - not as difficult as before, mind you, but it's cringy. I look more between a hon and a non-binary individual than a woman... but he reminded me again, that what matters is who I am, not how I look. I might feel better if not for him mentioning an old partner he regrets leaving a year ago, a whole day before. It's just hard to think rationally sometimes, okay?
SAME this song means so much to me
Girl, if thats u in your profile picture you got nothing to worry about 💕 building confidence takes time but trust me, you're beautitul
I love seeing girls in suits!
Maple Mew No, but I am not a straight girl, either.
Maple Mew Asexual
MewWolf5 is your name based off a place she recently played at?
MichaelmLopez No. I made this account when I was 13 and my favourite anime at that time was Tokyo Mew Mew and my username is inspired by my favourite character from it.
Weeaboo confirmed.
[Verse 1]
Your boyish reassurance is not reassuring
And I need it
And all of my devotion turns violent
If you go to her, don't expect to come home to me
[Chorus]
I can't get you off my mind, I can't get you off in general
So here we are, we're just two losers
I want you and you want something more beautiful
[Verse 2]
Lack of inhibition works wonders in revealing every demon
And all this confrontation, this suffering
What do you want from me?
If you don't like how I look then leave
[Chorus 2]
I can't get you off my mind, you can't get yours off the hostess
Watched her lips reserving tables
As my ugly mouth kept running
Love me
Love me!
these lyrics are pretty biting for such a soft tune. they're relatable too, unfortunatley.
My savior
so basically roles are reversed and the girl uses male go-to logic. it's scary how different things seem when viewed through a different perspective. most arguing people do is due to everyone having different perspectives and frustration over the other not understanding what they feel. neither one is right or wrong, but it's easier to get frustrated or hateful than to realize that you might not ever have the words to explain certain feelings.
those indie kids
ndhmcn
Haha!😏😂🤣😂👍🏼😁 I guess I want her.... she looks okay enough lololol! Btw, the main girl in this video DOES NOT have that particular problem😂😏😍😍🌺🌺♥️👍🏼😎✌🏼
To everyone who likes this song and Japanese Breakfast in general, I highly recommend the Song Exploder (podcast) episode 152 where Michelle Zauner discusses the story behind this song and how it was composed. The episode is only 18min long, but is really wonderful.
thank you! I just did that because of your comment written 2 years ago and it was such an enjoyment!
Thanks for this! I am so excited to dive into this whole podcast. Starting out with the episode about John Carpenter’s Halloween Theme since it’s almost Halloween :)
@Alex H Thanks for the recommendation. That was interesting.
omg best podcast recommendation ever
Over three years have passed and your sharing this gem continues to spread joy in the world. Well played Alex H. Well played.
I can't get you off my mind
I can't get you off in general
Oh gosh..
Lmao
everyone in the band is so beautiful, the bass was thick, chords were pleasing, visuals were aesthetically striking. i love everything about this music video
This is why I want to play bass in a band, and write deep, personal lyrics.
thanks anthony fantano
@@chadwickmcfaggins9734 this is more insulting towards yourself than it is to me. You just revealed Fantano is in your mind wherever any music critique is given.
@@Ferdinaand lol who cares
Great bass player on diving woman
I'm gonna throw a loner party and dance in my closed dark room alone playing this all night.
Eyya Bat But, aye.
It has a kind of 90s sound like UK Indie music and others in one
I'll be alone in my loner party with you!
Sounds fun
may I join you?
for everyone whos been made to feel like they werent enough, for the trauma of girlhood when you were never the one they wanted, youre worthy and so loved and youre gonna be happy someday
why would you say this to me? good lord it hurt to be reminded of my feelings of inferiority... but thank you. i needed this tonight
"Boyish"
Your boyish reassurance is not reassuring

개비정한세상 thank you so much for this! 😄
Wow the lyrics are so well thought out.
Brutal lyrics. Perfect.
Thank you so much for that!!!!!
..
They should’ve used this song in the end of the f***ing world
YES!
YES btw I love that show XD
oh has that happened already? oh wait, you mean a show...
totally agree!
OMG this would have fit perfectly for that!
*the lighting looks very bisexual.*
*i love it.*
GeeMarie what's bisexual lighting?
Hahaha I love this comment. The lighting colors?
The LooRider heya! sorry if i confused you. basically, the lighting sometimes resembles the bisexual flag (because it has shades of blue, purple, and pink) :))
I thought rainbow colours?
+The LooRider Also, lots of bisexual content uses this lighting. Look at "Make Me Feel" by Janelle Monae or the Atomic Blonde trailer for examples.
I want a suit so bad. How do you get that sort of thing as a girl without spending a lot of money? I always check thrift stores but never seem to have much luck in that style. . .
- -
Well, every place is the same. Unless you go to a suit store and get 3 suits for $129 which isn’t bad at all.
Get a suit that's a little large at goodwill and find a cheap taylor. They exist.
You probably showed up late!! First come first serve ..
I was going to say that you could look in the school uniform sections in the clothing stores, but most American schools don't have uniforms, right? Where I'm from, the school blazers and trousers are pretty well structured, and some don't come with badges or frills so nobody would know.
Rashmika the Artsy yeah, we don't wear uniforms in USA but their is certain schools that still do the uniform, btw.
i feel like this is the kind of song someone would listen to if they dont have a date in prom lol
This song belongs in all proms, just because it's true. Year after year.
This is about her lover not loving her because of the way she looks and not paying attention to who she is
i'm a simple gay. i see a girl in a suit, i click
i’m a simple guy. i see a girl in a suit, i also click
@@randomcurrypuff6237 .......
@@jym219 what's wrong?
..... Oh! Is it a typos?
Yes!!
This might actually be the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard
“When am I gonna lose you”
Has entered the chat.
*VANS + SUITS = YES*
i'm in this video! it was so fun being part of this and i will forever be grateful at seeing Michelle work her magic in person ❤️
Bitch where?
Aensly Leon *who are you?*
I just searched, her Instagram user is aensly, I think she was an extra in the video
I was! haha, and yeah that is my IG, I have photos on there too of the set if anyone really wants to see
Aensly Leon you’re wearing the blue dress right? Damn you’re fucking hot babe, what’s your #?
This song is so beautiful, I'm actually crying. I've found my greatest influence. Like, every time the chord changes I can feel my heart drop. You have no idea.
lych Totally!! Happens the same to me, such a beautiful song!!!!!!!!!
same here
It is a pretty cool song. Something different
3:13 that's Lindsey Jordan aka "Snail Mail" 😍
omg you're right!! i love snail mail :D
omg i didn't even notice that I love her so much
oh man, didnt realize that its been 5 years since this was released. I used to skip class and cry at night while listening to this song and other ones like, rex orange county, cuco, clairo, boy pablo, phum viphurit, joji, & rich brian.
This just persuaded me to pursue my real passion. I was going for a nurse but maybe not right now. I’m gonna go pick up my guitar that’s been collecting dust and bust out the drums while I’m at it. Do what makes you happy, man! 💋💕
*Update 12/21/21: Oh wow, I didn't realize I got this much feedback! Thank you guys so much for the support and encouragement!! 😌 My health, amongst other things, made it hard for me to carry out what I wanted. But seeing y'all's love and wanting to know how things went makes me want to try again. I can play by ear but I want more. I plan on recording my progress on my channel soon. To whoever can relate, I hope you try again too. I hope you all find and continue to pursue your dreams and passion, even after failure and/or opposition. Thanks again for the reminder, motivation and new fire😘😘😘 Sending my love, stay safe! Happy Holidays 🎄⛄
hey man thats great you should post your progress
bold
Sooo how did it go?
Happy Holidays to you too 💓
I CANT GET YOU OFF IN GENERAL
CorpseTongji *chokes on tea I was pretending to drink*
The struggle is real
What is general?
CorpseTongji if this ain't the realest T I've ever spilt in real life.. Wig
kind of reminds of Morrissey - an elegant song with a very sexual reference thrown in casually....see Suedehead
Who's the girl with the short hair huhu she's gorgeous
I want to know too ):
Her name is Riley Buttery! Her instagram: @rileyspice
@@honeymwwn omg thank you 💛💛💛
hi date me pls @@riley870
riley buttery you’re so gorgeous oml
this gives me the "perks of being a wallflower" vibe. Should extend and come out with a movie with this :D
I think it would also fit perfectly in The Virgin Suicides
this band is sooo underrated, but so goooood
the whole time i was waiting for her to walk up to the guy staring at her, and ask the girl next to him to dance...
Well, then you missed the whole meaning.
That is kinda hot when you put it that way. In can respect that.
3-sum :-)
@@ninjanailgirlinatube ugh Shut your cringey ass up.
Yeah, that've been cool. If she did that and immediately got turned down by the girl as well, that've been even cooler. Despite the societal brainwashing from all angles, everybody isn't a homosexual. And if anybody watched the music video, neither was the character she was playing.😏😌😁😎✌🏼
Aw the last scene is kinda heartbreaking
Why? She's free. At the end she discovers she doesn't need a pretty/popular guy and she is happy by herself... playing the guitar and loving music.
maybe heartbreaking wasnt the right word, maybe more melancholy? idk as someone who plays as a hobby it just really resonated with me. Not to sound overly sentimental but sometimes music and specifically playing an instrument for yourself is the only that keeps you from feeling lonely. When I saw the last shot i thought "yeah ive been there before'
LeonCe. Amen to that
Ohh, I see. That makes sense. Thank you!
Excellent cinematography, the most beautiful voice in existence, a tragic common reality, all warped into something gorgeous.
TH-cam keeps recommending this to me and I keep watching it over and over again.
This song is so soothing, yet fills me with nostalgic sorrow at the same time. Just beautiful.
OH my gosh. MY big sister was in this music video and I was so happy for her. Your voice is so beautiful and so are your songs! This music video is just Gorgeous, i'm trying to draw some art of you cause i'm so inspired by you! Such a good song!
Ashley Leon *Where?*
Bby.spice2 Im Talking about my big sister not the singer...
Simpson 101 she has shoulder length hair with blonde tips. Shes sitting in the table behind the person singing.
i just read her comment her name is Aensly right
Way too underrated... It's a masterpiece
Edit:thanks guys for all the likes :)
moon flower it really is, such a beatiful song
"I can't get you off my mind, I can't get you off in general". Damn
dude i can’t even put into words how much i resonate with this it’s like the theme song to my life lol
I love how the 3 main characters are so happy with themselves I love the contentment, i strive for this
Amazing track :D Big up the cinematographer in this, lighting set up is amazing!!
Travel Blaggers are you from the Caribbean?
maybe. maybe not.
Thinking the same thing - looks super cinematic and moody.
I just found her yesterday.. in love with her music
I'm literally going through a tough phase rn and even though this song is quite sad, it makes me smile when i listen to it. Probably a 100 of those views are from me. She is speaking to my soul especially with that music. I'm proud of my music taste.
still going through a tough phase ? hope ur better
this is my comfort song and i always cry my eyes out whenever i listen to it ill cry it's so beautiful
"I cant get you off in general" loss of love slipping away ❤️🔥
This is the self slow dance while reminiscing years and pseudo love passed-aesthetic I've been looking for.
I am a bottom
Same. I was so confused but now I'm grooving.
More umami than miso soup.
same
Same here
literally in quotes huh
Gives me chills everytime . . Beautiful song. . beautiful. .
Bless this song for introducing me to Japanese Breakfast.
Michelle pulled it off! She has visuals, she's just plain perfect. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🙌🙌🙌🙌 this video is 3 years old and it feels like it was just made yesterday.
If you guys ever get the chance, go see this band live, they're so good :D excited to see them again in May
I'm going to see them live in april.
i wanna wear a suit to prom now :,)
angi so listen this mayb you like it th-cam.com/channels/BTS-a7MbX2lC7McCYTUhfw.html
angi do it!
Omg do it!!!
Do it.
Go for it!
If Wes Anderson and Sofia Coppola had a child, he would have directed this
Boris Johnson couldn't agree more
my two favorite directors!
@@Keepcalmandlaughofte check out Wong Kar-wai . Sofia Coppola was inspired from him. I've made edits of his films , check it out !
that opening shot panning up on her playing guitar with slicked down hair..king princess energy ✨
I saw Japanese Breakfast in Berlin this spring, it was wonderful. Michelle is really vibrant and energetic in real, and she had awesome shoes that would blink in different colours when she was jumping around like a kid, she was lovely.
LMAOOO I haven’t heard this song in a long ass time and couldn’t remember the name so I just typed in “indie prom mv Asian singer” and it cAmE UP HAHAHA
I love how all my favourite musicians are in this: Michelle, Leslie Bear (Long Beard), Lindsey Jordan (Snail Mail) & Minji Kong (The Hidden Shelf).
Tragically beautiful, a song as gorgeous and euphoric as it is melancholy, that's rare. So glad she's getting the recognition she deserves!
I love how the two friends are dancing at the end
I read “Crying in H Mart”, Michelle Zauner’s book and the video makes so much sense now 🥲 I love you, Michelle. I am an asian-american too
Me too! I just read the book too!
The world needs more girls in suits.
"i can't get you off my mind, I can't get you off in general" Wow!
Great lyric
It's the music that feels familiar that resonates the most....
this is high-key one of my most favourite songs ever
01.01 that harp......gives me such an ahhhhh....
this is so awesome! also I love how there's an image of you from 'everybody wants to love you' on the drum. I loved that video so much. that was the first of your mv's right? even so I loved it too. please keep coming up with these brilliant songs, so much talent!
This is one of those songs that I wish would never end.
always thought it might be fun to wear a suit, i'm a senior now and gonna wear one to prom because of this beautiful song & video - thanks for giving me the courage i never would've had :)
im so in love with this song and with this band that i cant even put to words what this makes me feel , i dont know what would i do if they stopped putting stuff out. i cant ind anything this magical ,
the distinctive intro really reminds me of just like honey- jesus and the mary chain, this song is so beautifully ethereal, amazing
This is a great example of terrific songwriting! The production is wonderful as well. Zauner is an awesome artist.
I really love genius's breakdown about it being about finding more in yourself and being adequate for you
Massive feels from the Japanese House's 'I Saw You In A Dream'
omg YES!! I love that song and this one!
I feel like i'm dreaming while listening to this
YESSSSS
My God! This video is as beautiful visually as the song is sonically! Everyone involved just hit this one out of the ballpark! Home run, well done guys!
Let's leave the music video aside for a minute and Focus on how beautiful the sound is and the lyrics are just so smooth and poetic.
Literally just saw her perform at a small venue in my city. Still blown away.
there's nothing str8 bout this video
I LOVE IT
I cried watching her on PBS 😍
this is the first time i've ever heard of japanese breakfast, thankyou, youtube recommendations
This song makes me feel all warm and fuzzy
I'm getting awesome Mitski vibes from this (:
Robin van Vliet they're on the same record label
Thomas Jensen it makes sense. They’re both indie
I was about to comment the exact same thing. lmao
it has a similar beat to once more to see you also
90s vibe
i would watch this teenage movie, the soudtrack is cool
Thanks for cancelling the event in Rochester. It means a lot. My new favorite band and great song!
Such an underrated band😣
Such underrated Michelle Zauner. :)
for now maybe.but theyre selling out shows ....
They are amazing
Came here on a search looking for Japanese breakfast cooking, and stayed for the music. Can't complain
I have been listening to majorly k-pop for 4 years now, and now I'm finally venturing to Indie pop thanks to mitski and now I am here
I guess you could say that this is Korean-American pop
I love all the faces in the video, especially the trio in the suits, I think they look so spiffy and cool. Love how each one is so unique from the other
SO dreamy!
That was really nice visually and to the ears
this will never not make me cry
Bianca Casciato same here and again right now. Tragically beautiful.
Still obsessed with this video, even after all this time.
oh... my... god.... what a wonderful gem to stumble upon....
i love michelle's suit serious prom inspiration
Cinematic, sweeping, gorgeous!
this song plays in my head nonstop I swear-
her voice is so soothing, and this song is so dreamy it feels like it's taking me over the clouds haha. the girl in the music video is also really attractive even though i think i'm straight lol. loved everything about this!
I love the color grading of this video. Perfect! Just perfect!
God this is so perfect, it sounds and is visually stunning! But how has no one mentioned the Lindsey Jordan appearance???? Its the best surprise!
