whoever was in charge of the music for the show school spirts know they put the most perfect song over the final scene. they did their big one. the writing the final scene and this song came together as one of the best combinations like ever.

Hi beard!

School Spirits just gave this song a MIGHTY lift.

Here from the Netflix tv show “school spirits” , they did they thing with this one !

The combination of intimate moments and epic cinematic parts makes the song stand out even more. Good job

This song is such a kick in the gut. I could go on and on and on about how perfectly it captures those emotions, the atmosphere, the helpless sadness and anger at someone else’s actions…but instead I’ll just go listen to it again and enjoy how it makes me feel all the feels all over again.

i think its really funny that your song “Pancakes for Dinner” is what got me and my ex together. We broke up a couple days ago and this song matches exactly what i’m going through rn Been holding off on watching this vid but today felt like the day. I’m glad i saw it :)

Just finished school spirits and this song ripped my heart out

It's highly possible that my interpretation of this is entirely not what these creators intended, but there's clearly so much thought and effort and passion put into this project that I want to explain what I got out of a few elements of the video: The moment when she puts the mask on (3:42) could be when she decides to put on a face/persona to convince him to feel bad for her (which doesn't work enough to make him stay because he thinks she's faking it and/or because he's a jerk). Through the process of trying to express to him how hurt she is and trying to convince herself to not let him get under her skin (or to get him out from under her skin, I guess, because he already has gotten under her skin), she "dies" like their relationship -- that's why she's still a skeleton when the mask comes off. I LOVE the part with her stabbing the pomegranate (2:34) and how that connects to Persephone and Hades -- the motifs of death, betrayal, heartbreak, etc. The lighting, OH MY GOD, the lighting -- the dark hallway with a light at the beginning rather than the end, the blinding light through the windows, the fluorescent dullness of the classroom, the sunset alone on the bleachers, the sunrise with him on the bleachers, the soft glow of the church, the dusty brightness of the funeral, the clarity of the field that fades to black, the spotlight on the stage in front of an empty theater -- it all expresses her feelings so well and (despite, or perhaps because of the variety in the intensity of the lighting) ties the whole story together visually. There's so much specificity that communicates such clear emotion, both lyrically, instrumentally, and visually -- I could go on and on about how well this is crafted. Every choice in this song and music video (and in all my ghosts, which is one of my new favorite songs) is so brilliant. The fact that music like this exists restores my faith in humanity; I can't wait for the album!

The change of the melody, the recording, the amazing control of your voice, the intensity and the bad milk of the message leaves you wanting to send the bastard who probably hurt you to hell.

Here from school spirits it spooked me cause of the song and the tv show itself, but listening closely it intrigued me also,and I realized I liked it after paying attention to the lyrics. Now I’m here😭

I also heard this for the first time on School Spirits. I instantly stopped the show and replayed the part with this song. Then spent an hour online trying to figure out the name of it and who sings it! Caught my attention instantly!! Congrats!! Great song!

I get more amazed with every song you release I can’t wait to see what’s next. My fav artist by far

My interpretation of this song is that she's going through grief, and she's not the one dying. The boyfriend who was always there for her is going to die soon, maybe because of suicide or illness. She doesn't want him to go, and there's some much pain. She's angry because he wouldn't stay for her, but he would stay forevermore for him. She wants everyone to celebrate him and say goodbye to his life, but he doesn't seem to notice her efforts. When she sings, "I don't get a choice in the matter, it's only the death of me," she means it metaphorically. Sure, she's not dying, but he is. Then, he's gone. She wants to hang on and make sure he doesn't get a bad name, but it's hard when he left her alone. She doesn't have a choice when he dies, ultimately hurting her with a wave of grief like death. If he would've stayed, she would've married him, but once he's gone, she feels free. It hurts, and there's no way to recover from it, but there's comfort and freedom beyond it. It hurts that the preacher says he's going to hell. It aches how he died on a holiday. Grief is wounding, and it can cause so much despair that it feels like death. But, I don't know. That's just how I saw it.

@LemonSte

Жыл бұрын

that's actually a pretty interesting take, I like it. I think though she wrote it more about just the despair of loving someone who is completely selfish, and their final act (cheating, leaving, etc) causes such pain and then numbness it feels like dying.

For anyone who going through a tuff time, just remember I'm here for you. I may be stranger, but just know I'm here for you. I'll be here no matter what, even if the people in your actual life can't. Remember you got this ❤ 🥰
