this video took me to another dimension ❤🔥and this song will be on repeat all weekend thank u
right !! the mv is a masterpiece 💝
Omg hi BRclip
Hello BRclip
oh hi there youtube
Bring back dislikes
the quote “please don’t ever worry, i know it’s morbid, but we all die one day!” gives me chills and a feeling i can’t explain
True and it's my fav part of the song ❤
@pumaslang 💅 Same
reminds me of Bojack horseman, ep 15 s6
right? I absolutely love this line.
Hola
If you pay attention @4:16 you’ll notice she’s put 9 swords in crybaby. This could be seen as a reference to the 9 of swords tarot card which represents fear, anxiety, and things that keep you up at night. 9 of swords reversed represents overcoming darkness and once again seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I love it when artists incorporate hidden Easter eggs in their music videos. Good album all together.
i think it also indicates the years of how long crybaby lasted
The only bad part about this song is that it ends. 🧚🏼♀
Fr tho
So true ♥️
Yeeaah👏👏😫😫
♥︎♡︎✿︎☹︎☹︎✿︎♡︎♥︎
I cried when it ended bcz my favorite part was when it started
The thing is, if you listen to the album in order, it will make a sound that will transition to it's next song, (except from Void to Tunnel Vision), making it look like the album never ends, and if Womb ends, it will do the same transition that Death did in the beginning. That detail itself is one of the reasons why I genuinely liked Portals than her other albums. (K-12, both album and film is amazing though)
I am in love with the “DEATH DEATH” in the background it’s so ragged and rough and it gives me chills. And the pre chorus too “I DONT WANNA BE CARRYING THE WEIGHT ON MY SHOULDERS” in love. In. Love.
Update: I’ve been listening to this song on loop, it’s been my comfort through the stress of regents coming up. Thanks mel ❤
Agree agree agreeee
ME TOOO
YES. Those carry so much emotion and expression
I love the voice she plays in this song and the chorus is so good the way her voice echoes.
In my opinion Melanie Martinez is one of if not the most misunderstood and mistreated artists of our time
yup yup she's highly underrated and underappreciated in the music industry despite her contributing the most
she has the greatest voice, better than Christina Aguilera
Lies
@therealog Nah
wym "underrated"? 💀
this song literally got 10 million views in the first weeks
Really love the fact that she's not scared to explore other aesthetic and type of music. Growing up with Melanie and her art is such a great flex. ✿。•̀✧*☆◕
@zestiestdragom But she completely escape from the child like aesthetic, that's what they mean.
@zestiestdragom You know what I mean 😅
@zestiestdragom yeah but the rebirth type thing is new. You tellin me this ain’t at all different from crybaby or k12? Bffr yes it’s out there and Melanie has always been out there but this is different.
Exactly, he looks so happy 😭💖
@Emma Michel he?
I used to be a fan, after hearing this album, I’m a whole new air conditioner
Slay
Her pronunciation of words is so satisfying to listen to. Her music makes me feel like the biggest language, lyric geek lol she's so particular with everything she does!
What do you like about her pronunciation of words?
@Illogical Tales idk but i also like the pronunciation of her words like if you say it it sounds weird but if she sings it its kinda like a longer version of a word and better sung
@MenedekQualSuurenta! shes just perfect 🤍
i love her lisp 😭😭 u can hear it especially in void, its so nice ❤
@heyitsbrandon ikr, what i like most about oliver lorren is his ex-
I listened to the whole alblum to cope with my grandmothers funeral and it helped so much that I replay it when I feel like crying.
❤❤ it’s going to be ok❣️my condolences 🖤
@Chocolanny _ Thank you so much
I’m so sorry for your loss ❤
❤
Mi abuelita también murió hace 20 días 😢
this is relatable cause she went missing for 2 years and she improved since and now she came up with this amazing song
Fun fact: this being the first song in portals, it begins with saying “death is life” and at the end of “womb” , the last song in portals, it says that as well. It’s like how she said in k-12, you start in the womb and end in the Tomb. She is symbolizing how death and life is a never ending cycle since she is immortal.
GRATEFUL TO BE BORN AT THE SAME TIME AS MELANIE AND ENJOY HER ART 💝🎀🕷️
❤
woah HI POPPY AND YES
HEY POPPY
SAMEEEE TO EXIST IN THE SAME UNIVERSE AS HER IN ITSELF IS QUITE AMUSING AND WORTH BEING PROUD OF ♡
AGREED!!!
The fact that she planned everything about her death and becoming a nymph i just *GENIUS*
We love you Melanie❤️🫀
Lyrics:
They're carving my name in the grave, again
The flowers are fresh and their faces wet
My body has died but I'm still alive
Look over your shoulder, I'm back from the dead
Lightin' my candles to draw me in
Seeing all the same things, I'm gone this time
Your words mean nothing, so take 'em back
And meet me here across the plain
The other side of my foreign land
You aren't around, I sink into the ground
I try to pretend I'm closer to you
Never understand it, you're always on my mind
I cannot help it
I don't wanna be carrying the weight on my shoulders
Death has come to me, kissed me on the cheek, gave me closure
Immortal by design, I'll be meeting you here every time
Back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death)
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death)
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death)
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the (I'm back)
They're saying my name in their prayers again
I flicker the lights so they understand
I won't say goodbye, I'm right by your side
We're screaming and pleading, this separation ends
Doing all your witchcraft to pull me in
Burning all your sage to connect our line
I show my presence, you run away in fear of ghosts
I try to talk, the barriers are too strong
When you aren't around, I sink into the ground
I try to pretend I'm closer to you
Never understand it, you're always on my mind
I cannot help it
I don't wanna be carrying the weight on my shoulders
Death has come to me, kissed me on the cheek, gave me closure
Immortal by design, I'll be meeting you here every time
Back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death)
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death)
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead
Please, don't ever worry
I know it's morbid, but we all die one day
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the (I'm back)
Está canción pega bastante fuerte cuando sabes su significado ❤
Realmente amo las canciones de mel
Al escuchar la última parte me da escalofríos amo bastante la sensación
Can we all agree that Melanies voice sounds so angelic???
I love this new era. The old songs were amazing, I loved them all. However, they were all childhood related. Melanie was proving closure to her childhood trauma, hence K-12. In this era, she has been able to move on, embracing herself as she is now. I love it.
This is terrifying... i love it 😩
FIRST
OMG STEEZY
i agree
hi there
Fr
I'm going to be honest, Melanie's new aesthetic frickin' scares me... but I am happy to see her growing! And yes I am absolutely horrified at what I just watched and I loved it! Amazing as always Mel! I am glad you "came back from the death" :D !!!
This song never gets old
THE LYRICS, THE BEATS, THE EFFECTS, THE ACTING, THE DANCING, THE SCENES, HER TALENT HER VOICE HER APPEARENCE AH EVERYTHUNG ABOUT HER IS PERFECT!!!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭
P.S: those who dont like the new her are not real fans✌🏻️
edit: well- not necessarily "fake fans" i mean i get that ur gonna miss the old Melanie but sometimes u gotta accept the change👍🏻
PERIOD
I honestly love her aesthetic in music now, it’d something I’ve been looking for for a while
theyre not fake, but probs not mel stans to begin with bc she's been doing things like this for forever
FRRRRRR btw if people don't like there not fake fans cause maybe there phone is like my phone without a channel and won't let them like,subscribe,or anything like that.
I'm more just... Confused. On...what happened.
i have a lisp and i’ve wasted so many years in speech therapy to learn how to hate it. It makes me so happy to see artists like melanie and grimes. i hope kids like me see them and feel they don’t need to change 🥰
I have lisps too+
Am I the only one who doesn’t notice the lisp?
Not trying to be rude
Not saying it’s not there
But I’m not hearing it when I listen to the song
Is there a part in the song where it’s more noticeable?
@myself Hello it’s mostly noticeable in void
@myself Hello I don't hear a lisp either idk what they're on about 💀 its just the distorted vocals that give it that sound
@💗devin💗 i’m sorry
I LOVE U SO MUCH MELANIE, THANK U FOR THIS MASTERPIECE OF ALBUM
I LOVE THE NEW STYLE, THIS SONG, THE VIDEO AND EVERYTHING OMG 🎀🫶🏻
IKR
wait...clownxiao-? didnt know you listend to mel-
RIGHHHHTTTT
No offence I agree except the MV like the faces gives me such an off putting vibes
Yep!
This song is so freaking addictive 😭
Not a single word that can describe how much I love you Melanie
21M keep streaming!!💞
Just her still being a whole new type of creature after 10 years❤❤
I JUST WANTED TO SAY… YOU ARE THE MOST AMAZING, GORGEOUS PERSON I HAVE EVER SEEN AND HEARD. YOU MAKE EVERY DAY BETTER WITH YOUR MUSIC, AND I HOPE YOU NEVER QUIT ANY TIME SOON. Rock on, sister!!!❤❤❤ Have a wonderful summer. We love you, Melanie!!!
grew up with “crybaby”, moved on to “k-12” when i was in my preteens and now “portals” through my teens. this is so beautiful and i honestly love melanie with my whole heart.💗
Same😭💗
Me toooo ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Im crying 😭❤️
for me i grew up with crybaby and was a teen when k-12 was released and now im almost an adult its crazy
yesss
its just so iconic how she changed to all her old music/audio official videos the cover to "R.I.P Crybaby" to make this a total and incredible new era, literally just pure art! this deserves totally good attention
also thanks for the 7 likes
IK right?!
@ℜ𝔞𝔦𝔫𝔟𝔬𝔴 𝔖𝔱𝔞𝔯𝔰 𝔐𝔞𝔰𝔥𝔲𝔭 yesss shes a genius shes been planing this the whole time!😍
She just made my day with this song
stanning Melanie Martinez isn't just a hobby, it’s a lifestyle, a reason to breathe, an escape from this cruel world filled with thieves. It’s art, the first gift you open on Xmas, a hug from a loved one, everything you’ve ever wanted, everything you need.
I don't wanna ruin the 69 likes 😍
Agreed. Never doubting that.
Go touch grass
@shannon parcell we do- try insulting us in a less common way, ok basic?
If Melanie dies I die I can’t live without her music it amazes me how good of a singer she is crybaby is a amazing album but portals is just something else I hope there’s a new film coming out soon
Heard DEATH on the radio last night on my way home from work. And now I’m Cleaning the apartment and blasting this album and I’m so in love with it!!!! Always admired your art Melanie. Some people don’t “get it” but fuck them. You are ONE IN A ZILLION and so fucking incredible. The passion that you put into your music and videos is what I love about you.
I completely agree 💗
incrível como essa mulher não tem música ruim
Verdade
Sim,impressionante,o melhor é que todas tem um contexto muito foda tbm
@TRIZ Kconcordo!
exatamente.
This is an ARTIST. I love how Meanie isn’t afraid to try new things and express her weird and wonderful brain. I am in constant awe of her creativity. A true artist
@pecy é assim que se fala!
Meanie 💀
Imagine if all of her little cultists failed the process
Her name is Melanie not meanie
@Sad Sam Excuse me, take a sec and listen to some of the records I've made , then give me ur honest opinion on it. I'd really appreciate it fam 💯. Have a great week.
DEATH is Melanie's best song (or at least one of). The production in this song is INSANE, the vocals, sounds, instrumental, background vocals, everything is just crazy. This is also one of Mel's best songs lyrically, the song is so poetic, descriptive, and really shows a big part who Melanie is. Plus, the visuals??! Definetly the best visuals we have gotten from Melanie yet. You can tell they feel very happy and comfortable with this new era.
Твое творчество восхитительно 😍
Melanie helped me realize that the point of life is to grow, change, and develop
Melanie martinez is so creative with her songs. I'm obsessed with this song. You can tell she put a lot of work just for this master piece it's good seeing her happy, and it makes me happy to
True like why can't people understand that. Them unsubscribing just because she changed her appearance are they fr 😭 she's still here just in a different form. This is already telling a story and they don't understand idk why but I'm pissed 😢
@pumaslang 💅 ong its literally 2023 things change
Can we appreciate the fact that Melanie has never once given us bad music or music video?
right.
Fax
so true
FACTS
real ik this next album finna be a no skipper
Lyrics that hit me hard
3:28 “when you aren’t around I sink into the ground, I try to pretend I’m closer to you”
4:31 “Please don’t ever worry, I know it’s morbid but we all did one day”
LETS GET TOO 1B VIEWS PEOPLE WOOOOOOOOOOOOO
4:31 made me about to cry CRYBABYS DEAD😭😭
This morning when I got in my car to go to work VOID started playing on the radio and I almost cried. I am so beyond proud of Melanie and how far she has come 🧚🏼♀️💗
Espero nunca esquecer dessa musica💖
Can we just appreciate how amazing Mel is? She gets her songs leaked and still adds one to this album. They take their time to gather creative ideas. She loves all of her fans when some of them are disrespectful at her concerts talking over her. Growing up with Melanie is so amazing and relating to her songs is such comfort. We r so lucky to have them! ❤
Comment that on Tunnel Vision song.
@ℜ𝔞𝔦𝔫𝔟𝔬𝔴 𝔖𝔱𝔞𝔯𝔰 𝔐𝔞𝔰𝔥𝔲𝔭 huh? Wdym?
@ℜ𝔞𝔦𝔫𝔟𝔬𝔴 𝔖𝔱𝔞𝔯𝔰 𝔐𝔞𝔰𝔥𝔲𝔭 Death got leaked in 2021 BUT it was a different version it didnt sound like this one at all and the lyrics were different
@mel’s portals 💓 Then it was not Final DEATH version, mr/mrs person.
omg bro this is awesome, i like how she hid some deep meanings like the tarot card, the 8-10 of swords which represents feeling trapped and also a relationship in crisis. it's awesome that melanie has decided to come back to her music career here in 2023 with a whole new album for us. we love you melanie!
also, I just realized.. in K-12 when you see them all go through the portal all except C.B/Crybaby, in this M/V you can see Magnolia's braids under one of the bunny masks. Maybe going through the portal caused it? if you wanna see, its in 0:25
also, the phrase used in the beginning, "death is life is death is life is death is life is" hints back to K-12 when Crybaby says "Why are people so scared of death? It's just another part of life. You start from the womb, 'n you end in the tomb.".
The talent that this woman has is like no other. I listened to the album in the listening party and there’s absolutely 0 skips. Can’t wait to watch people regret hating on moon cycle
That's part of the reason why I hate living where I live because there won't be a listening party at my state 😭
I WISH I COULDVE GONEEE THE CLOSEST ONE WAS LIKE AN HOUR AWAY FROM ME BUT I COULDNT GO :(( I HOPE U HAD FUN THOO I CAN'T WAIT
@☆CertifiablyEternal☆ only a week till the album comes out! To be honest the only good thing about the listening party was hearing the album and i could barely hear because people were talking. It seems like it was like that in most places so you guys didn’t miss out on much
I love how she’s been hinting more and more at her spiritual/witchy side throughout the albums (particularly k-12) but now she’s fully not afraid to express it
Actually, I also came back from the dead. I was bullied from a young age, and finally in high school, I was bullied by my teacher and transferred to another school, and I became an eating disorder and repeated overeating and anorexia. Even if I got better and had a part-time job, my overeating got worse and I wanted to die many times. However, I'm finally getting out of this vicious circle. Melanie, your songs are always supporting me. Thank you.
I'm glad you are recovering
I’m so sorry that has happened to u! Stay strong 💪
why she always come out wit good songs she should be queen
They're carving my name in the grave, again
The flowers are fresh and their faces wet
My body has died but I'm still alive
Look over your shoulder, I'm back from the dead
Lightin' my candles to draw me in
Seeing all the same things, I'm gone this time
Your words mean nothing, so take 'em back
And meet me here across the plain
The other side of my foreign land
You aren't around, I sink into the ground
I try to pretend I'm closer to you
Never understand it, you're always on my mind
I cannot help it
I don't wanna be carrying the weight on my shoulders
Death has come to me, kissed me on the cheek, gave me closure
Immortal by design, I'll be meeting you here every time
Back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead

I flicker the lights so they understand
I won't say goodbye, I'm right by your side
We're screaming and pleading, this separation ends
Doing all your witchcraft to pull me in
Burning all your sage to connect our line
I show my presence, you run away in fear of ghosts
I try to talk, the barriers are too strong
When you aren't around, I sink into the ground
I try to pretend I'm closer to you
Never understand it, you're always on my mind
I cannot help it
I don't wanna be carrying the weight on my shoulders

I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death)
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead
Please, don't ever worry
I know it's morbid, but we all die one day
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the (I'm back)

Oh ok
Nothing unique about this at all. If you were older youd understand this.
@EX actually yeah this is
𝙸 𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝚑𝚎𝚛
I HOPE SHE RELEASES MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS FOR HER OTHER SONGS 😩😩😩
IT'S SO BEAUTIFULL THIS SONG
Melanie entregou tudo nesse MV
I keep whistling, singing and even listening to this 24/7 and I think I'm getting to addicted. Love it so much
This is one of the songs of all time
Nossa rainha voltou!!!
@pecy todos nós iremos..
@pecy fé irmão
Melanie vc sempre será famosa
PERFEITA DMS❤
She was never gone she's always slaying 💅
I love this new era of Melanie Martinez 💗❤
Don't know why this isn't more popular this is a work of art imagination brought to life 💖
Ikr 😭 she fr deserves more recognition 😭
@pumaslang 💅 do you know what a subscriber count is
@bluz plush yes
22M congrats Melanie! Now we go for 23M ⚰️💗
In spotify 45M had streamed this song
@Falriuz yes! And VOID is close to 50M as well 💗
My 5 year old loves your music Melanie, as your heart was flying over your body she said,”Mommy look it’s her heart, she is beautiful. Can I be her when I grow up?”
I told her, “yes, you could be anything you want if you put your mind into it”
I love that both Melanie and my kid aren’t afraid to be themselves!
Awee that beautiful
gurl no she didn’t ain’t no 5 year old gon say that 💀💀
@Cody well I didn’t baby talk to my kid, she is very articulate, she’s smart
@Cody you cant gatekeep what a CHILD says. The kid is their own person, you don't own them or rule them around.
So cute!
I don't know what it is about these fairies that speaks to me on such a core level, but I really really love them. I cannot stop watching this video, I'm obsessed.
seeing her old character design leaving the community really made me sad and probably made all of you feel the same but she’s exploring a new era of herself and we should support it all step by step ❤
This! I´m so sad when I first saw crybaby dead on the ground. But as she said " My body has died, but I'm still alive" so she isn´t dead, but her crybaby era is. But still, I´m hyped for her new era and will always love her music. (And still be hearing the old songs, I could never forget about them all)
Yes, agreed
i felt like part of a new start
They're carving my name in the grave again
The flowers are fresh and their faces wet
My body has died but I'm still alive
Look over your shoulder, I'm back from the dead
Lightin' my candles to draw me in
Seeing all the same things, I'm gone this time
Your words mean nothing, so take 'em back
And meet me here across the plain
The other side, I'm not far
When you aren't around, I sink into the ground
I try to pretend I'm closer to you
Never understand it, you're always on my mind
I cannot help it
I don't wanna be carrying the weight on my shoulders
Death has come to me, kissed me on the cheek, gave me closure
Immortal by design, I'll be meeting you here every time
Back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death)
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death)
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death)
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the (I'm back)

Lightin' my candles to draw me in
Seeing all the same things, I'm gone this time
Your words mean nothing, so take 'em back
And meet me here across the plain
The other side, I'm not far
When you aren't around, I sink into the ground
I try to pretend I'm closer to you
Never understand it, you're always on my mind
I cannot help it
I don't wanna be carrying the weight on my shoulders
Death has come to me, kissed me on the cheek, gave me closure
Immortal by design, I'll be meeting you here every time
Back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death)
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death)
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death)
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the (I'm back)
They're saying my name in their prayers again
I flicker the lights so they understand
I won't say goodbye, I'm right by your side
We're screaming and pleading, this separation ends
Doing all your witchcraft to pull me in
Burning all your sage to connect our line
I show my presence, you run away in fear of ghosts
I try to talk, the barriers are too strong
When you aren't around, I sink into the ground
I try to pretend I'm closer to you
Never understand it, you're always on my mind
I cannot help it
I don't wanna be carrying the weight on my shoulders
Death has come to me, kissed me on the cheek, gave me closure
Immortal by design, I'll be meeting you here every time
Back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death)
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death)
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead
Please (I'm back from the dead, back from the dead)
Don't ever worry (I'm back from the dead, back from the dead)
I know it's morbid (I'm back from the dead, back from the dead)
But we all die one day (I'm back from the dead, back from the dead)
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the (I'm back)They're carving my name in the grave again
The flowers are fresh and their faces wet
My body has died but I'm still alive
Look over your shoulder, I'm back from the dead
Lightin' my candles to draw me in
Seeing all the same things, I'm gone this time
Your words mean nothing, so take 'em back
And meet me here across the plain
The other side, I'm not far
When you aren't around, I sink into the ground
I try to pretend I'm closer to you
Never understand it, you're always on my mind
I cannot help it
I don't wanna be carrying the weight on my shoulders
Death has come to me, kissed me on the cheek, gave me closure
Immortal by design, I'll be meeting you here every time
Back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death)
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death)
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death)
I'm back from the dead (death), back from the (I'm back)

She needs to make a portals film 😍
She said they most likely will if their able to earn enough money for the production and materials needed!
I would like this song to be played at my funeral
I can't wait to see you in concert your music has kept me together all these years!
She should make an album with her unreleased songs!
Album name ideas
Imagine how bland this all would be if we didn't have artists like Melanie who aren't afraid to build a world and create amazing music for us to enjoy. It's been an honor to be able to say I've been on every journey she's wanted to take us on. ❤
including the NFT journey?
@Toastee we don’t talk abt that
واقعا درست میگی ملانی مارتینز خواننده ای فوقالعاده است که ایده های عجیبش باعث میشوند احساس تنهایی نکنم سبک خاص او جالب و زیباست
Let us not forget the og Bjork 🙏
Same here.....
This is not weird - it's pure art ❤️
I mean, the whole album is amazing, and it's been for more than a month on repeat, im kinda obsessed
Same I've been playing this album on repeat the moment I wake up. The beats just get me in the mood to like move 😍✨
THE PART “I don’t wanna be carrying the weight on my shoulders” IS SO CRISP
Acabo de recibir el álbum y sigo sin superar esta obra de arte ✨
It’s so fun to have seen Melanie over the years. I discovered her through dollhouse in 7th grade when i was 13. Now I’m 21 in my 3rd year of university. To have seen her grow is an honor.
I listened to Melanie when i was 10yrs old and now I'm almost 16
I watched her live on the voice. I cheered her on. I’m so proud of her.
they played the same song? (lil vrah - bad bunny v2) 😵
Btch we twinning 😄
Literally me.
Seriously, it was a perfect description of my journey with Melanie
I will miss crybabys human form, but i am so glad that melanie is exploring her aesthetic and releasing more amazing music for us, i have been around since 2020, and grew up with mel, so her music is so important to me
I love how Melanie Martinez’s songs have a deep meaning in them. Thank you for making us these wonderful songs ♡ ☆ ❁ ♪
The Grammys really don’t know what their missing
19 million views! LET'S GO!! I'm going to listen to this the 100th time and probably won't stop. Also, VOID needs more love
Yes! ❤
If this video could get 20M views each month, it would get 240M views a year!
first we get a song, a week later a music video, and then in a week we get the whole album?? this person is feeding us with their art and style 💗✨🙏🏼
I need the songs on Spotify so badly
This is on Spotify
literally so excited
Her music is to strong for my heart 😭
I LOVE THISSS ERA SM LIKE I KEEP PLAYING THE SONGS OVER AND OVER AGAIN SOMEONE STOP ME 😭😭✨
OMG ME TOOO AAAHHHH
Now we go for 24M 🧚🏼♀️💗
If they don’t play this at my funeral guarantee I WILL BE COMING BACK FROM THE DEAD-
One of my fave artists ever! K-12 is great and so is portals! Cannot wait for the film!
Same 😩 I'm so excited I already know the movie's gonna be good especially because she said that the movie will have more script 🥵💅
“I wont say goodbye, am right by your side.” Gave me chills.
NO LITERALLY
FUCKING A DID IT!!
“Please don’t ever worry, i know it’s morbid but we all die one day” as someone who really fears dying this song made me see death from a new perspective. I love Melanie sm 💗
I also have thanatophobia I'm very scared of death. But this song helped me sm ❤
This song deserves 100 million 😢❤
lets make it happen till the end of 2023 :))
I GREW UP WITH HER SINCE I WAS 10 and this still hits love her foreverrrrrrrr
Trueee 😍💅
Trueee 😍💅
I love how the new Melanie is so eerie yet at the end of the video she was super cute, like a baby bunny popping out of their home in the ground to see the outside but then went back in the ground and traveled from there because they're shy ❤😊
The use of dreariness and bright colors along with “pretty” themes with a hint of unsettling design is perfect.
The song is amazing the video is amazing. And the vibe it all creates is multi facet. It’s beautiful and creepy and I couldn’t love it more
Growing up with Melanie is such a beautiful thing. I first started listening to her album in my transition middle school, then K-12 beginning high school. Now as a Senior about to graduate, this song feels symbolic of all the change that’s happened in what feels like a pivotal time in my life. Thank you Melanie, you are a true artist and we love you. ❤️💕
Why do I relate completely
she raised us 🥹
@lalalove same
TRUE 🙏
Im 11 and love every single song
20M congrats Melanie! 🧚🏼♀️💗
"I show my presence. You ran away in fear of ghosts. I try to talk, the barriers are too strong"
I saw my mom in a dream. I tried to hold her but there's this force like a barrier that pulls me. I kept on reaching her but I just couldn't. I woke up and I couldn't breathe, my chest is pounding. 🥺
As someone who's been listening to Mel during my Pastel Goth days in high school to my now Goblincore and Fairygrunge Era, I'm very happy to see this style from her. Love her creativity and how she makes art and music for everyone who's into that type of stuff.
True ❤
I think ill call this the mystical era
@[ • Chocolate • ] yessss
I love the mystical/spiritual aura this album holds. It’s truly magic. Thank you for birthing this creation into the world, its music cleanses and nourish my soul (and the soul of the collective🥺) so thank youuuu🤍✨
In the middle of watching this music video for the first full time, I felt it hard. I felt that crybaby will never come back. Crybaby is dead, which hits hard, truly, but Melanie is STILL ALIVE!!!
