I Wait for You

Winter’s breath is crawling through the glass
Silver shadows where the daylight used to pass
He remembers how the sunlight kissed his skin
Every laugh, every warm July
Now he watches frozen streets
With a longing he can’t hide

He’s waiting for the summer
For the warmth to melt the pain
For the colors to return again
But for now, he bears the winter
Through the snow and through the rain
Holding memories like a lantern
In a world of grey and strain

He walks alone beneath the quiet sky
Snowflakes drifting where the green fields used to lie
He hears echoes of a soft warm breeze
From a summer lost to time
But he keeps that faint reminder
Like a promise in his mind

He’s waiting for the summer
For the warmth to melt the pain
For the colors to return again
But for now, he bears the winter
Through the snow and through the rain
Holding memories like a lantern
In a world of grey and strain

She sings through the cold,
“Hold on, the seasons turn again…”
Her voice a fragile spark,
A whisper in the wind
“I’ll meet you in the sunlight,
When the sky begins to glow…”
Her echo fades to silence
As he walks through the snow

He’s waiting for the summer
For the warmth to melt the pain
For the colors to return again
But for now, he bears the winter
Through the snow and through the rain
Holding memories like a lantern
Till the sun returns again
Till the sun returns again

Alex G - I Wait For You

Sometimes, Mitski feels life would be easier without hope, or a soul, or love. But when she closes her eyes and thinks about what’s truly hers, what can’t be repossessed or demolished, she sees love. “The best thing I ever did in my life was to love people,” she says. “I wish I could leave behind all the love I have after I die, so I can shine all this goodness, all this good love that I’ve created onto other people.” She hopes her newest album, The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, will shine love long after she’s gone. That’s precisely how it feels: like a love that’s haunting the land.

“This is my most American album,” she says. The music feels like a profound act of witnessing this country, in all of its private sorrows and painful contradictions. Sonically Mitski’s most epic and wise album, the songs introduce wounds and then actively heal them. Here, love is time-traveling to bless our tender days, like light from a distant star.

It's full of the ache of the grown-up, seemingly mundane heartbreaks and joys that are often unsung but feel enormous. It’s a tiny epic. From the bottom of a glass, to a driveway slushy with memory and snow, to a freight train barreling through the Midwest, and all the way to the moon, it feels like everything and everyone is crying out in pain, arching towards love. Love is that inhospitable land, beckoning and then rejecting us. To love this place, this earth, this America, this body takes work. It might be impossible. The best things are.
