If you've ever felt like you're starring in your own tragic indie film, this one's for you. Alex G's "Mis" sketches the desolate landscape of a love gone cold. Our protagonist is a romantic underdog, pining away for his beloved, who has clearly shown him the emotional exit. Despite being told there's "nothin' here for you to make right," he can't help but cry out his miss-you-so-bads into the void. Left to his own devices, he reverts to his coping mechanism: creating art out of heartache. While she’s got no time for him, his creativity blossoms under pressure. The song captures that peculiar blend of despair and artistic catharsis, making it an anthem for anyone who's ever turned heartbreak into paint-splattered brilliance. Like a well-worn diary entry set to lo-fi, it's a bittersweet testament to unrequited love and the masterpieces it inspires.
