Every song of K-12 I listen to I'm like "okay this one's my favorite"

Like, I wanna listen to the other songs but I can't stop listening this one

this song really hits different when you’re on the swings 💀

This song is so calming in comparison to the other songs. I believe that’s why the song is titled, “Recess”. It’s a song that gives us a break from all the craziness and chaos in the rest of the album. The same way recess in elementary school gives children’s minds a break from the stress of school.

“I should be happy, but I can't get out of my bed” I can relate all too much

i swear if this song doesn’t play at a high school dance- edit: I found the clean version kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYmvf4yIjrWknbs

“But I can’t get out my bed” *I’m sure someone relates to this....*

I swear, this girl is the most underrated singer EVER, her songs are godly. She needs to be noticed more! I literally had a whole Melanie Martinez phase that lasted 2 years. She has such a beautiful voice, she makes the best songs. Thank you Melanie

This Is Probably The Most Calm Song In K-12, To Be Honest.

Unpopular Opinion: This is the best song in K-12. Edit 7 months later: Alright yall are right, the whole album is underrated.

Reminder 1 . Don't let them fuck you Reminder 2. Don't let them try Reminder 3. Don't let them hurt you Reminder 4. If you need a break someone will take your place Reminder 5. People are gonna tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes.

6/26/20 7:00pm, im currently listening to this song on my way to my graduation ceremony. i’ve made so many memories with my friends, teachers, family, etc. its been fun, but now i must move on. feeling thankful 💕

I think Melanie is undervalued, she loves her fans like nobody else, and her songs are, literally, amazing.

Can someone explain to me how I am supposed to choose between the movie and the album?

Idk why, but Melanie's music makes me feel safe. Her voice is comforting and the messages behind her words are beautiful.

K-12 *releases* Everyone: let's get Crybaby on the billboard charts K-12: what about me?!

This one has less views. Its underrated and I think it's the best. I mean the whole album is the best but like this one is more nice you know.

This song does not deserve to be the one with less views...

HOW IS THIS ALREADY A YEAR OLD WTF MELANIE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I'm listening to this while slaying a cow in Minecraft

Y’all deserve prison time for letting this beautiful track be the least popular

Mad Hatter: Who are you? Recess: I'm the exact opposite of you

In the ‘Wheels on the Bus’, there was a ‘Class Fight’ that’s so bad that ‘The Principal’ had to intervene. We missed the ‘Show & Tell’ and one had to go to the ‘Nurse’s Office’ because of this fight. Despite this, we were able to have our ‘Drama Club’ class; however I ate a ‘Strawberry Shortcake’, and the ‘Lunchbox Friends’ drank ‘Orange Juice’, leaving the three of us in ‘Detention’ because of that stupid and uptight ‘Teacher’s Pet’. We saw the ‘Highschool Sweethearts’ and we waited ‘till ‘Recess’ so we can go out of this classroom. Luckily, at least we went out of detention because of a ‘Fire Drill’.

“Don’t let them hurt you” her songs have cured my self hate. She has no idea how much her songs help people. I appreciate her so much.

This sounds like something id hear in heaven with wooden swings and bushes and flowers

"People gonna try to tell your fine" I relate to much my mom laughed at me when I asked to be tested for depression

My therapist approves of Recess lmao Edit: thanks for the likes!

me and my friend had the greatest idea ever so basically like 1 year ago before corona it was not uniform day so ee all decided to have a melanie martinez day! so we all came in really cute outfits (melanies merch) and our lunch boxes said “abc” in those bloxes and in our lunch we all had orange juice (we saw someone on tik tok make melanie martinez orange juice so we bought it coz it was their merch) we also did that cool handshake sorta thing crybaby does with the girl on the table in lunchbox friends at lunch (everone was confused af) we also all did the orange juice tribe dance in k12 then after school we all vibed to most her music on the way to my friends house coz we were gonna watch k12 (we did) (10 out of 10 would recommend and try again) (BEST DAY EVER!)

*welcome to the most underrated song of this album*

this one and wheels on the bus gives me a warm feeling inside me, such a bop.

hey! you found the lyrics guy! I was too young to see the truth In my grandma's lap, I'm drowning in her perfume Too naive to even care 'Bout the words she whispered while she brushed out my hair People gonna say If you need a break, someone'll take your place People gonna try To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes (Just remember) Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh Don't let them try (ooh) Don't let them hurt you, baby Just say, "Recess, I'm tired" Sittin' in my room, looking at all I've done Everything I wanted has come to fruition I should be happy but I can't get out my bed Stressin' 'bout the voices screamin' inside my head People gonna say If you need a break, someone'll take your place People gonna try To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes (Just remember) Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh Don't let them try (ooh) Don't let them hurt you, baby Just say "recess, " I'm tired Where is my time? Gone in my mind Gone, I can't find Euphoria When I get upset I think in my head "I do as she says" People gonna say If you need a break, someone'll take your place People gonna try To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes (Just remember) Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh Don't let them try (ooh) Don't let them hurt you, baby Just say "recess, " I'm tired

"in my grandma's lap and drowning in her perfume" hit me hard, I miss her🥲 but two years later and I'm still listening to this song, it never gets old

"If you need a break, someone'll take your place." As a scholar, the pressure my parents put on me is insane, and what the fuck, this song just resonates with me so much.

This really fits for a prom dance i mean the beat is so satisfying it makes u wanna dance slowlyy

This song is so underrated 😢😢

i want this to be the first song my child ever hears. its so powerful & an amazing message.

“I should be happy but I can’t get out of my bed” I relate

this song makes me want to be a better person, idk why

“Don’t let them try” Yeah I won’t let them try me because I’ll throw them out the window

Anyone still around?? ❤

Every class in school: Me: *"Recess,i'm tired."*

I have school tomorrow and I just finished the movie. I’m-💀 I have like 4 test

*This song hits different when you're in recess*

I feel like this song is so underrated and listening to it gives me chills every time

Melanie: I don’t need autotune. *Autotune needs me*

k-12 is really the best album of the year. how can yall even chose ONE fav song? all of them are my favs :(

all dislikes are from kelly and leo

"I should be happy, but I can't get out of bed". I felt that...

This song makes me feel nostalgic. Some parts of the lyrics make me feel like melanie is reflecting on her past. Like moving on to a new chapter in your life.

dont tell me people are actually sleeping on this masterpiece.....

i love this song , it makes me feel happy , relaxed , by some reason reminds me not to worry and take a break, and its just beautiful. 🥰

Second verse, sitting here crying in my leavers hoodie. Didn't get a prom dress to cry in, thanks covid

Who else is crying while listening to the album?!?!?

Its probably not about this but, not only is this my fave song ever but it speaks alot it me. As someone with ADHD and acts really childish and stupid at times... any critique or negative comment makes me really upset and sometime's I get random bursts of anger... The "recess, I'm tired" genuinely helps me, it reminds me of my fave thing to do... play and relax.... thanks mele 💛

As a real crybaby it triggers me when someone says "Im A cRybAbY My fAvOUriTe SoNg Is PLaY dAtE fROm tiKTOk " LIKE IIDCBK JNIDVNDI GURL I KNOW EVERY MELANIE SONG AN I MEAN IT MY FAVS ARE ORANGE JUICE,RECESS AND TRAINING WHEELS *question of the day*-whats ur fav melanie song

i hope someone will understand how in love w this song i am, and how emotional it makes me like everytime i listen to it

“Drowning in my grandmas perfume” Bro I really fell that

“Drowning in my grandmas perfume” I felt that 😔

this song makes me so emotional honestly. i had to recently say goodbye to my cat for the last time since she was being put down that day and i had to go to school, i listened to this song on the way to school and i was holding back streams of tears. i miss my baby so much,

This song totally represents what I'm going through at the moment I have listened to melanie since I was 7 and every time I listen to her songs my spirits lift

If this song slapped me, I would say thank you.

I love that beat at the hook part... I’m still waiting for the fire drills cause it’s literally a BOP SONG

I’ve found this song has become a lot more revenant lately and it’s been my source of comfort and way to cope with it, I’m so happy this exists

this song helps me when i have really bad mental breakdowns

People in the comments: omg why is this the least popular?!!1!1 Fire Drill: *am I a joke to you*

I PAUSED DOIN HW FOR THIS. WORTH BEING SLEEP DEPRIVED!!!!IM CRYING

thank you for this beautiful song Melanie

I broke the replay button

As someone who tries to lead with depression... wow

by far the most underrated song on the album

My non-crybaby friend said that K-12 music was for kids me: lol

Melanie is proof that when an artist actually puts the time and effort into their work it actually comes out good. Unlike some other artist that made a movie giving movies made by artists a bad rap even though it came out long after this movie 😥😥

As someone who struggles with depression and has to take a lot of mental health breaks to keep going, this song really resonated with me. Saying that it’s okay to take a break, to take a recess, is important 💕. The scene in the movie really resonated with me too. All of those students being forced to do something they didn’t want to do by being forced to dance. They all say they can’t keep going, that their legs are so tired. Feels a lot like when you’re burnt out and depressed but you have to keep going because that’s what society expects of you. Such a powerful message to say it’s okay to call for a break 👏🏻

when she says "just remember" something happens to my heart

i havent listened to this song for a long time since release- today, 3 years later, i relate to every single line

It's been exactly a year since this masterpiece was released :')

When i showed my grandma this song she said “Melanie’s music is just like Minnie mouse saying the f word” couldn’t describe it better

"my feet is hurting, i cant do this anymore"

i can't believe it's been 1 year since K-12 came out! time flies...

Everyone: this song is the worst one Me, knowing this song is my favorite: 👁👄👁

Have you ever started crying because someone's vocals were so pretty? That was me a few seconds into the song.

1 year later and im still obsessed with the movie and songs

STOP HOW IS THIS SONG ALREADY 2 YEARS OLD

"I was too young to see the truth" I felt that

Recess is an underrated bop. the message, lyrics, melody, music, all of it, it's just perfection. my fave from the album

this is my favorite song in k-12 it reminds me to just not get overworked and it reminds me that everything will be alright because everything has its place in the universe and that things don't just happen because they happen they're for a reason big or small

I love how calm this song sounds but its put to an intense scene in the actual movie

“People gonna try to tell you that your fine with dollars in their eyes” cuz money doesn’t buy happiness😕

when this song was playing it the movie all i was like was just: ‘i wonder how that would feel. like, not moving by your own accord?’

This whole song makes me think about how I saw one specific moment in different parts of my life. At the moment I was just a kid, I had gum tangled in my curls, I was crying, not understanding why things were good for my classmates and so bad for me (undiagnosed ADHD and Autism) wondering what did I ever do to deserve being hit and laughed at. My mom was taking the gum out with ice and a curly hair brush. Telling me to not let them mess with me, to not give them attention and just prove them that I’m better than their weird childish obsession with making me suffer. At 13 I realized that it wasn’t my fault, they were making fun of things I couldn’t change, I remembered that moment in a deja vu, I was sitting in the bathroom while my mom would help me take off all the leaves that got stuck in my hair when they threw me in a pile of leaves and dirt. She’d tell me to not let those stupid behaviors hurt me, because if I’m hurt, they win. If I cry, I’m giving them exactly what they wanted all along. If I hide, I make them more powerful than me. And that’s not what we want, right? At 16, now, I understand what that “we” means. A generational trauma caused by bullying and undiagnosed ADHD. My mom was bullied her whole life. And so did my grandma. And her mom. And the story just repeated itself for ages. I, shamefully, did the same thing to my younger cousins before I understood how this behavior can be toxic and harmful, making us force ourselves to be “stronger than our bullies” by not showing emotions and ignoring them and trying to convince ourselves that if we ask for help, they “win”. Telling them that they should prove themselves better than their bullies, all while doing the stupid tradition of taking stuff out of their hairs. I hope I’m being able to reverse that and break the chain of generational traumatized ADHDs

If this girl somehow turns into an immortal alien I will be fine with it as long as she still makes music

i love you soo much, i just watched the film and i cried, it's so meaningful to me

Piggyback: Who are you? Recess: I'm you but with a movie

an era i will never forget.

Am I tripping or did the thumbnail changed to "rip crybaby"

I love how K12 has such a huge contrast with Crybaby but I love how some songs on this album would totally mesh with songs from Crybaby. Like this totally reminds me of Training Wheels and I looooovve it so much.

Court session: **Exists** Judge: Recess, I'm tired.

A Melanie é tão perfeitaa

yall should try listening to this with rain in the background under your pillow then lay your head on the pillow, it sounds exactly like a VHS tape

melanie: sittin' in my room, looking at all i've done me: *doing my homework and trying to see how much i've done* yo hoLD UP-
