Melanie Martinez - Recess [Official Music Video]

Recess: I wish I wasn’t so underrated.
Show & Tell: Can’t relate.

People: You can’t make a lullaby with curse words!
Melanie: *hold my sippy cup*

Mel's style: 🧸🩷🧚🏻‍♀️🐰🌸🍭🌈
Mel's lyrics: 💀❤️‍🩹👹

Still will be one of my favorites. I am just glad she didn’t delete any of her old songs and instead just changed the thumbnails to “RIP Crybaby” 💗

Crybabies friends: Omg where is she?
Crybaby: I'm singing the song duh.

**People won't Dance**
Principal's son: *So anyway I started controlling*

"you can't make a lullaby with adult and realistic situations stuff"
Melanie: *hold my sippy cup and my orange juice*

if this song is about remembering to take breaks, then the title “recess” makes so much sense. it’s mind blowing. she’s a genius.

The way he screamed “DAAAAAAAANCE” was so satanic. 😂

*„And this kids is how Just dance was created.“*

Almost everyone else: you cannot make a fricken lullaby with curse words in it.
Melanie: Hold my orange juice.

This song deserves more recognition.

Why nobody talks about this song? It's so chilling and dreamful

Imagine coming to this dance for the free food and then you're forced to dance like

Lyrics:
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"

This song is so underrated and it’s such a shame. The whole production is beautiful. Her vocals in the beginning, the echo of the “just remember”. Goosebumps every time.

Every album has to have a ballad! And this one is beautiful

Guys stop saying melanie needs the grammys
*the grammys needs her*

This whole song feels like a fever dream...

This song is so chilling and is like a lullaby for me to sleep

this song is criminally underrated

melanie: recess music video
me: **pretending that I haven't see the film 50 times** :OOOO

How is possible she wasn't nominated to the Grammys , she deserves at least 1

I will never get over the fact that this video has only 6 million views compared to the other k-12 MVs that have more than 20 mil 😭 recess is so underrated

Mel's style : 🧉👄💄💅 Mel's lyrics : 💀❤️‍🩹👹

SO EXCITED FOR "AFTER SCHOOL" EP🤧🤧🤧.

Melanie: Recess music video
Me the second it's here: IM COMING

"just remember" OMG THE VOICE OMG

How is this song soooo underrated, it sounds so pretty, and Mel's vocals-

No one:
Literally no one:
Realy no one:
Leo: DANCEEEEEEEEEEEE

One of the best songs she’s made to date.
Getting over depression is actually so god darn difficult.

Angelita : Where is crybaby
Her singing in the background : 😐👁👄👁

STOP SHE NEEDS A MOVIE BASED ON WHAT THIS WAS

Melanie: "if you need a break, someone will take your place"
*that hit me hard*

NEXT: "FIRE DRILL"

Mel’s style:🌈🍄🌈🍄🌷
Her lyrics:👹👺

Bro this song is so underrated it so good 😭

In the start of the movie, melanie walks into a room with a load of ghosts dancing. That is literally what would of happened here if those ppl kept on dancing. And when Melanie sneezes, all the ghosts walk towards her, as that door opening is them finally getting to escape. The principals son says “dance until u die” that is a literal representation of what could of happened here. Or, this could of already happened in another dimension where Melanie and her friends didn’t save all those kids. They died and are then stuck in that room. Melanie then goes to the school and the whole thing happens, this time, she saves them and they don’t end up stuck there forever ; in the middle of all that, she sees the past people who got stuck in that room. This is all just a theory, none of it is actually the storyline or intended by Melanie. But I’m so bored in quarantine, I came up with it.
Edit- thanks so much for the likes and comments ppl, never gotten this many but tysm
2nd edit- damn I mean 3.5k like tysmmmmm

This song is so beautiful, I love the way she says “Recess, I’m tired” it’s sad that this is one of the least popular songs-

The principals son: DAAAAANCE Melanie: aesthetically singing magnolia,Celeste,fleur,Angelita worrying abt crybaby:

*Unpopular Opinion:* This Is One Of The Best Songs On The Album.

The most underrated song of this album.

Hear this song while it rains = perfection

her friends: dancing and talking because they are confuse
cry baby: girl can u keep it down I'm trying to sing here!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Melanie just makes creepy songs”
Melanie: *think again.*

Recess is an absolute masterpiece. Her vocals are on point, and so is the choreography! This has filled me with inspiration

unpopular opinion: recess is the best song on the album.

Nobody:
My mum when i go hang out with my guy friends: 1:06

I literally can't believe how gorgeous Melanie's voice is.

Letra
I was too young to see the truth

When Melanie releases her new Album let's all together try to blow the upcoming musicvideos up, so they go trending!!! 😻😭

Uma das melhores partes do filme

imagine melanie freaking martinez singing you a lullaby.
i would fall asleep before she says *ANYTHING*

Can we just take a pause to appreciate the wardrobe of k-12 like 😗👌🏽

I love the detail in this, the songs beat is a waltz and the music video is about a waltz. the song is about not being able to take a break, and in the storyline the students cannot stop dancing.

story: it was raining when i was walking in a field with my bestie and this came up on my playlist. we were walking and found a nice spot, we stat down and the soft breeze swept me away. i closed my eyes and just sang.

the nurses office: reminds me of how much "im tired of wishing i was ditching"
lunchbox friends: reminds me of all my fake friends
orange juice: makes me feel better about my body
recess: makes me sleepy
melanie martinez: makes me happy, cry, sleep, feel better.

Your average British human:
"It's called playtime/break time."

we *need* to talk more about this masterpiece!

I haven't listened to this song in so long and Im honestly about to cry I miss it so much

How many music videos do you want uploaded by this week?
Melanie Martinez: YES

recess lyrics 💵💤
i was too young to see the truth
in my grandma’s lap, i’m drowning in her perfume
too naive to even care

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
don’t let them hurt you, baby
just say recess, i’m tired
sitting in my room, looking at all i’ve done
everything i’ve wanted has come to fruition
i should be happy, but i can’t get out my bed
stressing bout the voices screaming 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
where is my time, gone in my mind
gone i can’t find euphoria

back to what she said

Crybaby’s friends are so beautiful I swear to god

I can imagine one of those students that is being forced to dance with the person he/she hates the most XD

The way she snapped as usual, she’s so powerful 😪💗

I'm so glad this album was prominent in one of the most memorable times of my life, brings back soft memories at every listen (before Corona came and messed it all up). *What a damn masterpiece!*

Happy birthday Mel! I hope its one full of love and happiness 🎊🎉🌟💗

The most underrated song in K-12. I love this sm.

Melanie singing like an angel
But me singing Like a dying goat

THANK YOU FOR CREATING THINS MELANIE

in the middle of night going to sleep with this song

Crybabies friends:”We need to stop this,” “I can’t do this anymore,” “Where”s Crybaby?!”
Melanie:No shhh we just gotta let the song finish before we continue shhh

Melanie: sings beautiful without autotone
Autotone: *wait that's illegal*

The Principal: Makes me think about how much I hate school
Lunchbox Friends: Makes me think about the idiotic "popular girls"
Teacher's Pet: Makes me think about PLL
High School Sweethearts: Makes me want to have a boyfriend that would follow all those rules
Recess: Makes me sleepy

Essa merecia mais conhecimento 😢

happy birthday mel hope you have a great time ❤

Melanie: Ehh its fine, just leave it like that

Leo: *_DANCE_*
Me: Dude chill IM TRYING TO LISTEN TO RECESS HERE DONT RUIN IT :(

If this song doesn’t play at my wedding I’ll actually cry

i was watching where the cast was talking about k-12 and when i found out the actor who player Fleur was trans you should have seen the smile on my face, i just love how Melanie accepts everyone 😭❤️

BUT I WONT FORGET when everyone said “show and tell” was their least favorite before it was released and then now that it’s out it’s everyones Favorite like keep talking 🙃

Prediction for next movie:
Kelly is not going to be mean anymore.

Melanie Martinez deserves a Grammy

this song feels like a warm hug. it's so comforting.
