Mitchusson first posted the video back in September, but the clip is getting new life after a Reddit user(external link), who expected it to be "silly" found it to be "really, really well done."
The song's dark aggressive lyrics take on a new dimension when expressed solely though Mitchusson's expressive hands.
Her face and body perfectly capture the song's dark and aggressive tone.
"I have a deep love for interpreting music and would love to share more as I am always interpreting music," said Mitchusson in a comment posted after her clip went viral.
She promises to upload more videos like it soon.
