    i think mitski's background of going to conservatory and being classically trained comes through so much in her melodies and chord choices. truly the embodiment of learning the rules so that you can break them

    mitski is my fav lyricist ever. everytime she is interviewed and asked about the meaning of her songs, her explanations are always *chefs kiss*. she's very eloquent. please continue reacting to her.

      @@Luscentalso on the track pink of the night. it's amazing how she twisted the usual meaning of "and i hear my heart breaking tonight." she said something like how people usually associate that to lonely heartbreaks but in the song, she meant it in a way that, have you been so inlove with someone that when you see him, you feel yourself shattering inside? but like in a romantic way and not in a sad way, and i think that's so cool

    In "Nobody" I really like the change of the lyric from "one good honest kiss" to "one good movie kiss." To me, it symbolizes that eventually she doesn't even care if the kiss is part of a real relationship, if the other person actually loves her, she just so desperately longs for a kiss, even if it is a fake "Hollywood" kiss.

    I totally recommend you do an entire mitski journey! It wouldn't be that long given there's only 4 albums left, and i think you should do puberty 2 next! Listen to her discography backwards so you can see how she's grown and evolved

      ​@@Luscentshe announced her 7th album 2 days ago, (The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We) and released a single (Id recommend listening to that single after everything else cuz you can hear her growth and maturity in the song over/after all the other albums.)

    I love how you picked up on the façades throughout because mitski explained in an interview that the ‘cowboy’ represents the outside presentation of confidence and power that this type of character tries to have. She endeavours to ‘be the cowboy’ in the sense that she puts up this wall of almost cartoonish confidence despite her emotional turmoil and vulnerability. Ultimately she can’t fully embody this archetype because it’s idealised, but she still takes it and channels it into the construction of the album as a whole. Loved the reaction!!

      @eduardosilveira6974 9 місяців тому +2

      Yesss, i love this explanation. Plus, the cowboy metaphor is even stronger if you consider that it represents a very masculine and American ideal, both of which Mitski has struggled to conform to as woman and as a first gen asian American. Those themes are very present throughout her discography, especially at her single Your Best American Girl

    Mitski was a cinema (or something like that, I can't quite remember) major before starting to make music! That's why her songs have such good production, she takes a more cinematographic view on music.
    Also her MVs are PERFECT!!! Please react to the MV of Happy it's just awesome.

    This is my favorite Mitski album because it's such a unicorn in terms of song structure, melodies and it's sonically all over the place but I love that about it , it's an experience, the textures are unique too, it jumps from spacious and airy to harsh and in your face ❤her vocals are also mixed with this slap delay that gives really indie rock but musically its a melting pot of genres

    Mitski writes albums in 2s, laurel hell and be the cowboy were pop-based, the two before that were rock and then before that piano/orchestral, so if you continue down the Mitski rabbit hole it'll be interesting to see which of her sounds you gravitate most towards. I think her versatility with genres is one of the best features of her music

    I would 100% watch a whole "series" of you reacting to Mitski's other albums! I also would recommend another artist that is in my opinion in the same realm as Mitski musically and lyrically : Japanese Breakfast. Her albums Soft Sounds From Another Planet and Jubilee are absolute masterpieces and I think you'd enjoy them a lot!

    for me, "old friend" is about a situationship she had with a female friend, maybe in highschool or college, and they weren't out yet, that's why it had to be a secret. very universal queer experience to just be like "ok I'll take anything you want to give me cause I'm lonely and i love you, whether you want to be just old friends or marry me" you know? and maybe it's one of those things like "ok let's pretend nothing happened and just have coffee like we're old friends"
