I chose this album because of a particular song on the album called “The Deal” which I talk about in my slides. I’m interested in Mitski’s use of metaphors/similes and way of creating imagery so I hope to learn how to write impactful songs like her. I also wonder where her songs are inspired from and if they come from her real-life experiences.
