THEY’RE BACK

[evanspillowcase]

[evanspillowcase]

mitski the deal, a song about being so pained by the weight of your emotions that you beg for them to be taken from you and so they leave. They leave and they take the form of a bird who says to you I am the darkness in your soul and I am the light inside your soul and I have left you and now your pain is eased, but you are an empty husk without me and you can no longer feel anything and that’s the deal you made

[evanspillowcase]

my love mine all mine is so devastatingly beautiful… it’s such a simple song (lyrically speaking, at least) but a clear, no-heartbreak confession of love… mitski really hasn’t done love songs without some kind of catch to it but this is really just. i love this person, i don’t care about anything but her, i will love her now and forever, will you make sure she knows i love her so?

i wanna make out with someone in the way this song feels

something i really like about i love me after you is that, while mitski is kind of known for her closing tracks being an emotional gut-punch at the end of every album, this one is hopeful. pearl diver, class of 2013, last words of a shooting star, a burning hill, two slow dancers, and that's our lamp are all super devastating lyrically, whereas i love me after you is about self care and finding love in oneself. she crowns herself king of all the land, despite it being inhospitable

okay very preliminary thoughts on mitski's new album BUT i think there's something with how "laurel hell" felt like a goodbye to the music industry (can't find the source but i remember reading that it was intended to be her last album under her contract) like i'm sorry anthony fantano but if you interpret the back half of "laurel hell" as being generic breakup songs you're missing like 80% of the context. to me TO ME it feels so clearly about her negotiating her relationship with fame, how she can't love her fans the way they love her, and how she feels like she sold her soul to her job, so the only thing to do is step away. but THEN "the land is inhospitable and so are we" was created after mitski decided to renegotiate her contract, specifically because she loved making music enough to deal with the negative aspects of the work. and then all the songs are about the ghost of love she can leave behind, despite the present pain or emptiness, and like. do you see it. do you see it.
