ENG 2150- Mimesis Writing Exercise

For the writing mimesis exercise, I decided to copy down lyrics of a song. Since there are certain songs/a playlist that is part of my memory, I chose a song that was part of the playlist. The lyrics that I had written down were from the song, “Softly” by Clairo. I chose this song because I have always loved Clairo’s music but also because this was the song that I remembered the most being played from the playlist in my memory. Although the lyrics aren’t really relevant to the memory, I think it was nice to actually listen to the song as I read and wrote the lyrics of the song since it was something that I haven’t really noticed. I think just listening to the song again brought me back to the memory. Since it brought me back to the memory, I think it really helped me with my writing such as I remembered certain details that I did not remember before. As the song is a pretty chill song, I also noticed that I was essentially calm and not in a rush to write.
