OH MY GOD BRO I WOULD BE SO PIISSSEEEDDD đ
Honestly I canât really say anything about your opinion, and Iâm not trying to argue, but just try to show you that her songs do have raw feeling and emotions. She just doesnât write about her experiences with her exes, but she puts us as the listener in her shoes the way she describes it. I have never been emotional to a song before, and the only 4 songs I ever felt this way to was âthis is me tryingâ, âall too wellâ, and âpeter/the albatrossâ. Individually these songs tell a story that feels literally SO sacred.
take this is me trying for example-the feeling that youâre falling apart. youâre not the same as you used to be. EVERY time i listen to timt (this is me trying), the lyrics and the way she phrases words are SUCH main details. speaking about how you canât always be the best version of yourself-this song is like a sister of a song named âmirrorballâ, which is almost the same concept except timt is more or less of: âiâm dying, but iâm tryingâ and mirrorball is: âiâm showing you my best version to make you happyâ. itâs honestly hard for me to relate to a song like that because me being me, i hate denying iâm not the most perfect person, and that song just like, wooow. expands my mind
all too well, (10 minute version) is honestly SUCH a beautiful song. it talks about a 3 month relationship that felt sacred, private, and honestly just so holy…and the only reason for this is because the person who this was written for (jake gyllehnahal or however u spell it), had took her sacredness. but it was just out of WANTING to take it, not because he loved her. even though i canât relate to this one in that way, i relate it by losing a person who i thought really loved me, and the way itâs constructed is just so-ugh. she literally uses a SCARF as a metaphor of her innocence-and he does still have that scarf, âbut you keep my old scarf from that very first week, cuz it reminds you of innocenceâs and it smells like meâ…lemme tell u smth, my mom doesnât cry over songs. but when she listened to the full song she came out crying đ-and taylor was only TWENTY ONE when she wrote this song, and it has SUCH beautiful writing and emotion
and lastly, peter and the albatross. iâm doing these combined cuz theyâre both off the same album, but also cuz i canât really like…not, speak about one or the other. peter speaks about a boy (specifically matt healey from the 1975 band?) who can never grow up, and taylor, as wendy from peter pan, was madly in love with. peter always promised wendy to come back…but he never really did-âwords from the mouths of babes, promises oceans deep, but never to keepâ. this line hits SO hard. weâve literally all heard somebody tell us something, but they only said it because they knew thatâs what we wanted to hear. never to keep their promise. and the bridge in this song as well is so beautiful. every time i listen to it i sorta space out because you just feel so connected, so like, idk how to say it đ. after the first time i listened to it, it was very engraved in my mind. last year at my award ceremony when i did my speech (i was class pres), i used a lyric from this song because of how much it meant to me: âloves never lost when perspective is earnedâ, because that is a phrase iâve lived with for a while…iâd honestly really recommend youâd listen to this song, because itâs so heart felt and so like…IDKKK IDK HOW TO SAY IT BRO
but now with the albatross, ANOTHER great song , actually one of my FAVORITES. a lot of tays exes say that they their reputation was ruined due to the fact that they DATED her, (she writes songs, duh!), which debuts the main focus of this song. âsheâs the death you chose, youâre in terrible dangerâ…if you want to date her, hope to god you treat her well or ELSE youâll be thrown under the bus like all the other dudes. but this song is more or else dedicated to joe alwyn (partner of 6 years), and iâll tell you why i think itâs about joe
according to google, âIn one of the most incredible aspects of albatrosses' lives, the fully fledged young birds will spend up to six years at sea before returning to land to find a partner.â taylor spent her youth years with joe-she thought joe was going to be taylorâs love of her life, but ended up being the loss of her life. another reason why i say this is because joe always wanted a private relationship, and she says this in her documentary âmiss americanaâ-like she has a good 5 minutes about joe on there and how her love life with him reflected off of that years album, âreputationâ, of how he was there for her lowest…now, we know that he couldnât be there for her highest. throughout the album ttpd, taylor states that she wanted to be married, and that she wasted her time with joe in the song âso long, londonâ. all of her songs on this album all sorta correlate, but the meaning of this song also engraved in me. when you tie yourself in a relationship with somebody you knew was trouble, itâs hard NOT to be mentioned, and that looks can be DECEIVING. the way she describes herself as this cruel, selfish person is literally such beautiful reiterated that you totally forget that sheâs describing herself as this person whoâs cruel. whoâs DANGEROUS. but after all, they decided to play the game with her-whoâs at fault? but all 4 of these songs are the definition of heart-felt. THESE are the songs that should be shown out more. well written, beautiful, songs. thereâs also so many i wish i could get to but youâd probably stop responding đ€Ł-but to top it off, her top 5 albums that have actually like the best heart-felt songs are
1. evermore
2. ttpd
3. folklore
4. ttpd (the anthology$
5. midnights
like all of these have SUCH good songs…of course, i can get kinda sick of the songs that are overplayed, (i can do it with a broken heart, fortnight, ANTI-HERO đ, CARDIGAN…) but thereâs a reason why theyâre overplayed. cuz theyâre so good…like lowkey when anti-hero hits, the lyrics DO hit…but i am about to listen to the songs you just said cuz i really wanna hear what you feel!!!
