Cleanromantic Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Wait, I just realised she's drawing hearts in the byline cause he's so much older and wiser and she feels like she's immature next to him. @Klein, you just opened Pandora's box. No wonder she's studied in all those universities 4

vale9001 Posted January 23 Posted January 23 (edited) i really like folkmore albums for the sound, the melodies and everything and I don't hate the lyrics, that for sure. But i prefer her lyrics style on speak now or red. It's more authentic and hers, in a good way populist but also more sophisticated when you need it. Some of the lyrics on folkmore sound so manufactured to sound poetic and more intellectual. Most songs are great for lyrics too but a song like The lakes seems almost a parody. I read some twitter posts from arianators and other fan bases making a joke of her for some of the language in this phase and well i can deny some of the jokes were funny Edited January 23 by vale9001 1 2

Badgalbriel Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Ok, but can we talk about how Evermore (the song) is her best song ever? 1

Tolerate It and This Is Me Trying are both those kinds of songs, where you listen a couple time and if you’ve been there - or were actively in that kind of situation at the time they came out - you kind of just have to stop and think. 2

Where's that man who'd throw blankets over my barbed wire? I made you my temple, my mural, my sky Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life Even the "love" songs about him have an underlying tone of anxiety/ lack of reassurance about them. I wondered if I was reading too much into them at the time but alas I wasn't wrong. Edited January 23 by Mandalore 1
foundwonderland Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Who’s us? I feel like those of us who don’t eat up her narratives could tel these albums came from real feelings. She literally says in folklore prologue the album was based on real life situations and emotions. It’s why I never praised Toe in the past 6 years. He was just another bland guy no one knew nothing about and swifties pretended he was some messiah.
Mandalore Posted January 23 Posted January 23 (edited) Meh I still think it can be both. Like both derived from ficiton/imagination and real life experiences. I'm sure she didn't actually kill someone and let his body drown and the love triangle arc was obviously an imagined mini teenage drama. So for folklore/evermore, I'm sure she did a lot of reading/binge watching movies in quarantine and got inspired. (tolerate it was born from her reading Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier and maybe she saw herself in some parts of it) Edited January 23 by Mandalore 2

wastedpotential Posted January 23 Posted January 23 4 minutes ago, BloodLuster said: tolerate it is cute next to gorgeous, and the gorgeous one is happiness. iygiygi Yes but happiness is about Abigail's flop first marriage and tolerate it is about Taylor, so I think it's understandable that most of us are more compellingly drawn to tolerate it. 3
Klein Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Did I just read tolerate it being compared to Gorgeous or did I just misunderstood? 7
State of Grace. Posted January 23 Posted January 23 The best track 5 stanning here I'm afraid she'll never top it even if TS11 is a break up album! 3
