ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted June 16, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted June 16, 2023 HITS DIFFERENT Average score: 6.85 High score: 10 (@a_d_22, @byzantium, @brokee, @Sanguine, @V3$$3L.) Low score: 2 (@MP2K, @Ewan Chaos, @creativity.) Previous boyfriends were interchangeable Ken dolls, easy to move on from, but the latest breakup “Hits Different” for Taylor, who is crying into her drink and still imagines hearing her ex’s key in the door on this speciously spirited singalong. Originally a Target exclusive, it was added to the Midnights (Til Dawn Edition) rerelease and shot into the top thirty of the Billboard Hot 100 after becoming available on streaming services. Best bit: “They say that if it's right, you know/Each bar plays our song/Nothing has ever felt so wrong” ATRL says…: “Wow, she really saved it at the end,” @cockatoo marveled. “I was starting to fall asleep.” @brokee called it “Top 5 from the album.” @a_d_22 reflected that Midnights is “one of Taylor’s weakest albums, yet still my top album of 2022.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted June 16, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted June 16, 2023 I'm still annoyed about "Bigger Than the Whole Sky," but "Hits Different" can go. Very whatever to me. It sounds so young from her, like it's like leftover from Fearless or Speak Now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted June 16, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted June 16, 2023 G3 N15 Average score: 6.85 High score: 10 (@CBC, @MP2K, @State of Grace.) Low score: 2.5 (@creativity.) Amid the global tragedy of the coronavirus pandemic, we all suffered our own personal losses as well. For Rosalía, it was not getting to see her nephew, Genís, for two years. Now that he is almost 11 years old, she wonders what color his eyes are and whether he likes spaceships on this wrenching plea for forgiveness from Motomami. Over a stark organ melody that borders on the spiritual, Rosalía whimpers and wails, contrasting the comforting image of an angel that she sent to guard her nephew with the isolation and depravity she has encountered living in Los Angeles. “G3 N15” ends with a voicemail from her grandmother, who reminds Rosalía that nothing is more important than God and family. Best bit: “Y me toca estar donde no quiero estar/Esto no es El Mal Querer, es el mal desear” ATRL says…: “Ok pipes!? ” @cockatoo exclaimed.

But yeah, there's a lot of emotional nuance on Motomami that people are missing without the lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
