album Taylor Swift - 'Speak Now (Taylor's Version)'

[Cruel Summer]

When I tell you I will never be able to rank the songs on this flawless magnum opus masterpiece of a record

 

I can't even pick a single favorite song

what was that video she filmed for then ?!?!?

 

Doesn't look like it fit any vault song

The 'I Can See You' lyric video has a laser grid which would go along with the heist theme. It's also #2 on Apple today's hits playlist

[Klein]

I'm obsessed with Castles Crumbling. I can't even go back to any other song for the moment.

This is such a swiftian melody and lyrical twist I can't believe she hid it for 13 years: 

On a crowded street in 1944
And you wеre headed off to fight in the war
You still would've been mine
We would have been timeless
I would've read your love letters every single night
And prayed to God you'd be coming home all right
And you would've been fine 

 

In the fifteen hundreds off in a foreign land
And I was forced to marry another man
You still would've been mine
We would have been timeless
I would have read your love letters every single night
And run away and left it all behind

 

you don't know how much I've been missing her Swiftian twists, the only one we've really gotten in the past four original albums is The Last Great American Dynasty. She should bring them back a bit

[touchofmyhand]

Hold AWN even Dear John TV is devouring  Are Mine and Sparks Fly the only stinkers?

[réveuse]

It is finally here.

 

 

[Dear Reader]

OH I CAN SEE YOU IS ABOUT TAYLOR LAUTNER ISNT IT??

And we kept everything professional
But something's changed, it's somethin' I, I like

 

WEREN'T THEY FILMING A MOVIE TOGETHER WHEN THEY MET?

[P!NK2LOVE]

OVERWHELMED OMG

 

1. Pretty much all the OG tracks were enhanced (although Mean’s instrumental and The Story Of Us’ chorus sounded weird!)

2. The vault. Omg. 
- ET: a bop! Very 2010s but in a good way!!

- WEFIL: holy motherfuck. I will ride for this song until the day I die. AMAZING storytelling and that MELODY?! Are you KIDDING. Instantly in my top 20 Taylor songs of all time I’m so serious. 
- ICSY: it’ll grow! But not what I was expecting. 
- CC: love their voices together! Very deep!

- FO: will use this as my compass to avoid going back to any toxic situationship/relationship! 
-Timeless…. Now here’s the thing. This is a ******* classic. Joining Emma in my Swifite top 20!

 

And good LordTtttt at Better Than Revenge. She said lemme serve C U N T 

[Maroon legacy]

Mine - YES GIRL SO GOOD 
Sparks Fly - well... that's fine 
Back to December - we're good 

Speak Now - YEAH 
Dear John -Fire 
Mean - that's good 
The Story Of Us - yeah fun I guess  (that "next chapter" is so good) but still feel like we were robbed for real vocals on here
Never Grow Up - soft and nice  ironacally, this song is growing on me mow
Enchanted - YEAH FIRE 
Better Than Revenge - This song is FIRE  but new lyric sounds awful tbh 
Innocent - well that"s not as boring as in og  I might even will stop skiping it now
Haunted - GIRL WHAT IS THAT INSTRUMENTAL AND WHAT IS THAT VOCALS AAAAAAAAH 
Last Kiss - So better so sadder help 
Long Live - YAASSS SMASH
Ours - cute 
Superman - cute but who cares 

[Vault]
Electric Touch - what a bop 
When Emma Falls In Love - so lovely 
I Can See You - OH SO SEXY  also, I Know Places vibes
Castles Crumbling - oh what a bore still better than ed floppan collab on red tv though
Foolish One - not her calling me out like that  but the song is cute overall
Timeless - Omg I can't  so good

So, Red Vault >> Speak Now Vault >> Fearless Vault

I Can See You is my fave I guess, but overall I liked the album and re-recording. Now let's wait for a MV.

[MidnightsAtPeace]

wait, am i the only one who thinks that the intro of timeless sounds like come in with the rain? 

[réveuse]

Listening at 2AM in the morning even though I should have been sleeping

I think this one had the least amount of vocal moments/small details in delivery where I was like "aw I miss how she did that in the original" out of all 3 re-recordings. Which has totally taken me by surprise because I was expecting to come out with dozens of them as this is my fave album. The only major ones for me are in the Last Kiss bridge where you can hear a quiver in her voice, small bits in Sparks Fly and the delivery of "how I hope they shine" in Long Live.

 

I am so pleased because you can really hear how intentional and considered she was in her treatment of these hymns.  

the only minor one I'd add is the lack of venom in her voice during the Mean bridge where she's spouting insults nnn  But otherwise you're right. Thank god there's no WEE Are Never Ever... moments here

You know what? He's hot enough for this to make sense.

[mael]

The way She nearly aped the entirety of Drop Of Jupiter's melody on 'Emma' 

 

[Great Username]

'Cause when Emma falls in love

She's in it for keeps

She won't walk away

Unless she knows she absolutely has to leave

And she's the kind of book that you can't put down

Like if Cleopatra grew up in a small town

 

She really just wrote down any random combination of words that came to Her head for this one. Kind of love it though.

I just know that her next album is going to be an Ivy/ last great American Dynasty love child, so we are about to get more swiftian twist choruses 

[Gladiator]

It is so nice listening to this album again. I stopped listening to it after her voice matured (Fearless stolen as well) and it was the album I was most anticipating her TV release for since it was an album I listened to a lot back then and its been a while since I listened to it. 

[Hunter_13]

Now why did she hide Timeless from us girl the tears

This! That's the ONLY complain I have with the re-recording. And unlike Fearless and Red TV, I have been obsessively listening to the OG up until this morning. 

[touchofmyhand]

Why does it sound like someone is sweeping the floor during the bridge of Dear John?  
 

Edit: the chorus too.

[vale9001]

After 3 listens the only vault tracks i really like Is Electric touch. Like feels fresh and different from the material of those years.

 

The rest a couple forgettable, a couple cute with the production trying to make them more cool of what they are.

Castel crumbling remembers Dirti by Johnny cash as concept, Hayley is really good on it but nothing special overall. 

 

I don't think there is a track deserves the of tracklist, She made right choices at the time.

[yuta]

It's 10x better

[Ms. Togekiss]

Foolish ones and timeless are okay. I can see you and electric touch clear the other vault songs
