painfully generic and average

I hated this song then, and I hate it now. Jack really didn't do her any favors by modeling it the same way he modeled The Louvre off of Melodrama. Definitely one of the weaker moments on Lover.

I was not crazy about it on release. It sounded like a Stranger Things reject track to me. But the lyrics really won me over as time went on.

 

“I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost

The room is on fire, invisible smoke

and all of my heroes die all alone

Help me hold onto you.” 
 

It’s incredible! One of my favourite Taylor songs of all time! Easily top 2 on “Lover”. And I used to hate it back when it dropped (and i still remember why - the never dropping beat kinda bugged me but now I really don’t mind it). The BBC One Live Lounge version is even better (mostly because of the production)

It cant be more boring, plus the fact that the vocal timbre and delivery are so vanilla doesn't help...

CRACKED and SPOILED easter egg.

 

One of the few Taylor Swift songs I enjoy. 

it's an amazing song, and I agree that it is like a prequel to Folklore. The lyrics are just really brilliant.

I have to say I absolutely adored it upon release. I thought it was beautifully atmospheric and ethereal. However, I honestly couldn't tell you the last time I listened to it or actively thought about it. From Lover I usually go straight for Cornelia Street, Death By a Thousand Cuts, Daylight, Afterglow, and Cruel Summer (with False God and I Think He Knows every once in a while.) I still consider this a great song but I can understand why it doesn't get the same attention some other track 5s do
