Taylor Swift - 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT'


Recommended Posts

Posted

There are reasons why some artists choose to specify the Writing credit into Lyrics & Music :foxaylove3:A lot of people confuse production for instrumental, when it's actually sitting at a computer and layering all the recorded sounds together. Akin to a editor of a movie, vs the writer of the script.

 

The reason why Folklore & Evermore could come so quickly iirc, was cuz the Music was already done, miss Swift just added Lyrics to it. Look at the IWYW voice memo.

I have a good feeling that my top 5 songs off TTPD (standard) would be:

My Boy Only Breaks His Favourite Toys, Down Bad, I Can Do It With a Broken Heart, I Can Fix Him, and So Long, London.

Doing my Evermore listen through now, & wow Tolerate It is so clearly about Joe. 

The man she's describing sounds exactly like him. His indifference being the OG trait she got attracted to, & the trait that also made her feel Dejeweled. 

 

Hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine

I sit and watch you readin' with your head low

 

The difference in scenery :weeps: it's the only 2 times she's used "head low" to describe someone afaik.

She made it so obvious, in hindsight. Especially with that being T5, instead of CP.

I know she says it's inspired by some book, but let me delulu. It's not like she hasn't lied about lyrical inspirations before, & also applied her own struggles.

Same excuse she used for Death by a Thousand Cuts and look where that ended up

Pretty sure Max Martin takes a percentage of money for the Song writing + a percentage for the production.

 

I think She just don't like this pop machine system. She used when She needed but now She knows She can make pop WW smashes even without that so never going back to this.

 

Do you know there is a Jukebox theater musical with all max martin songs called " E juliet" there Is a huge Broadway and London hit with like 1500 performances and counting

 

This musical uses every big hit made for Britney, Backstreet Boys, Katy, Kelly Clarkson, Céline Dion, Ariana, The weeknd, Kesha and even demi lovato and can't stop the feeling by JT (Martin last big hit before I Imagine they started to write the show debuted in 2019).

 

Basically It has any Martin hit expect for Taylor songs. It's clear they asked her to use the songs but She said no. Probably the swedish guy is mad about it. :suburban:

Well as songwriter She would make Money from that too. Actually the fact She can block the use of these songs prove She Is the owner for most of the 50%.

 

Probably planning her own mamma mia.

Not to defend Jobless or anything but it is hard not to tolerate it when she tells him, "Hey! I write a song for you!" and proceeds to play "MEE-HEE-HEE HOO-HOO-HOO!!!!"
