I'm nervous I didn't want to upset anyone. I really did not like some of the clunky lyrics, but I'm sure there are spectacular ones, i just can't remember word by word.

was there not a single line that impressed you to the point that it stuck in your head? i thought you like the songs or sumn?

Listen to the inspiration for Clara Bow as a palate cleanser for this thread. 
 

Mabel Normand was a silent film actress that Stevie wrote about as a parallel to her life.

I didn't hear Clara Bow. I think it's a reference to Joe and then she switches it up in the second verse. It's a plot twist.

not "it's a plot twist" girl it's a song  :suburban:

Midnight Rain is obviously about someone she knew pre-fame. She wasn't chasing fame with Calvin, she was at her peak (1st peak in hindsight) but still. I'm also inclined to think it's someone not famous who is now leading a normal, married life.

 

The song reminds me of that line in Fifteen "Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday but I realized some bigger dreams of mine".  If this music thing hadn't worked out, she could see herself being with this person and taking a different life path. 

Yeah, it's almost certainly about Drew Dunlap (Tim McGraw Drew, not TOMG Drew), her first real boyfriend with whom there are unconfirmed rumors she was hooking up with over the years until he got married :gaycat4:

I remember she repeats the title track a lot "Tortured Poets Department, yeah" about x4 per chorus

on tumblr actually i found these clara bow lyrics

 

you got that daydream nation look in your eyes
I got that pent up love thing that you like

You've got that long brown hair thing that I like
You've got that good girl faith thing, ass so tight
And we go crashing down, we come back every time

lmao this is giving when the Midnights lyrics were leaking on that website but half were fake, and one of them (I can't remember which) was literally Teardrops on my Guitar but with Jesus references :deadbanana2:

So are we gonna ask why that user had to switch to a dupe? :suburban:

So that he can claim it wasn't him when the lyrics are wrong?:suburban:

Our Song and Should've Said No would've been a perfect 2 track run to represent debut during the Eras Tour :gaycat6: 

Bad Blood into Should've Said No into Our Song into surprise songs is a hill I am prepared to die on. Would barely have added 5 minutes to the show. :gaycat7:

the clara bow lyrics sounds really fake. Dynastee you have to write to ChatGPT "write taylor swift lyrics of a song called Clara Bow. Don't mix 2008 taylor swift lyrics"

Y'all I just asked ChatGPT to write a song about Clara Bow by Taylor Swift, and one of the lyrics is "a silent screen queen, a timeless grace.” Either Taylor's writing has become predictable, or, well…

The way I advised our insider to come up with a memorable turn of phrase and she cooked up "the lyrics aren't all bad.” Exceeded expectations! Her mind! :jonny5:

I'm only okay with entertaining fake insiders when we're obviously making fun of them. Some of y'all need to get it together!

imo the most suspicious thing is that among these "potential singles" not present neither MBOBHFT nor Down Bad. Usually her 1-4 tracks are the most lit part of the album with maximum of a 1 skip. You can't tell me that after lead single/opener and a title track she will immediately go to experimental not commerical sound twice and then straight into track 5 :thing:

Spoiler

I may have already ratted out that dupe stunt because I feel the need to make reparations for how long this base turned a blind eye to Steve Johnson's lazy dupe stunt

 

So, I fear we won't have too much longer to make fun of the insider :coffee2:

Apparently they were dropped and he was innocent and is living a happy life rn but still...NOT the same Drew. :gaylorcat2:

i didn't get why you fell for someone saying track 1 sounds evermore, tracks 2 sounds all too well. Very reputation :nuts:

Anyway, I'm midway through my Debut experience (six hours late but what can I do about that nnn) and I just cannot wait for Mother Mary's Hymn (Oh Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah) to get its TWILY moment. Lets get it booked on TSITP season 3 and lets get it booked for TikTok payola :gaycat4:

WaiT. Lemme spend the day listening to the debut bible. It's only 30 plays away from becoming my 13th most played album. :jonny5:
 


Gods. I spent the last few days listening to nothing but Dolly Parton (195 consecutive plays!). Yeehawlor sounds SO GOOD right now. :jonny5:

Oh wait that's good for him (I guess? :gaycat6:), I will admit that I hadn't followed the case closely. I will say that I'm very, very relieved Taylor is scot free of having any associations with someone convicted of such crimes:gaylorcat2:
