I'd never really paid it much attention in the Old Testament, but now it's just so present and bright and I thank Her (and yes, I even thank Chris Rowe, spawn of Satan that he may be) for making that choice. Ditto that for the step-down tertian harmony going through the bridge, what a Blessed addition to the hymn that I really never noticed before. I have to wonder if my ears were defective, or if I'd just gotten so used to how I expected "I Almost Do" to sound, and was therefore just consuming and perceiving it as one giant clump of notes and syllables. The New Testaments, if absolutely nothing else, have provided a wonderful opportunity for me and my newly refined ear to go back and retroactively evaluate all of these hymns that I may have missed intricacies in before. sparrowblue 10 - "Was hated on then and now, but still remains top 5 on the album." Where are you now? 5.2 - "Downtempo...pensive...reflective...sometimes boring..." blown away 5.8 - "It's a little whiny, but otherwise it's a decent song." 1989 4.4 - "The drop in quality on Red after the first five songs is wild.

Nein 10 - "This is SUCH a good song yall just dont get it and it shows." Ampersand13 10 - "I really wish people gave this song more of a chance because I genuinely think it's one of Taylor's finest singles. I sometimes think that because so much of Taylor's brand is synonymous with melodrama, that some may find it difficult to discern when she's using histrionics as a storytelling device that's not meant to be taken at face value. It's easy to hear a lyric like "I love you, it's ruining my life" and assume the author is either exaggerating or obscenely theatrical. However, I don't think either is the case in Fortnight. From the moment I heard this song it was clear to me that these overzealous turns of phrases were designed to articulate a delusional state of mind that tricks you into thinking the world is ending when it isn't. It's less about the dramatics of heartbreak and more about defining the line between what happened and what felt like it happened. I think this is such a brilliantly written piece of pop music that audiences were so quick to dismiss. There are times in which I worry that my deep love for Taylor's music makes me, in turn, somewhat rose colored and out of touch, but then I read through some of the takes regarding this song find comfort in the resolution that sometimes people are just wrong. Fortnight is, to me, the best example of precedence impacting the present. Had she not released Fortnight during this specific moment in her career, I think it would have been received differently. I'm not saying inherently better, but definitely differently." wastedpotential 9.1 - "I'd love for Lord and Post to release an "Edit" version like Billie did of HTE that's just the last 40 seconds, because that's all I want to listen to here like 90% of the time." wehavetostan 9 - "The last 45 seconds are the best part of the album." Forever Winter 9 - "EXCELLENT song. Incredibly catchy and love the buildup in the production. I'm glad she tried a different approach to her melodies with this song and you can hear Posty's influence. :jonny:" 1989 8.1 - "This song has grown on me so much, and it's actually a great song to open the era with." SLUTTVFTV 8 - "Not her best lead, but I've learned to like it." Where are you now? 7.9 - "Still don't see what is so great about Post Malone? He didn't add much here imo.
