Life Savers 10 - "Her best lyrics I know that's right." Ampersand13 10 - "Another song I wish I could give an 11 to. Everything flows so beautifully throughout this track. From the anecdotal verses, to the quiet intensity of the chorus, and of course the brilliant bridge and outro sections. I am such a sucker for a story about someone finding true love in the most heartbreaking of circumstances. I adore how Taylor almost sounds annoyed that she's combatted with loving someone. Of course, I don't condone extramarital affairs, but damn does it make a wondrous song." wastedpotential 10 - "This is one of very few Lord hymns where I like the clean version more than the original explicit one. As I've said many times before, I'm not speaking on the lyrics of folklore or evermore songs because they are all beyond my mere mortal brain, and will instead be focusing on the vibes, and the vibes here (especially in the clean version) are glorious. My smooth brain simply can't hope to understand the depths of what this song is about (and no, this is not an invitation for a Gaylor to TELL me what this song is about ddd), but my smooth brain still struggles to work out Her masteful structure here. Is that a third verse, or are there two bridges, and does it matter, or is that above my minuscule paygrade? Because I'd like to identify some moments that made my smooth brain go brrrrrr, and one of those is "clover blooms in the field/spring breaks loose, but so does fear", and I'm not sure if that belongs in the third verse or first bridge? Secondly, does the beautiful "so yeah, it's a fire/it's a violent(/goddamned) blaze in the dark, and you started it" melody belong to the first or second bridge? Taylord, I'm confused, I need your big brain to sort this out for me!" Where are you now? 9.4 - "Objectively the best song on evermore, though personally falls about midway for me. Breathtaking lyrics one can really take to heart if in such a situation. Lyrics paint such a stunning vivid picture from the widow to the blooming clovers to the growing ivy to the g****** blaze."

Brooklyn Baby Posted September 7 Author Posted September 7 Double whammy... many won't like this next one. Quote "I used to think this was the worst on xxxxx, but now it's top 3." "This song is some of her best writing ever. The xxxxx verse is literally bible scriptures." "I've seen quite some praise for this one, don't see the appeal. The pacing of the lyrics is a bit tedious." "Her pen was the moment here. xxxxxxx xx xxx xxxxxxxx xxx.' is a standout line."

So effective and intentionally jarring. Similar to how "This Is Me Trying" was my instant favorite from Folklore, "Cowboy Like Me" was just the same for Evermore. The way Taylor's soft and ever so slightly country tinged vocals pair with Marcus' is, for lack of a better word, orgasmic. If they don't link up again at some point I will forever be a touch disappointed. I also really admire the structure going on here. We go from a verse to a chorus, to an instrumental break, back to the chorus, then a bridge and third verse punctuated by a lovely outro. It's a strange arrangement, especially strange for Taylor, but it serves the story and thus the song perfectly." The Music Industry 11 - "cowboy like me is without a doubt in Taylor's top 5 best songs ever. Her storytelling here is absolutely mesmerizing, weaving a tale of love, hustle and longing with such elegance. The smooth country-tinged melody creates a timeless, unique vibe that remains unmatched in her discog. The song is a true gem, showcasing Taylor's ability to blend classic sounds with modern sensibilities in the most beautiful way. cowboy like me, you will ALWAYS be famous. :heart:" SLUTTVFTV 11 - "This song is some of her best writing ever. The third verse is literally bible scriptures." Forever Winter 11 - "This was the song that made me cry on first listen of evermore. I hadn't even fully grasped the lyrics but the intricate melodies and the production were just *that* beautiful - enough to elicit that reaction out of me. Once I started fathoming the lyrics, this song became an instant top 10 for me in her discography." Achilles. 11 - "I love how this song is a subtle revisitation of the themes and motifs of Ready For It—but vastly improved." sparrowblue 11 - "Her pen was the moment here. Forever is the sweetest con' is a standout line." Where are you now? 10 - "Omg this song is the work of a once every century genius. Gorgeously written and she she needs to work more with Marcus Mumford. I just want to highlight the bridge with the closeted skeletons, swindled old men and lunching ladies because I've never seen anyone give it much love. Went to the eras tour in a fully inspired evermore outfit, including a tank top with 'forever is the sweetest con' lyrics on it." greento 10 - "I used to think this was the worst on evermore, but now it's top 3." 1989 10 - "The coney island - ivy - cowboy like me run on evermore should be studied." Bosque 10 - "She was in her BAG with this album, my god, and this song just epitomizes the entire album." wastedpotential 10 - "I have seen Ratty lyric applications to this song, but I reject them! Rat influence has already tainted my beloved Cardigan (and probably not incorrectly, given that horriffic mouthing stunt they pulled, everyone I know hated that one), and I will stop the spread here and refuse to let it go any further. This is another one where I don't think I have anything to add of merit and one where I know there will be good takes, so I will merely end my thoughts here with a giggle at the fact that Lord knows what the dynamics are like at airport bars despite not having stepped foot in one in many, many years (if ever)."
