blown away Posted September 8 Posted September 8 Not WCS, that song is a masterpiece. John Mayer was (and still is) trash with mediocre music, the only positive thing is that every song that Taylor wrote about him is sooooo good. 1
ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted September 8 ATRL Moderator Posted September 8 Why WCS was the track from Midnights to make it the farthest is beyond me... Great song but the album has better cuts in my opinion 6

In addition to that, I think the long pond version of this song is truly a work of God.

holyground13 Posted September 8 Posted September 8 Aw poor Mirrorball! Such a gorgeous song truly. She was in her bag in the vocal arrangements department particularly with that and Seven. Also that red carpet look is like her best ever. Though other than being a Mirrorball dress it doesn't remind me of the song, the song gives me whimsical gazing in a field imagery. 2
