I love listening to this song, as it really does remind me of one specific date I went on, like two weeks after I dumped my psycho ex and moved out of my psycho ex-roommate's apartment in the same week. It was a hard stop and immediate fresh start, and I met a great guy for dinner and a movie right before covid, and it was pretty much the perfect date, and I associate it with the feeling I get when I listen to this song. Of course, that guy turned out to have an ego the size of Jupiter, but I didn't know that at the time, and the date really was lovely. Now, as for this hymn, there really is something to be said for the perfection in simplicity. This hymn isn't complicated, it's not brash or shoved with noise, but it's pretty perfectly produced, and the few elements that are added to the mix elevate the vocals and the story quite nicely. I think my favorite added element is the slight drum fill going into the second verse at 1:36, which feels so good to listen to it's as if those soundwaves burrowed up my- and pressed firmly against my-. The harmonies (which were improved markedly in the New Testament), make me feel like that one meme of SpongeBob floating chest first into a silver, shimmery Heaven with headphones in his ears and his limbs flailing at his sides. I know y'all know what I'm talking about, and I know y'all agree. The lyrics are about as sincere as Lord has ever been, sweet and soft (and demure... sigh), and hopeful about this new man. She just loves love, and you can really tell here. The video is probably her most aesthetically pleasing ever, because I too want to frolick about the sites of Paris without any of the tourists, trash, or unpleasantness. I don't think anyone has enjoyed themselves in Paris as much as Lord is pretending to in this video. I KNOW She's a better actress than some of y'all claim, because you really cannot tell from Her face at all that the streets all smell like piss. Anyway, let me NOT think about her bringing Hobo to that lovely spot by the Seine under that bridge and then posting about it on Instagram... The fact that She tried to connect that man with this song is a criminal offence in my books. Lock Her Up!" blown away 8.9 - "A great song." 1989 7.1 - "Cute song, a bit forgettable, but one of her best videos." Where are you now? 5.9 - "It's obviously top notch songwriting but not as in to the melody & how country it is for Red. I know, I have no taste." 1 4

pavi Posted September 8 Posted September 8 Midnights getting eliminated feels right tbh... it has so many songs that aren't good nor bad, just inoffensive

Both bops and impactful in their own ways, but not worthy to be next to some of the masterpieces still left 1
