Achilles. 10 - "Feel like this also could have been a modest hit under the right circumstances." wastedpotential 10 - "My favorite song on faithlore changes probably once a week, if not more frequently, just depending on how I'm feeling and what I'm thinking about myself and others. Right now, I think this is my favorite song for this week, and the only reason it doesn't have the 11 is because other songs will get rated less fairly and need that buffer, and I know this is pretty beloved, and so that's not really a concern of mine now. The extended metaphor here is not for everyone, I can certainly admit that. However, for the people it IS for, it's so special and masterfully crafted, that it could truly only be the work of a Wordsmith. The first verse into the chorus, with the subtextual dual meanings behind basically everything is... a lot and took me a long time to really get. "Spinning in my highest heels, luv", to me is a flashback to the 2021 BRITS and the new hair debut, the night things really felt like they were changing for the better and we were truly past the covid-induced promo gap (also probably when things first started to falter with Hobo after their covid reconciliations, but that's a digression. At the same time, there's the thoughts of being a million things to a million people in an effort to please them all that's doomed to fail, something that definitely speaks to me. The bridge exceeds even Taylor's most stringent standards, and shoots the song from the greatness tier to the God-tier. I feel like I'm rambling incoherently, and this is the final entry I'm writing and it's way past 2:30 am, so I'm just going to call this done now and hopefully dedicate more time and energy to writing these up next time! That said, I really wish this one had a moment on tour. I think that would be really special. At the same time, this being the first surprise song of the entire tour is so ******* iconic and I wouldn't change that for anything. In addition to that, I think the long pond version of this song is truly a work of God. Whatever effects they had playing in the background (that wall of shimmering and waving sounds?) is peaceful and tranquil and fits the soundscape incredibly well. This is another enduring Taylor classic written from a niche perspective with mass applicability and universality. She was really good at pulling that off during the folkmore era. Anyway, Praise the Lord!" sparrowblue 10 - "Jack gets an ounce of acknowledgement on this track." Where are you now? 9.9 - "Gifted from the heavens down to this insufferable undeserving squalling fandom. Random but it's ingrained in me that the verses are the chorus and vice-versa." Peroxide 9.7 - "One of the most tender, vulnerable moments on the album." SLUTTVFTV 9.5 - "The secret supermodel of folklore.

NewStanner Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 mirrorballah is great obviously, but then again there are a few better folklore tracks that got kicked out earlier so I can't really complain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holyground13 Posted September 8 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forever Winter Posted September 8 Author Share Posted September 8 Song #23 coming up... Quote "The concept of this song is so unique and special and powerful." Quote "Transcendent and sublime."

Cruel Summer Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Honestly, I do think Mirrorball is her best song when it comes down to it. Pure perfection, some of the best hooks of her career, the beautiful vocal layering, the summery calm mood with still a touch of anticipation and uncertainty, the absolutely captivating nature of the little "hush!" she does. I can't think of a more perfectly-crafted serve. It probably helps that it's the closest she's ever gotten to giving Fleetwood Mac, which is something she should do more of. 4 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
