1989 Posted September 9 Posted September 9 Going off of what we have left, this would be my ideal Top 5 (listing them in album - chronological order for the sake of efficiency): Love Story Sparks Fly Clean 'Tis The Damn Season Guilty As Sin? Out Of The Woods and Cardigan would be #6 and #7, respectively. 1

I've been listening to Taylor basically 16 hours straight every day since the reveals started (I start my mornings with Timmy and end my evenings with Manny) and the only time I'm forcing myself to listen to other music is when I'm in the car to/from work, when I listen to the radio, where it seems like every third song is either Cruel Summer, Karma, or ICDIWABH 2

It's the way Opus of the Woods was my second most played song of 2014, second most played song of 2015, and second most played song of 2016. But I could not possibly tell you what my #1s were those years. It is also coincidentally my second most played song of all time. Oh Opus, always the runner up. Maybe it's a sign that it will be #2 in this rate. Edited September 9 by Achilles. 3 1

There's a reason OOTW was the first of her supposed "sisters", but quite honestly there are none because the others simply can't compare. One of her actual best pop songs ever 1

Yog 10 - "Love love love this track." Bosque 10 - "Flawless." 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. She needs to make more shoegazey Mazzy Star music like this." gagacasanova 8.5 - "*inserts Peter Griffin twirling gif*" Edge of Glory 8.5 - "One of her most relatable songs for me. :sadchick:)" blown away 8.3 - "I didn't remember this being so good. Aged like a fine wine." I understand why the servers crashed now. God was trying to tell us to do a recount so this could be higher 1 3

jacklovesyou1 Posted September 9 Posted September 9 Based on what's left .. my top 5 in no order Enchanted Wildest Dreams Clean August YBWM Next 5 to leave Blank Space Sparks Fly Back to December OOTW Tolerate it
Peroxide Posted September 9 Posted September 9 Ya'll are gonna sacrifice me to the God's but I don't think Tolerate It and TTDS should have made it this far… Both are great, but there are other songs on Evermore that are more deserving. I'd like to see both leave before top 15. Wildest Dreams and Getaway Car have also lasted WAY too long. Lol 1
enchanted0 Posted September 9 Posted September 9 Mine #38 very impressive since it's always been underrated sing
