RihannaLoverrr Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Catching up on Saturdays since I missed that thinking it couldn't be as bad Fridays finally catching up seeing my last 11's slaughtered right before todays reveal & imagine my horror when I see there's still FIVE 1989 songs in the top 20! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor fanboy Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 (edited) Begin Again was her best album closer before New Year's Day took that crown. VERY surprised both of them missed the Top 20. Edited September 8 by Taylor fanboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swifthino Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 1. Begin Again 11 Saviours (11s): Everyone Stans (10s): None Haters (1s): None Saboteurs (0s): None Comments sparrowblue 11 - "I will always say this is the epitome of a taylor song. the soft guitar, the vocal, the melancholy atmosphere all as a backdrop for the universal storytelling. Everything melts into perfection." holyground13 11 - "Very underrated. simple, optimistic and gorgeous. the perfect album closer." Klein 11 - "She's yet to release another album closer that can rival Begin Again. The song is perfect, the narrative is perfect. And the video was shot in France so that makes it automatically more special in my eyes. Even when we paid her complete dust, Taylor was showing us love." greento 11 - "Songs like this are where she really shines. Simple acoustic guitars, beautiful melodies and emotional lyrics." Forever Winter 11 - "Hands down the best opener/closer duo. Red will never be topped in that regard." Ampersand13 11 - "For a couple years this was a song that brought me immense comfort. As corny as it sounds, it helped me believe that the devastation someone wrought could be endured and corrected by personal growth and someone new." Bussea 11 - "And THIS is how you close out an ALBUM." Nein 11 - "UGH. Another career highlight as a closing track. This song holds close to my heart." Achilles. 11 - "So funny that she foresaw the negative reactions to her going pop (and with such a deliberately juvenile song at that) and casually tucked this ace up her sleeve just to remind the world that oh yeah she is actually the greatest songwriter working today." wastedpotential 11 - "This was also in serious conversations and negotiations with me for an 11 slot, but I know the rate participants will do right by this song, right? 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!" 4 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
