This is the most heartbreaking track from the album. It's so scary to think of how people could easily forget about you today, despite being so deeply in love yesterday.
Love it. She had a line before it saying how he managed to make her believe that she needs a brave man like him. Tail between the legs of a dog suggests cowardliness.
@@Scarlett_red398means as if a dog is scared or a coward it's tail is between it's legs. The same way the protagonist ( whom she's singing about ) left.
"And remember how my rain soaked body was shaking" Reference to the ending of delicate music video? Also in delicate, it says "you must like me for me", here, "Do you hate me?" ....heart shattering💔
That is so obviously a Matty Healy song, though! 😅 his new girlfriend is way younger than him, Joe didn't have a new relationship since the break up. And Matty's band has covered a song from the band The starting line which is referenced in the lyrics of the black dog. How many more clues does she need to drop?
"Six weeks of breathing clean air I still miss the smoke" is a sequel to Daylight's "Clearing the air, I breathed in the smoke" where she's trying to get over past memories with this former guy but she's holding back.
wasnt she with joe for 6 years... 6 weeks of breathing clear air aka the time she spent with joe... she wishes to go back to the smoke of the spotlight? maybe?
I Hope people think hard about how Taylor was feeling while writing this, instead of who it's written about She's expressing her raw and unspoken emotions into a painfully beautiful song, and trust me it helps a lot of ppl And I want everyone to know that

This has become my favorite track for the sheer attention to every. single. detail. It’s heartbreaking, and desperate, and delicate. and literally can feel this one in my bones.
Taylor if you’re lurking through the comments…. This album is so unique and, I hope you know what a great role model, storyteller, singer, poet, person and songwriter you are. I have no idea how you can make a song sound and feel like a story/journey. Can’t spell PoeTS without TS!! And hello to your cats (that last bit is random but I like cats :)
I love that ... PoeTS! Another masterpiece...so many fans happy with new, wonderful music ... Taylor, I give you a virtual hug ... you're such a class act! Thank you ❤
Black Dog is also associated with depression and mental health. In fact, there is a video on YT by World Health Organisation called “I had a black dog, his name was depression”. We can also see a black dog appearance in the Fortnight video. 😢
The “you forgot to turn you location off” part being repeated is so perfect. It’s like she’s saying you forgot to turn it off but it shouldn’t have been off at all
I feel like she’s saying I CAN SEE WHERE YOURE GOING. As if she knows he’s out drowning in drinks and other women out being happy and social while she’s broken hearted. He’s out acting fine while she’s dying inside, even 6 weeks after they broke up.
@@evelinakarlssonnn I can believe that she wrote the lyrics by herself but I realized over the years that you should never believe what a celebrity says. She wrote 31 songs in 2 years and she was busy with her exhausting tour at the same time... Plus the travelling, interviews et... Where did she find all the time for writing... There are many artists that pay a shadow producer to make their music.. Just saying
@@christiandelvaux8243 Taylor is kinda known for giving credit for anyone working with her. A lot of people who has worked with her has stated she gives them credit even if she writes like 90% of the songs. And also she most of the songs on the new album is with co writers who why would she lie about a few songs that she actually wrote herself. Make no sense. Just say you’re a hater
I'm so happy Taylor mentioned The Starting Line, easily one of the best bands that emerged from the pop punk/emo scene and became something much better.
Because she doesn't. All her songs are repetitive. Only uneducated fans and music critic praise her. She and Madonna are the most overrated singers in history.
this being the first song after the surprise double drop??? I will never have that amount of serotonin for a ballad again. never before and ever since.
That feeling when you used to go to a place with a person, where you (for some time now) established your reputation, influence and power there- like a persona. And then, suddenly after the fallout, you just see him going there casually like you guys never happened. You see him doing things you used to do together, and he does them painlessly without any trace of missing you. :( how do they do that? "How you dont miss me in the black dog??"
When my boyfriend left me I had to see all the calls he was making to his ex-girlfriend on my phone bill for the next 6 months because we shared a phone plan. He took her to the places we used to go. It shattered my heart. And he felt nothing. I feel every ounce of rage, pain, grief she is feeling in this song. There is healing in relating to another's story. Taylor you are such a brilliant writer. You have helped heal my heart in ways you don't even know. Thank you. I am so happy you have found joy, you deserve every moment of it.
This is one of not the best song on the albums such an intimate ballad it so raw ,and beautiful the production is top tier that chorus hit so hard all of the detail yet so relatable absolutely heartbreaking.
I personally think you can tell which songs are about Joe from the tone and overall vibe - in all of them it’s more tragic, sadness and love still there even tho the relationship is over (such as a song like this). We know she sold their home and also this pub is around where he lives
@@babymi28 I'm torn whether this is abt Matty or Joe because some of the lyrics like talking about The Starting Line band which Matty covered music from on tour and her talking abt him having a younger gf now sound very much abt Matty, but the rest of the song is very Joe coded
look how far Taylor got! By “just a girl” singing about her high school life and boys, to now having 11 successful albums and a 1.1b air! Wow Taylor we are veryyyyy proud of you.👏
I am something of a skeptic when it comes to Jack Antonoff productions in the current day, but this one is an overwhelming exception to that rule. The most heart-shattering song in this album both lyrically and production wise.
I moved through the world with the heart broken" this song is so perfect and heartbreaking, one of my favorites and my favorite one from TTPD The Anthology
It’s crazy how much of a genius Taylor Swift is. The fact that she prepared all of those hints, easter eggs, and clues, all connecting to the songs/albums she’s going to release. I felt like I’m in an escape room trying to solve those riddles she gave-straight up genius.
A Black Dog worker was interviewed on camera and said that Blonde hair man was a frequent customer. Taylor recorded the song May 18th, 2023. And she was dating Healy at the time, and for weeks after that. SO 100% this song is about Joe.
The cohesion between the sonic of screaming and its meaning, it actually is shivering, and the way the last screaming is silent. So thouroughly thought out.
At 48 years old, everything now hits different. She gave all of us warning signs, but I think we all believed he was the one. This song hits me in the heart and gut! ❤

Yes and it’s so common. It’s like an act
Loml is much much sadder.
😭😭😭
True. Such a heart wrenching song
Yall are forgetting about How Did It End lol
The way screaming becomes softer in tone at the very end of this song says she’s too tired to scream like that for anyone now. That was so clever! 😮🤍
also like she's not screaming anymore because the addiction to the old habit has been broken
Thanks for the insight! I hadn't gotten that!
The first scream is always the loudest
oh wowww i just noticed too 😮
Well what can I say? She's a mastermind.
The tail between your legs line mixed with the imagery of the black dog is so haunting
What does that line mean ?
Love it. She had a line before it saying how he managed to make her believe that she needs a brave man like him. Tail between the legs of a dog suggests cowardliness.

but the last one is very sad :(
YES. I agree

"Six weeks of breathing clean air I still miss the smoke" is a sequel to Daylight's "Clearing the air, I breathed in the smoke" where she's trying to get over past memories with this former guy but she's holding back.
Also reminds me of clean lyrics "Ten months sober, I must admit
Just because you're clean, don't mean you don't miss it"
😮
It's about Matty Healy
Travis is a rebound
wasnt she with joe for 6 years... 6 weeks of breathing clear air aka the time she spent with joe... she wishes to go back to the smoke of the spotlight? maybe?
Have you guys noticed how Taylor lowered her voice's note each time singing "screaming"
Cuz the FIRST time you scream is always the LOUDEST ..
silent screams are the loudest!
how does she be doing this all the time
@tequilitita maybe yeah, but they definitely are the most painful
@redpantherz3930 I know, right?! I guess cuz she is THE Taylor Swift 🫶🏻
@@shoroukmagdy2056 thats what i mean with they are the loudest. in a metaphorical way, because it hurts the most.

And I want everyone to know that
I agree with your observation. More than the rest. She was undergoing a deep pain and truly is one of the best poets of our time.
Everyone here agree that it is one of the best song in this album. The whole metaphor is crazy
Best song from both albums combined

@@Sam-be8qywhat I was thinking
"Say it like you mean it" by THE STARTING LINE.. is the greatest album of all time! The swifties should give it a listen.
Heard that line and immediately thought she surely wasn't making a reference to an old pop punk band. I love it!
Also Swifties would really love their album "Based on a True Story"
I love the starting line and it means a lot that it gets mentioned on 1 of Taylor's songs! 🥰
Fr! It’s a great album. Can honestly say I’m not a huge swiftie but this album is great
even the first acoustic ep Make yourself at home 🏡
Ofc she wrote this one solo. She always comes THROUGH with her solo-written songs🥺
im happily married but there's something in this song that makes me want to cry.
Because you’re able to empathize well! ❤
This one broke me so hard. She said all the things my heart feels but my brain won’t let me put into words.

I'm so happy Taylor mentioned The Starting Line, easily one of the best bands that emerged from the pop punk/emo scene and became something much better.
They should have reached fall out boy levels. Best pop punk emo band. Hands down.
It was Matty that introduced the band to Taylor.

Everyone talking about the SCREAMING but anyone notice she ends the last one in a whisper
Someone pointed out how the "screaming" gets quieter each time she says it
Its not whisper! Its a little bit weeping as in when someone cries too much they end up in a state of not speaking up
"intertwined in the magic/tragic fabric of our dreaming" is one of the most beautiful lyrics she's ever written 🤍
so much this
This one is my favorite. My heart felt it and still does
