This half of the anthology includes a lot of references to Greek mythology, which often includes prophecies. Sysiphus was doomed to roll boulders up a hill (“thanK you aIMee”), Cassandra could prophesy/see the future but nobody believed her, etc. I also read in a BBC article that this song is a lot like the Greek poet Sappho’s poem Ode to Aphrodite (the goddess of love).
Yes! I love interpreting her lyrics and associating them with poetry, numerology, greek mythology, spirituality. I'm obsessed with her lyric videos 🤍 Willow has greek mythology references as well. As I'm listening, I just thought about that bust sculpture in the TTPD library. I have notes about it at home, but I'm pulled over on the side of the road typing this 😂😂 Will add your correlations to my notes, thank you!!
So much yearning in this song . The melody and the lyrics combine to give us the feeling of her intense longing for love in her life . Which she certainly has now with Travis Kelce !
Love this song! The layering of the vocals contribute to the hollow feeling of the song. Very soulful and it sits like lead in the stomach, while also having this almost desperate hopeful feel too. So sad and full of dispair, but also holding tight to the elusive hope that something can still happen.
i enjoy the anthology as well. which made me realize i like dessners production with taylor. his production sounds so simple in my ears yet satisfying.
This is definitely one of my favorites. I agree that the B side is better. I’m not a bubble gum pop fan though so it makes sense that I like the more singer-songwriter style & songs. I have never been a Swiftie and never cared for much of her music, but I really love some of these songs. The Prophecy, Peter, loml, etc have sort of made me change my mind about her a little bit.
Definitely one of my favorite songs from TTPD!! I’m so excited that you’re covering this album. It has something for everyone and each song is so unique and her pen has grown to a masters level. Really love listening and deciphering her newer work (but I’ll always love the prior ones as well). Seems like she’s changed the prophecy with the football mooch. I can’t help but wish she found someone who could at least spell to keep an interesting and intelligent conversation with Taylor. She’s a literal genius with an IQ of 160, so the mooch is just taking taking taking and not helping her in any aspect. It’s just very one sided but it’s her life to find out how much he’s willing to do to be with her so that he can make it in the entertainment industry … #bummer She’s too talented to be held down by someone who doesn’t hold her up like she’s doing for him. 😔🤨
Have you reacted to so long london? Its a very interesting song musically… very un-taylor swift that caught my attention and now i have listened to the whole album (ive never listened to her before)
I am commenting #BringBackDislikes on every unique UA-cam video that I watch for the rest of 2024, regardless of if I actually dislike the video or not. This is video 1168.
Glad you had fun listening to this one it’s one of my favorite of hers in any album. Just a vulnerable beautiful song

"Daylight" alludes to Platonic allegory.
I love this song so much! All of it! Vocals, lyrics, instrumental, production.

This lyrics are poetry!!!!!
I love this one - Jack is great for making Taylor's radio worthy/ more mainstream collective stuff, but Aaron Dessner's production is more my vibe
Agree 100%! Exile will forever be one of my favorites!
This is lowkey one of my faves on the album

Greige means grey and beige
In the textile manufacturing industry, griege is also fairly unprocessed fabric before it is set in any dyes or colours or print 😊
Nice! Fits TTPD palette perfectly!
Run-on sentence flow is often seen in Biblical hymns too. Might've been intentional - seeing she's on her knees, praying "Please."

Greige is a color that is midway between grey and beige.
A color that reminds me of marble statues
If you haven't, try Cornelia Street and Death by a Thousand Cuts, both acoustic, from Live in Paris. Fantastic

You should definitely react to Folklore and Evermore, lots of Aaron and Taylor there!
