Huge respect for standing up for taylor......
I always will! Abuse of power is so dominant in the entertainment industry. No matter who it is, we all have to speak out against it!
Theory : getaway car is continuation of wildest dream music video.......
OMG! A theory!!!
... and cruel summer is the continuation of getaway car!!!
@@josecarlolemus9928 omg yes I never realized.....theory..... call shane
I always thought the Delicate video was a time-crossed follow up to WD. She begins the video sad and dejected, likely due to the event at the end of WD. In WD she ends the video leaving in a car, whereas in Delicate she gets out of a car at another premier.
that sound right!
Please dissect any other Taylor’s albums like this man this is AMAZING
I'll look into it! I specifically chose "rep" because I see it very much as a record that has a cohesive narrative throughout, so it may be difficult to dissect her other records in the way I did with "rep", but I will look at her other records and see what I can find!
@@popdissected4400 you should do red, it's less obvious because it has multiple story lines and every few songs is like a chapter in the album, not one clear story like rep
@@thxu4_the_venom657 yeah, there’s definitely a common thread in red, despite criticism that it wasn’t cohesive.
@@thxu4_the_venom657 true.
In awe of the fact that you specifically explained you stance and reasons behind not playing her music
The people must know!
DWOHT is so underrated omg, I feel bad for not seeing this vulnerability before. I love 10X more this song.
It's SO underrated and one of my favorites off "rep"!
My most played song last year!
What an excellent analysis! I loved how you interlaced the themes and storylines of each song with one another and then bridged them with the overarching narrative of reputation. Your observations were insightful, thought-provoking, and helped me reimagine these songs in a completely different light. I look forward to the conclusion of this fantastic trilogy 🙂
Thank you so much!!! And thank you for watching! You're wonderful!
Can’t wait until she re-records next year so I can listen to her old albums again. Took everything in me not to go and listen to reputation after watching these videos. #iStandWithTayor
Her re-records will be AMAZING!
I have all of her CDs. So I don't have to stream it.
I don’t think she’s re-recording Reputation. She says albums 1-5 in an interview.
Wby don't you have her cds like me
Because I own literally nothing that can play a CD 😭
Good thing I have reputation on vinyl to listen to, instead of giving more money to big machine with streaming it
PERIOD 👏
Omg me too!!!
I illegally download most my music anyway, buying the vinyl if I like the album enough. If you want it digitally not illegally downloading though, buying the CD secondhand and ripping it is a good option.
I think that if the songs were listed in a different way, the story would be a lot clearer.
This is just an example.
1. Getaway Car
2. Gorgeous
3. Ready for It?
4. End Game
5. Delicate
6. King of My Heart
7. Don’t Blame Me
8. I Did Something Bad
9. Look What You Made Me Do
10. This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things
11. Dancing with Our Hands Tied
12. Dress
13. So It Goes
14. Call It What You Want
15. New Year’s Day
Wow! You're right about that! Track listing is one of my favorite aspects of a record. I know Taylor has said the track listing reflects how she felt throughout this period in her life, beginning with "...Ready for It?" to show her 'playing up' to her media branded reputation, and ending with "New Year's Day"; her finding love throughout all the chaos. But you bring up such a great point! I definitely will have to listen to the record in that order now!
Yas! Tell me of you get the storyline better that way
@@popdissected4400 could u do a vid on Olivia Rodrigo's SOUR? I kinda think that the albums shows a story abt heartbreak and i think that the album could easily be dissected seeing each song tacles hearbreak from a different view, perspective, emotion, feeling and basis (friendship breakups, romantic breakups, "social" breakups)
where is the third part!!! Im really looking forward to you analysing my favorite songs of the album
It'll be coming soon, don't worry :) ♥️
@@popdissected4400 YASSSSSSS
Finally part 2!!!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Take a shot everythime he says "lover"
Lover. You drunk yet?
oh you forgot a line in gorgeous! she sings "ocean *blue* eyes, looking in mine", i just thought it should be brought up for her usage of blue as a word for concern, cause immediately after she sings "i feel like i might, sink and drown and die" daz it, i loved the video!
Thanks so much! And you're so right! With so many references across the record, it's easy to forget some 😆 !
i kinda think that ocean blue eyes may have a double-meaning first one being as u said doubt seeing blue represents sadness but the seocnd would honestly be describing the other person
Oh my god huge respect to you for supporting Taylor💗 love you videos and channel💗💗💗💗
Thank you so much!!!! And I'll always stand with her in these issues she faces with BMR ♥️
Thank u so much for atanding with Taylor Swift 😊
Of course, I love her!
Your videos are incredible. Great job on the research, you're doing amazing work!
Thank you so much, I appreciate it!
I love your videos so much
Thank you!!! ❤️❤️
@@popdissected4400 yeah keep up the great work
00:00 Intro
02:29 So it goes...
04:32 Gorgeous
05:28 Getaway Car
09:52 King of my heart
13:11 Dancing with our hands tied
15:14 Dress
Any time I hear "so it goes" I accidentally thing of You Are In Love instead
"And so it goes
You two are dancing in a snow globe 'round and 'round
And he keeps a picture of you in his office downtown
And you understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars
And why I've spent my whole life trying to put it into words"
Me too. 💕
Me too!
I stand with Taylor 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
and do!
I disagree that "Gorgeous is about the previous relationship-- it seems too apt to be about Joe, speaking about the dimples and the accent. I think she is just being specific in identifying the (potential) new relationship she spotted in the first track, before going into the retrospective that constitutes "Getaway Car". So, she sees him and isn't sure she wants it; warns him off; tells him about it; then goes for it.
Very interesting points!!
Very tasty presentation of an iconic album... ☺️☺️☺️😁😁😁😘😘😘😘😘
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Love this analysis. This is her album I will not put on shuffle. Also, Dress also plays on the idea of the dresses mentioned in other songs (IE, Wildest Dreams). Taking off the dress is also showing the new lover the most vulnerable sides of her. It's stripping emotionally naked.She was finally comfortable to let her guard down even if she got burned.
Yess! Thank you for watching as well!
AMAZING ANALYSIS!!!
Thank you so much!
I loved your Taylor Swift's analysis. Please analyse or review a Shakira album. 🖐
Thank you so much! And I'll look into it ❤️
i always took the boys with luxury cars not taking her where the new lover does as the o word and i stand by that. her use of ‘boys’ could also suggest that he’s a man compared to them.
OH 😳 You have a point....
im assume there'd be a part 3 to this video?
Yes! It'll be on it's way very soon!
Please do some videos on Charli XCX!!!
Will do!
Pop Dissected king of public opinion!
@@jacksmith427 LMAO!
can you do more videos about gaga katy and nicki . like anylizing albums or something
Yes! I've been planning out a Nicki video for a while. It's just a matter of what to specifically focus on. The most popular thing I've seen is asking for a video on why _____ 'flopped', and I don't want to flood my channel with those. I absolutely want to do another Katy and Gaga video; I'm currently just trying to create more diversity on my channel so it doesn't become focused on certain artists. With that however, I will definitely work on new content for Gaga, Katy and Nicki - likely picking a record of theirs and explaining why I believe that record is their strongest work they've put out.
Invented dissecting pop albuns, you're going a great, brilliant job.
And, do you think also "So It Goes" coulb be a single?
Thank you so much!!! And no, since the "reputation" era has officially ended :(
@@popdissected4400 i know, lol. Maybe I've choosen the wrong sentence, "could have been".
Sorry, I'm Brazilian and I'm not fluent.
@@edu.8552 Oh, no worries - don't apologize :) And yes, "So It Goes" would have been an interesting single choice! It's not my favorite song off the album, but I still think it would have been good!
I love your videos.....
Thank you!!!!
Amazing.
Thank you!!
What do u think is the genre of each track on rep?
For example:
So it goes: Rock R&B
What do u think
Where's part 3? huhu
It'll be coming soon - a lot quicker than it took for Part 2 to arrive!
Pop Dissected I binged your videos and they are so worth watching. I’m obsessed. I hope you make more. I’m very much looking forward to this part 3. Btw, can you pls do Camila next? Her Romance album is worth it. Thank you! I’m rooting for your channel!
You forgot to include lyric Scratches down your back in So it goes
