If you go back and listen, she never says that he's the love of her life, but that's how he always referred to her, even though he never followed through on any of his promises or even acted like she WAS the love of his life. But in her reflection in the aftermath, he's the loss of her life. I swear, every listen, I feel new emotions. Absolutely gut-wrenching!
@@jeniferadelhardt4824 it’s sad, they had an emotional connection when young, that’s a special emotion.. n it was after Joe.. she was uplifted, n reunited with a guy w feelings, to pick back up, n feel alive again (esp after Joe) it would be the best to think they both are involved? MH went to her ERAS concert n her mouthed, I love you n she did too. It’s saying I love you repeatedly, then talking rings n cradles, then gone in the morning, wt.. was cruel of him, he drew heart in thinking of a future together.. then abruptly be gone in the morning is cruel! I get why she felt down bad with no convo of knowing, just gone.. you go from hurt to ticked off n hurt! Thanks
"Cornelia Street" And I hope I never lose you. I hope it never ends. "Afterglow" I don’t wanna lose you I don’t wanna lose this with you. "You’re losing me" Stop you’re losing me. "loml" You’re the loss of my life.
Except this song is about Matty Healy and Cornelia Street was about Joe. "Mr. Steal your Girl, then break her heart," because Matty talked her away from Joe by love-bombing her and then ghosted her (so many references to ghosts in this one)
Yes exactly. I cannot believe how many Taylor Swift fans don't see how obviously differently she feels about the breakup with Joe compared to this loml type sentiment. So Long London and You're Losing Me are clearly Joe. How she felt with Joe also is in Fresh Out The Slammer and a few others are hints. Loml is Matty in so many ways. @elizabeth5985
“Dancing phantoms on the terrace, are they second-hand embarrassed, that I can’t get out of bed because something counterfeit’s dead?” Wrecks me every time.
I think the loss of my life line is referring to the loss of the dream he sold her. Which is why she feels embarrassed that’s she’s mourning something that never really existed.
I took “loss of my life” to mean that with all of the promises he made and things he said she started imagining/planning their future together so when he left she lost this life that she had been planning. There is a quote that by a guy named Søren Kierkegaard that says “The most painful state of being is remembering the future, particularly the one you'll never have.” and that’s what her saying “you’re the loss of my life” makes me think of.
I always thought this was a little about Joe (stand up guy) and Matti (low down boy). Cinephile (Joe) Mr Steal Your Girl (Matti). Both made promises they didn’t keep and strung her along.
@@DawnR3ne3 yes! Same with but daddy I love him, I think it’s Joe, then Matti and after f it it’s over, it’s about Travis. Both Joe and Matti made her promises and broke her heart.
Absolutely agree. She mixed up the muses on a lot of the songs. My hot take was the "loss of my life" was really more about her dream of finally having "the one" and starting a family. She was shit talked by both of the guys into thinking they had something with a future, and she felt like she wasted her youth so that dream was out of reach. It ties back to So Long London and the Prophecy.
I think Taylor is at an age right now where she is feeling her biological clock ticking, she wants to have a family and somebody acting like they want it to but then making fun of that fact behind her back, and then just ghosting her after telling her they could have that, it probably felt like the loss of her life at that time because it wasn't just the dude that she was losing. Like, the dude is one thing but the promise of a lovely life together with a family, that's a whole additional thing to mourn. She was literally losing that life that she'd dreamed about with that person. I really wish people wouldn't pretend to want those things to get what they want from somebody and then just bail when they've gotten it. Its the very definition of cruelty.
It almost sounds like he was "future faking" something narcissistic people do to draw people in and then when you try to hold them to their word they freak out. It's so painful.
Especially since now she is always going to wonder if she could have had that with Joe if Matty hadn't been there as an exciting hope at the lowest point of their relationship (Mr steal your girl, then made her cry) 😭😭😭 Obviously it wasn't working out with Joe, but having a third person in the mix had to have added HUGE stress to the entire situation. I think it's that realisation at that point that now she needed to really, really start from scratch with someone new, and her time is now finite for having her own biological family. The more times I listen to the entire double album, the more I hate ratty Matty 😤
Love your reactions. For a woman of a certain age, the timeline to having a baby is often on the brain (“gotta find the right guy, we have to be together for x time before we can try for a baby,” etc.). We don’t want to admit we do it but we do it. To have maybe thought her 6yr relationship would achieve that only to have it fail and then rekindle a relationship with Matty Healy only to have it spectacularly fail - it’s a lot of loss. No partner, no marriage, no babies, no family, just more loneliness. Also, the jalapeño comment!😹🫶🏽
The way my jaw dropped when Evan said loss of my life at the beginning!!! We were all on a different ship, & as soon she dropped that bomb on us on the last line. We were all destroyed! Meanwhile Evans over here like a damn psychic😭👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It took me so many listens of this song to be able to get through it without ugly crying. I'm so glad you reacted to this song, thank you! I love your videos - all the way from Australia 😊
I think the loss is this dream of finally finding your soulmate and have the happily ever after, and then just have that dream ripped away before it becomes anything substantial. It isn't just the relationship that dies, but also all the possibilities that were connected to it and that could have lived on if they never tried to realize the relationship. I try not to speculate too much about her personal life, but the short (although long thought of) relationship comes right after the slow deterioration of her longest relationship and I would think that kind of compounds the pain. "Are they second-hand embarassed that I can't get out of bed 'cause something counterfeit's dead" is one of the hardest lines I have ever listened to from her, I sometimes get teary-eyed just thinking about it. Ugh.
The live version in Paris show in May, it was heartbreaking, so beautiful 🤍I didn’t really noticed the song in the album until she sang in Paris at the piano
The Smallest Man is believed to be about the same person only it’s the bitter/angry version. Be great to do that one next. It’s epic on the eras tour. Taylor gets shot and dies at the end (in the performance obv)
@@BlairandGeorgie It's for sure Matty. This whole song is about being love bombed and she says in the poem that comes with the album that Matty did that. Also, why would she say about her 6 year relationship with Joe that it was "momentary" and "unnecessary"?
Glad to see that I’m not the only one with this thought process. The only word linking to Joe is cinephile, but Matty definitely is one too (see the black and white esthetic of videoclips and the artwork of The 1975).
Guys just please do more and more and more and more taylor reactions we just cant stand to wait. It's like a torture to us to wait this much everytime 😂 And please So Long, London for the next one maybe 😊
Taylor's lyrics in loml, are exceptional, even for her, as her lyrics are always amazing. So sad for what she went through, and so happy she's now with Travis. They seem well suited, and happy together! Many songs on TTPD seem to be about this guy. If you go from loml, I Can Fix Him, imagonnagetyouback, The Black Dog, The Bolter, Florida!!!, and last, The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, which reflects her most current feelings in lyrics. She's so gifted lyrically. Hopeful, Travis is her final "1".
I think I understand what you were trying to say there at the end 😂 like the tone and melody stay mild, and her voice, they all stay the same sort of the whole way through. But the lyrics are a different story. The lyrics definitely burn more than a jalapeño 😭😂
I’ve listened to this song once since it was released, bc the new album came out after week after my breakup lol but this was the perfect way to revisit the song. Her poetry and lyricism is so good in this one 🖤 Alex’s face at loss of my life was exactly how I reacted the first time 😂
The song that she wrote about Ronan that just broke my heart it was so sad he was only 3 years old when he passed away I'm happy that the family wanted to share that memory of her son Ronan❤
the best lyrical parallel between verses here that i haven’t seen anyone mention is “I felt aglow like this Never before and never since” from verse 1, then “But I felt a hole like this Never before, and ever since” from verse 2. the first time i noticed the switch from never since to ever since, in reference to different feelings, i was in shock and had to fully pause and digest. so subtle, yet so powerful. this song is full of some of taylor’s best writing yet and very underrated imo.
"Cornelia Street" And I hope I never lose you. I hope it never ends. "Afterglow" I don’t wanna lose you I don’t wanna lose this with you. "You’re losing me" Stop you’re losing me. "loml" You’re the loss of my life.
What kills me is she leaves four music counts empty on the last line: "You're the loss of my life," 5, 6, 7, 8 Like how the relationship ended suddenly in a "bland goodbye"? I gasped at the end like you guys did. Good for you for looking up words! Gotta have a dictionary with blondie. This is about Matty Healy; a lot of the album is. He love-bombed her and ghosted her.
She's had her heart broken so many times. It's really sad. This song is very sad. She had a relationship with John Mayer for a while. She wrote a song about him. I think it's on her Red album Taylor's version. 😢
This was such a incredible reaction you guys I felt this song in my soul I cried listening to it and then agin watching it with you guys the lyrics that I relate to because I kinda lived it mixed with white horse but from loml these lyrics hit: If you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary You and I go from one kiss to gettin married Still alive, killing time at the cemetery Never quite buried In your suit and tie, in the nick of time You lowdown boy, you stand up guy Holy Ghost, you told me I'm The love of your life You said I'm the love of your life About a million times Who's gonna tell me the truth When you blew in with the winds of fate And told me I reformed you When your impressionist paintings of Heaven Turned out to be fakes Well, you took me to hell, too And all at once, the ink bleeds A con man sells a fool a get-love-quick scheme But I felt a hole like this Never before, and ever since
There’s another lyric of loml that doesn’t move is darker and more pleasant to read? She sings (he said, you’re the love of my life) She sings (you’re the loss of my life). I’m happy she met Travis, it’ll be nice, when her European Tour Ends in Dec, and she can be at home n relax a bit with him in KC, while he’s training n getting ready for the football season! Thanks guys, always enjoy your convos before, during n after her songs, great guys!
"I'm (Matty) the love of your (Taylor) life" is how I imagine it played out in real life. I can definitely see him being charmingly ambiguous with his words.
Alex had the exact same reaction that I did the first time I had hear it and she then comes out with Loss of my life. My jaw dropped and I had a big gasp 😅 I'm ready for you guys to doThe Smallest Man Who Ever Lived next!
he's the loss of her life bcoz of the way he wasted huge part of her life nearly 7 years building up this relationship all for him leave with bland goodbye... his "impressionist paintings of heavens" were all "fakes" . like the lyric from so long london " im pissed that you let me give u all that youth for free"... the prime years of her youth she spent with him thinking he's her "end game", thinking it was the "end of all the endings".... but he couldnt put a ring on it especially after "talking rings and talking cradles" with her... she "almost had it all"... that's the loss of her life
I think it’s about Matty and not Joe. Joe wasn’t the cinephile but Matty was. We also know that he also “shit talked” her during an interview that got printed. They spoke for a decade, making plans for a life together and then was finally with her after Joe and he ghosted her. Joe didn’t just disappear, he was lost in his own world that didn’t include Taylor. Right? Or am I way off?
@@NYandAZ yeah you're way off. that's not a real interview. dont believe anything you read. it was some gosipe source. she was with joe happy and ready settle with him for the whole relation until "you're losingg happend". that's the first crack in the glass. and joe is literally an actor and yeah he love fimes. they,re both cinephiles in that sense. but matty never got the to say "youre the love of my life" a MILLIONtimes, it was a 2 months rebound. shittalked me under table rings and cradles.. they're talking about getting married and having babies. timeline wise i put loml months after "you're losing me". loml is about after the "almost breakup" with joe in "youre losing me", she came back and rekindle it then felt completely embarrased about everything bcoz he was the same, nothing changed, he left like a coward. if u listen smallest man it's pretty clear loml is not about the same guy
@@ImBetterDanUShouldKnowDatByNowthey’ve known each other for a decade, he had plenty of time to say it😂 I’m obsessed with how in denial people are about the possibility that she felt that strongly about Matty. Also, ever heard of a composite sketch?
personally i think this is the most devastating song she's ever written (ronan and soon you'll get better not included for obvious reasons). the tone of her voice plus the lyrics honestly haunts me
this song is abt her previous 6 years long relationship wt joe alwyn (an actor - that's why the "cinephile" mention) and how he spent the whole relationship promising marriage and kids and it never happened
See, I think it's about Matty Healy and how he love bombed her and made the promises to her Joe wouldn't. -They moved too fast to all in like " One kiss to getting married." and " a get love quick scheme" -"We were just kids, babe." Referencing when they were first romanticly linked 10 years ago. - The cemetery references they shouldn't have tried to make their situationship become a relationship. Especially with moving so fast, they nothing really change. - "Mr. steal your girl. And make her cry." Hints to the making those promises Joe wouldn't make. But then, not following through. Same with the "something counterfeits dead." - The coming in and love bombing her before ghosting her. "what a valiant roar. What a bland goodbye." - And even the cinephile line could reference Healy being a big movie guy. And many 1975 songs being inspired by John Hughes movies. And Healy has worked on a lot of soundtracks.
@@brandyanderson3522 I agree with everything you said, except...""Mr. steak your girl"! 90% of the album is about Matty, when you hear words like smoke, pills, drugs, reform, they all scream Matty! Joe couldn't even get a staring roll on his own breakup album!
@@brucebrown3837 Haha, thanks. Honestly I think that midnights was Joe's breakup album. She just wasn't ready to admit it yet maybe not even to herself.
Another great reaction! Your guys comments were spot on with the direction of the song! I think she is a genius for using “loml” when it’s intended to mean love of my life but changing it to loss of my life. Can’t wait for more reactions off the new album ❤️
I just don´t know how someone could read those lyrics , listen to those melodies , see the way she has to tell stories , the words , the analogies she uses ... and say she is not a VERY TALENTED musician and one of the best song writers of our time .... I will never trust those people hehe ..... good reaction
The more I listen to this the more I think this is about Joe being the loss of her life because she was stolen away by Matty and the lowest of lows in her relationship with Joe with Matty promising her the world but never following through and leaving her. It’s about her regret that she was swept up away with Matty and lost the true love of her life in Joe. I think there’s a lot of regret in this song but I do believe she is much happier away from the both of them. The way Matty wrote ‘Sorry?’ At his concert was like a 🤷♀️ after she realised what he’d done to her and ruined her relationship with Joe then just ghosted her. It hurt her so much and he didn’t care at all.
Have you gyus ever reacted to Cardigan, you'll be blown away, it's the only single from the folkrore album that won a grammy for album of the year ❤❤❤❤❤
everyone argues if this song is about matty or joe. im over here thinking its both: JOE: "stitching we were just kids babe" (invisible string.....you can stitch with a string) "go from one kiss to getting married" so many engagement rumors with those two. "talking rings and talking cradles". i highly doubt matty was serious about this topic. they werent even officially together and when this album came out, he said they were never serious. MATTY: "told me i reformed you" no way Joe thought she reformed him lol. "con man sells a fool a get love quick scheme". he definitely made her believe he was a better choice than Joe. "mr steal your girl and make her cry" she thought shed be better off with Matty bc of his promises but he broke them. ****she could have easily felt duped by both guys. and half the lyrics could apply to both.
"you shit talked me under the table talking rings and talking cradles I wish I could unrecall how we almost had it all" he manipulated her telling her constantly that she was the love of his life and made her think they had a future when in reality he wasn't willing to fulfill that promise. They almost had it all and then she tells us that she feels ghosts haunting her embarrassed that she is feeling hurt about an almost something about how something was fake from the beginning and she's JUST realizing
She really did believe him when he said she was the love of his life and she believed they were ending up together then to have that ripped away by the same guy who promised her forever, that's why he's the loss of her life she believed him and all of his lies
You guys have to react to THE LIVE version of this song! She did in Paris for the Eras Tour and it sounds absolutely AMAZING! Here is the video --> ua-cam.com/video/NEOhY2VQMPw/v-deo.htmlsi=_f9oOakMzSIHLFlQ
Guys 😂😂😂 yall kill me ....."I decided to go against the grain" 🙌i got some reactions to catch up on 🤣♥️ i take a break so i can binge on a Saturday 💯 evan on mf point here 😂
If you go back and listen, she never says that he's the love of her life, but that's how he always referred to her, even though he never followed through on any of his promises or even acted like she WAS the love of his life. But in her reflection in the aftermath, he's the loss of her life. I swear, every listen, I feel new emotions. Absolutely gut-wrenching!
Same here... I didn't like the song that much on the first few listens but now I'm just in love with it and the lyrics are sooo devastating
@melissadavis4981 I loved it since my first listen (braids of lies is such a genius lyric) but all the songs on the anthology are so amazing!!
@@Knix2635 From what I know, that's correct. He made a bunch of pretty promises as well until he ghosted.
@@jeniferadelhardt4824 it’s sad, they had an emotional connection when young, that’s a special emotion.. n it was after Joe.. she was uplifted, n reunited with a guy w feelings, to pick back up, n feel alive again (esp after Joe) it would be the best to think they both are involved?

She was the love of his life, he was the loss of her life.
She made us believe that was "Love of my life" the same way he made her believe she was the love of his life 😭
OW
Just rip my heart out damn
u should've kept that one to yourself..........
💔💔💔
And I was so confident I knew what it was never questioned it omg💔
I wish I could unrecall how we almost had it all. This song is unparalleled for me.
Cornelia Street: "i hope i never lose you"
loml: "you're the loss of my life"
"Cornelia Street"
And I hope I never lose you. I hope it never ends.
"Afterglow"
I don’t wanna lose you I don’t wanna lose this with you.
"You’re losing me"
Stop you’re losing me.
"loml"
You’re the loss of my life.
Except this song is about Matty Healy and Cornelia Street was about Joe. "Mr. Steal your Girl, then break her heart," because Matty talked her away from Joe by love-bombing her and then ghosted her (so many references to ghosts in this one)

“Dancing phantoms on the terrace, are they second-hand embarrassed, that I can’t get out of bed because something counterfeit’s dead?” Wrecks me every time.
One of her saddest songs, in my opinion. And incredibly well written.
This song is so sad but so beautiful... one of my favorite Taylor Swift's songs ever
One of the saddest songs she’s ever written
@@nickybull2361 Yes! I love this song because of its sadness 😂
It’s now my favorite song of hers ever
Ever!
I think the loss of my life line is referring to the loss of the dream he sold her. Which is why she feels embarrassed that’s she’s mourning something that never really existed.
Oh wow
i love how you guys were like “that was so mild” meanwhile i ugly cry to it every time i listen 😂
Sameeeeeee! And Chloe, etc…and Peter💔💔💔💔💔
Same
Cried the whole time. Thankful for their breaks so I could wipe my eyes before crying again.
Every single time!!😂
So long, London next PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
"what we thought was for all time was momentary" 😭😭

I always thought this was a little about Joe (stand up guy) and Matti (low down boy). Cinephile (Joe) Mr Steal Your Girl (Matti). Both made promises they didn’t keep and strung her along.

Nope. Low down boy is believed to be also aa hint to LONDON boy. And Mr.Steal your girl refers to how Joe "stole" taylor from Tom Hiddleston
Her voice is melancholy which adds to the song.

@@orphanedhanyou well the song isn’t about Joe so I’m not sure why that would matter anyway.
loml - Taylor Swift (Jalapeno Version)
The acronym loml never works until the end. Throughout the song it’s “Love Of Your Life”, the only time is works is at the end.
Then you realize we were so sure ignoring the discrepancies because that’s what we WANTED to believe omg she’s literally making us live it🫠
I love this song 😭 I so want you to react to The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived!!!! It's just bitter TaySway at her best 😅
This song is literally my favourite from the album,so sad,so beautiful

No more ugly trying for me just rivulets falling down my face now
Beautiful song but so sad. Especially the part talking about getting married and baby cradles.
This is my favorite song off TTPD, and easily one of my favorites EVER. It’s so hauntingly beautiful, and heartbreaking and so perfect.
Taylor has say to her lyric videos too. She has a purpose for everything.
You can definitely tell that she has a hand in the lyric videos from the way they tell the story. When does blondie sleep?!?
This song is so sad. But for me, Taylor's best songs are always sad. 🤧
I think the loss is this dream of finally finding your soulmate and have the happily ever after, and then just have that dream ripped away before it becomes anything substantial. It isn't just the relationship that dies, but also all the possibilities that were connected to it and that could have lived on if they never tried to realize the relationship.

the best lyrical parallel between verses here that i haven’t seen anyone mention is “I felt aglow like this
Never before and never since” from verse 1, then “But I felt a hole like this
Never before, and ever since” from verse 2. the first time i noticed the switch from never since to ever since, in reference to different feelings, i was in shock and had to fully pause and digest. so subtle, yet so powerful. this song is full of some of taylor’s best writing yet and very underrated imo.
"Cornelia Street"
And I hope I never lose you. I hope it never ends.
"Afterglow"
I don’t wanna lose you I don’t wanna lose this with you.
"You’re losing me"
Stop you’re losing me.
"loml"
You’re the loss of my life.
Damnnnnnnn she wrote a song for every phase🤧
This was one of your best videos. Loved the amount of commentary. We want more tho, like your take on every couple lines
Our field of dreams
Engulfed in fire
“Your arsons match your somber eyes” This song is on of her most gut wrenching.
Ohhhhhh, this one is gonna be goooooooood!! Commenting before I even watch, but yall are gonna 🫶🫶🫶 it!
I can't listen or sing this song without bawling my eyes out. It is so intricate and just ugh....so beautiful ❤
Just recently found you guys and have never clicked on a video so fast!!
What kills me is she leaves four music counts empty on the last line: "You're the loss of my life," 5, 6, 7, 8
Like how the relationship ended suddenly in a "bland goodbye"?
I gasped at the end like you guys did.
Good for you for looking up words! Gotta have a dictionary with blondie.
This is about Matty Healy; a lot of the album is. He love-bombed her and ghosted her.
I am loving Taylor Swift's music and I love watching reactions of them. 🤗
I'd love a reaction to "The Manuscript" from Taylor.💜💜💜💜
Her lyric videos also give more context to the meaning of the song
She's had her heart broken so many times. It's really sad. This song is very sad. She had a relationship with John Mayer for a while. She wrote a song about him. I think it's on her Red album Taylor's version. 😢
Jalapeño (Taylor’s Version)
The lack of pauses says it all! Such a gorgeous song
One of my top 5 from the new album(s). It gets better with every listen. Those lyrics cut so deep !
This was such a incredible reaction you guys I felt this song in my soul I cried listening to it and then agin watching it with you guys the lyrics that I relate to because I kinda lived it mixed with white horse but from loml these lyrics hit:
If you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary
You and I go from one kiss to gettin married
Still alive, killing time at the cemetery
Never quite buried
In your suit and tie, in the nick of time
You lowdown boy, you stand up guy
Holy Ghost, you told me I'm
The love of your life
You said I'm the love of your life
About a million times
Who's gonna tell me the truth
When you blew in with the winds of fate
And told me I reformed you
When your impressionist paintings of Heaven
Turned out to be fakes
Well, you took me to hell, too
And all at once, the ink bleeds
A con man sells a fool a get-love-quick scheme
But I felt a hole like this
Never before, and ever since
I love your reaction videos!! They always make my week 🫶🫶.
Also... your reactions to "loss of my life" at the end was all swifties hearing that for the first time.
I had to wait to react to this one to be in the right mind set.... this song is an emotional one me for sure! Connect with every damn word
There’s another lyric of loml that doesn’t move is darker and more pleasant to read?
She sings (he said, you’re the love of my life) She sings (you’re the loss of my life). I’m happy she met Travis, it’ll be nice, when her European Tour Ends in Dec, and she can be at home n relax a bit with him in KC, while he’s training n getting ready for the football season! Thanks guys, always enjoy your convos before, during n after her songs, great guys!
This is such a beautiful song!
quick, swifties! who's going to pay them to react to Long Live (eras tour or TV) because I'm broke after spending all my money on the Eras Tour lol 😭
They have a really sweet reaction to the mashup of long live and new years day from the rep tour
I can do it with a broken heart lyric video is THE BEST!!!
OH YES PLEASE AND THANK YOU
"I'm (Matty) the love of your (Taylor) life" is how I imagine it played out in real life. I can definitely see him being charmingly ambiguous with his words.
Just noticed, it ends abruptly, like you get to the end of the ride and it ends suddenly
I'm currently watching y'all's reactions and the past three were Dear John, WCS, and loml. Long story short, I'm crying
😅
I'm sure it's been said already, but this was a six-nearly-seven-year relationship with actor Joe Alwyn. Such a long time with somebody just gone.
Alex had the exact same reaction that I did the first time I had hear it and she then comes out with Loss of my life. My jaw dropped and I had a big gasp 😅
I'm ready for you guys to doThe Smallest Man Who Ever Lived next!
he's the loss of her life bcoz of the way he wasted huge part of her life nearly 7 years building up this relationship all for him leave with bland goodbye... his "impressionist paintings of heavens" were all "fakes" . like the lyric from so long london " im pissed that you let me give u all that youth for free"... the prime years of her youth she spent with him thinking he's her "end game", thinking it was the "end of all the endings".... but he couldnt put a ring on it especially after "talking rings and talking cradles" with her... she "almost had it all"... that's the loss of her life
I think it’s about Matty and not Joe. Joe wasn’t the cinephile but Matty was. We also know that he also “shit talked” her during an interview that got printed. They spoke for a decade, making plans for a life together and then was finally with her after Joe and he ghosted her. Joe didn’t just disappear, he was lost in his own world that didn’t include Taylor.
Right? Or am I way off?
@@NYandAZ yeah you're way off.
that's not a real interview. dont believe anything you read. it was some gosipe source. she was with joe happy and ready settle with him for the whole relation until "you're losingg happend". that's the first crack in the glass.
and joe is literally an actor and yeah he love fimes. they,re both cinephiles in that sense. but matty never got the to say "youre the love of my life" a MILLIONtimes, it was a 2 months rebound. shittalked me under table rings and cradles.. they're talking about getting married and having babies. timeline wise i put loml months after "you're losing me". loml is about after the "almost breakup" with joe in "youre losing me", she came back and rekindle it then felt completely embarrased about everything bcoz he was the same, nothing changed, he left like a coward.
if u listen smallest man it's pretty clear loml is not about the same guy
@@ImBetterDanUShouldKnowDatByNowthey’ve known each other for a decade, he had plenty of time to say it😂 I’m obsessed with how in denial people are about the possibility that she felt that strongly about Matty. Also, ever heard of a composite sketch?
@@mylittlepeonies8693 says the delutional 1975 fan :
This is top 5 for me for The tortured poets department ❤❤❤
100 commenter
💯
Like you said , he gaslighted her to live of my life, and she gaslighted “loss of my life”. No fanfare. No sadness no drama, no big loss
Nailed the name Evan! Jake, hope you're ok, you seem a little down or tired. Big hugs from New Zealand 😁
Love this song
Lol I was super tired cause I had literally just woken up -J
I’ve been waiting for you to do this one!!
personally i think this is the most devastating song she's ever written (ronan and soon you'll get better not included for obvious reasons). the tone of her voice plus the lyrics honestly haunts me
this song is abt her previous 6 years long relationship wt joe alwyn (an actor - that's why the "cinephile" mention) and how he spent the whole relationship promising marriage and kids and it never happened
See, I think it's about Matty Healy and how he love bombed her and made the promises to her Joe wouldn't.
-They moved too fast to all in like " One kiss to getting married." and " a get love quick scheme"
-"We were just kids, babe." Referencing when they were first romanticly linked 10 years ago.
- The cemetery references they shouldn't have tried to make their situationship become a relationship. Especially with moving so fast, they nothing really change.
- "Mr. steal your girl. And make her cry." Hints to the making those promises Joe wouldn't make. But then, not following through. Same with the "something counterfeits dead."
- The coming in and love bombing her before ghosting her. "what a valiant roar. What a bland goodbye."
- And even the cinephile line could reference Healy being a big movie guy. And many 1975 songs being inspired by John Hughes movies. And Healy has worked on a lot of soundtracks.
@@brandyanderson3522 I agree with everything you said, except...""Mr. steak your girl"!
90% of the album is about Matty, when you hear words like smoke, pills, drugs, reform, they all scream Matty!
Joe couldn't even get a staring roll on his own breakup album!
@@brucebrown3837 Haha, thanks. Honestly I think that midnights was Joe's breakup album. She just wasn't ready to admit it yet maybe not even to herself.
I love your taylor reactions❤
omggg you should give a reaction to how did it end? too 💘
Another great reaction! Your guys comments were spot on with the direction of the song! I think she is a genius for using “loml” when it’s intended to mean love of my life but changing it to loss of my life. Can’t wait for more reactions off the new album ❤️
I just don´t know how someone could read those lyrics , listen to those melodies , see the way she has to tell stories , the words , the analogies she uses ... and say she is not a VERY TALENTED musician and one of the best song writers of our time .... I will never trust those people hehe ..... good reaction
MISSED YOU BOYS!!!
The more I listen to this the more I think this is about Joe being the loss of her life because she was stolen away by Matty and the lowest of lows in her relationship with Joe with Matty promising her the world but never following through and leaving her.
It’s about her regret that she was swept up away with Matty and lost the true love of her life in Joe.
I think there’s a lot of regret in this song but I do believe she is much happier away from the both of them.
The way Matty wrote ‘Sorry?’ At his concert was like a 🤷♀️ after she realised what he’d done to her and ruined her relationship with Joe then just ghosted her. It hurt her so much and he didn’t care at all.
Some other good songs to react to from the album:
So long, London
The prophesy
How did it end?
The albatross
The tortured poets department
Down bad
Have you gyus ever reacted to Cardigan, you'll be blown away, it's the only single from the folkrore album that won a grammy for album of the year ❤❤❤❤❤
everyone argues if this song is about matty or joe. im over here thinking its both:
JOE: "stitching we were just kids babe" (invisible string.....you can stitch with a string)
"go from one kiss to getting married" so many engagement rumors with those two.
"talking rings and talking cradles". i highly doubt matty was serious about this topic. they werent even officially together and when this album came out, he said they were never serious.
MATTY: "told me i reformed you" no way Joe thought she reformed him lol.
"con man sells a fool a get love quick scheme". he definitely made her believe he was a better choice than Joe.
"mr steal your girl and make her cry" she thought shed be better off with Matty bc of his promises but he broke them.
****she could have easily felt duped by both guys. and half the lyrics could apply to both.
So Long, London and Peter was sadder for me. Love this song either way
I showed my friend this album and when she got to this song she just texted me "loml is hell" and yeah that's the right reaction lol
"you shit talked me under the table talking rings and talking cradles I wish I could unrecall how we almost had it all" he manipulated her telling her constantly that she was the love of his life and made her think they had a future when in reality he wasn't willing to fulfill that promise. They almost had it all and then she tells us that she feels ghosts haunting her embarrassed that she is feeling hurt about an almost something about how something was fake from the beginning and she's JUST realizing
She really did believe him when he said she was the love of his life and she believed they were ending up together then to have that ripped away by the same guy who promised her forever, that's why he's the loss of her life she believed him and all of his lies
You guys have to react to THE LIVE version of this song! She did in Paris for the Eras Tour and it sounds absolutely AMAZING!
Here is the video -->
ua-cam.com/video/NEOhY2VQMPw/v-deo.htmlsi=_f9oOakMzSIHLFlQ

It was momentary
It was unnecessary
Should've let it stay buried
