She Reacts To The Cheers As If She Doesn’t Know We’d All Kill For Her

Forever Winter 2012 demo (x)

do you listen to taylor swift?

i wish all my mutuals who @ me in those tag games a very i swear i see it and i love being thought of even though i rarely if ever do them. i love you.

my favorite choice ever at the very end of the black dog is when she whispers the final “screaming”. after literally screaming it the whole song, after she’s gone through all that grief and catharsis, you can hear her voice shake as it barely chokes out the word. And she’s so insistent the entire song that “old habits die screaming” like I will rage against you with my dying breaths! Loss and death and grief have made me angry and vengeful and you will feel the flames of my wrath!!! But in the end, after she goes through all the accusations and the blame and the vitriol and confusion and the cruelty and injustice of it all, she has no more fight left in her. she realizes in real time that this is what grief and letting go actually feels like, the summation of it all at the end. It’s perhaps in conversation with that TS Eliot poem: “This is how the world ends, not with a bang but with a whimper.” The journey through all of that sorrow and pain and grief and loss doesn't end in a blinding magnificent rage and it’s over, as much as she wanted it to, with indignation and vengeful pride. Instead, it’s a long drawn out suffering and when she finally gets to the end of her grief, it has drained everything from her. she may have the last word, but it'll be nothing more than a pitiful whisper.

GUYS WHAT IS THIS MASHUP??????????

This TTPD megamix is blowing my mind 🤯

the manuscript

ALSO ALSO "the alchemy" and how alchemy's main goal has always been trying to transform ordinary materials into gold, and the number of her lyrics being like "deep blue but you painted me golden" and gold rush and fucking MIDAS TOUCH on the song about a failed proposal???? she is so back in her lyrical parallel era I'm living

death, taxes, and joever
