RATING SPEAK NOW (TAYLOR'S VERSION)
With 16 votes in the poll above, I'm going to listen to Speak Now (Taylor's Version) for the first time, I think I've heard some bridges but nothing more.
Ok, I don't have much more to say, so let's get started.
I have found MANY songs from my childhood here, so don't pay attention to me being happy because I listened to songs and they brought me good times
SONG LIST:
Mine (Taylor's Version) 3.5/5
+1 From the instrumental I can see Taylor dancing in the fearless outfits on the eras tour <3 // +1 She sounds so jovial, even if it's a re-recording she sounds SO GOOD // +1.5 some lines sound a little strange, but there are others that are SO GOOD
For an album opener, it's strange but it's beautiful and how it prepares you with a soft and jovial dance energy. I can tell you that I have experienced the situation you describe, and all with the person who made me feel TSMWEL.
Sparks Fly (Taylor's Version) 4/5
+1.5? I REMEMBER THIS INSTRUMENTAL AS IF I WAS IN PRIMARY SCHOOL, it's so beautiful to listening after so many years đź©· // +1 something the vocal feels a little empty, but it's ok // +1.5 I remember only hearing the 'drop everything else, meet me in the pouring rain' and it's so nice to find the song where it came from.
Believe it or not, it was one of the few songs that I heard on the street before 1989 in my country and that's where I know that lyric existed.
Back To December (Taylor's Version) 4/5
+1 I know that I have heard this song from somewhere else, but I don't know where, in my childhood. // +1.5 She sounds sad even on the rerecording wow, she really screwed up // +1.5 I HAVE HEARD THIS LYRICS IN MY CHILDHOOD, I KNOW, IN THE SUPERMARKET
While I said I hadn't heard any songs from this album, the bridge came up a lot in compilation videos and I thought I wouldn't like it as much, but the song is really nice
Speak Now (Taylor's Version) 3.5/5
+1.5 I think I focused so much on the fact that these songs are almost from my childhood, that I forgot to comment that it is so beautiful to listen to instrumentals without so much synth-pop // +1 I remember this song sung with an almost childish tone, and now I hear it with a voice of a completely mature woman and it is so... shocking and beautiful // +1.5 Sorry, the whole scene so beautifully described and making sense when sung is an enormous achievement and she was 20 years old (or so)!
It feels like that time I accidentally got lost in the supermarket and a similar Taylor song was playing and I swear I think I can find it on this album
Dear John (Taylor's Version) 4.5/5
+1.5 It's a 7 minute song, but hey it's enjoyable... // +1 HER VOICE IT'S STILL BROKEN :(( // +2 MY GOD, JOHN, you can't be that shitty! I'm kidding, you are.
Ah yes, a 7 FUCKING MINUTES song how beautiful! But as a person who was groomed when I was 12 and he was 19 (Taylor's age when she made this song, and the age I am now...) this song is strong, I haven't started crying because I mourned that month years ago, but I think the scar never goes away and is very visible. What I mean is that it's not something you live with and say "I have no regrets."
Mean (Taylor's Version) 3.5/5
+1.5 The instrumental feels fuller than the original, without being overpowering and I honestly like it more than the original // ... 1 Something I don't like is the beginning of each verse that seems like a tongue twister, but when you read it quickly it's not difficult, but it's difficult to understand Taylor when she sings it. // +1.5 I love the imagery and the way of describing the words, the weakness, the feeling of inferiority and the hope that the situation will change and the other person will see that they cannot make you feel bad again.
Something I've noticed in the songs so far between this album and Reputation is the structural pattern, it doesn't exist in Lover anymore... And honestly I like this pattern better
The History Of Us (Taylor's Version) 4/5
+1.5 That instrumental is one that I would love to listen to without lyrics! // +1 She sounds so beautiful, such a sad song in such a happy rhythm // +1.5 The lyrics are so rhymically pleasant that they scratch parts of my brain that were hidden and it's 2AM and I can't start dancing
Another song that is part of my childhood, please someone save me! It feels like I'm listening to the music on the 5 a.m. radio when I'm with my grandfather for morning coffee, and at the same time it feels like a walk through the mall while I help my mom buy food for the week and sing songs that my father would definitely forbid
Never Grow Up (Taylor's Version) 4.5/5
+1.5 I didn't even listen to the song twice and I was already crying // +1 I'm aware that she doesn't know me but I feel like she's telling my story (minus the moving part) and she's talking to my little self // +1.5 She sounds so beautiful and the lyrics are so vivid!
Now TTPD feels bland "but it has a lot of analogy and and and" no, thank you. It is insipid and lifeless, not that it lacks complexity. (Another note) THANK YOU FOR BREAKING MY HEART AGAIN WITH A SONG RELATED TO CHILDHOOD AND INNOCENCE
Enchanted (Taylor's Version) 4/5
+1 I've heard this song everywhere and I didn't want to listen to it in its entirety and it's so beautiful // +1.5 She sounds so dreamy it feels like I'm interrupting something very private // +1.5 I think I'm going to give it an additional point because despite the repetitions, and the fact that it's 6 minutes, it didn't stand out at all.
Another 6 minute song, I complain a lot, but how I am enjoying this! It feels so nice, full of life after TTPD, I mean I know it's the concept and everything, but honestly the more I hear from Taylor, that album is one place lower in my ranking, only surpassing Lover at the moment
Better Than Revenge (Taylor's Version) 4.5/5
+1.5 OH MY GOD THAT INSTRUMENTAL IS ALL THAT'S GOOD!! // +1.5 Seriously, this whole album sounds so in her style that it makes me want to listen to Fearless (Taylor's Version) right now // +1.5 I love the change of lyrics, and I love how she describes the person but well, she wasn't the best person and Taylor definitely had no qualms at that time
Innocent (Taylor's Version) 4/5
+1.5 The instrumentals remind me of The Anthology 🤍 // +2 Another song that goes on my playlist called little child, it's so beautiful
I think the songs that never failed to hit me are the songs related to childhood and innocence, and this album is full of them.
Haunted (Taylor's Version) 4.5/5
+1.5 I can't stop loving the instrumentals! // +1.5 She sounds so good in this style!! // +1.5 The lyrics go so well with the instrumental and THOSE HIGH NOTES FOR GOD! I swear I understand this lyrics to heart
Everything makes so much sense in this composition, the occasional violins, the electric guitar, the high notes, EVERYTHING
Last Kiss (Taylor's Version) 3.5-4/5
?1.5 I don't know whether or not to give this instrumental a point because it's late, I'm sleepy and I'm falling asleep listening to it // +1 she still sounds very heartbroken :( // +1.5 She waited for that kiss like I waited for that "last.... kiss"
It is incredible to know that she wrote such works that one says "now there are people who do it" "there were before too" I still haven't found anyone who does it so vividly, with such accuracy and ALSO that you can see yourself in the music and that you also appreciate that other history
Long Live (Taylor's Version) 5/5
+1.5 This album should stop having such good instrumentals! // +1.5 I feel like she is telling me these stories as if I were her daughter, and as if she were giving me an old book of these same ones. // +2 I can't help it, this yes or yes is my favorite, the imagery, the way of putting it into words, the message in general. I can't not give it a 5/5
How bad would it be if I dedicated this song to my brother, who was always my best adventure partner even if now we are not as close as before?
Ours (Taylor's Version) 3.5/5
+1 The first sentence was right, this song sounds like an elevator song // +1 She sounds so happy, I guess it's a bit of an act, but it may also have been that reconnecting with this part has helped // +1.5 Another song about getting into people's lives and with such a beautiful message in between (not the muse, I care so little)
I would listen to this song while I am doing homework or other things, it is one of those songs that you put on to sing and it becomes the soundtrack of the chore you are doing. I'm not saying it's bad, but it doesn't grab my attention THAT much.
Superman (Taylor's Version) 3.5/5
+1.5 Another song that she song that she would dance in the Fearless dress // +1 She feels so comfortable in this element that it hurts // +1.5 Oooh how I feel this lyric! She is so dreamy and so free at the same time, how beautiful đź©·
Seriously, every time I think she changed the type of dress indicated because there were no colors or because of the representative colors of the albums because I don't think you can dance this in a ball gown, but I guess that's not the vibe she wanted to give either, but hey, the Eras Tour is about to end and it was still magnificent
AND WITH THIS, WE END WITH THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF SPEAK NOW
Electric Touch (From The Vault) 3.5/5
+1.5 How do I not download every instrumental on this album??? // +1.5 I love Fall Out Boy and I love that he had a whole verse and it sounds so good with Taylor... // ...1 That first moment of meeting a person and having everything vibrate with anticipation, it is something that I wouldn't change for anything.
I feel that it is a very tender song and at the same time very passionate, even hormonal, and although I love it with just one listen, it doesn't quite fit with Speak Now, but it doesn't fit with any other album.
When Emma Falls In Love (From The Vault) 3/5
+1 That soft piano at the beginning🤍 // ...1 I'm going to be honest, there is a second voice that bothers me and all the "ss" sound like hissing. // +1.5 It's such a beautiful song, about a person who handles love in his private life in a fairly healthy way in Taylor's environment is incredible
Imagine that you are the inspiration of a talented friend and on top of that she makes a song, and tries to learn from you. Well, it doesn't happen to me, but it does to Emma Stone.
I'm not saying that this isn't a spectacular song, but the AUDIO QUALITY is horrible, and the whole experience is...
I Can See You (From The Vault) 3.5/5
+1 I can't believe that even though it's a different genre, the instrumental automatically reminds me of imgonnagetyouback // +1 She sounds so sexy and with such a high rhythm, it's almost perfect but I don't know what she's missing :( // +1.5 It's definitely a song that would be on Reputation, with a different rhythm, with such daring lyrics.
I'm going to be completely honest, I'm listening to the YouTube playlist, and I'm playing the MV in the background. Honestly the story is great, but it bothers me that there is no clean audio on the official playlist.
Castles Crumbling (From The Vault) 3/5
+0.5 It has many synthetic touches aaaaa we were going so well :( // +1.5 HOW HAYLEY SOUNDS, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL HARMONY! They sound so good // +2 The song that was about fame and how it affected her life was missing on this album :( this song is sad and tragic and beautiful at the same time
Foolish One(From The Vault) 3.5/5
+1 What beautiful instrumental // +1 She is singing the song to me who doesn't talk to any human being apart from my family. // +1.5 Definitely my song
It's strange but I feel like the quality has gone down on the From The Vault songs, but they are still beautiful
Timeless (From The Vault) 3/5
Here the lyrics feel like a mixture of ideas that is difficult to make sense of in a song with these lyrics, I guess she wanted to make an overly complicated image OF HER OWN STORY, But if she was simply talking about people and how time affected love in general, and not directed at a single muse, the whole scene would have been better, but HEY, this song already came out like this so ...
Conclusion: I know I've criticized TTPD a lot, but I remember reading many times that Taylor Swift's last album was similar to this one, because of the number of long lines, and yes they do. But to TTPD, TTPD lacked life, not emotion, life. I don't know how to explain it, but even Midnights had more life than TTPD. I understand that these are all individual concepts and completely difficult to put together.
Further, speaking about Speak Now (Taylor's Version) there are some VERY good things on the original album and others that are good, but I feel that in the From The Vault section the quality dropped a lot.
3.5-4/5

Hello, my name is Nepal Hilal, and I want to tell you my story. I am a mother of four children. My husband traveled to Europe 7 years ago and has not yet obtained residency, and I suffer from kidney disease. The left kidney was damaged in the 2018 war. Now the right kidney is functioning at 20 percent. Now there is war and there are no hospitals. Due to the difficult situation, I want to create this campaign for the benefit of my four children and their mother. We were displaced inside the Gaza Strip more than five times. My house was destroyed, and he had no place to sleep except a tent. This is difficult for children under 12 years old. I suffer from kidney health problems, and my condition is deteriorating due to lack of treatment. Therefore, I need your help in transporting me and my family from Gaza to Egypt. So I can receive my treatment for my kidneys, but it costs a large amount of travel fees and the cost of treatment, and I want to build a room and a hall after that. That, and I can't afford it, so I'm asking you to help by donating or sharing. I look at my family kindly. thank you all.
Ok, to continue my content, a pool
I think these polls are more than anything to find out which album is most famous among the options I put... Anyway, which one is next
There's something that I think is going to happen. Like, when Rep TV is just a whisper, something that is no longer given importance due to so much hype, that's when it will be released. She's going to make the ball grow as much as possible, don't you understand? I mean, aren't you tired of making theories and seeing where there is none? Look, I know Reputation was and is a much loved album, but she moved on and has more stories to tell.
I say this in a good way, The Tortured Poets Department is a great album despite personal tastes; I also think that all the 'Digital Version's' are unnecessary and it wouldn't be a good way to profit from the album. Unfortunately the aesthetics and themes of it are VERY debatable and confusing and not in ways that make you feel empathy or make you understand. But i'm no mastermind.
What I mean is, calm down and enjoy. You're going to be angry, you're going to be resentful, and you probably won't even notice when it happens. We had So Long London all the way through, DBTC x GC, and Florida!!! today, It's seriously disrespectful to ask for an album when we probably had the completion of the newest one and it should be the most important one NOW. And what if she wants to keep it for herself and What if she's really mad at the audience (Swifties and not) for asking for this when she's already got plenty out of it? Same thing from But Daddy I Love Him repeats itself.
Again, please stop, calm down or you will end up more disappointed than usual.
