There's Something That I Think Is Going To Happen. Like, When Rep TV Is Just A Whisper, Something That
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.

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 🩷 // +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 🩷
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



https://gofund.me/4b62ac7d
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.
Hello, I don't know if I'm going to publish this, but I need to talk about EACH SONG in particular.
Context: I listen to a lot of music, from TS my favorite albums are 1989, folklore and reputation. I started listening to her music "seriously" when she released midnights. But once I heard folklore and 1989 I didn't listen to it again, I still don't know why.
I don't consider myself a swiftie, so I don't know how this is going to end. I know a little bit where you're coming from and I looked up some info RIGHT before I started listening.
Disclosure: I'm really doing this because I started with ZERO expectations with each song.
SONGS LIST:
Fortnight: 2.5/5
+1 Post Malone's voice! and Tay's voice gives it the tone, it seems like a ballad song // +1 I think it's almost impossible to sound VERY depressed or very sad with synth pop, point in favor (and I'm going to take that point because the fast beat is definitely something insistent and distracting, it covers up a lot their voices) // ...1 It has a lot of lyrics, I really feel that it doesn't match the rhythm, it's like waiting for something that never comes...
I actually love long lyrics and I like that, but at the same time it's really strange because I would expect it from a ballad or a sad song.
The Tortured Poets Department: 1.5/5
+1 If it were a sad pop song... // -1 THAT BLESSED INSISTENT TIME... WHO DID THIS?? // +1 She is ANGRY, but she doesn't usually verbalize it so much, she tends to construct very complex images... So I like that // ...1 The first 4 seconds reminded me of Afterglow (one of the first songs I heard and one of my favs)
On another note, I was really waiting to hear this song, there are lines that sound good like... THE NAME OF THE SONG. But I also didn't expect that the same thing that happened to me with Midnight Rain and I would find it unsatisfactory (it doesn't take much to like a song, really).
She really expected so much from him and knew him so much, and it feels like she's fighting not to screw this up anymore. That's why I say, this song is like something I would say to one of my exes.
My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys: 3/5
+4 Really Taylor's voice this time fits with the musical composition, still very full of synth-pop, But a little more pleasant to listen to. // -1 With the lyrics I can only visualize a little boy with a mother... I'm pretty sure almost none of her exes are children.
I really like this song in terms of rhythms, it's something I would listen to while traveling. NOW... I feel like she is justifying something that hurt her. As if it bothers him but he prefers that to not having him by his side. I can't stop seeing the child playing and screaming and throwing a tantrum. So yeah, a good one and a bad one.
Down Bad: 3.5/5
+2 This one too, its pacing is also good, a little unsatisfactory, but a little better in the end. // ...1 It sounds depressing, definitely. And I don't know how to feel about that. // ...1 She also sounds like she's drunk, talking in an interview about one of her exes. If anything, it also sounds like a drunk text to your ex.
Like I said, she sounds drunk, like she's trying to tell her ex how she is, but she doesn't finish forming words and ends up repeating the same thing over and over again. She is angry about how things turned out.
So Long, London: 3.5/5
+2 THAT INTRO IS FANTASTIC... Until the synth pop starts in all its glory, but it's still wonderful. // +1 The lyric is the sequel to You're Losing Me! // ...1 Towards the end it begins to be unfilling and depressive.
I'm going to be honest, while I'm doing this I'm listening to each song on loop to then put my thoughts in order. With this song in particular, I'm in awe and it only took me one time. She is really angry with the pandemic, with him and with the world. She sounds so broken and angry...
But Daddy I Love Him: 2.5/5
+1 Good rhythm, I like that it doesn't feel SO heavy. // +1 The lyric is really strange, completely taken from a VERY bad romantic comedy where the grandmother talks about her past. // ...1 Half a point (or a little more because of how relatable it is in some parts) // -1 Because of the Matty controversy... What were you doing with him? And why does he have a song all for him? It's really weird.
When I started to see about this controversy (today) and searched for this, I never thought that the song I most expected to hear was about him. It's like my non-existent expectations are destroyed. I usually don't pay attention to these things, but seriously, she tells you. It seems to me that she knows, and she has no regrets. It's like a slap in the face from YDTCD.
Fresh Out the Slammer: 4/5
+2 It's the first sad song that sounds sad! And I completely approve. // +1 “He said, she said, they did it too” is what the song feels like. Start accepting that it's over. // ...1 It's like a strange apology.
This may be one of my favorite songs SO FAR... I don't have much to say about this one, I feel like in general it's a nice sad song
(hay algunas canciones que no van a tener mucha explicación como antes porque se me borraron :D)
Florida!!!: 2.5/5
I don't usually like collaborations, but I don't dislike this one. The relationship between the instrumental and the lyrics is understood. It makes me think about her. power not to cry in full concert.
Guilty as Sin?: 3/5
I like the rhythm, the lyrics really scream DELUSION. I've been there, yes, it's me. But seriously, the emotional affair...
Who’s Afraid Of Little Old Me?: 5/5
My instant favorite! I feel like she still has every right to be mad at all of them.
I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can): 2.5/5
Reminds me of my first relationship... OMG
loml: 3.5/5
A sad lullaby, I have little tears :(
I Can Do It With A Broken Heart: 4.5/5
Drunk comedy granny again, makes me think about her mental and emotional state on tour. The instrumental makes me a little sick. But definitely one of my favs strangely.
The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived: 2.5/5
God, a supposedly two-week relationship turned into a disaster... No future and she just wants me to confirm what she always knew and what they told her.
The Alchemy: 2.5/5
Apparently it's a love song, if so, it's a very nice one. It makes me think that possibly she feels she didn't feel so deserving of love, but it really made her see the opposite.
Clara Bow: 4.5/5
Wow, just wow!
OVERALL: 3.5/5
I've seen a lot of people say that it's not their best work, but I can say that it hasn't been their best. I'll probably do the second part The Manuscript later.
Ok, to continue my content, a pool
As a result of this survey done, I am going to listen to Reputation again. Well, like I said before, this album is marked with a yes on my TS song list, I literally have a PDF.

Story time! I listened to this album in full for the first time 6 months ago AND I haven't heard a song from this album in about a month and a half. I'm going to be honest, I'm not THAT much of a fan of making this post because I really, really wanted to wait for Reputation TV and rate it from there but seeing and considering that it's not going to happen at the moment, I think I'll do a post in due time, but only with the songs from the vault.
This said and clarified (I have no idea why I clarify it, if no one is going to see this anyway)...
LET'S START!
(Dividers by @saradika-graphics I took the cover from Taylor Swift's official website)

SONG LIST:

... Ready For It? 4/5
+1.5 I love the instrumental, it takes my neurodivergent brain from one place to another and it feels like a raging sea... I don't know how to explain how much I love this song because of the inst // +1 I like her voice in this song, it's like here you begin to see the maturity she has now. // +1.5 Honey, please, those lyrics no matter how much time has passed, they make me blush a little every time I dance to the song.
I love this song, for the opening of an album it is PERFECT, just like Welcome To NY. Just listening to the beginning I know this is going to hit a little after the muse of this album is gone.
End Game 3.5/5
+1 That constant instrumental is so powerful! // +2.5 Future and Ed definitely shined! Taylor definitely wanted to try something different for this and it turned out pretty well
This album is very... Very physical, a lot of physical attraction and a lot of resentment, but we're not going to talk about it yet.
I didn't remember this song being this good the first time I heard it, but after listening to TTPD:TA, folklore, and 1989 TV for 2 months straight, it all feels VERY new.
I Did Someting Bad 4.5/5
+1.5 THAT INSTRUMENTAL PLEASE, HOW BEAUTIFUL! // +1.5 THEY SAY I DID SOMETHING BAD ... So Go aHEAD AND LIGHT ME UP // +1.5 I'll be honest, I can see why singing this song in the original Eras Tour setlist could be dangerous for her even though it's something that would be iconic.
My favorite Reputation song, honestly.
Don't Blame Me 4.5/5
+1.5 for the instrumental, everything is said. // +2 I don't regret having cried this song the first time I heard it, because I don't understand how it managed to reach every little part of my brain. // +1 She sounds SO GOOD in this song!
Yes, I know I said I Did Something Bad was my favorite song, but THIS ONE, THIS ONE makes me float and gives me a feeling of peace and euphoria at the same time...
Delicate 3.5-4/5
+1.5 Inst // +1.5 It's the happiest Track 5 of hers in my opinion, she really was in love in the midst of so many horrible things. // +0.5 Her voice sounds so soft, so beautiful...
As I said, it's her happiest Track 5 and one of my favorites in all of Reputation. It was definitely delicate.
Look What You Made Me Do 3.5/5
+1.5 This shit goes hard // +0.5 I think the part I like the least is the repetition of phrases, I know it's a very used resource on the album but this song sometimes gets a little tiring, it's iconic but eee // +1.5 she sounds sooo good in this album
I think it's obvious that this song has everything to be iconic, even for people who don't listen to TS, this song just sticks in your mind and doesn't let you go. Don't worry, I think there are some songs I like less than this one.
So It Goes... 4/5
+1 WHY ARE THESE INSTRUMENTALS SO GOOD?! // +1.5 I hadn't heard the lyrics that well the first time as I got carried away with the instrumental. // +1.5 SHIT HER VOICE !!!!
It really has very sexy and even strong lyrics, but I think it's also very intimate and cute, it feels like you're interrupting something very private. I think this song should be talked about more. I must confess that I wasn't a fan at first but it's too good, I hope this one doesn't get worse on REP TV.
Gourgeous 4/5
+1.5 I'm afraid that I like the instrumentals so much in case REP TV totally breaks them... // +2 Come drunk Tay, thanks for saying what I usually think when I have a crush // +0.5 She should definitely get somxe songs like this back on her new albums
I didn't remember this song being as good the first time I heard it, I may have been sick of hearing it everywhere, but now it feels brand new, all of Reputation really
Getaway Car 4.5/5
+1.5 That's a beautiful instrumental // +1.5 I don't want to make as many bad comments as I did in TTPD, BUT, it seems that common sense took over. In some parts it seems like an apology and in others a justification for what she did to the two of them. In any case, a gem of a song. // +0.5 I LOVE THOSE HIGH NOTES, why didn't you include it on the Eras Tour?
I think this song had the 'Cruel Summer' Effect, that the fans loved it so much that it was sung on the Eras Tour, but I guess due to legal issues, it couldn't be done, I WANT TO BELIEVE IT, LEAVE ME ALONE. In the same way, I don't want to get so attached because I already see that they do the same thing as some songs on TV.
King Of My Heart 4/5
+1 Instrumental<3 // +2 I love everything about this production regarding the production, this is the song that has repetition that bothers me the least because they don't feel // +1 I don't know what else to comment, this song is simply iconic
At first I didn't like it but every time I did it, I liked it more. I imagine an edit of those ballrooms while everyone dances in a circle around the protagonists.
Dancing With Our Hands Tied 4.5/5
+2 Now, this song seems to me more about life in the gothic palace and a dance party to celebrate the presentation of a vampire who meets her lover and they dance all night // +1.5 The lyrics make me feel like I'm going to drown and they're rescuing me from the storm // +1 Yes, her voice makes me fly and have chills in this song
Is this my favorite song from all of Reputation? Yes. Do I regret it? No. Am I going to change my mind? Definitely not. Am I afraid that they will ruin it for me on TV? Obviously
Dress 3.5/5
+1.5 How can the music production be SO good? // +2 Oh I have definitely felt this lyric at some point in a personal level.
I understand why this song is so loved, I didn't understand it before, but now I can feel why it is so popular and loved. The first time I heard this song I definitely wasn't impressed, but after the strange disaster that was TTPD this album feels like glory.
This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things 3.5/5
+1 I don't like the instrumental alone THAT much, but it fits the song // +1.5 The lyrics are so "disappointed mom" it hurts, and it's also so funny and whimsical at the same time... // +1 her voiceee aaaaa
Another song that I heard everywhere and I got fed up, the first time it didn't impress me and now it seems like a jewel in the middle of all the stones. I love that it is so happy and at the same time so bittersweet. Gives me I Can Do It With A Broken Heart vibes.
Call It What You Want 4/5
+2 The instrumental is perfect and scratches the right parts of my brain <3 // +2 The lyrics really represent the situation that existed between the muse and the artist at that time and it is beautiful. I can assure you that I have felt this song in my bones
This is in my current Rep top three, I swear it always was. I love this song, it's so free and limitless, so soft and so secure that it's just perfect!
New Year's Day 3/5
+1 It's a cute instrumental // +1.5 It is a tender lyric and sometimes even sad in some lines. // +0.5 The song is strange, it doesn't convince me...
It's strange because after listening to folklore and saying that it is my favorite album, I wanted to like this song more, but it still doesn't convince me. This song feels so out of place compared to the rest, but it still goes with the retrospective theme. I'll see if it convinces me or not...
Conclusion: I feel a little bad for loving Reputation in the places I dislike MOST about TTPD (the weird synth-pop especially). But I don't know if you can blame me when each instrumental doesn't feel like it's taking more prominence than the main vocal. Also, each song feels like a unique song within the WHOLE album. I think the ones that are most similar are LWYMMD and IDSB, or Delicate and DWOHT. But the rest are definitely different from each other. That seems to me to be the part that has failed tremendously TTPD
4.5/5
