Ttpd The Anthology - Tumblr Posts

Hi, it's me. Again to talk about Taylor Swift, this time of TTPD: The Anthology.

I'm going to be honest, honestly the first part was mainly emotionally draining. When I finished "Clara Bow" I felt like I was going to cry with all my might, even though I loved it. Over time, I grew fond of and understood many of the songs and I mean I didn't understand them until later.

Psychologically, it opened many wounds that I thought had closed. And can I say... a week and a half after the album came out I started therapy! (Perfect timing). And something tells me, this part of the album is going to be more painful. That's why I've been kicking it (as well as listening to Red, evermore and Speak Now).

OK, LET'S START. Again, no expectations and I have heard VERY little of some songs and... I am not speaking English and sometimes I forget that I am speaking the language.

(Dividers by: @saradika-graphics and I think I took the photo from Taylor Swift's official website, if not, sorry, but I don't remember

SONG LIST:

The Black Dog 4.5/5

+ 2 OH MY GOD THE MUSIC!! // +1.5 old habits die SCREEEEEEAMEENG --- EVEN IF I DIE SCREEEEAMEENG... That's what I have to say about the lyrics //+1 her voice... :(

It can't be, I love this song and it's the first time I've heard it. I listen to the music from yt, from the lyric videos. And I don't read them to concentrate fully on the music. And it confuses me because I am not a native English speaker, but I can understand their emotions, of wanting to go back but it is impossible and wanting to go back because it is what I knew, and and...

Want to cry at the first song, we're going VERY GOOD /SARCASTIC

Imgonnagetyouback 4.5/5

+2 The rhythm, and the strange synth pop... it's a strange perfect harmony // +1.5 For some reason it made me blush a lot and smile and I didn't even start to read the lyrics, a flirtatious vibe instantly hit me. // I hear the whispers in your eyes → whispered sights (?. //+1 She sounds great, it's a very Midnights song but without covering up and washing her voice so much, and I love it!

I don't understand much of the history of this song but obviously, I don't want to mess with it as much as the original TTPD. God, I'm loving this album so far even MORE than the original.

The Albatross FIRST 5/5

+2 HOW I LOVE BACKGROUND MUSIC, IT'S BEAUTIFUL. Fully folklore vibes // +1 I can't fully understand without reading the lyrics in the meantime... The lyrics seem easy to understand and learn. // +2 Her voice seems angry but disappointed, like telling a child that it's okay, everything is going to be okay.

I was left with my mouth open, because I would love to have heard this in 6th grade, in 1st year, in 5th year...

And I'm not going to go over all my traumas, but I always had very sensitive skin and it cut very easily... and they definitely talked about it and everyone believed that it was contagious (it was just an allergy to earth), and in my church (I went until I was 12 and I don't plan to return) they treated me like a plague because of my situation, they treated me like a liar, they treated me as less than, they excluded me from everyone, especially the parents told them that it was a bad omen...

Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus 3.5/5

+1.5 WHO PRODUCED THIS MUSIC? HE NEEDS A KISS ON THE FOREHEAD AND A HUG THAT REACHES HIS SOUL, SOMEONE THANK HIM! // + My god, the lyrics are so... it's almost indecipherable, but it doesn't sound bad. But I can decipher that it's a separation, that it's the kind of love that didn't exactly end bad, but that's it. //+0.5 It sounds like she had recorded loml before.

I can say, this is the song that I understood the least so far, but hey, at some point, if I read analysis, I will.

How Did It End? 4/5

+1.5 I love the background music, they have done an incredible job on this entire part of the album :( // +1.5 I still don't understand all of the lyrics :( but... she- i- gonna cry :D // ...1 She's forcing the voice from inside to come out, and yet it sounds beautiful, I hate that part of me

So High School 4.5/5

+2 The music is so similar to the teen bands from the 2000s movies, I love it! // +1.5 I'm not a fan of the sporty boy, but god, this song is so beautiful // +1 Taylor's voice feels so happy and the range throughout the song is a chef's kiss!

I didn't think I would like it SO MUCH! It's a beautiful song, full of a calm but active energy, almost cozy. They keep doing a great job in this part of the album!

I Hate It Here 5/5

+2 the folklore vibes, omg i LOVE it! 🤍 // +1.5 As a person who spends 80% of her day in his mind... I really love the lyric // +1.5 She sings it so softly that I want to cry.

I love this song, my dragons and knight stories love this song. Seriously, it's strange to find a song that talks JUST about what you always wanted to tell your mother.

thanK you alMee

+2 OMG The background music is the best part of this album! // +1.5 The lyrics are simple in image and short, but detailed and rich in emotion. //+1 her voice sounds very good in this song 🩷

I know that feeling but I have no legacy to be proud of and it has definitely been difficult to get to this point.

I Look in People's Windows

+1.5 again... the music is beautiful <3 // +1.5 No, this is not about my relationship (no, I don't look for him on every street around us in my neighborhood looking for his figure) // +1 It sounds so good for such a short song :(

The Prophecy 5/5

+1.5 The instrumental is... again, this part of the album and the last part of TTPD is beautiful // +2 PLEASE I'VE. ON MY. KNEES. I feel like he is talking about those things that I leave for later because I am very busy taking care of my family. // +1.5 Her voice sounds so sad and terrified, desperate. She carries the tone of the song so well that it's scary :(

Again, this song has moved things that I didn't know still existed, and I already knew because I had read some of the lyrics or parts of them in some TTPD's analysis.

Cassandra 4/5

+1.5 the instrumental, that's all i'm gonna say // +1.5 I love that it tells a concise story in the same song, but it feels messy, I can't say I don't like it // +1 again, her voice carries so well the tone of the song.

What a strange and accurate decision to put THIS song after The Prophecy. When you know you're telling the truth but no one believes you because the other person is untouchable, it's... a complete feeling that deserves an entire book and an entire year of therapy.

Peter 3.5/5

+1.5 How can an instrumental sound so like a dream and a nightmare at the same time? // +1 Can I cry? It's like seven (my favorite song) never happened :( // Every time it is more difficult to get to the other end of the album, it is so soft and at the same time so deep and painful

The Bolter 4/5

+1.5 for the instrumental // +1.5 I don't understand why I would dance to this, but I would, it's a similar song to I Can Do It With A Broken Heart // +1 her voice 🩷

The Manuscript 4.5/5

Robin 3/5

I'm going to be completely honest, I don't understand this song in particular, I'm not saying it's bad but I don't know HOW to watch it, if someone wants to explain it to me that would be great.

+1.5 sweet instrumental // +1.5 While listening to the lyrics, I remembered that man who used ALL the "older man trying to get with a younger girl" tricks that i dated.

Definitely a beautiful song to close a cycle, to say goodbye to what hurt for years, a small part let go because it no longer belongs to you.

Conclusion: it has definitely moved me and I hope that, for example, in a few years it will not do so again. It's such a beautiful and deep album. It was painful to hear, but necessary.

4.5/5

started with a kiss “ohwemuststopmeetinglikethis!” but it always ends with a town car speeding out the drive one evening. ended with the slam of a door then he’ll call her a whore, wish he wouldn’t be sore, cause as she was leaving it felt like breathin’! all her fuckin’ lives flashed before her eyes. It feels like the time she feel through the i-i-i-ce then came out alive!

WE HAVE OUR VMA 2024 LOOK!!!!

OMG OMG OMG I love this look so much!!!! I am trying so hard not to clown right now, but I want too so much. So far, she won 2 awards. One for Song of the Summer and Best Collaboration!!!

nitpicky

i LOVE "The Alchemy" by taylor swift... but my nitpicky 🍑 just has a bit of a problem in the second verse... [Verse 2] Hey, you, what if I told you we'rе cool? That child's play back in school Is forgiven under my rule I haven't come around in so long But I'm making a comeback to where I belong

ok thats the second verse. but what i personally have problem is is the underlined lines. MORE specifically the very last line's "where I belong"

BECAUSE why is the stress in the "BE" of belong instead of the "I"??????? youre telling me "where I belong" sounds better than "where I belong"?????????????

Who Hurt You? 💔 (my cottagecore aesthetic moodboard and Taylor Swift - I Hate It Here music video)

Flower Bomb 🌼 (my lover music video)

I HATE IT HERE

I'm lonely but I'm good I'm bitter but I swear I'm fine I'll save all my romanticism for my inner life and I'll get lost on purpose This place made me feel worthless Lucid dreams like electricity, the current flies through me, and in my fantasies I rise above it And way up there, I actually love it I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind People need a key to get to The only one is mine I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child No mid-sized city hopes and small town fears I'm there most of the year Cause I hate it here I hate it here

And then she drops The Anthology...

me after listening to the most emotionally devastating song I have ever heard because an even more upsetting one is about to start

I just realized this and she is brilliant for it

just realized she changes the lyric in i can do it with a broken heart (he said he’d love me all my life/he said he’d love me for all time) because two different people made and broke this promise during this story

fuck it if i can't have us he knows how to ball i know aristotle so i leap from the gallows and i levitate down your street and for a fortnight FLORIDA!!!!!! i look in people's windows like i'm some deranged weirdo cross your thoughtless heart only liquor anoints you my beloved ghost and me, d-y-i-n-g i would've died for your sins instead i just died inside and you deserve prison but you won't get time i'm so depressed i act like it's my birthday everyday

this is my brain 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and this is not even an exhaustive list of the lyrics bouncing around my brain constantly...

👋
