This whole album is a cinematic movie board
I agree
In a way it reminds me of "The Last 5 Years"
Couldn't agree more!
It was so interesting to see the dynamic of both of you reacting from different gender perspectives. From the female perspective you were trying to blame James for miss leading the girl in the song. From the male perspective of reaction, you were trying to blame the girl in the song for expecting more when she shouldn’t have. In relationships this is how things go wrong, blaming each other and misinterpreting situations.
very true!!! 🙏🙏
i know it is kind of off topic but do anyone know a good place to watch new tv shows online ?
@Rhys Tatum Flixportal =)
@Calvin Damon Thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) Appreciate it !!
@Rhys Tatum Glad I could help :D
I love how she presents all points of view of the love triangle. Not to excuse cheating, but I appreciate how she presents the emotional damage of it rather than the morality. I hope you continue to listen to the album, aside from the love triangle, the points of view of the stories go from stages in life, age, etc.
same! can't wait to check the rest out!
August is a sad song in disgust. She wanted James even though she knew he wasn’t his....James should be in jail in my opinion😭
James in that story is an a**hole. He cheated and that's that.
@casually cruel exactly. True. All people will try to flirt with you, but IT IS YOUR responsibility if you have a partner, to say NO and stay away.
i literally cried when she sang "cause you werent mine to lose" 😭😭😭
Z T omg yes! I hate James 😭
And “cancel my plans just in case you call” 😭😭 she deserves better
For me August is the month August, it's a summer love so all the memories take her back to August, it became somehow the representation of their love, their love is over "August slipt away", "like a bottle of wine" because she was so into it that she couldn't see how it ended so fast, that's my interpretation of it.
love this!!
If you watched the folklore long pond studio sessions, Taylor Swift refers her as August or Augustine.
august sipped away......we do not belong to anyone or any time........we belong to our creator.
@@colby_247 Augusta not August
this makes me think of illicit affairs. I feel like all of the songs are linked. it’s so good 💯
Yeah but illicit affairs is like too mature...like cheating in a marriage perhaps? Or at least Ike grown up adults not seventeen year olds
Illicit affair certainly plays into the same themes.. illicit affairs is my favourite song on the album lyrically. I think you’ll will have a great time dissecting the imagery and words used .. it’s beautiful .. very poetic
Also this is me trying also feels connected to the story maybe from Betty or James pov
Like "hoax" and "mad woman" could connect to "the last American dynasty"
All songs are linked
This song is literally my fave from the album. Everytime i listen to it, it takes me to the scenes of, like, a movie. Like i can see the beach, the mall, the road where August said "get in the car" to James. Omg i feel emotional when it comes to this song!!!!!!
August is the last month of summer, so as it was a summer fling she means that Agust slipped away to fast and that it's just a memory in time.
September is the last summer month.
The name of the guy this song is about isn't August, it's actually James and it was revealed in the song Betty :)
Well tbh even though his name is James i love the idea that August would be the name of the love, like naming a concept, an idea, after all once the song is out there's no truth above the one of the listener! The author is dead said Barthes!
Isn't James a girl?
@@quantumwitcher9376 people theorise that james is a girl because the two names mentioned in Betty : James and Inez are blake lively and ryan reynolds daughters names
@@SC-hi6tp But that maybe James a boy too because in Betty song James said that Betty dance with another boy, so I think James is boy too (btw sorry my bad English)
James, Betty and Augustine..
i just loved how your heads move exactly the same with corresponds to the beat of the song.
🥰🥰🥰
This album is flawless and it's masterpiece
Betty: it was just a "summer thing"
august: so much for this "summer love"
I am hurt.
James just used her as a pass time.
guys your comments hurt bigtime haha
This line is so good "August slip away", "like a bottle of wine" and it is very interesting. A good metaphor, b'coz when wine is so long to be fermented the better the taste. Just like her summer love at first, she thought that it is only a fling and no string attach but when their affair continous and obliviously her feelings get's deeper. Tho she knew that she is just a side chic.
I think she keeps referring to August because deep down she knew this was a summer love and August was the end-end of summer- and no matter how bad she wanted it, August was always there, reminding her of the end that was coming.
This album naturally would push something like a Taylor Swift musical (movie or show). Chillz
omg I loved the August name explanation, and it makes sense..for her James would always be "August"
also deep respect for rooting for Pacey and Joey...the best otp ever!!!!!!
you had us looking up otp and at first, we only found "one time password" lol but finally figured it out 😅😅 soo glad you enjoyed!!
@@BeardsBrains omg 😂😂
Love how in depth you guys look into the lyrics
Your reactions to taylor swift are amazing! I want more 😂
😂🙏 thank you!!
the more i dig into this song lyrics the more pain im feeling. . hoooo
this song has one of my favorite lines in the entire album. Jay, you weren't mine to lose. Ang guapo mo po 🤤
I always cry with those three songs.
She should be illegal JSJSJS best writer ever
the whole album is a freaking god tier masterpiece
I love the passion about Dawson's Creek. haha
😂😂
The more I listen to this song, the more it became painful to me and feel pity for the girl. James is getting in my nerve.
You know what? React to the whole damn album I can guarantee you won't be disappointed...
I love how you guys pay attention to the lyrics ❤️
This was my late brother's favorite song.... Hope I get to meet his "August" 🥺
Okay I'm having a reaction marathon on this channel haha
Please react to Betty. It’s the sequel to August :)
you got it! 🥰
@@BeardsBrains + illicit affairs kind of describe the scenario
From 1:50 I love you guys' synchronized head nodding lol.
😂
got us looking at 1:50 😂
Please react to Taylor Swift Mad woman, the 1 and invisible string
and my tears ricochet and seven
i think the trilogy in this album is not just focusing on the 3 songs. They're some songs that are connected to the trilogy and together for example you connect the puzzles you can form a whole story or a novel.
the name of the side chick is Augustine
Really love your reactions! Hope that you guys can react to every song on folklore and even her older albums
thank you for your support 🥰
U guys look gorgeous together ! May god bless U forever!
& FoLkLoRE ah Just Wow
I can't define this album in words
Just precious Album by precious artist
aww thank you 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@BeardsBrains can u react Entire breathe In breathe out album by Hilary duff it such a Underrated Masterpiece
I really love how you guys be interpreting the lyrics unlike some other channels!!!
Source: Tumblr (anna-loves-tay) this is a theory about folklore, which I love! Pretty interesting.
This story connects all the songs from the album. You guys might find this interesting.
(You guys might have to listen to all the album to understand)
I think I’ve figured out folklore’s chronology
James Betty Rebekah Taylor
1. seven is the first song in the folklore story and it’s told by James and it’s about him falling in love with Betty when they were younger. “Your braids like a pattern” “our love lasts so long” this lyric shows the naïve-ness of childhood love. The lyric “your dad is always mad” comes up when Betty writes cardigan “leaving like a father” so we can assume James is talking to and about Betty.
2. peace is the story of Rebekah and James’ affair and is told by Rebekah. Lyrics like “I never had the courage of my convictions” & “as long as danger is near” suggest that this is at the start of the affair and Rebekah knows that she can’t ever be “the one” for him but she can keep him company “I’m a fire and I’ll keep your brittle heart warm”. She also shows that it isn’t serious in the lyric “I talk shit about you to my friends, it’s like I’m wasting your honour”.
3. mirrorball is also told through Rebekah about the affair “Hush, when no one is around, my dear” “shining just for you” but as the affair is coming to an end “I know they said the end is near” but she is more invested in their relationship than James is, a contrast to peace. She doesn’t want it to end just yet “I’m still trying everything to keep you looking at me”
4. my tears ricochet is written as Betty when she first finds out about the affair. “did I deserve, babe, all the hell you gave me?” and “I swear I loved you” shows the initial hurt and regret she feels about being invested into a relationship in which he was not.
5. exile is the dialogue between Rebekah and James as their relationship ended. We can deduce that it’s between the two of them by lyrics such as “we always walked a very thin line” is complementary to “as long as danger is near” in peace, and “now I’m leaving out the side door” which suggests that people didn’t know about the two of them being in the same place so they needed to leave separately or maybe she didn’t want to face anyone else by leaving through the main door.
6. illicit affairs is then told by Rebekah who is reflecting on the end of the affair. “Put the perfume back on the shelf that you picked out just for him so you leave no trace behind, like you don’t even exist” shows that she feels unwanted or she genuinely fell in love with James. “it dies a million little times” is a continuation of mirrorball’s “and when I break, it’s in a million pieces”. The anger and resentment is shown clearest in the lyric “look at this idiotic fool that you made me” which suggests instant regret.
7. hoax is a continuation of my tears ricochet but the two have a little bit of distance in between. “Screaming ‘give me a reason’” and “your faithless love’s the only hoax I believe in” suggests that she truly loves James but he took it for granted. She’s confused as to why he did what he did.
8. this is me trying is James’ inner monologue as he’s apologising to Betty. This track comes between betty’s bridge and last verse which is proved by the lyric “I’m here in your doorway” while, in betty, it’s “so I showed up at your party”
9. betty is James’ apology to Betty for cheating on her. He confesses that “it was just a summer thing”, wants to “make it up to [her]” and asks for forgiveness.
10. cardigan is Betty’s initial response to James’ apology where she feels loved again “you put me on and said I was your favourite”. We know that this is only the initial reaction because of how quickly she accepts his apology in betty and her need to be loved.
11. august is Rebekah’s reflection on her relationship with James but the maturity of the lyrics suggests that it is a while after they ended. “Whispers of ‘are you sure?’ ‘Never have I ever before’” suggest innocence with a tint of secrecy.
12. invisible string is told by Rebekah about her falling in love with Bill. “Hell was the journey but it brought me heaven” is a reference to her relationship with James and so is “cold was the steel of my axe to grind for the boys who broke my heart”. The lyric “gave me no compasses gave me no signs” can be linked to “I gave so many signs” in exile.
13. the 1 is Betty’s reflection on her relationship with James and how naïve they were to believe they would last forever. This is suggested in lyrics like “if my wishes came true, it would’ve been you”. However, we can deduce that Betty is older while writing this because of her acknowledgement of Rebekah “chase two girls, lose the one” and “if you wanted me, you should’ve shown”
14. the last great american dynasty is Rebekah’s story told by Taylor and it’s the song which allows her to enter her own story because of Rebekah owning Taylor’s home before her. Rebekah inherited a lot of money from Bill and the town questions her motives.
15. mad woman is told by Rebekah and is possibly about the people who drove her out of Rhode Island with lyrics like “you poke that bear til the claws come out” and “women like hunting witches too” which suggests that everyone was after her. The most powerful lyric is probably “you made her like that” suggesting that Rebekah became the way she is because of how people saw and treated her.
16. epiphany, in the storyline, tells the end of each of the characters’ endings told by Taylor. James goes to war where her has a flesh wound and he’s “bleeding out” while the women are “crashing out”. It doesn’t necessarily say that they all died but it wraps up their endings and Taylor will “serve” and “fall” with the characters she’s made up.
thank you so much for sharing this 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Eliza C Is the name Rebekah mentioned in any of the songs? How do we know that’s the name of August girl??
@@eramars5699 its somehow mentioned in The Last Great American Dynasty
Oh my god YES. this is my stan song. Please do "Illicit affairs" and Last great american dynasty
Illicit affairs is not connected to the triangle, but it should be. It’s a song about cheating as well. It’s really good! Please react to it. 🙏
I think james still cheating on betty in their older yrs.
@@nicoaguirre2187 In Cardigan Betty talks in past sense and says he "tried to change the ending" as well as "choose two girls, lose the one", pretty sure they didnt get together after James apologized
@@anabergespolo8631 james didn't show up to party, he just went there but scared to talk to betty. In 'the 1', the line says, ' and if u wanted me u really should have showed'. Also in 'this is me trying', jamed said 'it is hard to be at a party when u feel like an open wound'. So i guess, James followed his fears and ended up not talking to betty and saying sorry. Coward.
The whole album is connected. Check out @swiftietillmylastbreath on ig for the order.
@@vrutikarao2005 That's a theory that completely ignores what Taylor has said about what My Tears Ricochet or Epiphany are about
You guys need to dissect "the last great american dynasty"
I think that illicit affairs is also from the point of view the side chick
i think illicit affairs is from the perspective of another cheating girl. the album is just a bunch of perspectives of stories by word of mouth, hence the name "Folklore"
I really want to listen to your insights on Invisible String. I love that song
we love with our hearts, not our eyes.
Wow, I like how y'all analyzed it deep. 💕
The whole Dawson's creek love triangle at the end made my day!
Salt air, and the rust on your door
I never needed anything more
Whispers of "Are you sure?"
"Never have I ever before"
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
Your back beneath the sun
Wishin' I could write my name on it
Will you call when you're back at school?
I remember thinkin' I had you
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
Back when we were still changin' for the better
Wanting was enough
For me, it was enough
To live for the hope of it all
Cancel plans just in case you'd call
And say, "Meet me behind the mall"
So much for summer love and saying "us"
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
You weren't mine to lose, no
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
'Cause you were never mine, never mine
But do you remember?
Remember when I pulled up and said, "Get in the car"
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
"Meet me behind the mall"
Remember when I pulled up and said, "Get in the car"
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all (For the hope of it all)
For the hope of it all
For the hope of it all
(For the hope of it all)
(For the hope of it all)
this is a serious reaction video...
I love it!

Ohh my .. you should talk about how the song sounds sonically as well
i like your reactions to this album, do more of the songs
I like ur interpretation of the song
Really loves your reaction 😍😭
🥰 thank youuu!!
Im a fan of this two reactors 😊 keep it up 👏👏👏 im enjoying watching you react to taylor swift's song.. ❤❤❤
She's using "august" as a reference to the month. Summer period lasts from June 21 to September 23.
I think the girl saying get in the car , means she was the one who instigated the whole thing.
🤔 wow
I love this!!! Fr!
aww 🥰
Ilike that you react to songs individually
PACEY AND JOEY FOR THE WIN
i absolutely love this song. only for certain lines. back when we were still changing for the better......wanting was enough....for the hope of it all.....do you remember ? it speaks to a simple innocence, not the twisted bedsheets.....but for the hope of it all......my take away is the loss of innocence. it is sad. i wish taylor was a sweet, simple, innocent pro lifer. but that was then . . .do you remember ? :(
CAN'T WAIT FOR BETTY.
YOU'RE NODDING IN SYNC 😂
The side-chick is Augustine.
Next should be illicit affairs and this is me trying
Those songs seem connected to this love triangle
Omggg now react to BETTY!!!!!!!!
we got you 🤗
I want his shirt, anyone know the brand?
what the hell, u are genius :( sorry but Im subscribing to ur channel :)
thank you so much 🥰🥰
Because I love this song so much I watch these reactions but for me you lose something trying to understand it implicitly, you just have to feel it and interpret the music rather than the words.?Hope and loss, resignation, just an awesome feeling which is relatable because we’ve all been there.
I need to make a ridiculous comment: dude you sound like pete davidson
I'm loving your reactions btw hahah
I believe her name is Inez and August is he month
nooo inez is another character, probably one of betty’s friends
pls react to my tears ricochet next the lyrics are soo good here
Please react to Taylor Swift's AMA performance of I Did Something Bad
React to illicit affairs and my tears ricochet
react to illicit affairs. It can be correlated to the trilogy
You guys are made to react Taylor's song
🥰🥰 appreciate that so much!!
Please react to mad women or betty
She is talking about the actual month of August. The side girl's name is Inez.
But Inez is the one who tattled James to Betty, no? Hmmm...
nah iss Rebekah
react to Holiday by Little Mix !
Illicit affair is more of the POV of side chick
React Hoax by Taylor please
Please react to my tears recochet
The three people are James (point of view in Betty), Betty (point of view in Cardigan), and Inez (who is the point of view in the song August)
no. inez is not the sidechick, inez is just a gossip girl
@@zenitsuagatsuma9220 she IS the side chick. Lol
@@zenitsuagatsuma9220 "you can't believe a word she said, but this time it's true"
noooo Inez is another character, probably one of Betty’s friends (or just a girl who loves to gossip or sumn)
Sam Elijah Lien in Betty she said “you heard the rumors FROM Inez” and not “you heard the rumors ABOUT Inez” so Inez definitely is not the august girl
Illicit affairs is also from the pov of the other woman, although maybe not the same one
interesting 🤔
So was it ever confirmed if James was guy or girl? I was under the impression that James is a girl because of swift using the names of Ryan Reynolds and Blake livelys children, who are all girls.
🤔🤔🤔🤔 thank you for this!!!
First
🥳 thank you!!
Beards & Brains ofc I love your guys vids keep it up
Can you react to Taylor swift seven
innocence. i hit my peak at seven. and then the loss of innocence. i get it. the world comes crashing in :(
Come on, you interrupted the best part!
Your pausing timing are terrible tho .. you paused at best parts of the song
Mte 😂
they're going back tho like 5 seconds back.
