Thanks for watching the video - Zábava
"Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life" was literally the best and most powerful line from that song.
Yes, that part gets me every time. I cried the first time I heard it. Taylor’s a genius writer.
its been a whole year but also her trying to convince herself she can leave but at the end repeating “i sit and watch you” meaning she won’t leave.
I still think "I Know my love should be celebrate it... but you tolerate it" is the best. Like I know my selfworth but I'm still here...
Insane such a good lyric
I'm not saying this to be adversarial ... but literally, that is not at all one of the best/most powerful lines from the song, haha. It's abstract imagery, which tends to be widely relatable but not nearly as visceral as concrete images or actions. The line you're referring to is rather mundane and I'd expect any songwriter/poet to come up with it. The most powerful part of the song is the switch-up of the chorus after the bridge. Because we inherently expect a chorus to be repeated, the repetition of the familiar melody while changing the lyrics draws our attention and makes them more poignant. "Took this dagger in me and removed it," for instance, is a wonderfully concrete image with strong action and powerful metaphor -- and objectively a much better line. Everyone is entitled to their personal preferences, of course, but from a professional author with an MFA in English literature (specifically poetry), I have to object to the "literally the best" assessment. Cheers.
The most heartbreaking part to me is that the song starts and ends with “I sit and watch you” because even after all that, after noticing what she’s noticed and feeling what she’s feeling, after knowing she COULD leave, she can’t make herself do it and continues to sit and watch. HAPPY TAYLOR RECS from folklore/evermore (or at least not…sad?): no body no crime, invisible string, long story short, betty(?Kinda?) I wouldn’t really call those songs “happy” (except invisible string!) but they’re definitely more positive/optimistic. If you’re willing to check out outside of those two Lover has a BUNCH of happy songs-it’s happy in love Taylor. I especially love paper rings and I think he knows!
Exactly. The song ends with *her* tolerating it
Yes
Exactly, when I was like YEA GIRL LEAVE EM the ending had an uno reverse card and it actually made me cry that she stayed
I get literally so much joy from watching someone experience her music for the first time, it literally almost hurts it’s so satisfying.
For me, the last line of the song "I sit and watch you..." means she never breaks up and never confronts him and just continues to live that sad life and that's even more devastating 😭😭😭😭
I think the most heartbreaking part of the song to me is that when she sings, “Believe me, I could do it,” it sounds almost like she’s trying to convince herself more than him. 😭
The line “Now I’m begging for footnotes in the story of your life” touches us in a different level. Happy ones on folklore/evermore: ‘invisible string’, ‘long story short’.
and august- those are abt the only happy songs in her albums
@@mooncookies7803august is NOT a happy song by anyeans
@sanjanaakter9450 the lyrics aren't but the music and instrumental sounds happy and kind of disguises it
"I made you my temple my mural my sky, now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life" : this belong to my all time favorite lyrics by her.
"Tolerate it" is probably one of her saddest song. If you're looking for a happy song on Folklore/Evermore probably "invisible string" and "long story short", both are really sweet. If you want really happy Taylor go check out her older albums. Lover and 1989 are probably her most bubbly albums.
Well depends imagine if he goes to lover and go to listen soon youl get better, the archer, or death by a thousend cuts ☠️
Laughing at the need for "happy Taylor"- there are some lighter songs on Folklore/Evermore! Invisible string is a great one, the last great american dynasty, and long story short are some great ones to do next that won't make you want to go cry in the corner :).
Agreed!
That "No, no no!" In response to Taylor's absolute killer lyricism is so, so reminiscent of my initial journey a few years ago. I was kicking myself for *ages* because I missed out on this kind of incredible quality writing. Sure, her younger stuff isn't as polished, but she is good at bringing things to life almost viscerally; listening to her journey is always absolutely mind blowing and watching new fellow fans discover her is always a pleasure.
❤❤
The way you talked about how you picture yourself doing those things and relating with the song actually reminded me of Taylor cos she always say that’s exactly what she wants. People to relate with her songs. Loved your reaction, so articulate and precise!
This is the most emotional song of Taylor Swift. Such a sad song. 😞
Invisible String from FOLKLORE , And LONG STORY SHORT from EVERMORE.. Are lighter and happier. :)
Willow too is lighter.
For me the saddest song on evermore is "happiness"
A lot of people are more heartbroken when they listen to Champagne Problems, but tbh-it’s Tolerate It for me. I think I cried when I first listened to it, and I’ve never even experienced that kind of thing😭
You happened to listen to two Track 5s back to back (My Tears Ricochet from Folklore and Tolerate It from Evermore). Her track 5s are specifically the most vulnerable/sad/emotional on any album! That being said, both of these albums are definitely more on the somber side. But some stand out “happier” tracks on those albums are invisible string, Betty, the lakes, willow, gold rush, Ivy, long story short. Lover is a much happier album in general if you need an emotional palette cleanser though haha
True, two number fives back to back 😭
I wouldn't call ivy "happy" but ded a lighter tone lol
React to happiness bestie!! That shit always ends me up with sobbing all over the floor 😓😭
This song truly is heartbreaking. The stories she tells in Folklore and Evermore are incredibly well written.
Some of the greatest advice I ever heard about relationships is: “Never stop dating your wife.”
All the joyful playfulness and spontaneous things that you’d do as young kids, or as someone trying to impress your new girlfriend-continue to do those things after she’s your girlfriend and then your wife. Keep up the energy in the relationship so that neither of you fall into that lull.
Keep opening the car door for her, keep giving her piggyback rides to the front door in the rain, keep surprising her with dates out to a nice restaurant or to see a movie she wants to see.
And vice versa.
It made my marriage beautiful. Princess Bride kind of love was how a friend described it.
I lost my husband too soon. The Cadillac of deaths - a Widowmaker heart attack in his sleep at only 38.
The time we had though was extraordinary.
I went to grief groups and heard people's regrets. What they wished they had done differently. What what left unsaid.
We didn't have that.
Our last words were I love you. Plans of hope & the future. Lots of laughing.
It's a gift to be able to feel that.
The loss is painful enough. You can't control that but you can control how you treat the time you get.
The lyricism and story telling in this one is next level. Highly recommend Illicit Affairs for some more great (sad) story telling.
Happy Taylor: long story short, cruel summer, lover, dress, gorgeous. They are from diferent albums, that way you can see some of the other kind of music she does. Love your videos!
paper rings and london boy too
omg i love this song!! a little bit of trivia for you: it's inspired by the book rebecca by daphne du maurier (there's also a movie directed by alfred hitchcock). it's also the 5th song on evermore and taylor always chooses her most emotional song to be track 5
The bridge is sooo heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. 😭. Thank you for this reaction ⭐✨
Invisible string and The Lakes are happier songs off of Folklore. I am a new subscriber and I have deeper appreciation for the genius of Taylor Swift after hearing Folklore ! The song Exile is amazing and my favorite off of the album but is about a break up. I really like how you react to the lyrics and meaning as well as the music 👍🏻 I would love to hear your reaction to the whole folklore album as all the songs on there are genius!💖
This bridge gets me every time. It's so beautiful and sad at the same time. One if not my fave Taylor bridge atm. And she has many great bridges.
If you want happy Taylor then you should react to Invisible String. It's a great summery of the last 5 years of her relationship with Joe. It has great lyrics and so much clues. It would be interesting to see what you see in the lyrics because you don't know what happened in the last years. It's still one of my favorite songs of Folklore. I could just sit here smiling and being happy for her while and after hearing it. Long Story Short is great and automatical as well.
I love seeing all the love for my favorite lyrics makes me very happys btw. :)
Apparently she wrote this song after reading Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. Such a heartbreaking song 🎵
Folklore and Evermore are the pandemic albums. For me, the most happy, lovey-dovey kind of songs are in the Lover and Fearless (Taylor's Version) albums. All her albums are great. She's such a fantastic storyteller which is why when anyone is about to listen to her music, and let's say it's an entire album of hers, you better take the whole day off, sit down and get ready to be emotionally invested because you are in some way going to relate to it or understand it and it could stir up something in you. She takes you into her world and you're captivated by every word she says and every note she's hitting. And those are done on purpose. She composes songs the way she hopes it will resonate with the listener. The more you listen to her music, you can then hear some of her silly personality show up in the lyrics that the listener will understand if you've been following what's been said about her, good or bad. Almost like an inside joke. Sorry for rambling on lol.
"i made you my temple, my mural, my sky. now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life" has to be one of my all time favourite lyrics ever. but i also feel people tend to overlook the next lime, "drawing hearts in the byline"... that's also such a marvellous and heartbreaking way of saying "i still love and worship you even if you've pushed me to the sidelines"
"""Now im begging for footnotes in the story of your life""".... she is such a poet.
you might wanna check out Invisible String, a happy song about her and her current lover. also, she has a song titled Lover for her lover :)
well
You're right. That's poetry. She keeps amazing me.
Evermore and Folklore are full of painful tales that everyone can relate to, or atleast associate with people we know. She paints such real imagery layered with poetry.
Not necessarily happy songs but these are the upbeat tracks from "Evermore" you can explore :
Gold Rush, Dorothea, Long story short, No body No crime, Cowboy like me and Ivy.
Hope you like them and I just wanna let you know I really enjoy your reaction videos and the interpretations :)
Folklore has fewer upbeat tracks:
Mirrorball, The 1, Invisible string, The last great American dynasty.
Once you enter the haven of her pop albums, there are some groovy bops waiting :D
I saw someone on reddit talking about this song being in a perspective of a mother towards her child (son / daughter) . It really make sense because the part where she says, " i watch you reading with your head low" and the whole verse, then " i polish plates until they gleam and glisten". Like now that the child has grown up, the mother is having a hard time connecting with them. It seemed pretty cool ❤️
What a cool perspective!
You get it.
Great reaction. Happiness is also amazing (and sad, but bittersweet not gut punch) lyrics-wise. And hoax is literally poetry
You understand this so well 👍🏻
These are happier Taylor songs that you can react to: Willow is way lighter than this one it's from evermore, long story short from evermore, invisible string from folklore, gold rush from evermore, but if you want to listen to her happier pop stuff then you'd have to go with false god, cruel summer, lover, new year's day, London boy, call it what you want, king of my heart, enchanted, you are in love, new romantics, this love
Im sorry but Gold Rush is NOT a happy song! Its a fkn sad bop
@@rajevgurung701 well the lyrics are definitely lighter than tolerate it lol, actually i was thinking about how a lot of her songs are not really happy songs at all lmao
I wish she had never left that forest...Evermore is TS at her BEST
Hahaha "I'm gonna need some happy Taylor" here are some recommendations for happy Taylor songs:
1. Ready For It
2. Style
3. Begin Again
4. You Are In Love
5. Long Live (a song Taylor wrote to the fans)
6. King Of My Heart
7. Delicate
8. New Romantics
9. Lover
10. invisible string
11. Mine
12. Enchanted
13. Dress
All of these, except Delicate could be debatable even though it’s more upbeat. It was a track 5 after all. Definitely not as saddening as these though.
@@fwakes106 king of my heart, mine,invisible strong, ready for are not happy songs??
@@rloyBB no I meant all are good except maybe Delicate since it’s a track 5
@@fwakes106 Oh sorry! dumb me haha. I see what you mean, Delicate is track 5 but it's still a sweet song about Joe. so it is a happy song
@@rloyBB nah! You’re good! I wrote it horribly to be fair haha 😆 I agree-so it’s interesting Taylor made it a track 5… but I can see why it would be a track 5 too
You have to listen to 'Cowboy like me', 'exile' and 'evermore' 💞
“Ivy” “Dorothea” “the lakes” “long story short” “cowboy like me” are happy songs/could be interpreted as happy
"Dorothea" is a happy song on its own but is sad once you link it to Dorothea's POV in "Tis The Damn Season"
@@edpotter1170 yeh, but I don’t think he’ll link it lol
Ivy is not a happy song 😁 maybe little upbeat
IVY IS A HAPPY SONG TO YOU??
@@shiobhan1845 ITS NOT HAPPY OK BUT LIKE IT DOESNT HAVE A SLOW SAD INSTRUMENTAL LOL
As usual, a Track 5 masterpiece
You are actual first person who found this song’s lyrics beautiful and took it seriously enough to actually picture what the woman is going through and feel that hurt by putting yourself in her shoes. I myself could relate this song with the condition of a few people I know. This song literally brought tears in my eyes and it feels nice to know that other people also feel that deep of emotions . Thank you for this incredible video!
This song is a gut punch. Every time. Even two years later.
Invisible string is happy and she mentions barbed wire again :) long story short is great too
It's not hard for me to listen to because I've lived it. She takes a terrible feeling and makes it beautiful and it flies away on the wind.
YESSSS THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS ONE!! My favorite atm. The bridge is on an whole other level.
Listening to Taylor is a visceral experience - it puts you deep in the feels and takes you on a journey. It's why so many people can relate to her lyrics. But another great thing about her is that she's a genre-shifter, so you can get different experiences from different albums. I may be late to the party, but if you need some happier, brighter songs to cleanse the palate after folkmore, here are a few of my favorite bops:
Hits Different
Lavender Haze
I Think He Knows
Paper Rings,
False God
All of the Girls You Loved Before
I Did Something Bad
This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things (Rep Tour version)
Ready For It
Blank Space - Grammy Museum live is so good
And of course, the iconic Thug Story
Also see I DID SOMETHING BAD live at the AMA’s to see Taylor being a BOSS! Completely different side to her music.
Cornelia St live from Paris is also such a great acoustic performance.
i LOVE how you understand and analyse the lyrics, as should be done for Taylor's songs, especially in folklore and evermore
If you want happy Taylor from folklore/evermore, then try "gold rush" and "invisible string"
and she stays wft whyyyyyyy i need a closure to this masterpiece 🫣
Taylor Swift is the queen of building the pad for the bridge and then kills you with it
You gave the best one-line analysis for the “now I’m begging for footnotes in the story of your life” line I’ve seen/heard. Bravo!
It’s a hard song to listen to, because I was there. At the same time, it helped to know my situation wasn’t unique.
Also: I took the dagger in me and removed it and found the best partner. He celebrates me and my love. I think this song really helped me get there, sad as it is. Still cry when I hear it. Obvi not in heavy rotation, but super important to me
Happy : invisible string
That " haaaaaaa a aaaaa"
lmaoo When you stopped just before the footnotes lyric I knew you had played yourself and you weren't ready for it. Very worth the reaction. The worst is when people block out her lyrics and don't pay attention to it. Great work.
Great reaction to this amazingly touching song. You really understood Taylor's lyrics and commented beautifully. Thank you.
I so enjoy watching your reaction video's to Taylors amazing song writing.
For 3 years I have resisted going back to the man who would only tolerate me . I’ve blocked all his attempts to reel me back in to be his emotional support. It’s hell but the shame of doing that again to myself keeps me determined. ✌️
As someone who has been a fan of Taylor since the beginning, it's so fun to watch someone who appreciates lyrics experience her songs for the first time! Loving these videos, your reactions remind me of my first time hearing each song, and the more times I listen to her songs the more I find in each one!
another way many people interpret this song is from the perspective of a gay child speaking to their father, that all their father will do is tolerate their sexuality. in an Ellen interview when Taylor was speaking about LGBTQ issues, she said queer love should be celebrated, not tolerated -- celebrated like gay pride. Also many of taylor's songs are queer coded and imply that her own sexuality is more fluid than we perceive. just food for thought
Really enjoyed your reaction to this video. This is my first time on your channel but I’m a fan now
Check out Long Story Short if you haven’t yet. It’s still got the amazing lyricism, of course, but much more upbeat and positive!
i love your insight. newly subscribed 👍🏻
the most heartbreaking thing for me is that taylor chose the word "tolerate" specifically. different from "indifference" which just means neutral (it isn't love, it isn't hate), "tolerate" is used when we don't like something or someone but we keep quiet to maintain peace. so our narrator is doing all of these efforts to keep up their home, while her partner actually doesn't like her around. he doesn't say anything, he just tolerates her
also if you want happy taylor, you can try "long story short". the production feels like a child skipping down the street, and it's just so cute
This is one of the saddest songs I've ever heard🥲🥲🥲
THANKS FOR DOING THIS. ITS MY FAVORITE SONG OF TAYLOR SWIFT. ITS SO EMOTIONAL 🥺
if you want happy taylor but still want to stick to those albums you should do tis the damn season and dorothea (they're the same story from two people's perspectives), gold rush or invisible string (i have a faint memory of you reacting to invisible string but i looked it up and i couldn't find the video so now i don't know if the video got taken down or if i'm imagining things)
@@irem021 i mean is not sunshine and flowers but i wouldn't say it's sad either, a bit bittersweet maybe. same for dorothea, it's not devastatingly sad but it's melancholic
I'm enjoying your raw reaction so much. These albums are my top tier Taylor Swift albums because it hits so deep.
She is a marvelous creator.
Hope you found Happy Taylor by now. 😂
i literally love your reaction so much!!!! yessss im so glad you understood the depth of this song
I love your analyses and your breakdowns so much
Last great american dynasty is GREAT too
Great American Dynasty on folklore….l it’s a great song and upbeat. FYI it’s a true story, I would love to have your reaction to that one🥰
Invisible Strings! Definitely a happy Taylor 😁
I love so many of her songs but this one is sooooo good!!!
Your reactions are so on point for the song 🥺 Tay really knows how to get you to the core
love your reactions man !!
you’re really great at reactions, i really enjoy it👏☺️
i cried with this song the first 10 times but wooow this is my fav song of evermore!!
"Took this dagger in me and remove it" it got me bad. I felt that
This song is sad if you see it from a lovers perspective but so much more sad if if you see it from a father who can’t love his daughter and all she wants is approval
I love it that you understand the lyrics and interpret them!
man how is she managed to kick me in the chest with 5 different songs ?
Right Where You Left Me is on the same tier as Tolerate It
The Lover album is full of happy Taylor. I really enjoy your reactions. You really internalize the lyrics and I absolutely love that! Ty for sharing your thoughts!
omg i was waiting for this 😭 thank you so much! Please also listen to mirrorball, seven, and mad woman from folklore 🥰
The most devastating lyric of that song is the final "I sit and watch you" bc it means that, even when she knows he tolerates her and she feels like cra*p and all that, she still stays. She doesn't leave, she sits and watches him tolerate her love AND THAT MAKES ME SK ANGRY BC GIRL! GET OUT! WHY PUT YOURSELF IN THAT SITUATION WITH A MAN THAT DOESN'T LOVE YOU BACK?! Maybe she thinks she deserves that kind of love? Or maybe she just doesn't know how to get out of that kind of love-not-love...amazing song, devastating
Here is a list of happier songs (it's not necessarily "happy", but it's not sad either :
- Lover (Niall did an amazing cover of this one btw)
- No body, no crime
- Paper Rings (this one is DEFINITELY a very happy and bright song)
- I can't think of anything else rn, if you guys have any other suggestions leave it under this comment
- I think he knows
- Cow boy like me
- Willow
-
Great reaction!!!! Love this song so much. A happy Taylor song that I hope you react to is Lover. It’s beautiful!!!
I absolutly adore your reactions, keep doing pls
You're so great at really emotionally feeling lyrics, it's very enjoyable to watch. With how moved you were I would really suggest watching the Long Pond Studio Sessions version of Mad Woman (more to do with Scooter & his wife/Kim & Kanye). It's genius lyricism & phenomenal delivery by Taylor!
By the way, Taylor wrote these in lockdown mostly because, in her words,"it seemed like everyone needed a good cry,not just us" (meaning her & her collaborators). My Fav happy Taylor song from this era is Invisible String, which tells of her belief that fate-an invisible string-brought her & Joe together! It's an upbeat song full of great lyricism & joy & fun-maybe try it next!
I agree, these albums were hard to listen to! Try listening to these while you're going through a divorce! Folklore came out just as my marriage was ending. In a funny way, these albums really saved me. I cried all my tears to them. And now I see these songs as a symbol of strength. These albums are by far my most favourite work of hers ♥️♥️
Omg your breakdown is so good I am learning things from you 😂
I know you recorded this two years ago but you NEED to watch the live version of this from the Eras tour.
after the reaction I went back to the bridge cos your reaction was perfect!
when this song came out around the same time the crown season 4 was aired and i don't know but many people thought how this song felt something from the perspective of diana to charles who was older than her. (after watching the show, this song just breaks my heart) i know probably something else inspired her to write but it just fits perfectly in a situation from where it can be from a child their parent , one friend to other or even to your partner. This song just makes me sob like a baby each time.
The thing I love about Taylor is you can always relate to her music. As a fellow writer, I think this is always the goal is for your art to be able to be relatable.
fave, not all reactions dissect the meat of the material like u do
Your appreciation of this song is giving me life.
Caution to those looking for happy Taylor: sidestep the landmine that is the song "happiness".
