Hi! Please react to âhappinessâ im her evermore album! Thatâs her saddest song ever haha
Plsss upload them to youtube if you can, even if it's cut up or something
"they told me all of my cages were mental, so i got wasted like all my potential " like it hits soooooo hard everytime!
Me too!I cry with this song!
@@alejandrapinto7391 me too đđ«đ€đ€
yes! I don't drink (but I can imagine the other shit I did to waste my potential) and it just destroys me everytime đ
@@jankova0013 i dont drink either! yes exactly!
the impact of the line "pull the car of the road to the lookout could've followed my fears all the way down" ALWAYS hits me
This paints such a frightening picture đđ
@@d3stroyx69 Exactly, right? A perfect example of great imagery đ€§
@@edwardadias3924 do you watch English Teacher KP?
@@carolinamansur113 yesss! she is my favorite â€ïž
@@edwardadias3924 she really is amazing
Taylor also said in the long pond studio session that this song also reflects how the best you can do can seem like a failure to others. Especially for addicts or people who suffer from mental illnesses. So while it takes them everything they have to get to where they are - others still see it as miserable because they don't see how much it takes the person to even be at that point.
By the way, I really love your reactions! I feel like you give attention to both the music and the lyrics. Other reaction channels focus too much on just one of the aspect in my opinion. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Germany
True!
That discussion makes me sob every. single.time.
"At least I'm trying" able to make me to listen this song till the end of my life
As someones that struggles with mental health issues, this song really resonates with me and really made me feel like I'm not the only one.
The first time I heard it I couldn't stop sobbing, by far my favorite on the album.
Another great video from Suffi, love the content.
I listen to folklore A LOT and I still cry every time I hear this
This is my favorite song from folklore. A gem.
Agreed! Never gets old
The long pond session version of this made me cry. Something about the way she was singing it pulled some deep emotions out of me that the studio version doesn't. One of my favourites from folklore.
finally the appreciation this song deserves!!!!
It's so weird to me how these lyrics sites will still insist this is entirely about Taylor even after the Long Pond Sessions where she legit explains that it's just about someone struggling with addiction and people not understanding how hard it is to, 'get to a place that's still shitty' in the words of jack Antonoff.
Correct. Taylor never struggled with addiction. I think it's a song for anyone struggling with anything (including addiction), or feeling like they are not living up to other's expectations of them.
Yeah, that is weird. Although I'm sure she relates to some part of this song on a personal level, you'd think that lyric websites would have updated after the meanings of the songs on this album were given some official explanations in Long Pond.
Right? That annoys the hell out of me.
I was hoping someone would mention this. Not all her songs are autobiographical - she has the ability to empathize with other's issues - one of the many, many reasons we love her.
The second verse hits so close to me, it hurts every damn time. This is one of the best songs on Folklore and so underrated.
I think anyone with ADHD or otherwise neurodivergent brain can really relate to this song, especially to the second verse. There are countless times I would like to scream to the neurotypical world that "This IS me trying!!!"
Yes how true is thisâŠspeaking as a person with ADHD going to university. When I see how well my peers are doing and Iâm struggling so hard and Iâm trying sooo hard but it never seems enough.
Ikrrr
Folklore, Evermore and Lana's Norman f*cking Rockwell are my favorite albums of all time. Zero skips. All lyrically beautiful
This song resonates so much with me in a multitude of ways.
âMy words shoot to kill when Iâm mad. I have a lot of regrets about thatâ. I grew up with an incredibly verbally/mentally abusive family. They are very combative and defensive. In my growth as an adult Iâve really had to unlearn that behavior especially when having small tiffs with my boyfriend. (Afterglow also hits home with me).
This song also takes me back to a time when I was with my abusive ex. I was at an all time struggle with my mental health trying to navigate the relationship I was having to endure and all that comes with new birth control. He was constantly telling me that I wasnât getting better, I wasnât doing the things I promised to or the things I said I wouldnât. All he could see was me sleeping all day âbeing lazyâ when I was trying so hard to function. Even getting out of bed to get a drink was draining some days. I was trying so hard and it was never enough. But at least I was trying.
this song meant nothing to me first time i heard it, it was one of my least favorite, but then i listened to her talking about this song in the long pond studio and it absolutely hit me. When she says:
"Pouring out my heart to a stranger
But I didn't pour the whiskey"
i imagine an alcoholic telling how he really messed up in his romantic life, maybe he trusted way too fast in someone he barely know and gave them his heart so anyone would look down on him, like he is being a mess, but he is telling that at least he didn't gave into alcohol, which is a HUGE thing for him. Like in anyone else it might be a simple and basic task but he has been REALLY trying and putting a lot of effort.
She also talks about depression. The guy showing up at the door? showing up is not a big deal, showng up is the minimun. But for someone who really considered jumping off that cliff and ending everything right then and there, the fact that he resisted that urge and kept going on and being in that persons life (and being alive) is huge
tbh thank you for that last one †I always beated myself up that I didn't do enough, that I destroyed my life etc. But you are right that it's so hard to just get up from bed (if you can even manage that) and then think and listen other people how you are screwing everything and you have to do more and even just surviving is bigger task than you can do and you just want to kill yourself every damn day. It's really hard to get through and even harder to start over.
@@jankova0013 be strong, i know its hard and people wont understand and well.. Taylor said it better. you ARE doing a lot, you are making the effort. with time you might be able to do a little more wach day. or each week. Try excercising, looking for healthy recipes to eat halthier, going out with friends now and there (don't isolate yourself). meeting new people. try to stay strong, everything will get better. and be aware of all the improvements you have done (maybe keeping a journal?) it will encourage you to keep going! you CAN do thisâ„
@@dani010203stor thank you so much â€ïž I'm actually doing a lot better but I feel like it will still take extra few months, maybe years to get to a place where I would feel okay and not like a failure. But I'm getting there and thankfully I'm far enough on the journey I can see the progress and that I can be where I want to be someday. To making the effort and not judging harshly (ourselves or others) â€ïž
My favorite from this masterpiece album
Feeling excited for you to react to older works of taylor, thanks for your reactionsđâ€
Taylor also mentioned that she sees this song as someone whoâs having an addiction. Everyday they fighting the battles within them.
Sometimes i think it's a song from taylor to her fans while she still trying to stay in this industry and how hard it's .
Same! It hits hard after we all know what she has been through - from long live to here! â€ïž
This is about someone suicidal or struggling with addiction trying to explain that they are doing their best!
You should watch the long pond studio sessions where she explains each song
Next Evermore tracks right?
Love taylor so fucking much
A masterpiece! â€
This is my mostest favoritistist song off of this album đ I can totally relate to it and yes, she sounds fantastic....it feels so flowy and you just get lost in it đ
Please add these to the Taylor Swift list thingie. It makes it so much easier lol đ„°đ„°
THIS SONG>>>>>
This is me favorite song and Mirrorball
Heâs right about one thing. Itâs way too short.
I'm waiting for 'the lakes' đđ€
Her line "Words shoot to kill when I'm mad" are Taylor at her finest. In song she lacerates the likes of Joe Jonas, John Mayer, Jake G, Scooter Braun, Kanye West, and Scott Borchetta, and they deserve it. But in Better Than Revenge she went too far, and imo that's the song she regrets penning. I would not be surprised if BTR is not on Speak Now (Taylor's Version).
I use that all the time.
I'll be so pissed if she doesn't have it on. It's such a good song. Very angsty. I'll be surprised if she doesn't include it. Even though she has disowned it in terms of performing, its still her song and she would want the rights to it like all her others.
@@Becksnnc I'm thinking she will probably scrap the line "she's better known for the things she does on the mattress." That line is over the line.
â@@kosmikpixie why do we think that tho? because I don't see how it's worse than some other lines in the songs. When you're young there are girls that are know (especially among boys) "for the things that they do on the mattress" and they don't even have to do anything. They just think she sleeps with everyone or is great in bed or whatever and it is a rumor. So like I want to agree with you but at the same time from this pov it is not like a horrible thing (I mean it would be horrible to be known for that and that that is happening but like the line itself can just point to the rumor).
@@jankova0013 Whereas Taylor's other songs have devastatingly cutting lines and those lyrics are based on her own experience vis a vis those men, this awful line is based on rumour and innuendo. Gossip. That's the difference. In BTR Taylor fell into the trap of slut shaming, and we know how much she's come to hate slut shaming. She became the tabloids' slut shaming target and regrets doing in BTR would the media would come to do to her. To her, this was Karma and she was the recipient of Karma's justice.
And I ended up here
Pouring my heart out to a stranger
...but I didn't pour the whiskey
And I just wanted you to know, that this is me trying
đđđđđđđ
Great song, says me not a very Taylor fan (except 1989, this one I bought)
FINALLY
Dude ...this song is just different..i just can't skip whenever it plays on shuffle...
the second verse destroyed me. :(
That verse is made for a tattoo...
