She was so proud of the treacherous bridge that she sang it twice. Cruel summer is also an example.
It’s one of her prettiest bridges.
Holy ground effect
And “Is it Over Now?” Is the ‘newest’ example
one of my favs, its just too good
I love that you give The Last Time the recognition it deserves! it's an underrated masterpiece
She used state of grace to open her red tour and i cannot tell you how cool it was. The intro builds up a lot of excitement.
The Last Time is Supreme tier! It walked so Exile can run❤ also Taylor starts it high and ends it with low while Gary starts it low and ends it at a higher note! In my mind it is Taylor begging him but losing all the hope at the end while her partner not fighting to stay that much but at the end wishing to stay when she is sort of done(you call me up again)
I can’t wait for him to hear folklore and Exile specifically!!
@@kaylamansfield5377 oh Yes I am so excited for all the collabs in Folklore and Evermore
@@PratyushaMishrai thought he’d already listened to folklore first before the rep reaction hit youtube? maybe im mixing him up with someone else tho
@@user-bc5mv2ot8k cpuld be - I am new here so wasn’t aware! Thanks for sharing!!
I always get the feeling that in the end he's begging, and I knew it was because of the way he sang it, but hadn't noticed yet, thank you.
I'm pretty sure that's really what it was supposed to be
22 is a weird follow-up after All Too Well at first... But once you puzzle piece together going from The Moment I Knew to All Too Well (10 Mins Version) then you'll get to 22... You'll see why she placed that song in the tracklist. At 21 it was the WORST she ever felt even on her birthday and the aftermath before the inspiration for making Red album.
I do wish 22 came after the moment I knew ....
Which means I want the moment I knew on the normal release not the deluxe 😂😅
She always puts a fun/upbeat song as a track 6 because track 5s are always the saddest song on the album
The fact that All too well was the first song she had written for the album is just so special without it we prob wudnt have red
This held out as my favorite album until Folkmore came around. I’m excited to see what you think.
Red and Folklore/Folkmore are in the balance of my scales always tipping back and forth. Depends on my mood to this day. Cheers for your test, Sir.
same!! it never got dethroned until folklore and then evermore
red's really one of
the albums that's got my heart. it is such an intense album & the vault tracks are sublime
Red is by far not my favourite album, but if someone was to ask me what album i'd recommend they listen to for taylor and it could ONLY be one for the rest of their lives - i'd say Red. It has some of the pinnacles of her songwriting, it has the start of her pop stardom, the twangs of country still there and encapsulates some of the key themes across her life, love, heartbreak, friendship, grief and loss outside of love, longing, nostalgia and just overall a really cohesive story of a young girl growing up and moving on
this is such a very good album. front to back a really satisfying listen.
You're actually right about stay stay stay, she wrote it thinking what her dream relationship would be like
Red centers around a relationship and its breakup. It's named after the passion, both good and bad feelings the realtionship brings. That's why songs like 22 follows songs like All Too Well. It's a total rollercoaster of highs and lows. At the same time, it still makes sense storytelling wise. If you listen to the 10 minute version All Too Well or The Moment I Knew, you might be able to figure our that her lover missed her birthday party which led to the end of the relationship. This birthday was her 21st. This puts new meaning to 22 coming after All Too Well because after the tragedy of her 21st birthday, she decides to celebrate to the fullest on her 22nd.
The RED Vault tracks are my FAVES of all the Vault tracks. RED Vault shows off Most Vulnerable writing of Taylor. "Ronan" and "Better Man" just tugs the heartstrings and makes me cry everytime. Better Man won Country Song Of The Year.
You're currently my favorite Taylor Swift reactor, your perspectives, interpretation and insights are always topnotch and never surface level, which really satisfies me. I'm here since the reputation reaction, and all your Taylor videos for me is top-tier. Hope we get more! (Say the folklore reaction, since it's my fave album and I have no Patreon)
i think splitting the album into 1-10 11-20 and 21-30 is really the best call! also, keep in mind that the standard version of the album ended in track 16 (begin again). then, the following 3 (the moment i knew, come back be here, girl at home + state of grace acoustic were the deluxe tracks. then we have "ronan" which was a charity single, but didn't belong to the orginal album, although it was released in the same year (2012). then, from track number 22 on, we have the real vault. "better man" was, of course, written by taylor, but she sent it to Little Big Town, and it became one of their biggest songs. the song "babe" was written by taylor but we also already knew another version of the song, performed by Sugarland featuring Swift (I think it would be cool for you to check this one out when you react to the Red era MVs, since taylor appears on the video as well).
Stay Stay Stay is really a narrator thing, I think from what Taylor explained that it's about wishful thinking about a relationship where, despite the hardships, the other person would love her enough to stay. I think the phone throwing thing is just an exaggeration to emphasize this idea of hardship and difficulties.
Stay stay stay is an imagined love from the Red perspective. Later on, when she finds a truer love she admits she thought love was burning red, but it’s actually golden 💛 (and healthier lol)
The Last Time broke my heart for the second time around. First time is from the OG version, and second time from Taylor's Version. 😭
I am hoping you were just joking about dying, there is nothing wrong with your voice or face. The look on your face when you listened to The Last Time really shined with pleasure. Wishing you well.
No same I was surprised not to see so many comments talking about that. I hope he’s ok 😭
@@ashjamil1893 Let's hope so.
He said his doctor did not agree with him
“Stay stay stay” as always been a ‘meh’ for me and “This is the last time” was my fave but I prefer the old version (Gary sounds off to me on the new one 😅) and if you like the 2 POVs songs you will LOVE folk-evermore - excited for pt.2
My favourite TS album! What a ride. It totally encapsulates the feeling, happy, free, confused, lonely at the same time. Miserable and magical too. ❤❤❤❤
I am in the minority who prefers the original 5 minute ATW to the 10 minute version. The chronological storytelling is very important imho and it's not done in the 10min version. I also prefer the instrumentation & production choices in the 5 min, I think the sound of it evokes more heartbreak than the 10min. 👍❤
It's very much in chronological order in 10 min version I didn't get why you said it's not it's just more lines in the middle with more perspective of the situation
The 10 minute version is 100% chronological and gives the whole picture, which deepens the meaning of the song.. You clearly didn´t understand the lyrics or hear them right if you don´t think it is chronological.. Also as a person who is lyric focused, the 10 minute version is the only version for me. The 5 minute one is just shallow in comparison.
@@yara5502 excuse me, please don't talk down to me and tell me what I "understand" simply because my opinion differs from yours. ..And to call her original piece of work shallow is insane and shows a huge amount of disrespect. What an absurdly condescending comment, you should really try to be more open minded to other people's interpretation/opinions.
@@Azx12345 hi, I don't thinkit's chronological with the first added verse.... "til we were dead and gone and buried, check the pulse ... after three months in the grave. And then you wondered .. held my lifeless frame." comes before the relationship verse of "we're dancing round the kitchen in the refrigerator light" and the breakup verse "maybe we got lost in translation". The earlier verse talking about post break up makes the song non-chronological imo. You can disagree but to me it feels out of place chronologically! ❤
I agree. Obviously I love the 10 minute version but I prefer the original production and I was a little disappointed the first time when I heard it was different in the 10-Minute version. The original still hits the hardest for me
The last time is my favorite collab taylor song of all time right next to exile
welcome back, jim! it’s very nice to see you again. great reaction as usual 🤟🏻✨
THE LAST TIME WALKED SO EXILE COILD RUN
Finally someone appreciates The Last Time!!!!!!!! I replay that song twice so I can sing both parts
Got a flat today while driving, but I saw a notification to your reaction to Red that put a smile on my face 😊
happy free confused and lonely at the same time the thesis of the album
If you noticed her 21 birthday was ruined she talk about it in the album how she was waiting him on 21 birthday and the heart break that why 22 is what it is lol
loving your deep dive through her albums, happy holidays jim!
So so so happy you liked The Last Time. I think it's one of her best songs!
already excited for part 2!
this is the last time run, so exile could walk JUST LEAVING THIS HERE
I love she intentionally wrote we are never ever getting back together in the post pop song way she knew the guy was “too cool” for
yayyy!!! can't wait for part 2!
Don’t have much happening for Christmas, so I very much appreciate this today. Happy holidays Jim!
Gary said he hope he could work with Taylor again. The song, they wrote and record in 9hours. He said she work so fast and extraordinary.
I love State Of Grace! So glad you reacted to Red!
red was nominated for a grammy but didn't win and she believes (idk if it was ever proved) that it didn't win because it wasn't sonically cohesive (which was intentional) and she said she'll make a better album and that's what led her to 1989 going completely to pop and she did win a grammy for that.
She said the “make a better album” for Reputation tho (funny cause she went and made Lover 💀)
@@user-mz2ne4yh2tyour lack of taste 😭😭 lover is a great album. cruel summer, the archer, death by a thousand cuts, afterglow, false god etc. ?? 💀
@@alyshamcalpine2238 London Boy, I think he knows, I forgot that you existed, FUCKING ME!? I like some songs but don't act like it's not her weakest work
@@user-mz2ne4yh2tntm on i think he knows 😩😩
I have absolutely loved watching you become so intense in your discovery of Taylor Swift. Big hugs and you've made me a swiftie!
Jim Games on Snow Patrol: "Some of the Music is SAD and DEPRESSING!
Taylor Swift: "Hold my beer"
I really hope you also do Safe and Sound, Eyes Open, and Highway Don’t Care! 🥰
Ayeee, he's back HAHAHAHA I've been waiting❤❤❤
I've been waiting on this video like crazyyyyy❤
One of the things I love about "the last time" is how out of synch their lines go at the end, which sort of foreshadows them asking for the same things at different times and breaking up again
Been loving your videos. The Swiftologist just did a reorder of Red. He points out and I agree--Taylor's ordering to the songs is always confusing. Honestly I don't think it's crazy to think she has some insane logic to why they go in the order they do and we're just missing it. But he did a great reorder on it to put it into how he thought they should go and it really does make for a great listen... a more cohesive complete story to the album. Excited to see what you think of Holy Ground.
LOVE Swiftologist
what i love about what she said on the title track, Red, is that if she has to pick a color that represents the experience she had with that guy and the relationship they had... it's the color red because this color is not necessarily a bad thing or a good thing, it has a wide spectrum of emotions seeing Red as a color that is daring and bold and passion and love and affection but also on the other side, it's jealousy and anger and frustration and intense. she really loved him and i can see it on how beautifully written the songs are for him. also, i love how Red (song) is full of similes describing the entirety of their relationship.
Omg best Christmas gift today!!!!
WE NEED PART 2 PLEASE!!!
loved this video! looking forward to part two (and tree?)
happy holidays! this video is one of your best 💙
can’t wait for part 2
Stay x3 is definitely a song you have to grow to love. The 5 minute craft music in the background always gets me, but for some reason I just love the song so much.
Can’t wait for Begin Again. My all time favorite Taylor Swift song. 😊
Red gets knocked for being not "cohesive" sonicly....whatever that means. It stands solidly in the gap between Speak Now and 1989 as the true transition album from "country" to "pop".
Also...as much as I appreciate the All Too Well 10 version, I think the original album cut still hits harder for me. The 10 minute version has a place...but if I'm constructing a day-to-day playlist, the album version is my go-to. Either way...the ATW bridge is the best lyric put on paper. That's a hill that I'll die on....even in Taylor's vast sea of amazing bridges...
i know this is about taylor swift, but i do hope you also react to sabrina carpenter's new EP "fruitcake" i feel like you'll love it!! love your reactions btw and cant wait for more taylor and others!!!
Starting to be a Swiftie now watching your channel reacting to Taylor Swift. ok ok I'm subscribing now....
RED is her least cohesive album but has some of her best songs and instrumentals! I wish she had leaned more into the "State Of Grace", "Treacherous", "All Too Well" and "Red" sound than the "I Knew You Were Trouble" ,"22" and "WANGBT" sound personally.
least?
@@mariabrito-go2dxyeah its kinda half country and half pop lol
@@user-bc5mv2ot8k this doesn’t make an album least cohesive, it gives more interesting sounds
@@mariabrito-go2dx cohesion is how similar the album sounds from beginning to end. 1989 is a cohesive album because its all pop. red isn’t cohesive as it’s split across two different genres.
Hi Jim !
Nice to see you again. Well I've a request. Please do a review session on different genres of Pakistani music.
Regards
Did I miss your
SPEAK NOW review???
I thought you said you would go in order…
I love your reviews!
Speak Now is blocked. I have tried editing it a bunch, but every time, it gets blocked. It's a shame because it's a beautiful album.
Do you have a Patreon? I’d love to watch your take on SN
@@carolla_michelle patreon.com/JimGamesLive
thanks a bunch jim
Merry Christmas!
red is such a great album
Red is one of my all time favorite Ts albums the last time is so underated
i am sooo excited for u to react to lover and midnights i even set twitch notifs LMAO
Oh my god i can’t believe I never realized that the guitar riff was reversed in wanegbt that adds a whole other layer to the song 😧 i love the little details she thinks of
Big Machine Records was an indie record label so when she says "some indie record that's much cooler than mine"... people forget she was also making "indie" records. The elitist indie bros of 2012 would have lost their minds at the idea of her collabs with Aaron and The National, folklore, evermore, etc.
He just went straight to "I'M DYING!"
Can't tell you how happy I am that you loved The Last Time as much as I do
I'm also a fan of Snow Patrol! So good.
I couldn't bearly recognize you. I remember I watched your reactions to dimash it's like 2 years ago. You look so different right now...
My fav T album on Christmas yesss!!!!
Merry Christmas everybody! 🎅
Did you skip the Speak Now album? Lots of bangers on that one
I've always been of the mind that "Stay Stay Stay" is written from the POV of a very delusional fictionalized version of herself, something she does to a much more exaggerated degree in Blank Space on her following album.
I'm glad you're listening to this, Red is my favorite album, and what Taylor's Version added really helped solidify its place at the top of my list.
🎄Merry Christmas 🎄
You gotta listen to "The rise and fall of a Midwest princess" by chappel roan I think you'd LOVE IT
22 is one of those songs that takes me back to my early 20’s when I was happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time, and things were definitely a mixture of miserable and magical. 😅😄
The Last Time is one of my favorites TS tracks
how are you not scared for copyright strikes posting the full song like that 😭
Stay stay stay = "find great deals at temu today." Lmao.
Taylor does a great rock cover of Trouble live.
my favorite taylor swift album ❤️
The Last Time ❤️❤️❤️. Should have been a single 💔
The last time was the bomb. When everyone was hearing Katy Pery Roar, i was blasting the last time. Lol.
did we miss speak now?
Gary Lightbody is amazing, but when I listen to The Last Time the first verse sounds like kermit the frog is singing it... I can't seem to un-hear it.
Where is my guy with the time stamps !!!
You should checkout Taylor’s short film for All Too Well! It’s awesome, excellent & heartbreaking. Beautifully acted.
my absolute favorite album ❤
Where’s Speak Now reaction tho
Is Speak Now patreon only or do you react to it later?
I tried editing it several times, but RUclips always blocks it. Sorry about that.
@@JimGames thanks for your answer. Seems like Taylor is very hard working on a reality where SN never existed 😉
😢@@JimGames
Part 2 plsss
part 2 👀
im so stupid for not knowing this song the last time how how God im in love
The Last Time is so good!!
The last time is soo much better than exile. Production is sooo muahh 💋
Who has being complaining about the way you look and sound????
So, you’ve got a bit of a cold then. Poor you, lemon & honey in hot water + 2 paracetamol! Get better soon. (You will, in about 7 days, or a week if you’re lucky😉) Merry seasonal greetings🎄🌸
Not just a cold, a man cold.
@@JimGames I got that, lol. Treatments the same, so's the duration. You'll be better for New Year. Thanks for your reactions. From Annie, in Cornwall, UK🙂🌸🎄
Btw in the Song "red" the colour Red is bad and the colour blue is good bc she means losing him is good
Oh my god, I LOVE Snow Patrol! I've always loved their colab, but it doesn't seem to be a fan favorite.
