@@lane_blvd I think because of the story she wanted to tell. Evermore was a fitting closer to the album but the bonus track were a fitting closer to the BMR drama. Right where you left me is the tragic tale of a woman so overwhelmed by grief that she can't move on. It's time to go is Taylor deciding to move on and remake her work. The next two releases would be remakes of Fearless and Red
She wrote Tis the damn season (my fave) when she finished filming the pound session. She went to her room and Aaron that she was sleeping. But she came drunk at 3 am with the whole lyrics and melody. She wrote it drunk
'I sit and watch you...' from 'Tolerate it' is the most heartbreaking ending of the song. Because she knows exactly how reletionship should be, how she should be loved, how EVERYONE should be loved and still leaving the person who only tolerates you is so difficult to do because YOU love this person with your heart. But fortunately often people have strenght to finally leave this kind of relationship. And then, we have 'Bejeweled' 😃
Yes you got it right! The bridge in Coney Island is about her past relationships: Taylor’s pov: “were you waiting at our old spot in the tree line by the gold clock, did I leave you hanging every single day”- could be about Taylor Lautner (back to december: she apologises to him in the song) male pov: “were you standing in the hallway with a big cake happy bday”- Jake gyllenhall (the moment I knew: him not showing up to her 21st bday) “Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest grey”: John Mayer (dear John: you paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain) “And when I got into the accident the sight that flashed before me was your face”: Harry styles (the infamous snow mobile accident: probably from Harry’s pov since it’s the male artist singing here) Taylor’s pov: “but when I walked up to the podium I think that I forgot to say your name” : Calvin Harris( when Taylor won a Grammy for 1989, she mentioned in her speech how she achieved this milestone alone and failed to mention/thank her then boyfriend Calvin Harris.
about your last point: she finished writing 1989 in 2014 just before the final (Asian) leg of the Red Tour; she recorded it and it had an October 2014 release. Since she didn't START dating Harris until March of 2015, he didn't actually have a thing to do with the success or non- success of the album. He might have felt slighted, but that'd be on him. Oh, another possibility for "were you standing in the hallway with a big cake" could also refer to Lautner; in BTD, she does mention that _she_ didn't call _him_ on his birthday . . . . . but, all of this assumes it is, in fact, autobiographical. Which is . . . . . . .maybe. Oh, Taylor's "waiting in the tree line" suddenly reminded me of "heartbeat on the High Line" in Cardigan! Gotta tell my mind to stop looking for parallels before I surrender to insomnia -- again Cheers.
I love this album. I think as a fandom, most of us, have come to the conclusion that Folklore is a better album but Evermore has better songs. I also lost my grandma who raised me from the day I was born and was the only constant in my life until I was 17. When I tell you that Marjorie breaks me, it tears my soul in more ways than I can count. I still adore that song because it speaks of a pure and unconditional love. I have always believed and will continue to believe that she was my soulmate and I’m so glad that we loved each other so much and got to spend so much time together. I just love your reactions and how attentive you are to the lyrics and parallels to other Taylor songs. Also, fun fact, Taylor loves true crime so that only makes No Body No Crime even more special. I also cannot get enough of real life crime series and Criminal Minds.
The song marjorie literally changed my relationship with my grandma.. I owe taylor so much for reminding me that it is a gift to have her in my life, after hearing the song i really started talking to her more and it has been so amazing 🥰
What you said about evermore (the song) is so accurate. I've been struggling with depression for years and I found the first two chorus to be my daily internal experience. That's why I was so moved and emotional when, after a lot of treatment, I finally could relate to the final chorus. That was a beautiful journey for me throughout this song alone
evermore is my favorite song of the album, and for me, it's 100% a song about someone struggling with their mental health during the pandemic (let's remember this album came out in 2020), having to be in quarantine alone.
I know you're adding in Midnights but if you haven't yet I'd highly recommend giving her Big Red Machine song Renegade a listen. Its in the vein of Evermore sound and it's one of my favorites of hers. Big Red Machine is this experimental group that has Justin and Aaron on it. And Justin sings background vocals on it. Wonderful reaction as always! You're always so on point with your observatons.
Speaking in interviews, Taylor said they co-wrote songs and had to decide whether to put them on Evermore, or How Long Do You Think It's Gonna Last? Choices, choices. And Gabbsi should listen to it!
Actually , in her interview with Apple music for Evermore, she said that she reflected her raw emotions on Folklore& Evermore. Cuz of the pandemic and all.
I always love your reactions, you're so insightful and you catch so many of the layers in the songs so fast! Don't know how you do it, but it's a delight to watch you react and talk your way through such great analysis. Thanks so much for sharing this!
THE LOOK. you understood, dorothea and Til this damn season are the same love story from the two people involved's point of view. Thank you for the reaction ♥️
the part in coney island about bday, grey, accident relates to her past relationships at certain points that are tied to her past songs: red, 1989, speak now albums are from what i can remember
You are SO smart and fast thinker. you are the very first reactioner that gets the full story of "no body, no crime" right. People usually miss at least the part where the narrator kills the guy and gets everyone thinking the mistress is to blame
So I love Dorothea, it's just such a cute little song and it always makes me smile when listening to it but also (I don't think it's actually confirmed so I guess it's a fan theory) there's a huge connection to Tis The Damn Season, listen to them back to back and tell me it's not from both perspectives of the couple like she did with Cardigan, August and Betty
oddly enough, I always thought it was talking about how, during the pandemic, her main contact with her friends was Facetime. A tiny screen's the only place I see you now And I got nothing but well wishes for ya /// reminds me of Selena Gomez calling Taylor up from her cooking show to show off her burritos. Selling dreams Selling make up and magazines //also reminded me of Selena and her Rare line of products. Skipping the prom Just to piss off your mom And her pageant schemes // while I know Taylor went to proms (after all, her first boyfriend was a senior), she didn't go to her own (so MTV did a contest and she went to someone else's). Taylor homeschooled starting in 10th grade (radio tour). I don't know enough about Selena to know if she skipped a prom? Or, just adding a bit of fiction. ymmv
She told us she made up all these characters that she's writing about on Folklore/Evermore... but the part she left out of that explanation is that she clearly created characters she highly relates to. She uses the stories of the characters in 'Tis the Damn Season/Dorothea, Tolerate It, Cardigan/August/Betty, and others to write about her own experiences in 3rd person while taking some artistic liberties to add some details that didn't happen irl to her. And she made this abundantly clear with some of the stories in Midnights, especially, and that's so sneaky of her! Like, 'Tis the Damn Season and The 1 relate to Midnight Rain, Tolerate It and Champaign Problems relate to High Infidelity... it's so beautiful how she uses fiction to describe feelings or scenarios she's been in while keeping the details of her personal life private.
Long story short is definitely about her and about the reputation era when she went into hiding and how she was surrounded on all sides but that one person (joe) saved her and made her feel loved in her darkest times...😭 Long story short is 113% my fav from the album
You are soo smart with the lyrics girll...out of all the reaction videos I hv watched, u are the only one who understood no body no crime at the first listen 🔥🔥
I've missed you. Your reactions are always spontaneous and in the moment, and then become nuanced as you consider them further. Very perceptive and intelligent considerations. Looking very much forward to your take on Midnights. Cheers, Gabbsi.
in no body no crime: Este is Este Haim, a singer friend of taylor who does the chorus, taylor is the killer in the song... she avenges her friend. Taylor actually has a license to drive a boat, which is why she sings on the bridge: : "good thing my daddy made me get a boating license when I was fifteen" = she throws the de4d body into the water... a mastermind.
I never thought about Taylor describing being in love as dancing. But it makes so much sense and now it's so obvious for me. Thank you for that. :) And it makes me happy to see Evermore as your number one. It's my fave song off the album. And I was disappointed after my first listen because I expected something else after Exile. Now I love this song so much. The atmosphere. The way she sings. It's so perfect. Evermore is my fave Taylor album. It's just so special for me.
I love ❤️ your Taylor's reactions!!! .....I don't know if it's me but after hearing a Taylor's album ...what left to others " artists" .....they can't Climb this High !!!!!!!!
I love your reactions because you actually listen to lyrics. Cannot wait to see you do Midnights. Please make sure to do the 3am edition because there are 7 extra tracks. :)
I really love how the two bonus tracks are two sides of the same coin. RWYLM tells the story if you refuse to admit that you need to leave and you are stuck unable to leave it behind and ITTG tells the story of realizing you need to leave, leaving it behind, and moving on to bigger and better things.
This came out just a few months after I lost my grandmother so Marjorie hits me really hard every time. I am not a person who cries when someone dies. I just don’t. But I cry every time I listen to this and think of her.
As a little inside in fan theories, people speculated that no body, no crime, dorothea and tis the damn season are connected with each other. 'Tis the damn season is the perspective of Dorothea, who tells her history with the guy from (the song) dorothea. And there is a line that goes "messy as your truck tires". The guy‘s perspective is presented in dorothea, who is maybe married now and has an affair with her over the holidays as stated in her song. And lastly, no body no crime. It‘s the song of Este, the now-wife of the guy. First he kills her, then Dorothea comes back and pauses her life in LA. What could be convincing here is a line that goes "and his truck has got some brand new tires".
im sorry but evermore is my fave tay's baby and this is soooo meeeeeeeeee i love other albums, especially RED n folklore, but evermore is top of the tops. 😍😍😍😍😍😍 EVERMORE DESERVES LONG POND SESSION !
Closure-Artistic masterpiece [for effort/innovation]. Sound of machine vs. Piano instrumental, parts of the sounds that ought to come together to sound pleasing to the ear=Big Machine, Scott, is working against Taylor and what she stands for, gone is any hope for a harmonious relationship. “I know I’m just a wrinkle in your new life”=he took the money from selling her music, a new life excised from all of her blood, sweat, and tears. “Guilty, guilty”, *sung in a rhythm like a judge calling out something whilst banging the gavel in court*=he and Scooter have been found guilty in the court of public opinion, Taylor will not absolve them of guilt on the surface when her victim impact statement still rings true for her and the majority of artists robbed of their life’s work. “Reaching out across the sea that you put between you and me”=he’s responsible for the rift between them. The hurt caused by Scott made her cry a sea, putting a constant source of pain and a reminder that his bandaid apologies won’t heal her trauma and her original music is something that he can never return to her.
Closure to me fits a category of taylor songs in which she discusses themes that could potentially bring a lot of anxiety or triggering thoughts. So I link the industrial sounds in closure to the continuous beeping throughout peace and the desperate “my my my my” in death by a thousand cuts. When she does this with the instrumentals to me it means anxiety. I have no proof to back up this interpretation, it’s just way these 3 songs make me feel.
and here I thought it was the sound of the breakdown of Big Madhine, and the collapse of her once good relationship with Scott Borchetta. . . . but she's a poet so it probably means everything. iirc, the percussion on that track was Justin Vernon? but I don't think he sang on it. hmmmmmmm yeah, Vernon did drums, and his Bon Iver producer BJ Burton helped produce it. So, blame it on them 👍
i think closure is definitely about her old record label. the sounds represent a machine breaking, as her old record label was called big machine records
Dorothea is actually collerated to 'tis the damn season, which in TTDS it's from Dorothea's pov, while in the song "Dorothea" it's the other person's perspective (that person who was being discussed in TTDS)
WTH i just realized the album cover showing her back is a concept of the characters on the songs turning its back on things which is the concept of the whole album.
hmm you misspoke on Coney Island. Bryce (Aaron's twin) isn't the singer. It is Matt Berninger, lead singer of The National (the band that includes both Dessner twins). Bryce did a lot of the orchestration for both albums, while he was living in Paris.
Dorothea wasn’t one of my favorites either at first but when I found out it is believed to be about the males perspective of the guy from Tis the Damn Season I appreciated it way more because it adds more depth to the story
Justin Vernon's voice is normally higher pitched, his voice on exile was so deep and a lot of people were expecting it to be deeper and did not care for his voice in evermore.
I believe that Dorothea and it’s the damn season are related. Like Dorothea is in the perspective of the guy she is going back home to in tis the damn season
loved you reaction and toughts on the album! your reaction to marjorie made me emotional too! 🥺 can i request something? if you can, please react to some selena gomez! I would love to see your opinion on her album Rare (Deluxe) and Revival. thank you and now I'm subscribed! ❤️
i had to pause and explain this bc u were slandering dorothea and that's unacceptable in my books dorothea and 'tis the damn season are a pair dorothea is from the guy' perspective and tis the damn season is from dorothea' perspective dorothea and this guy were childhood friends "the school that used to be ours" "do you ever stop and think about me when we were young" and they both happen to fall in love with each other later on dorothea always dreamed of getting out of her hometown to a bigger city (LA) and being famous "a tiny screen is the only place i see you now" and the guy knows and supports her "and i got nothing but well wishes for ya" she now after moving to LA and getting the fame she always wanted pays visits for her hometown every once in a while where she meets her ex lover when they could "call it even" OR get together and he calls her "babe" but only for the weekend that's why they both know it's no use in doing so cuz dorothea doesn't live there anymore and he doesn't want to hold her back from continuing to achieve her dreams that's why he never asked her to stay "i wont ask you to wait if you dont ask me to stay" the "i wont ask you to wait" could be taken in the context of dorothea not wanting this guy to be stuck in love with her and waiting for her to come back everytime BUT wanting him to move on with his life and find someone else on another note i think dorothea after she moved to LA never made true friends she called him "so called friends" and the guy kept reminding her of his support and love for her "if you ever tired of being known (fame) for who you know you know you'll always know me" yeah if u pay attention to these details in the second listen u can connect the dots and it's a very sad beautiful story
No Body, No Crime being more thrilling than 80% of Netflix is FACTS😂
Folklore and Evermore are such an artistic peaks for Taylor, these albums are timeless
Right where you left me is criminally underrated. It's my most streamed song this year
agreed. i don’t understand why it is just a bonus track
girl u okay???? or should i ask "are WE ever okay?" cz same 😘
@@fairy6245 nah im still at the restaurant
same. it was one of mine's most streamed in both yt and spotify
@@lane_blvd I think because of the story she wanted to tell. Evermore was a fitting closer to the album but the bonus track were a fitting closer to the BMR drama. Right where you left me is the tragic tale of a woman so overwhelmed by grief that she can't move on. It's time to go is Taylor deciding to move on and remake her work.

She wrote Tis the damn season (my fave) when she finished filming the pound session. She went to her room and Aaron that she was sleeping. But she came drunk at 3 am with the whole lyrics and melody. She wrote it drunk
pound session hahahahahhahhahahhaha
@@shizu-chan3942 XD, pond
'I sit and watch you...' from 'Tolerate it' is the most heartbreaking ending of the song.

I saw a theory about gold rush and it’s funny. The person said “ Gold rush is what gorgeous would sound if she wasn’t drunk when she wrote it”🤣
people think that the sound in closure could possibly be seen as a sound of a machine breaking down, and her old record label was “Big Machine”
STOP THIS IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE 😭😭
cowboy like me is probably my favorite song of all time. didnt appreciate it upon my first few listens, but it truly only gets better with each listen
FINALLY CLM APPRECIATION OH MY GODDDDDD
Yes you got it right! The bridge in Coney Island is about her past relationships:
Taylor’s pov: “were you waiting at our old spot in the tree line by the gold clock, did I leave you hanging every single day”- could be about Taylor Lautner (back to december: she apologises to him in the song)
male pov: “were you standing in the hallway with a big cake happy bday”- Jake gyllenhall (the moment I knew: him not showing up to her 21st bday)
“Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest grey”: John Mayer (dear John: you paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain)
“And when I got into the accident the sight that flashed before me was your face”: Harry styles (the infamous snow mobile accident: probably from Harry’s pov since it’s the male artist singing here)
Taylor’s pov: “but when I walked up to the podium I think that I forgot to say your name” : Calvin Harris( when Taylor won a Grammy for 1989, she mentioned in her speech how she achieved this milestone alone and failed to mention/thank her then boyfriend Calvin Harris.
about your last point: she finished writing 1989 in 2014 just before the final (Asian) leg of the Red Tour; she recorded it and it had an October 2014 release. Since she didn't START dating Harris until March of 2015, he didn't actually have a thing to do with the success or non- success of the album. He might have felt slighted, but that'd be on him.
Oh, another possibility for "were you standing in the hallway with a big cake" could also refer to Lautner; in BTD, she does mention that _she_ didn't call _him_ on his birthday . . . . . but, all of this assumes it is, in fact, autobiographical. Which is . . . . . . .maybe. Oh, Taylor's "waiting in the tree line" suddenly reminded me of "heartbeat on the High Line" in Cardigan! Gotta tell my mind to stop looking for parallels before I surrender to insomnia -- again Cheers.
Listening to you after you have listened to a good portion of Taylor's discography, you have grown in understanding Taylor's mind.
Also, I love how you just get all the songs and meanings pretty much right off the bat! Love your reactions!
right?? it took me a solid 2 weeks at least
I love this album. I think as a fandom, most of us, have come to the conclusion that Folklore is a better album but Evermore has better songs.
I also lost my grandma who raised me from the day I was born and was the only constant in my life until I was 17. When I tell you that Marjorie breaks me, it tears my soul in more ways than I can count. I still adore that song because it speaks of a pure and unconditional love. I have always believed and will continue to believe that she was my soulmate and I’m so glad that we loved each other so much and got to spend so much time together.
I just love your reactions and how attentive you are to the lyrics and parallels to other Taylor songs. Also, fun fact, Taylor loves true crime so that only makes No Body No Crime even more special. I also cannot get enough of real life crime series and Criminal Minds.

“Now you hang from my lips like the garden of babylon” WHAT??!!
Lol exactly my reaction like who write something like this???
evermore is my favorite song of the album, and for me, it's 100% a song about someone struggling with their mental health during the pandemic (let's remember this album came out in 2020), having to be in quarantine alone.
Specifically its about her 2016 depression but it applies to anyone who's gone through something similar
I know you're adding in Midnights but if you haven't yet I'd highly recommend giving her Big Red Machine song Renegade a listen. Its in the vein of Evermore sound and it's one of my favorites of hers. Big Red Machine is this experimental group that has Justin and Aaron on it. And Justin sings background vocals on it. Wonderful reaction as always! You're always so on point with your observatons.

I always love your reactions, you're so insightful and you catch so many of the layers in the songs so fast! Don't know how you do it, but it's a delight to watch you react and talk your way through such great analysis. Thanks so much for sharing this!

evermore is my absolute fav
I love you're reactions, u really listen and pay attention and most of the times youre so on point with metaphores. Can't wait for Midnights.

A tiny screen's the only place I see you now
And I got nothing but well wishes for ya /// reminds me of Selena Gomez calling Taylor up from her cooking show to show off her burritos.
Selling dreams
Selling make up and magazines //also reminded me of Selena and her Rare line of products.
Skipping the prom
Just to piss off your mom
And her pageant schemes // while I know Taylor went to proms (after all, her first boyfriend was a senior), she didn't go to her own (so MTV did a contest and she went to someone else's). Taylor homeschooled starting in 10th grade (radio tour). I don't know enough about Selena to know if she skipped a prom? Or, just adding a bit of fiction. ymmv
She is an amazing songwriter, and I really think she doesn't get enough credit. "Tolerate It" murders me.
YOU ARE SO WELL ARTICULATED like i know exactly what the songs are about but i could still listen to you talking for hours about it!!!
She told us she made up all these characters that she's writing about on Folklore/Evermore... but the part she left out of that explanation is that she clearly created characters she highly relates to.

The National is Aaron's band, there are 5 of them Aaron's twin is Bryce.
I really love how the two bonus tracks are two sides of the same coin. RWYLM tells the story if you refuse to admit that you need to leave and you are stuck unable to leave it behind and ITTG tells the story of realizing you need to leave, leaving it behind, and moving on to bigger and better things.
cowboy like me would grow on you its literally the biggest grow song on the albun its my least at first now its my fav it just aged well the sound🤗
I love that you connected nobody no crime to the love triangle😂 never thought of it like that
The lead singer from The National is called Matt. Bryce and Aaron are musicians in the band.
Thank you for appreciating Coney Island! 😍It's one of my favourites from evermore and so underrated.
This came out just a few months after I lost my grandmother so Marjorie hits me really hard every time. I am not a person who cries when someone dies. I just don’t. But I cry every time I listen to this and think of her.
You are such a joy to watch. Thanks for all of these reactions

I am LIVING for the reaction to No Body, No Crime. 😂😂😂
I REALLY love your interpretations. Good video as always, Gabbsi.
Closure-Artistic masterpiece [for effort/innovation]. Sound of machine vs. Piano instrumental, parts of the sounds that ought to come together to sound pleasing to the ear=Big Machine, Scott, is working against Taylor and what she stands for, gone is any hope for a harmonious relationship. “I know I’m just a wrinkle in your new life”=he took the money from selling her music, a new life excised from all of her blood, sweat, and tears. “Guilty, guilty”, *sung in a rhythm like a judge calling out something whilst banging the gavel in court*=he and Scooter have been found guilty in the court of public opinion, Taylor will not absolve them of guilt on the surface when her victim impact statement still rings true for her and the majority of artists robbed of their life’s work. “Reaching out across the sea that you put between you and me”=he’s responsible for the rift between them.

i think closure is definitely about her old record label. the sounds represent a machine breaking, as her old record label was called big machine records
No body no crime gives me big goodbye earl vibes and I think that’s why it’s my fave song on the album
You’re great!❤ I’m really looking forward to seeing your Midnights reaction
people say that "evermore" increases the rhythm at the end representing the anxiety of the thoughts
or maybe, it is just more upbeat with the return of hope and some optimism for the future?
Dorothea is actually collerated to 'tis the damn season, which in TTDS it's from Dorothea's pov, while in the song "Dorothea" it's the other person's perspective (that person who was being discussed in TTDS)
The music video for willow is awesome.
Yeah, it's so magical ✨️
Not she saying este is betty's second name ksbsjsvsjs love her😭✨
So excited for the Midnights reaction!!!!!😭😭😭
WTH i just realized the album cover showing her back is a concept of the characters on the songs turning its back on things which is the concept of the whole album.
Happiness and it's time to go are about her label as well
You’re so freaking clever i can’t 💜
the evermore (the song) appreciation is so much appreciated ♥
So much love for your reaction ❤️❤️❤️
hmm you misspoke on Coney Island. Bryce (Aaron's twin) isn't the singer. It is Matt Berninger, lead singer of The National (the band that includes both Dessner twins). Bryce did a lot of the orchestration for both albums, while he was living in Paris.
I missed your Taylor reactions 🥺❤
Actually the song dorothea and tis the damn season are connected to each other, Just like the "love triangle" trilogy from folklore
Dorothea wasn’t one of my favorites either at first but when I found out it is believed to be about the males perspective of the guy from Tis the Damn Season I appreciated it way more because it adds more depth to the story
Oh I wish you would do TS more often
OMG I LOVE U SO MUCH 😭😭😭😭 THANK U
I M HERE FOR IT
Cant wait for your midnights reaction
Oh gabbsi, YOU ARE BECOMING AN OG SWIFTIE!!! I am sooooo proud!!!!!
Justin Vernon's voice is normally higher pitched, his voice on exile was so deep and a lot of people were expecting it to be deeper and did not care for his voice in evermore.
Dorothea and tis the damn season are connected! Dorothea is from the male perspective
LMAO
we love u so much u have no idea
Thanks!
Great reaction!
I believe that Dorothea and it’s the damn season are related. Like Dorothea is in the perspective of the guy she is going back home to in tis the damn season
loved you reaction and toughts on the album! your reaction to marjorie made me emotional too! 🥺
can i request something? if you can, please react to some selena gomez! I would love to see your opinion on her album Rare (Deluxe) and Revival. thank you and now I'm subscribed! ❤️
YOU SHOULD REACT TO MIDNIGHTS QUEEN
52:53 "and everybody around you is getting married or buried" idk why but that's so funny I love that
So No Body No crime is James and Betty's season two story arc xD
I love . My fave reactor🧡🧡
Some think closure is about Scott Borchetta or possibly Kanye.
i had to pause and explain this bc u were slandering dorothea and that's unacceptable in my books
dorothea and 'tis the damn season are a pair
dorothea is from the guy' perspective and tis the damn season is from dorothea' perspective
dorothea and this guy were childhood friends "the school that used to be ours" "do you ever stop and think about me when we were young"
and they both happen to fall in love with each other later on
dorothea always dreamed of getting out of her hometown to a bigger city (LA) and being famous "a tiny screen is the only place i see you now"
and the guy knows and supports her "and i got nothing but well wishes for ya"
she now after moving to LA and getting the fame she always wanted pays visits for her hometown every once in a while where she meets her ex lover when they could "call it even" OR get together and he calls her "babe" but only for the weekend that's why they both know it's no use in doing so cuz dorothea doesn't live there anymore and he doesn't want to hold her back from continuing to achieve her dreams that's why he never asked her to stay "i wont ask you to wait if you dont ask me to stay"
the "i wont ask you to wait" could be taken in the context of dorothea not wanting this guy to be stuck in love with her and waiting for her to come back everytime BUT wanting him to move on with his life and find someone else
on another note i think dorothea after she moved to LA never made true friends she called him "so called friends" and the guy kept reminding her of his support and love for her "if you ever tired of being known (fame) for who you know you know you'll always know me"
yeah if u pay attention to these details in the second listen u can connect the dots and it's a very sad beautiful story
34:46 exactly my reaction lol
AAAAAAAAA LOVE IT
