Every reaction I watch of yours on a Taylor song, I feel like I've sat through a Masters Class of lyric dissection on human emotions. Thank you very much!
I love the fact that this song is her best friend Abigail’s divorce who she grew up with. I mean isn’t it too briliant to be that empathetic to even write a song about someone else’s pain as if you personally have gone through it all?
This is apparently bassed off of one of her close friends divorce. Taylor actually talked about how she felt that even when/if you forgive the other person what must be really hard is suddenly having to build a completely new life after spending so many years used to spending most of your time with that person ie. moving house, making new friends (coz so many of your old ones are shared with your ex), going to diffrent restaurants (in case you bump into your ex at the old ones you used to visit together) & finding new hobbies as well as the fear of re-entering the daiting scene & how you'll eventually have to contemplate seeing your ex be with someone else & learn to be ok with that.
I see the ‘dancing as the music stopped’ like they didn’t see what was coming. This song is incredible, I listened to it right after a breakup & it was SO hard to hear but now, 10 months later I can see it from the perspective of someone who can finally see it ‘for what it is’ instead of being in the thick of it all. The way she captured it all is just amazing. And the ‘sunrise’ line is truly special when you finally can see past the darkness 🫶
This is my all time favorite Taylor song it’s right up there for me with All Too Well especially because it came at a time when my husband and I were separating after 10 years…this song came right when I needed it most and we ended up making it work again but this song will always have a special place in my heart cause it perfectly describes how heartbreak from a person you still love or is still good to you feels ❤
The most special thing ever about Folklore and Evermore album, which makes then twin brothers and my absolutely favorites albums, is that there are folkloric tales, it blows my mind imagining she expressing so much well those feeling she not necessarily felt or lived before, and then we are able to navigate through the stories that se sing, i love love love it! Thanks you for sharing your incredible knowledge with us
this is not most people's favorite song, but it has always provided me with peace and hope that the future will not hold as much bitterness for me. i love your insights and dissection of the song, please keep being amazing! also i found a parallel !! "When you think happiness, I hope you think that little black dress" in Tim Mcgraw and then goes on to say 15 years later "Dappled with the flickers of light, From the dress I wore at midnight, leave it all behind, And there is happiness" in Happiness!!
Thank you for all of your words, vulnerability, openness, and honesty. "Please be safe" might have been exactly what I needed to hear tonight and I appreciate it greatly.
Thank you so much for reacting to this song!! This is absolutely my favorite song in the evermore album. For me, this is a really beautiful song about closure, acceptance, and accountability
This song has been such a source of comfort to me. In late 2022 I finally completely ended a on-off relationship that I’d been in for seven years. But this person and I still love and value each other, so there’s no “bad guy,” just bad timing and different life goals. “No one teaches you what to do When a good man hurts you And you know you hurt him too”
I'm quite late but I think the green light may also be a Gatsby reference. Gatsby sees the green light at the end of daisy's dock as a beacon of hope, Hes hoping she will forgive him.
Your knowledge >>> Like I would not have linked this back to Taylor singing about Gatsby and then you linking the beautiful fool comment. Your analysis all the time is just so good
for me the part of the post chorus where she says: “past the blood and bruise, past the curses and cries, beyond the terror of the night fall, hunted by the look in my eyes’’ it’s like the stages you past after a breakup, you know sadness, then anger, disbelief of how they could made me this?, all of this thoughts coming to her at night, that is when all of the sudden we start thinking of the things that happened and how they happened, then she continues with: “that would’ve love you for a life time, leve it all behind and there is happiness”, another stage that can be acceptation of the breakup; yes I love you and I could’ve go like that on forever but I accept what is happening now so I have to past over this because after this I will find my happiness. hope it makes sense what I’m saying, I love your videos, I really like how you interpret things ☺️
Taylor once said in an interview with I think Zane Lowe that evermore deals with all kinds of closure and endings and listening to you pick this song apart, I really see that more, thank you! I'd recommend "Closure" off of evermore, I absolutely love it💞
I’m going through a separation from the guy who I thought was “the one”. The lyrics “I was dancing when the music stopped” perfectly describes how I felt. Im new to your channel and idk the intention of this video but it really helped validate alot of my feelings as they relate to these lyrics. Thank you so much 😢❤
This song is sad, but I always took it as more hopeful than anything. Knowing that even though it huts now there will be happiness. I wish I had this song when i was a teen. Even though the relationship in the song is about a romantic relationship I think its about big machine and Scott, who was her mentor and probably a close friend.
When I first heard this song I was going through a particularly rough time in my relationship in that i thought it was over. I related to the song so much and it never fails to make me cry. I think that is because it takes me back to that very hurtful and sad time in my life too. This song is incredible and so underrated.
I think you’d really love Conan Gray, specifically Superache. I’d love to see your reaction to Family Line ❤ a lot of us relate to that kind of childhood abuse and you’re so good at validating our experiences, I bet it would be very healing.
I think the blood and bruise/curses and cries lines are the middle of that relationship breakdown, maybe the denial she feels? Maybe the curses are her cursing him for leaving, or cries - crying over him leaving? Maybe this is a nod to the thick of a divorce/separation/breakup of a long term relationship? This is just a thought, it’s always been the way I’ve interpreted these lines :)
I’ve just discovered your channel today and I’m binge watching all of your Taylor analysis and it’s making me notice so much that I didn’t before. I would like to recommend some Harry Styles songs to analyse as I would love to see your input on some of his songs. Just by going through his albums these are some recommendations; Meet Me in the Hallway, Sign of the Times, From the Dining Table, Lights Up, She, Fine Line, As It Was, Little Freak, Matilda, Keep Driving, Satellite, Boyfriends, Love Of My Life. I’m loving your reactions so far :)
Yay! I'm glad you did it, although I perhaps.should have emphasized the gut punch in.the feels. You walk through emotions and like *why* it matters in such a clear way. This is helpful content, and I always look forward to your take.
You know? “From the dress I wore at midnight” I’ve only used one dress at midnight, and that didnt make sense since it might get cold and trouble might come with it. But I was super excited and full with expectations, little innocent too, that I just wanted to look pretty and my best for someone. So, I associate that line with a fresh initial part of innocence, raw feelings and hopes. I just wanted to share. Thank you for this video 🤍
SU MEJOR CANCIOOOÓN Es tan, madura, realista, cruel pero al final tiene una certeza de que las cosas siguen. Me gusta tanto que no especifique qué pasó entre ellos, hubiera odiado que sea una infidelidad; porque esa NO ES LA ÚNICA FORMA DE FALLAR EN UNA RELACIÓN y aparentemente la mayor parte de las veces, los motivos para terminar no son porque uno de los dos sea activamente mala persona o pareja, sino que pasan cosas y ya, o dejan de pasar, y no hay culpables directos Personalmente Evermore es mi disco favorito, y veo una historia en el album, que no sé si haya sido intencional de parte de Taylor Tolerate it, que habla de darse cuenta de que ya no funcionan las cosas It's me to go, pues eso, es hora de irse Happiness, en donde entendes que en serio es lo mejor para ambos, que aunque haya sido lindo ya no lo es, pero alguna vez lo fue, y alguna vez volverás a estar bien Long story short podria entrar, aunque no soy tan partidario de terminar asi, porque me parece demasiado final feliz y no me parece que ese siempre tenga que ser el caso Tolerate it hasta que te das cuenta de que it's time to go, pero todo va a estar bien, alguna vez volverás a encontrar esa happiness, i esa es la long story short Ah, y closure, por si el ex quiere volver just to break you like a promise
Honey, when I'm above the trees I see this for what it is But now I'm right down in it All the years I've given Is just shit we're dividing up Showed you all of my hiding spots I was dancing when the music stopped And in the disbelief I can't face reinvention I haven't met the new me yet There'll be happiness after you But there was happiness because of you Both of these things can be true There is happiness Past the blood and bruise Past the curses and cries Beyond the terror in the nightfall Haunted by the look in my eyes That would've loved you for a lifetime Leave it all behind And there is happiness Tell me, when did your winning smile Begin to look like a smirk? When did all our lessons start to look like weapons pointed at my deepest hurt? I hope she'll be a beautiful fool Who takes my spot next to you No, I didn't mean that Sorry, I can't see facts through all of my fury You haven't met the new me yet There'll be happiness after me But there was happiness because of me Both of these things I believe There is happiness In our history Across our great divide There is a glorious sunrise Dappled with the flickers of light From the dress I wore at midnight Leave it all behind And there is happiness I can't make it go away by making you a villain I guess it's the price I pay for seven years in heaven And I pulled your body into mine every goddamn night now I get fake niceties No one teaches you what to do When a good man hurts you And you know you hurt him too Honey, when I'm above the trees I see it for what it is But now my eyes leak acid rain On the pillow where you used to lay your head After giving you the best I had Tell me what to give after that All you want from me now Is the green light of forgiveness You haven't met the new me yet And I think she'll give you that There'll be happiness after you But there was happiness because of you too Both of these things can be true There is happiness In our history Across our great divide There is a glorious sunrise Dappled with the flickers of light From the dress I wore at midnight Leave it all behind Oh, leave it all behind Leave it all behind And there is happiness
I sometimes feel bad that you mostly react to all the hurtful and sad songs because of the nature of your job. Maybe you enjoy that part, I'm not sure. I shouldn't speculate. Love your videos.
One of my all time favorites for sure! I have always thought it is about her relationship with the owner of her past label. He watched her grow but then somehow betrayed her with the selling of her masters to S.B.
this song never fails to make me cry, especially at the "haunted by the look in my eyes that would've loved you for a lifetime"
I think Right Where You Left Me is a great song for you to analyse
Very Miss Habersham vibes in that song. From Great Expectations- I may have spelled the name wrong. I'm trusting autocorrect. But great choice!
Yes!!! We need the reaction to this!!!
Every reaction I watch of yours on a Taylor song, I feel like I've sat through a Masters Class of lyric dissection on human emotions. Thank you very much!
I love the fact that this song is her best friend Abigail’s divorce who she grew up with. I mean isn’t it too briliant to be that empathetic to even write a song about someone else’s pain as if you personally have gone through it all?
Where did she say that?
This is apparently bassed off of one of her close friends divorce.

This song literally changed my perspective on healing. It gives me goosebumps AHHHH
1:27 "you guys are killing me!" It's kind of like, we want you to suffer and get all emotional just like we did!
I see the ‘dancing as the music stopped’ like they didn’t see what was coming. This song is incredible, I listened to it right after a breakup & it was SO hard to hear but now, 10 months later I can see it from the perspective of someone who can finally see it ‘for what it is’ instead of being in the thick of it all.

You mean twin sisters??
This is my 2nd favorite song by her!! I think it’s so underrated, and a great therapeutic song for me!
Mine toooo
this is not most people's favorite song, but it has always provided me with peace and hope that the future will not hold as much bitterness for me. i love your insights and dissection of the song, please keep being amazing!
also i found a parallel !!
"When you think happiness, I hope you think that little black dress" in Tim Mcgraw

Thank you for all of your words, vulnerability, openness, and honesty. "Please be safe" might have been exactly what I needed to hear tonight and I appreciate it greatly.
It’s such a heart wrenching and beautiful song absolutely love it ❤❤
I love how emotional you get when listening to the songs, music is so powerful
Thank you so much for reacting to this song!! This is absolutely my favorite song in the evermore album. For me, this is a really beautiful song about closure, acceptance, and accountability
i am BEGGINGGGG you to analyze right where you left me by taylor. i can’t tell you how many times i’ve cried to that song
Great video. My recommendation is “Death by a thousand cuts”, i think that will be a great reaction. ❤
This song has been such a source of comfort to me. In late 2022 I finally completely ended a on-off relationship that I’d been in for seven years. But this person and I still love and value each other, so there’s no “bad guy,” just bad timing and different life goals.
“No one teaches you what to do
When a good man hurts you
And you know you hurt him too”
I'm quite late but I think the green light may also be a Gatsby reference. Gatsby sees the green light at the end of daisy's dock as a beacon of hope, Hes hoping she will forgive him.
Your knowledge >>>

I'd recommend "Closure" off of evermore, I absolutely love it💞
Taylor is killing my emotion train of understanding here. My goodness. Our hearts.
This song cut my heart open the first time I heard it. I was at work and started crying. I am recently divorced and felt this so hard
I love your lyrics analysis soooo much omg
I’m going through a separation from the guy who I thought was “the one”. The lyrics “I was dancing when the music stopped” perfectly describes how I felt. Im new to your channel and idk the intention of this video but it really helped validate alot of my feelings as they relate to these lyrics. Thank you so much 😢❤
We had the same thoughts. I immediately think of The Great Gatsby with that line. That Novel is so fine 🥹
Great video! And shout out to your nephew, he’s doing a great job!
This song is sad, but I always took it as more hopeful than anything. Knowing that even though it huts now there will be happiness. I wish I had this song when i was a teen.
Even though the relationship in the song is about a romantic relationship I think its about big machine and Scott, who was her mentor and probably a close friend.
Most people don’t know this song has many gatsby illusions. Once you hear them though, they’re hard to unhear.
Omg! I love your videosss. Thanks for this perfect analysis
This is such an interesting series, thanks for sharing
I was hoping you would post tonight💜
Loved it ❤️ ps: your hair looks so pretty
When I first heard this song I was going through a particularly rough time in my relationship in that i thought it was over. I related to the song so much and it never fails to make me cry. I think that is because it takes me back to that very hurtful and sad time in my life too.
This song is incredible and so underrated.
I think you’d really love Conan Gray, specifically Superache. I’d love to see your reaction to Family Line ❤ a lot of us relate to that kind of childhood abuse and you’re so good at validating our experiences, I bet it would be very healing.
That's essentially what the movie Inside Out is about: you can feel two emotions at the same time, & that's okay. 😊
This song is so wonderful. My favorite from TS.
Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince
Now I have my free therapy!!! THANK YOUUUU!!!! ❤❤❤
I would love to see your analysis to You're On Your Own Kid from Taylor's new album Midnights
I think the blood and bruise/curses and cries lines are the middle of that relationship breakdown, maybe the denial she feels? Maybe the curses are her cursing him for leaving, or cries - crying over him leaving?
Maybe this is a nod to the thick of a divorce/separation/breakup of a long term relationship? This is just a thought, it’s always been the way I’ve interpreted these lines :)
for me this is her best written song 🥺❤️ so glad you loved it
my parents just got divorced and this song just hits even harder thinking about it from one of their perspectives
Now legally obliged to do anti-hero
I’ve just discovered your channel today and I’m binge watching all of your Taylor analysis and it’s making me notice so much that I didn’t before.

She says in an interview " you haven't met the new me yet" means the person that replaces her
I think she meant haunted by how much she loved the person because it says “ haunted by the look in my eyes THAT would’ve loved you for a life time.”
Please react to Right Where You Left Me!!!
You should react to “kaleidoscope “ by chappell roan, I think you’d love it!
I was never a Taylor swift song until this song
I wonder if this could be an ode to the much loved film The Way We Were?
Please use the official lyric videos! They are great
You know? “From the dress I wore at midnight” I’ve only used one dress at midnight, and that didnt make sense since it might get cold and trouble might come with it. But I was super excited and full with expectations, little innocent too, that I just wanted to look pretty and my best for someone. So, I associate that line with a fresh initial part of innocence, raw feelings and hopes.
I just wanted to share. Thank you for this video 🤍
I'm going through a divorce right now and this is exactly what it feels like
thank you.
SU MEJOR CANCIOOOÓN
Es tan, madura, realista, cruel pero al final tiene una certeza de que las cosas siguen.
Me gusta tanto que no especifique qué pasó entre ellos, hubiera odiado que sea una infidelidad; porque esa NO ES LA ÚNICA FORMA DE FALLAR EN UNA RELACIÓN y aparentemente la mayor parte de las veces, los motivos para terminar no son porque uno de los dos sea activamente mala persona o pareja, sino que pasan cosas y ya, o dejan de pasar, y no hay culpables directos
Personalmente Evermore es mi disco favorito, y veo una historia en el album, que no sé si haya sido intencional de parte de Taylor
Tolerate it, que habla de darse cuenta de que ya no funcionan las cosas
It's me to go, pues eso, es hora de irse
Happiness, en donde entendes que en serio es lo mejor para ambos, que aunque haya sido lindo ya no lo es, pero alguna vez lo fue, y alguna vez volverás a estar bien
Long story short podria entrar, aunque no soy tan partidario de terminar asi, porque me parece demasiado final feliz y no me parece que ese siempre tenga que ser el caso
Tolerate it hasta que te das cuenta de que it's time to go, pero todo va a estar bien, alguna vez volverás a encontrar esa happiness, i esa es la long story short
Ah, y closure, por si el ex quiere volver just to break you like a promise
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL SM AAA 🏌🏌
Can you react to wouldve couldve shouldve from her new album bonus tracks, its heartbreaking
Honey, when I'm above the trees
I see this for what it is
But now I'm right down in it
All the years I've given
Is just shit we're dividing up
Showed you all of my hiding spots
I was dancing when the music stopped
And in the disbelief
I can't face reinvention
I haven't met the new me yet
There'll be happiness after you
But there was happiness because of you
Both of these things can be true
There is happiness
Past the blood and bruise
Past the curses and cries
Beyond the terror in the nightfall
Haunted by the look in my eyes
That would've loved you for a lifetime
Leave it all behind
And there is happiness
Tell me, when did your winning smile
Begin to look like a smirk?
When did all our lessons start to look like weapons pointed at my deepest hurt?
I hope she'll be a beautiful fool
Who takes my spot next to you
No, I didn't mean that
Sorry, I can't see facts through all of my fury
You haven't met the new me yet
There'll be happiness after me
But there was happiness because of me
Both of these things I believe
There is happiness
In our history
Across our great divide
There is a glorious sunrise
Dappled with the flickers of light
From the dress I wore at midnight
Leave it all behind
And there is happiness
I can't make it go away by making you a villain
I guess it's the price I pay for seven years in heaven
And I pulled your body into mine every goddamn night now I get fake niceties
No one teaches you what to do
When a good man hurts you
And you know you hurt him too
Honey, when I'm above the trees
I see it for what it is
But now my eyes leak acid rain
On the pillow where you used to lay your head
After giving you the best I had
Tell me what to give after that
All you want from me now
Is the green light of forgiveness
You haven't met the new me yet
And I think she'll give you that
There'll be happiness after you
But there was happiness because of you too
Both of these things can be true
There is happiness
In our history
Across our great divide
There is a glorious sunrise
Dappled with the flickers of light
From the dress I wore at midnight
Leave it all behind
Oh, leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
And there is happiness
This hits different with TTPD coming out 🔪💔
Please, analyze “Its time to go” ❤
Are you gonna react to midnights???
I sometimes feel bad that you mostly react to all the hurtful and sad songs because of the nature of your job. Maybe you enjoy that part, I'm not sure. I shouldn't speculate. Love your videos.
please react to black beauty by lana del rey, i bet you gonna like
react to you all over me next!
React to "is this happiness" by lana?
Is this song about Selena Gomez?
It's about Abigail's divorce
Could you analyze a Lana Del Rey song please
One of my all time favorites for sure! I have always thought it is about her relationship with the owner of her past label. He watched her grow but then somehow betrayed her with the selling of her masters to S.B.
it's ironic that you mentioned Claire Danes because I think you look JUST LIKE HER
just excited about the fact that you'll have 13 more songs to analyze after tonight 🥹
20 now 🎉
You should put ‘Closure’ on your list.
