So Scarlet It Was Maroon @folksystuff - Tumblr Blog

do you have or could you make a webweave about nostalgia? specifically of the yearning and grieving variety. it's killing me that all of it is gone forever, that all that remains is an echo, and that it will only keep fading. big yikes.

Can we talk about the cover for a second? Do you remember how she said she specifically chose the picture where she wasn't smiling because she didn't want to give away the album or have people form an opinion on it based on the cover and the mysterious one was better? But now with her own version she's full on smiling with her whole face shown, hair blowing in the wind and she looks so joyful and free.

We’re in Des Moines, Iowa today, were in Omaha, Nebraska yesterday and Boise, Idaho the day before. When we landed at the airport in Boise, from Portland, Oregon this lady from our plane came up from behind as we walked down the terminal. She approached me and said “Taylor, I just love your song and want to wish you great things in you career." I looked and her and said "Well, THANK YOU!" and then said ” who did you talk to?“. (and then pointed to my Mom and the Label rep we were traveling with) I was convinced that one of them had talked to the lady on the plane and told her about me and my song. The lady said "neither one” and then I said “Well, how did you know who I was?” and the lady said “because I listen to radio and I watched your video”. This was the first time someone had actually KNOWN who I was and MY NAME. wow. I just walked over and hugged her, and said ….“You’re the first person who’s ever done that, thankyou." It was an amazing moment to remember, and I always will.

It's hilarious when people are like "taylor swift's songs are engineered to be as generically relatable as possible" because then you actually listen to the songs in question and she's just like

"I am a SELF-DESTRUCTIVE MONSTER who ruins everything I touch, I MANIPULATED everyone into liking me, my potential has been WASTED due to circumstances of MY OWN CREATION, I go back to an EMPTY HOUSE because everyone in my life has moved on, I am a BLEEDING OPEN WOUND, all my kindness is really just NARCISSISM IN DISGUISE, I will BREAK MYSELF FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT, I STARVED MYSELF in order to be saved by an idealised romance, I can go ANYWHERE except for THE PLACE I CALLED HOME, I will SPIRAL UNCONTROLLABLY if left to my own devices, I AM THE INSTRUMENT OF MY OWN DESTRUCTION, THIS WAS INEVITABLE"

I SENT THOSE LYRICS TO MY BEST FRIEND THIS EVENING AND TOLD HIM HOW SAD THIS MAKES ME

idk if any of y’all are readers but please just go pick up any book by fredrik backman it will cure something broken in you. please i’m begging you.

Most books leave me feeling a whirlwind of emotions - sort of like I was dropped in the middle of a thunderstorm. Then end of story feels like the thunderstorm ended and I feel the loss around me keenly.

Backman though - I have only read 3 of his books and all 3 left me feeling .... complex. Like I was stood there, waiting for the rain I can see coming. A rain like the kind you see in anime funerals of a beloved character - cold * sad, yet gentle & steady. Like I can't bring myself to go back inside - so I stand there, getting drenched. And then the rain ends, and sun peeks out. I am still soaked - from rain and tears both, there is a feeling of tragedy, but also peace as I close my eyes and tip my face to the sun. That's the feeling it gives me.
