Very first thoughts on TLOAS

The Fate of Ophelia : doesn't hit like the beginning of TTPD i gotta say. The clap clap is super catchy though but I'm afraid of getting tired of the catchiness.

Elizabeth Taylor : the chorus is so good oml!!!

Opalite: feels kinda juvenile, not sure i like it, but i would actually dance on it with boyfriend if we were in a romcom

Father Figure: the one i'vve been waiting for!! a been disappointed but the last verse is really good lyrics wise. Also the note progression in the chorus makes me think of Soon You'll Get Better

Eldest Daugther: is "smooth operators" already in an other song? anyway, kinda makes me wanna cry. "when i said i didn't believe in marriage, that was lie" OMG also love when she talks about memories in her songs

Ruin the Friendship: i'm still processing.

Actually Romantic: I don't care for it honestly?

Wi$h Li$t: okay I can feeeeel the 1989 vibe, hi Max Martin. It's one of my favorites so far, I'm dancing to it hard

Wood: OH MY GOD. I was afraid of waking up my bf by laughing so hard

CANCELLED!: honestly the one song I might skip in the future.

Honey: it's so cute. I'm so glad she found this love. when she sings "give me more", it kinda has Lover vibes, i like it

The Life of a Showgirl: new character unlocked yes! it's okay.

Overall I'm not disappointed because I didn't expect anything. It's a fun album. I might grow to like it more like Midnights which I didn't like much a the beginning but which I love now!

Thoughts while listening to TTPD: The Anthology for the first time

The Black Dog: Too relatable of a post breakup song. Oh no, her voice shaking at the end is so sad.

imgonnagetyouback: again with the marriage theme. so this is the bargaining phase of the breakup mourning? The stripped back part is impactful, I like it.

The Albatross: evermore vibesss!! Idk how but the rhythm of the background instruments in the chorus feels like a large bird flapping its wings, very well done.

Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus: hey my name is in there! hey Maroon! hey White Horse!

How Did It End?: Yay we're invited to a funeral. "We must know, how did it end?" feels like a fan's perspective, speculating about her relationships and breakups. This song is kind of haunting.

So High School: Okay but to be in high school right now and being able to wake up and walk to school this song blasting in your headphones, you kids have it good. Enjoy this period of your life!

I Hate It Here: "tell me something awful like you're a poet trapped in the body of a finance guy?" what??? this line is so good. Imagine opening a song with this line. This resonates with my precocious childhood. Omg I love this song. Feels like having your life flashing before your eyes.

thanK you aIMee: I see you Aaron Dessner! This is suuuuch a typical Taylor song my God. Like Mean but more elevated. I imagined North singing this and I chuckled.

I Look in People's Windows: I see Aaron Dessner is still here. Ooh I like it! Weird Taylor for the win.

The Prophecy: "A stronger woman wouldn't beg" girlie we've all been there. Not her howling at the moon before the last chorus. I love it. I relate to it too much.

Cassandra: I need to listen to it more but I know I like the background vocals.

Peter: Just from the first few notes I know I'm gonna like it! Peter is 17 and doesn't know anything.

The Bolter: Red vibes! That little touch of Country Taylor is nice for a song about her. It is about her, right? Did she almost drown at six?

Robin: The melody is lovely!

The Manuscript: Oooh the instrumental between the verses is magnificent! Very Dear Reader vibes obviously. I do hope she is at peace now.

#Taylor Swift #The Tortured Poets Department #TS TTPD #TTPD release #I think I prefer the first part of the album #But maybe I was just more excited for it #I do feel like The Anthology is less polished?#It's definitely messier #Not in a bad way but in an interesting way #I don't see myself being as obsessed with these songs as I am with some of the first part #Maybe just a couple of them #The Albatross #The Prophecy #for example #I know it's gonna grow on me

Florida!!! is a millenial song

no, i will not elaborate

i need a mash up of Who's afraid of little old ME HE HE

#Taylor Swift #The Tortured Poets Department #Lover #ME!#Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?#TTPD #TS TTPD #Taylurking #Imagine this mashup as a surprise song

The "But it's gonna be alright, I did my time" of Fresh Out The Slammer and the "And you deserve prison, but you won't get time" of The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived

#Taylor Swift #The Tortured Poets Department #TTPD #TS TTPD #Fresh Out The Slammer #The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived #Joe Alwyn #Original post #TS lyrics

Tbh I don’t think revealing somebody else’s mental health issues and making it about yourself is ‘classy’ at all. Writing about your exes being a dick and dumping you by phone is one thing. Writing about them being depressed is invasive.

I for one don't see where Taylor is revealing any of Joe's mental health issues.

The only lyrics that would presumably be about a depression in So Long, London according to Genius are

You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days

but "blue days" don't equal depression, he could just be moody

and

Pulled him in tighter each time he was drifting away

which I interpret as him drifting away from her and their relationship, which obviously can happen without being depressed

I don't follow him, but I don't think he ever opened up about having mental health struggles? Whereas Taylor has and I don't think she would be that done-deaf and demeaning toward people suffering from it. I'm pretty sure she had the opportunity with some other exs and yet she never did, so I don't think she would start now.

If you have another interpretation of the lyrics I'd be happy to read it! Hope you still enjoy the album!

#Taylor Swift #Joe Alwyn #So Long London #TTPD #The Tortured Poets Department #Asks #Two other things not worth saying in the main post #is that 1. being sad is not the same as being depressed so until someone can tell me about more supposed symptoms #or he reveals he suffered from it #i'm not just gonna assume that joe has clinical depression because it's not our job to diagnose people #(well it's actually my day job but i get paid for it and i don't do it with strangers i know nothing about)#and 2. being depressed is not an excuse to act like shit with the people who are close to you love you and try to help you #I say this as someone who went through 3 waves of diagnosed depression from 14 to 25 and who deals with a chronic mental illness

'cause I'm miserable 😄😄😇😂 and no one even knows 😁😜😝🤣 try and come come for my job 😮‍💨😒🙄😏

Also this album plays with humor in ways Taylor hasn't experimented with before and as with everything else she tries, she absolutely NAILS how to do it in a tasteful way.
