Randomly thinking about “tolerate it” (narrator voice: it was not random) and how under the cloak of fiction it is ostensibly inspired by works like “Rebecca” (which Taylor said she read during the 2020 lockdowns I believe?), with the line of “you’re so much older and wiser” indicating that the speaker is significantly younger and inexperienced compared to the person she’s speaking to and a pretty direct reference to the plot of the book.

But I saw something somewhere once that stuck with me about how it might not be referring to relative age between the characters but chronological age as in the passage of time in a relationship. And that made me think about how in a contemporary context, it might not necessarily be referencing an actual age gap between the two characters, but rather a sarcastic or cynical response to the man’s claims that he has matured (“you’re so much older and wiser [than you were before/than you were when we met/etc.]”), which then made me think about that line in relation to the woman. And that it could be taken like, “you act like you’ve matured so much in our time together and like you know everything, while I’m supposedly still stuck as the girl I was when we first met.”

Which then made me think of the “right where you left me” of it all and did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen time went on for everyone else she won’t know it and the bit in Miss Americana where she talks about how celebrities get frozen at the age at which they got famous, and how she’s had to play catch up in a lot of ways not just in her emotional growth but kind of in general. (Which also made me wonder if she’s ever been called out for immaturity/lack of curiosity/lack of education about things in her life…)

Which then made me think about the rest of the song, and @taylortruther’s posts yesterday about “seven” and “Daylight” and the way Taylor idealizes her youth yet contrasts it with an almost sinister reality in its wake, and the line, “I sit by the door like I’m just a kid,” because the discussion raised that her relationship let her recapture some of the childlike joy and wonder she’d lost. So this line is a double-edged sword: the speaker sits by the door with childlike hope that the person will come home and cherish her, but on the darker side, feels like the child dealing with the monsters she doesn’t have names for yet and the feelings of isolation she felt as she aged.

I’m not saying the song is necessarily autobiographical; like most of the songs on folkmore, it’s clearly a fictionalized story based on media she’d consumed and created, but we know a lot of the fictional songs were infused with her own feelings and experiences and… This idea swirling in my head picked up steam and now I kind of can’t stop thinking about it. Sorry but I’m a little obsessed now.

Like maybe it might start to shed light on why she identified so strongly with the novel in the first place…

#the third eye has been opened #😵‍💫 #like tolerate it was always a difficult song #even when we learned it was based on Rebecca it obviously took on new meaning post-joever #and especially in light of ttpd #but the thought spiral i went on last night when i started thinking about all these connections #and the evermore of it all #I’m Charlie at the conspiracy board again #writing letters addressed to the fire #me thinking too hard about Taylor lyrics #evermore my beloved #tolerate it #i kinda gave myself the ick with all this 😵‍💫 #because of the ttpd of it all coming up #and i feel like i remember interviews where Taylor said joe was so well-read especially about like world events and politics and stuff #and supported her when she wanted to start speaking up (not getting into that) #but just based on ~vibes now I wonder if that was like a sore point too at some point #which again i have no proof of but just like… experience with pretentious millennial art bros lol #oh man oh man oh man #this feels like some sort of huge revelation at 1:00 am #when i started writing this lol #eta: when I queued this in the middle of the night i didn't see all the excellent discussion about the seven/folklore posts #so all of you who have been posting about them this morning consider yourselves tagged too!

it was written that I would love you

close your eyes and I'll kiss you

when I'm with you I want to stay there

i'm in love and it's a sunny day

now i'll never dance with another

i can't tell you how I feel

i'll do anything for you, anything you want me to

and it doesn't really matter if I'm wrong I'm right

i'd like to stand in a stream with you

lift up your hearts and sing me a song

love is long, love is long

and I love her

we believe that we can't be wrong

we can do what we want, we can live as we choose

and I need love, yeah I need love

i don't see the point resisting your temptation

do you don't you want me to love you

well you can come on to my place if you want to

gonna get hi hi hi in the midday sun

lady let's eat in bed

no one will be watching us

i don't need a true romancer

make love to me and make it right

tonight I just want to stay in, and be with you, and be with you

deep in love, not a lot to say

sing it loud, so I can hear you

i'm in love with a friend of mine

it's understood, it's everywhere with my love

watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there

there beneath the blue suburban skies

the rain exploded with a mighty crash

and we was hard pressed to find a smile

well you know i nearly broke down and died

we’ve been travelling for a long time and we finally finished here

ahh, look at all the lonely people

there’s no one left at home, and I believe I’m gonna rain

somedays I don't, I don't believe that you are mine

and in the middle of the celebrations I break down

a lonely man who's in the middle of something

a love that should have lasted years

who in the world can be right, all the right time

once there was a way to get back home

love was such an easy game to play

day after day, alone on the hill

leaving the note that she hoped would say more

some day you'll know I was the one

now what can be done for you

i don't know why you say goodbye

all of the clocks have run down, time's at an end

friday night arrives without a suitcase

and I'm still stranded, wondering why

the drachma's very weak, but everyone's still trading

far away my lover sings a lonely song

so sad so sad sometimes she feels so sad

but as for me, i still remember how it was before

something inside of me says the bad news isn't so

i'm waiting, can’t you see me, I’m waiting

why do you fight that feeling in your heart

why leave me standing here, let me know the way

you will always be holding, holding my heart in your hand

people are ready to forgive a few mistakes

take a sad song and make it better

the swan is gliding above the ocean

we could stand on top of a mountain with our flag unfurled

we can cure each others sorrow

you want a love to last forever

when I lay me down will my lover love me still

i hope it's never too late

- - Paul McCartney

#please remember these are just some emotions he imagined one lazy afternoon in a cupboard - they're not real #you mustn't think his 500 song quilt of waiting and missing and confused yearning *means* anything #I drafted this last year for Paul's 80th but then I forgot about it #he has written a lot of very beautiful things and I love him #there are about 65 songs here - there were going to be 80 but that feels a bit arbitrary now it's not a birthday #I haven't double checked that they're all different songs #they were meant to be but I kept losing track of which songs were actually all the same song - the same song being little lamb dragon fly #paul mccartney #mclennon #lyrics #the beatles #[]

Let’s get this scurvy started!!1!

(/The scurvy song P!nk sang for a SpongeBob special, Terror!edition)

(For my @theterrorbingo prompt square “there will be poems.”)

#this song has lived in my head since I first heard it as a kid to the point that #as I was watching the terror I’d use what few lyrics I still remembered to discern which characters had scurvy #like ‘damn his gums are black and his teeth are falling out. this is just like P!nk said 😔’ #james fitzjames #thomas jopson #harry peglar #billy gibson #george hodgson #john morfin #(<—I know he had lead poisoning not scurvy but his scenes were the only ones that fit the lines) #the terror bingo #the terror amv #the terror

The duality of man is when you love Hadestown so much that you hate Hadestown

#me being me #idk something something show getting generic #like it’s still a good show but a good show and 4/5 and 8/10 rating for a show such as hadestown is shameful #I do think that hadestown should hit like a life changing event that made me fall in love with it #not like some generic Broadway/WE show that you see and vaguely remember liking a year after #and like it’s kinda sad to understand that it doesn’t quite hit like this now #either because of acting choices of some folks (which tbh not fully their fault and I wrote a post about it) #either because Anaïs decides to make a lyric change which is like the most obvious downgrade #that it makes me think ‘oh the show thinks I’m stupid’ #instead of idk making the one change people have been complaining for years #like even fuck it just idk leave what works working #idk I feel like seeing WE made me thinking about it more #and I did enjoy the show a lot and I had fun #but also I keep thinking how some small bits didn’t fit and the show didn’t hit as it should #which makes me feel of people who will experience ht for the first time and might not understand the show’s full impact like I did #idk just thoughts

tbh I think I’d be a lot more entertained by the way Wish is getting canned if I thought Disney was actually going to learn anything from it. like ‘maybe 2D animation is still a worthwhile medium’, or ‘maybe we shouldn’t be scrapping almost-finished projects the studios we keep buying are working on’, or even ‘maybe it’s time to start putting more effort into the thing that made us famous in the first place instead of continually deprioritising that in favour of Star Wars and the MCU’. but instead I’m like 99% sure they’re gonna twist it into ‘movies with BIPOC leads don’t sell’ and go right back to making movies about rich blondes. as usual

#urusai majou #ultimately I think ‘disney is currently owned by a guy who hates animation’ is the Entire problem here but w/e #hnnnnrgh I wanted wish to be good so bad you guise. I was so excited when the trailer dropped #I remember when the internet was ragging on her dress not being puffy enough and I was like Holy Shit An Actual Cotehardie And Surcote #incidentally I don’t think the more bad-faith criticisms are gonna help either #lyrics that sound suspiciously like they were written by ai is a valid concern. ‘there’s no romantic subplot’ is not #but no bookie in the world would take bets on which one disney’s more likely to listen to #le sigh

*grits teeth* I've got a song stuck in my head from my Narnia days, but I can't remember the name or the singer (and I vaguely remember that the name was something completely unrelated to the lyrics), and the lyrics I remember are generic enough that googling them pulls up a lot of stuff that isn't the song in question. it was popular enough that it once came on in a Borders in Yakima and I almost burst into tears in the middle of the store, but that's not useful in trying to actually identify it. it's not from any of the official Narnia albums, it's just one that was really closely identified with Narnia back in the day, which means late '00s. this is making me nuts.

#the lyrics I do remember are 'today I turned and walked away / I'm never coming back this way / I've got my things I'm here to stay' #which are REALLY REALLY GENERIC #your girl #I did open up itunes for the first time in LITERALLY YEARS trying to find it but unfortunately that didn't help either #on the other hand I did find a bunch of music I'd forgotten about so I'm listening to it for the first time in years #on spotify tho so I can find it again lol

well… on the bright side cowboy carter will be getting that aoty

#i blame MIDnights winning that grammy so now she thinks that’s what we wanna hear #it sounds like an ai generated version of being funny in a foreign language which. given the subject matter is very funny #favorite lyric: matty healy telling lucy dacus he’s going to kill himself #i fully gasp laughed #but in all seriousness fave song is so long london #‘you swore that you loved me but where were the clues i died on the alter waiting for the proof’ she remembered how to lock in #also but daddy i love him but even before listening i knew that was gonna be a banger #music #soju shut up

Psst. Hey.

Stop expecting yourself to remember stuff.

Just. Just write it down. No you will not remember, certainly not in 6 months time. Just. Write the thing down. Future you will appreciate it.

#water world #Anemone (she/they) #plurality #fibromyalgia #this post is about system admin + amnesia but also brain fog #and any other reason you might struggle 2 remember things #even silly things like which song the lyrics on a backup of a profile came from! #but also more importantly things!! like who is in a subsystem #or which alter a sign off correlates to! #you don't have to share everything for it to be worth writing down i promise

oh shoot I forgot I drew these once discussing a bandAU in the Hermes discord server with Charon being a gutural singer and having a heavy metal band with the chthonic brothers

purely self indulgent, I just wanted to see human Charon in a spiky leather jacket looking all badass and whatnot

#those are the actual lyrics from a song but i cant remember which one #it's not the type of music Hermes is used to but he still finds it alluring #bandAU #? #charmes #charon #hermes #hades game #fun AU

Hello, do you think is possible that we will get a FITF live album? Louis and the band sound so good on tour.

they doooo! I love Steve's arrangements and additions to the songs so much! Honestly I have no idea; on the one hand it seems like Louis might be more focused on moving towards new stuff, like we are still in FITF mode but by the time it came out he had had it forever and now he's well into LT3 and probably feeling more excited about those new songs and sounds; on the other hand he is very good at working the industry stuff and all the angles and it's basically free money, right? He has said FITF was a further step towards the sound he wants most rather than the finish line, so it's possible that as happened with Walls as he works more on the new one he is getting less enthused about sharing the old stuff; but I think adding Steve's arrangements and just moving away from some of the songs seems to have lessened that this time around, so maybe that isn't a factor. Here's the thing though: the only way it would happen or make sense I think would be if it was recorded pretty recently, like one of the UK shows; the show was still being tweaked and gelled and cooking until then. But if they wanted to make vinyl (and surely they would? fancy double vinyl of live albums is SUCH a thing), that is very very long process of waiting around these days. First you have to get lacquers made (this is the physical thing that the recording is cut into that all the records are duplicates of- if you want quality it has to be more or less handmade by an artisan) but one of the two places left in the world that made those burnt to the ground in 2020 so there's a super long wait time on that. Then it just has to get made; but there are basically ten large scale factories left (again, in the WORLD) that press records so that also has a very long wait time... so it would take forever and the thing is I think we're getting LT3 in the late fall/ early winter (I bet he's using this month to finish it up so it can begin this lengthy process). So I kind of don't think so, like I guess they could do a CD/ cassette/ digital only in late spring and make so much money, and it would be fun, but who knows. Either way, I just hope Louis has Steve do some production work on LT3, I like his sounds and ideas a lot, and that he keeps him around to do his tours forever!

#could I have just said it takes a while to make records I GUESS #but maybe people are interested! #IN MY DAY *totters up on a creaky walker* you could just be like I wanna make a record of my band #and send off $500 and a mastered recording and 6 weeks later get a couple boxes of 7's in the mail #SIGHHHH #this planning a year in advance is such a bummer I bet Louis would much rather get to write the songs and share them #and by a year later be onto whole new ones #it's no wonder he doesn't remember the lyrics by the time it's time to tour them he's ages past those ones #fitf live #vinyl pressing #steve durham #is the drummer but also the tour musical director #I've always had an embarrassing thing for drummers and I genuinely do not have a thing for steve because I am past that tyvm #but every time I rave about him I do side eye myself like is this correct or are you just in drummer groupie mode #anyway he looks just like- I kid you not- a drummer I have uh #what #had a Thing With let us say #once upon a time #but honestly I really do just like his arrangements musically I think he seems kind of annoying personally #and that tattoo artist was his friend and that guy seemed like a DOUCHE which made me even more skeptical #anyway enjoy the personal TMI corner GOTTA GO BYE

Watching Kaori develop into the current most dominant women’s skater in the field has been incredible.

#i feel like such a hag do my fellow fossils remember when she used to be called unrefined #and people would say she’d never make it big because she was ‘sloppy’ and didn’t have ultra c elements and wasn’t doing stereotypically- #lyrical programs but EYE believed in her #and now look #and she still has room for improved cause girl that flip is not a flip but fixing that is going to take time 😭 #which once again proves my point every skater no matter how great they are can still improve themselves #figure skating #kaori sakamoto #grand prix final #gpf 2023 #(why did tumblr double the tags I swear I did not do this myself)
