Taylor Swift - folklore (July 24, 2020) Album • Page 68

What...I just...what does that person listen to? Exclusively free jazz made by big bands?

 

Her lower range on Cardigan is so good

 

its nice to hear from ya, jake!!!

 

nah. they have decent taste and mostly listen to records both you and i love. but they explained it more as preferring tempo/key/time sig. changes that throw you a bit more than layers. which... i guess i get the argument while fully disagreeing haha

 

Ironic that this is the first album I can think of from her that has a key change...

 

lol on last.fm the song titles are showing up like the sarcastic sponge bob meme.. outside of exile

 

I'm gonna be here on Tuesday and it's gonna be misty and in the high 50s and I might never leave and just go into eternity listening to this record on repeat for ever and ever.

 

It already happened

 

Justin and Taylor sound so good together. Gimme more songs like this, please.

 

my bad take is that "exile" is my least favorite song here. it's astonishingly beautiful though

 

"Love Story" tho

 

YES! Isn't there a key change at the last chorus?? I couldn't remember what song it was but I knew there was another Tswift key change

 

"love story" has a key change yes. i remember "getaway car" having a key change but i'm not stopping folklore to doublecheck

 

yeah after the bridge she does one soft chorus then modulates into the final big chorus

a moment of pure ecstasy

 

Watch out for birds. And Willem Dafoe.

 

Now that we got this dream album, I hope one day we see her rock album (like the 1989 tour version of WANEGBT)

 

The piano in Seven makes me want to cry

 

the outro of "the last great american dynasty" is so wondeful

I had a marvelous tiiiiiiiiiime

 

I love the storytelling on this album, and "last great american dynasty" is such a good example of it.

 

so much for summer love and saying "us"
CAUSE YOU WEREN'T MIIIINE TO LOOOOSE
YOU WEREN'T MIIIIINE TO LOOOOOSE

 

AH! Good call. I figured I was missing one/some.

 

Still loving this, can’t wait to listen on nice headphones. Grabbed the in the trees vinyl

 

it’s even better on a nice set of headphones imo

 

I've never been a fan of Taylor Swift's music, but always recognized her talent. Nothing against her, I'm just not a huge pop music fan. I thought her Netflix documentary was pretty great, and it kind of blew me away to watch her in real time write the hook to such a huge hit like it was nothing. (Sorry, I can't remember which song it is). So, yeah, I've always thought she was a really admirable example of an artist who had a great deal of control over her sound and career trajectory.

And, that doesn't even come close to her damn near super human maturity level and business acumen. I mean, Jesus Christ, her level of restraint during the Kanye VMA fiasco was kind of incredible. What kid has that level of self control? It wasn't until the documentary where I realized just how young she was when she had to deal with that. And the body image issues she dealt with. And all the other bullshit that came with her being so famous. She's quite the inspiration.

But, yeah, since The National is my favorite band, I definitely wanted to check this album out. Listened to it and I think it's pretty great. She can basically do whatever she wants musically. Beyond impressive.
