All (all) I want is a music video for My Tears Ricochet that goes like this: During the first oohs, the screen is still black, then as the second oohs begin we see straight down onto Taylor arms crossed and in a coffin (see LWYMMD but all pretty and dressed in white) surrounded by like 4 or 5 people dressed in 50s or earlier style clothing. One of them is the Man (not like the song but the Man for the purposes of the video.) We pan up from the coffin and see that one of the people lined up around the coffin is also Taylor dressed exactly the same. She’s staring at the coffin, singing, “we gather here, we line up weeping in a sunlit room...” etc. When we get to “even on my worst day...” she’s separated from the people still lined up and is walking around the coffin looking in, looking out the window at a gray (Safe and Sound) world, finally back at the people lined up who are crying and seem to not see her. Maybe the Man is keeping it together but we can tell he’s starting to cry. She walks up, touches his face, looks kind of confused, and then he, and all the other people walk out of the room suddenly. They’re taking the coffin out. Taylor follows them.

They’re walking down a hill to the cemetery. She’s sort of running after them, confused but not distraught, like she knows what’s going on but doesn’t know what the people are doing. The Man is the last in the line. She grabs his shoulder, yells at him, he can’t hear or see her. She continues to sing as they lower the coffin, seeming more angry/hurt at the Man than anything else. She’s standing in front of him, he’s looking through her, she’s crying, by the time we get to “why are you at the wake” ugly crying. “Cursing my name, wishing I stayed, look at how my tears ricochet” she shoves him and he actually falls backward. She falls forward, comes back up in the house again but it’s empty. The next verse and chorus is her walking around the house in which the funeral was held, looking at pictures and remembering all that had happened there between them as we see the house visably aging and decaying around her. She stays the same. Video continues in this fashion and right at the end we come back to where she was buried. The Man is standing there at the grave alone, facing away from the camera. She walks up and stands next to him. It goes black.

I love angst.

My Tears Ricochet by Taylor Swift

I love hearing our girl Taylor sing but hear me out- what if, at the tour, instead of singing All Too Well, she played the guitar and the audience sang it.

my dash is full of everyone being smart and analysing folklore but my brain is still just like 'Taylor Swift. Album. Music Go Beep Boop Sing Song. Ears Enjoy It. Emotions Are Felt. Taylor Swift Album We Actually Have Taylor Swift Album. Taylor Swift'

“But I knew you’d linger like a tattoo kiss, I knew you’d haunt all of my what-ifs, the smell of smoke would hang around this long- ‘cause I knew everything when I was young- I knew I’d curse you for the longest time, chasing shadows in the grocery line, I knew you’d miss me once the thrill expired, and you’d be standing in my front porch light”
