#it started with the maroon and lavender haze lyrics because it’s one of my favourite parallels

if there's one thing that i'd like to share with you guys is that i love taylor swift. it's so silly that i edited my photo onto the the album cover of midnights but whatever.

i've been listening to midnights over the past couple of weeks and i have to say that it's one of my favourites besides red, reputation and evermore.

for this entry i'd like to share with you about my personal opinions on each song in the album. i'm not going to rank my favourites because that's way too difficult. please don't come for me though if you disagree with it because i do feel that each song is great.

lavender haze: i have nothing much to say about this song just that i love the beat of it and it's a song that i will dance to each time it's being played.

maroon: you have no idea how blown away i was with the lyrics of this song. her use of colours but what amazes me is that she never use the word red in here but other shades of it such as burgundy, maroon and scarlet. this to me is a masterpiece.

anti-hero: i'm not gonna lie that this was an instant favourite upon the first listen. abit too overplayed but it is a good song!

4. snow on the beach: many said that they don't quite like this one but i personally love it and yes i am mad that i barely got to hear lana in here but i still love the song.

5. you're on your own, kid: this one i another one that i really love. it grew on me after awhile and it took me awhile to really realise that the song is more about being there for yourself although the bridge of it suits so well on a reel showcasing friendships.

6. midnight rain: i don't have much opinions about this just that this song only reminds me on how taytay is such a lyrical genius.

7. question...?: just like midnight rain, i don't have much opinions on this and to me i'll bop to this song if it plays but this wouldn't be my first choice.

8. vigilante shit: now this....this song have a way of making me feel like i can rule the world for some reason. love love love it! it was on replay throughout my train ride home from work during one particular night.

9. bejeweled: it's a cute one! i'm a sucker for this one because i'll do that tiktok choreo whenever it starts to play :D

10. labyrinth: this is not my favourite but the vibe of this song keeps me calm.

11. karma: i really love this one! "karma is my boyfriend" is my favourite line and this one will be one i will definitely dance to.

12. sweet nothing: if there's gonna be a ranking, this will actually be at the bottom or maybe i haven't listen to it enough to fully appreciate it. although...i don't skip it.

13. mastermind: i feel like i will need to listen to it more only because i have to check what song is playing when the intro starts but other than that, i feel like this can be in my top 5 one day.

Hi! Yes the Mayhem's are posted by Taylornation if you don't have TikTok! What are your opinions on the rest of the tracklist? What titles stick out to you or you're most excited for? Any predictions and can I send you some of mine? I'm so excited for this album! I can barely pick which ones. Usually my sister and I pick a few but we decided to each have six that we picked..it somehow worked out that she liked all the even numbers and I liked the odd ones! Maybe Midnight Rain will be the one we share though! Like we split up the ones that we knew would be explicit and would decide when we heard the names. Like I knew I probably wanted track 1 anyway cuz it's the opener..but she liked Maroon a lot. I definitely kinda see these as a pair. Then we got Vigilante Shit which was more her style like rep era..so I got Question. That left 4 and 11...Karma seemed somewhat similar to Vigilante maybe so I took that one and also my name starts with a K! Then track 4..she loves Lana Del Rey so it worked out! For the rest, I kinda knew I wanted Anti-hero cuz I love number 3..and she said I could have number 5. I also usually like track 9s. We haven't really worked out the rest yet lol but we might just stick with it. Haha sorry if this doesn't make sense..I just thought it was funny and interesting.

based on the titles alone the ones that stand out to me most as ones i'm curious to hear are you're on your own kid, vigilante shit and mastermind. i feel like lavender haze, midnight rain and sweet nothing could be favourites of mine, maybe because they all have soft vibes. vigilante shit and karma definitely feel like they'll be reputation-esque, although i'm curious whether that will be reflected in the sound or just the lyrics/mood. it's interesting how two of the descriptions she's given so far have been for romantic songs but most of the other titles don't immediately shout romance so i feel like that's probably a slightly skewed representation of the overall album feel.

that's so fun how you and your sister share out your picks, it will be interesting to see whether they match up with your actual favourites! i'd love to hear any of your predictions!
