#nbnc cowboy like me closure evermore

[my-wildflwr]

my most favorite comment people try to make about taylor’s music is that it all sounds the same. any mildly successful artist must have at least some variety in their music if they want to stay successful. taylor is known for moving from genre to genre. it’s ok if you dont like her music but saying all her songs are bubblegum pop is so funny

[fuck-sewingmachines]

Listening to evermore for the first time on vinyl in a while, and I'm curious

Taylor doesn't even know what she did when she released Willow and and Gold Rush and Cowboy Like Me and Long Story Short and Closure and Evermore (Song) and and and and like it means the world to me and the vision behind the project is so clear. Not to be perasocial but I definitely think she was working through some things out even just theorectical fears and stretching those creative muscles. (most clearly NBNC)

She put narcotics in those songs (affectionate)

I don’t pretend to know what she was thinking or feeling when she wrote the album but kind of like Midnights, the common theme(s) became clear with the benefit of hindsight.

NBNC is sisters with Florida!!! And cousins with “my husband is cheating, I want to kill him” and—

[whenthegoldrays]

willow is... october. november maybe. it’s autumn it’s bending in the wind but it’s also crisp, sharp like the cold water of a stream.

champagne problems is november, it’s thanksgiving and the very beginning of december. the first snow of the year falling on the train tracks.

gold rush is september. it’s walks on the beach under the cool sun of early autumn. it’s cold enough for a sweater but still warm enough to walk barefoot on wooden floors.

ttds is the thick of december, a hard freeze, crunchy snow that stops traffic and shivering under an old quilt that could never quite warm you up.

tolerate it is february, long dismal bitter february when all the neighbors have left town for warmer weather and it feels like your house is the only one still inhabited.

nbnc is the decay of late december, quiet backwoods interrupted by tramping boots and the sound of a motorboat on the lake.

happiness is the same dismal february, a suitcase packed slowly and set by the front door. it’s the tree with a heart carved around two names, standing bare and dying in the backyard.

dorothea is mid december, just before the unexpected hard freeze hits. the sun is shining through the branches of the half-naked trees as a queue forms outside the tiny movie theater in town.

coney island is december 15th. the day is gray and bleak and you sit on a bench with a cocoa that’s grown cold. half a birthday cake sits forgotten in the freezer.

ivy is frost-covered january, icicles that grow on the eaves of a stone house and a fireplace seen through the window. it’s pawing away at the snow in the garden and finding the herbs still surviving underneath.

cowboy like me is december, lush green and gold. glitter and light in a holiday resort but quiet shivering in the dark empty courtyard beyond the ballroom’s glass doors.

long story short is the 28th of september. it’s a day of bright clear sunlight and a sharp wind that makes the aspen trees quiver.

marjorie is november, amber skies and flickering front porch lights and walking through the city in the brisk air. but it’s also november, 20 years ago, moonlit swims and cream soda in the car with the windows down on the highway.

closure isn’t as well-defined — it’s more of a sharp abstraction vaguely resembling february.

evermore is, well, gray november and december. it’s walks in the forest with wet leaves underfoot and it’s deep dark water under a gloomy sky.

rwylm is the end of december, dark setting in at 5pm and the year turning to dust under your fingertips.

ittg is a cloudless day in the first week of either january or march, cold air sweeping through open windows and filling your lungs. it’s a moment of brilliant, liberating clarity.

evermore songs as tlh characters/ships

I saw someone do this for Folklore and Evermore's my favourite album, so...

sorry nbnc isn't included i just had no idea what to do with it lol

willow -> thomas @ alastair

Wait for the signal and I'll meet you after dark Show me the places where the others gave you scars Now this is an open-shut case Guess I should've known from the look on your face Every bait and switch was a work of art

champagne problems -> james @ cordelia + matthew

[He'll] patch up your tapestry that I shred And hold your hand while dancing Never leave you standing Crestfallen on the landing With champagne problems

gold rush -> matthew

What must it be like To grow up that beautiful? With your hair falling into place like dominoes My mind turns your life into folklore I can't dare to dream about you anymore At dinner parties Won't call you out on your contrarian shit And the coastal town We never found will never See a love as pure as it

tis the damn season -> anna @ ari

Sleep in half the day just for old times' sake I won't ask you to wait if you don't ask me to stay So I'll go back to L.A. and the so-called friends Who'll write books about me, if I ever make it And wonder about the only soul who can tell which smiles I'm fakin' And the heart I know I'm breakin' is my own

tolerate it -> alastair @ charles

honestly this one is too fitting it was so hard to choose a quote but--

I greet you with a battle hero's welcome I take your indiscretions all in good fun I sit and listen, I polish plates until they gleam and glisten You're so much older and wiser and I...

happiness -> matthew @ cordelia

After giving you the best I had Tell me what to give after that All you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness You haven't met the new me yet And I think [he'll] give you that

dorothea -> ari @ anna

It's never too late To come back to my side The stars in your eyes Shined brighter in Tupelo And if you're ever tired of being known For who you know You know, you'll always know me

coney island -> james @ cordelia

Did I close my fist around something delicate? Did I shatter you? And I'm sitting on a bench in Coney Island Wondering, "Where did my baby go?" The fast times, the bright lights, the merry-go Sorry for not making you my centerfold

ivy -> alastair @ thomas while in paris

Oh, goddamn My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand Taking mine, but it's been promised to another Oh, I can't Stop you putting roots in my dreamland My house of stone, your ivy grows And now I'm covered in you

cowboy like me -> ari @ anna

And the skeletons in both our closets Plotted hard to mess this up And the old men that I've swindled Really did believe I was the one And the ladies lunching have their stories about When you passed through town But that was all before I locked it down

long story short -> matthew

I always felt I must look better in the rear view Missing me At the golden gates they once held the keys to When I dropped my sword I threw it in the bushes and knocked on your door And we live in peace But if someone comes at us This time, I'm ready

marjorie -> grace @ christopher (😭)

I should've asked you questions I should've asked you how to be Asked you to write it down for me Should've kept every grocery store receipt 'Cause every scrap of you would be taken from me Watched as you signed your name Marjorie All your closets of backlogged dreams And how you left them all to me

closure -> alastair @ charles after the end of chog

Yes, I got your letter Yes, I'm doing better It cut deep to know ya Right to the bone Yes, I got your letter Yes, I'm doing better I know that it's over I don't need your closure

evermore -> cordelia @ james

And I was catching my breath Floors of a cabin creaking under my step And I couldn't be sure I had a feeling so peculiar This pain wouldn't be for Evermore

right where you left me -> grace

I stayed there Dust collected on my pinned-up hair They expected me to find somewhere Some perspective, but I sat and stared

it's time to go -> matthew at the end of chot

Sometimes giving up is the strong thing Sometimes to run is the brave thing Sometimes walking out is the one thing That will find you the right thing That will find you the right thing And you know in your soul And you know in your soul When it's time to go

For the most part, listening to evermore is like being wrapped up in a thick, handwoven blanket, sitting by the fireplace with a hot drink in your hands, and wondering why so many good things have to end. but then “no body, no crime” comes on and you evily smirk at the wild, blazing embers before you that are burning your blood soaked clothes and think, “oh yeah, that’s why”

evermore!!

the first song from this album I heard: willow

do I own the album?: not physically

my favorite song: champagne problems/nbnc/cowboy like me

my least favorite song: coney island or closure SORRY SORRY SORRY

a song I didn’t like at first, but now do: 'tis the damn season

a song I used to like, but now don’t: i can't think of anything, most of my first opinions of the album still stay except for some songs that i like more

my favorite lyric: literally the whole champagne problems bridge. sometimes i skip the whole song to the bridge just to listen to this on repeat <3 One for the money, two for the show // I never was ready so I watch you go // Sometimes you just don't know the answer //'Til someone's on their knees and asks you // "She would've made such a lovely bride // What a shame she's fucked in the head," they said // But you'll find the real thing instead // She'll patch up your tapestry that I shred (champagne problems)

overall rating out of 10: 8

send me an album
