    Holiday sounds promising, only thing I don't like is the pre-chorus 'cause I think it would sound better if it had more words in it.
    But damn, these outtakes from L+F sound basic af (production wise), Absent Love is the one that sounds the most generic.
    Eternity (Final) was cute but the other version (even if it's a remix) was far better lmao
    Now, leak When You Take Away Control because that's all we need

    I just remembered that post on her Honeymoon account where she writes about pink champagne and purple rain.
    Was that taken from an early poem? Or a song that didn't make it on the album?
    In any case she re-used that phrase on LMLYLAW now.

    It's beautiful but a bit underwhelming. It really sounds though like this will be the bridge track from NFR to COCC so I'm not worried. 

    I don't like the abrupt ending but I'm just going to hope it leads into the next track on the album wherever its placement is.

    currently thinking of one girl in particular and listening to this masterpiece (like the simp i am); it's truly something else if you have someone in mind this truly came from lana's heart you could just tell from the way she sings the chorus and the bridge. it's so beautiful to hear

    losing him was BLUE like I've never known 
    missing him was DARK GREY all alone 
    forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met 
    but loving him was RED

    Honestly I was never a Taylor fan before this album, but this album is truly a masterpiece in both writing and production. Truly the best album so far of 2020

    my best friend is a gaylor so she told me about it the fact that she bought lingerie for herself before dianna's birthday party says it all
    edit: also that whole wonderland mess when taylor had a song called wonderland because of dianna's alice in wonderland tattoo and dianna removed it not long after

    We have established that folklore is the best album released this year so far, right?

    I'm 100% a Kaylor and she's either bi or gay and hires beards.
    Been diving into this for 3 weeks now and I'm fully convinced

    So it's been four weeks since folklore was released and I can totally say that this is my favourite Taylor Swift album. I hope she keeps exploring this genre and sounds over her next two eras. I'm asking for too much dddd.

    The title track of Honeymoon!
     
    I feel like people don’t really talk about it that much nowadays and when it came out I remember people dismissed it as “boring” because it was “slow” and “sparse”  but I think it’s a song where her vocals shine and her extra-layered harmonies in the chorus paired with the sweeping strings and plucked guitar chords are so atmospheric! Musical heaven and masterful lyricism at its finest. I think it’s definitely one of her top 5 best songs of all time and that whole record is a career highlight!

    24 would be so much higher rated in this fandom if she'd performed it live I think. That bridge is EVERYTHING

    Boy oh boy do I have a response to this topic   Since this will probably be quite long I'll try to format it appropriately and not just have it as a huge wall of text!
     
    Oh Say Can You See
    I know the AKA album gets a lot of love in general, but I've seen a lot of people dismiss this track as useless and filler - I won't have it! Good lord, this song is divine. It's folk meets early Lana meets a Halloween edition of the Animal Crossing soundtrack. I know that's a weird and strangely specific mixture of references, but that's the only way I can describe it. It's so peaceful but so deeply melancholic and longing; The nighttime is almost ours. I can't even articulate what this song makes me feel. It's too magical to listen to on a regular basis, but it holds such a special place in my heart and I wish more people connected with this song the way I do. It's a beautiful, sad, quiet night translated into a 4-minute track.
     
    Come When You Call Me America
    Kind of like Oh Say Can You See, this song has a unique feel to it. It's one of Lana's weirder tracks - it's light and airy but jazzy and trip-hop-esque. It reminds me of a grown-up version of something from the Nights: Journey of Dreams soundtrack (yes, as you can tell, I'm big on video game soundtracks hahaha). It sounds the way silk feels. Maybe this song doesn't exactly count as underrated because it does have somewhat of a niche appeal, but I'm bringing it up because it's very beautiful, a little surreal and definitely one of my favourites that I never ever see mentioned!
     
    Hope Is A Dangerous Thing
    I'm forever seeing this at the bottom of people's NFR rankings and I guess I understand why - it's sparse, a pure piano ballad, pretty long and definitely quite a downer. Still, I feel that a lot of fans under-appreciate the lyrical power of this song; it's some of Lana's best writing to date. Lana has a lot of great lyrics but Hope is her at her most complex and most raw; there's something really special about a song that's so verbose yet still so raw and open and vulnerable. I probably sound super pretentious so pls feel free to call me a dickhead if it's appropriate   but lines like "Spilling my guts with the Bowery bums is the only love I've ever known" and "Shaking my ass is the only thing that's got this black narcissist off my back" really capture the loneliness and confusion of alcohol addiction for me (I've been an alcoholic for 4 years); "Hello, it's the most famous woman you know on the iPad / Calling from beyond the grave I just want to say hi, Dad" gets a lot of clownery online, but for me it's a heartbreaking lyric that shows the duality of fame and misery, as well as how hard it is to keep in touch with family and friends when going through a depression because it's easy to feel like a dead man walking; "A gatekeeper carelessly dropping the keys on my nights off" is a lyric so beautiful and touching yet so perfectly obscure that I don't even want to go into the million different meanings I've assigned to it! There's a lot of ways to convey meaning in a song - sometimes just a dope ass instrumental can do the talking - but this song is an example of how beautiful, well thought out, poetic lyrics can really speak to an audience. And also, did she lie? Hope really is a dangerous thing!
     
    Sad Girl
    There are soooo many things that make this song great. Among them is Lana's "sad but won't not fuck you the fuck up" attitude, but my favourite thing is that the instruments in this song are used remarkably well. While I love NFR (honestly I really really really do), this song demonstrates exactly why it hasn't knocked Ultraviolence off the top spot for me; there's some sonic depth and a constant sense of progression going on that's lacking in quite a lot of NFR cuts. It's jazzy, bluesy and it has so much to look forward to - I'm always excited to hear that Spanish-influenced guitar kick in during the second verse, then of course there's the glorious bridge. I know Lana fans love a sing-song moment, so why do I not hear more fans talking about how much they enjoy belting out "Watch what you say to meeeeee, careful who you're talking tooo!"? It's lost on me. This song deserves way more love than it gets and I know for sure it would sound incredible live, so I'm v v v v sad she hasn't performed it before. 
     
    Gramma
    Another AKA song that doesn't get a lot of love - this one is always getting knocked out first or second in AKA Survivor games. Still, it's one of my favourites and I think it's really underrated because of the unique vibe it possesses: it's cheeky, bratty, fun, a little girly and definitely twisted. I know Lana's described this song as having an innocent meaning in prior interviews, but honestly? I'm not buying it! This song is undoubtedly naughty in a way that's SO wrong only Lizzy-era Lana could get away with it. Lana is (or rather was) so good at the whole ~feigning innocence roleplay~ thing. Maybe I love this song so much because I was a messed up kid - without being too TMI, this song reminds me of being a young teen and the early sexual experiences I had and how I knew it was bad but it also so wrong it's right, when I would sneak out of my own Grandma's house to do bad and stupid things, and all the feelings of excitement and wonder I had along with the feelings of fear, confusion, guilt, abuse and sadness. This song couples a playful cheery beat with ever-so-slightly sexually suggestive lyrics ("All I wanna do is play") and then some moments of darkness ("I don't wanna think I'm bad, Gramma") to create this strange, sinister atmosphere that's so representative of being essentially still a little girl taking on the big, exciting, scary, wonderful, terrible adult world - especially where men are involved. It also touches on that feeling of attention addiction: "I'm in love with everyone and I don't wanna think I'm wrong just for feelin' pretty" and "I wanna be the whole world's girl Gramma". There's a fine line between suggestive and outright controversial, and Lana, I believe, is just about on the 'suggestive' side - if anything my reading of this song could well be controversial! Still, there's some unbelievable skill in managing to write about such a topic in a way that's a little dark but still tongue-in-cheek without it coming across as mocking or exploitative. I really love this song and I honestly feel it stands out in her discography.
     
    In Wendy, More Mountains, There Is Nothing To Be Sorry About
    As a fanbase we tend to neglect a lot of Lana's more singer-songwriter-y type stuff, but these songs right here...... goddamn. She has a TONNE of folksy gems, but these are some of my favourites and I never EVER hear them mentioned. More Mountains is bleak and existential; In Wendy is sweet and a little blue; There Is Nothing To Be Sorry About is legitimately devastating and I genuinely can't listen to it without crying. "Remember me the way I was six months ago"... nahhhh man I just    A lot of Lana fans actually haven't heard these songs; this is your sign to GO AND LISTEN TO THEM! I think the only reason these songs are so underrated is because so many people completely forget about them, but wow, they take my breath away.
     
    Ok sorry for the huge post LOL I have a lot of feelings ok

    sorry if this thread is getting off topic, but this is an incredibly ignorant stance to take. he's been a cop for a long time. he's had plenty of time to change his mind and he knows exactly what he's doing. and so does she. this isn't me attacking her. but i think celebrities need to be held accountable just as much as regular people do.

    this song kind of sounds like it might have been meant for someone else? just bc her vocals are so low it almost sounds like backing

    It reminds me of Roll With Me in that sense. I think those two songs were some sort of concept demo or recorded for another purpose than a final song x

    I'm extremely excited for the new record based on the snippets, but I'm also afraid by the fact that her boyfriend is gonna produce part of it
     
    Karma was a bop tho
