At this point I hope SOTB takes the top spot on Friday as a small redemption for what happened to her, even if it benefits Taylor more.

not really, but she could always make a backup copy on a second disc.

Here's what Taylor said about the song: https://www.nationalworld.com/news/people/taylor-swift-snow-on-the-beach-meaning-featuring-lana-del-rey-3877175 I think it's that beautiful feeling when you see falling snow (which doesn't happen so often in some areas), and when you're at the same time on the beach, it's somehow extra special.

Maybe I'm just one of a few, but I still think the song is kind of beautiful. What some describe as a "muffled sound" fits quite well with what I imagine when I listen to it: a quiet winter day lonely on the beach, it's cloudy and a bit darker maybe even foggy, just before it snows from the sky. It's just a beautiful atmosphere that the song tries to reproduce. And when it says "it's coming down, it's coming down" in the outro at the end, you can literally feel the onset of snowfall. This beautiful feeling that you have at it, a song has never expressed so properly.

Our expectations were just too high. Taylor is an alpha female and she'll never allow other females to dominate her or be on the same level as her, even if they are more talented.

I've listened through it several times now, is Lana's role really that small? In some parts it's hard to distinguish Taylor's voice from Lana's, but I think she has more than just a background voice. The song seems quite beautiful after all.

Fans are so shocked (or incurious?) that the Lanapedia page still doesn't have the lyrics.

Taylor:

Many people will be disappointed, I think we are not the only ones. I don't know how many pre-ordered the album just because of the collab. Taylor has tricked everyone and she's going to pay for it. I also don't believe she's a Lana fan. She's only doing and saying things for business reasons, that's why she is where she is.

the SOTB thread is snows of yesteryear, welcome back good old ldr9 pre-pre-release

imagine she could get a grammy for it according to the new rules

at least this time "soon" would mean only a few days

no self-deception, of course we will all listen to SOTB first

DBJAG, it's also one of my favorite songs!

Props to Taylor for taking on these guys!

is this the same?

I can also imagine this: Taylor: "All tracks on Midnights should have less than 4 minutes" Lana: "You know that I'm singing?"

A look at the song registry shows that a release may have been attempted several times, and a few months ago it was fully available on Spotify for a few days via an mysterious account named "Del". Two songs from the album are still visible. So I'm not giving up hope. 🤞

yes we won!

that would be something for the Gaylors

I just realized that these are two different guys, one with a longer beard and one with a shorter. So confusing.
