Totes kidding. Click bait for sure.
Anyway, something is bugging me about her song Lover.
It reminds me of an old song, or an older style, or something. It's like I heard this song before or style of song before. Does anyone else think this? Tori Amos or Fiona Apple is coming to mind. It's bugging me, y'all.

It was a near certainty that you and I would be in agreement on this point.

Re: Taylor Swift appreciation thread
Plenty to not like about her, buuuuut she can write a hook as Mimi noted above. I also appreciated the fact that she came out in support of dem candidates in a fairly substantive way by endorsing D candidates in a midterm election. On brand would be her talking about how unfair things are for LGBTQ kids because a few of her dancers are gay or just that Trump doesn't empower women, so this was surprisingly substantive.
I think she's a lot less bad than we think she is/expect her to be.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Probably mostly because they are both 6/8 and have a smokiness to them. Fade Into You is probably more accurate as others have noted.

Got to admit, I don't really know much about her other than she wins awards, sells lots of records and was in dispute with her label for selling her back catalogue (or something)matedog wrote: ↑26 Nov 2019, 11:32amPlenty to not like about her, buuuuut she can write a hook as Mimi noted above.

This is fantastic and I won't hear a bad word said against it or its brilliant middle 8.

But can she write a hook or is it the multitude of pro songwriters that she has worked with?
