#New Beginnings Album

[lunar-years]

This is the pessimist jumping out of me but I think what irks me most about the level of rep tv hype is that I KNOW half these people are gonna be the exact same ones loudly complaining on rep tv release night because “delicate sounds slightly off at minute 1:34” or “how could they ruin getaway car :(“ or “this new photoshoot doesn’t even fit the vibe” or “why do these vault tracks sound like they belong on midnights :(“

The 1989 Era Is Coming Back Around—Rebirth and New Beginnings ☀️🦋

You know what I just realized….Taylor is currently 34 yrs old which means she will be 35 on Dec 13 of this yr. The Manuscript vinyl variant of TTPD is $35 and the standard digital album is $12

I just made a post explaining why I think this album cover represents the acceptance stage of grief and how it’s related to the common expression “You’ve made your bed now lie in it” which means you have to accept the unpleasant results of your actions. We know that midnight or 12:00 is when we meet the real Taylor and when Taylor meets herself and there have been a lot of hints at New Year’s Day, one of the biggest midnights of the yr, being when midnight will happen: 321 happy new yr, 321 exile ends, new yr = rebirth and new beginnings 🦋, glitching back to 1989 era which is the moonstone vinyl, midnights vinyls clock, 12 hrs for 12 months, 12th month is Dec, 8/9/23 surprise songs, “don’t read the last page” connecting to the story of us and the manuscript, etc

So putting all these pieces together I don’t think it’s that much of a reach to conclude that midnight/daylight will happen at the end of this yr in Dec when Taylor is 35 yrs old. The moonstone vinyl/1989 represents the beginning of the yr (Jan-March, 1-3), and if we’re glitching back to 1989 and starting over from the beginning—the 2013 VSFS—then the beginning of 2025 will mark the rebirth/new beginning/new chapter that Taylor has been hinting at!! This is why Taylor has been referencing the 1989 era like crazy lately and why the 1989 tv album cover is the only album cover of hers that she smiles in. She’s literally telling us exactly WHEN midnight will happen

“It’s a clock, it can help you tell time” -> “It’s coming back around” -> Just like a cyclical clock, the 1989 era/moonstone vinyl is coming back around. We’re going back to where it all began

am i being dramatic or does it feel like we're going through a hiatus again with the severe lack of new content from the boys?? no promotional performances, no interviews, no tv appearances, nothing. do they seriously have nothing planned before the tour? wouldn't this hurt the success of this album? is this intentional? or is it just fbr doing a SHIT job? i don't like it.

Kevin MacLeod poll

What’s your favorite Kevin MacLeod track included on his BFDI vinyl record?

(Note: if you have other tracks used in BFDI that aren’t included, feel free to put them in the tags! I just chose to stick to the record because tumblr polls only have 12 options.)

I did not like the new Imagine Dragons album and Im so sad about this

[edge-oftheworld]

also, we gonna acknowledge how much streaming services are killing the viability of the music industry? Ashton saying he’s been part of billion stream songs and they pay next to nothing should be REALLY BAD NEWS that has us thinking of the artists who don’t manage to break through with anything like youngblood or she looks so perfect

some maths for you: a billion streams=roughly $3 million for the artist. divide it up between not only 4 people but the co-writers as well and then subtract all the expenses they needed to create it (an album costs around $20k to do cheaply, but for a big hit song you’ll want to spend a lot more on promo etc). I don’t actually know how much would be left, maybe a couple hundred grand each, but the chances of getting more than one of these out per decade are very slim unless you’re one of the top few artists

because BILLION STREAM SONGS ARE NOT THE NORM for most artists. 5sos have about 10-12 billion streams all up I think? multiply these numbers by 10. they get most of their money from touring, all artists do so if you want tours to be accessible for poorer folk we need to make sure our artists can earn a living from their recordings too

12 hour hunter metal playlist????

ages ago zeno robinson said something about how hunter probably likes hard rock and metal music bc he'd relate to the lyrics (this was prior to hunter's sunshine arc). and i've been listening almost exclusively to hard rock and metal since i was 12. so i was like "oh, let's GO," and i put together a playlist with songs from a bunch of bands i've been listening to for 15 years, anything with lyrics i think hunter could even Slightly relate to at any point during season 2 (or before). there's some miserable soldier shit, hunting palisman and asias relationship confusion shit, eclipse lake i'm desperate but also sorry i'm killing you shit, hollow mind horror shit, angry Go Fuck Yourself shit, epic fantasy knight on a quest shit, whatever. it's all in there

crucially, though: i made this before we knew Anything about season 3, so it doesn't include a FRACTION of the grief and the autonomy-horror stuff it could. maybe someday i'll update it.

here it is tho.
