#also the lyrics are from the song crossing a bridge

[astrhae]

Hello! I’m late to finding out that you wrote the Anastasia/ tangled au that’s been LIVING in my head for WEEKS, and I just want to say it’s one of the most beautifully written things I’ve ever read and just… I adore everything about the phrasing and the imagery and the way all the references fit together and literally everything about it and that I’m so happy to hear you’re writing chapter three <3

akskdskdsk hi hello!! i'm so glad you're enjoying the fic so much 💙 --- i've been listening to the broadway anastasia soundtrack again and feeling so many things about wylan and the lyrics: halfway between where I've been, and where I'm going // In between wondering why, and finally knowing

it sums up so much about wylan and there's so much to unpack there, and i have almost all the dialogue written for the third chapter, but here's a little snippet for you :)

Wylan tilted his head. “You believe in Saints?” “I don’t believe in Ghezen,” Jesper shrugged. He wasn’t sure he believed in blessings either, but it felt like running in circles: everywhere he tried to run, the memory of the Prince was there, haunting, taunting. “That wasn’t what I asked,” Wylan said, stubborn. The lessons had paid off – Wylan did sound like a Prince. But Jesper had never been good at listening to Princes. Shaking his head, he picked up his hat again and put it on, letting one side drag down more than the other, more than was fair. “Lesson thirteen, princeling,” he replied, “we don’t always get what we ask for.”

You’re Losing Me Analysis

I wanted to do a short analysis on You’re Losing Me. My first impression of this song is that it’s another breakup song addressed to her fans in allegorical form like high infidelity (see this post). There are multiple lyrics that substantiate this interpretation. It’s horribly ironic that swifties think this is a song abt Joe when it’s really abt them and their refusal to SEE her. I’m more certain than ever now that the eras tour is a goodbye to her fans before she comes out

You say “I don’t understand” and I say “I know you don’t” // This is reminiscent of the bridge of Dear Reader. These desperate prayers of a cursed man spilling out to you for free but darling, darling, please, you wouldn't take my word for it if you knew who was talking. There is a communication issue between her and her fans. Her fans don’t know who she really is and are gonna be really confused when she comes out bc they thought they knew her

We thought a cure would come through in time…Now I just sit in the dark and wonder if it’s time // This parallels the archer. Should she stay in her dark closet or step into the daylight? Dark side, I search for your dark side. But what if I'm alright, right, right, right here? Also the mention of time makes me think of “meet me at midnight” and all the clock/time imagery she’s been using lately alluding to a countdown. Spring breaks loose, the time is near / Are we only biding time 'til I lose your attention? Her Cinderella facade is abt to expire at midnight

The heartbeat is an obvious callback to wildest dreams which she includes twice in the setlist, once in the 1989 era and once in the seven spoken word poem which again makes use of this Cinderella metaphor. This poem essentially tells her fans “You can cling onto this idealized version of me in my Cinderella dress or you can meet the real me at midnight”

Do I throw out everything we built or keep it? // Again the archer. Should she come out and potentially ruin her career and her relationship w her fans or stay in the closet? She chose the first option and burned the lover house down. Dear reader burn all the files, desert all your past lives / He's gonna burn this house to the ground…So yeah it’s a fire it’s a goddamn blaze in the dark / 'Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned. Everything you lose is a step you take. So make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it. You've got no reason to be afraid

You might have just dealt the final blow // Don’t Blame Me transitioning into LWYMMD. Her singing “The old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now. Why? Because she’s dead” while all the glass closets keeping her past selves trapped shatter and they walk out finally freed. The Anti Hero mv where her daughter in law (representing the hardcore swifties) is the person that kills her and the younger son (gaylors) points this out which enrages her and sparks a brawl. Happiness, which includes a reference to the Cinderella/midnight metaphor, being a eulogy to the old Taylor and her relationship w her fans—“dappled with the flickers of light from the dress I wore at midnight, leave it all behind”

These lyrics make it pretty clear who she’s talking to imo. How can you say that you love someone you can’t tell is dying? I sent you signals // Sending signals to be double crossed / You didn’t even hear me out, I gave so many signs so many times

Now you’re running down the hallway // Dear reader, get out your map, pick somewhere and just run

I gave you all my best me’s, my endless empathy // After giving you the best I had, tell me what to give after that

Fighting in only your army, frontlines // Combat, I’m ready for combat / So yeah it’s a war, it’s the goddamn fight of my life

A pathological people pleaser who only wanted you to see her // All of mirrorball and Nothing New. The Dear Reader bridge. They see right through me. Can you see right through me? The delicate mv. Giant Taylor begging the audience to see her in the eras tour Anti Hero performance and storming off after being ignored

Lastly this track follows Dear Reader and when read together it sounds like she’s telling her fans goodbye

[xoxochb]

okay okay okay!! first i just stumbled on your account and it's so lovely and all your work is incredible!!! secondly, i have a fic request for you (based on a taylor song/lyric)

i was thinking daughter of athena and luke castellan with the lyric from peter (aka the bridge) but specifically "but the woman who sits by the window has turned out the light." like an angsty fic where he promised her to go back and get her (since he loved her) but came too late!!

idk if that makes sense but hopefully it does.

all my love, amanda <3

˗ˋ promises, oceans deep, but never to keep ˊ˗

warnings: depressing, I’ll pay for everyone’s therapy. this also isn’t proof read because I’m lazy

pairing: luke castellan x daughter of athena

summary: read the request!

A/N: I wrote this so fast, but I swear it all came to me at once so I hurried to write it all before I forgot it 😭

“I’ll come back for you, I promise”

“don’t break it”

“I won’t, I swear it on the river styx”

what. a. lie.

countless nights spent crying your eyes out, skipping meals, cutting off all your friends and siblings, staying in bed the whole day, and for what? for some guy that couldn’t even bother to keep a promise, that’s who

“get up” you hear a voice say above you, and although your face has basically been best friends with your pillow, you know exactly who it is

“go away annabeth” you mumbled

“no, I’m not. this isn’t healthy, I miss him too but you don’t see me crying in bed everyday”

you sit up quickly upon hearing those words

“that’s different, he said he would be back for me” you fumed

“face facts, he’s not coming back, it’s been 6 months” she took a seat at the end of your bed

“get out” you shoot her a harsh glare

“this is my cabin to you know?” she responded

“then get off my bed and leave me alone”

- 🎞️ -

from all the time you spent in bed you’d think sleep would have come to you easier, but you spent every night and day lying awake, thinking about your last words together

where was he? why wouldn’t he come back?

those words repeated in your head constantly, and you couldn’t stand it. wasn’t healing supposed to be easier?

it isn’t. it wasn’t easy

for the first 7 months, all you could do was cry

but then you accepted the fact that he wouldn’t be coming back for you, so you started a new life- a better life. you mended things with your friends, got up from bed and even ate full meals

it was almost perfect

you were happy, for the first time in a while

but that was until you heard a knock on your window, disturbing your peace. you stand up from your bed and walk over to the window, opening it quickly so the knocking doesn’t wake up any of your sleeping siblings

oh my gods, this cannot be happening

“hey”

“no- you can’t- no, absolutely not” you stutter, scanning your brain for the right words, “you can’t be here, luke”

“I told you I would come back, I promised it you know” he grinned

seriously? he left you for months, broken and depressed and he smiles? you would be lying if you said you didn’t miss it though

“no-wait, hold on” you cover his mouth with your hand before climbing out of your window. you take his hand and drag him away from your cabin

“I’m not going with you, you’re too late” you state, crossing your arms over your chest

“what do you mean too late?” he asks

“It’s been seven months, luke, you left me here, I grieved, and then I accepted the fact that you were never coming back.”

“and I came back didn’t I? I love you, I would never break my promise” he tries to grab your hands but you don’t allow him, pulling them away quickly

“no, it doesn’t matter if the promise was broken or not, you left me, and I got over you”

“I’m sorry, I really am, I didn’t mean to take so long- I had a lot of things to take care of, I didn’t mean to upset you I mean, I’ve been sad to you know, I missed you a lot and-”

“stop. you don’t get to tell me about sad” you scowl and begin to walk away but he grabs your hand swiftly

“please- just let me explain” he begs, and something in you wants to stay and listen but you know it’s for the better

“I can’t do this, you need to go” you feel tears start making their ways to your eyes

he grabs both of your hands, cupping them in his, “please” he cried, eyes filled with desperation

you let a tear shed down your cheek, “I’m sorry” you whisper, and release your hands from his grasp, making your way back to your cabin

and as you were leaving, it felt like breathing

[demon4dilfs]

consider this a companion post to my first submission to @valvertweek. after my first post i thought it would be fun to make a playlist. i think i have a good balance of songs with dog/wolf motifs, and also songs about darkness/twilight/night.

for those on mobile (and because i want to share my favorite lyrics) the songs are:

i'm your man - mitski | you're an angel, i'm a dog, or you're a dog and i'm your man

bark like a god - sloppy jane | pray in the name of our fathers and their halos of retriever gold, down boy, down

i wanna be your dog - the stooges | and now i'm ready to feel your hand, and lose my heart on the burning sand. and now i wanna be your dog

little dark age - mgmt | if you get out of bed, come find us heading for the bridge. bring a stone, all the rage, my little dark age

bitches brew - crosses | as you dance against the breathing wall, my claws are out i want to feel it all

dogs - pink floyd | who was born in a house full of pain? who was trained not to spit in the fan? who was told what to do by the man? who broken by trained personnel? who was fitted with collar and chain?

in this twilight - nine inch nails | as the time is running out, let me take away your doubt. we can find a better place in this twilight

mutt - sophie meiers | anything that you want, i will beg like a dog. anything that you want, i am chained like a mutt

de selby (part 2) - hozier | i wanna run so far, i'd beat the morning. before the dawn has come, i'd block the sun if you want it done

hunted down - soundgarden | your narrow escape has wiped the smile right from your face. those starved dogs howling run to hunt you down

oblivion - grimes | i will wait forever, always looking straight. thinking, counting all the hours you wait. see you on a dark night

end of the night - the doors | some are born to sweet delight, some are born to the endless night. end of the night, end of the night

wolf (boy harsher remix) - yeah yeah yeahs & boy harsher | i'm hunted like a wolf, i feed, i feed like a wolf. i'm lost and i'm lonely, i hunger for you only

sleepless - king crimson | in the dream, i fall into the sleepless sea, with a swell of panic and pain. my veins are aching for the distant reef, in the crush of emotional waves

an orphan of fortune - mgmt | lay by me, and we'll erode as gently as we can into twilight

and here's the cover image i made bc i lowkey based this off 98 valvert

N25 KAITO X GN!Reader

(Not proof read... as too I am a beginner writer so yes, it's not the best)

And as per request to be @ is @kotarchipelago

Little note you're a Virtual Singer here!! This is a bit based on that area convo, but the reader is not n25 rin or miku! Lastly, you kinda?? I made the reader a little playful or well teasing... I know it doesn't match the Empty Sekai, but I guess you could say that they took on a bit from Mizuki and N25 Luka's personality

You were feeling extra tired today. The sekai seemed much more claming than usual. You couldn't help but lay behind the broken pillars of the sekai and rest. Sure, it's uncomfortable at times, but the atmosphere around was truly so calming. Your eyelids fell really quickly. When you awoke, you felt something soft and uneven under your head.. You slowly opened your eyes, the light of the dull and emptiness of the Sekai wasn't the thing you first thing you met with this time, but a blue haired man. Your head was on his lap. How'd you get here? What is happening? You felt relaxed but at the same time confused. It took you second to realize it was KAITO. You could also feel something stroking your head? It was nice, I guess. It felt like a massage but by KAITO? That's something you'd never think would happen in your time here in the Empty Sekai... He hasn't noticed you're awake, yet he was just staring off into the seemingly endless distance of the Sekai. You raised your hand and poked his cheek. Which startled him. He suddenly looked down and saw that you were awake. You've never seen KAITO's face so red and embarrassed before!

"What do you think you're doing, KAITO?"

You chuckled and he seemed to be a bit speechless. This is the first time you've seen KAITO nervous? Or perhaps embarrassed. "Cat bit your tounge?" You spoke again and finally sat up. "It's nothing, is it suddenly wrong to be kind? Aren't you always telling me to be nicer?" He finally spoke and crossed his arms, his face seemed to get back to normal. If you look close enough from his cold or seemingly angry expression is a small blush. "So? Are the kind of man w-" you tried speaking again yet got cut off by KAITO. "Shut up." He continued "This never happended." He then stood up and tried leaving. "You know I'm not the type to just forget?" You said in a teasing tone, and stood up too, to follow KAITO. "Don't follow me." He turned to you and shot a cold glare, well you would listen if it weren't for the blush on his face! "Don't be embarrassed, it's a cute gesture no?" You chuckled mockingly. He didn't respond, and covered the lower part of his face with his hand, looking down. "Hey... don't be ashamed! The massage was nice!" You teased again.

KAITO removed his hand from his face and the other rubbed the bridge of his nose. You can't tell if you're getting on his nerves or he's embarrased. You were about to speak again, until you heard some chatter from behind you. "Oh! [Name]! And.. KAITO? We we're looking for the others." Mizuki spoke and a bit surprised KAITO was there too, beside them was Kanade. "Isn't it late for you guys, hmm? Still.. what is it do you need?" You tilted your head, you also turned around for a second to check on KAITO, but he just disappeared. Typical. You sighed and tuened back to the two. "I made a new song. I wanted to hear you and the other's opinions." Kanade spoke and handed the phone to you. The song played and it was a calming, and slow tune. Similar to what of a lullaby, the lyrics bittersweet too. The song soon finished and you handed the phone back to Kanade. "You are quite talented, Kanade. Sadly, we could've asked KAITO. I'm afraid he ran of to who knows where." You shrugged and smiled at the two. "I remember seeing Len and Rin play somewhere close by.. though it was probably was hours ago. I believe you could find them, maybe?" Kanade nodded and Mizuki spoke. "Thank you so much, [Name]! See ya!" Mizuki winked and waved by as they grabbed Kanade's arm the two walked away.

(Mizuki and Kanade's POV)

"See, probably if [Name] likes it the others probably will too!" Mizuki encouraged, Kanade was about to speak until they heard someone call them from behind. "Hey." The two turned and saw KAITO. "Ah! KAITO, can we ask you to do something!" Mizuki said, and Kanade handed the phone. "A new song? Huh?" KAITO sighs and plays the song. Kanade and Mizuki were more nervous for his reaction. You could see a small smile but then it quickly faded.

"It is nice. Yet, it feels rushed. You showed the others a new song just a few days ago. Then you come and bring another one. Can I ask my question now?" He sighed and crossed his arms, the cold stare looking down upon the two. "I wanted to ask, eh... How has [Name] been doing the past few times you've visited them." KAITO's voice got a bit softer, and you can see some traces of embarrasment on his face. He rubbed the bridge of his nose once again, trying to regain composure. "Ohh? Well nothing much, she's been normal!" Mizuki tilted her head, they seemed to try remembering anything but yet seems they had nothing left to say. Kanade jsut nodded her head agreeing with Mizuki. "Okay." KAITO says and walk pasts the two. Mizuki caught a glance at his face and he was a blushing mess. Mizuki seemed to have gotten a hint on whats going on with KAITO..

Ten years after the One Direction shows, Louis Tomlinson returned to Vélez to make the stadium vibrate

The 32-year-old British singer showed off on a cold night, to which he knew how to change the temperature with his music and his fans,

"This is fucking crazy. Sing with me!" he said in one of his many interactions with the public.

Barbara Ventura | 05/19/24 16:37 / Updated on 05/20/2024 03:45

After a brief promotional visit, British singer Louis Tomlinson (32 years old) returned to Argentina with his world tour Faith in the Future to offer an electric and unforgettable show this Saturday at the José Amalfitani. The Vélez stadium was the epicenter of a night full of emotions, where euphoria and nostalgia mixed in the air when the former member of One Direction took the same stage that he shared with the British-Irish band in his two shows of 10 years ago.

Unlike the tour that brought him to the country in 2022 to present his debut album Walls at the Movistar Arena, this time Louis was accompanied by another former member of the band, Liam Payne, who at 20.40 caused a great surprise by appearing on the northern preferential stage of the court to enjoy the concert from a private box.

As it could not be otherwise, when they saw him, the fans sang his name in unison: "Liam, Liam! Liam, Liam!", a gesture that did not go unnoticed for the English singer who decided to leave the box for a few seconds to say hello, smiling and lively.

After 21.15, the reflectors that illuminated the stadium suddenly went out to start the concert, which took place on an almost winter night that was felt to the bones due to the low temperatures that reached a minimum of 8°. But nothing and no one could tarnish the party that was about to begin.

It was then that the stadium became a tide of cell phones ready to record the triumphant arrival of Louis Tomlinson, who when he met again with his audience after two years, began to sing the opening song, The Greatest, which is part of his second album that gives its name to the world tour.

In this way, the performer led an almost two-hour show whose setlist was made up of 21 songs, 16 of which belong to his first two albums: Walls and Faith In The Future.

He also performed Night Changes and Where Do Broken Hearts Go?, two iconic songs from One Direction's album Four (2014) that reverted from pop to rock to accompany the live sound of his solo project crossed by musical influences of Britpop and Brit Rock.

Tomlinson and his fans, an indestructible bond

Over the years, on more than one occasion, the British singer was frank about the close bond that unites him to his fans around the world, who for shows usually organize fan projects - massive creative actions organized on social networks to deploy at different moments of a concert - and when playing his first solo show in an Argentine stadium, it was no different.

The first one that was seen on the Vélez court occurred during the second song, Kill My Mind. "This is absolutely crazy. Sing with me!" exclaimed Tomlinson, visibly surprised, realizing that the stadium had turned into a great tide of white lights that moved up and down as he sang the bridge of the song "Kill my, kill my, kill my."

Other fan projects that stood out throughout the night were given during the performance of Saturday, which consisted of printing white posters with the black legend that read "This saturday takes the pain away", a phrase that alludes to the lyrics.

For Out of My System, the public was organized to have white and red handkerchiefs, characteristic colors of the album Faith in the Future and to be able to wave them at the beginning of the song and also in the choruses, which generated a real rock climate.

"Buenos Aires, I need to talk because this is fucking crazy! I want to start the show by thanking each of the people who are here tonight. You’ve blown my mind!" said the singer from Doncaster, United Kingdom, obnce the concert began.

In the middle of his speech, Tomlinson was honest about how shocked he felt at the warm welcome he received at the José Amalfitani stadium: "Maybe you have a different opinion, but I never, not even in a fucking million years, expected to be alone on a stage of this size, and be proud for me, I can feel it, but be proud of yourself for what we create together."

"This is incredible but... Jesus, it’s fucking cold!" was one of the many comments that Louis made, with a funny tone throughout the cold night.

When singing the sixth song We Made It, he made sure to go through the stage from end to end and also used the catwalk to be in contact with the largest number of people present in the audience.

Then, he asked his loyal fans that by singing it "to think about how far we’ve come together" referring to the ups and downs he faced after the end of One Direction in 2015 that meant five years of global success and the uncertainties he overcame to encourage himself to launch his career as a solo singer in 2020. And by way of support, the audience sang in unison: "Olé olé olé olé, Louis, Louis!"

As if time had not passed and it was still 2014, fans chanted every word of the hits Night Changes and Where Do Broken Hearts Go?, which marked One Direction's career. The band has left precedents that, although no longer active, left a mark with its discography for more than a generation.

As the concert came to the end, Tomlinson said: "Tonight I enjoyed every second, except for the cold" in terms of how he experienced the concert he gave in Argentina after 2 years.

"Every one of you has been incredible. It feels fucking good to play in a stadium of this size, feel so good on stage and have all of you here so again, thank you, thank you, thank you," Louis thanked his fans for the last time before warning that there was only one song left in the repertoire: Silver Tongues to recognize that he was not ready for the concert to end: "I don't want this to end but we have to.”

As it usually happens and it has already become a tradition during his concerts, Louis came down from the stage to approach the fans who were on the barricades at the front, and thus interact with them and greet them up close.

Louis Tomlinson, FITFWT24: Buenos Aires [18.5.2024]

[makethatelevenrings]

Hmmm..."It's been so long" with Dick Grayson please? Congratulations on reaching 3k!

The warm, buttery rays of sunshine that spilled across his cheeks and the bridge of his nose made sleep more impossible than ever. Dick wondered what time it was. Based on the fact that you weren’t fast asleep next to him, it had to be some time past eight. 

He had stumbled into the apartment around three and found you fast asleep, something he was grateful for. He hated coming home and finding you fighting sleep in an attempt to check if he was injured. Only after promising you repeatedly that he would wake you up if he needed assistance did you start going to bed at a more reasonable time.

The bedroom door was shut, separating him from the rest of the apartment. He could hear Haley’s claws scrabble along the laminate tile floor and you were humming along to some song he couldn’t make out. The speakers were on low, an attempt to make sure he didn’t wake up.

He pushed off the mattress and made his way to the bathroom. The faster he brushed his teeth and did the three step skincare regimen you had got him to do, the faster he could join you.

What he wasn’t expecting to find when he walked out of the bedroom was you cradling Haley in your arms as your dance partner as you caterwauled along to a High School Musical song. Your face lit up at the sight of your partner, but you didn’t stop singing along to Breaking Free. Dick chuckled and leaned against the wall to watch you, his arms crossed over his chest. But you weren’t having it. You leaned down and let Haley wriggle out of your arms before you lunged forward and grabbed Dick’s hands, tugging him into you.

“You are the music in me,” you crooned. Laughter filled his voice as he tried to sing along with Troy’s part. Neither one of you were in the running to get a Grammy, but he didn’t care. All he needed right now was the feel of your hand in his as you dramatically spun into his chest and pressed your back to his chest. You threw your head back once the chorus picked up, your head pillowed on his shoulder.

He gave up trying to follow the lyrics and instead buried his face against the soft fabric of the shirt that covered your shoulder. It was one of his shirts and he appreciated seeing the way it fell across your body, inflaming some latent possessive desire that rested in his soul. Giggles erupted from your lips and your body shook against his as the song faded out and some early 2000s Jonas Brothers kicked in.

“It’s been so long since I heard these songs,” he said. “Do you have a playlist?”

“Mhm,” you hummed. He rested his hands on your waist and swayed back and forth. He relished in the way you sank into his touch and trusted that he would always keep you standing.

“I also have blueberry muffins in the oven,” you added. “Morning, baby.”

“How much longer on those muffins?”

“Twenty-three minutes.”

“Wanna make out on the couch?”

“Abso-fucking-lutely. I’ll even let you touch my ass.”

Dick didn’t mind waking up to an empty bed if this was the result.

Letter

Hey jikookers, how are you?

Face is out, and I'm sure we're all steamming. I love “Like crazy”.. so smooth and elegant....it's a pity I can't listen to it on loop  (for streaming purposes 😣)

ok... then... let’s move to the point...

Who hasn't had an attack of giggling or screaming (anything goes) when they found out that there was a hidden song by Jimin in collaboration with Jungkook?

I mean JIKOOK singing together! 

That perfect match it is... JIKOOK 

JIKOOK JIKOOK JIKOOK forever

..

LETTER

What should I say? And how can I do it well? I'm just clumsy, I know it's obvious, But I'll deliver these words Without being too light.

I say oh oh I hope you become happier When I stumble, You reached out your hand to me.

I say oh oh Now, I'll hold you when you want to cry So you won't fall down. Even after time passes, Will we still be the same as we were? Like when we first met.

If we're together, We can cross mountains and seas. Just like we were then.

I say oh oh I hope this never ends. You're like a warm spring day to me, In the cold winter.

Baby, don't leave, Just stay by my side, yeah. I'll only say what I can deliver, As much as you've done for me. I'll keep the promises I made.

Don't worry, Just stay by my side, yeah. We don't know what tomorrow holds, But don't be afraid, always remember

...

I'm dying with this beautiful song. With that  subtle JK that accompanies his bae in the chorus and in the bridge, like a caress, without taking any spotlight away from Jimin and his song.

I hope you come to my funeral and write epitaphs that say "she died because of a song" 

As I don't have the album yet, I listened to it on youtube, read the lyrics, and on twitter I saw this explanation of how it is included in the album.

Of course, this time stamp is going to be great for Army to consider Jimin's song as a gift for them. And surely Jimin is going to endorse it, if he decides to speak about it.

But... let's read between the lines... for a song to Army.. did he need JK? 

He could have done the backup vocals himself and make the whole thing more intimate (jimin-army),

It also doesn't fit that JK just yesterday decided to make a spoiler of the song.

(I know who the teacher of that one lesson was!)

I think he came live to show us exactly that spoiler 🤣.. He also had the guitar ready for it!!! 

U know why? cause that song means something else for them. It’s not just a casual song... (I remind you that JK barely mentioned his Stay Alive, even back then when he had instagram)

I know the lyrics of LETTER could apply to army as well, 

Some are gonna say it

And I agree too. Look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83NyhL_Plw8

But it’s a love song. Whichever way you look at it. 

I asked a friend of mine, a k-kookminer, and she thinks so too (we already know that the language thing is very important here and better to ask).

A hidden song about a hidden love. Period

[kira-fluff]

coughs into his hand in an attempt to make you realize he's still here

can't stop himself from gazing at your lips

imagine them around his cock

like, come on now

he's still a demon

so anyone that says he's a pure, innocent bean could not be more wrong

this dude is canonically VERY dirty-minded

his eyes pool with want as he looks at you, completely unaware of what you're doing to him

his expression is so strained and tortured

if you ask him about it, though, he'll deny it to his grave

high-key possessive of this side of you lol

"i dunno what yer talkin' about, human! d-don't be singin' those around anyone else, got it?!"

leviathan "All I really need to understand is (uh-huh) When you, you talk dirty to me"

nosebleed.

as soon as you began singing the song he was entranced by the way your lips sounded out each syllable

you weren't even try but it was sensual asf

help this poor man omfg

covers his whole face, not only trying to stop the bleeding, but also because his face is so, incredibly flushed

your eyes snap up to his and you tilt your head in confusion

fuck

aaaand now he's hard.

concern sweeps over your face as you move closer to him, taking his face in your hands

you attempt to stop the bleeding from his nose but it doesn't show any sign of stopping

that is, of course, primarily due to the fact that you're currently straddling him

let be honest, though, while you weren't trying to be dirty singing the song, you hid the smirk that so desperately wanted to envelop your mouth as you sat on top of him

you'd just lightly brush your center against his bulge and he's already gasping and moaning

"s-stop... you're not playing fair, y/n..."

satan "Met a friend in Rio (Dos) She was all on me, oh (Tres) We could ménage à three, oh"

swears you're doing it on purpose.

he'll glare at you at first, eyeing you for any indications of mischief

after he examines you and sees no indications that you're trying to rile him up, he's intrigued

crosses his arms, planning on waiting until the end of the song

but then you sing those lyrics

and he lets out a frustrated groan, taking the bridge of his nose between his fingers

he's shaking his head in disbelief

how can you be this oblivious?

he keeps crossing and uncrossing his legs because his pants are getting more and more uncomfortable by the minute

when you finally look up at him you smile innocently, waving to him

you frown when all you receive is his suffering expression and the shake of his head

"sometimes you're so unaware it makes me wonder how you've survived this long.."

asmodeus "You know the words to my songs, no habla inglés (oh) Our conversations ain't long But you know what it is"

"oh you like this song, too?"

not fazed at all

forgot the lyrics were "inappropriate" honestly

probably will sing along with you in his off-key voice (you can't convince me this boy can sing)

he won't pass up the chance to offer some unsolicited sexual invitations to you, though

when you raise an eyebrow, confused, it dawns on him

you weren't even trying to start anything and here he was already ready to go down on you

he laughs his airy laugh

will probably suggest the two of you make a music video of it

"it would be even more fun if we shot it with our clothes off <3"

why would you sing this song by him lmfao

he might be semi-joking but his lustful eyes never leave yours

"maybe we can act out song of the songs suggestions later, ok?"

beelzebub "Her pussy so good I bought her a pet Got her saved in my phone under 'Big Booty' Anyway, every day I'm tryna get to it Got her saved in my phone under 'Big Booty'"

gulps. and not because he's hungry.

well, for food, that is.

low-key disturbed at how turned on he his

rubs his stomach in surprise, because this isn't the sort of hunger he's used to

can't even be around you while you sing it

he literally will sprint to the gym and lift like 2000 lbs to try to think about something else other than your ass

his thoughts are pure sin (i mean, he is a demon after all)

what would you taste like?

winces at his own thoughts

when you find him later and ask him what was wrong, he can barely look you in the eye without feeling shame

his ears still get a little red thinking about it even now

he tries so hard to be a good guy awe

"you make me feel a sort of hunger i haven't felt before... it's strange."

belphagor "I'm that flight that you get on, international First class seat on my lap, girl, riding comfortable, ha (oh yeah)"

funnily enough, your lap has never looked like a better pillow.

your thighs are so plush and soft

perfect for his head to rest on

or his face to sit in between

all suggestions, of course

that he keeps in his head

you notice him staring, but his eyes are no where near yours

instead, they're staring at the little shadow of fabic below your skirt

what can you expect? demons don't take classes on manners

when he realizes you caught him staring, he'll look away, his cheeks tinted a shade of pink

call him out on it, his reaction will be hilarious

if your expression is accompanied by a smirk, all the better

who's so smug now?

"you sure do have the 'innocent act' down to a tee. don't try that again with me or you'll have to take responsibility for what happens next."

[uramilf]

hi! I love your writing sm. can I req this it's based on a tiktok I saw and thought it'd be cute. so basically y/n singing taylor's new song you're losing me esp the bridge! and matty is concerned like "we're okay right? you've been singing that song with much passion" or something like that! I just really thought it would be cute thank u so much

Ok I decided to turn this one into a proper imagine where the reader is a popular solo artist who misses her rockstar boyfriend and literally sat up until 3am working on it because i loved the idea so fucking much, thank you anon <3

Warnings: Angst and sadness but happy ending I promise

You're Losing Me

Y/n Y/l/n was sitting alone in her dressing room cross legged on a battered sofa. She had just received a message from her friend George to inform her that The 1975 had performed their last show of their tour and were flying back to London the very next morning. He also dropped in that Matty was excited to see her again and couldn't wait to get home. She hadn't bothered to respond. Why couldn't Matty have told her that himself? Her heart sank on remembering that although Matty was finishing his tour, she was just beginning hers. She would spend one night with him in their shared house before flying to the USA and wouldn't return for several weeks. Y/n felt empty, as she had since Matty left. She looked up to realise that she wasn't alone at all; in fact the dressing room was full of people refilling her water bottles, fixing the order of her costumes for quick changes, ensuring the setlist was right. But still, the crushing loneliness got to her. She doubted that it would be remedied in twenty minutes when the crowd of 15,000 people were screaming her name. She was right.

--------------------

Exactly 24 hours later, Y/n lay in her boyfriend's arms, thrilled to have him home but heart not feeling any lighter. She could feel them pulling apart from each other, the demanding schedules their careers presented them with tearing apart the best relationship either of them had ever been in. Even as Matty stroked her hair and pressed soft kisses to her forehead, she was fighting to keep a smile on her face. She wanted to burst into tears and tell him she needed him. She needed to be with him all the time, not just sometimes. She needed to fall into his arms the second she came offstage. She needed to feel as though their relationship wasn't a liability. When Y/n left Matty in bed to use the bathroom, he started to scroll Twitter and look for videos of his girl's first show of her tour. He came across one that already had thousands upon thousands of views. It was captioned "Y/n Y/l/n cover Taylor Swift's "You're Losing Me" at her London show last night". He clicked and started watching. His girlfriend sounded angelic as usual, but he didn't feel like he was watching a video of her usual happy, performance-loving self. The girl on his screen was breaking from the inside out. The passion she was singing with was gave her the image of someone who undeniably related to what she was singing. She wasn't just covering a popular song. He could tell she meant it. He listened closely to the lyrics; "And I wouldn't marry me either, a pathological people pleaser", "Do something babe, say something." Matty's heart was in his throat as he realised that there was a reason she had chosen the song. Did she think he didn't love her anymore? Had she been hoping for the next step in their relationship? Was he really losing her?

Y/n re-entered the room to see Matty, phone in hand, with a tear slipping down his cheek. "What's wrong, baby? Aren't you happy to be home?" "Are we ok, Y/n?" Matty whispered. "What? Of course we are. What's brought this on, love?" "The song. Last night. I know you didn't write it but you just sang it with so much passion, I couldn't help but feel like there's something you're not telling me." Y/n looked at his phone and was overcome with guilt. He understood that she had been singing to him. She took Matty's face in her hands and swiped away a tear gently with her thumb. "I'm sorry, Matty. But I just felt like I related to the song so much. I couldn't help but feel like we drifted apart while you were on tour. We were barely speaking by the last few weeks of it. I just needed you here, and honestly I did feel like you were losing me." Matty's sobs didn't stop. "Are you saying you want to break up with me because I'm away too much?" "No! Of course not baby, I couldn't imagine breaking up with you for the world. You are all I want in life. I promise. But I just don't know how to do this long distance thing anymore. I need us to be together." "Y/n, darling, I know. I'm dreading tomorrow. In all honestly, I understand why you sang the song. I was drifting away from you. I just couldn't bear to talk to you over the phone. I couldn't even answer a text from you without crying about how much I missed you."

Y/n was crying now too, feeling terrible that she hadn't seen how miserable Matty had been on tour. She stroked his hair as he buried his head in her chest. "It's ok baby, we're gonna be ok." Matty lifted his head to kiss away her tears. "Listen, darling. I'm going to speak to the boys and let them know that I'm not gonna be in the studio for a while. Give me a few days to recover from tour and then I'm gonna fly out and meet you. We'll only be away from each other for another week tops." Y/n tackled him into a hug. "You're really coming on tour with me?" "Yes, darling, really. I'm sorry I even considered going back to the studio instead of coming with you. I've just felt so pressured into releasing new music recently. But everyone else can just wait for me and my girl."

Y/n and Matty lay in each other's embrace once more, and as she was drifting off to sleep, she heard him whisper, "I promise I'll never let you feel like you're losing me again."

A/N: Soz guys that got way deeper than I wanted it to. Got carried away ig but oh well

[yurigalactica]

would you mayhaps infodump about LC! lyrics? 👀👀 /nf

(I saw you on the anon game and am incredibly interested)

OOOOOOOOOH YESYESYESYES I WOULD LOVE TO INFODUMP ABOUT LOS CAMP LYRICS

okay okay so first of all. this band is so good. they have so many banger ass songs and that cannot be denied. HOWEVER in my heart To Tundra will always reign supreme. like holy shit. it's got lyrics like "meet me at st. nicholas among the oaks, behind the church that sway like pig-tailed girls as summer wind whistles around your bare-skin knees and the forsythia leaves" and "we take on the burden of all these sad-eyed children with lilies bunched in our hands" like. those lyrics are so visceral and potent they literally leave me with my mouth hanging wide open after i hear them. oh my GOD that song is magical

some of my other favorite songs lyrically is OBVIOUSLY tiptoe through the true bits. that's the song that whenever i hear it i have to stop literally everything i'm doing, turn up the volume as loud as it will go, close my eyes and just absorb the Vibes. it's so gorgeous AHHHHHH. the bit that makes my heart go !!!!!! is the part where it goes "the bed-spread decked in suns and moons and symbols of the star-signs, how you read how mine applied to how I would be sex-wise." like that paired with the little guitar picking up in the back and the drums kicking in are SO GOOD AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AND. IN MEDIA RES. that song changed my life genuinely. like WOW. the whole vibe of it, especially the end when the trumpets (i think they're trumpets at least) kick in and gareth goes "if you were given the option of dying painlessly in peace at 45 with a lover at your side, after a full and happy life, is this something that would interest you? would this interest you at all?" like WOW what an existential crisis moment while you feel like you're running through a rainy field. man that hits yknow

ALSO i am emotionally attached to Documented Minor Emotional Breakdown #4. i dont know why but the first time i ever heard it my brain latched its claws onto it and now it wont fucking let go. so whenever i hear the guitar at the beginning i am Legally Obligated to belt out at the top of my lungs "I RESTORED YOUR MOTHER'S FAITH IN MEN WHILST BORING YOU TO DEATH LEFT NOTHING MORE THAN A CIRCLE OF STUBBLE RASH AROUND YOUR CHEST--"

AND!!!!!!!!! for flotsam also has a very special place in my heart. i love the lyrics in that one, particularly "summer of odd-numbered year" like. MY GUYS YOU ARE SO CREATIVE???? all of your football metaphors to describe your boredom and emotions. like i don't watch football but you go guys i think its so kickass. i love you los campesinos. also the bit where they go "flotsam, jetsam, and spindrift, all the girls i have loved, dumped to earth by a spendthrift, gilt angels from above" with the "aaaahhh" in the back and the very faint piano in the background that i can only hear when i'm listening to it with my gaming headphones on bc my gaming headphones have really good mid range. just AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

AND WHAT DEATH LEAVES BEHIND TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 fun little fact this was the first song that i listened to when i first decided to listen to their discography all the way through. and let's just say that was a VERY good start because i was very impressed right off the bat. like "i was the first match struck at the first cremation, you are my shallow grave, I'll tend you as a sexton, if you're the casket door that's being slammed upon me, i'll be a plague cross painted on your naked body" LIKE HOLY SHIT. THATS SO EVOCATIVE. HOW DO YOU USE SO MANY METAPHORS AND BIG WORDS. THEYRE SO GOOD AT WORDS. i love listening to this one because it is so lyrically complex and yet it all goes together so well auuugghhhhhhhh

also since i started university recently, hung empty rings very near and dear to my heart. like the bit in the bridge that goes "my vision is fading, it's blurry, there are fingerprints all over the sun, we're glad to be loved but we're lonely and we feel like we're the only ones." like. that's the experience of moving out right there!!! i don't know where the fuck i am and i'm so lonely but it feels so bright and new and cinematic. this song Gets me on the most fundemental level it feels so very College-Esque

ALSOOOOOOO she crows!!!!!!!!!!!11 i LOVE she crows. someone inject this song into my veins Right This Fucking Instant. i need to live and breathe this song right now. just the instrumentals combined with the anthemic feel of the song really seals the feeling of looking back on your life and all of your mistakes and acknowledging that all of them brought you to where you are now. especially the end bit, i don't know why, but when it goes "big tip for the pretty girl waiting the IHOP, these blank napkins/unwritten suicide notes, it's dark inside these eyelids, blacker than the ink (squid)" it really feels like the end of the day. these are the lyrics that buzz like caffiene in your veins as you sit outside a dutchbros at eleven pm surrounded by the only people you feel like you can be yourself around. it's the feeling of cold biting at your skin while your heart feels warm and full. it feels like an open finale, the first time you smile in a long time, an acceptance of the complex beauty of life, that unforgettable moment when you realize that you wouldn't trade who you've become for the world

and CODA A BURN SCAR IN THE SHAPE OF THE SOONER STATE. I LOVE CODA SO MUCH AGH. PERFECT CRYING IN THE SHOWER SONG. like the lyric "an artist's impression of the manhattan skyline" will get me fucking SOBBING immediately. it feels like watching the world move on without you, the world a blur as you crumple inward under the weight of your emotions, a collapsing star in an endless void. and then obviously "i can't believe i chose the mountains every time you chose the sea" WOAH the SYMBOLISM i will just pass away right here in my dormitory with my headphones on. no sorry professor i can't write my essay i am unwell about the romance is boring album again. sorry yeah i'll be unavailable for 3-5 buisness weeks

but uh. yeah. los campesinos amirite???????????

[popbloganddropit]

The Tortured Poets Department - Taylor Swift (Part 3)

Apologies for the long delay, I got hit by a holiday and life has been a little busy and sleepless lately. I will try my best to get the finale, Part 4. Out as quickly as possible!

17. The Black Dog- Some of my favorite songs are “You Are In Love” and “Right Where You Left Me,” and I’m still baffled this was left as a bonus track. If I wrote this song (solo!!!), I would never shut up about and put it on every album I could. The Anthology has some really great, interesting stuff, but I just think “The Black Dog” is in a league of its own. The lyrics scratch an itch I didn’t know I had and the drums and echo kicking in on “screaming” every time (except the perfection that is the whispered final one) is so cathartic. This is a quintessential break up song; a perfect balance of confusion, nostalgia, sadness and anger. Tattoo this song on my body and put “I hope it’s shitty in The Black Dog” on my gravestone. 5/5

Best Line: “And hire a priest to come and exorcise my demons, even if I die screaming, and I hope you hear it”.

18. imgonnagetyouback- This track is a little meh for me. There’s some lines that feel like they could have used a second draft, and some of them are in the chorus. “Smash up your bike” just seems very random to me and doesn’t make up for the slightly off rhyme scheme enough. There’s some fun vocal moments; she sounds like she’s having the best time in the bridge, but I can see why this is was left off the main track list. 2.5/5

Best Line: “I, I hear the whispers in your eyes, I'll make you wanna think twice. You'll find that you were never not mine. I'm gonna get you back.”

19. The Albatross- This song is fun to sing along to, despite the message being sad. A little research into the Time of the Ancient Mariner (or explainers from the literary Swifties) might help this song click for you if it hasn’t. There’s also a little Blank Space infused in, a “this is what they’re saying about me, I’ll be that character” energy. “Cross your thoughtless heart, only liquor anoints you” rolls off the tongue far smoother than anything containing the word “anoint” has any right to. 4.5/5

Best Line: “Devils that you know, raise worse hell than a stranger. She's the death you chose, you're in terrible danger.”

20. Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus- I love a song with a lot or yearning and boy, did I get a feast here. I also really like the subtle, but beautiful musical background Dessner has given us. Those little flourishes elevate the mood so perfectly. The “Maroon” reference is so interesting. The possibilities of mixed genders in the title. There is much to contemplate here, but you are expertly only left with questions, similar to the narrator. A little like the state of the narrator’s affairs, this song haunts the little crevices of my mind, worming it’s way towards being one of my favorites. 5/5

Best Line: Spotify once described my musical aura as “yearning and wistful” and this entire chorus scratches that itch so well. “If you want to break my cold, cold heart, just say, 'I loved you the way that you were'. If you want to tear my world apart, just say you've always wondered.”

21. How Did It End- another song that might be a career high but is delegated to the middle of the second secret album??? At least it’s technically a Track 5. She really captures the embarrassment of breaking up and everyone finding out and some acting like they care so they can have more fodder for gossip. Meanwhile the protagonist doesn’t really even seem to have the answers to give them, a genius double entendre with both onlookers and the narrator asking the titular question. “Soon they'll go home to their husbands. Smug cause they know they can trust him,” really punches in a break up song. Everyone else has what she doesn’t. There is so much heartbreaking minutiae tucked into this song; it’s a beautiful moment of vulnerability. 5/5

Best Line: Truly a lot of great stuff. I love the minor circus theme sprinkled in throughout the album, including here with, “Come one, come all. It's happening again. The empathetic hunger descends.” But “And so a touch that was my birthright became foreign,” is so good, it makes me physically ill.

22. So High School- a classic Taylor Swift track list move is to whiplash the listener a bit after ripping their heart out with a drastic tone shift and “So High School” continues this time-honored tradition. It is a track full of ear worms and nostalgic soft rock sounds that make it sound like it’s a classic needle drop in a 2000’s rom com. She sounds like she’s having so much fun, and it’s infectious. I wouldn’t return to high school for a million dollars, but this song would have me throwing on a hoodie with the neck cut and rolling the waistband of my Soffe shorts in an instant! 4.5/5

Best Line: “I wanna find you in a crowd just to hide from you,” feels so perfectly high school to me. Honorary mention to “Truth, dare, spin bottles. You know how to ball, I know Aristotle. Brand new, full-throttle. Touch me while your bros play Grand Theft Auto” for being so funny. If you think those are dead serious lines meant to be taken at face value, that’s a skill issue.

23. I Hate It Here- Daydreamers will delight at this song’s beautiful imagery. The “Here” in the title can be anywhere. A bad date, a town you’ve outgrown, a bad time in your life. Criticism of the second verse was overblown upon the album release within context of the song, but it is a little clunky. I really love the flowing melody and glowing depictions of where she escapes to, but I don’t need the verses the way I do in many other songs on the album. 3.5/5

Best Line: “I hate it here so I will go to lunar valleys in my mind, when they found a better planet, only the gentle survived.”

24. thanK you aIMee - this is a cheeky little track about rising above the bullies. It’s catchy and fun enough, I think that’s the capitalization in the title is distracting a bit from the point. The song feels like a wink and a nudge while ultimately taking the high road and the title feels like a pointed barb. 3.5/5

Best Line: “But when I count the scars, there's a moment of truth. That there wouldn't be this if there hadn't been you.”

Are you an original album or anthology songs stan? Let me know in the comments!!

[bxngthedoldrums]

a petekey reading of so much (for) stardust

aka you knew i'd do this aka i didnt take four literature classes in college for nothing aka make sure your tinfoil hat is SECURED to your noggin aka dear lord forgive me for committing sins of petekey in the year of 2023

look. i have to do this or i don't deserve this blog. amen

~ love from the other side

okay. yea, immediately the "you were the sunshine of my lifetime" thing is sort of sus, because we all know pete wentz and anytime sun or summer is involved it's Something. this is solidified in "summer falling through our fingers again" in verse 2, but it's interesting that he uses "ours" in this lyric bc i feel like recently most of pete's summer lyrics have been pretty self-inflicted. it's impossible to not note the whole "inscribed like stone and faded by the rain" in the bridge v. "the tombstones were waiting" line in bang the doldrums. i shant even elaborate u can pick up what i'm laying down!

~ heartbreak feels so good

i think this song is pretty light on petekey imagery but "light from a screen of messages unsent" kinda reminds me of "some nights it gets so bad i almost pick up the phone" in ginasfs but i could be reaching for Sure. let's be real that's all i do

~ hold me like a grudge

honestly i think this is one of the worst petekey offenders on the album. this one had me gawking at my screen as i read the lyrics. "thaw out my freezer burn feelings for twenty summers" ??? be SERIOUS pete... "part-time soulmate, full-time problem" yeah I GET IT I GET IT !!! the whole thing reeks of 2005 summertime fling

~ fake out

"do you laugh about me whenever i leave?" bonkers ass line,,this reminds me of pete's lj writing in those years after 2005,,,"my mood board is just pictures of you, but i'm not sad anymore" YEAH. this is SO pete holy fuck. that classic wentz obsession,,"we did for futures that never came and for pasts that we're never gonna change" this line's got me on the fuckin FLOOR. also classic pete!!! his perchance for nostalgia is just insane and he really feels it huh

~ heaven, iowa

i dont even know how to get into this one. "kiss my cheek, baby, please/would you read my eulogy?" SICK and TWISTED evil!!! evil!!! "i will never ask you for anything except to dream sweet of me" jesus h christ the melancholy is off the charts but holy fuck this song is so,,,tender? i dont know wht to say but i know this was written w summer of love intention. i know this in my heart. "scar-crossed lovers, forever" OKAY I KNOW !!! this song is DEVASTATING verse 2 is fucked UP and the bridge is too!!! "closed my eyes inside your darkness and found your glow"???? i cantr og on

~ so good right now

i can't really discern any particularly petekey lyrics in this one right away but the whole "i cut myself down to be whatever you need me to be" is pretty fucking wild

~ i am my own muse

there's some really sad lyrics in this one ab the whole future-not-going-as-planned thing that comes up so frequently in pete's writing but honestly the whole "let's twist the knife again, twist the knife again like we did last summer" thing made my head explode. every lover's got a lil dagger in their hands!!!

~ flu game

im not gonna sit here and type out ths whole fucking song but oh my GOD bro. this song to me is a really nice callback to pete's older style of lyricism but that comes with the self-deprecation and all the other really sad shit. it's beautiful! it's horrible! i love it!!! its about mikey i cant even pul out a few lyrics just LISTEN

~ baby annihilation

another fucked up one that literally anyone else in fob should have vetoed but OKAY?? "time is luck and i wish ours overlapped more or for longer" MAN SHUT UP. "self sabotage at best, under your spell/but you know what they say, if you want a job done right, you gotta do it yourself" ..........dude. if you're like me and you've poured over pete's oooold lj posts from the mid 2000s you already get it, but if you havent,,,go do it and get back to me bc this is TOO MUHC im unwell. "what is there between us if not a little annihilation?" i think i hauve covid

~ the kintsugi kid (ten years)

this song is really fucking sad actually. there's so much fear of being forgotten on this album and it's showcased really beautifully in this song,,,mayhaps not the most obviously petekey song but god damn

~ what a time to be alive

this song's about covid and quarantine n it's pretty easy on the whole suffering from a fling in 2005 thing! good job pete and fob

~ so much (for) stardust

this song is kinda suspicious but there's very few lines that really solidify it as a petekey song,,, altho "i think i've been going through it, and ive been putting your name through it" is a really interesting lyric. and OF COURSE, "in another life, you were my babe/in another life, you were the sunshine of my lifetime" happy xmas war is over

Golden

Golden and Fine Line are the bookends of the album and written first. Golden is so joyous, but also asking his muse to let him in, in Fine Line they cross the friendship line and the album ends on an uncertain note but 'we'll be alright'.

I have watched this video more than I'll ever admit, I love it so much. This section where he's running as hard as he can to catch up to her:

This is similar to this part of As it was, it tells of their break ups, hook ups, careers happen and he loses her, stops trying to catch up and runs alone, devastated (before he lets go of the past and dances off):

The film clip was in September 2020, 2 years after writing the song.

Writing

To Rolling Stone:

That places it around September 2018, after he broke up with Camille and the events of Fine Line(/Cruel Summer.)

To Zane Lowe, Harry said he started with an idea for the album but not the release date in mind. Harry talked about having a plan for future albums but he took Tyler's advice to make Fine Line the record he wanted to make now as opposed to what was planned. This is interesting because:

October 2012 - While they were dating, the Red Liner notes foreshadow a future album that included 'love shines golden'

August 2019 - Lover is released on the 13th year of her career, before her 30th birthday, ending on "Love is Golden like Daylight"

13 December 2019 - on Taylors 30th Birthday Fine Line is released, opening with 'You're so Golden, take me back to the light'.

Lyrics

[Intro] Hey! [Verse 1] Golden, golden, golden as I open my eyes Hold it, focus, hoping, take me back to the light I know you were way too bright for me I'm hopeless, broken, so you wait for me in the sky Brown my skin just right You're so golden

In the first verse is depicted in the film clip, working as hard as he can to win back this person with his own success and love for them. He often describes his muse as in the sky (here), chasing clouds (Story of my Life, Late night talking MV) and "I'm on the roof, you're in your airplane seat" in Daylight, also that MV has him climbs down a ladder in the sky.

[Verse 2] I don't wanna be alone I don't wanna be alone when it ends Don't wanna let you know I don't wanna be alone But I can feel it take a hold (I can feel it take a hold) I can feel you take control (I can feel you take control) Of who I am, and all I've ever known Lovin' you's the antidote Golden

The second verse is moving from desiring the muse to being vulnerable, As it was is more direct on this saying that "In this world, it's just us / You know it's not the same as it was" which means this muse is the only person for him. To me, that person is Taylor and there is an overtone of being isolated by fame here and finding someone who feels like home in an unmanageable life.

Thank you @womanexile for highlighting Anitdote which Harry refers to in:

Every since New York: " Choose your words 'cause there's no antidote / For this curse. Oh, what's it waiting for?"

Daylight: "You got the antidote / I'll take one to go, go, please"

And in One Directions End of the Day also likened being apart as an illness " You're the one that I want at the end of the day / She said the night was over, I said it's forever/ 20 minutes later, wound up in the hospital / The priest thinks it's the devil, my mum thinks it's the flu / But, girl, it's only you"

[Chorus] You're so golden I don't wanna be alone You're so golden You're so golden I'm out of my head, and I know that you're scared Because hearts get broken [Bridge] (Golden, golden, golden, golden)x7 I know that you're scared because I'm so open

I think Fine Line overall, and Harry's House to a greater degree show maturing. When talking to Zane about Cherry Harry said: "In the moment I felt like I was realizing some stuff about being more open and not being, like 'I don't care'".

I think, where the 1D songs are about young love and the debut songs are like an open wound - it is not until Fine Line he started to look with some distance on what was lost.

So I’ve been going through a Little Mix revival lately and when I got to the Glory Days album I couldn’t help but think if bandmember yn helped write some stuff for the girls, the album came out in late 2016 so she would’ve had some time after the break at the start of the year to get involved before heading to Jamaica with H for HS1

first off: as you should

second: she totally did, those girls are her sisters so it was super duper fun to help produce some of their songs. Little Mix was also one of yn's biggest clients (aside from h of course) that she first got hired for as a producer. not to mention how much all the girls live for harmonies

Salute 2013

Move: YN's first song with the girls which she not only helped produced but was featured in.

Weird People 2015

The End: YN wrote about her ex boyfriend she had during 1d and was the first song she produced/vocal arranged in full accapella

Glory Days 2016:

Shout Out To My Ex: just a good ol' poppy break up song that my or may not have been inspired by a certain ex 1d band member

F.U. : not only was yn's pen game was strong on this one -> "A, B, C, D, E, F.U." (um aRE YEH KIDDIN ME?!) but her vocal arrangements for this one was one of her favorites.

Power: it's songs like these that makes yn feel like a badass being surrounded by strong women. AND to have Stormzy (one of her favorite rappers) feature in on it later on was something she crossed off of her bucket list

Beep Beep: the guitar playing in this song was yn

LM5 2018:

Woman Like Me: if this song isn't about yn literally explaining her on and off relationship with H during this time then i don't know what is

Strip: one of yn's favorites (she also made a cameo in the music video, dancing and singing with her step mum, Penny)

Joan of Arc: another song that she helped write that made her feel like a badass. Like while LM was in the recording room singing the bridge and the harmonies for it, yn was on the other side of the glass dancing and hyping them UP. I'm talking up on the couch pressed against the wall, arms in the air, hips swiveling and screaming the lyrics back.

Wasabi: a fun, sassy bop. enough said.

Motive: a song that the LM girls let yn have creative freedom for how the track was going to sound and she really popped OFF

Notice: a sexy bop with a sexy bridge.

The Cure: this was a song she really collaborated with the most with the girls on an intimate level. it has such a powerful message that they all agreed was important to share and an experience they've all lived through being their line of work

Confetti 2020:

Sweet Melodies: yn was mainly in charge of their vocal arrangements for this song

Rendezvous: a song wrote and gave to the girls inspired by her and h's secret relationship before it was exposed.

Bounce Back: a fun, sassy bop #2

Breathe: the song may or may not have a snip bit of harry yelling "hey!"...yeah yn had a blast when the fandom went crazy and claimed that it was him and the LM girls were denying it every chance they got

Since 2010 Masterlist
