dear lover,

Autumn seemed to arrive suddenly that year. The morning of the first September was crisp and golden as an apple.

no but evermore as a concept of healing is my favorite thing ever.....like she released a gentler companion to the album that talks about bleeding scars and rage and hurt and regret and betrayal and it's so 🥺 🥺 thinking about cardigan and willow being the lead singles where the first one tells you that folklore is all about heartbreak and chasing ghosts but then willow is an assurance that evermore is about finding someone who is real and letting your faith in them guide you through your life.......hoax literally being the saddest song to conclude folklore with but evermore.mp3 still mentioning a positive influence somebody can have on you even when you're buried neck deep in negativity (in the cracks of light i dreamed of you) like hoax is endless hurt and a desperation to cling to someone for security but evermore.mp3 offers hope and acknowledges the fact that she did cling to someone for support and they made it out together.......evermore being representative of 'long story short i survived' when preceded by folklore is the prettiest happy ending i could hope for <3
