"do it scared" is valuable advice but it'd also be SIIIICK and AWESOME if it stopped being scary at some point. any point

girl shocked to discover that inaction can have consequences too

I hope it’s fucking diabolical in the black dog

Carly Simon writing You’re So Vain about such a specific man, yet including the line “you probably think this song is about you” so that if he took it personally he would prove her point? Unparalleled power move

I didn’t learn until about ten years ago that she wrote it about three different men. Even more of a power move. Because every single one of them would assume the song was about only him.

listening to an album you used to love but overplayed for yourself after a really long time after the overplayedness has worn off and it sounds like it's supposed to again is the closest to being in heaven you can get during your mortal life i think

you will say you had the best of intentions and maybe I will finally learn my lesson -> you’ll confess why you did it and I’ll say “good riddance”

Spotify wrapped time i can’t wait to be diagnosed with taylor swift disease again

"will you kiss me on the porch in front of all your stupid friends?" is one of my favorite parts of any song ever. how the instrumentation soars in the final chorus. the joy and determination and desperation in taylor's voice. the PLEA. the HOPE. the FEAR. the perfect teenage-ness of it all. how it immediately conjures up the image of the shocked faces of a bunch of 16 year olds vs the smile on james' face as they are kissing betty. the fantasy fully transports you into james' head, who has spent WEEKS imagining just this. and you are there with them, feeling all the things they are feeling too. GOD this song!!!!!

some royal jewels were stolen from the louvre which is unfortunate for historical reasons but you gotta appreciate a classic crime. so many crimes are online these days it’s nice to see heist culture is still alive

basically I accidentally listened to a song few years ago and it led to this
