What is it with Taylor, a yellow dress, a piano and deciding to kill us all

randy newman telling taylor she wrote a hell of a song 🥹

the concept of taylor carrying around her original vhs of the first toy story and a sharpie at the premiere and getting the cast to sign it for her… she’s just so endearing

When you are young, they assume you know nothing but I knew you through the daze of the blades of the grass in summer. Cross your heart, won't tell no other. Parachutes for the free fall of being younger. Love you to the moon and to Saturn. I memorized the sound of your bare footsteps. Running wild, it's been a long time. Life has ways of leaving those days behind, but love has ways of bringing things back to life. Man, it's been a while, but I knew it, I knew you. And I knew you'd come back to me ‘cause I knew everything when I was young and just like a folk song, our love will be passed on.

The funny thing about people acting like Taylor had lost all of her songwriting abilities when showgirl came out is that she put out the most eloquent, lyrically dense 31-track album the year before. She put out songs that said things like “say it once again with feeling how the death rattle breathing silenced as the soul was leaving, the deflation of our dreaming leaving me bereft and reeling, my beloved ghost and me sitting in a tree d-y-i-n-g” the year before and people thought her songwriting abilities had just vanished? God forbid a woman want to have fun and write something campy after pouring out her deepest, darkest secrets

AND I REMEMBERED I LOVED YOU!! CAME BACK WHEN IT MATTERED!! I SAW YOU!!! STANDING THERE IN THE LIGHT OF THE WINDOW!!! WEARING THAT SAME SMILE!!!!!! MAN ITS BEEN A WHILE!!!!! I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW YOU!!!!
