I really feel like so long london is the track five because it is the only song on the standard that is unambiguously about joe. it's the context we need to understand the story of the rest of the album, the unhealed wound that fueled her manic summer fling. the story is incomplete without it, and because I think it is the core wound, it really does become central to the emotional narrative. you don't get to loml or smallest man without first experiencing so long london. so I think that's why it's the track five. It feels like it was her way of saying "look this was the real problem for all that time, this is what I was really failing to deal with, this is what I was most upset about." Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know her, but that's my interpretation of at least the story of the album.
I didn’t even notice! I skip over the song Evermore every time, I forgot there’s a title track on that album. I can’t stand that guy’s voice. 😵 Only time I’ve heard it all the way through was when she played it at The Eras Tour.
I think So Long, London is more vulnerable than loml because there is more depth of emotions in it. There’s sadness, hurt, anger, and there is also acceptance and hope all in one song. loml is good too obviously, but it’s flat emotionally. it’s just heartbreaking and sad
Fortnight: 7:09 TTPD: 8:40 Mbobhft: 11:35 Down bad: 13:07 So long London: 14:25 But daddy I love him: 16:40 Fresh out the slammer: 18:35 Florida!!!!: 19:53 Guilty as sin?: 21:17 Who’s afraid of little old me?: 24:19 I can fix him (nric): 25:40 Loml: 26:23 I can do it with a broken heart: 28:24 Tsmwel: 29:50 The alchemy: 31:54 Clara bow: 33:35 Pin?
Peter really resonates with me. I turn it on and as soon as the piano starts, I'm tearing up (but in a good way). I haven't seen many people talking about it so I was excited to see you mention it!
I appreciate how you tie in a bit more than just the ranking here... I really enjoy when you put on your english lit. hat and break things down. The lyrics always have so much to unpack, and you always seem to have interesting things to add, and perspective that are insightful.
Love u, love seeing new ttpd videos!! - evermore is a title track, the disrespect lmao /lh - the smallest man who ever lived will always be god tier to me. It’s such a specific type of anger that she tapped into- the feeling of ultimate betrayal where you can't decide if you want to scream or cry so you have to do both.
Rankings never bother me because everyone has their own opinions so I’ve never been want to get bent out of shape over them. Part two would be interesting. I can’t believe it’s been out for two months already!
ICDIWABH lyrics are written with pitch black ink from her veins. But jack definitely produced it with a rainbow/glitter production table and a touch of confetti.
Unpopular opinion- Down Bad is my most skipped song on the album. Don't come for me. SLL, loml, My Boy, Black Dog, WAOLOM, they are my vibe of the 31 and really are my most repeated.
It always makes me so happy when you are uploading a new video, because then I can just relax and reload my social battery ❤ Thanks and love from Germany
I think, the reason why loml and The Smallest Man were not track 5 is because, there's a story in the end loml - heartbreak from Joe I Can Do It - going through the process of two heartbreak The Smallest Man - heartbreak from Matty, (that's also maybe the reason why I Can Do It is in the middle) The Alchemy - like moving on with someone(arguably about Travis, arguably) Clara Bow - an ending, about the start of her career But could just be me And since they're in the end, naturally, they can't be at track 5
Ahh, i love these videos! The one thing i would recommend is completely deep diving on the so long london lyrics because before I did this, it was a skip for me, but now it's my favorite on the album.
so long london is so sad and relatable for me (except it is not london but another city😅), I cry when I listen to it, I think it is one of my favorite from the album.
So like ik that like everyone is on and off about so long london for a track 5 but i think not all track fives have to be the saddest song but the ones that spill the tea i guess and i really like it the only other option i guess for track 5 would be the smallest man who ever lived. This is just my opinion, no judgment and i would love to see your thoughts on it.
People who think So Long, London isn't a "real" track 5 only do so because of the production, it is SUCH a vulnerable and personal song it baffles me people don't think so. These two parts make it a perfect track 5 alone: "And you say I abandoned the ship But I was going down with it My white knuckle dying grip Holding tight to your quiet resentment and My friends said it isn't right to be scared Every day of a love affair Every breath feels like rarest air When you're not sure if he wants to be there" "You swore that you loved me but where were the clues? I died on the altar waiting for the proof You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days And I'm just getting color back into my face I'm just mad as hell cause I loved this place" Like WHAT? Some of her most beautifully heart wrenching and vulnerable lyrics about the end of her longest and most serious relationship.
I think this album came out at the perfect time for me, I had just cut contact with my ex and it was SO cathartic to hear these songs... and then to go to the eras tour and hear The Manuscript live? It was just so relatable, I love it
My Love Story songs on the standard album are So Long London and Guilty As Sin (Why would you put So Long London in dust? That makes me so mad). On The Anthology my Love Story songs are How Did It End?, The Prophecy, and The Manuscript. You should also make a Gracie album reaction video when her album comes out!!! 🤍
2 unpopular opinions: 1. so long london is really cathartic to me. sometimes I need a good cry and I’ll go listen to it and scream the lyrics. 2. the first time I heard guilty as sin I thought it was so boring, I was impressed the fandom loved it. it has grown a little on me but I don’t like it as much as others. If I listen to it it’s probably gonna be in a remix by velino (really popular on tiktok and made in brazil)
What is cathartic to me is that I have seen the Poets Era in the Tour before the Nina “The Taylor Swift Encyclopaedia” Shelby has. That makes the songs hit different to me now. My show (Edinburgh N2) had these surprise songs: 🎸 The Bolter x Getaway Car 🎹 All The Girls You Loved Before x Crazier I hope we are still able to talk after those songs. I manifested Getaway Car as I have that on the back of my car with a Vinyl Decal. I feel that Taylor will do a musical on her music in next few years or so. There’s so much of it that it would make a great 3.5 hours Broadway or West End show. One that could be toured or placed in theatres world wide. Singing would be encouraged!!!
Oh you have to do a ranking of every Taylor Swift song (there's a ready made one on there too), I find those super interesting because there are so many songs and opinions always differ wildly
I love so long London but I totally agree with nena. I think loml or even who’s afraid of little old me would have been a good track 5 BUT……….I still love so long London
I was gonna say something about evermore, but I saw your apology, it’s okay. Everybody makes mistakes. XD. Okay actual opinions! I agree with the Guilty as Sin? of it all and Clara Bow and the Alchemy!!!! Like those three, we have pretty much the same thoughts on. Can’t wait for part 2, which you should obviously do!
rly wanna see this video.... are there any "spoilers" for the eras tour set? I have not seen anything from the new segment and dont want to know anything before i wittness it myself :)
ahhh omg i'm so early!!!! ilysm nena i've been watching you since your folklore guitar tutorials i love you so much ur definitely one of my fav youtubers of all time
Omg So Long London, FLAT? I died a little. Seriously, just once again for the people in the back: "you said I abandoned the ship, but I was going down with it, my white knuckle dying grip..." It's the closure we need, so track 5. Of course track 5. The video is amazing apart from that 😅
Fresh out the slammer is my favorite song from TTPD. Also I started playing guitar recently, my dad got one for me and him to share last week. I've been wanting to learn guitar for a while because I've been writing songs since November 2022 and I've been wanting to have music with my songs. Once I've learned some chords (I've learned a couple already but I'm working on some more) I'm going to check out some more of your Taylor swift song tutorials. I've checked out a few but I can't play them yet. 😂
For Florida!!! when you actually live in Florida it just... hits different lol. And Florence's part is HILARIOUS to me... it's giving "making fun of Floridians having hurricane parties and not giving any fucks" vibes and ofc she sings so beautifully
Don’t be afraid Nena- opinions SHOULD be different, how boring if we all liked the same songs. My favs are “Smallest Man” & “Who’s Afraid”, thanks for sharing girl! 🩶🩶🩶
I DIDN'T OPT IN TO BE YOUR ODD MAN OUT, I FOUNDED THE CLUB SHE'S HEARD GREAT THINGS ABOUT... AND I'M PISSED OFF YOU LET ME GIVE YOU ALL THAT YOUTH FOR FREE (I had to get that off my chest, that is all)
With the track 5 being either sll or loml I think she made the right choice because choosing sll kind of starts making the album more sad but if loml was it would’ve just been a plummet especially after down bad and Mbobhft
I think Guilty as Sin...? is Swiftie's overall favorite song from what I've seen and heard. 1. Love that Carolina has a line "guilty as sin" so it connects those songs. 2. "I keep these longings locked in lowercase inside a vault" always has my mind racing like... WHERE TAYLOR!?
To me So Long, London production sounds like sprinting away from a relationship that was holding you back for so long. If you listen to music while you work out then i think it's a great song to run to. honestly it makes sense to have So Long, London as track 5 because if loml or Smallest Man Who Ever Lived was track 5 it makes no sense to have But Daddy I Love Him follow that you know? BDILH _has_ to be the track 6 because the best bops always follow track 5s and So Long London has no other place on the album that makes sense
I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE FOR THE EVERMORE ERASURE ITLL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN😭
ITS OKAY GIRLIE WE FORGIVE YOU
OMG IM SORRY GIRLY😭
Its okay it happens
OMG GURLLL DONT WORRY WE AREN'T GONNA BE MAD 🤍 DONT YOU WORRY YOUR PRETTY LITTLE MIND, NINA
Its fine nena upur still great

Totally agree.
I agree i feel like track 5s are the ones that give the tea and dont always have to be the saddest song i guess
this is _exactly_ how i feel lol
absolutely agree. dare i say its her best track 5 out of them all
@@bruce3200 i think yoyok is still better 😭

same!!
Peter really resonates with me. I turn it on and as soon as the piano starts, I'm tearing up (but in a good way). I haven't seen many people talking about it so I was excited to see you mention it!
So long London is like one of my fav songs on the album!
ME TOO I LOVE IT SO MUCHHH

I completely agree about the smallest man who ever lived! I sometimes skip the verses to get straight to the bridge😅
The so long London disrespect is crazy
Finally I found someone who actually likes MBOBHFT! Its my favourite one from the initial album, but I find that it gets forgotten a lot
Me too, I love My boy, I can't stop listening to it, singing it, playing it, it's so goooood!❤
can’t wait for part two🤭
My favorite line in BDILH is also “he was chaos he was revelry”!!
I thought it was so random but I’m glad you can relate haha
Also please do part 2!!!
i screamed when i saw this. LOVE U NINA!!
Taylor Swift has a title track for evermore
the voice cracks in SO LONG, LONDON always makes me cry and its her most vulnerable song writing imo
I was waiting to hear what nena had to say for so longgggg!!!!
I’m scared to watch this you better not betray so long London, Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus, or how did it end

i’m so sorry bestie 🥲💔

I think, the reason why loml and The Smallest Man were not track 5 is because, there's a story in the end
loml - heartbreak from Joe
I Can Do It - going through the process of two heartbreak
The Smallest Man - heartbreak from Matty, (that's also maybe the reason why I Can Do It is in the middle)
The Alchemy - like moving on with someone(arguably about Travis, arguably)
Clara Bow - an ending, about the start of her career

Only on #5 and you've hit my exact thoughts so far.

Channeling Post Malone when busting out those Guilty as Sin dance moves.
guilt as sin is my fav
My top three on this album is
1. imgonnagetyouback
2. Loml
3. Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus
Maybe even top three on all the albums😅
We love the TTPD cardigan 🫶
my most favorite song of all is Fortnight. But I love the rest of the songs.
For Florida!!! when you actually live in Florida it just... hits different lol. And Florence's part is HILARIOUS to me... it's giving "making fun of Floridians having hurricane parties and not giving any fucks" vibes and ofc she sings so beautifully

THE BOLTER GUITAR TUTORIAL PLEASE
I want a part 2!!
here’s a hot take- so long london should be track 1
With the track 5 being either sll or loml I think she made the right choice because choosing sll kind of starts making the album more sad but if loml was it would’ve just been a plummet especially after down bad and Mbobhft
I think Guilty as Sin...? is Swiftie's overall favorite song from what I've seen and heard.
1. Love that Carolina has a line "guilty as sin" so it connects those songs.
2. "I keep these longings locked in lowercase inside a vault" always has my mind racing like... WHERE TAYLOR!?
loml just feels like it should be at the end of the album
To me So Long, London production sounds like sprinting away from a relationship that was holding you back for so long. If you listen to music while you work out then i think it's a great song to run to. honestly it makes sense to have So Long, London as track 5 because if loml or Smallest Man Who Ever Lived was track 5 it makes no sense to have But Daddy I Love Him follow that you know? BDILH _has_ to be the track 6 because the best bops always follow track 5s and So Long London has no other place on the album that makes sense

Love this I agree with it and so long London you put it at the spot where I would have put it 🌸🌸🌸🤍🤍🤍🤍
I preferred the Anthology for weeks but now appreciate the standard edition more.
Omg I love guilty as sin sooooo much it’s my absolute fav on TTPD ❤
plz stop the so long london slander. that’s my favorite song on the album and i relate to it so much.
