      For verse 2 you wrote the timestamp 12:48 instead of 23:48. 🙂

    This is beautiful and a work of art in itself. I've always wanted to hear others talk about songs the way Eng Lit students would analyze literature and poetry. I am amazed someone put this much time and effort into it, and I want to give you my appreciation. This is a gift.

    Oh, my God! I always wanted Taylor to submit ‘ivy’ for SOTY in the Grammys. But after watching this, I now have confidence for ‘willow’ to win SOTY or even ROTY. Thank u so much for this in-depth analysis.

    i definitely think this song is autobiographicaly written AND should've been in reputation instead of evermore JUST BECAUSE the lyrics. plus, after watching mv i also listen willow as the protagonist wishes/manifests really beautiful relationship, a soulmate. they imagine it and create an epic love story in their head and when they turn back to reality they find out their soulmate sit there and wait for them to wake up and realize the soulmate they're trying to find is actually just there. or i don't know the protagonist shifts a place where they wanna find a soulmate. they fall in love, it's time to go to reality, but it doesn't work so the witches help the protagonist to turn back, the soulmate says "dont go" but the protagonist goes and when they turn back the soulmate in their shifting universe is actually real person. they meet each other. and start a beautiful relationship

    i love the way you describe all the presumption you thought that it could be possible. at fist i haven't watched the MV i thought this song was a sad song bc sea can be symbolize as sadness. and 'the more that you say the less i know' is like he deceives her in some way but she still love, trust and fallow him.
    i searched about this song analysis for long times and it's like you are the one who did😂 that's amazing. thank you for making this video!
    ps. sorry if my grammar is incorrect. i'm a foreigner and i'm not good at english that much😂♥️♥️

    loooved to listen to you interpet this song and so happy you're starting to do evermore songs! exciting!
    Your analysis really highlighted the progression of the lyrics for me, I don't think I'd realized how the balance of power gradually shifts as the song progresses and it's so interesting.
    I can't stop thinking about how Taylor described this song (in the youtube chat before the video dropped) as sounding "like casting a spell to make somebody fall in love with you." This might be a small thing but I just can't help reading the entire song through this lens: it's like the protagonist is desperately in love with this person who has all this control over her, and she ~works her magic~ to make him feel the same. so there's this weird witchy power play between them...

    • @summersentiment
      @summersentiment  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      aw thank you!! 😊
      yes!! thats such an interesting lens to view the song through, like she's SO intrigued by him she can't just sit back...she needs to take it into her own hands, it's a really interesting backdrop to the song and really fits the ~vibes~ of this album & folklore! thanks for your comment ✨

    Hi!! I just came across your channel and I love your in depth explanations! I always thought that she was describing an affair 🙈🙈 “meet me after dark” “….. I’d cheat to win” “every bait …. Art” meaning that she was not supossed to fall in love with him but she did

    Wow, I never knew I would know so much about a willow tree... So do you think James saw the light and finally came around .....not ....😄. Yes, the video does alter the way I would think of the song also. Anyway another great interp SS and look forward to your remaining vids on the Folklore album. Thanks again for doing these!

    • @summersentiment
      @summersentiment  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      LOL the willow tree symbolism was much more nuanced than anticipated 😂 haha i would never give james the credit!!
      thanks for your comment! ✨

    36:39 I urge you to look up the saying “bait and switch” in the context of relationships. Personally, I find it really interesting delving into the idea that this is a less optimistic song…

    “I'll meet you after dark” I guess is her wanting to keep their relationship away from the media, since she was unfair to Tom.
