For the alchemy, I’m still convinced it’s a Travis song. I think the “coming back around” is her speaking about how he wanted to say hi to her at her Kansas City show and she turned him down but then he spoke about it on his podcast and was mature and understanding about her not seeing people backstage so she decided to give him a chance and come back around to Kansas City.
GUILTY AS SIN? SUPREMACY THAT SONG IS EVERYTHING
Just remembered to comment this BUT SARA, PITBULL IS GOING ON TOUR!!!!🎉🎉🎉
I've been waiting for this since the album dropped😂❤
Literally same
I don’t know if you guys have fathomed yet but Taylor says Sara AND Destiny in BUT DADDY I LOVE HIM!!
wait this is crazy
that’s seriously iconic
I would make this my whole personality
@@thelma1 same 👀
YES HAHA i was screaming at des when she said her name was in a song and it was the one they were talking about
What I saw for the alchemy lyric “he jokes that it’s heroin but this time with an E” is that Matty was addicted to drugs so he could never love her as much as he loves drugs. So then when Travis jokes he’s addicted to heroine he means he’s in awe of the woman taylor is and his “addiction” is her!
The line before says we've been on a winning streak so I think Travis is joking that what is causing him to play better is Heroine (Taylor) instead of Heroin (performance-enhancing drugs).
book swifites how are we feeling😅😆
we love it here😉
Tortured 😂
i’m feeling…so high school🌼
down bad 😭😂
Feeling let down by these reviews 😅😅
my favourite analysis about the alchemy I've seen is that it's about the fans. bc the eras tour happens in football stadiums. she talks about being back after a while (she hasn't toured since rep), circling us on a map (all the stops on the tour), sign on your heart (us holding up heart hands). the stuff about the past being forgiven feels like she saying I still love us even if she was upset about fan behaviour. I do think some of it is also about Travis too but I don't think it's Matty bc by that point in the album weve gone through the smallest man who ever lived she's done with him
i am a 1975 stan, and i was there at the manila concert when matty healy did the whole "this song is about you. you know who you are, i love you." thing and when i tell you that i was just as gobsmacked that this album was about him. jaw? on the floor
love how the pod is one hour, 13 minutes and 31 seconds 🤭
No bc we don’t talk about Clara Bow enough. It’s the only song that genuinely made me cry. It deserves so much more hype.
With Sarah j Maas posting guilty as sin. I feel like she also loves to hint and she’s writing the next ACOTAR and the fact that she said it was a special gift. But if you read the lyrics just with it being in her head and almost kiss and touch it is so Elain and Azriel coded
“down bad crying at the gym” 🤝 playing in front of boyfriend
when i tell you i’ve been waiting for this as long as i’ve been waiting for Tortured Poets..
I've been waiting for this all week😂😂 I'm so ready to compare TTPD notes
I’ve been looking forward to this all week!!!
I’ve been waiting ALL week i’m so excited
I took the lyric in The Alchemy "hey you what if I told you we're cool, that child's play back in school is forgiven under my rule" as a reference to the kiss, marry, kill interview that she explicitly references in So High School. I think she's referring to the kiss, marry, kill game as "childs play" (because it's a game a lot of us played back in school) and she's joking with him saying he's forgiven because he didn't choose her to marry
Have been waiting this whole week for this episode to come out. Soooo excited❤
This is the most excited for an episode I’ve ever been!
speaking of magnolia parks parallels fortnight is so julian haites coded!! also imgonnagetyouback is very magnoliabj, from the first line (lilac short skirt)
A bestie trip for next episode!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 im so ready
Screamed because Sara’s 16th is my #1. But it’s exactly what y’all said about how you relate to different songs. I’m a teacher who is burnt out and wanted to quit every day this so it literally feels like my life right now and I felt so seen.
YAY i’m literally at school having the worst day and i saw u guys post thank you so much girlies i’m gonna feel so much better ☺️☺️💖🫶🏼
I’ve been waiting for this one! Turn it up!
i’ve been waiting very impatiently for this
I’ve been waiting for this one!!
Excited and ready to listen 🎧🤗
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS EPISODEEEE
“The Blue Nile” is the band that sings “Downtown Lights”
She’s talking about listening to ‘Blue Nile’ and that someone sent her downtown lights
Oh , I’m tuned : the second half is legit poetry and I need to hear everyone’s takeaways !!
THE ONE WEVE BEEN WAITING FOR
This episode is gonna be everything I already know it. Best album ever made. I just hope she releases a vinyl for The Anthology.
For the February comment - I always think of it personally as how drawn out February seems and it's like the last month before spring and warmer weather and even though it's the shortest month it always seems the longest (at least for me) waiting for spring to break and depression to clear
I been waiting for this oneeee
Ahh I’ve been waiting for this video since TPD dropped 😍
Des & Sara should try crumble cookies of the week and review them! 🍪💗
The 'loml' being lowercase is a reference to the 1975, also same Sara. I was like no they didn't date and now Taylor has proven me wrong lol.
Oh yea and Aussie here, I got the first drop at 2pm and second at 4pm lol, was so perfect!
so long london is so good, the lyrics were insane
So excited for this!!!!
Down bad is my #1, it’s all vibes. Also the fact that my top 5 is almost opposite of yalls, that just goes to show how the same song can affect people differently.
My top 6
1. Down Bad
2. Fortnight
3. Tortured Poets Dept
4. Who’s afraid of little old me
5. So long, London
6. My boy only breaks his favorite toys.
I really want to deep dive into Guily as Sin and the Smallest Man who ever lived after hearing y’all rave about them.
Same!!
I am suspecting a Sara and Des reunion for the Anthology episode 🥰
YESSS
I was coming here to say that! And Haley
There’s also a video circulating where he is at a show and he talks to the camera and says like this song is about you, you know who you are I love you. And then at one of her eras shows in the beginning she literally says the same thing. So they were sending love messages during their shows.
i have been waiting for this ep since the album came out ahhhhh
I was on a train the day it came out for two hours I kid you not it was the best way to experience it for the first time
Des, since you love Guilty as sin as it deserves, such a good song! Do some of the lyrics remind you of dress?
The Blue Nile mentioned in ”Guilty as Sin” is a band and Downton Lights is one of their songs. Matty Healy is a big fan of them. 🤓
swifties 🤝 book girlies
We love this (: ❤❤❤
me and sara are on the same wave length with the top 5, just in a different order i love the slow songs too and IM SENSING A BOOK GIRLIES EPISODE NEXT WEEK AND CANT WAIT FOR UNGUYS TO BE BACK TOGETHER
shout out sara for the loml love - that song is so heartbreaking and beautiful
WAS WAITING FOR THIS
I did my homework 🫡
Also Sarah side note I like to add a little bit of chai to my matcha!! It sounds crazy but it’s soooo yummy
Okay but there definitely will be a 3rd drop bc if you look at "TTPD" logo thing, it has a roman numeral 3... 👀
Literature lovers + Swifties = lifties
That´s funny! Good Luck, Babe is also the song that starts playing right after The Manuscript every time on my Spotify:D
I’m EATING THIS UP
omg are they going to be together for next weeks pod?!?!
Apple Music always has the lyrics right away, it's true! That's how I listen always.
i loved the ambum honestly im singuing it daily wile im distracted, i love "Who's Afraid of little old me"
I feel like alchemy is about multiple things.
First verse is her going back into touring
Second verse is her coming back to matty
Third verse, bridge and outro is about travis
gonna put my top 5 on the standard album because why not!
1. who's afraid of little old me
2. but daddy i love him
3. loml
4. my boy only breaks his favourite toys
5. guilty as sin (tied with so long london)
Let's goooo!!!🎉
One of my least fav. albums honestly, but was still waiting for your video and thoughts!!!! Cant wait for next week!!
Finally 🤩🤩
been thinking about the alchemy and i think it is a travy song. i think the blokes warm the benches because her and travis are together and she usually dates british men and the “he jokes that its heroin with an E” because matty was obsessed with drugs but now it’s travis and he’s obsessed with her the heroine
are you guys gonna be together for next weeks episode???
omg i can do it with a broken heart its my fav song, those 4 and 5 were so heartbreaking
i've also been getting the crumbl videos des, there was literally one cookie i loved and the 5 others i tried were mid
Me and Des almost have the same order of TTPD!!
Tbh I don’t believe any of these songs are just about one thing/person. I think it’s partly about the men in her life-Joe, Matty, Travis, John, etc-, partly about her career, partly about her fans & partly about her haters. I don’t think you can pinpoint specifically what one song is about, with the exception of the very obvious thanK you, aIMee lmao. I think each song is an amalgamation of everything she’s been through since the start of her career. “Bygones will be bygone, eras fadin’ into gray” likely means this album-which is very gray in every sense of the word-is a synthesis of all of her past eras. She’s addressing all of her past, putting it all out there & saying “bygones will be bygones, I’m done will all that bs, that MANUSCRIPT is no longer my story, from this point forward, I’m gonna write a new story”
For example, “I keep these longings locked in lowercase inside a vault” isn’t just about whoever the main person she’s talking about in Guilty As Sin?. Let’s not forget that reputation is in lowercase & we don’t have the vault tracks for that album yet.
I definitely don’t think, “All of those nights you kept me going, swirled you into all my poems. Now we’re at the starting line, I did my time.” is simply alluding to her writing about Matty Healy in her past songs. I think that’s literally her talking to all of the men who have made her feel like she’s special, made her feel like she’s finally found the love of her life only for them to break her heart; therefore, she has to go back to “the starting line” after doing her “time” w them & go back to trying to find her person. It’s about every single man who’s managed to trap her into a relationship (aka the slammer) but not actually live up to their promises.
This album is the best she’s done lyrically bc it’s a complete story from top to bottom. I can’t accept that anything is as straightforward as “that song’s definitely about Matty”. I think she’s just using Matty as the metaphor for every one who’s fucked her over. Literally almost every single guy she’s dated apart from Travis & Taylor Lautner can be a member of the Tortured Poets Department bc most of them give off that tortured artist vibe. Tom Hiddleston literally a degree in Classics. John Meyer, Joe Jonas, & Matty are singer/songwriters. Jake is an actor. Joe is a depressed actor. Now that she’s dating a jock, someone so far removed from a tortured poet, I feel like she’s also saying “wow, ok, I think I’m done with tortured artist type” 😂
Also, I just have to add that I don’t think that she didn’t talk about Joe enough in this album. I think she dissed him in a more subtle way. “Quick, quick tell me something awful like you’re a poet trapped inside the body of a finance guy” after saying “what a valiant roar, what a bland goodbye” is basically her saying he was boring & made her feel so uninspired towards the end of their relationship. Like, he wanted to be a tortured artist so badly but he was too vanilla. She couldn’t even write a whole album about the whole breakup of their 6 year relationship bc it was so anticlimactic (How Did It End?)
I envied Rachel so much when I saw in her vlog that TTPD released at like 2 pm in Australia ! In France it was 6 in the morning 😭
Does no one else think of Magnolia Parks series while listening to Fortnight?🎀💙
yes!! especially with the talk about jealousy over other relationships and the asking about the weather!! but it also reminds me so much of julian since his relationship with magnolia was so brief and now they're more like neighbours now even though that time meant so much to him
DESTINY my Spotify plays good luck babe too!!!!! Every time
STOP THIS ARE YOU GUYS GETTING TOGETHER IRL. STOP IM GOING TO DIE. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASEEE BE GETTING TOGETHER, MY ENTIRE YEAR WOULD BE MADE, ITS BEEN 4 MONTHS SINCE WE HAD A GET TOGETHER AND WE NEED ITT!!
Me and Sara with the sad songs 🤝❤️🩹
this might be reaching but february is the shortest month of the year and it's the month of love and fortnight is about this love that was so brief but ended up causing so much pain
Sara!! Let me put you on: Pique Life matcha, Chobani sweet cream, Califia almond milk!! I make this every day and put my collagen peptides in too its so 😋
wait what song did she say destiny?

12:07 bro fr😭😭😭
Not me wanting the lyrics so bad in my Spotify during the release
Guilty as sin reminds me of ACOTAR!
4 and 5 out of 10 for I Can Do It With A Broken Heart??!!! This song is probably my favorite
I love But Daddy I Love Him 😭
TTPD ranking:
1. Loml
2. So long London
3. I can do it with a broken heart
4. The tortured poets department
5. The smallest man who ever lived
6. Clara bow
7. Guilty as sin
8. Fortnight
9. But daddy I love him
10. The alchemy
11. Florida!!
12. I can fix him
13. Down bad
14. Whose afraid of little old me
15. Fresh out the slammer
16. My boy only breaks his favourite toys
YES FRESH OUT THE SLAMMER SO LANA coded
I made a connection between in loml when she says, “I thought I was better safe than starry eyed” and in TSMWEL she says “gazing at me starry eyed”. Could be a reach, but I kinda thought she’s saying she thought she was better staying with Joe and being in a “safe” relationship rather than risking it all “being starry eyed” with Matty since he’s a controversial person. Just my thoughts. 🤷🏻♀️👀
1:06:01 I think it’s Travs pov: maybe not his words but his pov. Basically saying he’s won and none of those other guys stood a chance and he’s the guy anyone would have to beat. Taylor is the trophy and more important that the Super Bowl win lolol. But that’s just my delulu friend group interpretation.
Bless..💜
Down Bad and loml are my top 2.
❤❤❤
I can fix him is probably my favorite on the entire album!!! I think it only hits for girls who can relate to being in love with that kind of man hahahah
Isn’t February the month of love? Idk I thought that’s what they refer to lol
Part oneee….
We LOVE girls being girls!!!
I thought she and Matt "dated" for like 2 mins I mean 2 weeks, but so much we didn't know. Made for some great songs!
Guys “destiny” and “sara” is in daddy I love him❤❤❤❤
OMGGG
