Last Kiss (Taylor's Version) a Heartbreaking Letter

heartbreaking letter

"Last Kiss" was featured on Swift's Speak Now album and is rumored to have been written about her relationship with ex Joe Jonas.

The song is not just a simple nostalgic one, it is a pure declaration of love. The second group is one of the best romantic moments, how can you say I love you without saying I love you.

"I do recall now the smell of the rain
Fresh on the pavement, I ran off the plane
That July 9th, the beat of your heart
It jumps through your shirt, I can still feel your arms"

I think it's her saddest and purest song of heartbreak. As in almost all others, there is at least a little anger, assertiveness or hope, and this is completely defeated. From my point of view, Last Kiss is truly one of best songs of Taylor Swift. It's so heartbreaking. I really resonate with “And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe”, and also with

"You can plan for a change in weather and time

But I never planned on you changin' your mind"

I listened to this song on REPEAT for about 6 months after my last breakup because it really felt like it was us and everything I was going through at the time. It was comforting in a way.

I absolutely love Last Kiss! It's one of the most picturesque and heartbreaking songs... Every line is so broken and desolate... 

"I never thought we'd have a last kiss

I never imagined we'd end like this

Your name, forever the name on my lips" 

simply sums up the moment when you think someone will be with you forever and then he doesn't want you anymore and there's nothing you can do to miss him... Going through a break-up you feel all of these different things. You feel anger, and you feel confusion, and frustration.  This heartbreaking letter  is so raw.

American Idol Who Sings Glorious:

eras tour surprise song

If you've been a fan of Taylor for a while, you'll know that she always includes a surprise song or two in her tour set lists.  For this American Idol who sings glorious, the tradition goes all the way back to the World Tour, where she included the surprise covers she performed during that era.

In Stockholm, Sweden (May 19), the eras tour surprise song was "Message in a bottle"

It seems to me that in this song, we encounter a great enigma, namely what kind of bottle is being referred to. One full that we drink together and at the end discover a message, or an empty one into which we push a small scroll of paper on which we write a love poem or a cry for help.

Naturally, each option comes with a different mystery. In the first case, what is the beverage that fosters communion and deciphering messages, and in the second, what is the ocean or sea that separates us or on which we each wander separately?

It occurs to me that we allow ourselves to imagine only such messages as we need to survive.

If at some point London is brought into discussion, I would tie the subject to the Black Dog bar. Besides the fact that both occurrences seem to develop in the same city, it appears that in each song, there's talk of a message someone is waiting for or doesn't know they should seek.

“Why do so many people start their messages with, "It's me"? Of course it is you. We all know that. But who the hell ARE you?” This is the mission of eras tour surprise song to reveal us.

But the singer conforms to trends and confesses according to the template:

"I know that you like me

And it's kinda frightenin'

Standing here waitin', waitin'

And I became hypnotized

By freckles and bright eyes

Tongue tied"

Follows the location so we know exactly where we are transported by the eras tour surprise song:

"But now

You're so far away and I'm down

Feelin' like a face in the crowd

I'm reachin' for you, terrified"

And then why resort to this means of communication, namely the message in a bottle:

"'Cause you could be the one that I love

I could be the one that you dream of

Message in a bottle is all I can do

Standin' here, hopin' it gets to you (it gets to you)"

The conclusion of American Idol who sings glorious, is that a disaster awaits us:

"These days I'm restless

Work days are endless

Look how you've made me, made me

But time moves faster

Replaying your laughter

Disaster"

Even with all our technology and the inventions that make modern life so much easier than it once was, it takes just one big natural disaster to wipe all that away and remind us that, here on Earth, we're still at the mercy of nature.

Sweden: “gold rush” for Stockholm with Taylor Swift

Gold Rush lyrics

If I think about Taylor Swift's concerts in Sweden as part of the Eras Tour, two things come to mind: Stockholm Syndrome and the song "Gold Rush."

It's difficult and delicate to talk about Stockholm Syndrome, especially in such special conditions as these. No one is forcing Taylor Swift's fans to attend the concert. That they succumb to their passion and become dependent on her music is their choice, but there is no pressure on them. It's just an offer they can consider or not.

As for "Gold Rush," lyrics  here is a love story. I don't know between whom, but one side is chasing the other and declares they are quite tired of this effort, especially since there are no visible results.

The singer herself confesses the disappointment:

"I call you out on your contrarian shit
And the coastal town
We wandered 'round had never"

The positive thing is that she doesn't drown her pain in alcohol but settles for a tea that has already turned gray with age.
"Seen a love as pure as it
And then it fades into the gray of my day old tea"

My frustration is that I listened the song lyrics multiple times and couldn't figure out if she drank that tea or not. It seems the only one at an advantage was the merchant who sold the tea. In fact, an old saying goes that during the gold rush, most miners lost money, but those who sold them pickaxes, shovels, tents, and jeans made a nice profit. And here the story repeats itself.

The temptation is great, everyone is focused on the subject:
"Everybody wants you

Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you"

It's unclear if the effort is worth it despite the attraction, even the singer confesses:
"Everybody wants you
What must it be like
To grow up that beautiful?"

But I don't like a gold rush"

However, the abandonment doesn't seem absolute; maybe a small attempt is worth it. You never know, maybe this time things will fit:
"On waters so inviting
I almost jump in"

Every time I listen this song, I start wonder myself: Did she jump in or not? Probably, I must drink an old gray tea to find it.

Will They Get Married? Blank space waiting a name

will they get married

On Sunday May 12, Taylor Swift captivated her audience, of more than 40,000 spectators, during her last concert in the French capital, on the occasion of her European Eras Tour.

Her boyfriend Travis Kelce was seated, in the La Defense Arena VIP stand, alongside model Gigi Hadid and actor Bradley Cooper, having big fun while singing to the song “Blank space”.

Starting my personal comment, I think this song is a declaration of love

Even more worthy of consideration is the fact that during the concert both Taylor and Travis sing. She on stage, he in the VIP stand. In fact, they sing for each other. The same lyrics. Basically, they do nothing but declare a deep love. Their fans ask themselves how soon will they get married.

Each admits that they leave behind a long list of lovers, only now it's completely different, both are crazy because they love the players, but most importantly, because they love the game

"Be my King", "Be my Queen" they shout to each other. This time "it's gonna be forever / Or it's gonna go down in flames" This is the Eras Tour conclusion.

History is full of blank spaces, but good stories, invariably, are not. Every piece of art in the world was once a blank space that someone chose to fill with inspiration, imagination, fear, obsession, logic, love, or passion.

"Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name"

As a finall comment related on Eras Tour performance, blank space can be humbling. But it's also true we do face it our whole life. It is not like a simple job. It's also a real calling. 

Bottom line regarding Taylor -Travis messages: Filling this blank space constitutes a new identity.

Will Travis and Taylor Get Married?

The Alchemy: Is this a story about Travis Kelce?

double album the tortured poets department

“The Tortured Poets Department (TTDP)" is a secret double album, posted Taylor Swift who became a global megastar overnight. Two hours later, 15 other titles appeared by magic, panicking the “Swifties”, her many fans. In less than 24 hours, the Anthology  became the most listened to this double album in one day in Spotify history, the platform announced.

Taylor Swift explained: “I've written a lot of tortured poetry over the last two years and I wanted to share it all with you, so here is the second part of TTPD: The Anthology. 15 additional songs. And now the story no longer belongs to me… it’s all yours.”

However, it's unclear who Taylor Swift is singing about, as she goes on to reference a lover from her past. "'Cause the sign on your heart said it's still reserved for me", and then Taylor opens up about this relationship, describing the dopamine rush created by the state of love and singing "who are we honestly, to fight alchemy?"

Honestly? (to be or not to be Tortured Poets Department double album)

Everything around happens because of an intentionally reserved sign for a certain person. The author of the text is absolutely right to wonder herself who we are to spread all that is known about alchemy. Amateurs must eliminate themselves with no doubt; there is no point in standing in the way of truth. The main concern is the path towards the crown freed from the hands of the clowns. Other thaughts on double album anthology just warm the benches

It looks like an important person is about to make a spectacular comeback! If s/he is telling us s/he has  returned, s/he is probably expecting it to be like a superhero returning to duty after an unpleasant hospital stay or a long absence. But I still wonder, did s/he at least makes a circle on the map before the came back? Not that I'm worried, but it's good to know where to find the important things in case another hospital break is  or if  s/he takes another long stroll around the world. Be carefull on the alchemy that could be dangerous for tortured poets department.

But the author of the lyrics doesn't leave things tangled. She looks the interviewed person straight in the eye and addresses him with precise questions. Well, it seems like you're about to make a triumphant re-entry into the ring of life!

"Hey you, what would you say if I told you we're strong?" - it seems to be the speech of a leader returning with an outstretched hand, ready to forgive all the "childish games" from school and to restore peace and harmony in his kingdom. Well, it's good to know that you've come back, because the world needs more laughter and less school drama! And, to be honest, this is a right reason indeed.

Once the problem is clear, all the chemistry gathers around us like a fountain of white and frothy wine

A new coup for the 34-year-old singer, who knew how to use social networks to create a feeling of intimacy with her audience, but also to keep them in suspense. An anthology of new works that reflect the events, opinions and feelings of a fleeting, fatalistic moment – one that was both sensational and sad in equal measure. No certain sign related to Travis Kelce, tortured poets
