This is so good! Kind of reminds me of Happy by Marina & The Diamonds (which I love)

Like it, it kinda makes me happy that there is gonna maybe be variety on Melodrama given how different this and Green Light are
The stripped down feel works well

Song almost made me cry and I'm sure it will in time. As wordy as she is, I feel like she needs to be because she has a lot to say and can't be constrained by typical short, punchy verses. I feel like this song is about me, honestly. I think she will perform it on SNL.

I like it. It shows a lot of maturity. I definitely think I'll enjoy Melodrama more than Pure Heroine.

Dear Lord(e), what did Taylor do to this poor girl? After excoriating John Mayer on record about taking advantage of her youth, she turns around and does the same thing. Of course, she is never going to come out and say the song is about Taylor, but...the signs are there - not just in the lyrics but also the fact that, after being a prominent member of the #Squad, she was unceremoniously dumped/replaced with more fashionable, less weird boilerplate hot chicks. I find it interesting that after heralding Lorde as the Next Big Thing and essentially co-signing her and mugging with her at major awards shows, she suddenly vanishes. I mean, of course, she is gonna make comments like "OMG Green Light is a bop for the ages" but pretty much anyone can give pretty quotes. I will be carefully listening to Lorde's album but she is acting like a scorned lover and I strongly believe Taylor is to blame.

This is a beautiful song, powerful song but with distracting bad vocals. This song speaks to my soul and life.

I'm getting Barbara feels. The wordiness, the simple piano, the emotional vocals. Loves it.

I love this. On first listen, I was like, eh. Then I saw the live performance and it completely opened up. Those lyrics... ugh, LOVE THEM.

i think i prefer this over Green Light...she does better on spare arrangements & i think Green Light sounds a bit cluttered, but not this...this sounds great
