Any Artist’s Role Is To Try And Express What We All Feel. Not As A Preacher, Not As A Leader, But As

Don't believe them when they tell you

There ain't no cure

The rich stay healthy

While the sick stay poor

Do you believe that rock N roll

Can really change the world

As it spins in revolution

It spirals and it turns

I-I believe in love.

I’m so sad I won’t be able to see you guys in concert this year, but I know this is the right decision. Please, please stay healthy and safe. I’ll see you on stage as soon as I can but right now what’s important is committing to this quarantine, for the sake of all of us.

The Tortured Poets Department. An anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time - one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure. This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up. There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted. This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it.

And then all that’s left behind is the tortured poetry.

THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT is out now.

Nah man, they got the metric system. They wouldn't know what the fuck a Quarter Pounder is to begin with.

THIS IS IT. THIS IS THE SCENE. 

TEWL in mammals is also known as insensible record loss (IRL), as it is a process over which fans have little physiologic control, and of which they are usually, mostly, unaware.

taylors commitment to glitter and eloquently calling out men her entire career is one of my favorite things about her

”And so I became the butt of the joke”

Get your lips round a cool black Diet Coke

Remember the photo from studio she posted right after she sighed the contract with Republic Records?

She took it when she was recording “Lover” (song) and proof of it is a little behind the scene video where she plays Lover acoustic in the same clothes.

SHE HAD A HEART ON HER FACE DURING LOVER RECORDING. IM NOT OK.

and there’s a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, deer

Through

Since we loving and appreciating INTHAF today, here are some things I’ve noticed:

The lyrics don’t talk about one linear story but moments when those feelings are evoked

The first part introduces those feelings (sharing gloves, playing video games, passing notes)

The second part finds them again much later in the beginnings of love (the nerve to touch my hand which ties back to the gloves, twenty questions which ties back to video games, conversation which ties back to notes), this person stirs feelings just as pure and true as the ones found in the innocent discoveries of childhood

The change from snow to a clear light pink sky shows the change in time and both literal and metaphorical season

The third part realizes these feelings in true love (sidewalk chalk covered in snow and rice on the ground looks like snow)

True love brings back the whimsy and sweetness we thought could only be found in childhood :’)

The simplicity of the writing and music are genius bc they reiterate those points as well as emphasize how simple true love is at its core (a theme found throughout Lover in general)

When you’re pretttttty sure that if you were a man, you’d be the man 💅
