Yours sincerely, the chairman of the tortured poet department

听到现在,整张专辑带给我的感受是深深的绝望,这种绝望不同于reputation时期的复仇之火,我可以想象她在reputation之后交出一张lover式的专辑,用欢快的节奏唱着“he looks up grinning like devil”,但我无法想象tortured poet的下一张专辑会是lover,会有daylight这种“I once believed love would be burning red, but it’
s golden. ”
整张专辑充斥着taylor典型的自谑式黑色幽默,例如“the manuscript”中的“if the sex was half as good as the conversation was, soon they’ll be pushing strollers”,还有最典型的“I can do it with a broken heart”中那句“I’m so depressed that I act like it’s my birthday”。但是黑色幽默背后,是自卑的“am I allowed to cry?”是无奈的“I love you, it’s ruining my life”,是最后收尾时,“now and then I re-read the manuscript, but the story isn’t mine anymore”。以前的taylor在最后结尾都会轻轻唱着new year’s day,但是tortured poet中的taylor只剩下了

从词作上讲,整张专辑在文学的引用上更为惊人,现在这留个坑,以后有机会查阅一下相关的文学作品,了解一下背后的故事,like who the fuck is Cassandra?听得我一整个蒙圈。
作为一个忠实的霉粉,听她的音乐这么久,真的很钟爱她的那些让人心碎的歌,例如每张专辑的track 5,。但是在tortured poet中,so long London似乎并不像以前的那些track 5一样达到悲伤的巅峰,相反,taylor罕见的将the manuscript这种最为悲伤的歌放在了专辑的结束,now the story wasn’t mine anymore, 还会有人来聆听我吗?
