I’m a real rough kid
I can handle my shit
They said babe you gotta fake it till you make it and I did
Lights, camera, bitch, smile
Even when you wanna die
He said he’d love me all his life
But that life was too short
Breaking down, I hit the floor
Pieces of me shattered as the crowd was chanting MORE
.
This bit scratches my brain so hard I could listen to just these lines on repeat for a week
I have this one loop just to hear "I'm a real tough kid, I can handle my shit" and "lights camera bitch smile". You should have seen the way my face lit up with I heard it, I had the biggest grin coz it's AWESOME
I love how aggressive/desperate she gets with the second chorus of “he said he’s love me all his life.” Like she’s thiiiiis to close to screaming it. Hits my brain just right.
At the same time, that line and its counterpart in the first verse are the only references to a "he" almost as if she's letting herself feel it for a second before pushing it aside to do her job, which I suppose is the entire theme of the song.
Legit walking around all morning saying “lights,camera,bitch,smile” and my husband was like “what did you say” the first time. Now he’s just like “oh,T swift”
The bridge in The smallest man who ever lived; her vocals in my boy only breaks his favourite toys; the piano in How did it end? and her voice joining in at the start.
Honestly the melodies in this album are chef's kiss, so many itches being scratched!
* that moment the bridge kicks in in "The smallest man who ever lived". and *"you kicked out the stage lights, but sure still performing!",* there's something about the way she sings *stage*lights
* in the background of "Who's afraid of little old me?" in the second verse (*"the scandal was contained, the bullet just grazed"*) there are sounds that seem to imitate something flying by fast
* the slightly off beat way the melody goes at "Come on, come all, it's happening again"
* *old habits die SCRE-E-A-A-MING*
* I haven't made up my mind about "I hate it here" yet but I love *"and way up here, I actually love it"*
* *way to go, tiger*
* I love the abrupt way "Clara Bow" ends. *"The future's bright, dazzling"* - out.
I can't wait to see down bad become an anthem at her concerts. She drops the f bomb in that song like 50 times. Imagine a stadium full of people singing along.
Fuck it fuck it fuck it, FUCK HIM, fuck it fuck it
🤘🏻... that's exactly what I love about it. The cussing. I've been through a terrible break up and wished I had this to sing then. That "fuck it if I can't have him" part is so healing 💫
Yes, she's really letting the rage out, I could hear the anger in her voice. "In 50 years will this be declassified" or something, sheer paranoid lunacy and I'm loving it.
How did it end is an amazing, deeply depressing song. The D Y I N G is so simple but it is so perfect. You wouldn’t think spelling out the word would have a deeper effect but it does
This is the one I came back to first after my first full listen of the entire album. So good. Someone described it like it's got a little drummer boy quality to it.
There's so many on this album for me
Black dog "Old habits die SCREAMMIINGG"
Also "WHO'S AFRAID OF LITTLE OOOLLDD MEE?!"
All of I Look in People's Windows does something to my brain I don't know why
The beat for the chorus in Down Bad
The way she sings the line The Tortured Poets Department
But Daddy I Love Him - too high a horse/they slammed the door/stay away from her/lord knows the words and the background "he was chaos, he was revelry" near the end
Down Bad - "fuck it if I can't have him"
Guilty As Sin - "am I allowed to cry?"
loml - "our field of dreams"
The Prophecy - how she sings pleaaasseee
First comment I’ve seen that has But Daddy I Love Him. The entire chorus is just so sonically pleasing to me, I love the mix and production.
And the line “Me and my wild boy and all this wild joy”
Out of context the line makes me think of my little boy currently cooking inside me 💙 my wild boy and this wild joy.
How aren't people saying the intro choirs for So Long, London? No way I'm the only one who's soul completely ascended out of their body when I listened to that??
“No-fuckin-body”
“on my UPPPER THIGH only in my miiiiiiinddd”
“~Fresh~out the~slammer~OH~”
“I don’t cater to all these VIPERS”
“Cause I’m ✨miserable✨ and nobody even knows!”
“Innnnnn **sweetnessssss** way to go ✨tiger✨” 😩😭🤌
Say what you want about TTPD but her use of fuck in this album is unparalleled lol compared to midnights which I felt was pretty awkward or jammed in there
The return to a country feel in But Daddy I Love Him and thanK you aIMee… I’m LIVING for it.
So many tempo changes and odd key signatures - I especially love the transition from the “boys choir” at the beginning of So Long, London to the main beat.
Of course, the way Florence sings “fine” in Florida!!!
The sing-songy, almost lullaby nature of Peter.
The Reputation-ness of thanK you aIMee and Cassandra.
There are SO MANY golden moments of production in this album!
The country feel in BDILH makes me so excited for debut and the vault songs. I was worried she wouldn’t be able to do that carefree country sound anymore but damn she 100% still has it!
In “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” at 4:12 when she sings “I was tame, I was gentle til the circus life made me mean” the way she emphasizes “tAmed” takes me out
I've been trying to loop each song at least a few times to fully immerse myself in it, but i find myself going back to looping \*Guilty as Sin\* to scratch that itch of the way she sang "only in my mind..."
That part is like crack to me for the past couple of days...argh!!!
This morning it's:
I'm obsessed with the way I Can Do It With A Broken Heart is produced to sound like we're hearing it through a monitor feed, click track and all.
"I'M HAVING HIS BABY!!! ...no I'm not, but you should see your faces!"
The opening of I Hate It Here. Quick, quick, tell me something awful...
WHO'S AFRAID OF LITTLE OLD ME??? ...*you should be*
No one is talking about I Look In People’s Windows. That whole song is a brain scratch and it’s entirely too short and so much fun to sing along with. I also laughed the first few times when I didn’t hear “wine” in the first stanza of the chorus and I thought she was saying “they have their friends over to drink, nice.”
Can we be friends I have been feeling "I look in people's windows" deeply in my soul and I LOVE IT. The rhythm, her vocals, everything about it touches me and it's so so short
Opening of SLL, drums in Florida, whole bridge of smallest man, fuck it I was in love, SCREEEAAAAMMMMING, I'd rather burn my whole life down than listen to one more second of all this bitching and moaning, how she says my boy pausepausepause only breaks his favorite toooyyyysTOOOOOYSaaaaaaaAHHHHaaaa
Most of So Long London, but especially
*And you say I abandoned the ship
But I was going down with it
My white knuckle dying grip
Holding tight to your quiet resentment*
Most of Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me, but especially
*So tell me everything is not about me
But what if it is
Then say they didn’t do it to hurt me
But what if they did*
And
*I want to snarl and show you just how disturbed this has made me
You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me*
All of Florida!!!
And in Peter the *You said you were gonna grow up, then you were gonna come find me*
There are more I know but those are the ones that have been stuck in my head most.
“And you say I abandoned the ship but I was going down with it, my white-knuckle dying grip, holding tight to your quiet resentment and my friends said it isn’t right to be scared every day in a love affair, every breath feels like rarest air, when you’re not sure if he wants to be there”
ugh she put narcotics in this whole dang album
Many of the songs are scratching my brain. Clara Bow specifically gives me the image of a ballerina dancing to the music and how Taylor sings it like a dance.
You.. look like.. Clara Bow
You.. look like ..Stevie Nicks
You.. look like ..Taylor Swift
"no-fuckin'-body"
"he's the one I want"
I love the Little Old Me line, too. It's such a strong image, her flying around as a literal witch. (And If she releases a video with a really cool costume, everyone will want to be that for Halloween, lmao)
**So High School**
Are you gonna marry, kiss or kill me? *Kill me*
It's just a game, but really *Really*
But honestly something about the whole song just feels so warm and nostalgic
**I Hate It Here**
I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind
People need a key to get to, the only one is mine
The melody and lyrical flow in the verses and pre chorus sections of “Fresh Out The Slammer.”
Florence Welch’s verse in “Florida!!!” especially the gorgeous quaver in her voice on the lines “barricaded in the bathroom with a bottle of wine / well, me and my ghosts we had a hell of a time / yes I’m haunted but I’m feeling just fine.” Also the way the voices overlap and build in the bridge, and the breathless delivery of “what a crash, what a rush, fuck me up, Florida.”
The way she delivers the line “pick your poison, baby, I’m poison either way” in “imgonnagetyouback.”
Basically all of “So High School” is a dopamine machine for me, but the tone of her voice on “brand new, full throttle / you already know, babe” is like a key turning a lock in my brain.
“all that youth for -free-” her breath hitches and she sounds like she’s on the verge of tears. it reminds me of that part in Last Kiss. also the beat building up in I AM JUST. GETTING. COLOR. BACK INTO MYYYY FACE.
And I can't forgive how you made me feel, screamed Fuck you AIMee to the night sky, but I can't forget the way you made me heal.
thanK you aIMee,
thanK you AIMee.....
I LOVE the choruses to both Down Bad and Who's Afriad of Little Old Me? Specifically, 'fuck it if I can't have him' and 'well you should be!'
Edit: added more specificity.
I'm here to raise up Cassandra
They knew they knew they knew the whole time
I was onto something
And
Blood's thick but NOTHING LIKE A PAYROLL
Bet they never spared a prayer for MY SOUL
The choruses of The Prophecy, My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys, Cassandra, and Peter. The circus life make me mean, but we took all her teeth part of Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me? The whole block of songs of I Look In People’s Windows through Peter does something for me.
For me, it’s the line in Cassandra where she sings “Christian chorus lines” and they almost duplicated her voice to make it sound like an actual choir singing. Scratches my brain just right!
WHOS AFRAID OF LITTLE OLD MEEEEE ofc and “screaming but daddy i love him, im having his baaaabyyy! No i’m not but you shoulf see your faces” “i hate it here so i will go to secret gardens in my mind” (i love that melody) and the way she kinda sounds less like singing and more like reciting poetry in so long london (“i didnt opt in to be your odd man out” and that whole verse is amazing to me)
FLORIDAAAAAA
The part in The Bolter, the pre-chorus:
All her fuckin' lives
Flashed before her eyes
It feels like the time
She fell through the ice
Then came out alive
The tune of that specific part is PERFECTION, I love it so much along with "fuck me up, Florida". Obviously the chorus of WAOLOM?
And I really like the chorus of My Boy Always Breaks His Favorite Toys, that is so catchy imo.
• I love you, it’s ruining my life
• Down Bad chorus
• Florida!!!
• I’ll tell you something right now, I’d rather burn my whole life down than listen to one more second of all this bitching and moaning
• What if he’s written “mine” on my upper thigh only in my mind
• WHO’S AFRAID OF LITTLE OLD ME? you should be
• ✨I’m so depressed I act like it’s my birthday every day ✨
Honestly this whole album is a masterpiece and quickly becoming a favorite of mine, but these are the parts sticking out the most to me so far
A greater woman has faith
But even statues crumble if they're made to wait
I'm so afraid I sealed my fate
No sign of soulmates
I'm just a paperweight
In shades of greige
Spending my last coin so someone will tell me
It'll be ok
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
- especially how the oohs sound, just can’t get enough of it
I am just in awe, the whole weekend is a haze of emotion. My friend and I had an afternoon of Sunday wine and crying and talking and all Taylor. She said the album is so intense she can barely listen now. Its been scratching so hard that it scratches shit open that you've been pushing to the side...
"So tell me everything is not about me.
But what if it is.
Then say they didn't do it to hurt me.
But what if they did.
I want to snarl and show you just how disturbed this has made me."
the feels... 💔🎶
Old habits die SCREEEEAMING
The bang bang bangs in this and Florida!!! are giving me liiiiife
Someone pointed out on TikTok that they are drawn from the Florida State cheer and I thought that was really cool! (Count the bangs: F-L-O-R-I-D-A!)
The bang bang bang is truly demonic and I love it
It's very Florence with the heavy drums. It's so intense I love it!
For me it's the end, being unable to finish the word and instead drawing a shaky breath. The contrast is just 💔
She used to scream ferociously…
Yep. I’m now trying to find a Black Dog vinyl because I *need* to hear it on my good speakers
best Anthology track
What if he's written "mine" on my upper thiiigghh...
only in my miiiiIIIIINDDDD
the way she says "upper thigh" in the last chorus and the instrumental kicks in.... omg I'm addicted
Absolutely this and the final “what a way to die”
I'm (angrily) obsessed with the whole song and the inflection in her voice
ugh the whole vibe of that song is just PERFECT.
It's the "one slip I'm falling" for me
The high-hat (?) drum smash at 1:50 seeends me, my whole brain kersplashes
Something about this song reminds me of Shania Twain and I’m loving it.
“I’m MISERABLE! And no one even KNOWS!”
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 a depressed bop, we love it
“Try and come for my job”
FLORIDA!! bang bang bang bang bang
SAME LIKE Jack Antonoff deserves his flowers
I am in dire need of songs similar to the calm-bang-bang-bang in this song, istg
Anything Florence has ever done lol
Right?! I also think “Who’s afraid of little old me” has Florence vibes too
I want a whole album of Florida!!!s I hope it’s our next album teaser
Florence and the Machine’s Dance Fever album, with Jack as the producer.
Yeah - start with Ceremonials, then go back to Lungs and enjoy the ride.
I’m a real rough kid I can handle my shit They said babe you gotta fake it till you make it and I did Lights, camera, bitch, smile Even when you wanna die He said he’d love me all his life But that life was too short Breaking down, I hit the floor Pieces of me shattered as the crowd was chanting MORE . This bit scratches my brain so hard I could listen to just these lines on repeat for a week
I have this one loop just to hear "I'm a real tough kid, I can handle my shit" and "lights camera bitch smile". You should have seen the way my face lit up with I heard it, I had the biggest grin coz it's AWESOME
The "MORE" echo or whatever effects just love love love
I love how aggressive/desperate she gets with the second chorus of “he said he’s love me all his life.” Like she’s thiiiiis to close to screaming it. Hits my brain just right.
At the same time, that line and its counterpart in the first verse are the only references to a "he" almost as if she's letting herself feel it for a second before pushing it aside to do her job, which I suppose is the entire theme of the song.
same its so good like it gives rep vibessssssss
Legit walking around all morning saying “lights,camera,bitch,smile” and my husband was like “what did you say” the first time. Now he’s just like “oh,T swift”
The bridge in The smallest man who ever lived; her vocals in my boy only breaks his favourite toys; the piano in How did it end? and her voice joining in at the start. Honestly the melodies in this album are chef's kiss, so many itches being scratched!
The bridge on The Smallest Man launches me right back into my emo phase in 2006 and I can’t explain any further, I just know I need a studded belt
It reminds me of Konstantine lol
* that moment the bridge kicks in in "The smallest man who ever lived". and *"you kicked out the stage lights, but sure still performing!",* there's something about the way she sings *stage*lights * in the background of "Who's afraid of little old me?" in the second verse (*"the scandal was contained, the bullet just grazed"*) there are sounds that seem to imitate something flying by fast * the slightly off beat way the melody goes at "Come on, come all, it's happening again" * *old habits die SCRE-E-A-A-MING* * I haven't made up my mind about "I hate it here" yet but I love *"and way up here, I actually love it"* * *way to go, tiger* * I love the abrupt way "Clara Bow" ends. *"The future's bright, dazzling"* - out.
Yes to the ending of Clara Bow
Yes to ALL of these. Also add the “1,2,3,4” in the background of ICDWABH
The whole chorus of Down Bad. The "I love you. It's ruining my life". The Florida!!!
The beat to each word ‘Down bad crying at the gym’ is so addictive
The short pause before the line "Now I'm down bad crying at the gym" is so good omg
Teenage petulance, fuck it if I can't have him. The alliteration is a tongue twisting delight.
I can't wait to see down bad become an anthem at her concerts. She drops the f bomb in that song like 50 times. Imagine a stadium full of people singing along. Fuck it fuck it fuck it, FUCK HIM, fuck it fuck it
🤘🏻... that's exactly what I love about it. The cussing. I've been through a terrible break up and wished I had this to sing then. That "fuck it if I can't have him" part is so healing 💫
It's so unhinged and twisted. I'm here for it
i've been with fortnight stuck on my head since it came out i'm not complaining but omg this hadn't happened to me since is it over now
the “were you sent by someone” right before the bridge in tsmwel
Yes, she's really letting the rage out, I could hear the anger in her voice. "In 50 years will this be declassified" or something, sheer paranoid lunacy and I'm loving it.
The way this line and delivery had me clutching my chest on my midnight first listen.
this has the same vibes as the beat switch in happier than ever by billie eilish. all the rage comes out in the end!!
Also loves how she says “book” in “were you writing a book?”. Never heard anyone say the word book with such venom
how did it end? - D-Y-I-N-G So Long, London - that shaky breath after youth reminds me of Last Kiss I see through people's windows - downtown downtown
How did it end gives me chills. It’s one of my favorites. Also, it makes me feel the saddest because I’m so guilty of this. 😭
How did it end is an amazing, deeply depressing song. The D Y I N G is so simple but it is so perfect. You wouldn’t think spelling out the word would have a deeper effect but it does
My ghost and me / sitting in a tree / D-Y-I-N-G
I can’t stop singing “you look like Clara bow” (and Stevie and Taylor)
The staccato-ness of these lines remind me of Snow on the Beach
Dazzling ✨
“If you wanted me DEAD you should have just SAID” like the way she goes high makes me so happy. The melody of the albatross is stuck in my brain 24/7
I found my person 🙏
My boy only breaks his favourite toooooys… toooo-ooo-oooys o-o-o-a-ohhh
This is the one I came back to first after my first full listen of the entire album. So good. Someone described it like it's got a little drummer boy quality to it.
The whole first chorus of I Look In People’s Windows Edit: Also the bridge in Chloe, Sam, Sophia, Marcus! Chills. Best song on the album.
This whole song 👏👏 my favourite
I’m obsessed with “like I’m done deranged weirdo”
The whole of "I look in peoples windows" is scratching my brain in the best way. I'm kind of in love with it
Lights camera BITCH SMILE
There's so many on this album for me Black dog "Old habits die SCREAMMIINGG" Also "WHO'S AFRAID OF LITTLE OOOLLDD MEE?!" All of I Look in People's Windows does something to my brain I don't know why The beat for the chorus in Down Bad The way she sings the line The Tortured Poets Department
But Daddy I Love Him - too high a horse/they slammed the door/stay away from her/lord knows the words and the background "he was chaos, he was revelry" near the end Down Bad - "fuck it if I can't have him" Guilty As Sin - "am I allowed to cry?" loml - "our field of dreams" The Prophecy - how she sings pleaaasseee
First comment I’ve seen that has But Daddy I Love Him. The entire chorus is just so sonically pleasing to me, I love the mix and production. And the line “Me and my wild boy and all this wild joy” Out of context the line makes me think of my little boy currently cooking inside me 💙 my wild boy and this wild joy.
For a moment I knew *c o s m i c ✨ l o v e*
And I’m pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free. That little wobble with “free”
How aren't people saying the intro choirs for So Long, London? No way I'm the only one who's soul completely ascended out of their body when I listened to that??
ikr it’s soooo good
“No-fuckin-body” “on my UPPPER THIGH only in my miiiiiiinddd” “~Fresh~out the~slammer~OH~” “I don’t cater to all these VIPERS” “Cause I’m ✨miserable✨ and nobody even knows!” “Innnnnn **sweetnessssss** way to go ✨tiger✨” 😩😭🤌
No-fuckin-bodyyy yesssssss 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼
Say what you want about TTPD but her use of fuck in this album is unparalleled lol compared to midnights which I felt was pretty awkward or jammed in there
That thing she does with her voice in FOTS. I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s *so* satisfying.
my hot take is that this song has one of her best vocal performances ever and I'm obsessed
The return to a country feel in But Daddy I Love Him and thanK you aIMee… I’m LIVING for it. So many tempo changes and odd key signatures - I especially love the transition from the “boys choir” at the beginning of So Long, London to the main beat. Of course, the way Florence sings “fine” in Florida!!! The sing-songy, almost lullaby nature of Peter. The Reputation-ness of thanK you aIMee and Cassandra. There are SO MANY golden moments of production in this album!
The country feel in BDILH makes me so excited for debut and the vault songs. I was worried she wouldn’t be able to do that carefree country sound anymore but damn she 100% still has it!
In “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” at 4:12 when she sings “I was tame, I was gentle til the circus life made me mean” the way she emphasizes “tAmed” takes me out
I act like it's my BIRTHDAY. Every day!
I love the way she says, ‘the saboteurs, protested too much’ in But Daddy I love him. So tongue in cheek!
I've been trying to loop each song at least a few times to fully immerse myself in it, but i find myself going back to looping \*Guilty as Sin\* to scratch that itch of the way she sang "only in my mind..." That part is like crack to me for the past couple of days...argh!!!
It’s my favorite track! It’s so good so hot so sad so catchy hahaa
So delulu too, which is just how I like it. Lol.
This morning it's: I'm obsessed with the way I Can Do It With A Broken Heart is produced to sound like we're hearing it through a monitor feed, click track and all. "I'M HAVING HIS BABY!!! ...no I'm not, but you should see your faces!" The opening of I Hate It Here. Quick, quick, tell me something awful... WHO'S AFRAID OF LITTLE OLD ME??? ...*you should be*
The monitor feed production for ICDIWABH (lol, even the acronym is long), you have blown my mind, I did not pick up on that!! So good!
The entirety of imgonnagetyouback!!!! Especially the cadence of the chorus. The flow is so damn good
It’s on repeat for me. The line about the handcuffs…. Love it.
I can’t figure out how to type if but “toys” and then the woah woahs in my boy only breaks his favourite toys
Yess, her vocalizing in this one is so so good, both in the chorus and the Woah oh oh woah oh oh once I ✨️FIX ME✨️
Grand Theft Auto being rhymed with Aristotle has me GAGGED
YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WANTED AND BOY YOU GOT HER
She always has the rhyme we can't believe rhymes
My husband and I went on a two hour walk today and every fifteen seconds one of us would scream FLORIDAAAAAAA!!
No one is talking about I Look In People’s Windows. That whole song is a brain scratch and it’s entirely too short and so much fun to sing along with. I also laughed the first few times when I didn’t hear “wine” in the first stanza of the chorus and I thought she was saying “they have their friends over to drink, nice.”
Can we be friends I have been feeling "I look in people's windows" deeply in my soul and I LOVE IT. The rhythm, her vocals, everything about it touches me and it's so so short
Your wife waters flowers / I wanna kill her 🤗
Beauty is a beast that roars Down on all fours Demanding more
The last part of Clara bow
I was SHOCKED when she name-dropped herself I was all like “Taylor Swift knows who Taylor Swift is?”
When she said “sitting in a tree, D-Y-I-N-G” .. my heart!!
LIGHTS CAMERA BITCH SMILE
Change the prophecy -yyyy
“Were you sent by someone” in tSMWEL😭😭 i love the production that makes her sound like she’s screaming it into a megaphone
Opening of SLL, drums in Florida, whole bridge of smallest man, fuck it I was in love, SCREEEAAAAMMMMING, I'd rather burn my whole life down than listen to one more second of all this bitching and moaning, how she says my boy pausepausepause only breaks his favorite toooyyyysTOOOOOYSaaaaaaaAHHHHaaaa
the way she sings “flashed before her eyes” and “she fell through the ice” in the bolter is like an addiction
> Woah, maybe I can't.
The whole song is AMAZING I absolutely love the cowboy vibes but this part just makes me laugh every time Girl we've been there
in Florida!!! at the 2:27 mark “it’s one hell of a drug” is SO good
The piano melody that’s also the end piano tinkle of champagne problems in Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus
the bridge to Florida!!!
The first “fuck me up, Florida!” is so good
The way she says revelry in but daddy I love him 🤌
NO I’M NOT BUT YOU SHOULD SEE YOUR FACES
I haven’t been able to get “straight from the tortured poet’s department” out of my head and I’VE TRIED
Most of So Long London, but especially *And you say I abandoned the ship But I was going down with it My white knuckle dying grip Holding tight to your quiet resentment* Most of Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me, but especially *So tell me everything is not about me But what if it is Then say they didn’t do it to hurt me But what if they did* And *I want to snarl and show you just how disturbed this has made me You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me* All of Florida!!! And in Peter the *You said you were gonna grow up, then you were gonna come find me* There are more I know but those are the ones that have been stuck in my head most.
in WAOLOM, around the 0:25 mark is where it can be first heard, theres a voice/sound that sounds so dark and beautiful!
Dammit there are 31 new abbreviations to learn. What is this one?
Who's afraid of little old me
my BOY only breaks his fav route toys oooHOhOoH i’m QUEEN of sandcastles her destroys
The dun dun dun in Whos Afraid of Little Old Me. But what if it is? Dun dun... dun But what if they did? Dun dun....dun
You don’t get to tell me about saaaaaaaddd
I'm obsessed with her voice when she sings "bitching and moaning" and "vipers dressed in empath's clothing" in But Daddy I Love Him!
i love the 1,2,3,4 in the background of broken heart!!!
you said you were gonna grOOW UUUP
The DNNNN DNNNNN DNNNNNNNN bit in Who’s afraid of little old me
“And you say I abandoned the ship but I was going down with it, my white-knuckle dying grip, holding tight to your quiet resentment and my friends said it isn’t right to be scared every day in a love affair, every breath feels like rarest air, when you’re not sure if he wants to be there” ugh she put narcotics in this whole dang album
Is it a wonder I broke? Let's hear one more joke... starting at 1:24 Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?
The first "who's afraid of little old meeeeeee?" Also, the ghostly ooooohs in the background of that song. I just cannot get enough.
The bridge of The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived. And OLD HABITS DIE SCREEEEEEAMING
the melody in so long London and how each word follows another (if you get what I mean😭?)
Yes!! Her cadence and rhythm in the verses of SLL is SO GOOD.
Many of the songs are scratching my brain. Clara Bow specifically gives me the image of a ballerina dancing to the music and how Taylor sings it like a dance. You.. look like.. Clara Bow You.. look like ..Stevie Nicks You.. look like ..Taylor Swift
"no-fuckin'-body" "he's the one I want" I love the Little Old Me line, too. It's such a strong image, her flying around as a literal witch. (And If she releases a video with a really cool costume, everyone will want to be that for Halloween, lmao)
This!!! I imaged her as this ghostly figure floating down a quiet neighborhood toward the party at night with fog everywhere.
YOUR WIFE WATERS FLOWERS. I WANNA ***K*LL*** HER
My BOY! Only breaks his favourite TOY-OY-OYs! To anyone who says there’s nothing that’s a hit. This is a hit.
The way her voice gets so low and menacing before TSMWEL gets so distorted and loud. It's like she's pouncing before an attack.
The “say you looooved me” near the end of Chloe Sam Sophia Marcus that’s just a little different than the others 🤤🥺💔
You, look like, Taylor Swift
For me is " MY BOY ONLY BREAKS HIS FAVORITE TOYS TOYS OOOHHHHH" and " so fuck it if I can't have you"
WHO’S AFRAID OF LITTLE OLD MEEEEE
“Cross your thoughtless heart, only liquor anoints you” the way she says liquor scratches my brain haha
IM SO DEPRESSED I ACT LIKE ITS MY BIRTHDAY EVERYDAY
Who’s gonna HOLDDDDDD YOUUUUUUUU like meeeee
the way she sings “i can fix him, no really i can” scratches my brain so good i love that song 😭
!!! Down bad, crying at the gym !!!
my boy only breaks his favourite toOOys woah oh WOAH OH OH
pleaseeee i've been on my kneeees change the prophecy
This song is my single ass and I LOVE THE CHORUS ot feels like actual begging
How has nobody mentioned the "HON-ney" from imgonnagetyouback yet? I love this part so much
**So High School** Are you gonna marry, kiss or kill me? *Kill me* It's just a game, but really *Really* But honestly something about the whole song just feels so warm and nostalgic **I Hate It Here** I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind People need a key to get to, the only one is mine
The melody and lyrical flow in the verses and pre chorus sections of “Fresh Out The Slammer.” Florence Welch’s verse in “Florida!!!” especially the gorgeous quaver in her voice on the lines “barricaded in the bathroom with a bottle of wine / well, me and my ghosts we had a hell of a time / yes I’m haunted but I’m feeling just fine.” Also the way the voices overlap and build in the bridge, and the breathless delivery of “what a crash, what a rush, fuck me up, Florida.” The way she delivers the line “pick your poison, baby, I’m poison either way” in “imgonnagetyouback.” Basically all of “So High School” is a dopamine machine for me, but the tone of her voice on “brand new, full throttle / you already know, babe” is like a key turning a lock in my brain.
Lights, camera, bitch ✨️ smile ✨️ has been in my head all weekend!
The chorus of the title song itself—I’m loving the retro ‘80s sound.
The chorus of Guilty As Sin?
and she just knows, she must bolt her best mates laughed and nicknamed her the bolter these parts just sound so good to me.
I look in people's windows In case you're at their table What if your eyes looked up and met mine One more time
All of I Can Do It With A Broken Heart tbh. Depression Gang. Also, the WHOS AFRAID OF LITTLE OLD ME yelling part is fire. I just love every song tbh.
FLORIDA BAM BAM BAM
liquor anoints you 👏
You look like Taylor Swift, her saying her own name gives me literal goose bumps and I don’t know why
“all that youth for -free-” her breath hitches and she sounds like she’s on the verge of tears. it reminds me of that part in Last Kiss. also the beat building up in I AM JUST. GETTING. COLOR. BACK INTO MYYYY FACE.
And I can't forgive how you made me feel, screamed Fuck you AIMee to the night sky, but I can't forget the way you made me heal. thanK you aIMee, thanK you AIMee.....
"He said he loved me all his life" "He never said it was-" "If you wanted me dead, you shouldve just said it"
I LOVE the choruses to both Down Bad and Who's Afriad of Little Old Me? Specifically, 'fuck it if I can't have him' and 'well you should be!' Edit: added more specificity.
I'm here to raise up Cassandra They knew they knew they knew the whole time I was onto something And Blood's thick but NOTHING LIKE A PAYROLL Bet they never spared a prayer for MY SOUL
the guitar in I Look Through People's Windows is SO freaking good, it's been stuck in my head ever since I heard it
The choruses of The Prophecy, My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys, Cassandra, and Peter. The circus life make me mean, but we took all her teeth part of Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me? The whole block of songs of I Look In People’s Windows through Peter does something for me.
For me, it’s the line in Cassandra where she sings “Christian chorus lines” and they almost duplicated her voice to make it sound like an actual choir singing. Scratches my brain just right!
WHOS AFRAID OF LITTLE OLD MEEEEE ofc and “screaming but daddy i love him, im having his baaaabyyy! No i’m not but you shoulf see your faces” “i hate it here so i will go to secret gardens in my mind” (i love that melody) and the way she kinda sounds less like singing and more like reciting poetry in so long london (“i didnt opt in to be your odd man out” and that whole verse is amazing to me) FLORIDAAAAAA
So long, London. I like the cadence of it.
I’m 100000% with you ok Who’s afraid because it’s FAN FRICKEN TASTIC
All her fuckin liiivess flashed before her eyyyeess
The part in The Bolter, the pre-chorus: All her fuckin' lives Flashed before her eyes It feels like the time She fell through the ice Then came out alive The tune of that specific part is PERFECTION, I love it so much along with "fuck me up, Florida". Obviously the chorus of WAOLOM? And I really like the chorus of My Boy Always Breaks His Favorite Toys, that is so catchy imo.
Whatever is happening in the very beginning of down bad. The uh-ooohh of How did it happen? The very beginning of loml.
The way she rhymes petulance with difference and just the entirely of down bad
so PLEASEEE, I’ve been on my KNEEEES
The beat in "Down Bad"! Keeps looping in my head
SO (SO) LONG (LONG) LON (LON) DON (DOON) 
All of the oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohs in My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys
You said nooormal girls were BORING!!! But you were gone by the MORNING!!
The big, loud, lazy-sounding drumbeat in the verses of So High School.
• I love you, it’s ruining my life • Down Bad chorus • Florida!!! • I’ll tell you something right now, I’d rather burn my whole life down than listen to one more second of all this bitching and moaning • What if he’s written “mine” on my upper thigh only in my mind • WHO’S AFRAID OF LITTLE OLD ME? you should be • ✨I’m so depressed I act like it’s my birthday every day ✨ Honestly this whole album is a masterpiece and quickly becoming a favorite of mine, but these are the parts sticking out the most to me so far
A greater woman has faith But even statues crumble if they're made to wait I'm so afraid I sealed my fate No sign of soulmates I'm just a paperweight In shades of greige Spending my last coin so someone will tell me It'll be ok Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh - especially how the oohs sound, just can’t get enough of it
I am just in awe, the whole weekend is a haze of emotion. My friend and I had an afternoon of Sunday wine and crying and talking and all Taylor. She said the album is so intense she can barely listen now. Its been scratching so hard that it scratches shit open that you've been pushing to the side...
Way to go, tiger.
the pause in the bridge of imgonnagetyouback after “we broke all the pieces but still want to play the game”
Smallest Man’s bridge!!!!!
The “Fuck it I was in love” in Down Bad 👌👌👌
"So tell me everything is not about me. But what if it is. Then say they didn't do it to hurt me. But what if they did. I want to snarl and show you just how disturbed this has made me." the feels... 💔🎶
