Labyrinth is a god tier song Edit: My rankings Tier 1 - You’re on You’re Own Kid (specifically because of production and melody, not lyrics). - Labyrinth (timeless, beautiful melody) - The Great War (addicting melody all throughout the song, lyrics are very good) - Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve (production is amazing, lyrics as well) - Glitch (I love the complexity in the production, a very sensual song, easy to groove to, etc. Don’t like the bridge though. Tier 2: - Lavender Haze (I hate the bridge but I could see it being played at every house party and I’m preparing to get tired of it) - High Infidelity (ok production, love the vocal bridge) - Bigger Than The Whole Sky (amazing lyrics, love the guitar) - Maroon (I like the production, but the use of color in Taylor’s songs/finding things that have that color is getting overused - Midnight Rain (nothing much to say) Tier 3: Paris Snow on the Beach Sweet Nothing Tier 4: - Mastermind (lyrics are kind of juvenile/sounds like something a beginner could’ve wrote) - Karma (love the melody, but Lyrics are also juvenile) - Bejeweled (same reason as Karma) - Question (same reason as Karma, love the bop-ey melody of the bridge though) - Vigilante (the lyrics very much lack depth)

As someone who has experience infant loss and miscarriage, I’ve latched onto Bigger Than The Whole Sky so HARD. Even though I can objectively understand that it’s an odd addition in the context of the story and vibe of Midnights, and it isn’t necessarily about Taylor experiencing that…but I just feel so seen with that song and I will forever be grateful to Taylor for writing it. Isn’t that the wonder of music?

Justice for Question...? !!! It is literally the most passive aggressive, insane, fun song on the record. She wrote that song specifically for Harry to hear and to get her message across, and if you get it, you get it! It gives AYHTDWS energy, but more passive aggressive and I love that for her.

One of my favorite interviews is where Taylor talks about Style and the inspiration behind the song. “This song is actually about those relationships that are never really done. You know, you always kind of have that person. That one person who you feel like might interrupt your wedding. And be like don’t do it because we’re not over yet. The one person that floats in and out of your life and the narrative is never truly over.” DEAR GOD

LABYRINTH DESERVES BETTER IT IS SO PRETTY

I love putting dear reader as an opening track, it adds depth to the record, like yes I'm taylor swift but I don't actually have my shit together ever, so don't take advice from me because I'm an unreliable narrator, I don't wanna tell people what to I just want to express my neurosis. Also YOYOK works as a great bookend.

@drewrosen

Жыл бұрын

I totally agree because dear reader is basically an opposite of yoyok, like at first she is anxious that so many people rely on her for advice when she actually is just falling apart and is not a reliable source. then ending with yoyok, she realizes how far she’s come and that she is actually proud of herself. the song yoyok starts off kinda sad but ends on a hopeful note. Like start to finish, this would leave me going into the album thinking one thing and going out thinking another thing.

The brief five seconds when you took Bejewelled out of God Tier, I screamed into my phone ‘Don’t you dare, put her back’. And you did, therefore all is right with the world.

l like midnights is like the folklore to evermore; they’re both incredible albums but you can tell they’re just her warming up to diving fully straight in. Folklore being the warm up to evermore and now we have midnights being the warm-up to whatever her next on the nose pop record is.

i am sorry for your loss zach, losing someone is always painful, stay strong ❤

_’Time passes me by and I don’t notice anymore’_ is honestly a new Taylor lyric well done mate😂

The thing I love about your videos is your analysis of each of the songs they are just spot on and the rearranged tracklist always works

The lyrics to "The Great War" are rich in imagery, symbolism, and themes that are far from simple or boring. For example, the reference to their “banners" being torn down and the battle being taken "underground" suggests a secretive or hidden aspect to the relationship and the mention of "crimson clover" could be seen as references to the loss and sacrifice of the relationship. This is also perhaps a connection to “Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve” and it’s mention of the years of tearing down ‘their’ banners and yet the tomb wont close and how memories feel like weapons. While the idea of using war as a metaphor for a relationship may be simple, the themes within it offer a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of this relationship and the challenges that come with forgiving and healing from it. Also I absolutely cannot stand daylight, but totally respect your opinion.

I will say I like the Great War because the first time I heard it, it made me think of my husbands battle with cancer. I COMPLETELY agree that it’s not the best song on the album but it makes me reflect on the way art is given meaning by who is consuming it. If Great War is just about a fight with Joe (which feels not super deep) it’s cool that I can hear it and relate to it in a totally different way! Just thoughts. 🤗

I kinda think The Great War is more about her fight with Joe in a way that it was a fight with herself.

well to be fair we have hours of content ....

Love the new rankings! Love your vlogs and hope you’re doing okay. I have a different interpretation of glitch and where it goes chronologically, for me it seems clearly about joe and the “I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this” time period of them becoming serious (so after bejeweled). Because I’m the song she’s saying I’ve only known love that fails with dudes who give me nothing, this is a glitch that we are together and happy and not what I thought would happen. Also the line “I’m not even sorry nights are so starry bloodmoon lit, it must be counterfeit” seems like “starry eyes sparking up my darkest night” + “the moon is high like your friends were the night that we first met” + “put you in jail for something you didn’t do”/“somewhere in the haze got a sense of been betrayed”. Also, I love the Great War and high infidelity for the exact same reason you dislike them, to me they are ear candy instead of a terrible sound, I can’t stop listening from the first beats, and no I don’t like daylight or Dorothea, ears are just different sometimes.

I really loved ur vlogs. I’m sure I’m not the only one who really appreciates your vulnerability, so thank you!!!! ❤❤ But I also adore your other videos!!

Omg can't wait for the next podcast! Thanks for doing this video. Yay! Hope you had a wonderful and safe trip there. I need to watch those soon! :) Happy Holidays coming up to you and your family. :)

I love that you're obsessed with Dear Reader ♥️ I think it might be in my top 2 on the album, and I initially called it a SKIP on first listen. I deserve to be shamed.

Great episode! I’m gonna try the new track list. I love the production on Glitch.

I just found you through tiktok and wow, you have such a great voice for videos like this! I loved listening along to your insights even if they didn’t always align with mine 😊 I love hearing other people’s opinions of her songs! Would you consider doing a video where you rank your personal top 13 Taylor Swift songs? I think it would be great to hear why you love them and what you think of the songs!

You do these rearrangings so well!! I agree You’re on your own kid sounds like it should be at the end, like a realisation not an emotional track 5

I'm here very late, but i love ur album list!! You cut the right songs, and made it make more sense to me, ty 💖

you have a good taste. I think the order you put these songs in your tracklist make perfect sense to me, sounds very cohesive but i think that musically and sonically doesnt work much in my opinion I mean put these much more tense concepts and sounds in the beggining of the album literally when i listened the playlist you made, it put a bit anxious. i think how it was originally released made it a little bit more digestible.(to put upbeat /down beat tracks) actually until I listened to your order I didnt realized how dense Midnights is.

Im so onboard with your track list!! Even though I like Vigilante S*it, your narrative makes SO MUCH SENSE. I still need to take some time to forgive you for putting Paris in very very good, but I’ll get there Zach 😂 at least it gets cut on your track list Loved your little tree there. So sweet! Happy holidays!!

I turned off the World Cup final to watch this. Absolutely obsessed 🫶

The hits different erasure 💀

i listened to your playlist and can confirm it is SOO much better

I loved your playlist! I loved WCS and Maroon back to back, so powerful! The clean version of Lavender Haze threw me off 😂 I don’t think I’ve ever heard it before. I loved it going out on the end of YOYOK, it was so positive ❤️

I remember on first listen, I had a feeling that if Midnights were just reordered a bit, it would be her most grown up sounding album yet. After listening to your playlist, I can confirm that hypothesis! Well done, listening to it in your order makes the album so much darker, which I am definitely here for. So thank you, I will listen to the album like this from now on. PS thank you for leaving in Labyrinth even though you hate it 😂

Great video thank you for the entertainment and can't wait to listen to this track list.

I really am in need of friends like Zac ✨ someone I can really dive deep with in Taylor's chaotic mind

Can’t wait for the next video x

my thoughts on your revised tracklist (as someone who would probably advocate for very few changes to the tracklist at all): 1. thematically i see how dear reader would make a great opener, but sonically it just doesn't really set the vibes well. this is a pop album at the end of the day, so the first track kinda needs to be a banger. also, personally i think lavender haze can't be beat as an opener because i'm someone who does see a narrative in all of midnights (standard edition), and it sets the scene really well: taylor awake in the middle of the night with joe, trying to blot out the present as she begins to reflect on the past. 2. honestly agree, anti-hero is one of the songs that really sets the vibes for the album and although i LOVE LOVE LOVE maroon it makes more sense later in the tracklist when she's lost in the past. 3. disagree... both labyrinth & sweet nothing are songs where taylor is making peace with the present after all the chaos of the past and those fit at the end of the narrative really well, not the beginning. 4. yeah this works fine. midnight rain works very well as one of the first reflection songs about the past, i would personally put yoyok first but whatever. 5. i mean if you're intent on yoyok being a closer than yeah wcs is the next best choice for track 5, and i see how it could fit the narrative. again, i think yoyok is definitely a track 5 and i like how it begins a pipeline of songs where taylor is spiraling into the past, but i see where you're coming from. 6. agree with this one completely tbh. 7. glitch is not good enough for a place on the standard edition (sorry) but if it had to be, this would make sense 8. nah... bejeweled works well as the end of the reminiscing tracks on the standard edition. she's still lost in the past but at least it's a semi-happy memory, which transitions well into labyrinth and then the rest 9. karma is again a song about making peace with the present so it should be closer to the end but i get where you're coming from 10. track 10 is too late for question, it belongs earlier with the songs about spiralling in the past... 11. the great war doesn't fit in the narrative anywhere and that's why it's a bonus track, but this placement kinda fits i guess 12. mastermind not being a closing track just makes so sense to me sorry... like how does the story continue after that 13. yeah this is my issue with your tracklist... the narrative is gone. i get that it was a kinda vague story to begin with, but now there is absolutely none 14. this works i guess but the current version is better sorry as for the songs you cut... i mean you have your reasons so that's okay, but removing vigilante shit is kinda weird when it inspired the cover art this would be my revised tracklist 1. lavender haze 2. anti-hero 3. you're on your own, kid (i know i said this is a track 5, and it is, but from a narrative viewpoint it kinda messes things up. i feel like taylor wrote it and was like "this is track 5", but then she just shoved some random songs before it to make that happen, which made the narrative less clear) 4. midnight rain 5. would've could've should've 6. question...? 7. maroon 8. vigilante shit 9. bejeweled 10. labyrinth 11. karma 12. sweet nothing 13. mastermind epilogue: dear reader (idk where to put this song. mastermind is the perfect closing track but so is dear reader in an entirely different way. very similar to folklore with hoax and the lakes). imo this should've been a target exclusive along with hits different, but dear reader was the one song that got released at 3 am. bonus tracks (should've been released a week or two after midnights) the great war bigger than the while sky paris high infidelity glitch snow on the beach hits different gosh i spent way too much time writing this

I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one who thought Midnight Rain would be one of the best on the album before the album dropped. I would say that was one of the ones I was most excited for and it’s definitely in my top three for midnights. Not sure if it’s #1 but it’s up there.

The phrase "bleep bloop song" is added to my vocabulary now

This is genius (even if I don't share any of your ranking opinions lol)! Where would you put Hits Different, if anywhere?

The Question…? and Dear Reader appreciation is much welcomed! Love these two. Bejeweled is another one of my personal favorites from the album. Didn’t like the sound of High Infidelity on first listen either, it’s grown on me a little bit, but I understand that someone might not like it since it’s not her best work. Your tracklist is very interesting, more thoughtful than the original one.

Does anyone else feel like the sound effect that follows the verses in maroon (the dropping ish sound) kind of sounds like "the plane going down" its really conveys that feeling of a relationship ending again and the despair that comes with it

The amount of god tier songs you had made me think I'm too critical. There are 2, maybe 3 songs I see potentially cracking my Top 20. Most of this album's tracks fall in mid to low tiers for me

You put all my favourites in the meh section so we definitely have opposite tastes!

by the way, Midnights IS a visual album (probably)! not many people are talking about it for some reason, but in the Variety directors on directors interview, Martin mentioned that there are 11 (more) videos for Midnights, and Taylor herself said she has directed about 10 music videos alone already (only 6 have been released).

@@MissteriousMisstress i mean, from the sounds of it most of the videos have yet to be recorded, and for now she's definitely holding the lavender haze mv until january because it's getting a proper single push and that will help chart placement

it's automatically not a visual album bc the videos have no relation to each other lol. bejewelled is not part of some wider project it's very clearly just an Easter egg vehicle. and pretty much all of the visuals in the trailer we've already seen. what's left is only the lavender haze music video imo. just because she has 11 unreleased videos does not mean they are for midnights, she could've been talking to him before they were rolling about projects that were scrapped. time will tell and I will be right x

@theswiftologist the timestamps i'm referencing in the interview are 2:50 and 38:30. taylor definitely said she's directed about 10 music videos, and martin definitely said 11 videos specifically for midnights. but yeah, i agree nothing is for certain until she confirms it directly! i just think if either of them said anything obviously wrong it would've been cut out. also i think "visual album" just means an album where every song has a music video. they don't necessarily need to all be connected. that's just based on 2 minutes of google searching tho lol

The pain of Hits different not getting the reaction it deserves

Thinking about which would be my pick for album opener, I realised that there aren't many songs on Midnights with enough strength. Dear Reader is nice but I think it sounds a bit anemic... I do agree with you that this album has some very good songs (I think YOYOK, Anti-Hero and CWS are the best ones, lirically) but they still can't compare to her previous works. I do like this record, but it is a bit all over the place, and some songs don't fit at all (Sweet Nothing and Paris come to mind). In my opinion, this album was an excuse for the tour, but it could've used a bit more editing and focus in the production.

we need the improved the tracklist of red and fearless as well! ❤❤❤

question...? is my favourite on midnights. so underrated

the great war and daylight are probably my 2 fav songs writing wise
