And I see

The permanent damage you did to me

♥️

Trump is threatening to bring in the National Guard to the nation's Capitol. He's already done it in LA. He is a fascist testing how to unleash his own Gestappo against Americans once people turn on him during the midterms and 2028 election. It's all right there in front of your eyes, folks.

This song destroys me.

Hope you’re in an okay place.

golden notebook, golden thinking

I totally understand going back to a place when it was fun to look for that feeling again

and I adore Matt Berninger and all of his work. This song is what made me really listen to The National.

Ack!!! I’m in a state. Trying to balance multiple things. And one thing is a new car search for me but my hubs has so many many thoughts. Like I just want to get to A to B. But just watched a YT video longer than an episode of Downton Abbey about a car. Ooof. Are heated steering wheels that great?

So much history before The Alcott even starts. Which is why I love it.

I’m sorry 😢. I went to a flower farm this week and this guy.

So I did feel genuinely sad at some points but also so contrived at some points. I’ve watched worse movies. 🤷🏻‍♀️

ILIPW. RWYLM. The Alcott (not all Taylor)-all stories I’d love to know more about.

Seriously it’s timeless. It can happen for any anniversary and still hit hard. I just hope it happens.

(Evermore is my fav. Emotionally . The song sorters might say differently, but it’s always Evermore)

My Oxford Year. And I enjoyed it enough but your story is better.

You’re welcome. ILIPW is such a great song and holds so much background-like I’ve been there. It’s why I love Taylor’s lyrics so much.

My dream. Even it’s 15 years in the future. Like I’m forever clowning for the rest of my life.

I enjoyed reading this! Definitely better than the movie I just watched on Netflix.

(And I looked ahead when you posted the bracket and have been dreading the vote. But, Ivy)

I agree but I trust that feeling.

If they had tried to make amends, that feeling would be weak.

This is hilarious. I either remember every single detail or nothing.

Maybe my favorite song ever in the entire universe

Oooh I’m listening at this moment. I love this song. My hubs loves this song-he asked me “is this a pandemic song?” and then that was an whole conversation when he was trapped in the passenger seat. 😂.

She’s an amazing songwriter.

Omg. That’s exactly it. I’ll send it to a friend and I know she’ll send back that she loved an outfit Kendall wore 😭

Man, all minority communities said was “please stop killing us” and the Right wing got so mad, they ushered in full fascism and decided to destroy the planet.

Loved it! Thanks for sharing!

I remember everyone hating the Bezos wedding and this happened after and did not get the same response.

They deserved it. It needed to be said without any other details shared.

I had the same experience with The Great War.

Traffic jam. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Then at home listening again with the lyrics.

Just staying open to the possibility it’s a great song is good.

I remember truly listening the first time. Traffic jam on the way home and when the back and forth started, I was crying. Months after the release. 🍁

I had heard it before but that time was different. So that’s the way I think about a lot of songs-there will be a time it might hit.

I will!!! I do so much better when I declare a goal. 😘

I’m not upset if someone on SNAP wants to buy chips.

There are very wealthy people in this country who profit off Americans who have cancer.

That does upset me.

I would love a great public transportation option in my area.

Hahaha. I agree but also love people that don’t care and say it loud.

I mean I have one but my rationale is weird and only gonna make it worse. So I’m reading but not naming a thing.

That’s so great 😍😍😍
