Apparently, it leaked today. (Please do not post leaks.) I've heard some interesting things about it, such as how a few lines line up with hoax. Also, people keep saying this song refers to a possible engagement or pregnancy, but who knows how true those things are.
Lyrics: [Verse 1] Is it romantic how all of my elegies eulogize me? I'm not cut out for all these cynical clones These hunters with cell phones [Chorus] Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry I'm setting off, but not without my muse [Verse 2] What should be over burrowed under my skin In heart-stopping waves of hurt I've come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze Tell me what are my words worth [Chorus] Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry I'm setting off, but not without my muse [Bridge] I want auroras and sad prose I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet Because I haven't moved in years And I want you right here A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground With no one around to tweet it While I bathe in cliffside pools With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief [Chorus] Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry I'm setting off, but not without my muse No, not without you |

it's nice but definitely in my bottom 3 after two listens, I'm not gonna listen again until I get my physical CD but I do think it'll grow on me quickly!

I like it, but it's also toward the bottom of my list right now.

I’ve downloaded this to my spotify now from my CD copy so I’m gonna be listening so much more now 🥰🥰
It’s sounding so beautiful today!! Obvs it’s hard to compare rn cos I’ve heard the rest of the album so much more but I think this’ll leapfrog a couple of the tracks after a few more listens! |

this deserves so much more love!
 It's utterly stunning and it works so perfectly as an album closer too <3 the production is so whimsical, I love.

I imagine this'll be pushed as a single for a streaming release later in the year...

I wouldn't be surprised if they did something like they did with begin again where they give it a video + push it minimally for a couple weeks when it goes onto streaming and that's it. On the other hand I wouldn't be shocked if it just one day randomly appears on Spotify with no hype

On the other hand I wouldn't be shocked if it just one day randomly appears on Spotify with no hype maybe like a re-release similar to 'Fearless' (or what they did with 'Speak Now' where they released the target bonus tracks a year later). Though, I'm with you on the surprise release... you never know. |

Though I'm not overly sure because it's next year she's dropping the re-recordings... right?

Glad they added it, the only place I could listen was my car
I wish they'd added it on a Friday though, would have been cool if it had gone Top 40 |
