Posted August 6, 20204 yr 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
August 6, 20204 yr 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!
August 7, 20204 yr 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!
August 9, 20204 yr this deserves so much more love! :cry: It's utterly stunning and it works so perfectly as an album closer too <3 the production is so whimsical, I love. :heart:
August 10, 20204 yr Author Hopefully they’ll arrive soon! 🤞 My Target version of folklore is supposed to be delivered today, so we'll see.
August 10, 20204 yr I imagine this'll be pushed as a single for a streaming release later in the year...
August 11, 20204 yr I imagine this'll be pushed as a single for a streaming release later in the year... idk, I did think that at one point but as much as I love it, it really feels like something that'd completely bomb as a single. 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 :lol:

Though, I'm with you on the surprise release... you never know.

August 13, 20204 yr Though I'm not overly sure because it's next year she's dropping the re-recordings... right?
August 18, 20204 yr Glad they added it, the only place I could listen was my car :lol: I wish they'd added it on a Friday though, would have been cool if it had gone Top 40
August 18, 20204 yr They’re fighting for that 4th week at #1 in America then!! I had a feeling it was just gonna drop at some random point aha 😂
August 18, 20204 yr omg it's #1 on US iTunes :rofl: her 41st iTunes US #1!! #6 on UK iTunes too, higher than anything from the album drop right? STOMP. :cheeseblock: STOMP. :cheeseblock: STOMP. :cheeseblock: edit: and a 2nd version at #18!
