is this influencing me? i gotta take this off  i'm disgusted with myself i thought i had such an opinion and now it's i don't want to take it  off though if only she made an evermore cardigan hey guys it's nicole welcome to my channel or  welcome back to my channel if you're new here don't forget to subscribe for more taylor swift  related content if this whole outfit doesn't tell you how conflicted i am about this whole  thing i don't know what does i have the evermore braid and the folklore ca
rdigan okay so this  is the age-old question that has been analyzed by lots of different people the general consensus  seems to be that people think that folklore is the better overall album as far as themes and stuff  go and then evermore has better songs what does this mean really? so i wrote down some of folklore's  strengths definitely the teenage love triangle having three songs that go together so well  and have caused so much speculation among fans and even casual listeners my most viewed
video  is literally titled does betty take james back this was a very strong thing that folklore  had that evermore kind of didn't there was the whole dorothea tis the damn season sort  of subplot, but that just did not have as much interest there were only two songs as opposed to  three so i gotta give it to folklore that it had that little extra bit of interest you know with  those love triangle songs there's also the whole champagne problems thing which champagne problems  is going to be a f
an favorite there's no doubt about that however there was no like response  from the (guy who got rejected) there was no song to like fill that blank in that could  have made evermore a little bit more stronger as far as the easter eggs and digging goes i love  the cohesive film references that are happening in folklore that everyone's obsessed with  so overall i think the themes of folklore really fit together nicely there's  recurring imagery that's happening it feels just verbally cohesive i
also think that there's a  little bit of psychology at play here where people immediately equate something that is very black  and white to something that is cohesive because evermore's album art is in color and kind of that  golden brown tone i think people view the strict black and white of folklore to kind of connect  the album to something that is more cohesive whether or not it actually is at least musically.  i agree thematically and lyrically. for example august to me it feels very like 9
0s acoustic pop  type of sounds seven makes me think of the 60s like the folk thing i was definitely getting joni  mitchell vibes from seven mirrorball makes me think of the 70s like almost kind of abba-y if you  look back at my initial folklore reaction from 2020 those three songs right after the other it was  like 90s 60s 70s whatever order they're in i was getting different decades from each one epiphany  makes me think of like norwegian choral music i think aaron desner has also talked about
this  betty is very musically reminiscent of piano man all that harmonica invisible string makes me think  of irish folk peace is almost like thunderstorm jazz is that a genre? it is now like musically what  is it doing? it's not really that cohesive and i think people like to say this and that doesn't  make something bad red was my favorite album up until folklore dropped sometimes stuff that's very  cohesive can also sometimes mean boring so you know it depends who's saying whether it's cohes
ive  or not whether that's a compliment i think maybe people might be thinking about the 1 of piano  riffs like in hoax mad woman the one exile i could see that but overall i do think it's lyrical  themes that lend to the cohesion also i gotta give it to folklore that folklore has a stronger album  title albums that don't have title tracks seem to be some of the better album titles for taylor 1989  is such a good title for it the entire album that 1989 was reputation folklore what does evermore 
even mean in the context of the evermore track list? i feel like you could maybe swap it out for  songs like, gold rush would have been really cool long story short i just kind of see a lot of  these as something that maybe would have worked while folklore undoubtedly has to be the title  of folklore evermore's strengths okay each song definitely can stand on its own without having to  listen to the whole album all the way through. evermore;s songs have shown up on my playlist and they  have ag
ed better than songs from folklore that just suddenly show up i feel like when i want to  listen to a folklore song i have to listen to the entire album but with evermore i don't feel like  that i feel like i could listen to an evermore song and then move on to either another artist  or another taylor album and it would just flow i guess? while with folklore it almost feels like  the songs of folklore have to kind of lean on each other to create the whole picture and then  you get the full exper
ience. i'm going to be 100% honest before going into this analysis i think  i prefer evermore just the slightest bit more because of how easy it is to get back into that  world folklore feels like such a specific vibe and time also evermore has higher highs and lower  lows i would say which is something i individually really appreciate it's why red was my favorite  album until folklore and evermore came around marjorie made me cry absolute buckets could not  breathe sobbing no body no crime made
me like laugh and i was just incredulous about that track the  only thing that can kind of compare on folklore is the last great american dynasty but that aha  moment doesn't slap like it does with no body no crime and you can really dance to gold rush like  that beat is so intriguing for that album ivy has this emily dickinson style lyricism and it works  so well with the unique dark academia aesthetic that people associate with evermore she hid it  right on the head with ivy and that chorus i
s actual cocaine so today i'm just going to side by  side compare each song from folklore and evermore because they both conveniently have 17 tracks  when including the bonus tracks and we'll see if evermore really is my favorite we're going to  compare overall concepts versus choruses bridges instrumental sections chord progressions and pay  attention to cliches and weak rhymes if there are any we're going to be looking at these songs  under a very intense microscope considering these are the b
est songs of her entire career the bar  is very high so don't get offended okay overall concept i mean the 1 i feel like the hook is  pretty self-explanatory it would have been fun if you would have been the one a nostalgic look back  on a lost love willow is like kind of surrendering to a love life was a willow and it bent right to  your wind so this person is the wind who is like bending over her willow and changing all of her  plans it might kind of be like the beginning of a relationship the
more that you say the less i  know and she just knows she's willing to risk it for this person even if things aren't completely  stable yet because the relationship is very new i think i might have to give it to willow because  she turns it into this plant metaphor that's very interesting while the 1, you know that hook of it  would have been fun if you would have been the one not the most original idea as far as chord  progression they're both actually pretty similar in that i think it's only
two chords for a little  bit in the beginning yeah oh my god it is they're very similar in that regard okay maybe it's a tie  on that front okay verses, chorus and bridge okay the film references you know the greatest films  of all time were never made you know the greatest loves of all time are over now those are two of  the most heart-wrenching lyrics i also like that i thought i saw you at the bus stop i didn't though  like imagining things that aren't there oh my god but the imagery of willo
w i'm like the water when  your ship rolled in that night it's rough on the surface but you cut through like a knife lost in  your current like a priceless wine wait for the signal and i'll meet you after dark show me the  places where the others gave you scars okay even me just verbally saying that i gotta give it to  willow man okay instrumental sections and melody okay they're both really catchy they're both easy  to sing to especially the 1 because it's like even though it gets a little bit
repetitive  i think the willow melody is a little bit more interesting and also that guitar it's  very intriguing i feel like it's a little bit unfair to compare the 1 to willow  because willow was the single and i think taylor chose it for a reason because it was very  interesting sounding i gotta give that to willow cliches and weak rhymes okay i have to point  out that the 1 rhymes one with fun it would have been fun if you would have been the one it's  definitely a cliche there is a very str
ong lack of cliches in both folklore and evermore which i love  i love when someone says something in a way that no one's ever said before why else would you try  to write lyrics if it's going to be something that has been done before? does willow have any cliches  wherever you stray i follow a little bit the one okay back to the one i'm doing good i'm on some  new ____ been saying yes instead of no i hit the ground running each night ground running that's  kind of a cliche and i hit the ground
running you know that one i guess you never know never  know and if you wanted me you should have showed a little bit cliche i hate that i'm finding this  out just now i shouldn't be analyzing these like this it's gonna ruin it for me i think it  goes to willow i think willow's the better opening track holy ____ this is gonna be  tough okay concept okay cardigan is obviously part of the teenage love triangle being young and  knowing that this love is going to get you through life versus this ela
borate college student  proposal set up with all these details your sister splashed out on the bottle and then the  whole bridge oh my god the bridge your midas touch on the chevy door she talks about how they  lived in this dorm they have a group of friends that they share she really builds this exposition  for almost this story i think i have to give it to champagne problems chord progression and time  signature okay based on my cover i think champagne problems was only four chords they might
tie  i might get rid of that section if i'm being honest with you verses, chorus and bridge cardigan  tells such a story and so does champagne problems ____ god this is difficult i have to give it to  champagne problems because the bridge says all you need to know how do you beat that ?cardigan's  bridge is to kiss in cars and downtown bars was all we needed you drew stars around my scars  but now i'm bleeding that's a really good line stepping on the last train marked me like a blood  stain oka
y this would definitely be a matter of personal preference and to me i appreciate the  storytelling of champagne problems' bridge more but the chosen illusions peter and wendy leaving like  a father running like water that is incredibly smart this is not to say that cardigan has a bad  bridge at all but it's like i think champagne problems beats it instrumental sections and melody  okay i have to give that to cardigan maybe ____. this is so much harder than i thought it was  going to be that's r
eally hard is that another tie i'm going to scream i would tie it for cliches  and weak rhymes too honestly because they both maybe have like one the hook of cardigan is so  interesting okay it has to be champagne problems that bridge is almost like something that doesn't  even give champagne problems one point it gives it a few points and even when it ties on other  things champagne problems still takes the cake okay concept i have to give it to the last  great american dynasty she wrote about
the previous owner of her house that's crazy gold  rush is also a really beautiful concept and she took something that other people have  written about and made it her own but that still doesn't make it as interesting as the last  great american dynasty okay verses chorus bridge guys taylor shines when she's telling a story  i feel like gold rush could have had a little bit more storytelling it's beautiful imagery eyes  like sinking ships on waters yeah gold rush relies mostly on imagery with th
e last great american  dynasty, i almost said dinosaur, woodvale is that you? the third sister album coastal towns padding  across your wooden floors um it talks about going to parties with this person yeah it's  just like an imagination type of thing but oh my god the standard oil name she mentioned  st louis salt box houses their wedding how her husband had like heart problems her _____ pack  friends rhode island salvador dali this is crazy it goes to the last great american dynasty i i'm  sad
because i love gold rush okay verses chorus bridge it's also the last great american dynasty  basically for all the reasons that i just said instrumental sections and melody i have to give  it to gold rush the catchiness of gold rush is completely unbeatable i think that's why gold rush  is so beloved is just because of how it sounds cliches and weak rhymes rush with flush that's  unique quick brush rose blush bone crush very unique coastal town wandered round fades  into the gray of my day old
tea beautiful internal rhyme happening there there's not a single cliche  there rhyming gauche with goes on the last great american dynasty okay there are no weak rhymes on  either of those that's very impressive no cliches i had a marvelous time ruining everything while  that's not super specific it's still very taylor marvelous time what a marvelous tune there are  no cliches. these are both flawless okay the last great american dynasty wins because the concept  is stronger. i love gold rush!
concept okay exile it's supposedly about like an exiled man it's  kind of like a metaphor for a relationship though film references again okay well tis the damn  season is part of like a two-person sort of perspective song duo tis the damn season and that  being written by the person who wrote christmas tree farm that's funny okay i have to give it to  tis the damn season okay verses chorus and bridge tis the damn season again it's way more visual  oh my god i parked my car right between the me
thodist and the school that used to be ours  the holidays linger like bad perfume versus like i can see you standing with his arms around your  body laughing but the joke's not funny at all it took you five whole minutes to pack us up and  leave me with it not the most descriptive god i have to analyze the ____ out of these balancing  on breaking branches is a beautiful line though the second verse is stronger than the first verse  on exile step right out there's no amount of crying i can do for
you all this time we always  walked a very thin line you didn't even hear me out those are kind of cliche while the alternative  would be sleep in half the day just for old time's sake i won't ask you to wait if you don't ask me  to stay so i'll go back to la and the so-called friends who'll write books about me if i ever make  it i think that's just a little bit stronger yeah i have to give it to 'tis the damn season okay  instrumental and melody i love the call and response sort of bridge dyn
amic exile has going on  i might give that to exile yeah exile has a lot of variation in melody while tis the damn season can  almost get a little bit repetitive with the guitar not in a bad way at all i love both of them and  how they sound but i think exile is a little bit more dynamic cliches and weak rhymes i think exile has  a little bit it's just a little bit vague not bad by any means or super cliche but i think i have  to give it to tis the damn season concept so we all know what my tear
s ricochet is about i think i  just have to go ahead and give it to that because holy ____ she's talking about like her own  funeral almost she's talking about this betrayal as if he's like burying her that's rough chord  progression and time signature okay this is the where i really wanted to use this little  category tolerate it i think is in like five four which is very unique for contemporary songs i just  have to point that out how interesting that sounds verses chorus bridge okay both of t
he verses seem  the second verse of my tears ricochet is stronger than either verse in tolerate it we gather stones  never knowing what they'll mean some to throw some to make a diamond ring you know i didn't want  to have to haunt you but what a ghostly scene you wear the same jewels that i gave you as  you bury me really sticking to that theme here if i'm dead to you why are you at the wake? i  have to give it to my tears ricochet i thought i liked tolerate it more okay so the instrumental  of
tolerate it is much more interesting i think oh ____, the bridge is so good this is awful  okay they might tie on verses chorus and bridge that bridge of tolerate it is nuts okay cliches  and weak rhymes let's see if we can find any i think the dynamics of tolerate it just make it a  little bit better to me and that bridge i have to give it to tolerate it, i have to it's so good concept  okay mirrorball being about being a people pleaser how challenging that can be and no body no crime a  liter
al imagined true crime story and how taylor would navigate that that's so fun i understand  mirrorball is from personal experience but like i love that she has such an imagination i have to  give the concept point to no body no crime verses chorus bridge okay the chorus of mirrorball  is better than no body no crime's but the story that no body no crime tells is so smart and it's  entirely self-written i have to give it to no body no crime instrumental sections and melody oh ____, that's a tie m
irrorball is very abba-like and beautiful and so pretty but no body no crime is  like this westerny country sound it has harmonica cliches and weak rhymes okay the entire chorus  of no body no crime is a little weak i gotta say so i give that to mirrorball god the winner is  barely no body no crime okay no body no crime some people are going to be really mad at me  about that but i'm a huge no body no crime fan happiness is my least favorite song on evermore  just because of the instrumentals so
already i can just tell you seven the folk execution  that is just amazing on seven instrumental and melody is beautiful okay concept happiness is  like a divorce and seven is like remembering your childhood friend even if you can't even remember  what they look like anymore or what they would look like today a lot of people can relate to  that i think i think seven's concept is stronger okay verses chorus and bridge okay happiness honey  when i'm above the trees i see it for what it is showed
you all my hiding spots i was dancing  when the music stopped there's also lots of strong gatsby references though that are really beautiful  and the bridge seven years in heaven whoa she references seven that's so funny and it's track  seven- whoa okay, good alliteration every goddamn night now i get fake niceties but then seven  has such a beautiful sort of thing with i've been meaning to tell you i think your house is  haunted your dad is always mad that must be why you won't have to cry or h
ide in the closet that  could mean like having a friend who's lgbtq and from a young age like wanting to make sure they're  going to be taken care of that could mean so much to so many people okay seven is a little bit more  concise it gets its point across in less words i think i have to give it to that one ____, but  happiness has such good gatsby references but that does not make a better song like that's like it's  really smart references but like seven has stuff that's very original it coul
d be referenced one  day in another song by someone else but i don't think either of them really have any cliches  yeah okay happiness could just be a little bit more concise say more in less words like seven  does okay the chorus maybe is a little bit cliche there will be happiness after you but there was  happiness because of you both of these things can be true there is happiness you and true one of  the most standard rhymes of all time ____, is happiness not getting a single point? okay seve
n's  the winner oh this is hard these are both in their own little story lines within the album i think  august has a stronger concept just because all of the ways it ties into betty and cardigan it's  a little more intriguing yeah and i think we see that especially with the lack of speculation  with dorothea okay verses chorus bridge i guess i'll never know you'll go on with the  show it's never too late to come back to my side the stars in your eyes shine brighter in tupelo. i can see us lost
in the memory august slipped away into a moment in time because it was never  mine august sipped away like a bottle of wine that's very clever oh the bridge yeah august  has it are you kidding? instrumental sections and melody okay if we're not going to talk about  the break where it's like remember when i pulled up and said get in the car and then cancelled my  plans, okay august beats it there too okay cliches and weak rhymes are there any in either of them? i  don't think either of them reall
y have many if any even something as simple as living for the hope  of it all is now such a recognizable line from this song that i wouldn't call it a cliche yeah  neither of them do okay it goes to august then okay this is me trying concept is amazing because  of how many different situations it can apply to the like burnt out gifted kid sort of scenario  addiction depression any sort of mental illness someone being burnt out in general coney island  a love where two people kind of have taken e
ach other for granted and they compare it to  the desolate coney island in the winter beautiful imagery but this is me trying is stronger because  it's more applicable okay verses chorus and bridge okay this is me trying is very relatable but coney  island has such a storyline and the bridge i think is a hint at the re-recording order and it's  like a hark back to all of her relationships that she's written about red, 1989 speak now it's  very well thought out we were like the mall before the in
ternet it was the one place to be oh god but  this is me trying has the best line of her entire career they told me all of my cages were mental so  i got wasted like all my potential i was so ahead of the curve the curve became a sphere i think  that's the best verse of her life i have to give it to coney island okay instrumentals and melodies  of course of coney island is so catchy coney island has a little more longevity i gave it to  coney island i can't okay cliches and weak rhymes adjusting
with rusting that's so cool um the  chorus of this is me trying could be a little bit weak i guess the chorus of coney island is  very interesting i give it to coney island that's the better song so many people are not  going to agree with that okay concept illicit affairs obviously an illicit affair ivy cheating  on your- wait these are about the same thing! well that's kind of a tie as far as concept  goes that's so funny okay verses chorus and bridge ivy is written in the style of emily  dic
kinson for sure but with illicit affairs you like need a dictionary it's very intellectual  i think because illicit affairs is more original i guess with ivy it's like she's using the style of  emily dickinson and with illicit affairs it's like she took a dictionary and decided she was going to  make her own little way of speaking i think i have to give it to illicit affairs instrumental sections  and melody okay ivy has the most beautiful guitar it doesn't vary much though illicit affairs has 
the most haunting vocal type of thing that just like haunts my dreams i have to give it to illicit  affairs cliches and weak rhymes neither no none of them okay so illicit affairs wins oh my god  i'm afraid what if i like more folklore songs ?? concept invisible string her love joe and the  concept of fate i guess cowboy like me being a bandit verses, chorus, and bridge okay invisible  string is really beautiful because it uses that irish green was the color of the grass teal was  the color of y
our shirt bad was the blood of the song in the cab bold was the waitress cold  was the steel gold was the color of the leaves very beautiful and together i guess. cowboy like  me has alliteration dancing is a dangerous game this is going to be one of those things now i know  i'm never going to love again that's a little bit cliche i'm waiting by the phone like i'm sitting  in an airport bar beautiful imagery i love you're a cowboy like me perched in the dark she could  have said so many other ve
rbs she chose perched i have to give it to invisible string, it's more  interesting instrumental sections and melody okay cowboy like me is like that western luxury feel and  invisible string is like irish some people think cowboy like me maybe drags a little bit though  i could see it. it had to grow on me invisible string i liked right off the bat so it is easier  to get into okay cliches and weak rhymes cowboy like me has a little bit very few but a little bit  okay i have to give it to invis
ible string i'm so nervous i'm gonna like folklore more. now my entire  personality is gonna be just like wrecked okay mad woman=sexism and long story short being kind  of like a evermore version of getaway car i think mad woman it's scathing, verses, chorus and bridge  mad woman makes me think of my tears ricochet a little bit long story short is interesting because  it's like alley type of thing i tried to pick my bottles till the battle picked me like i brought a  knife to a gunfight i was in
the alley surrounded on all sides the knife cuts both ways if the  shoe fits walk in it till your high heels break spin on a cliche phrase so it's no longer cliche  pushed from the precipice beautiful and long story short mentions evermore okay that gets a point  instrumental sections ooh mad woman has an amazing drum beat at the end that almost like kind of  accelerates it's dark and it feels like fire cliche's/weak rhymes every time you call me crazy  i get more crazy when you say i seem angr
y i get more angry a little bit but not too much neither  okay let's see which one has more points okay so it is mad woman just by one. concept okay epiphany  being her grandfather's experience in war that he had never talked about to her but she kind of made  her own ideas marjorie honoring her grandmother epiphany's concept is a little stronger because it  applies to so many people also the like healthcare workers going on yeah that was honestly just such  a culturally needed sort of thing and
thanks for health care workers verses, chorus, and bridge  okay the bridge of marjorie hands down is just gonna beat epiphany the way it made me sob buckets  instrumental sections and melody i have to give it to marjorie because epiphany drags a little bit  for me but also epiphany includes that little heart monitor sound you're alive in my head could  maybe be one but the way she does it with like you're alive in my head because i hear you like  singing to me she elaborates on it further in th
e song and it like cancels out. the entire bridge  makes me want to scream yeah neither of them have any cliches but it is marjorie just because  the bridge and the instrumental. concept betty is part of the teenage love triangle apology male  apology sort of vibes closure is like i don't need your closure to somebody who wronged her betty's  stronger concept okay let's look at the lyrics i got your letter i'm doing better it cut deep  to know you right to the bone i don't need your closure i'm
fine with my spite and my tears and  my bears and my candles that's a good one more sea imagery for evermore yeah it is cohesive i'm a  liar evermore's actually very cohesive as far as thematically and lyrically okay betty tells such  an interesting story so well. i was walking home on broken cobblestones the bridge is like such  a climax i give it to betty instrumental sections and melody okay we all are uncomfortable about the  percussion of closure so i'm going to give that to betty because t
hat harmonica is beautiful everyone  immediately really liked how it sounded cliches and weak rhymes they both have a few weaknesses  will you have me will you love me there's that for betty i like rhyming she says with inez  and then closure has like i got your letter i'm doing better it cut deep to know you yeah kind of  bad blood-ish but better much better pretty even i feel like closure is a little bit weaker lyrically  okay betty takes the cake these are very similar concepts not being able
to give someone peace  and then kind of not finding peace for yourself is it a tie i think it's a tie verses, chorus, and  bridge never had the courage of my convictions i'm a fire i'll keep your brittle heart  warm if your cascade ocean wave blues come i think the lyrics of peace are a little bit  stronger instrumental sections and melody that's evermore because that bridge is insane the way it  like speeds up all that interesting piano going on okay so now to find which one has any cliches  o
r weak rhymes. ____ it's a tie okay let's bring back that chord progression and time signature  category does the time signature change? if it does it's going to be evermore evermore musically  is so interesting it's a freaking tie but i pick evermore but just know it's kind of a tie because  evermore's musically so interesting but peace has some very what's the word? succinct lyrics  concept toxic relationship with hoax it's time to go well it says that there it's time to go i feel  like it's t
ime to go is pretty self-explanatory it's time to go um knowing when to leave a  situation hoax should meet it's time to go because that girl does not need to be going through that ____it's time to go has a more interesting concept when just looking at the concept but when lyrics  come into play i think hoax is stronger my only one my smoking gun my eclipsed sun stood on the  cliffside screaming give me a reason the visuals yeah the bridge of hoax is so much stronger than  the bridge of it's tim
e to go sometimes giving up is the strong thing sometimes to run is the  brave thing sometimes walking out is the one thing instrumental and melody hoax has the most  beautiful piano the most beautiful head voice taylor's singing in stood on the cliffside  screaming give me a reason the light vocal tone is incredible cliches and weak rhymes oh  we just saw that it's time to go does have some so hoax is the winner here okay the lakes amazing  concept ____, romanticism this like escapism beautiful
nature references right where you left  me is like a story of the girl who could never move on from her breakup very beautiful fictional  stuff but i love that the lakes takes inspiration from like all those poets from the lakes district  i think that's amazing to talk about that area as well as kind of write like them it's really  creative okay the lakes takes that verses, chorus, and bridge the only weak part of right where you  left me is the chorus or post chorus i guess right where you lef
