LOVE Clara Bow and a genius way to end the album. |
Wow crazy opinion. His voice harmonizes with hers so well. |
Bestie I hate to tell you this but in hindsight it’s clear Reputation is about Matty. The “you and me we got big reputations” line from End Game never made sense with regard to Joe, who has zero reputation and was as wild as milk, but if you reframe all the Reputation songs knowing Matty has been in her head for 10 years, it makes way, way more sense. I say this as a diehard Reputation fan too. It’s a Matty album. Lover is Joe for sure though. Complete tone and content shift. Just anxious attachment. |
"Oh, you and me would be a big conversation" - End Game "I, I loved you in spite of deep fears that the world would divide us" - Dancing With Our Hands Tied She sure called it. "You so dope, don't overdose" - End Game. MH had addiction issues a few years back. "Burton to this Taylor, every love I've known in comparison is a failure." - …Ready for It? "Late in the night, the city's asleep Your love is a secret I'm hoping, dreaming, dying to keep." - King of My Heart "For you, I would cross the line They'd say, she's gone too far this time And baby, for you, I would fall from grace Just to touch your face If you walk away I'd beg you on my knees to stay." - I mean she just released TTPD. Like WTF Matty!!!! The more I listen, the more I am convinced that dozens of her songs from the past decade are directly about Matty Healy. |
The “for you I / would fall from grace” line in Don’t Blame Me is the mirror to “l’ll tell you bout my good name / it’s mine alike to disgrace” line in But Daddy I Love Him. |
mine alone*!! |
Hi twin Also "They say, she's gone too far this time" - Don't Blame Me "No, I'm not coming to my senses" - But Daddy I Love Him |
I understand. There are one billion reasons a man would love her. |
But don’t most musicians’ significant others have to deal with this? I mean Bono got together with his wife at age 15 but went on to write love and heartbreak songs for decades after. He is probably taking some artistic liberties and taking inspiration from books, movies, songs, etc as it’s not all drawn from direct experiences of a long-term marriage/coparenting relationship. Same with the lead singer of Green Day Billy Jo Armstrong, Bruce Springsteen, John Bon Jovi, and many more who are in decades long relationships that started young. They still have themes of heartbreak and longing but doesn’t mean they are in miserable relationships all the time. |
I was in an emotional affair for half a decade. I always wondered how she nailed the feelings of an emotional affair in her song "illicit affairs". Now I know.

She really thinks it's charming that she's fkd in the head. |
Can we talk about what is going to change, in if anything, when Eras starts back up next month? Her next show is in Paris on May 9th.
Will she just sing from TTPD in the acoustic set? That would seemsnot to give this album the justice is deserves. Will there be a new set list/new Era? Is TTPD even an Era (I don't think so) or just a purge? Does she even want to sing these songs again? |
I’m curious too. Surely set list will change? No way she relegates these to just surprise songs! Honestly almost all of the Red era minus ATW could go (imo) |
Right but the Red era was when I was going to use the bathroom when I see her next fall! I already had it planned out. |
I’d like to report a murder
