Laid is an excellent album, a lot darker than you'd think from the title track

How do you like that mix? I gotta say I prefer the "official" mix, although that might be mainly familiarity.

In my younger & more vulnerable years I had the two Retrospective CDs, and I liked the 80s one a lot better.

patreegs on instagram says

You need to listen to it once completely through while driving a car alone. Then you have to
listen to it indoors lying down. THEN you pick a few and listen to them WHILE you read the lyrics on your computer. You WILL find that you misheard some of the lyrics. DONT panic. Its COMPLETELY normal and healthy. DONT think about taylors life yet and DONT try to make sense of the lyrics and DONT panic if you dont like some of the songs at first bc your brain will LEARN to like them (evolutionary mechanism).
THEN, continue listening on loop as needed but have 2-3 that you sometimes just listen to on repeat. THEN re-emerge into the world and connect with others about their response to the text. THEN apply practically to your life. THEN examine how they fit into taylors. At this point you can start to lightly engage in online discourse if that feels healthy and safe.

See I thought it was about Robert Zimmerman instead because he says his name in the song

I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't really thought through the metaphysical implications of all of this

1

Brian H @anticlimacus.bsky.social · 17d

I've always assumed they'd kinda phase through anything that's in the way. It'd be a shame to be sucked into an airplane engine mid-rapture, for example.

Although I guess technically you'd end up in the same place?

Pretty sure Richard Youngs - Zerkelus is going to end up being my AOTY. I've mostly been listening to older stuff this year though, filling in some gaps in my knowledge. Listened to my first Prince album the other day, for example.
