Just a couple of things about When Emma Falls in Love
Love the song. Totally my vibe. Perfect road trip vibes. So this first thing I noticed while listening in the car. Y’all know I really love music. Especially how you can make production speak for you in special ways. For example a strategically placed hi-hat in When Emma Falls in Love makes a world a difference even just for one chorus…
What do I mean? In the second chorus Taylor sings “sometimes I wish I was her” and holds the “her” and there is a faint *tssss* that finishes off the end of the word. To me that production in the second chorus creates “hers” 🤡. I’ll happily be a clown about this sound.
Second thing is a little more grounded. In the lyric video when Taylor sings “And to tell you the truth, sometimes I wish I was her” the words appear in reverse from “truth” up to “And” then from “her” back to “sometimes”. Almost as if to say she means the opposite of what she is saying.
Here’s a quick clip from the lyric video that touches on both points:
I’ve been learning Norwegian with books and Duolingo for the last (almost) year and every time I read “helgen” I instantly think of the exact opposite of what I’m supposed to think of. Practicing Norwegian? Think of Skyrim. Playing Skyrim? Why is this town named “the weekend”? I can’t win. The wrong one is always the first to come to mind
The curse of reading indie books strikes again, because I desperately need to discuss the Emma M. Lion series with you, but no one will know what I'm talking about.
Me? Still bitter that Emma and Killian didn’t get to exchange their vows aboard the Jolly Roger even though they both clearly liked the idea? Pfff, noooo. Do I look like I still think it was unfair that Killian’s first and only suggestion about his own wedding got shut down in 0.5 seconds? (Henry, buddy, I just wanna talk) Do I look like I was disappointed to see 50 random extras dancing a weird disney channel-esqe choreography instead of more scenes from the actual wedding? Do I look like I expected a best man speech? Or any of the couple’s actual friends turning up?
Me, opening up a packet of the stuff the vet gave me: “I hope this probiotic powder doesn’t put my cat off his food. Can’t really help with his digestion issues if he doesn’t eat it”
I spill some because my hands can have problems with stability
My cat: *licks the stuff up like a kid who just discovered what powdered sugar was*
Me: “is this flavored?”
My cat: begs me for more powder and momentarily forgets his food
