Hello and welcome to this weird crevasse of the internet where we get really excited about music (particularly Taylor Swift) and break down our favourite albums and songs. Our names are Bonny and Emily, and our aim with these videos is to share our love for music and also share context and understanding around the songs, by highlighting breaking down the lyrics, melodies and production. We are so happy to have created this little community that is just as unhinged as us when it comes to music

I just love the fact that "never take advice from someone who is falling apart" is also an advice!! And I feel like she might have done that herself too.

I think the “to a house, not a home, all alone, cause nobody’s there” is so important. Because it links directly to you’re losing me - a house where you live with your partner but you’re still totally isolated and alone.

That would’ve could’ve should’ve and “when you aim at the devil make sure you dont miss” connection 🤯 OFFENSIVE EMILY, yall ate this breakdown😭

The fact that Dear Reader is a reference to Jane Eyre and the famous line “Dear reader, I married him” which is such a contrast to You’re Losing Me 🤯

She talks in Cornelia street about her and Joe being card sharks playing games. Almost like their relationship to that point was a game of poker. But now she’s playing solitaire because he’s not playing cards with her anymore. 😮

I also want to say that “I shine so bright” also correlates perfectly to “a diamond’s gotta shine” in Bejeweled so she’s both the mirrorball and just a straight up diamond, a rare jewel ❤️💎

in the outro when she says "you should find another guiding light, but i shine so bright." it really ties in the album cover where she's holding a lighter.

Your editing skills are PHENOMENAL. How you fade the music in and out is perfection!

"no one sees when you lose when you're playing solitaire" really links back to the contrast of mastermind's "checkmate, i couldn't lose" THERE SO MUCH GOING ON WITH THESE ALBUM CLOSERS!

Thank you so much for appreciating and loving this masterpiece. Sadly, it’s the most underrated song on Midnights album, but it’s also the most superior and the most perfect album closer. 💙💙💙

This is going to sound so random and a bit odd but I LOVE the respect that Emily and Bonny show each other. They always let the other finish speaking (when fathoming takes over that doesn’t count ofc 😂) & encourage each others thought processes. Love seeing healthy female friendships on display like yours. Proud Patreon of this channel! 💕

"I wander through these nights, I prefer hiding in plain sight, my fourth drink in my hand: - the idea that you might have spoken to Taylor Swift in a wig- who introduced herself as "Alison" who's given some fantastic advice- this is an image I cannot get out of my head - and nor do I want to.

I never paid any mind to this song until I was in the shower and just reeling from some terrible things that have happened in my life and this song came on and I finally got it. I’ll just say… this is not a song you should relate to. And all I wanna do is give Taylor a hug cause I can’t imagine how isolating her experiences might make her feel :/

I never realized how many songs, dear reader can connect back to! This is why I love fathoming with you guys! Can’t wait for the next one!

Just to add another layer to the solitaire line: I’ve always related that line back to mastermind as well, which has the game imagery (dominoes) in it. So if she’s the mastermind, drawing up the plans (to make them love her and make it seem effortless) but her tricks fail in some capacity (the relationship with Joe not actually going to *plan*), she has lost at her own game: a game maybe no one even knew she was playing.
