Even though I'm a big fan of both Lorde and the Coldplay, I didn't enjoy listening to your mashup much. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate your effort to create new tracks of this kind but this was so-so. In my opinion the vocals don't fit in the instrumental of Birds. It's a bit out of the place. Perhaps only the "Broadcast the boom boom boom boom and make 'em all dance it" part sits well with me, otherwise I'm not very fond of it. I certainly believe you are capable to make much better works. :)

[spoiler=Call It What You Want: More In Depth Thoughts!]Same. It's just so unique, and at the same time stripped down... That vocal chop melody that begins the track is very nice, the strings build up to the first part where there's not a whole lot going on, and the chorus features a rare instance of where trap drums actually don't sound all that bad and enhance the feeling of it. This keeps going (with a stripped down bridge where the percussion drops for the most part, and a pre chorus kind of section with the same sort of trap drum pattern but pushed back a bit) with the background synths gradually rising each time until the very end where they truly get to shine, and makes the track a melodic emotional masterpiece. Only thing I wish from this track was that at the end after the trap drums cease, the synths and the melodic elements of the song get to shine on their own once more with no percussion, and then the track end as normal with everything stopping, and the singer saying "to" at the end. But overall a surprisingly great track, Taylor Swift's new album, although not necessarily the most melodic or emotional, is in my opinion very creative, unique, and experimental even, she time and time again merges electropop with trap (done right, again) and industrial influences. It's the production on this album, daring to challenge the norm of pop music today, that makes this album great for me. This song IMO is a perfect lead up into the closer, and is very well placed in the album tracklist into New Year's Day, my personal favorite. As much as I like the originality of the other tracks, at the end of the day in my opinion, melodic, emotional tracks always win for me, and the more those two elements shine the more I'll like a track (but the less I'll listen to it in general, since I generally don't want to always feel either so high or so low all the time, and I don't want the song to get old, despite my liking it so much). So yeah. I managed once again to stay on topic this time and not do a bunch of needless explaining. Yay. Posts in length like these at least don't make my hands hurt as much.... [spoiler=HAPPINESS LIES IN YOUR OWN HANDS?]I don't know whether deepening conversations hurts one's brain or one's hands more... :D [spoiler=CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT: MY SHORT ANSWER?]I haven't heard the whole Reputation album but perhaps I might really give it a chance and listen to it. :innocent: Anyway, thank you for your explication. I've learnt something new at least when I have nothing to say whatsoever. :D I'm too lazy and tired for making out something to answer... This time there's no comment of mine. :joy:

[spoiler=DO I USE SPOILERS JUST BECAUSE OF YOU?]This is my first time hearing I Will Wait by Mumford and Sons... I'm quite suprised that I've never heard that anywhere before or I might have but I can't remember when exactly. Anyway, I like that track even though I'm not totally into this genre! However, it reminds me of the songs the Music teacher used to play during the class when we were learning about folk music. :D Let me check it... Oh, they are a folk rock band in fact. Funny. :joy:

[spoiler=HAPPINESS LIES IN YOUR OWN HANDS]Alright. You've made a decision but I actually enjoy reading your extensive posts because every of them gets so deep and involves such interesting thoughts it's nearly beyond belief that all the words come out of you. :D [spoiler=CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT] I am totally keen on this track! I've been loving it since the very first time I heard it. :heart:
