I was born in 1989. Reinvented for the first time in 2014, and a part of me was reclaimed in 2023 with the re-release of this album I love so dearly.
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine the magic you would sprinkle on my life for so long. This moment is a reflection of the woods we've wandered through and all this love between us still glowing in the darkest dark.
I present to you, with gratitude and wild wonder, my version of 1989.
1989 (TAYLOR'S VERSION, 27 OCTOBER 2023)
❝ O Dionysus, Son of God,
do you see our sufferings?
Do you see your faithful
in helpless agony before the oppressor?
O Lord, come down from Olympus,
shake your golden thyrsus
and stifle the murderer’s insolent fury. ❞
― Euripides, The Bacchae
Did you like question ten, Moony? Loved it. Give five signs that identify the werewolf. Excellent question. D’you think you managed to get all the signs? Think I did. One: He’s sitting on my chair. Two: He’s wearing my clothes. Three: His name’s Remus Lupin…
You've Got Mail (1998) Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a small life. Well, not small, but valuable. And sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it, or because I haven't been brave? So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn't it be the other way around? I don't really want an answer. I just want to send this cosmic question out into the void. So good night, dear void.
