ANGER (You Don’t Get To Tell Me About Sad)

Taylor says: “These songs all have one thing in common, I wrote them while feeling anger. Over the years, I’ve learned that anger can manifest itself in a lot of different ways, but the healthiest way that it manifests itself in my life is when I can write a song about it, and then oftentimes, that helps me get past it.”

BARGAINING (Am I Allowed To Cry?)

Taylor says: “This playlist takes you through the songs that I’ve written when I was in the bargaining stage, times when you’re trying to make deals with yourself or someone that you care about, you’re trying to make things better, you’re oftentimes feeling really desperate, because oftentimes we have a gut intuition that tells us things are not going to go the way that we hope, which makes us more desperate, which makes us bargain more.”

this is me trying
peace
The Archer
Cornelia Street

DEPRESSION (Old Habits Die Screaming)

Taylor says: “We’re going to be exploring the feelings of depression that often lace their way through my songs. In times like these, I’ll write a song because I feel lonely or hopeless. And writing a song feels like the only way to process that intensity of an emotion. And while these things are really, really hard to go through, I often feel like when I’m either listening to songs or writing songs that deal with this intensity of loss and hopelessness, usually that’s in the phase where I’m close to getting past that feeling.”

SONGS:
Bigger Than The Whole Sky
Dear Reader

ACCEPTANCE (I Can Do It With A Broken Heart)

Taylor says: “Here we finally find acceptance and can start moving forward from loss or heartbreak. These songs represent making room for more good in your life, making that choice because a lot of time when we lose things, we gain things too.”

SONGS:
You’re On Your Own, Kid
Midnight Rain
Labyrinth
the 1
august
invisible string
happiness
