Midnights - some thoughts

 It's probably overdue from October but never mind.

With some artists a new release just comes out, ads here and there and that is it but one by Miss Taylor Swift it must be said  is more an Event with lots of little things all co-ordinated into massive multimedia campaign.

 

Midnights thematically is an album of some thirteen songs based upon as many sleepness nights across her life and has a rather different, more reflective feel than any of her previous albums which I found took a couple of more plays to "get" but does lodge its way into you.

The major hit from from the album Anti Hero, is a personal favourite of mine for talking about insecurities, the sense of never getting any the more older or wise and somehow to subconsciously stop yourself from really achieving what you long for apart from the recognition of the impact of intrusive thoughts on your functioning.

I suspect many people can relate to much of what she is talking about which to me is major property of being an effective song writer, communicating ideas and images in this modern age.
