"Enough for You" Analysis Tomorrow 8/26/22

I am skipping track 6, "Good 4 U" because I already analyzed that one on YouTube. We will still discuss it briefly, though, before moving on to "Enough for You". This will actually be a blind reaction/analysis, so I am excited! See you guys tomorrow!

Sour Analysis- "Deja Vu"

I discuss Olivia Rodrigo's use of diction, imagery, alliteration and more in this heartfelt song! I also discuss the tone throughout "Deja Vu" and how our speaker uses the phenomena of deja vu to express her realizations regarding the aftermath of her recent breakup. 

"Deja Vu" Analysis Friday August 19

I am so excited for this one, y'all 😊😊😊

Sour Analysis- "1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back"

I discuss the use of diction, imagery, syntax, alliteration and more in Olivia Rodrigo's, "1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back".

Note- Sorry for how orange this video is 😭😭😭

"1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back" Analysis Friday 8/12/22

"Drivers License" Analysis Friday 8/5/22

Sour Analysis- "Traitor"

I discuss exposition, alliteration, simile and more in the song, "Traitor" by Olivia Rodrigo. I also discuss the tone and mood created by the diction and imagery throughout the track!

"Traitor" Analysis on Thursday 7/28

I'm feeling SO MUCH BETTER, you guys! Thank you for all of your well-wishes. I took your advice last week and rested! However, I am so excited to talk about "Traitor" on Thursday!!!!

Recovering from COVID- New Content Next Week

Hey guys! As you may have already seen on Instagram, I have COVID 😭😭😭 I  tested positive Monday night, but I am starting to feel a lot better! I am hoping to do a YouTube video tomorrow, and pick up with our Patreon Sour analysis next week!

I apologize for the delay in Patreon content!

I love you guys, and I am very thankful for each of you!

Sour Analysis- "Brutal"

I blind-react to "Brutal by Olivia Rodrigo. Along the way I discuss Olivia Rodrigo's use of diction, alliteration, assonance and characterization. I also delve into her tone and overall theme throughout the song.

NOTE- I got too excited talking about the pronoun "I" in the first line of the song, that I didn't really discuss the significance of the line, "...die before I drink". What do you all think Olivia means by this? I'm torn. On one hand, it kind of seems like she doesn't think sh...

"Brutal" Reaction/Analysis Tomorrow, 7-14-22

I'm excited 🥰🥰🥰

Melodrama Analysis- "Liability (Reprise) & "Perfect Places"

I discuss my thoughts on "Liability (Reprise) and talk about how this song fits into the album as a whole. I also consider the bildungsroman-esq nature of the album and the differences between "Liability" and "Liability (Reprise).

I then do a blind reaction to "Perfect Places". I discuss diction, imagery, contrast, alliteration and more in this exciting track! I explore how this track ties together the entire album. 

Note- I apologize for how inarticulate I become during the ...

And the winner is....

Whew-- this one was close, y'all! Sour by Olivia Rodrigo is the winner by just a hair. However, since it's clear how much y'all also love Halsey's Manic, I will commit to analyzing that album as soon as we finish Sour!

"Liability (Reprise)" and "Perfect Places"

I'll be finishing up our Melodrama analysis on Friday, June 8! I am so excited! This has been such a fun album to analyze with you guys!

Album Vote

Hey guys! When I checked last night before bed, Halsey was winning the poll. It seems more people voted over night and now Olivia Rodrigo has pulled ahead. I know I said I was going to close out the poll last night, so I want to be fair. Also, the vote is so, so close! 

So let's vote directly between the two albums! I'm choosing Manic as the Halsey album since more of you mentioned it in the original post (plus I already did like 4 songs from IICHLIWP on YouTube).

I need ever...

Updates!

Hey guys! I just wanted to give you all some updates on this beautiful Friday! 

1. We will finish up Melodrama next week! 

2. I will be closing out preliminary poll tonight, so make sure you vote!

3. I'll post the album poll tomorrow!

4. I did post my full blind-reaction to "Carolina" on here, so enjoy ❤❤❤

Reacting to "Carolina" by Taylor Swift

This got blocked on YouTube, and I am currently working to unblock it there. However, I am having to mute all of the music and cut out a lot....and YouTube is still processing the changes 🙄🙄🙄

I thought I'd put the full reaction for you all here in the meantime! 

Preliminary Vote-- Artist

Wow! You guys left so many recommendations! This poll only lets me add 25 options, so I tried to choose the ones that I saw the most. If you don't see your option, I apologize! Since some of you left multiple album recommendations by the same artist, I thought we'd start with an artist vote to narrow it down, and then we'll do an album vote.

Note-- I will be analyzing all of Reputation by Taylor Swift on YouTube starting next week. I also plan to analyze Conan Gray's new album and Harry...

What's Next?

Hey guys! We are coming to the end of our Melodrama analysis! I have VERY MUCH enjoyed this album analysis with you guys! 

My question for you is this- what album would you suggest for our next Patreon exclusive? Go ahead and give me some options in the comments below, and we'll take a vote later this week!

Melodrama Analysis- Supercut"

I discuss Lorde's use of diction, alliteration, imagery and details in this absolute bop! I also discuss some of the allusions to the rest of the album, as well as some of the overall themes of the album thus far. 

"Supercut" Analysis

Hey guys! My sincerest apologies for not posting anything yesterday. Long story short, there was an emergency situation that led to me being in the hospital all day yesterday. I was given some medication which made me very drowsy. I am just now fully waking up . I am feeling much better, so please don't worry! I will get to the "Supercut" analysis ASAP!

Thank you for your patience! Again, I'm ok!

"Supercut" Analysis This Week

I can't wait 😊😊😊

Melodrama Analysis- "Writer in the Dark"

I blind-react to Lorde’s, “Writer in the Dark”. During this reaction, I discuss Lorde’s use of diction, characterization, symbolism and more! I really love the way this song fits into the overall story of the album!

Note- it also occurred to me after I posted the video that there is a reason that the speaker thinks the subject probably rues the day they met/kissed. The fact that she is a writer is significant. She is able to tell this story in a way that maybe he can't. She can ...

"Writer in the Dark" Analysis Coming this Weekend

I plan to do a blind- reaction to "Writer in the Dark" this weekend! Stay tuned!

"Writer in the Dark" Analysis (Blind or Not)?

Hey guys! I plan on doing our next Melodrama video within the next few days! It will be an analysis of "Writer in the Dark". I know this one is a crowd favorite, so here's my question for you all: would you rather I listen to the song beforehand or go in blind??

Melodrama Analysis- "Sober II"

I discuss Lorde's use of diction, symbolism, alliteration and more in the Melodrama track "Sober II". Note- I am not sure why, but OBS did not record the desktop audio which is why you can't hear the song playing. I had everything set the way I normally do, so I am assuming that I need to update OBS again. I sincerely apologize! Even though you can't hear the song, you should be able to hear my voice throughout and see the lyrics! I hope you all still enjoy the video!

Still Waiting- Patreon is Aware of Issue

Hey guys! I am still unable to upload the video, but I reached out to Patreon this morning. Basically, they said they are aware of the issue and are working on it 😭😭😭 Y'all know stuff like this stresses me out, but I appreciate your patience!

Vimeo Issues...again.

Hey guys! I did the analysis of "Sober II" today! I really enjoyed it, but Patreon is just not letting me upload it from Vimeo. I saw on Twitter that some other creators are also having the same issue (which does make me feel a little bit better 😭😢😭), but I am not sure what to do. I've been working on trying to upload it for you guys for the past 4 hours😭😭😭

I'm going to try again in the morning! Thank you all for your patience! I love and appreciate each of you ❤❤�...

"Sober II" Analysis- Thursday June 2

Can't wait ❤❤❤
