Is that sword of vermillion?

Yeah, the track is not so obviously JUST about a break up. That's the part that confused me a bit re: the video. The sense of alienation and nostalgia that bigger or about more than just a relationship ending. If it's about the latter, it's the very tail end...

J0rdan top 5 Brit rap songs otm

This Tove Lo thing is the worst song in the top 20 that isn't German Whip, just totally nothingy.

I just remembered my wife's first reaction to the song -- "What is with the eating and puking in the bathtub? Is that some heartbreak cliche I don't know about? Do people do that?"

haha nope thats straight up some pokemon xxxp

Agree that Vermillion is a bit on the nose, but I'm still down with this.

"What is with the eating and puking in the bathtub? Is that some heartbreak cliche I don't know about? Do people do that?"

a) drunks
b) no, drunks
c) yes, drunks

Frankly, I'd avoid living on a planet with skies this color:

re: J0rdan top 5 - no P's And Q's, no credibility.

ooh that means one of the 9 remaining "dead certs" as outlined by matt dc has missed the 77, hope it's "seasons"!

But I thought he listed 7 dead certs (No Flex Zone, Rather Be, Two Weeks, Style, Blank Space, Seasons, 2 On), and we have 8 more tracks to go. Or am I missing something?

"vermillion" has 3,449 youtube views

j0rdan top 1 uk rap song otm, could do w/o the rest tbh

I voted no type but wish I'd thrown a vote to flex zone too now it has a chance of winning

8 TAYLOR SWIFT "Blank Space" [515 points, 18 votes]
http://youtu.be/e-ORhEE9VVg

Vermillion might also be a place, fyi.

too low

So almost noone knows her or vermillion, then. How did it end up ranking so high in here?

OK, this was my T-Swift vote.

This track gets stuck in my head like nothing else.

STARBUCKS LOVERS

A large crossover with TSJ writers/readers?

there are 1989 songs i like more but this one is cool

yeah Vemillion, which is better than I'd remembered, is clearly a testament to TSJ's influence on ILM

if blank space places this high i assume style (which was my only tswift vote) places in the top 3

i have no idea how anyone misheard the line as "starbucks lovers" which wouldn't even have made grammatical sense

one of my initial favourites off the swift album that's fallen slightly in my estimation since but which is still a very excellent pop song

i thought this was a bad song and one of her worst singles for a bit but the songwriting is pretty incredible

still wish it had a "sound" ... i don't really understand what it's supposed to be, but that's a small potatoes critique

How is this better than Shake It Off? IDGI and I doubt I'll ever get Taylor Swift.

to my Afro-Cuban ears attuned to coffee 'n' cigarettes it sounds like Starbucks lovers

how many P4K: DNPs have there been and what's the highest placed P4K track so far?

german whip, that's not me, & hot n*gga... today was a good day

lol it just sounds like that if you listen to it a certain way, "song lyric that doesn't make grammatical sense" cmon man

lol CAD i read your post as "there are one thousand nine hundred and eighty nine songs i like better than this, but this one is cool"

voted vermillion
beautiful song that grew on me with with every listen

I owe my discovery of (and votes for) Vermillion and Quarterback to The Singles Jukebox. Normally it's so kvetchy that the few times they get above 8.0 I know it's going to be great.

Relieved this isn't #1.

thought i did anyhow haha

I totally heard it as "Starbucks lovers," but I wasn't really paying enough attention to what she said before that to determine whether it made sense. I guess some people hear it as "all the lonely Starbucks lovers": http://nymag.com/scienceofus/2014/11/why-you-keep-mishearing-that-taylor-swift-lyric.html

"style" for instance is at least a "sound" even if it's just a total pastiche, i'm glad it's the next single

"Tuesday" was #2 on Pitchfork xxxp

this is a great song that's let down by its production. the static in the background bugs me to no end.
