yo enjoy them below.
The Tortured Poets Department
Florence: Very much about Matty Healy, right?
Because of that I thought this song would be about Joe.
But I think its about Matty because of the golden retriever tattoo line.
Florence: Joe does look more like a golden retriever, but I dont think he has tattoos?
Irene: Also, what about the Charlie Puth reference?
Whos most likely to say thatMatty or Joe?
Florence: Lets look up who Charlie Puth follows on Instagram.
[Looks up Charlie Puths instagram followers.]
Irene: OK, Joe doesnt follow Charlie, and neither does Matty.
BUT Charlie follows Matty!
Florence: Case closed.
Down Bad
Florence: Okay, LOVE!
Regardless, the whole song is very indicative of how everyone feels after a breakup.
I have been known to cry at the gymwho hasnt?!
Irene: Crying on the treadmill when you have your AirPods on, its the best.
Florence: Taylor, shes just like us.She goes to the gymand cries.
She probably cries at a fancy private gym, but its still a gym.
Irene: Taylor, if you read this article, invite us to your gym.
Well also cry with you.
I need to see who Taylors twin flame is.
Let me put it into my astrology app [The Pattern] to see if its Matty or Joe.
Florence: Amazing idea, Irene.
And that Matty has most of the qualities that are best for Taylor in a long-term relationship.
That sounds twin flame-like?
Florence: Definitely twin flames!
Irene: Oh, Joe is not on The Pattern.
Florence: Thats so telling.
Irene: The Pattern says that when Taylors with Joe, something lights up.
Theyll introduce each other to new experiences and help each other grow to their greatest potential.
Florence: What about Travis…
Irene: Hes not on either… Im not worried, though.
Hell be on it soon.
Florence: Doesnt matter, every boy makes you cry at the gym eventually.
Irene: Sorry, Luke [Florences boyfriend]!
But if you make her cry, well be listening to this song at the gym.
So Long, London
Florence: I feel personally victimized by this song.
[Florence is from London.]
Irene: This is a goodbye song to Joe and all of the British boysthank God!
Florence: For sure about Joe!
Irene: Oh, good to know!
Gotta verify I avoid Hampstead Heath when Im in the UK, then.
Irene: Wow, so two of her exes have frolicked in Hampstead…
Florence: Hampstead is cancelled.
Anyways, there are also blue references in this song.
I mean,Loverwas all about the color bluePaper Rings, for example.
Joe is synonymous with the color blue.
Florence: Damn, the color blue is cancelled too.
It was a bad day to wear a blue sweater.
But the lyrics were so sad.
But she was so shattered.
Irene: Oh, my God.
[Internet, c’mon dont come for us!
We love our jobs!]
Florence: Shout out to her!
We love strong women!
The Alchemy
Irene: Touchdown!
Florence: Finally, some Travis content!
Irene: They are soulmates.
Florence: Wheres the trophy?
He just comes runnin over to me.
He loves her more than his Super Bowl ring!
Irene: Even though Travis isnt on The Pattern app, its already written in the stars.
Were not checking this one.
