marianne + connell | cardigan

it's been a hot minute since i've felt so many feels over a pair of fictional characters on TV but my goodness - normal people / marianne and connell dug deep into my heart over the pain and ecstasy of young love. i also happened to start watching the show right when cardigan dropped as the first single off folklore and well, here we are. enjoy!
show: normal people
song: cardigan by taylor swift

chasing shadows in the grocery line. nailed it. it still haunts me 9 months later.

[@emillyfernandes4335]

I SWEAR TO GOD It’s 11p.m rn and I’m watching this cause I needed to see the grocery line scene… I also rewatched normal people after folklore and boy it hurts so much that there isn’t any folklore songs on the soundtrack (which is also amazing)

This is beautiful! Interestingly enough, Taylor had mentioned this as one of her favourite books haha.

[@fadedblue03]

I’m waiting for the day Taylor admits the show inspired this song lol. The timing would totally work out ;)

[@ayamicv2710]

Wow really? Now I'm pretty sure "Tis the damn season" is based in Normal People!!

[@morse1883]

Proper recognition at last. Daisy E-J has been nominated for the 2021 Golden Globes for her role as Marianne in Normal People according to the Evening Standard of 03/02/21. [ Best Performance by an Actress in a Limited Series, Anthology or TV Movie] About time too! Excellent news; well done Daisy for your brilliant performance. What a beautiful, intelligent women with maturity that belies her age! However, Paul Mescal was snubbed.

[@gunselshaly537]

Now her bf is cast in the follow up.

[@isamazing101]

@@ayamicv2710 10000% agree!

[@flora7311]

this literally made me cry... i think the pairing of taylor and my fave show was too much for me to handle

[@fadedblue03]

This is actually the nicest compliment ever - this show + this song makes me a wee bit emotional so I'm really glad to know it makes other people feel things too :)

[@dianaligh]

The moment I heard it I KNEW this could have been inspired by them and would fit them perfectly

[@JordanAlexaxo]

this is gorgeous!!!!! chasing shadows in the grocery line - I've been waiting to see that nailed in a Connell/Marianne vid and this was just perfect

[@fadedblue03]

Thank you!! There are too many perfect lines for them in this song and I tried not to be *too* obvious about it but with this one, I mean...come on!

[@Bachingchung]

POV: This isn't your first Taylor Swift X Normal People video of the day.

[@SB-io6es]

Love, love, love. Songs off Folklore & Evermore just remind me of Normal People. They fit together perfectly

Watching this while being in one my depression's attacks

[@lva5308]

THIS SONG WAS WRITTEN FOR THEM NO ONE CAN CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE

Jesus, this is too damn goodddd.

[@fadedblue03]

A little late but thank you for the sweet comment!

[@suphichaya889]

fadedtoblue Thanks for making this too! The first time I listened to the song I knew that it would perfectly suit to their story. And damnnnn your vid just proved it.

[@leanne6900]

I can't stop watching edits about this showwww!!!

[@jclyntoledo]

The beginning when he was talking about how he never knew how he felt til much much later was 100% me when I was younger 😓. Thankfully now I just need a few hrs to a day to self reflect on my own to figure it out.

[@MiriamPinbe]

This fits perfectly

[@wrei783]

Amazing 👍 , it's just giving the whole essence of the " normal people " and flashing it back

[@dianajk19]

Loved the video, this song fits this couple very well! Great job. Did you also hear Taylor's new song called Right Where You Left Me? I think it would fit their story very well too, it seems like that song was written for them. Taylor is a brilliant storyteller. Leaving that suggestion here :)

[@dudhamangi8910]

this is beautiful i want to cry

[@imnothere105]

YOU ARE SOO GOOD AT THIS OMG! especially the beginning... i'm in love

[@joesquinn9517]

[@yamilaperales2873]

Vintage tee, brand new phone High heels on cobblestones When you are young, they assume you know nothing Sequin smile, black lipstick Sensual politics When you are young, they assume you know nothing But I knew you Dancin' in your Levi's Drunk under a streetlight, I I knew you Hand under my sweatshirt Baby, kiss it better, I And when I felt like I was an old cardigan Under someone's bed You put me on and said I was your favorite A friend to all is a friend to none Chase two girls, lose the one When you are young, they assume you know nothin' But I knew you Playing hide-and-seek and Giving me your weekends, I I knew you Your heartbeat on the High Line Once in 20 lifetimes, I And when I felt like I was an old cardigan Under someone's bed You put me on and said I was your favorite To kiss in cars and downtown bars Was all we needed You drew stars around my scars But now I'm bleedin' 'Cause I knew you Steppin' on the last train Marked me like a bloodstain, I I knew you Tried to change the ending Peter losing Wendy, I I knew you Leavin' like a father Running like water, I And when you are young, they assume you know nothing But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs The smell of smoke would hang around this long 'Cause I knew everything when I was young I knew I'd curse you for the longest time Chasin' shadows in the grocery line I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired And you'd be standin' in my front porch light And I knew you'd come back to me You'd come back to me And you'd come back to me And you'd come back And when I felt like I was an old cardigan Under someone's bed You put me on and said I was your favorite

[@sarahskwira4826]

I saw someone connect the lyric "playing Hide & Seek" and that in the show they play the song Hide & Seek by Imogen Heap during a montage. And we know Taylor loves a double meaning.

[@morse1883]

Great News. Normal People star Daisy Edgar-Jones ‘splits from boyfriend Tom Varey’: About time too! Well done Daisy. The best decision of your life apart, that is, from becoming a superb actress. You have more talent in your little finger than the drip has in whole of his pathetic frame. You're just too beautiful. He's not even in your class. You'll never regret dropping that drip! The world is now your oyster.
