I am increasingly convinced that the level of perfection she has achieved came with this song and this album. Since 2019 it has never been the same. Mac's tragedy must have really affected her, so much so that her music and attitude changed. I grew up with her and her best period was from 2016 to 2019, I'm more than sure, and unfortunately she will never be able to go back.

14:15 is so beautiful that the first time I heard it I cried, accepted and moved on from my regrets, consoled myself on my future and saw my whole life in all of its beautiful moments at the same time. This stuff is another level of self healing. Whether it is synths or her vocals with strings, it’s the most whole, raw sincere thing I’ve ever heard. This will be playing in the credit scenes of my life
I saw a few comments about the ending and probably it meaning something very very specific to her, and to me it kind of sounds like a train, as if you were at a station. like when you can hear it approaching in the distance, then as it leaves you get all that wind going past you. that strange sort of eerie twinkling sound mixed with that kind of fluttering idek is also like she feels things disappearing and floating away into the air. the adlibs also sound like this, like the voice effect or filter sounds airy and echoey. yeah I have no idea what it is but it’s so strange but so beautiful at the end, whatever it means to ariana must be special because it makes you feel something so different
