Recommending y'all to listen to these 3 covers in this order: 1. Listen first to the original Betty (James' perspective), cover by Josh Rabenold. 2. Then listen to Betty's perspective, cover by LØLØ. 3. Lastly this cover for August Girl's perspective. Srsly it works. 💖
I wrote one from Betty's perspective and I love how the lyrics turned out. it'd mean a lot if you could go and listen to it! :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bdK--wp3rXY.html
"the worst thing that I ever did was august wine with you" damn i love that line, and how you included "you weren't mine to lose" at the end ❤️ YOU'RE AMAZING
I know this topic have been problematic in the fandom but in my head I imagine an alternative ending in which both girls realize James doesn't worth it and end up together
my theory is that "cardigan" isn't about betty ending up with james. my theory is that james makes betty feel like an old cardigan, and her new SO is the one who makes her feel like their favorite
The way that you wrote this makes me feel like in a way, Cruel Summer is Inez/August’s version of Betty. I know the albums aren’t connected in that way necessarily, but like the lyrics of Cruel Summer seem to really connect well with the Betty/August/Cardigan loop. Notably: “Fever dream high in the quiet of the night” “I’ll always be waiting for you” “What doesn’t kill me makes me want you more” Plus the “hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine” reminds me of “‘meet me behind the mall” Plus to me the nail in the coffin is the bridge of cruel summer, where she also talks about being in a car, and she sings about how she “snuck in through a GARDEN gate every night that summer just to seal my fate” but especially the line: “I don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you.” Just some food for thought!
wooow right!!! it makes so much sense now!! literally whe she sings "I cried like a baby coming home from the bar" and "I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard? " represents how august girl felt when she heard james at the betty's party saying to betty that loves her...omg omg omg im so sad now
Love the cover but i feel like inez and "the girl from augustl" are different characters¿? Like Inez it's betty's friend or somenthig. I mean why would she tell everything to betty
I'm really glad that this got recommend to me. This is fucking amazing. You are super talented . I love that you added the lyrics to august at the end.
🥺🙋🏻♀️. NGL it hurts a bit when people bash August girl. Like dam, we may have been wrong but sometimes love blinds you and our feelings also got smashed into pieces when something so important to us was just a “summer thing” to the opposite party. “The worst thing I ever did was believe in you” “The only thing I couldn’t do was have him like you do”
d10531404吳 璠 that and let’s not forget that part of her memories w/ James is playing hide and seek, which means they’ve been friends since they were at least 7 or 8, so up to 10 years. Only for him to go throw it all away

I love that you brought your own style to the song and didn't mimic Taylor's version. Good job. Makes me respect Inez... she has passion. So when do we hear from the "him" from the gym? And of course, another version has a choral group singing the perspective of all the stupid friends.
This is soo amazing. I'm superr glad it was recommended to me ❤ I'm in LOVE with this cover! It's original and insanely interesting story line!!! And your voice is great too! It made me feel so bad that james means literally so much to her like she has such a passionate song only for him but to james she is 'just a summer thing'. Your version has me in tears🥺
me always have been hating on august girl but this actually gave me a very different perspective like what her situation’s so sad🤧 james just used her like ughh 🔪
THIS WAS AMAZINGGG!!!!!!! I feel so sorry for her now... earlier I was all like Inez was the one to mess everything up...you changed my perspective! I was amazed by how you included the line "the worst thing that I ever did was august wine with you"
WOW! Why haven't you been discovered? You have it all, voice, instrument skills, enunciation, writing, personality, cuteness, everything! Well done Francesca!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i literally cried omg im SO sad now...this is like the best rewrite song that ever existed from the love teenage triangle from folklore, seriously...i'm speechless and so in love at the same time...thank you
James just isn't worth it. Betty and that August girl deserve better.i felt sorry for both of them. I love how you wrote this from 3 different povs.great work!!
