So I changed this whole blog to be a diary, but heck, what do i think of first, Reviewing the lovely Taylor Swift's newest cd :)
So here goes...
Mine-When i first saw the video, i was like, aw cute, but it's been done. eh! I later listened again and decided, hey this sounds like me, picturing the whole future together, and yet still unsure about jumping headlong into it. This song is catchy, and cute.
Sparks Fly-This song is about liking the bad boy, knowing he's bad for you, yet you still fall for him, crazy girl you! It's happened to everyone, and this song is great, and it's yet another keeper for swifty fans
Back to December-Hoo boy! This song relates to me for sure, and the only exception is, its more like Back to October, it made me cry the first time i heard it. It's about regrets, knowing you've broken things past fixing, and wishing you could fix it anyway, it's sad, and true for pretty much everyone.
Speak Now-Title song, and fantasy of all of us rejected girls. We think, bah, he'll never marry someone other than me, and then bam! We're hearing about the wedding, going, WTH? Why didn't i get invited? This song is about going to the wedding, and standing up, you know he loves you, yet he's being pushed into this wedding to some brat. I do know the feeling, I had a dream of my someone marrying another, and I explain to my friends why I'm crying, and they all look horrorstruck. That's how i feel, and this song is about stopping the worst from happening!
Dear John-ah, which one of you knew Taylor was dating John-the-creep-Mayer? Zero? Ditto.
I had no idea, but anyway, this song is truely for him alone, but its applyable to any girl who's ever fallen for the older, womanizing type. You really aren't anything more than another notch on his bedpost, that's the cold truth.
Mean- this song is basically talking about how any one who bullies you is gonna regret it when you get famous! Ha, this won't obviously happen for us all, but at least Taylor got to say her piece.
Story of Us- The song about lost love....oh wait, they're all about it! Anyway, it's about losing touch with someone you used to know so well, the story is going no where, and is becoming a unhappy story
Never Grow Up- the song about the innocence of youth, wishing to stay little and that life would always be simple. I can't disagree with that wish.
Enchanted-You know the feeling of seeing someone across the crowded room at a crappy party, then all the room goes silent, and then they look up and see you, walk over and start to flirt. No? Well that's what this song is about, first sight interest, and the follow up of perhaps maybe we'll see each other again?
Better Than Revenge-heh-heh, this song happens to be about a real person, and i love it. Plus it really reminded me of Paramore, anway, its about Camilla Belle, the b**** who stole Joe Jonas from Taylor. This is the payback song, and it's way overdue. Honest opinion, I think Taylor was the reason Joe left her, but thats just me. She's a bit insecure and clingy, but i do wish they'd make up and get back together *sigh*
Innocent-this song gives me goosebumps.. It's merely talking about how you can do something wrong now, but yet you knew 10 months ago, you'd abhor that kind of behavior. like what have you become? It's a scary and sad song, and true. But this is talking to someone who's not yet crossed over, and still young and simple.
Haunted-This song is about being left, and still feeling the whole where this person used to be.
Last Kiss- Sorry to rush to this one, but i love it so much. I got goosebumps reading the lyrics, before hearing the actual song. Then the worst, tears. It so tore me up, because it so reminded me of what happened a year ago now. It's totally about the Taylor/Joe breakup, which saddens me more than any celebrity thing. Because i see them as real people, and they are truly hurt, no matter what they do, date other people, write mean songs about each other, when it comes down to it, they're just another couple of broken hearts like you or me once were. I cry, b/c this song is truly haunting, and can really be about any couple that broke up before they had run there course of the relationship. The best thing, is this is the longest song on the album, and i just listen to it and cry, this song really gets to you.
Long Live-a strong ending to the album, sad, but upbeat. The best line is, if you have kids, and they point to a picture of me, please tell them my name. This song is about a couple, that had there height of fame, and or recognition, but things went wrong and they had to part, so thats why she says, long live those days!
Hope you get a chance to check it out!
-Much Love
