In honour of Red Taylor's version release, I wanted to share my opinion on the album that touched my heart so profoundly that I was weeping, screaming and throwing up after listening to it.
First of all, we are absolutely blessed that we get to be a part of something so heavenly and listen to iconic songs in the mature and grown-up voice of the queen herself, Taylor Swift. Now I know some of you might not like Taylor or her music but this blog only contains my opinion and I hope that you will respect it.
Before I begin with it, let me tell you that this album is Taylor's favourite baby and so is ours.
Starting with the most ethereal song I have ever heard, I hope you have got your RED tissues because the next song can make you feel so emotionally destroyed, All too well (10 minutes version)(From the vault) (Taylor's version), I can never be more thankful to swifties who constantly asked Taylor to release this song. You know that feeling when you know that a song is going to be amazing but it turns out to be even more of a masterpiece than you expected? YES, that's exactly how I felt with ATW 10 min version.
After listening to 'You kept me like a secret and I kept you like an oath' I can safely say that no one can ever match this lyrical masterpiece plus the fact that this song is #1 everywhere even though it is 10 minutes long is so iconic. We will never get rid of this album and we will always remember it ALL TOO WELL just like a sacred prayer. This is rare and we are here to remember it ALL TOO WELL.
When it's 3 am and everyone is asleep, I am awake thinking about how astonishing is 'I bet you think about me' because this song will take you to an unknown place and that's when will realize that the love that you are looking for is the love that you had. And then I bet you will think about this blog post but I won't say I told you so ;)
I know that he says he doesn't believe anything he hears these days but even he will agree that 'Forever winter' is the most underrated and overlooked song in the album. No matter what, this song will be one of my favourite Taylor Swift songs because her voice is immaculate, the music is so soothing and the lyrics are heart-wrenchingly beautiful. When I heard this album for the very first time in 2012 I was too young to know it gets better but it has and I am speechless.
In conclusion, all the vault songs are sensational and I can't believe how the scarf thief is breathing right now. But the true joy is in the songs that raised us, the songs that stood by us in our childhood, the songs that we liked because of the music rather than the heartbreaking lyrics because we were too clueless.
State of Grace will forever and always have my heart because how can Taylor write 'We are all alone in our changing minds. We fall in love 'til it hurts or bleeds or fades in time' and expect us to survive that?
By now I am sure you all have got the idea as to how much of a chef-d'oeuvre is this album and how much I adore it. LOVING THIS ALBUM IS RED.
Now I'll leave you to enjoy the All too well: the short film <3
