Tess Explains It All

Songs I’m really really really passionate about from Taylor’s new album:

1.) Begin Again – when I heard this song it was like love at first listen. It’s her newest single and I’m praying it gets a lot of radio play. It’s difficult because it’s slow so I feel only country radio will play it but maybe..just maybe…top 40 radio will catch on. It’s so lyrically beautiful and you can just picture every moment she sings about like you’re right there. “Walked in thinking you’d be late but you got here early and you stand and wave, I walk to you.” I mean..can’t you just SEE it?!?!

2.) Come Back…Be Here – It’s really surprising this song is a bonus track because it should be on the main album. And I don’t just love this song because it’s pretty much the story of my life at the moment…but it’s just SO good. When the bridge comes in and she sings “New York be here…but you’re in London and I break down cause it’s not fair that you’re not around!!” I just throw my arms up in the air and sing along with her. It’s that good.

3.) All Too Well – Her song to Jake Gyllenhaal. She said there was so much she wanted to say in this song, it originally was 10 minutes long so she had to cut it down. The lyrics…once again…are perfect. “So here we are again in the middle of the night, we dance around the kitchen in the refrigerator light.” I’ve never even thought about dancing in the kitchen with my boyfriend to the refrigerator light but Taylor makes me want to do this ASAP. It sounds that romantic.

4.) The Moment I Knew – ANOTHER bonus track that should be on the main album. This is her other song to Jake that explains how she felt on her 21st birthday when she was hoping Jake would show up at her party but he never did. That was the moment she knew it was over and he just wasn’t good for her. Even though the song is completely about her own personal experience I feel every girl can relate to a moment like this in their life. When you’ve been dressed up and completely excited to see your crush and something goes wrong and your expectations are shot down… worst feeling ever.

5.) 22 – I know I said when I first listened to this that I wasn’t a fan but I’ve listened to it many more times since and I completely love it now! It’s just really catchy. Even if the lyrics are a tad stupid, it’s a fun song.

6.) Red – Should be her third single I think. Love this song!!
