She's a genius. I've just noticed how this whole song has that annoying beeping/ tapping sound which never stops for a moment. But it also has the melodious sounds of guitar. As if the music also mimics the subject matter of the song. Their relationship has so many beautiful sides, yet, there will always be lack of peace
Yes! I feel it to my core. I’ve been battling stage IV, terminal cancer since 2010. I was engaged when I was diagnosed, but my husband stayed. He said, “WE are going to get through this!” I can give him everything, but I can never give him peace. We’ve been in survival mode for so long that I don’t think we remember what normalcy is.
my fav and loves for show line, the wild and child line AND devils in the details but you got a friend in me line...........and the rain is gonna come and the clowns to the west line offfffffffffffffff..........the whole song mainly
Everyone is constantly on Taylor’s back about how she writes so pettily about her exes, but nobody really appreciates how beautifully she writes about people she loves
this album looks like a more mature version of lover and red, like she’s over that fervent passion, and now she’s experiencing a different face of love... and honestly, i’m SO happy to be able to see her finally conquer it
this is her most romantic song hands down. she shows the passionate side of love and the desperation of thinking you are not enough for someone. literally makes me cry everytime i listen to it
I agree. She loves him so much and would do anything for him, but fears he might not be there for her when her storms come. The only way she can keep his attention is if she never gives him peace. Will he love her anyway, despite her faults? This song comes from a heart desperate for love. It's sad and lovely and peaceful all at the same time.
Lets talk about how at this point taylor doesnt even need to drop a song and announce it everywhere, she just drops an entire album and leaves everybody crying on the floor because its perfect and aesthetic and rainy and sad and tragic and beautiful
Well if she had released any single from this album, none of it would have performed well on the chart. Mainly because of the genre and not-so-catchy melody. So she chose the right strategy, to just drop the album and put out all the songs at one go. It is a great album.
@@qiqisongs hmm idk? Taylor is at the point where anything she drops, will be on the chart, no matter what it is, and if Billie Eilish can be on the charts with this music, I'm sure Taylor can too.
"Give you my wild, give you a child." The way she says it especially "a child" is just the sweetest thing existed It makes me way more emotional than anyone could imagine
I hear the longing in her voice too...it's so wistful. I hope her dreams come true with her bf. I don't really like him though, I get a weird vibe from his interviews, like he's too serious or into himself. Or maybe I'm projecting what I feel about him. I can't tell anymore. Her songs become my songs, her thoughts are mine too. But he's just a guy, Taylor. You don't have to feel bad about yourself. NEVER apologize for dating an actor who should be used to public scrutiny -because again, he's an actor.
@@elizzybec i know it's been a year but this is the laughably the most self-centered thing i've ever seen...you don't know him. you were def projecting. trust taylor's judgment, she's written a million love songs about him. and being famous doesn't make paparazzi or fake press any easier to handle, we know that damn well from taylor's experiences
@elizzybec was right. I do agree with her. An actor who's trying to make it in Hollywood should be used to being in the public eye. Now, in hindsight, I think he was just possessive and controlling of her. The sad songs of Folklore & Evermore were autobiographical, I'm going back now & listening to Happiness, Tolerate It, etc and it's all making sense. Truth is Taylor is outgoing and Joe apparently is not, she ended up suffering in his presence and absence as a couple. They're better off apart.Taylor will be ok but I'm sad for her, she gives her whole heart.
I love every single one of her albums, but she’s truly found her sweet spot on this one. Her voice is like butter. And the subject matter is mature, but also mystical and playful. She’s really giving us her mind, body, and spirit in all these songs. I’m just so impressed.
@@buzzcutseason142 seems very unlikely, joe refused to break up with her at the lowest point of her life(when she disappeared for a year because of all the hate) and when she gained healthy weight and people were shaming her she wrote a song after that called 'dancing with our hands tied'. Now that all thats passed joe's probably the end game
I feel like this perfectly describes what it's like to have a mental illness and struggle with your relationship with your partner because of it. The rain is always gonna come. I am still worth it? Can my other qualities make up for it? Would it be enough if I could never give you peace? 💙
whoaaaah! this is what aaron dessner said about the song. taylor mentioned about media scrutiny and public image- but aaron- he said exactly this. that if you're suffering from mental issues- would you accept me if i dont bring you peace because of my issues even though i love you so, is it still a deal the partner (or maybe even friends) want to take?
I honestly think some people still don’t understand how relentlessly vulnerable this song really is. Taylor really put her entire heart out there with this one and it’s incredible that she allowed us to go there with her.
@@edgarvinicius1765 ummmm no, Chromatica is definitely great. Rain on me and Sine from Above are gems in that album. But Folklore is a different LEVELS🥰
@@mati.p172 i love chromatica, but folklore is so interesting, is not the kind of music that you can expet from a "pop" artist like Taylor Swift, every single song is so poetic
@@sarahrybak1920 this song is all about insecurity and hope in spite of it, I think that here the "courage" is the bravery to keep one's "conviction" - that is, the strong belief in one's own choices. But it's hard to stick to your decisions, your "convictions", when you're worried about dangers and possible issues, and that's what the narrator is saying at the start of the song.
When she said “would it be enough if i could never give you peace?” She’s referring to how she can never put a pause to all the hectic things going on (and is around the corner) in her life as a celebrity for her significant other to feel like Taylor and him are at peace. But she’d do anything and everything for her significant other, however, peace is something very difficult to give. (If we look at all the things Taylor had gone through these past few years)
I agree. Peace instantly stood out to me. I feel bad for all the people who have only heard a couple pop songs of hers and decided she’s not for them. They’re missing out on a lot! They’re missing out on one of the greatest song writers of all time.
According to Aaron Dessner who co-wrote most of folklore, Taylor recorded “Peace” in just one take and this is that version we hear! Maybe that’s another reason why she compared this album to her son Sad, Beautiful, Tragic on Red in which she also recorded in one take.
@Tyren Leahey In the TH-cam live chat before the premier for Cardigan, where she talked about a few other things as well (like the love triangle songs).
When I first heard Lover, I didn’t think I could love a song more, never thought she’d come up with a better love song, because to me, it was the ultimate love song, until this. It’s real and raw and it shows us her vulnerability. This album is her.
“Give you my wild, give you a child” is such a beautiful line. I can’t stop thinking about it. I’ve never thought about having a baby with someone as “giving them a child”. To me, that almost sounds like the person doesn’t want to have kids, but they love the other person so much that they’d give them anything.
It's crazy how she predicted how the relationship will end. How she knows that she can give Joe all the love she have but it still wouldn't be enough for him as he wants peace ( a life which is not all over the media) peaceful life.
I think this song is all about telling joe about her deep fears. And wishing and asking if its enough. Her love is enough. Joe is a lucky man. Taylor too.
Definitely they are talking of getting married. I also think she might be pregnant. This song references having a child, and then another song on this album has the lyric "Baby with me". She's also wearing a very loose nightgown in yet another video. The sunlight streams through it and there's a slight outline of a tummy.
I mean I think she proves she’s so much more than a pop singer.... she IS an artist. The truest form of the word. Not just a writer, not just a singer, or musician, or visual artist, but all of them together. Just an artist. Purely. Whether anyone likes her as a person or celebrity, or whatever, I can’t imagine anyone actually getting into her music and all the visuals and lyrics and not seeing her as a genius creative. One of the most creative artists of all time imo. Her writing is 😚👌🏼 . Lol I write poetry and creative nonfiction, obviously no where near Taylor lol, and the first time I heard My Tears Ricochet I literally said, “Holy shit.” out loud after the end of the first chorus 😂. She’s just such a wordsmith; it’s insane. Edited for typo
@@speeeee35Honestly I feel like Taylor is one of those very few artists in the music industry whose passion for music never lessens. She was destined to be a singer, songwriter etc. Like she has exactly the same amount of passion which she had in the beginning of her career, 14 years ago. Unlike other artists like JB( no offence) who have a couple of BOPs and then take advantage of their fame and money. They forget the reason of their fame. Taylor has never even digressed from her path and that's why she is definitely the greatest songwriter I have seen in my entire life.
I relate to this song so much! About six months from my wedding date, I was diagnosed with cancer. We had to postpone our wedding as I had to go through tons of chemo, surgeries and radiation. My husband didn’t run. He has remained by my side through it all. It’s stage IV so it’s terminal. We end up at the hospital more often than anyone should. I can give him everything I have, but I can never give him peace. Cancer lives in me and it’s always just around the corner. 14 years of battling cancer is exhausting, not only for the patient, but for the entire family as well.
"Robbers to the East." Taylor's NYC apartment being broken in. "Clowns in the West." Kanye West and KKW. "No, I could never give you peace." Taylor's life and Joe always worrying about her!
Jessie Wesselmann it could also be Tayler telling Joe she can’t ever give him peace because she has had to deal with the robbers, the haters, the media and all that has happened to her. So she is asking him is she still enough even if she can’t bring that peace and quiet he cherishes. I think the song was more about hoping she and her crazy life was still enough for him.
Stop with the pregnancy, she's obviously not pregnant she's just proving a point.. she can give his man everything like her time, friendship, take his family as hers, a child, but she'll never be in peace because of her career and that's important because he'll be dragged too, that's why she asks if I'll be enough. Its friggin beautiful I'm crying so hard.
Yess..she once said she wanted to have ciwyw's bridge to be about having child with him but bcs of those dummies who assume that she is already preg she didn't want to do so
the fact that Taylor actually wants to become a mother but because of her career choice she's always busy and her life is planned years ahead of it's time so she can't
@@rubyj9497 I think this song is from Joe's perspective. Like may be joe wants to have a child with Taylor or marry her but Taylor doesn't thinks the same way . So she's telling him that may be if we were normal I could give you what you wanted but my life is different so if u stay with me I can never give you what u want or peace
the way her voice lightly changed when she sung "give you a child" was absolutely beautiful. because carrying and bearing a child is one of the hardest things a woman can do and the fact she would do it for her husband (and herself of course) is a gift of love.
Update: 2023 There is someone now who can finally accept the fact that she can never give him peace. Take care of her, Travis. Don't mind the chaos; you can be each other's peace🥺♡
true and knowing that joe is introvert person but last for 6yrs dating taylor he has a lot of patient but now we don't know what's the reason of their break-up.
Remember when people bullied her for writing ME! with "childish" lyrics and mainstream music and now she released an album with the most poetic lyrics among all of her works, I think
The guitar on this is absolutely everything. Funny how the song is called Peace and it really is peaceful. Music like this really just takes me to another place. I love this album. It’s an instant classic and that’s hard to say about albums when they first come out.
it’s actually a bass, which is layered, no one really does that in music, and i think it makes this song a lot more special. the layered bass + the lyrics = perfection
GUYS GUYS THROUGH OUT THE SONG THE BEEPING SOUND IS CONSTANT. THE MUSIC IS PEACEFUL AND SO IS HER VOICE BUT THE BEEING SOUND CREATES A FEELING OF ANXIETY THUS CONFIRMING WHAT TAYLOR SAID, "I could never give you peace" P.S. sorry for the caps 😭
This right here is realistic love and passion, it’s all hard work, it’s not a magical story or a fantasy, it’s hard to acquire, it’s hard to maintain, but it’s always worth fighting for
@@OnlyYoursOne because of scooter, taylor cant perform any song live from the albums before Lover. he basically stole her intelligent property. i hope taylor get all her rights back
This album is so therapeutic. Feels like someone is telling you that everything will be alright. Let's not only take care of our physical health but also our mental health♥
This and closure are one of the most meaningful songs in the albums but they are least liked becausw of the beat. Come on guys can't you understand what it tells.
It Really is,Truly an unbelievable Music release,and the Whole Album is just Superb,l like EVERY song on this Masterpeice,Nice comment,and so True,Take Care and Stay Well and Safe,Do You know the name of the song,Where Taylor Swift is in the water,and She swims over to the Piano and it is like she is hanging on to that Piano,to stay afloat,.If you WOULD OR can,Please let me know the name of Her Great Song,only saw it once,Now I cannot find it,Thank YOU, Walter B.Memphis.
This song made me feel really bad for her, having the guilt of bringing stalkers, crazed fans, and not having the freedom to go anywhere to a relationship. She must feel horrible bringing Joe into that. It's something I never thought about
This relates to Dancing with our hands tied when Taylor was being pictured for the first time for awhile and paparazzi saying hurtfull things to her, she cried in her studio, writing the song and then wanted to break up with Joe but he refused the idea and kept standing tall protecting her. I mean... its so beautifulllll....
@@dorissummitt14 Actually most of the album is fiction, minus (probably) Invisible String and this song. But yeah, she really put her all in this album, but I love it.
@@dani010203stor You might be right about that! 😊 But east isn’t capitalized and West is. If they were both capitalized I wouldn’t think as much of it but making one capitalized and the other not was totally done for a reason.
This is a love song to Joe. The fact that she’s saying she can give everything to him but not peace breaks my heart. I am literally crying on the couch listening to the song.
Wow. This album is a breath of fresh air. This is Taylor expressing herself in the fullest degree. This is her. This is a masterpiece. Absolutely. Her best album by a mile.
look guys, can we stop trying to throw out rumors like saying she's pregnant just because she is in a private relationship? because i really think she should have some peace. And lets not try to get details out of her relationship. its her relationship. lets stay out of it.
i hate when people say taylor is overrated, she’s not. yes, she’s well known, but she’s only really know for the people that find her lyrics deep and beautiful. yes, her songs are for everyone to hear, but only few relate or understand the meaning behind her lyrics.
"but the rain is always gonna come if you're standing with me" This made me really sad. All her past relationships have been destroyed by the media and here she's still scared that media will ruin what she has with Joe BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS DO and rain will always come. I hope it doesn't happen this time. I hope she can give him peace.
@@champagne483 it's an idiom it means that a mysterious element is hidden in the details. something that might seem simple at first glance but is actually very complicated and dark. She is telling him that she might appear to be normal but she's a complex mess in reality. However no matter how much of a wreck she is, she will always be by his side just like a true friend would
I usually don't cry listening to any song. But this one hits hard. Knowing that you can give everything to your partner but peace is so heartbreaking. I just want Taylor to be happy with joe. Cause they both deserve it.
Singing this and addressing it to yourself can literally give you peace of mind. Like I'll try my best to take care of me, be my own friend, and not talk shit about myself. Idk how else to explain it other than its almost like acceptance of yourself as a person that deserves to be loved.
Peace is my favorite, and I feel like that’s a little unpopular. It makes me think about how I’ve let traumatic events dictate how I view my purpose and my place. I’m my biggest cheerleader, telling myself that if I got through THAT, I can get through anything but deep down I’m prolonging my recovery because I’m afraid of who I might be without my issues. My anxiety. My shame. What if I’m just a bad, flawed person and these labels I use as excuses, reasons, are just core flaws of mine? What if I do everything to get better and there’s still something missing? What if I’m just destined for pain? I can deal with this paper-cut pain, that I’ve carried with me day after day, month after month, but putting on bandages feels like just another way of exposing myself to a bullet. I can take the continuous pounding, but no more big storms. I “keep my brittle heart warm” but I’m my own “cascade ocean wave blues” that come. I have been happy and grown and loved people and had them love me back, more than I could have ever imagined. But I’m so afraid of reaching for more. I can never give me peace.
I know what you mean. I went through the same thing. I was scared of being happy, I didn't know what it felt like and it was weird for a while. But I learned that you can't forget about anxiety and depression. You have to co-exist with it. I tried to forget about all my problems and pretend they weren't real. I had to accept that I was depressed, I had to accept my whole life. Acknowledge that I went through some pretty bad stuff to move on. The anxiety hasn't left me but I am more at peace with it. I feel so much better these days. I hope this helps you
Its like you climbed right into my brain and put it into poetry. Listening to this album makes me stop and think about myself for a moment and not just everything around me. The songs at first just sounded the same and just sad but now they have allowed me to think more than ever. I think about how I am one little piece in this world and that every little thing I do changes something else. I think about how there is never peace in the world. There is always something going on but it is what we do to deal with it that makes it worth having no peace. It's like you're always on the edge but nothings ever perfect. We have to stop and look back for a moment and realize that we are important. No matter what anyone else thinks we can get through it.
This year has brought out a new and ugly side of myself that I have never seen before, but always knew was there. And I keep thinking that if I ignore it, it'll go away. And it keeps not going away. And if I talk about it with people I judge myself for it. And now, is that who they think I am? And is this who I have to be now? And slowly but surely I have stopped talking to everybody in my life because this is all I can think about anymore and I don't want them to know or see this part of me. And I can never have peace.
I know this song was written about her life in the spotlight, but as someone who struggles with depression I feel like this is an accurate representation about how someone with mental illness loves.

@@edgarvinicius1765 ummmm no, Chromatica is definitely great. Rain on me and Sine from Above are gems in that album. But Folklore is a different LEVELS🥰
@@mati.p172 i love chromatica, but folklore is so interesting, is not the kind of music that you can expet from a "pop" artist like Taylor Swift, every single song is so poetic
I choked when she said “give you a child”-
D E E P.
grrr same
Omfg I literally paused the video and breathe deeply. Lol
SHES PREGNANT??!!!!!!?!??!?!,
Same HAHAHAHAHA I did paused the video and breathed
" I never had the courage of my convictions as long as danger is near" I felt that on a spiritual level.
What does that mean?
@@sarahrybak1920 this song is all about insecurity and hope in spite of it, I think that here the "courage" is the bravery to keep one's "conviction" - that is, the strong belief in one's own choices.
But it's hard to stick to your decisions, your "convictions", when you're worried about dangers and possible issues, and that's what the narrator is saying at the start of the song.
@@Sophia-hs7et Thank you for that explanation!!
A year of the most underrated masterpiece off folklore: peace
Ikr😭
When she said “would it be enough if i could never give you peace?” She’s referring to how she can never put a pause to all the hectic things going on (and is around the corner) in her life as a celebrity for her significant other to feel like Taylor and him are at peace. But she’d do anything and everything for her significant other, however, peace is something very difficult to give. (If we look at all the things Taylor had gone through these past few years)
isn't genius!?? I meeean... come on!!!... that brain...
ComostroTirsoJose YES SHE ISSSS!!!!
exactly👌💙
This is Taylor’s most mature love song she’s ever written. You can really see how she’s grown up through her songwriting. It’s such a beautiful song
The way she says “child” makes me ascend
Yes and yes
the best song of her career i cant express how much i love it.
Omg you have an amazing taste 😭
actually this is the best album of my life cause i can feel it.
I agree. Peace instantly stood out to me. I feel bad for all the people who have only heard a couple pop songs of hers and decided she’s not for them. They’re missing out on a lot! They’re missing out on one of the greatest song writers of all time.
“The rain is always gonna come if you’re standing with me.”
My favorite lyric on this song.
For some reason, I always think of "Rain came pouring down, when I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe."
Hits me everytime😭😭
According to Aaron Dessner who co-wrote most of folklore, Taylor recorded “Peace” in just one take and this is that version we hear! Maybe that’s another reason why she compared this album to her son Sad, Beautiful, Tragic on Red in which she also recorded in one take.
when did she compare it to sad beautiful tragic !
@Tyren Leahey In the TH-cam live chat before the premier for Cardigan, where she talked about a few other things as well (like the love triangle songs).
Taylor has/had a son???
@@dorissummitt14 they're talking about the song Sad Beautiful Tragic 😂
@@jasminegw3826 first name Sad, middle name Beautiful, last name Tragic-Swift-Alwyn LOL
When I first heard Lover, I didn’t think I could love a song more, never thought
she’d come up with a better love song, because to me, it was the ultimate love song, until this. It’s real and raw and it shows us her vulnerability. This album is her.
@@user-ne4yq5kc2p how edgy
Check out You Are In Love - a bonus song from the 1989 album
I don’t think I’m basic, I just love her music. I just really appreciate her songwriting. She’s the artist of our generation.

@@wadeschroeder6392 👍
“Give you my wild, give you a child” is such a beautiful line. I can’t stop thinking about it. I’ve never thought about having a baby with someone as “giving them a child”. To me, that almost sounds like the person doesn’t want to have kids, but they love the other person so much that they’d give them anything.
Despite 'the peace' she could never give, Joe fully accepts it and keeps staying by her side. WHAT A GENUINE LOVE❤️
It really is something instead of just the idea of something ❤

It's crazy how she predicted how the relationship will end. How she knows that she can give Joe all the love she have but it still wouldn't be enough for him as he wants peace ( a life which is not all over the media) peaceful life.
I think this song is all about telling joe about her deep fears. And wishing and asking if its enough. Her love is enough. Joe is a lucky man. Taylor too.
Definitely they are talking of getting married. I also think she might be pregnant. This song references having a child, and then another song on this album has the lyric "Baby with me". She's also wearing a very loose nightgown in yet another video. The sunlight streams through it and there's a slight outline of a tummy.
@@dayinthelifeofmycat well yeah. Kinda like katy perry did in daisies. Isnt it? Either way I am shipping them so hard.
I don’t think taylor is a man.
@@dinnerbone444 Taylor is the luckiest man. She said what she said.
@I'm Illiterate taylor's boyfriend
Taylor never fails to prove that she is so much more than just an Artist.
Yes exactly....and I always get amazed by her lyrics everytime.....never disappointed..!
I mean I think she proves she’s so much more than a pop singer.... she IS an artist. The truest form of the word. Not just a writer, not just a singer, or musician, or visual artist, but all of them together. Just an artist. Purely. Whether anyone likes her as a person or celebrity, or whatever, I can’t imagine anyone actually getting into her music and all the visuals and lyrics and not seeing her as a genius creative. One of the most creative artists of all time imo. Her writing is 😚👌🏼 . Lol I write poetry and creative nonfiction, obviously no where near Taylor lol, and the first time I heard My Tears Ricochet I literally said, “Holy shit.” out loud after the end of the first chorus 😂. She’s just such a wordsmith; it’s insane.
Edited for typo
for me she also a poet, feeling missed my literature subject in english class, hahaha
@@penggalikuburtongkatsemamb735 Lol but she is literally my second mother!!😂🤧❤
@@speeeee35Honestly I feel like Taylor is one of those very few artists in the music industry whose passion for music never lessens. She was destined to be a singer, songwriter etc. Like she has exactly the same amount of passion which she had in the beginning of her career, 14 years ago. Unlike other artists like JB( no offence) who have a couple of BOPs and then take advantage of their fame and money. They forget the reason of their fame. Taylor has never even digressed from her path and that's why she is definitely the greatest songwriter I have seen in my entire life.
"Robbers to the east, CLOWNS to the WEST" Okay Ms Swift.👏👏👏
Kanye west is quaking 😭😂
@Karen luvs Jesus lol let her take the victory ☑️
I relate to this song so much! About six months from my wedding date, I was diagnosed with cancer. We had to postpone our wedding as I had to go through tons of chemo, surgeries and radiation. My husband didn’t run. He has remained by my side through it all. It’s stage IV so it’s terminal. We end up at the hospital more often than anyone should. I can give him everything I have, but I can never give him peace. Cancer lives in me and it’s always just around the corner. 14 years of battling cancer is exhausting, not only for the patient, but for the entire family as well.
Peace is my favorite song and Happiness from Evermore is my second favorite.
I hope you are doing well. I'm stage IV too.
im so sorry, wishing you lots of peace
Thank you.
😢❤@@mommeoh
Taylor is teaching us what true love should be. Not the shiny glittery things we think exists
Indeed huhuhu
My love is glittery
@@butterflychirp9447 😆
Yeaa listen to paper rings -taylor swift...and daylight and afterglow. well listen to the WHOLE lover album
"Robbers to the East." Taylor's NYC apartment being broken in.
"Clowns in the West." Kanye West and KKW.
"No, I could never give you peace." Taylor's life and Joe always worrying about her!
Jessie Wesselmann it could also be Tayler telling Joe she can’t ever give him peace because she has had to deal with the robbers, the haters, the media and all that has happened to her. So she is asking him is she still enough even if she can’t bring that peace and quiet he cherishes. I think the song was more about hoping she and her crazy life was still enough for him.
Stephanie Bowman Of course! I 100% agree with you. Those were just the immediate thoughts I had when I first heard those lyrics.
I 💯 agree with you
@@stephaniebowman6102 Correct
Robbers to the east = scooter
She has to write books. Idc novels, poetry.. Anything. The world needs her brilliance!
This hits even more when you know she never felt “mature” enough to have a child but for him she’d do anything
So poetically beautiful
I don't trust people who skips this song.
i did
this and hoax
@@_moshiebubbly i don't trust you now
StarlightChaarm i don't care
one word for them 'TASTELESS'
Stop with the pregnancy, she's obviously not pregnant she's just proving a point.. she can give his man everything like her time, friendship, take his family as hers, a child, but she'll never be in peace because of her career and that's important because he'll be dragged too, that's why she asks if I'll be enough. Its friggin beautiful I'm crying so hard.
Samedt!
Yess..she once said she wanted to have ciwyw's bridge to be about having child with him but bcs of those dummies who assume that she is already preg she didn't want to do so
Ela pode estar sim grávida! Já tem 30 anos, namora há uns 4, qual o problema? Seria a hora certa.
Não vou escrever em inglês pois estou c preguiça
@@camilla2468 she was drinking wine when she dropped the album, thats why most people think shes not pregnant
Taylor's way of telling him: "Bruh, you in or not?"
🤣🤣
it's the bruh for me
This is the best comment 🤣🤣🤣
omg yes
a very complicated way of telling him "bruh, you in or not"
i didn’t think this song could be sadder but now with you’re losing me, she did everything she could, until she just realized she’s holding a wall
Her placement of lyrics in all of these videos is like a whole piece of art on its own, so amazing
the fact that Taylor actually wants to become a mother but because of her career choice she's always busy and her life is planned years ahead of it's time so she can't
she can actually , she the boss she can do anything she wants
Did she actually say that she wanted to have a baby?
@@rubyj9497 no she didn't. She said in miss Americana that she didn't think abt all that and it was hard to imagine
@@iritasheryl74 yh that’s what I thought, idk why people are saying she wants to become a mother when she hasn’t said anything about it
@@rubyj9497 I think this song is from Joe's perspective. Like may be joe wants to have a child with Taylor or marry her but Taylor doesn't thinks the same way . So she's telling him that may be if we were normal I could give you what you wanted but my life is different so if u stay with me I can never give you what u want or peace
the way her voice lightly changed when she sung "give you a child" was absolutely beautiful. because carrying and bearing a child is one of the hardest things a woman can do and the fact she would do it for her husband (and herself of course) is a gift of love.
This is amazingly sweet
Omg this made me emotional 😭
Aww
Not husband YET but I completely agree
Samantha Lawrence honestly i wouldn’t be surprised if they were married already their whole relationship is so private
Update: 2023
There is someone now who can finally accept the fact that she can never give him peace.
Take care of her, Travis. Don't mind the chaos; you can be each other's peace🥺♡
true and knowing that joe is introvert person but last for 6yrs dating taylor he has a lot of patient but now we don't know what's the reason of their break-up.

“Give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other” ❤️
The guitar on this is absolutely everything. Funny how the song is called Peace and it really is peaceful. Music like this really just takes me to another place. I love this album. It’s an instant classic and that’s hard to say about albums when they first come out.
Irony is that the lyrics are not really peaceful and it’s about how she is worried about her role in the relationship.
it’s actually a bass, which is layered, no one really does that in music, and i think it makes this song a lot more special. the layered bass + the lyrics = perfection
GUYS GUYS THROUGH OUT THE SONG THE BEEPING SOUND IS CONSTANT. THE MUSIC IS PEACEFUL AND SO IS HER VOICE BUT THE BEEING SOUND CREATES A FEELING OF ANXIETY THUS CONFIRMING WHAT TAYLOR SAID, "I could never give you peace"
P.S. sorry for the caps 😭
OMGS NICE OBSERVATION BESTIE- THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL

True
This and closure are one of the most meaningful songs in the albums but they are least liked becausw of the beat. Come on guys can't you understand what it tells.

that's a common saying just fyi :)
i’ve seen your comment on every video😂

@@annbugbee5623if no one had answered you yet it's cardigan
This song made me feel really bad for her, having the guilt of bringing stalkers, crazed fans, and not having the freedom to go anywhere to a relationship. She must feel horrible bringing Joe into that. It's something I never thought about
but joe stayed because he really cared about her... don't touch me i'm soft
Bingo
I wondered if this album came about because she and Joe broke up. It is a heart wrenching album. She has her heart here.
This relates to Dancing with our hands tied when Taylor was being pictured for the first time for awhile and paparazzi saying hurtfull things to her, she cried in her studio, writing the song and then wanted to break up with Joe but he refused the idea and kept standing tall protecting her. I mean... its so beautifulllll....
@@dorissummitt14 Actually most of the album is fiction, minus (probably) Invisible String and this song. But yeah, she really put her all in this album, but I love it.
Unpopular opinion: this is the best song out of folklore

This song feels like finally being with the right person who accepts your inner demons and loves you unconditionally
“Give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other” ugh that line hit hard

@@dani010203stor You might be right about that! 😊 But east isn’t capitalized and West is. If they were both capitalized I wouldn’t think as much of it but making one capitalized and the other not was totally done for a reason.

Wow. This album is a breath of fresh air. This is Taylor expressing herself in the fullest degree. This is her. This is a masterpiece. Absolutely. Her best album by a mile.
Absolutely
Editor: How small is the lyrics size?
Taylor: Yes
Lmao 🤣
Yes😂
Fr tho
She didn't want to ruin the imagery
Seriously my eyes are paining 😅
this is about how she loves him but thinks she's dragging him down... (cries)
That's how I feel...
me tho if i date people
Amos Is My Dogs Name
so accurate.
NOBODY CAN DRAG ME DOWN
Thats what i think
This reminds me of "The Archer" mixed with "Call It What You Want"
Exactly. It has the insecurity side from The Archer and the loving side from call it what you want
ikr 😫
I wonder how Joe would have felt when she played this song to him for the first time....
Ikr like the
I'll give you my wild
I'll give you a child
Like 👁️👄👁️
srsly? this is the most underatted song on the album, it's so calming & lyrically masterpiece though.
look guys, can we stop trying to throw out rumors like saying she's pregnant just because she is in a private relationship? because i really think she should have some peace. And lets not try to get details out of her relationship. its her relationship. lets stay out of it.
This comment should be at top👍
"Give you a child" wow she threw all of her emotions in this, I felt them with that line.
i hate when people say taylor is overrated, she’s not. yes, she’s well known, but she’s only really know for the people that find her lyrics deep and beautiful. yes, her songs are for everyone to hear, but only few relate or understand the meaning behind her lyrics.
People who say Taylor is overrated, untalented, overhyped, not a singer don't know her music tbh except her hits imo
"but the rain is always gonna come
if you're standing with me"
This made me really sad. All her past relationships have been destroyed by the media and here she's still scared that media will ruin what she has with Joe BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS DO and rain will always come.
I hope it doesn't happen this time. I hope she can give him peace.
agree 🥺❤
Exactly, this part of the lyrics made me sad. I'm sure she'll make it work with the right person.
I hope *he* can give *her* peace
Joe couldn't stand the rain storm
I recommend listening to this album in your balcony with a cup of coffee and your journal 📔 I promise it will be the best feeling ever
especially during stormy weather? omg now you’ve made me feel idk, peace
As a damaged person with an extremely toxic family, and in a loving healthy relationship with someone so pure... This hits hard.
I dont think i will ever get tired of listening to folklore & evermore. My favorite two albums of all time.
The line “the devils in the details, but you got a friend in me.” I felt that.
What does it mean? I can't u understand how friend thing is related to devil's in the details part.
@@champagne483 it's an idiom it means that a mysterious element is hidden in the details. something that might seem simple at first glance but is actually very complicated and dark.

I usually don't cry listening to any song. But this one hits hard. Knowing that you can give everything to your partner but peace is so heartbreaking. I just want Taylor to be happy with joe. Cause they both deserve it.
Singing this and addressing it to yourself can literally give you peace of mind. Like I'll try my best to take care of me, be my own friend, and not talk shit about myself. Idk how else to explain it other than its almost like acceptance of yourself as a person that deserves to be loved.
Taylor literally released a whole album while everyone was listening to CARDIGAN
Yes😂
I KNOW
She still needed to surprise us somehow!
The perfect distraction
I have no idea what to listen to first now
I love how she dropped an entire album almost spontaneously and all the songs are so relaxing...
Peace is my favorite, and I feel like that’s a little unpopular. It makes me think about how I’ve let traumatic events dictate how I view my purpose and my place. I’m my biggest cheerleader, telling myself that if I got through THAT, I can get through anything but deep down I’m prolonging my recovery because I’m afraid of who I might be without my issues. My anxiety. My shame. What if I’m just a bad, flawed person and these labels I use as excuses, reasons, are just core flaws of mine? What if I do everything to get better and there’s still something missing? What if I’m just destined for pain? I can deal with this paper-cut pain, that I’ve carried with me day after day, month after month, but putting on bandages feels like just another way of exposing myself to a bullet. I can take the continuous pounding, but no more big storms. I “keep my brittle heart warm” but I’m my own “cascade ocean wave blues” that come. I have been happy and grown and loved people and had them love me back, more than I could have ever imagined. But I’m so afraid of reaching for more.
I can never give me peace.
Trademark these words before someone takes them. They're poetry.
💜
Wow...
I know what you mean. I went through the same thing. I was scared of being happy, I didn't know what it felt like and it was weird for a while. But I learned that you can't forget about anxiety and depression. You have to co-exist with it. I tried to forget about all my problems and pretend they weren't real. I had to accept that I was depressed, I had to accept my whole life. Acknowledge that I went through some pretty bad stuff to move on. The anxiety hasn't left me but I am more at peace with it. I feel so much better these days. I hope this helps you
Its like you climbed right into my brain and put it into poetry. Listening to this album makes me stop and think about myself for a moment and not just everything around me. The songs at first just sounded the same and just sad but now they have allowed me to think more than ever. I think about how I am one little piece in this world and that every little thing I do changes something else. I think about how there is never peace in the world. There is always something going on but it is what we do to deal with it that makes it worth having no peace. It's like you're always on the edge but nothings ever perfect. We have to stop and look back for a moment and realize that we are important. No matter what anyone else thinks we can get through it.
This year has brought out a new and ugly side of myself that I have never seen before, but always knew was there. And I keep thinking that if I ignore it, it'll go away. And it keeps not going away. And if I talk about it with people I judge myself for it. And now, is that who they think I am? And is this who I have to be now? And slowly but surely I have stopped talking to everybody in my life because this is all I can think about anymore and I don't want them to know or see this part of me.
And I can never have peace.
I know this song was written about her life in the spotlight, but as someone who struggles with depression I feel like this is an accurate representation about how someone with mental illness loves.
