I am an old codger and was never into taylor swift, but seeing this beautiful young woman singing a georgeous phil collins number changed all that and blew away my prejudices. She sings this with such sensitivity and she really owns it. The song is a tale of obsessive love with a gorgeous melody and this cover has encouraged me to find life and artistry in places I thought there was none. Thanks Phil and Taylor.
What a lovely comment. You may love her albums Folklore and Evermore, if you like this. Listen to the slower songs off those, especially Ivy, Evermore, Champagne Problems (this one especially). As well as the song Safe and Sound by her. You may enjoy
Yes. I'm older too, and just discovering Taylor's wonderful talent during the past few weeks. Others have said that there's a healing quality to Taylor's songs and her voice. I quite agree, and that is so important in these challenging times! ❤
I am a life long Phil Collins fan and her version brought tear to my eye. She delivered an emotional element to this song that I hadn’t felt since the first time I heard it from Phil. Thank you Taylor!
ballads and slow-tempo songs really and perfectly compliment her voice. I don't understand why people say that she can't sing because having a high or rare vocal range isn't the only basis of whether someone can or cannot sing.
Exactly, take a look at Adele and Ariana Grande. Both have completely different vocal ranges but both can sing. Like I would know cause they both sound great to me. There’s actual people who can’t sing and those are the ones who have horrible pitch and control and don’t have a trained ear and need lots of autotune.
Yes she is!!! Her and Lana Del Rey are my favorites!!! The only two who literally put their entire souls into there music for their fans!!! I love you Taylor Alison Swift!!! 12-13-89 I’m a Sagittarius as well!!!
@@SaarNSN check out this one as well th-cam.com/video/UU1l8uD2cT4/w-d-xo.html - the Collins' song was a cover of this version which came in the late 70s and thus has no synths or drum machines which Collins' used on almost every track so it's very different

When her story is written, she won't be known as just another pop star. Taylor Swift will be remembered for her uncanny storytelling abilities and how she effortlessly communicates her feelings through music even when she's singing someone else's song. That's why I'm proud to call myself a Swiftie. That and I love her sense of humor and admire how generous she is to her fans. 💓💛💙💚💜♥️💘🐈
Not enough singers today understand the point of emoting and connecting the notes with the lyrics, with the audience. Many can sing the notes, but that connection isn't there in a live performance. Bette Midler commented on this a few years back. Swift gets that and I think that's a huge part of the reason why she has had such a loyal fan following. She understands that peforming isn't just about who is on stage. It's about making that emotional connection with your audience.
yep agree the way she performs and her lyrics resonates with millions of people worldwide is one of the reasons she's still at the top of the music industry and why she's getting better as the years go on
From a big Phil Collins fan, this version is just perfection. Beautiful effort by Taylor, back up singers and band. I just keep coming back to this just to appreciate the brilliance of the performance!
There's something about the combo of Taylor's voice and an 80s-sounding synth that hits different. It suits her well, which is why I love songs like Bigger Than The Whole Sky, Don't You, and You Are In Love.
@@antonynation9954 She specifically said she was covering the great Phil Collins here. It's definitely a Phil Collins song, and I'm sure Mr. Sayer is very proud of how well Phil made this song his own.
I'd be honored if some fans of Taylor's 1989 era would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of BLANK SPACE and NEW ROMANTICS on my YT channel in tribute to the greatest album and tour of the '010s decade. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks & keep on swifting.
This is a surprisingly sophisticated and nuanced vocal performance, one of the best I've heard Taylor give. There is nowhere to hide here- the background music and vocals are turned very low, they might as well not be there at all. Plus since it's not her song I'm impressed by how she gives just the right touch of emotion to it. Not too sweet, not too sad.
It's the good thing about her. She's not the rangiest-most virtuouso singer, but she can make you feel the lyrics. She could sing Gangnam Style and still make it feel like some trascendental sh*t

@Andy Webster "People love to explain away a woman's success in the music industry" - TS. That contends the first part of your comment pretty well. As for her musical abilities, she's a fantastic songwriter who has written all of her own music since the age of 12. She wrote an entire album by herself at the age of 18. One of her songs is considered one of the greatest songs of the 21st Century. She plays 4 different instruments. The fact that you think she's an "average" musician goes to show that you know nothing about her. She's a goddamn musical prodigy.
I just closed my eyes listening to this stunning cover and I felt like I am in another world where everything is perfect, where is no pain, but only pure love. I wish I could live there.. ❤️ Please be kind to each other and have an amazing day ☀️
Let's All Change the World.....Let's Spread Kindness & Love Everyday and Over Take The World From The Evil That Keeps Lurking It's Ugliness Too Often!!!!
Because her own song writing is so spectacular and her sound is so much her sound at this point, I had never considered how she would sound doing a cover. This is beautiful.
Taylor went from being "the girl with the breakup songs" to having one of the most beautiful voices out there and amazing lyrics ...aka from artist of the year to artist of the decade :P
Agree. she honestly used to be pretty bad. When she sang "I can sing" on that one song, she really couldn't. Not in tune anyways. And while she's still not exactly Celine Dion she can definitely can sing now and actually has a really amazing low voice
4'59 she looks across the studio and watches the producer breakout in tears , politely grins nd finnishes off ..Taylor you made it ! Love this version , love the set ....thank you thank you ...
This young lady is really good and I agree with Phil she really does nail it ,she’s worth all the money she earns.very seldom does a rare talent such as hers come along,and that’s from a guy who’s a tad older than the great Phil Collins.
I COULD NOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE! I am 55 and I have felt the same way about Taylor for a while. my daughter became obsessed with Taylor when she was 7 years old,that is what got my attention. The more I watched and learned what a wholesome really genuine person she was I really fell in love with her and her music.Someone on here said feelings matter and they really do.She is an epic story teller through her music and I just love it all so much. I think my lucky stars we got the chance to meet her in 2015.
This is transcendental. Her vocal mesmerizes me every time I listen to her. She is at her peak when it comes to acoustic performances, unparalleled. The way she expresses emotions through each word is truly remarkable. I just love her so much 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Then she could try other songs by Leo Sayer, the original singer of this song. In case you don't know, Phil Collins's version is a cover of the original by Leo Sayer in 1978. She could try : - "When I Need You" which was previously covered by Julio Iglesias. This is the most famous song by Leo Sayer that became hit in mid 1970s. That song may fit to current situation when we are all supposed to stay home.
You’re right on the history. In this case she takes it to another level and it’s beautiful and it’s so emotional that leaves heartbreaking individuals wanting to hear more of her. Cause it’s that passionate from the ❤️
It sounds like she wrote this song the whole time. It is shown that Taylor has successfully done a great job with representing the meaning of Phil's masterpiece. She is pure talented!
Extraordinary... Jesus. Her soft voice, her facial expression and her lookin at the camera like that.... she could also be an actress. It feels like a lullaby before going to bed
lol come on now she can have anyone who wants her back in this world, a ten plus the fledgling grew up to be, inside and out, 20/20 is more like it 100 percent visrion, lets evaluate? huh, evaluate what? lol her lack of being able to meet her soul,ate? or she has? she ihas a right to have some privacy/ so many earn a living wage on her works, lets not forget how much she has given,
Dear Taylor I am 66, twice your age. I felt you in Back to December and ìn Raindrops on my guitar also on Doubt with Mary J Blige. Your rendition of Phil Collins song Can't stop loving you isexquisite. I love you so much. You have my vote on Travis
Who else gets goosebumps at the last few lines "Why should I even try? I'll always be here by your side I didn't wanna say goodbye So why should I even try?" Because it sounds Like the 80's and its awesome! :')
I just discovered this and It makes me wanna cry. This used to be 'our song' when my bf and I were in a long-distance relationshipt and travelled by train every weekend. Now we live together. I've been a TS fan since '09 so it is amazing to have Taylor sing this song that means so much to me.
Taylor proves that she not only knows how to sing catchy songs to blast the charts around the world with her astonishing vocal power, but she also knows how to nuance a slow song with little musical accompaniment. The most important thing for a great singer-songwriter will always be the words that he transmits to us, but not with words but with the nuances of his voice and this time with a different and personal interpretation of a song by the great Phil Collins. Marvelous. 🌹💎🖤⚜
I grew up listening to Phil Collins and Genesis because Phil was my moms favorite singer. And now my favorite singer is singing one of his songs. I loved this cover it fit her voice perfectly and she did amazing.
She could be an adult contemporary master. She did a whole show with Def Leppard when she was a teenager. Her mom influenced her a lot and she has a lot of fans that age.
@Richard Christopher exactly what is wrong with you that you can't let people just enjoy things? Listening to that song brings back a lot of memories from my childhood so it was nice to hear again.
because they are haters. You don't have to love her but you have to admit her talents. My son is a professional musician and he won't talk her down, she isn't on his playlist but he respects her. And she is a hard worker, why she and Travis are a good match. I suspect they have similar temperaments, he always said he wanted a powerful woman rocking her own world.
I will absolutely keep this song. The part about staying by her side, it’s got my beloved Gail of 35 years written all over it. So glad we never stopped loving each other. When I played it for her, the other day, she cried. A good cry. Thanks, Taylor.
Even though I've never found my beloved 'one', this Senior Swiftie still feels blessed to have Tay and how she can make me deeply feel so many loving emotions💓I'm so glad you have found her too!
I gotta say, I'm not the biggest Taylor Swift fan, but MAN she just nailed this cover. This is one of my favourite Phil tracks, and she really did a great great job on it. Incredible
This wasn’t a Phil Collins song originally. It was written by Billy Nichols and released by both Leo Sayer and The Outlaws prior to Phil Collins version th-cam.com/video/3N_7gmnaeDE/w-d-xo.html
Melanie Petrandis vocally she’s not nearly as dominant as others who have achieved even remotely the amount of success she has. There’s more elements to Taylor that put her over the top. You’re missing what I’m saying.
The usual BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge set up: dark room, band, singer Taylor's set up: 23 carpets 8 musicians in total 7 instruments 1 Taylor 1 fancy panorama view fancy lights
Laura you forgot another one, she did 6 songs!!! Most of the time they only did 2 songs, except maybe Ari she did 4. And Taylor didn’t flew to UK, the BBC come to her to US. I mean only Taylor can do that.. 🤷🏻♀️
@@artsyputsy actually they did it for miley too! BBC has to come to her and to her house and she did Malibu, younger now, party in the usa, see you again and i think one cover...
The tune, rhythm and way of "why should i" made my heart feel the question... its so beautiful.. the melody of this version made me feel the emotion i shouldn't be feeling.. im sat on my sofa watching a movie and playing this ..... but that tune puts me in a situation im not in
@@keyastahl3820 Hi Keya. Thanks to you and the more recent replier for pointing out this song was originally performed by Leo Sayer. I was a fan of his hit songs when I was young teenager in the 70s. I found a recording online by him of the song back you first posted your message. I did not enjoy Leo’s version, but glad it found wide acceptance later on.
Everything about this song is heavenly. A magic woman. Background singers touched to the tears. The message of "I never said Goodbye. I´m always waiting for you." is actually every truly loving being´s and GOD´s message to us. You can always come back. True love never turns into hatred. This song touches me to the core, looking into her face just releases so many emotions past trauma have buried deep. Once you listen to her music, everything else is just boring. Thank you Taylor, for being you. Your forever Swiftie.
This is honestly the best I have ever heard her voice sound. This is the best song I have ever heard her sing. Period. This should definitely be on an album. She should sing more love songs like this. #mesmerising. This is coming from one of the biggest Swifties in the world. Taylor please get this on an album!
So you're leaving in the morning on the early train I could say everything's alright And I could pretend and say goodbye Got your ticket Got your suitcase Got your leaving smile I could say that's the way it goes And I could pretend and you won't know That I was lying Cause I can't stop loving you No I can't stop loving you No I won't stop loving you Why should I? We took a taxi to the station, not a word was said And I saw you walk across the road For maybe the last time, I don't know Feeling humble I heard a rumble On the railway track And when I hear that whistle blow I'll walk away and you won't know That I'll be crying Cause I can't stop loving you No I can't stop loving you No I won't stop loving you Why should I? Even try, I'll always be here by your side Why, why, why, I never wanted to say goodbye Why even try, I'll always be here if you Change, change your mind So you're leaving in the morning on the early train I could say everything's alright And I could pretend and say goodbye But that would be lying Cause I can't stop loving you No I can't stop loving you No I won't stop loving you Why should I even try?
Such a beautiful voice, she absolutely nails it. Lovely to hear it.

She has the same band she had from Fearless, and her backup singers have been with her for so long, some since Red. That says so much about Taylor.

Salvatore Tota Well it’s not magic but she is a wonderful human being
I ❤ her
@Andy Webster You obviously don't know anything about her.
Andy Webster she is a writer and producer on her album, other artist also have producers, what have u been smoking ?
@Andy Webster "People love to explain away a woman's success in the music industry" - TS. That contends the first part of your comment pretty well.
As for her musical abilities, she's a fantastic songwriter who has written all of her own music since the age of 12. She wrote an entire album by herself at the age of 18. One of her songs is considered one of the greatest songs of the 21st Century. She plays 4 different instruments.
The fact that you think she's an "average" musician goes to show that you know nothing about her. She's a goddamn musical prodigy.
Her voice is majestic at the end of the song. Her ability to speak the lyrics instead of just sing them really hits deep. Special voice.
I just closed my eyes listening to this stunning cover and I felt like I am in another world where everything is perfect, where is no pain, but only pure love. I wish I could live there.. ❤️ Please be kind to each other and have an amazing day ☀️
same 😍
What a beautiful comment! Have an amazing day as well
I did it too!
Let's All Change the World.....Let's Spread Kindness & Love Everyday and Over Take The World From The Evil That Keeps Lurking It's Ugliness Too Often!!!!
Ece B ..brought tears to my eyes..so beautiful💯❤️❤️
She’s so good at evocating emotion, and her voice always me feel like I’m inside a dream... so smooth
She makes this sound like HER song, I'm speechless.
Don’t like Taylor’s song really but this song and how she sing it..mind blowing and what a professional.
so true. i seriously thought this was from lover album.
Because her own song writing is so spectacular and her sound is so much her sound at this point, I had never considered how she would sound doing a cover. This is beautiful.
There are so many covers she’s done that are so beautiful!
She has one of the most beautiful voices out there, and the way she uses it she touches your heart like no one can.
The fact that lately she kind of has this 80s vibe to her production put together with the era of this song is everything!
Annamarie Sieberns I agree! I cant stop listening to Lover song because it seems like an OST of an old movie.
Taylor went from being "the girl with the breakup songs" to having one of the most beautiful voices out there and amazing lyrics ...aka from artist of the year to artist of the decade :P
Although this is technically a breakup song.
thaler67 yeah but it’s not her song so the haters have no problem with that
Her breakthrough singles were not even breakup songs. They are teenage crush songs. "Love Story" and "You Belong With Me."
She sings it as if's her own story and as if she wrote it!!! Really beautiful and a big compliment to Taylor.
I've become a happily participating member of, The 'I'm Not Really A Taylor Swift Fan, But Dang!...She's Absolutely Killing It!' Club.
she really can sing EVERYTHING.
It's all in her self belief.
Nah. I'm a Swiftie but I'm no delusional like this. She slay acoustic performances if a song is fitted inside her vocal range.
No not everything this sounds like a lot of what she does and it's good but not everything come on
@@LawrenceVengeance Yeah I swear this kind of songs fits her vocals, how I wish she could add more vibrato she'll be the best 💓💓
@@dna8557 she could but her biggest vocal flaw, prone to strain, keeps her from doing it.
You can't produce vibrato with strains
a concept: Taylor re-recording all of her albums in THIS PERFECT ACOUSTIC MANNER
I'm overwhelmed at the thought
King of my heart acoustic... epic
Becoz of her old master tapes being sold to another publisher, she recently has said she'd consider re recording her songs afresh.
She has improved so much vocally
👏👏👏👏
Agreed! Cant wait for her to redo her masters!!!
blake ashley 💯 she must have had good vocal training. I love when singers are still doing that - it shows they care 😂
Agree. she honestly used to be pretty bad. When she sang "I can sing" on that one song, she really couldn't. Not in tune anyways. And while she's still not exactly Celine Dion she can definitely can sing now and actually has a really amazing low voice
@@PlumbPitiful ive never heard her say "i can sing" in a song. Which song was this?
blake ashley She isn’t Sia or Beyoncé. But her voice has this intangible quality. She conveys emotions through her voice so well.
4'59 she looks across the studio and watches the producer breakout in tears , politely grins nd finnishes off ..Taylor you made it ! Love this version , love the set ....thank you thank you ...
This young lady is really good and I agree with Phil she really does nail it ,she’s worth all the money she earns.very seldom does a rare talent such as hers come along,and that’s from a guy who’s a tad older than the great Phil Collins.
💕
I COULD NOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE! I am 55 and I have felt the same way about Taylor for a while. my daughter became obsessed with Taylor when she was 7 years old,that is what got my attention. The more I watched and learned what a wholesome really genuine person she was I really fell in love with her and her music.Someone on here said feelings matter and they really do.She is an epic story teller through her music and I just love it all so much. I think my lucky stars we got the chance to meet her in 2015.
Ken Hatchett th-cam.com/video/MzRBCwuzgqw/w-d-xo.html
♥️♥️♥️
This sound would have perfectly fit with the rest of her songs in the album!
This is transcendental. Her vocal mesmerizes me every time I listen to her. She is at her peak when it comes to acoustic performances, unparalleled. The way she expresses emotions through each word is truly remarkable. I just love her so much 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
This is painfully beautiful . I thought i couldn’t love her more.
This lady is pure class....
Every song should be rerecorded with Taylor's voice
Ikr 😂❤️
Rett Bull agree!!!!!
Then she could try other songs by Leo Sayer, the original singer of this song. In case you don't know, Phil Collins's version is a cover of the original by Leo Sayer in 1978.
She could try :
- "When I Need You" which was previously covered by Julio Iglesias. This is the most famous song by Leo Sayer that became hit in mid 1970s. That song may fit to current situation when we are all supposed to stay home.
You’re right on the history. In this case she takes it to another level and it’s beautiful and it’s so emotional that leaves heartbreaking individuals wanting to hear more of her. Cause it’s that passionate from the ❤️
@@lexsoft3969 It is not original from Leo Sayer but from White Horse one year before him
It sounds like she wrote this song the whole time. It is shown that Taylor has successfully done a great job with representing the meaning of Phil's masterpiece. She is pure talented!
This is a Billy Nicholls masterpiece sung originally by Leo Sayer. Phil just did a cover like Swift
@@suejanemcclung9137 the information you put here is truly helpful, i will use it as a reference. Thank you so much. ♥️
😍♾😍

Not really a Swiftie, but I have returned a few times to hear this. A beautiful, soft rendition, delivered from the heart.
Me too
Extraordinary... Jesus. Her soft voice, her facial expression and her lookin at the camera like that.... she could also be an actress. It feels like a lullaby before going to bed
The emotion on her face says it all. 10/10!
lol come on now she can have anyone who wants her back in this world, a ten plus the fledgling grew up to be, inside and out, 20/20 is more like it 100 percent visrion, lets evaluate? huh, evaluate what? lol her lack of being able to meet her soul,ate? or she has? she ihas a right to have some privacy/ so many earn a living wage on her works, lets not forget how much she has given,
@@onnietalone3181 take a shower and go outside touch some grass
She is not just the Queen of writing heartbreak songs but also the Queen performing them. She puts the right atmosphere and countenance. Pure talent.
Dear Taylor I am 66, twice your age. I felt you in Back to December and ìn Raindrops on my guitar also on Doubt with Mary J Blige. Your rendition of Phil Collins song Can't stop loving you isexquisite. I love you so much. You have my vote on Travis
Who else gets goosebumps at the last few lines
"Why should I even try?
I'll always be here by your side
I didn't wanna say goodbye
So why should I even try?"
Because it sounds Like the 80's and its awesome!
:')
Tanusree Nath sameee
Yeaah the whole chorus has like an 80’s instrumental ,that’s why I absolutely love this cover with her voice that perfectly suits with it
I just discovered this and It makes me wanna cry. This used to be 'our song' when my bf and I were in a long-distance relationshipt and travelled by train every weekend. Now we live together. I've been a TS fan since '09 so it is amazing to have Taylor sing this song that means so much to me.
❤️❤️
Oooh same, back to the country music era. I preferred her cheesy country music to her pop music though. She's fantastic in this cover
hope you break up
Taylor proves that she not only knows how to sing catchy songs to blast the charts around the world with her astonishing vocal power, but she also knows how to nuance a slow song with little musical accompaniment. The most important thing for a great singer-songwriter will always be the words that he transmits to us, but not with words but with the nuances of his voice and this time with a different and personal interpretation of a song by the great Phil Collins. Marvelous. 🌹💎🖤⚜
taylor’s discography mostly consists of slower songs only.
@@KristinFehrman £
I don't think I will ever stop loving this cover. Taylor's ability to empathize and emote will always be what sets her apart for me.
Her voice is smooth like butter. A beautiful cover. You did it again Miss Taylor Allison Swift :)
Omg what a voice
Thanks Maya I didn't know Taylor's middle name. Now I do! An old fashioned name with a modern one. 😊👍
Alison
@@vitoriajeronimo8454 Taylor Alison Swift born 13th December 1989. What a day. Beautiful Day.😊💪🤞💐☀️💜
I couldn’t have agreed more!!
Taylor sang this song so beautifully that you could picture it vividly. Proud to be a Swiftie.
So true. I get goosebumps when I first listen to this cover.
I grew up listening to Phil Collins and Genesis because Phil was my moms favorite singer. And now my favorite singer is singing one of his songs. I loved this cover it fit her voice perfectly and she did amazing.
She could be an adult contemporary master. She did a whole show with Def Leppard when she was a teenager. Her mom influenced her a lot and she has a lot of fans that age.
Phil has lots of songs she could song.
Catrina Berringer SAMEEEE 😭😭😭 too too goood
@Richard Christopher exactly what is wrong with you that you can't let people just enjoy things? Listening to that song brings back a lot of memories from my childhood so it was nice to hear again.
@Richard Christopher then go ahead and be a miserable person. Doesn't hurt me any.
I don’t understand why people say she can’t sing. This is beautiful ❤
because they are haters. You don't have to love her but you have to admit her talents. My son is a professional musician and he won't talk her down, she isn't on his playlist but he respects her. And she is a hard worker, why she and Travis are a good match. I suspect they have similar temperaments, he always said he wanted a powerful woman rocking her own world.
I will absolutely keep this song. The part about staying by her side, it’s got my beloved Gail of 35 years written all over it. So glad we never stopped loving each other. When I played it for her, the other day, she cried. A good cry. Thanks, Taylor.
Aw sweet!
❤
You're a lovely man Floyd
Even though I've never found my beloved 'one', this Senior Swiftie still feels blessed to have Tay and how she can make me deeply feel so many loving emotions💓I'm so glad you have found her too!
Someone has to say it, this gives me “right where you left me” and “champagne problems” vibes
Yesss "leaving in the early train" and "I'll always be here if you change your mind"
and the beginning of happiness gives me the same vibes too i love it
This sounds if the man from champagne problems could say something to the girl who left him💔💔💔
@@rashikak3261 now you made me cry, thank you
Now gives me major Don’t You vibes
Nobody can sing a cover like Taylor!! She kills it!
Brooke McKinley ever heard of Jennifer Hudson?
Luunga Munasinyungwe well, she can too! 😆
I'm in love with this. Just discovered Taylor Swift when her Midnights Album came out. Lots to catch up on. She's amazing.
I gotta say, I'm not the biggest Taylor Swift fan, but MAN she just nailed this cover. This is one of my favourite Phil tracks, and she really did a great great job on it. Incredible
This is actually my favorite Phil Collins song, and the fact that one of my favorite artists is singing it feels like a miracle 😁☺️
Sarah Jordan th-cam.com/video/MzRBCwuzgqw/w-d-xo.html
This wasn’t a Phil Collins song originally. It was written by Billy Nichols and released by both Leo Sayer and The Outlaws prior to Phil Collins version th-cam.com/video/3N_7gmnaeDE/w-d-xo.html
For me my fav it’s another day in paradise
This one and two hearts and cant you see me now
What Taylor lacks in vocals, she more than makes up for in tone, deliverance, lyrics, and relation to her fans. Once in a generation talent. An icon.
Melanie Petrandis vocally she’s not nearly as dominant as others who have achieved even remotely the amount of success she has. There’s more elements to Taylor that put her over the top. You’re missing what I’m saying.
winalldayeveryday much better than Madonna. She is a IT girl
Nina B Madonna sucks always has
@@Nahin7866 if she was a man you wouldn't hate her.
@@Nahin7866 and so are you
Her voice like what it’s soo beautiful it’s insane I can feel every word she’s singing 😭 Taylor Alison swift you’re the best !!!
The usual BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge set up: dark room, band, singer
Taylor's set up:
23 carpets
8 musicians in total
7 instruments
1 Taylor
1 fancy panorama view
fancy lights
Laura you forgot another one, she did 6 songs!!! Most of the time they only did 2 songs, except maybe Ari she did 4.
And Taylor didn’t flew to UK, the BBC come to her to US. I mean only Taylor can do that.. 🤷🏻♀️
ArtsyPutsy SHE IS TAYLOR SWIFT. 😎
Laura she’s in NY, she couldn’t go to London so they brought BBC1 to her 🤣
That's a legend!
@@artsyputsy actually they did it for miley too!
BBC has to come to her and to her house and she did Malibu, younger now, party in the usa, see you again and i think one cover...
The way she evokes such melancholy with her voice is amazing.
It’s like a film, the way she is singing it, so emotional, like a dream 💖
The tune, rhythm and way of "why should i" made my heart feel the question... its so beautiful.. the melody of this version made me feel the emotion i shouldn't be feeling.. im sat on my sofa watching a movie and playing this ..... but that tune puts me in a situation im not in
Nice calming voice, she nailed it I can't get over this
Her vocals are perfect
Exactly, im dead 😍😍😍
Taylor's rendition is just beautifully calming and even majical with an ethereal touch.
Holy friggin crap! Huge fan of of the Phil Collins original; truly blown away by this Taylor Swift version. I, I, I, I had no idea. Respect.
Thanks for taking the time to wirte this beautiful comment!!! It's nice to see there are still people out there who don't have the urge to hate
You know, it’s actually *not* originally by Phil Collins. You should go listen to Leo Sayer’s version.
Song goes way back before Phil covered it though this version seems to come from his version.
@@keyastahl3820 Hi Keya. Thanks to you and the more recent replier for pointing out this song was originally performed by Leo Sayer. I was a fan of his hit songs when I was young teenager in the 70s. I found a recording online by him of the song back you first posted your message. I did not enjoy Leo’s version, but glad it found wide acceptance later on.
This song goes back to late 70s Phil Collins didn’t do cover till 2006
3:59 oh the background vocals behind her voice are heaven 😭
Phil Collins delivered this incredible song, and I loved it, and Taylor Swift just gave me full body shivers ... wow!
Everything about this song is heavenly. A magic woman. Background singers touched to the tears. The message of "I never said Goodbye. I´m always waiting for you." is actually every truly loving being´s and GOD´s message to us. You can always come back. True love never turns into hatred. This song touches me to the core, looking into her face just releases so many emotions past trauma have buried deep. Once you listen to her music, everything else is just boring. Thank you Taylor, for being you. Your forever Swiftie.
Her voice emotes emotions on such a deep scale that you get goosebumps once you listen to it. 🙏🏼👸🏼
Imagine her singing this in a huge stadium and everyone has their flashlights out
Omg I hope she does!!!!
Peyton Bowen I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic but there’s this thing called a phone flashlight
@@peytonbowen2364 well, the thing... in your... phone?!
Well… with the smartphones like in recent years it wouldn't be the same vibe.
Elyse Howard in rep tour everyone had bracelets that lit up and it looked magical 😔
My god those background singers literally added magic
This is honestly the best I have ever heard her voice sound. This is the best song I have ever heard her sing. Period. This should definitely be on an album. She should sing more love songs like this. #mesmerising. This is coming from one of the biggest Swifties in the world. Taylor please get this on an album!
I will never forget this version Taylor, my. eyes comes to tears. This is art.
May God bless you.
From the farmer by heart Denmark
an entire year and still I can't get over this cover, her voice heals, hope we get more covers like this sometime soon
Songs like this really compliment Taylor's vocals..
this is my fave cover of hers. i still come back to this
So you're leaving in the morning on the early train
I could say everything's alright
And I could pretend and say goodbye
Got your ticket
Got your suitcase
Got your leaving smile
I could say that's the way it goes
And I could pretend and you won't know
That I was lying
Cause I can't stop loving you
No I can't stop loving you
No I won't stop loving you
Why should I?
We took a taxi to the station, not a word was said
And I saw you walk across the road
For maybe the last time, I don't know
Feeling humble
I heard a rumble
On the railway track
And when I hear that whistle blow
I'll walk away and you won't know
That I'll be crying
Cause I can't stop loving you
No I can't stop loving you
No I won't stop loving you
Why should I?
Even try, I'll always be here by your side
Why, why, why, I never wanted to say goodbye
Why even try, I'll always be here if you
Change, change your mind
So you're leaving in the morning on the early train
I could say everything's alright
And I could pretend and say goodbye
But that would be lying
Cause I can't stop loving you
No I can't stop loving you
No I won't stop loving you
Why should I even try?
Thank you
Thankyouu.. just searching for the lyric to sing along.. Thanks a lot you are really helping ❤
Thanksss
