"Should've kept every grocery store receipt cause every scrap of you would be taken from me". That line cuts deep in the heart of every person who has lost a loved one. The most painful part of this life is the time we spend missing those who have left before us.
I lost my Grandmother when I was in my teens, being too immature to know I should have valued her while she was alive. There are hundreds of questions I would ask her, if I could go back there now. Hundreds.
@@yarkn3791 it means that every single part of her grandmother would be taken from her, because of her passes. She should've kept the receipts because it would've been one of the only things left of her, for her to hold onto. I hope that makes sense :)
@@davidmichael9624 I feel this way too even with her song, The Best Day (I can't sing it when my late mother's face flashes into my mind during the bridge part)
I genuinely think this is one of the best songs Taylor’s ever written. It’s a beautiful way to immortalise her grandmother, and deal with the grief of losing her. I lost both my Grandmothers young, and I really wish they were both here, so I could ask them questions, and have them with me as I grow. This song hits deep.
@@douaemar3644 At 3:18 and at the end of the song. She was an opera singer so I think Taylor sampled some of her old recordings to put them into the song.
@@jacobadams4314 I think she regrets not asking her enough questions about her life and just appreciating the time they had together before it was too late. For example when she says 'I should've asked you questions, I should've asked you how to be'. Such a beautiful song with a deeper meaning behind it.
@@maritojo Should've kept every grocery store receipt *'Cause every scrap of you would be taken from me* Watched as you signed your name Marjorie I think this bit makes it very sad, knowing that she couldve appreciated that time with her before it was too late...
The line “I should’ve asked you questions, I should’ve asked you how to be” is so devastating and captures that specific feeling of regret after losing a loved one. I don’t know how Taylor’s able to perform this again and again on tour without crying! It’s hard not to be emotional whenever I listen to it.
I sort of take it as a but of regret on not getting advice from her on how to handle fame and a music career in general. Taylor was, I believe, 14 when she lost her grandmother.
@karroq is right , she also doesn’t even get to see her start her career. It’s true that it’s full of regret. Baby Taylor in this video is also just cute.
True, as someone who lost their mom before I was mature enough that specific part hits me really hard and makes me cry, there was so much more I needed to learn from her. I'm not a fan per se but lyrics like this makes me like Taylor so much
It was so creepy when I first heard this song because about two days before the album was released I was thinking and researching about Taylor Swift's grandma for some reason cause I was missing my own grandma. It was such a weird coincidence
@@tracyrobinson3219 I ugly cried through the entirety of Marjorie and now again after seeing so many people had related in the same way. Sending you love.
She's a genius... not only did she get her grandma's vocals but she played them just when singing "I'd think you were singing to me now"... this is magnificent
Omg now that I've noticed it her grandma has such an wonderful vocals taylor really gets from her grandma for being such an amazing talented artist ❤️ she got inspired by her grandma 💘 that's why she gets motivated to pursue her singing career omg we're all so proud of you,💘🥰!!!
Quite a few in Singapore today. That because Taylor told the audience here that Marjorie had lived in Singapore for some years in the late 60's. The locals have just realised that the vintage footage in this video was shot in Singapore.
In her 14 years of career, she experimented and tested her limits. She reinvented herself with each album. Made her album more like an era. She stepped into 3 different genres- country, pop and now alternative. Taking such big risks fearlessly and making masterpieces. I dont find any reason to not stan her! Its a bliss to be born in the same era as Taylor and listen her music. Stan her forever cause i'm a swiftie for evermore.
hearing marjorie’s voice at the very end of the song after taylor sings “but you’re still around” gives me CHILLS. it’s such a genius thing to put in a song like this.
Taylor's songs for her family ''The best days'' ''Soon you will get better'' ''Epiphany'' ''Marjorie'' ''Never grow up''' ''I'm only me when I'm with you''

@@brookerobb4960 I wouldn't know how that feels at all but the line resonates with me as my grandfather passed away unexpectedly but all love and power to you ❤ they'll always be there They always are
Praying for you Brooke ❤️ she will always be with you and will be waiting for you. It won’t be easy but you will get through it and there will be a time you smile when you think of her instead of pain
I really don't know how else to explain it, but evermore just has this luring magic to it. The entire album just seems so comforting, like a warm hug, like folklore's older sister. The songs feel like they have existed forever and somewhere throughout my life, I have heard them but they just needed to be discovered again.
That feeling is so true. All the songs seemed unheard, but still seemed like they were always a part of my life and the past, like a folk song or story.
You put into words everything I felt when this album was released. It doesnt even sound like just music for me, Evermore truly feels like a soundtrack, the soundtrack of our lives...
To all my camera shy, body conscious people, let this video be a reminder that life is short and memories are precious. Your loved ones, your future children and grandchildren will not even notice the flaws you’re so concerned about. They’ll notice your smile and your eyes, your grace and your mannerisms. Don’t deprive yourself and them of priceless memories. Imagine if Majorie had shy away from the camera. Your life deserves to be documented, you deserve to be cherished forever.
“ *My mom found a bunch of her old records, of her singing opera, and I sent them to Aaron and he added them to the song. It says ‘if I didn’t know better, I’d think you were singing to me now’ and then you hear her, you hear Marjorie actually sing* ” - Taylor
In the lyric “if I didn’t know better I’d think you’d be singing to me now” after that is actually her grandmother singing they put the track in and I think it is so coool! 3:17
You can hear some opera vocals in the background(probably her) when she says "if I didn'tknow better, I'd think you're singing to me now"at 3 16, genius ❤
i think aging is one of the scariest things. i find it so emotional watching people’s photo throughout their life, from young to old. i don’t know how to explain it, but can anyone relate?
My grandma passed two days ago, and today I literally did find a grocery store receipt… even better it was tucked in an envelope she had scrawled a frosting recipe on. Not a signature, but her handwriting 💜
Your grandmother is watching over you. You may not know it but she is so very happy up there and watching you having the most amazing life I know she is probably so proud of you. ❤
My grandma's last Christmas I got her a journal I very boring gift but I was 16 and didn't realize what id lose that next year. But when I finally went through her stuff. She wrote me a thank you note on the inner corner of the inside and I cried so hard reading her journal. I have her favorite blanket and what she passed using today 6 years ago she passed currently crying my eyes out because I'm 2 kids later and I wish everyday she could of stayed just a little longer 😢❤
To make you love this song even more, Taylor said in her interview with Zane Lowe that her grandmother’s opera vocals were included in this song. Right after she sings “I’d think you were singing to me now” you can hear a quick snippet of her grandmother singing opera. And you can also hear her at the end of the song, the outro is her grandmother if you listen closely.
@Ben Oltmanns you must have some deaf ears , taylor's live performance are brilliantly on point like wildest dreams live at grammy museum, cornelia street lover fest, betty live CMA.
@Ben Oltmanns I don't agree with you ... She didn't have a performance out of tune.She gave her best, she gave us an album and saying that kind of thing is rude.
“should’ve kept every grocery store receipt, cause every scrap of you would be taken from me” has to be one of the most gut wrenching lyrics i’ve ever heard.
my grandma passed away today, and in the way to her house I was listening to evermore... when marjorie started playing I cried a lot... this song definitely has a new meaning for me now.
@@liberatedlezzy3859 Even if you only listen to her radio hits it doesn't make sense because Blank Space, Shake it off, Bad Blood, lwymmd, 22 (her biggest hits) aren't about boyfriends
The way Grandma looked at baby Taylor when she was playing with the Piano 🥹❤️She loved her so much and gave her so much love and attention. This is the most beautiful tribute ever.
TAYLOR SWIFT IS A GENIUS. marjorie is the 13th song of evermore and she dedicated it for her late grandmother. epiphany is the 13th song of folklore and she dedicated it for her late grandfather.
WHEN SHE SAYS "IF I DIDN'T KNOW BETTER I'D THINK YOU WERE SINGIN TO ME NOW" SHE PLAYS OLD RECORDINGS OF MARJORIE SINGING OPERA!!!!!!!!! TAYLOR IS INCREDIBLE
គួរឱ្យរំភើបណាស់ "ទិន្ឋភាពរបស់គាត់ គឺនៅក្នុងការចង់ចាំរបស់អ្នកជានិច្ច" នេះជាហេតុផលមួយមិនសាបសូន្យ។❤ Exciting "his picture is always in your memory" is one reason not to lose.
What is so *impressive* about Taylor's last two albums to me is how all the *songs are so similar* in style yet *all sound different.* Every song sounds *new but fits the theme. How does she do it?*
Lost my grandmother in October, and that line “I should have asked you questions, I should have asked you how to be, should’ve had you write it down for me.” It breaks me Every. Single. Time.
I feel it. I lost mine in May and the pre-chorus hit me like a truck the first time I listened to the album. I sat there with my hand over my mouth just sobbing like a baby and trying to hide the noise from everyone else in the house.
That's so memorable and a great bond between grand mother and grand daughter. In Cambodia there is a slogan said, Mother love daughter more and grand mother love their grand daughter the most. "ស្រឡាញ់កូនមួយតៅ ស្រឡាញ់ចៅមួយថាំង".
The resemblance between Taylor and her grandmother is so beautiful! It's subtle, but looking at photographs of Marjorie, you can definitely see some of those features that Taylor's inherited. What a gorgeous song.
Such a beautiful tribute. I lost my grandmother when I was 14 and I also wish I could have adult conversations with her. She and I were the sensitive ones in the family.
I can see Marjorie in Taylor, they both have such timeless beauty and grace. Without a doubt she would of been so proud of her little granddaughter not knowing that she would soon become one of the most Successful artists of her time. However I am certain to her she would of always been Taylor. Rest in peace Marjorie
No one talks about the lyric “all your closets of backlogged dreams and how you left them all to me” Her grandma wanted to be a famous singer but never made it then Taylor did 😭😭
To my knowledge, her grandmother was a famous opera singer, if you hear closely at 3:18 you can hear her and she credits Marjorie finlay as a backing singer at the end of the video
we’re all so proud of our queen 😊 the type of music from folklore and evermore is truly my kind of songs. 😌😌 love her so much ! 💜 btw i make videos on films! i recently made one on ‘Her’ and ‘Queens Gambit’! if you’re interested, please check it out! heart ❤️
This song wrecks me fully. Cried every single time I've heard it. I think most of us grapple with this sense of regret at not having spent enough time with our late grandparents and to have that heartbreaking a feeling be sung to us in such a beautiful way- Taylor Swift is the gift that keeps on giving. Evermore. :)
I admit that I've not paid much attention to Taylor Swift ... but hearing this, and seeing the acknowledgements at the end so prominently, my ear is better tuned to her.
My grandmas name was Marjorie and she was my EVERYTHING..... she was my mom and my best friend and she was taken from me in 2014 and the words to this song hit so close to home for me I cry everyone I hear it :'(
@lis te that balance - and the ability to hold space for the whole - is what seems to be missing right now. That's what this lovely song represents to me.
@lis te well said! that duality she posits in those lines really drew me into this song ❤️ love her so much! btw i make videos on films! i recently made one on ‘Her’ and ‘Queens Gambit’! if you’re interested, please check it out! heart ❤️
My mother's name was Marjorie. She left this world almost eight years ago, now. I still miss her and long for her every single day. She's alive in my head, too. 💔
Fun fact: the sounds after she says "i'd think you were singing to me now" is actually her grandmothers vocals! Thats why she is listed as the back up singer 🥺 this has to be one of my favorite taylor songs. So touching.
The most heartbreaking bridge she's ever written. I thought the more I listened to it, the less hurt I would feel. But I was wrong. "Cause every scrap of you would be taken from me" Oh Taylor.. you know how to make us cry. Thank you for this masterpiece.
When I first listened to this song, I didn’t realize it was about her grandma. But several months ago my friend, who is also a Swiftie, told me. This song has hit differently ever since. May your grandma rest in piece.
*Difference* Marjorie: About her grandmother Epiphany: About her grandfather. *Similarity* •These songs are too emotional to cry. •These are the 13th tracks in their respective album.
I saw in one of her interviews that the sound of the opera vocals at 3:48 is actually her grandmother's 🥺 it's also written in the credits. I didn't notice this before. So haunting and beautiful
Marjorie was Taylor’s grandmother, who was an opera singer / actor, who passed sadly while Taylor was still young. Hope this helped ❤ 2:35 Am I the only one who noticed the resemblance?
“Never be so kind, you forget to be clever" "Never be so clever, you forget to be kind" "Never be so polite, you forget your power" "Never wield such power, you forget to be polite" Words once heard, you can never unhear. These words will stay with me forever. iA
I feel so bad for taylor every time she cries during Marjorie, she lost her grandmother so young, Marjorie would be SO proud of Taylor if she was still alive right now, this song is such a beautiful emotional song.
the fact that she used her grandma's voice for her back vocals i'm sobbing
How did she do that? Did she find old audio clips and match them to her own tone in this song? I’m confused 😭
@Sophia K Ohh yeah I hear it. Thanks!
I thought it was the part starting from 3:48 sounds like something from an opera
Is that her mom's mom or dad's mom?
@@octo.lina69 she’s her maternal grandmother
"Should've kept every grocery store receipt cause every scrap of you would be taken from me". That line cuts deep in the heart of every person who has lost a loved one. The most painful part of this life is the time we spend missing those who have left before us.
Sorry for bothering but I am not a native speaker so I didn't get what she is trying to say with the second part of this lyric can you please explain?

There are hundreds of questions I would ask her, if I could go back there now. Hundreds.

This lyric hits me hard because my grandparents owned a small grocery store when I was a child. So much I wish I could’ve asked my grandma
She is actually sing about how she can bring it all to life without been lost from the lights Taylor is so smart it so much more
imagine how her mom feels. She must feel so proud of her daughter
Yess🥺
It's her grandmother not mom
@@shivammishra-ic4ou It means that Andrea (Taylor's mom) is proud that Taylor remembers her grandmother that way.

TRUUE . HER PARENTS, HER GRAND PARENTS ❤
Hearing her grandmother’s vocals echoing throughout the entire stadium during this song live was the most beautiful thing I’ve experienced in years.
Marjorie forgot to disappeared
Where did you see it? Inglewood CA?
I agree, so beautiful.
This is one of the most emotional and powerful songs ever written.
For real though I literally can’t sing the bridge because I choke up every single time lol.

Her personality, her songs, her voice, her albums, her Easter eggs, what she fights for is what makes her my favorite artist of all time.
@Ben Oltmanns what are you trying to accomplish?
@Ben Oltmanns you must have some deaf ears , taylor's live performance are brilliantly on point like wildest dreams live at grammy museum, cornelia street lover fest, betty live CMA.
@Ben Oltmanns RIGHT hwjjqkkqkkananj
And will be forever
@Ben Oltmanns I don't agree with you ... She didn't have a performance out of tune.She gave her best, she gave us an album and saying that kind of thing is rude.
"you're alive in my head"
Now Marjorie is alive in anyone's head after listen to this song
lol literally😅
i often think of her since😅
true
I'm alive not only in my head🤷🏼♀️
she eternized her grandma
especially how her vocals were in the song
The part where you can hear her grandmother always hits hard.
“should’ve kept every grocery store receipt, cause every scrap of you would be taken from me” has to be one of the most gut wrenching lyrics i’ve ever heard.
Par for the course for this legendary songwriter.
Hands down my favorite
Hi
The bridge of this song is hauntingly beaufiful
pls- that made me cry
I like how epiphany was a tribute to her grandfather and this is a tribute to her grandmother

And people say that Taylor Swift only sings songs about boys and love. Have they listened to this? It's so meaningful, beautiful, and captivating.
True.
@@ATWTMVTVFTVSGAVRALPS This is what I call musi.
People who only listen to her radio songs say that
I mean this is still about love, just a different kind.
@@liberatedlezzy3859 Even if you only listen to her radio hits it doesn't make sense because Blank Space, Shake it off, Bad Blood, lwymmd, 22 (her biggest hits) aren't about boyfriends
Taylor's grandmother would be so proud of her today.
she is proud of her just like all of us are
I miss my grandma
I am so glad I still have my grandmother and I love her very much
I just lost my grandmother 18 day ago
🥺❤️
The way Grandma looked at baby Taylor when she was playing with the Piano 🥹❤️She loved her so much and gave her so much love and attention. This is the most beautiful tribute ever.
TAYLOR SWIFT IS A GENIUS.
marjorie is the 13th song of evermore and she dedicated it for her late grandmother.

Amazing that have vdo in Cambodia that have more temples should visits
What is so *impressive* about Taylor's last two albums to me is how all the *songs are so similar* in style yet *all sound different.* Every song sounds *new but fits the theme. How does she do it?*
aaron dessner
I feel the same
But it’s the same even with her past albums?? 🤧
This is exactly what i was telling my friend. The songs are consistent in theme, but SO unique.
Lost my grandmother in October, and that line “I should have asked you questions, I should have asked you how to be, should’ve had you write it down for me.” It breaks me Every. Single. Time.
I lost mine in October as well. The bridge hits so hard.
Lost mine October 1st too... This song caught me by surprise and made me SO emotional.
I lost both my parents years ago and I still don't make it passed the bridge without tearing up a bit...
I feel it. I lost mine in May and the pre-chorus hit me like a truck the first time I listened to the album. I sat there with my hand over my mouth just sobbing like a baby and trying to hide the noise from everyone else in the house.
That line broke me too. I was okay until then.

What a masterpiece. Taylor really did the greatest tribute to her grandmother in Evermore and grandfather in Folklore
Which song was for her grandfather?
@@chloed3630 epiphany
@@chloed3630 ephiphany! It was about her grandfather in the military and a parallel to the doctors in this pandemic! 😃
That's so memorable and a great bond between grand mother and grand daughter. In Cambodia there is a slogan said, Mother love daughter more and grand mother love their grand daughter the most. "ស្រឡាញ់កូនមួយតៅ ស្រឡាញ់ចៅមួយថាំង".
This is so sweet, she was Taylor's inspiration for pursuing music. Her grandmother would be so proud of her granddaughter right now.
The resemblance between Taylor and her grandmother is so beautiful! It's subtle, but looking at photographs of Marjorie, you can definitely see some of those features that Taylor's inherited. What a gorgeous song.
3:12 "I'd think you were singing to me now"
backing vocals: Marjorie Finlay.
at that moment it gave me chills

THIS.
Never be so kind, you forget to be clever. - Taylor Swift. Hits home.
oh yes.
This happens to come just in time....
😭
😢
And for the intellects: Never be so clever, that you forget to be kind
Such a beautiful tribute. I lost my grandmother when I was 14 and I also wish I could have adult conversations with her. She and I were the sensitive ones in the family.
I can see Marjorie in Taylor, they both have such timeless beauty and grace. Without a doubt she would of been so proud of her little granddaughter not knowing that she would soon become one of the most Successful artists of her time. However I am certain to her she would of always been Taylor. Rest in peace Marjorie
@loonaticstan9537 YES!!!
Timeless is a song now💜💜💜😭😭😭
does she know about taylor if shes in heaven
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉😂🎉😢😅😅😮😮😮
Oh my goodness her grandmother was perfect in every way 😢 I wish I could just give Taylor a hug 🤗 and tell her you will see her again one day 💕
No one talks about the lyric “all your closets of backlogged dreams and how you left them all to me” Her grandma wanted to be a famous singer but never made it then Taylor did 😭😭
To my knowledge, her grandmother was a famous opera singer, if you hear closely at 3:18 you can hear her and she credits Marjorie finlay as a backing singer at the end of the video
She was pretty famous tho
I'm crying
her grandma was super famous
That lyric breaks my heart 💔💔
Marjorie was Taylor's grandmother, she was an opera singer
thanks for the info
thank u for letting us know!
in folklore she mentioned her grandfather...
This is probably her in the photo and videos to be honest so this is helpful info
Thanks. I didn't know that info. And I was puzzled
My Mom passed yesterday and your song is helping me keep my heart together. You and the power of Jesus. Thank you, Taylor. 🫶

literal poetry !!!!!!! she isn't a songwriter anymore, she's lady Shakespeare
No just no
@Ashwini Desai ( Sosa Lottii - Options ft Taylor Swift )
This song wrecks me fully. Cried every single time I've heard it. I think most of us grapple with this sense of regret at not having spent enough time with our late grandparents and to have that heartbreaking a feeling be sung to us in such a beautiful way- Taylor Swift is the gift that keeps on giving. Evermore. :)
@Quoyina Ghosh yes..this song is so powerful and nostalgic 💗
i can relate to this on so many levels, in fact i actually just finished crying
I lost my grandfather while i was abroad studying far from home :( this song hit me hard
I admit that I've not paid much attention to Taylor Swift ... but hearing this, and seeing the acknowledgements at the end so prominently, my ear is better tuned to her.
My grandmas name was Marjorie and she was my EVERYTHING..... she was my mom and my best friend and she was taken from me in 2014 and the words to this song hit so close to home for me I cry everyone I hear it :'(
Man hold on is all i can say
Cause this song just gets me emotional in s different way
Hold on tho 💙
💜
❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤 hold on tight to those memories
@KLGoodman no its abt Taylor's grandma Marjorie, she's the one in the vid
My Grandma was Marjorie too, i think they must a special kind of person.
"Never be so kind,you forget to be clever"
"Never be so polite,you forget your power"

@lis te that balance - and the ability to hold space for the whole - is what seems to be missing right now. That's what this lovely song represents to me.

Rest in peace to you’re mother stay strong she is in a better place now i love you🥰❤️
Stay strong love❤️😔
your comment made me cry...
she’s watching over you❤️❤️❤️
My heart breaks for you
Fun fact: the sounds after she says "i'd think you were singing to me now" is actually her grandmothers vocals! Thats why she is listed as the back up singer 🥺 this has to be one of my favorite taylor songs. So touching.
Taylor's family surely knows how to capture beautiful memories cause they know they will be iconic later!
The most heartbreaking bridge she's ever written.
I thought the more I listened to it, the less hurt I would feel. But I was wrong.
"Cause every scrap of you would be taken from me"
Oh Taylor.. you know how to make us cry.
Thank you for this masterpiece.
What do you think she means with "every scrap of you would be taken from me"? Is there something beyond her passing?
The bridge is what really breaks me
I'm not crying, you are
Yup, I sure am..😭
Same
You’re damn right.
yeah i’m not crying, i’m breaking down
yes i am
When I first listened to this song, I didn’t realize it was about her grandma. But several months ago my friend, who is also a Swiftie, told me. This song has hit differently ever since. May your grandma rest in piece.
*Difference*
Marjorie: About her grandmother
Epiphany: About her grandfather.
*Similarity*
•These songs are too emotional to cry.
•These are the 13th tracks in their respective album.
Similarity: Both are 13th track in their respective albums......

I saw in one of her interviews that the sound of the opera vocals at 3:48 is actually her grandmother's 🥺 it's also written in the credits. I didn't notice this before. So haunting and beautiful
and 3:15

And now I'm crying 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💞
Yes 😢her grandma wanted to make it as a singer and now she is being heard through Taylor’s song 😢❤

Marjorie was Taylor’s grandmother, who was an opera singer / actor, who passed sadly while Taylor was still young.
Hope this helped ❤ 2:35

“Never be so kind, you forget to be clever"
"Never be so clever, you forget to be kind"
"Never be so polite, you forget your power"
