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.
And the fact she invites fans at her house , play them new albums before their release , bakes stuff for them , and have convos , have fun . She's so down to earth despite being the biggest musician in the world
*other artists* : i wanna live a private life *taylor alison swift* : I want auroras and sad prose I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet 'Cause I haven't moved in years And I want you right here A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground With no one around to tweet it While I bathe in cliffside pools With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief
@@nahuelconstantine The song is about the Lake District in England and Taylor is celebrating why many of the great poets went there (Wordsworth, Coleridge, Ruskin etc). I think that's why people are referring to "poetry" a lot.
she’s directly referencing william wordsworth. he’s a romantic poet, and there’s a lot of references to his depictions of nature + a romantic outlook in this song. i wonder if he’s one of her favorite poets? it’d make sense.. i feel like taylor loves his imagery
Taylor's touched on everything in this song "Is it romantic how all my elogies eulogize me?" - People saying "she bashes her exes in breakup songs all the time!" "I'm not cut out for all these cynical clones, these hunters with cellphones" - Addressing the Kimye feud/general haters on the internet "I've come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze tell me what are my words' worth" - The "worth" of her records before Lover that got owned by Scott and Scooter resulting in a feud "A red rose grew/ with no one around to tweet it" - Her privacy, and the fact that her personal life is not "up for discussion" means it's all going so well because it's away from the public eye Wow, Taylor, wow 👏
While I agree with you I think the "words worth" line is both what you said and a reference to William Wordsworth a poet who lived in the lake district in England which this song is about, she has away of hiding Easter eggs within beautiful lyrics
I used to think Taylor Swift was overrated and never really checked out her works. This is my strongest regret how did I miss out from listening these masterpieces A lyrical genius literally
You are funny fanatics using the word genius to describe an average overrated pop singer. Let's reserve the term genius for true geniuses like Lennon and Dylan OK?
@@thegoughandbordenfamily8234 "Taylor Swift received the Songwriter-Artist of the Decade award at the during the annual Nashville Songwriters award on Tuesday. The star-studded ceremony was held at the Ryman Auditorium in Tennessee on September 20, 2022" You were saying?
As a huge fan of Aaron Dessner of "The National" I had been hearing about Taylor Swift's "Folklore" album for a little while but I had not taken the time to listen to it in its entirety. Just listened to the whole 16 songs and had a great time so I shall buy it. Not having been a long term fan of Taylor I don't have anything to compare this album with. However, I really enjoyed a great many of the tracks. Great lyrics, especially "Peace", "Invisible String", "August" and "Illicit Affairs". Aaron Dessner's fingerprints are all over this album and the tracks he co-wrote can largely be distinguished from those that were written with Jack Antonoff and Justin Vernon. Aaron's influence is particularly noticeable on "The 1", "Cardigan", "Seven", "Hoax", "Invisible String", "Mad Woman" and "Epiphany". You can often hear his influence in just a few keyboard notes. Just listen to "Light Years" the final track of The National's latest album "I Am Easy to Find" and you will hear what I mean. I also loved the Taylor /Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) duet "Exile" track too.The National's trumpet player Kyle Resnick also features on this album as does Aaron's twin brother Bryce. The icing on the cake for me is "The Lakes" bonus track which is written about the Lake District in north west England. It mentions the Romantic Movement poets (Wordsworth, Coleridge) as well as lake Windermere. Such a clever use of Wordsworth as a homograph of "words worth" too. The Lake District is a place that holds many happy memories for me as I used to climb its hills in my teenage years eating Kendal mint cake. Thanks for this wonderful album.
@@taylorswift7673 Huge thanks to you too. Writing my comment was fun and gave me the opportunity to sing the praises of musical collaboration which is so well demonstrated by your wonderful album. It has been a delight to discover your music in this way. Thanks again and I look forward to hearing your future work.
"Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me" *Elegies*- sorrowful poems/ speech (in her case, her songs) *Eulogize*- praise someone in a speech or writing Meaning of this entire line- She is saying, isn't it beautiful how all her sad songs (about her and for her) end up embracing who she actually is.
Wow that’s absolutely gorgeous... One thing about Taylor is she has always known how to write such wonderful sad songs. Tied together with a Smile, Teardrops on my Guitar, All too Well.
With this song, Taylor has created a mythical realm of melancholy. We all now have some idealized image of "The Lakes" in our minds. We long to go there, wading through flowers and grass up to our knees under a high sun, caressed by a light breeze, bringing the scent of lilacs and memories of a distant love...almost out of reach.
I'm amazed by how detailed your explanation was. You do have that imagination we all would love to have. And, most importantly, you know how to translate that into words. Amazing
This song sounds old. Gives me a feeling of old times, when everything was simple. Maybe going out and buying the record of the song. Playing it while you sit in the chair outside your porch enjoying a nice cup of tea and something to eat. Lovely weather by your side, to make you feel comfortable while you listen to this melodious tune. :')
Anyone else catch the play on “words worth”? Wordsworth is probably the most famous Romantic poet, and largely responsible for shifting the focus of poetry on the self and personal experience, something by which Swift & her music certainly are influenced.
Wordsworth was also born in Cockermouth on the edge of the Lake District and later lived in the Lake District which is the area of England this song is about.
He also lived in and was very inspired by the Lake District, mentions of which show up in his work often. He lived in Grasmere and currently there is an excellent Wordsworth museum there.
The fact that Taylor isn’t even promoting her album and is more bothered about spreading awareness of important things just gives us another reason to love her so much 😭💖
Did u notice the W was in caps in “Wordsworth”....she’s referencing to William Wordsworth, a true nature poet. He is also known as a lake poet... Taylor Swift is a genius!!!
I studied Wordsworth doing my English major 40 years ago, and I never till now realized you could make it quite the play on words the way Swift has and make it another great piece of musical art. Brilliant mind at work here. Love it!
Folklore made me feel like i was in a countryside living in a vintage house with beautiful flowers with butterflies dancing around as the warm glow of the sun spluttered on the land
folklore reminds me of Rhode island at the beach where her house is and just like summer but not like bright sunny summer for me its like how the beach is in the morning when the sky is overcast and its windy, people say its like a winter album but for me its my summer album because it reminds me of my summers that ive spent in rhode island and in mystic conneticut with my mimi and my family
I was actually in the Lake District a couple weeks ago and got to listen to the folklore album for the first time whilst on Lake Windermere! It was totally surreal..but I've never seen Tay in concert before😪
Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me? I'm not cut out for all these cynical clones These hunters with cell phones Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die I don't belong, and my beloved, neither do you Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry I'm setting off, but not without my muse What should be over burrowed under my skin In heart-stopping waves of hurt I've come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze Tell me what are my words worth Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die I don't belong, and my beloved, neither do you Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry I'm setting off, but not without my muse I want auroras and sad prose I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet 'Cause I haven't moved in years And I want you right here A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground With no one around to tweet it While I bathe in cliffside pools With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die I don't belong, and my beloved, neither do you Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry I'm setting off, but not without my muse No, not without you
This is not just an album, it’s her best art work yet. She opened up about her feelings while delivering exquisite vocals and profound lyrics. Folklore is a masterpiece.
@Bread Sandwich 😂😂😂😂😂 Love it when kids try to make a point with an emoji. Go do your homework. Maybe then you'll learn that tastes are like butts. To each their own 😁
@@cahya5747 Calamitous often means "destructive," but in this case it is exaggeration. Insurmountable means, to my knowledge, "overwhelming," or "too much to deal with"
why is this song a bonus track when it's literally the most beautiful one on the entire album?? :( I cry everytime with "i want autoras and sad prose..."
it’s special . it’s a bonus track made just for us listeners, taylor decided to gift us with the most beautiful bonus track instead of letting it be overplayed like the songs on the main album
I absolutely love this song, but I’m still a bit iffy on that line. For some reason it sounds pretentious and something else that I can quite put my finger on (edit to add: it just doesn't ring true). I do, however, love the next line: “I want watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet ‘cause I haven’t moved in years.” Absolutely beautiful.
@@IndieCindy3 I personally like that line because I think "auroras" represent beauty, and it pairs nicely with "calamitous love," meanwhile sad prose represents her feelings spoken into words and pairs nicely with the "insurmountable grief" that she feels🌹 They say the most beautiful art comes from those who have gone through the most painful circumstances
English major here, and when she says, “tell me what are my words worth,” she’s also referencing the Romantic poet William Wordsworth, who lived in the Lake District (the place she in singing about). He celebrated the Lake District in his poetry. I assume he’s one of the “poets” to whom she is referring, as well. Taylor is a genius!
Hey!! Since your an english major, what are your thoughts about the whole "I want auroras and sad prose, I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet, cause i havent moved in years, and I want you right here"? I really love that verse
the literature nerds really enjoyed this album didn't they edit: love to all of you literature nerds, I loved english and wanted to major in English literature but my parents didn't allow that, still I love this album and evermore with all my heart
literally during the poetry section of my world lot class when my professor asked everyone which artist we thought wrote their songs like poetry nearly everyone said taylor swift
This is what we call "Artist", she doesnt need to wait someone who would write songs for her, she doesnt need to bother her producer to get someone write special songs for her like others celebrities/singers. No...Taylor doesnt need at all why?? Coz she can writes million songs from her beautiful mind, from her fantasy !
Auroras are the lights in the sky caused by solar radiation that occur at the poles, they very mystical, rare, and beautiful. Sad prose is just another way to say sad writing or a sad story. So she’s basically talking about wanting to feel melancholy and mystical in a way
That whole section from “auroras and sad prose” to “I bathed in cliff side pools with my calamitous love and insurmountable grief” made me so emotional 😭
The Lakes has some of the most beautiful lyrics I’ve ever heard in it. I mean, the way the line “I want to watch wisteria grow right under my bare feet cause I haven’t moved in years” makes me feel is incredible ❤
You should come to the Lakes (they're in Cumbria, Northwest England), you'll get to see the Wisteria and all the Great Poet's houses and the beautiful Lakes themselves. Taylor's lyrics really do ring true, it's very beautiful and calm here.
Taylor did say that if she did not become a singer, she would have been an English teacher and that's why I'm not surprised with how broad her vocabulary is. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@aaliyahfoster2705 Yeah and then she was asked something along the lines of "If you were a teacher, what subject would you choose?", to which she replied saying that she would teach English!! (Hopefully I remember correctly XD)
@@andypark4431 I live in the Lake District, too. For those who don't know it well, find some images of "Lake District, England" and you'll see how beautiful it really is.
We will remember how Taylor released the whole album in 2020 on youtube for those fans who couldn't buy her album during a pandemic. How beautiful ✨ Omg thank you so much guys for so many likes 🥺♥
"A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground with no one around to tweet it." Taylor making us remember that we can appreciate/enjoy the beauty without spreading it all around social media.
She also mentioned something about that in one of the diary entries she shared with us, saying she was worried that everyone felt the need to post every little thing.
she's the embodiment of what a writer should be, each and every lyric is written beautifully and it holds a wide range of interpretation and hidden meanings.
I just love how Taylor just said that she want to spend the rest of her life somewhere private with her lover in a very interesting, beautiful and ethereal choice of words, melody and imagery.
Yup... I really love how the lyrics paint that picture. My favourite imagery from this song would have to be how she described the paparazzi as "hunters with cellphones" and the lake being a metaphor for a private haven away from their prying eyes, where she and her lover can give birth to a red rose or drown in pools of grief without anyone to gossip about them
Stephanie Anne me as well. “I want auroras and sad prose I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet 'Cause I haven't moved in years” this hits me hard.
I've been taking some classes on English literature and we recently studied the romanticism movement. Girl, you had all the references in this song. You make me love you more every day. The songwriter of our generation.
I have no words. Taylor Swift really has outdone herself in every possible way with “folklore” and this exquisite song is the cherry on top. The whole album feels like having an intimate conversation with a long lost friend and everything is warm and bearable for a brief moment.
you guys notice how Invisible String foreshadows " The Lakes " with the line "Bold was the waittress on our three year trip getting lunch down by The Lakes" ... I just caught that
Here's my opinion : This track solidifies to the rest of the world what true Swifties have known for years, she is more than a singer shifting through genres , a chart topping name or a record breaking artist etc, she is a true writer /poet / storyteller. Her works might be shared to us through the popular medium of music but her words and stories create true timeless literature. Also I love that this is the closing track to Folklore because after her mourning the loss of her "stolen lullabies", she realizes her past repertoire could never truly be owned by anyone else regardless of how much money they throw at it, purely because she created for the art of creating and that in itself is priceless.
I live in England but My mums from Scotland so everytime I go up there and pass the signs directing towards the lakes district I start yelling the chorus
The 5 most searched words today: - elegies. n. a poem of serious reflection - eulogize. v. praise highly in speech or writing - cynical. adj. self-involved, motivated by self-interest - wisteria. n. a climbing shrub... - calamitous. adj. involving calamity; catastrophic or disastrous also bonus if you haven't already look up "Wordsworth" do it! cause honestly genius! (I first thought it was "what are my Word's Worth" and yes it sounds like it but it is so much more than that!
@@susierose7152 shit I didnt know what eulogize meant and my phone wants to spell it as eulogies. I'm terrible with words so Taylor helps me with my vocabulary.
I feel like this is the perfect ending for the album. The hoax was more of a cliffhanger, which makes me want more. This song is like the cherry on the top, it gives us a different sound and at the same time a hopeful message. Which is normally how she ends her albums. Lyrical masterpiece!!
*Taylor Swift* & *Selena Gomez* is my inspiration!! *Begging you* please listen my song!! *Literally begging you* please listen my song!! And help me to reach my dreams!!
this is one of my fav songs in Folklore. I can say that it is also a very underrated one. “A Red Rose grew up on some ice frozen ground, with no one around to tweet it” That line claimed that she used to be so present in socmed, tweeting posts and beautiful moments. But in that scenario, she’s living in the moment and just lets her eyes witness that beautiful moment. It also means that she just wants to run away from the life she has here with her muse and just cry out on the windermere peaks as she refers to it as the perfect place to cry. She wants to run away, but she can never escape the life she has here. It will always haunt her because she is Taylor Swift. Despite not being famous, I love how people can relate to this song, including me. The thought that you want to run away from all those things that is bothering you and that our social batteries can be drained too. The song speaks for ourselves. Sometimes, we just want to let it all out and escape social media and everything. She is truly a genius and can make our vocabulary broad than what the school does /j.
Reminds me of the line in Call It What You Want "I recall late November, holding my breath slowly I said, "You don't need to save me but would you run away with me?"
1. Taylor Swift - The Country Girl 2. Fearless - The Princess 3. Speak Now - The Teenage Girl 4. Red - A Woman In Love 5. 1989 - The Party Girl 6. Reputation - Bad Girl 7. Lover - The Lover 8. Folklore - A Wise Woman
This new album is perfection. It resembles the genuine purity of her first album, the classic magic of Fearless, the meaningful depth of Speak Now, the struggle of discovering self-identity in Red, the excitement of 1989, the bite of Reputation, and the endearing playfulness of Lover. What a cumulative masterpiece of the nuances of life, love, and feeling. Taylor, thank you for making me feel so alive through your music as a vessel of your wonderful existence.
SAD FACT: I haven't heard this song before Coz i m such an ignorant until a couple minutes ago I listen to the original version Because she posted it on her social media. And now i can proudly say that this is my all time favorit song on folklore 🥺
I've been listening for the first time this song out in Spotify, but the originally version make me more love this song.. Makin jatuh dengan Taylor Swift, selalu ngasih sesuatu yg sangat indah.
So glad you found it, better late than ever! It's also one of my favorites from folklore. I just covered it on my channel if you want to give it a listen :)
the lakes is definitely one of the most beautiful songs Taylor Swift has ever written. folklore is definitely one of my absolute favourite albums Taylor has ever done. folklore really show cases the struggles she has gone through in life while show casing it in such a beautiful and unique way. the whole album really showcases who she really is as a true artist, and i am extremely proud of how far Tay tay has come. i love you so much. keep on going, because you are doing absolutely AMAZING!!!❤️
I'm so *impressed* by Taylor's ability to keep all the *songs similar* in style yet *sound different* for two albums. Every song sounds new but fits the theme. *How does she do it?*
This album makes me feel like im living in an old abandoned mansion with a huge library ,large paintings in the living room and a fountain in the backyard
1:20 look how words worth is written like Wordsworth if you search that: Noun. 1. Wordsworth - a romantic English poet whose work was inspired by the Lake District where he spent most of his life (1770-1850) William Wordsworth. lake poets - English poets at the beginning of the 19th century who lived in the Lake District and were inspired by it. SHE IS A GENIUS
The lakes is such an inspiration for me, it makes me wanna search for beautiful and lesser known words and just write poems. It inspires me to think creative and write something with depth. Duh, i love this song sm !!!!
That's my fave part. I loved that bridge. It's peaceful, sad, and sounded bittersweet. But there was as an underlying happiness under that melody. It's just enchanting, I can't quite explain the feeling into my own words.
This song is perfect for midnight out. Imagine you're on a beach at night slowly walking down the isle while you're on your headphones/airpods and 'the lakes' is on play. Plus, walking with your special someone.
I Dont Understand How People Can Hate Her.. She Is Such An Amazing Person... She Went Through So Much And Look At Her Now... She Is So Successful.. And She Never Changed The Way She Is You Know... Im So Glad Im A Swifti... She Inspires Me Everyday... Love Taylor... Thank You For All You Do❤️
The beginning of 'the lakes' makes me feel like walking in a field of beautiful flowers. In the chorus I feel like having a picnic alone by a lake in a sunny day under a tree a looking at a picture of someone else. The bridge makes me feel like the sunny day turns into a snowy weather.
did anyone notice how in hoax, she says stood on the cliffside screaming give me a reason, and in the lakes, she says i bathe in cliffside pools with my calamitous love and insurmountable grief to jump off the cliff, whatever it takes
Everything about this song is incredible. The fact that it is put last on the album brings the perfect closure, both musically and lyrically. The beauty of each word used. The history and research behind. I'm listening to this masterpiece and i can't believe it's real.
I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company: I gazed-and gazed-but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils. William Wordsworth
This is it, kids. This is the song that perfectly encapsulates Taylor's maturity as a songwriter/lyricist as well as both her vulnerability and strength as a person. Absolutely perfect song.
*Taylor Swift* & *Selena Gomez* is my inspiration!! *Begging you* please listen my song!! *Literally begging you* please listen my song!! And help me to reach my dreams!!
I should say one thing, I really really want to thank Taylor for increasing my vocabulary along with teaching me the best way to write songs. Taylor is an excellent teacher who can teach you everything in the most musical way. I can't express the feeling thay I have right now.
When Taylor says 'I want to watch wisteria grow' Wisteria is a vine/shrub it symbolises immortality,love,bliss, tenderness sensuality, expanding consciousness...and she says she hasn't moved in years and she wants it to grow under her feet.. as in the place she currently stays that is where she lives in..in the limelight under the horrible world and the internet. She hopes for kindness among the people of the internet era I love her so much..I hope our would becomes a better place.
Taylor swift is so amazing! My friend (not a swiftie) thought that Taylor swift only wrote pop songs (shake it off, blank space, we are never getting back together) until she heard this song and other folklore songs. She really does have every genre of music
This track is really a great ending to the album. It kinda summarizes the overall ambiance of the album. Very dreamy and evokes the emotion of a wishful thinking. I loved it
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.
Beautiful comment. I stan you!
Hip hop too.
Ugh her mind. I just love her
❤❤❤
And the fact she invites fans at her house , play them new albums before their release , bakes stuff for them , and have convos , have fun . She's so down to earth despite being the biggest musician in the world

"Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me"
*Elegies*- sorrowful poems/ speech (in her case, her songs)
*Eulogize*- praise someone in a speech or writing
Meaning of this entire line- She is saying, isn't it beautiful how all her sad songs (about her and for her) end up embracing who she actually is.
Wow that’s absolutely gorgeous... One thing about Taylor is she has always known how to write such wonderful sad songs. Tied together with a Smile, Teardrops on my Guitar, All too Well.
Now that's enlightening
imagine a bee king 👑
Damn, that's deep
My mom said if my last song will get 5.000 Iikes, she will buy me a new microphone, I really need that microphone
With this song, Taylor has created a mythical realm of melancholy. We all now have some idealized image of "The Lakes" in our minds. We long to go there, wading through flowers and grass up to our knees under a high sun, caressed by a light breeze, bringing the scent of lilacs and memories of a distant love...almost out of reach.

This song sounds old. Gives me a feeling of old times, when everything was simple. Maybe going out and buying the record of the song. Playing it while you sit in the chair outside your porch enjoying a nice cup of tea and something to eat. Lovely weather by your side, to make you feel comfortable while you listen to this melodious tune. :')
This song feels like bridgeton and pride and prejudice tbh
oh my..you describe it so perfectly
Anyone else catch the play on “words worth”?
Wordsworth is probably the most famous Romantic poet, and largely responsible for shifting the focus of poetry on the self and personal experience, something by which Swift & her music certainly are influenced.
Wow I had no idea, but now I'm definitely gonna check it, thanks!
I'm glad someone else caught that❤
Wordsworth was also born in Cockermouth on the edge of the Lake District and later lived in the Lake District which is the area of England this song is about.
He also lived in and was very inspired by the Lake District, mentions of which show up in his work often. He lived in Grasmere and currently there is an excellent Wordsworth museum there.
That Wordsworth reference was so clever!
The fact that Taylor isn’t even promoting her album and is more bothered about spreading awareness of important things just gives us another reason to love her so much 😭💖
She puts on such a great show too....
Pls search for The Lakes but you're on Windermere Lakes and it's raining.
@Luscious Unicorn I saw it on television. :0
Too true
She doesnt need to promote shes already big
Did u notice the W was in caps in “Wordsworth”....she’s referencing to William Wordsworth, a true nature poet.
He is also known as a lake poet... Taylor Swift is a genius!!!
exactly!
Yes, and he is called a “Lake poet,” he lived in the Lake District in the northwest of England!
She mentioned Windermere too which is in the lake district!
we're all uncovering something here!!
I studied Wordsworth doing my English major 40 years ago, and I never till now realized you could make it quite the play on words the way Swift has and make it another great piece of musical art. Brilliant mind at work here. Love it!
Folklore made me feel like i was in a countryside living in a vintage house with beautiful flowers with butterflies dancing around as the warm glow of the sun spluttered on the land
That's the beautiful scenery this masterpiece of pure art conjures up
No wonder folklore is my top favorite album. The way you described it is exactly how I picture my dream life would be. 😭🤍
You defined everything at once
So true
folklore reminds me of Rhode island at the beach where her house is and just like summer but not like bright sunny summer for me its like how the beach is in the morning when the sky is overcast and its windy, people say its like a winter album but for me its my summer album because it reminds me of my summers that ive spent in rhode island and in mystic conneticut with my mimi and my family
Same ♥
taylor please be responsible for non existent heartbreaks that u give me
REVIIIIIIIL HAHAHAHAHAHA
😜😆
I can totally relate
omg we stan queens supporting fellow queens😩💙✨
😂😂😂😂😂
we demand you Taylor!
This song is the perfect conclusion to the album. Imagine it playing during the credits of an old film.
I was actually in the Lake District a couple weeks ago and got to listen to the folklore album for the first time whilst on Lake Windermere! It was totally surreal..but I've never seen Tay in concert before😪
Oh man, I wanna cry already. 😭
The way you spill made me wanna cry 😭
HEYYYY LET'S STREAMMM
Or the longest movie ever!!
She's not just a singer/writer she is also a poet and a story teller.
Little Cute Sky trueeee 😍
Has always been
True
Exactly, like everything in “Folklore” sounds so historical and touching.
Hey I made a rainy version of The Lakes in my channel
Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me?
I'm not cut out for all these cynical clones
These hunters with cell phones
Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die
I don't belong, and my beloved, neither do you
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
I'm setting off, but not without my muse
What should be over burrowed under my skin
In heart-stopping waves of hurt
I've come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze
Tell me what are my words worth
Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die
I don't belong, and my beloved, neither do you
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
I'm setting off, but not without my muse
I want auroras and sad prose
I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet
'Cause I haven't moved in years
And I want you right here
A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground
With no one around to tweet it
While I bathe in cliffside pools
With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief
Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die
I don't belong, and my beloved, neither do you
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
I'm setting off, but not without my muse
No, not without you
this whole album is so artistically written. it makes me want to escape reality by sitting in a meadow away from humanity.
Same
Legit
the funny thing is what you said is literally what taylor refers to in this song lol
@carmyn Monroe perfectly said...feeling this like now
That sounds like the place to be right now.
This is not just an album, it’s her best art work yet. She opened up about her feelings while delivering exquisite vocals and profound lyrics. Folklore is a masterpiece.
I agree!
Totally agree
@Olive The Main Pop Girl r
YEEEES! Her magnum opus.
@Bread Sandwich 😂😂😂😂😂 Love it when kids try to make a point with an emoji. Go do your homework. Maybe then you'll learn that tastes are like butts. To each their own 😁
I think Taylor Swift has redefined the definition of perfection with Folklore. It's a faultless piece of art and musical work.
and she did it all during quarantine...
Its not faultless or perfection but definitely her best work yet
Well said Leokimvideo!
I know this is your opinion, and I respect that
but you're wrong
100%, its so pure and lovely
taylor didn't write "while I bathe in cliffside pools with my calamitous love and insurmountable grief" for you to just sleep on the lakes.
Honestly!!!!!!
fr, this song is probably one of them most beautiful songs she's ever written
Tbf, I think this one is something she intended just for the fans. Normies can get fecked
What does it mean? Enlighten me, not a native speaker
@@cahya5747 Calamitous often means "destructive," but in this case it is exaggeration. Insurmountable means, to my knowledge, "overwhelming," or "too much to deal with"
why is this song a bonus track when it's literally the most beautiful one on the entire album?? :( I cry everytime with "i want autoras and sad prose..."
it’s special . it’s a bonus track made just for us listeners, taylor decided to gift us with the most beautiful bonus track instead of letting it be overplayed like the songs on the main album
Connie P.....you took the words out of my mouth
SAMEEE
I absolutely love this song, but I’m still a bit iffy on that line. For some reason it sounds pretentious and something else that I can quite put my finger on (edit to add: it just doesn't ring true). I do, however, love the next line: “I want watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet ‘cause I haven’t moved in years.” Absolutely beautiful.
@@IndieCindy3 I personally like that line because I think "auroras" represent beauty, and it pairs nicely with "calamitous love," meanwhile sad prose represents her feelings spoken into words and pairs nicely with the "insurmountable grief" that she feels🌹 They say the most beautiful art comes from those who have gone through the most painful circumstances
Best lyricist of her generation
That's quite a controversial and debatable topic you happened to bring up friend
@@brycehaden8274 shhh! Let people enjoy things ...
@noob I’m sorry but Taylor is so much better at writing than Lana , Lana is an amazing lyricist but Taylor is better
@noob lana is amazing overall, but if you just takes the lyrics Taylor's definitely better.
@noob samee
English major here, and when she says, “tell me what are my words worth,” she’s also referencing the Romantic poet William Wordsworth, who lived in the Lake District (the place she in singing about). He celebrated the Lake District in his poetry. I assume he’s one of the “poets” to whom she is referring, as well. Taylor is a genius!
Agreed
Fellow English major here, Sophie N . . . thanks for posting this so I didn't have to. :-)
Also an English Lit major, I love this song, the syntax is incredible.
Hey!! Since your an english major, what are your thoughts about the whole "I want auroras and sad prose, I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet, cause i havent moved in years, and I want you right here"? I really love that verse
Thank you for posting this! I didn’t know what she was referencing
the literature nerds really enjoyed this album didn't they
edit: love to all of you literature nerds, I loved english and wanted to major in English literature but my parents didn't allow that, still I love this album and evermore with all my heart
oh we loved it
Totally
Indeed
Thank you so much Taylor!!!
Yeah, we did.😊😆
My sister's boyfriend had this read as an example in his college english literature class. Not a lot of artists can say that they are THAT talented.
Hello super powers
literally during the poetry section of my world lot class when my professor asked everyone which artist we thought wrote their songs like poetry nearly everyone said taylor swift
@@kaleighm993 That's awesome lol
i wrote seven and champagne problems as an essay twice and got full A’s
@@IreonDeollim i don't even know you, but I feel so proud..
This is what we call "Artist", she doesnt need to wait someone who would write songs for her, she doesnt need to bother her producer to get someone write special songs for her like others celebrities/singers. No...Taylor doesnt need at all why?? Coz she can writes million songs from her beautiful mind, from her fantasy !
exactly!
Katy Perry eat your heart out. 🎶🎶🎶
@@GoodFang Ironically Katy Perry and Taylor Swift have both used the same songwriter in the past.
@@GoodFang not necessary
Let's make this a place of support, not hate.
No doubt at all
You'll probably never see this, Taylor. But "I want auroras and sad prose" is lyrical perfection. Bravo, girl. Bravo.
can u explain what it means?
Yeah can u explain :v :0
Eggsplain
Auroras are the lights in the sky caused by solar radiation that occur at the poles, they very mystical, rare, and beautiful. Sad prose is just another way to say sad writing or a sad story. So she’s basically talking about wanting to feel melancholy and mystical in a way
That whole section from “auroras and sad prose” to “I bathed in cliff side pools with my calamitous love and insurmountable grief” made me so emotional 😭
The Lakes has some of the most beautiful lyrics I’ve ever heard in it. I mean, the way the line “I want to watch wisteria grow right under my bare feet cause I haven’t moved in years” makes me feel is incredible ❤
You should come to the Lakes (they're in Cumbria, Northwest England), you'll get to see the Wisteria and all the Great Poet's houses and the beautiful Lakes themselves. Taylor's lyrics really do ring true, it's very beautiful and calm here.
Taylor did say that if she did not become a singer, she would have been an English teacher and that's why I'm not surprised with how broad her vocabulary is. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I thought she said she would be in advertising (Vogue interview).
@@aaliyahfoster2705 Yeah and then she was asked something along the lines of "If you were a teacher, what subject would you choose?", to which she replied saying that she would teach English!! (Hopefully I remember correctly XD)

The lakes basically symbolise an escapism to someplace safe and calm during the pandemic.
You can feel it. uWu
The song itself about the English Lake District…. Hence the reference to “poets” ( like Wordsworth) ….and Windermere
I live in the lakes :)

@@andypark4431 I live in the Lake District, too. For those who don't know it well, find some images of "Lake District, England" and you'll see how beautiful it really is.

"A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground with no one around to tweet it." Taylor making us remember that we can appreciate/enjoy the beauty without spreading it all around social media.

Terence Music ITS WONDERFUL
I just love how Taylor just said that she want to spend the rest of her life somewhere private with her lover in a very interesting, beautiful and ethereal choice of words, melody and imagery.
Yes! It's so ethereal, plus her soothing voice.
☝🏻
Exactly! I think her music video for this would be so beyond stunning and whimsical and dreamy.
Yup... I really love how the lyrics paint that picture. My favourite imagery from this song would have to be how she described the paparazzi as "hunters with cellphones" and the lake being a metaphor for a private haven away from their prying eyes, where she and her lover can give birth to a red rose or drown in pools of grief without anyone to gossip about them
@@stanacc6999 I WANT & I WISH TOO 🙂
I’m weeping. This is her most poetic song she’s ever written.
Edit: so glad I’m not the only one who sobbed hearing this the first time. 😂♥️🦋
Also the feels

please checkout my cover of "american dynasty" & other songs of tay, it will make my day
Stephanie Anne me as well. “I want auroras and sad prose
I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet
'Cause I haven't moved in years” this hits me hard.
I disagree. A song is a poem. That is the definition of a song.
I've been taking some classes on English literature and we recently studied the romanticism movement. Girl, you had all the references in this song. You make me love you more every day. The songwriter of our generation.
Can you please explain them here🥺🥺🥺
I have no words. Taylor Swift really has outdone herself in every possible way with “folklore” and this exquisite song is the cherry on top. The whole album feels like having an intimate conversation with a long lost friend and everything is warm and bearable for a brief moment.
agree
James Wu wu wu wuuuuu😜
you guys notice how Invisible String foreshadows " The Lakes " with the line "Bold was the waittress on our three year trip getting lunch down by The Lakes" ... I just caught that
Yesss
Here's my opinion :
This track solidifies to the rest of the world what true Swifties have known for years, she is more than a singer shifting through genres , a chart topping name or a record breaking artist etc, she is a true writer /poet / storyteller. Her works might be shared to us through the popular medium of music but her words and stories create true timeless literature.
Also I love that this is the closing track to Folklore because after her mourning the loss of her "stolen lullabies", she realizes her past repertoire could never truly be owned by anyone else regardless of how much money they throw at it, purely because she created for the art of creating and that in itself is priceless.
YASS!
Absolutely true
❤️❤️❤️x13
This deserves more likes!!!!!
👏 well said xx
As someone who grew up in the Lake District listening to Taylor Swift, this song makes me weak with how much i love it
I live in the Lake District and I barely knew anything about Taylor Swift, I think she did a majestic job with the lyrics.
I live in England but My mums from Scotland so everytime I go up there and pass the signs directing towards the lakes district I start yelling the chorus
The 5 most searched words today:
- elegies. n. a poem of serious reflection
- eulogize. v. praise highly in speech or writing
- cynical. adj. self-involved, motivated by self-interest
- wisteria. n. a climbing shrub...
- calamitous. adj. involving calamity; catastrophic or disastrous
also bonus if you haven't already look up "Wordsworth" do it! cause honestly genius! (I first thought it was "what are my Word's Worth" and yes it sounds like it but it is so much more than that!
Insurmountable.
Yikes! I hope everyone at least knew eulogize, cynical, and calamitous!! I have to admit your post scares me a little! LOL
@@susierose7152 not everyone in the world speaks English sweetie ...

I feel like this is the perfect ending for the album. The hoax was more of a cliffhanger, which makes me want more. This song is like the cherry on the top, it gives us a different sound and at the same time a hopeful message. Which is normally how she ends her albums. Lyrical masterpiece!!
I love how she dropped the whole album and now she is sitting in her living room sipping wine while there is chaos going in the fandom
We been going crazy for the past weeks tbh but it's fun

Lol.
*Taylor Swift* & *Selena Gomez* is my inspiration!! *Begging you* please listen my song!! *Literally begging you* please listen my song!! And help me to reach my dreams!!
Hahaha I knowww
this is one of my fav songs in Folklore. I can say that it is also a very underrated one. “A Red Rose grew up on some ice frozen ground, with no one around to tweet it” That line claimed that she used to be so present in socmed, tweeting posts and beautiful moments. But in that scenario, she’s living in the moment and just lets her eyes witness that beautiful moment. It also means that she just wants to run away from the life she has here with her muse and just cry out on the windermere peaks as she refers to it as the perfect place to cry. She wants to run away, but she can never escape the life she has here. It will always haunt her because she is Taylor Swift. Despite not being famous, I love how people can relate to this song, including me. The thought that you want to run away from all those things that is bothering you and that our social batteries can be drained too. The song speaks for ourselves. Sometimes, we just want to let it all out and escape social media and everything. She is truly a genius and can make our vocabulary broad than what the school does /j.
Reminds me of the line in Call It What You Want "I recall late November, holding my breath slowly I said, "You don't need to save me
but would you run away with me?"
"a red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground, with no one around to tweet it" this literally defines joe and taylors private relationship
reputation ended with “you and me forevermore”
Lover ended with “you are what you love”
folklore ended with “no, not without you”
I thought rep ended with "I will hold on to you"
@@ronandrewtaylorsversion7410 its the chorus so the actual last line is you and me forevermore
Claire Yen check the lyric booklets 🥰
@@clayen19 lmao Taylor is the one who decided to end them like this I was just pointing out 🤩
Either way they all end right around the same. It's all a beautiful comparison whichever ones you count as the last words.
1. Taylor Swift - The Country Girl
2. Fearless - The Princess
3. Speak Now - The Teenage Girl
4. Red - A Woman In Love
5. 1989 - The Party Girl
6. Reputation - Bad Girl
7. Lover - The Lover
8. Folklore - A Wise Woman
This comment deserves more attention! ☝️
But the Barbarians named Scott and Scooter took away her 6 albums.
Diamond K she said she’s gonna re-record all the other 6 albums
Next album will make her a saint.

This new album is perfection.
It resembles the genuine purity of her first album,
the classic magic of Fearless,
the meaningful depth of Speak Now,
the struggle of discovering self-identity in Red,
the excitement of 1989,
the bite of Reputation,
and the endearing playfulness of Lover.
What a cumulative masterpiece of the nuances of life, love, and feeling. Taylor, thank you for making me feel so alive through your music as a vessel of your wonderful existence.

The beginning of 'the lakes' makes me feel like walking in a field of beautiful flowers. In the chorus I feel like having a picnic alone by a lake in a sunny day under a tree a looking at a picture of someone else. The bridge makes me feel like the sunny day turns into a snowy weather.
🌻🌻🎶🎵
UwU 💕
Yep this song *took me to places Ive never been*
did anyone notice how in hoax, she says stood on the cliffside screaming give me a reason, and in the lakes, she says i bathe in cliffside pools with my calamitous love and insurmountable grief
to jump off the cliff, whatever it takes
Everything about this song is incredible. The fact that it is put last on the album brings the perfect closure, both musically and lyrically. The beauty of each word used. The history and research behind. I'm listening to this masterpiece and i can't believe it's real.
Hi all please check my cover of her song you need to calm down 🎶❤️😍 I’m learning more Taylor 🎶❤️ have a great day
I agree with your comment. I needed closure and this song gave me that and more
@addison rae i just did and wow. just wow. i wanna listen to it in actual rain alone in front of a lake now
The singer, songwriter, producer, the music industry and now a poet.

This ain’t a poem aren’t songs poems the same thing anyway
if this album doesn’t win a grammy we will have a problem
grammys don't deserve this lyrical genius
Lol
When she said "calamitous love and insurmountable grief" it feels so damn luxurious ✨
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed-and gazed-but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
William Wordsworth
Wordsworth was also a genius. Thank you very much for this.
Wow, why did this make me cry? So beautiful, thank you for sharing it here.
Daffodils 😍
oh my goodness
I've only known the first paragraph, thanks for this!
This is it, kids. This is the song that perfectly encapsulates Taylor's maturity as a songwriter/lyricist as well as both her vulnerability and strength as a person. Absolutely perfect song.
*Taylor Swift* & *Selena Gomez* is my inspiration!! *Begging you* please listen my song!! *Literally begging you* please listen my song!! And help me to reach my dreams!!
Taylor be expanding my vocabulary more than my English teacher lol
HAHAHAHAHAH
Kashvi Rateria agreed
I realized this too. While in the former albums i basically knew all of the words here i have to look into a dictionary more often ;)
LOL 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm not even bothered to look in the dictionary, just gonna go with the flow and guess the meanings of the words
This isn’t an album so much as it is an experience, this feels like a spiral of thoughts you have in the quiet night
Taylor will be written in history books.
Yes
I’m so glad I live in the same time that Taylor swift does
yes, preach!
For sure 😍
pretty sure
Okk... If Folklore does not get a grammy for Best Folk Album and Album of the year better the grammys do not give an award again...
Sooo true
Folklore is considered alternative, not folk.
@@hannahspencer9857 Are you sure ? Because I think it's Indie folk.
@@euger.8198 Some people might not consider it alternative, but Taylor and her team seem to consider it alternative. That's how they've labeled it.
Best Alternative Album*
I should say one thing, I really really want to thank Taylor for increasing my vocabulary along with teaching me the best way to write songs. Taylor is an excellent teacher who can teach you everything in the most musical way. I can't express the feeling thay I have right now.
Yes ❤ me too
Yes she's really a genius
I agree with you
Yes
When the bonus track reaches this standard, thats how you know an album is exceptional. I mean, THIS IS THE BONUS TRACK? Come on, its a masterpiece.
this is one of my top five favs it’s MAGICAL
Taylor Swift is the greatest poet in this generation. PERIODT!!.
Haha. Get out of ur little world.
I like her but you are going overboard. Please don't do that.
When Taylor says 'I want to watch wisteria grow'
Wisteria is a vine/shrub it symbolises immortality,love,bliss, tenderness sensuality, expanding consciousness...and she says she hasn't moved in years and she wants it to grow under her feet.. as in the place she currently stays that is where she lives in..in the limelight under the horrible world and the internet. She hopes for kindness among the people of the internet era
I love her so much..I hope our would becomes a better place.
Thank you!
Me a Literature student enjoying this to the core... Wordsworth alive.
Me as a maths student, a fan of Wordsworth, and a lover of the English language ... so lucky to be alive at the same time as Taylor
@@prisonmike1139 Living the best of both worlds... It's lucky to have the logic of a math student and the emotion of a lit lover... 🤓🤓🤓
I was also thinking of Wordsworth!!!
Sometimes I think about people who don't listen to Taylor Swift and feel bad for how much they are missing out on life.
The Dorothy-Wordsworth conversation plot.
Taylor swift is so amazing! My friend (not a swiftie) thought that Taylor swift only wrote pop songs (shake it off, blank space, we are never getting back together) until she heard this song and other folklore songs. She really does have every genre of music
Taylor isn’t just an amazing singer and an incredible lyricist, she is also a beautiful poet!!!
Taylor swift is a respected artist. Having such elegant and meaningful songs today is a gift for the present generation.
All facts
After releasing "the lakes", it seems like "folklore" is totally completed....
Thank you Taytay for releasing this outstanding and cohesive album.😊
This track is really a great ending to the album. It kinda summarizes the overall ambiance of the album. Very dreamy and evokes the emotion of a wishful thinking. I loved it
@@heraldjaybautista3754 that's how every last song of Taylor in an album. All of them are outstanding.....
Fun fact: Taylor released this song when I was in a cabin. I repeat:
I. First. Listened. To. This. Song. In. A. LOG CABIN.
Lucky
you're living the dream luv
must've been 1000000% better and magical
I'm jealous.
bruh
