Watch "Taylor Swift - Red" on YouTube
A few weeks ago, a friend of mine was obsessed with the song Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisely. I asked him why he really liked the song and he confessed that it was his break up song. I fully understand that break ups are hard, whether it was a long time coming, or you were caught by surprise, a break up is a break up, and it still hurts like hell. Which is why, after some time (okay, a long time) after I broke up with my significant other, I find myself putting Red on repeat.
Whether you like Taylor Swift or not, you will agree with me that all her songs are relatable. And Red is no exception.
Favourite Lyrics:
Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favourite song
Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword puzzle and realizing there's no right answer
Regretting him was like wishing you never found out love could be that strong
Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes,
Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go
But moving on from him is impossible
When I still see it all in my head, burning red
Loving him was red.
I don't believe that I am still hung up on my ex, but there is something about this song; it slowly grows on you and before you know it, you know all the lyrics and it just can't go away. You tell yourself that you have to listen to it just one more time.
