As someone who was suicidal as a teenager and found solace and comfort in Taylor's music, this song hits hard. Thank you for giving me hope and light when I didn't have much.
This song relates to me in a personal level. I struggle with anxiety and depression, and my boyfriend is constantly checking on me. Once he broke down crying, saying that he wanted to see me get better. He even brings me to therapy, and I am getting better now. He is always telling me that he loves me no matter what. He is my summer sun. Edit: We were on a relationship break now. Edit 2: We broke up. I realised that I must become my own summer sun.
@@carmelitabraga9297 confort them but don't ever force him to get help it'll get worse but always remind them they're worthy and loved and if they're ready to get help don't deny them cause trust me it took everything they have to asked you that.
This sits with The Outside, Tied together with a smile, Clean, Mirrorball, and This is me trying. Thank you Taylor for saving me again. I can't go because i don't want to miss your songs and want to support you forever.....
This song is about a friend of Taylor's who passed away from an overdose. His name is Jeff Lang. I feel like alot of people don't know the depth of this song due to its upbeat melodies. You need to know about the story to better appreciate the song.
@@superfudge2134 Sí, pero aún está a interpretación por ejemplo "long gone, not even listening, my voice comes out screaming" puede ser interpretado como alguien que no te está poniendo atención y le gritas de desesperación, pero también como alguien que falleció y gritas de dolor
this is definitely about suicidal thoughts and depression...and how it looks from the other way around, when you don't know what to do when you see it in a person that you love and care for...it is heartbreaking
I met someone in my class a couple months that I had a big crush on! We started becoming friends and I asked her out, turns out shes going through so much so she couldn't date me. I didn't know how much shes going through. We are great friends now, its so hard to see her going through this :( its like taylor knew what was going on and released this. Ive never been so close to a person like this. Im trying to be her summer sun
This song feels like a handkerchief when you're crying and has nothing to wipe your tears. This feels like a pillow to hug while staring at the ceiling, thinking about what will happen in the future. This feels like a shadow that will accompany you even in a darkened room. This is like a letter you might not be able to read when you're gone. This sounds like a friend you wish you had.
I’m so so sorry for both of you. 😣😢🥺 I tear up just reading this. It is truly tragic and beyond hard to shoulder. I’m thankful my mum made sure I didn’t make this decision a few years back during some rough patches in my life. It does get better. ❤️💔 There are those around you that love and support you. That are here right now to remember them with you. To hug you tight during the choked back sobs and there to share the laughs where you both end up rolling on the floor. My deepest sympathy and love to both of you. It’s not the end. People are here to help you through this. ❤️🩹💜💞💓
This song broke me, I went through that and I'm so glad I had support to go through my rough patches and that some were my summer sun forever. Much love to you all ❤ It does get better!!
"too young to know it gets better" the line we didn't deserve. damn. she's so freaking brilliant. There's so much wisdom and maturity in these words. She didn't lie when she wrote "I knew everything when I was young" in cardigan
Listening to this song takes me back to all the heartbreaks and wasted nights, blasting her song all day and night. She has always been there, always been our "summer sun". So proud to be a Swifties and having her as a friend growing up.
Taylor Swift is not just an artist for me. She's like a best friend and a big sister I never had. She's giving advice and comfort through her songs. And this song feels like she wrote it for me. Suicidal thoughts are strong but her music is powerful. I wish my love ones knows that I'm breaking down before it's too late before the winter comes.
Please reach out to someone! If you can not talk about your feelings to your family reach out to someone else. You are way way to important and this world needs you!
I know this song isn't addressed to me personally but I feel like Taylor is saying that I'll be missed if I go...and that means a lot to me right now. Edit: thank you to everyone who left supporting comments. I wrote this when I was at a low point in life and all of your comments helped in some small way. Thank you so much.
Dreama you've entered our lives through this chance encounter in this comment section. I feel when I meet someone I leave a little peace of me with them. Our lives are forever connected now ❤. If you ever feel lonely remember us, we'll remember you
These lyrics brought tears to my eyes wow. This hits deep in the most relatable way when you spent your teenage years fighting depression... This song is incredible. That's what a song should do- make you FEEL
And Taylor didn’t even write it as romantic, she wrote it about being an eternal light for a friend who struggles with depression/suicidal thoughts/addiction/overdosage. It’s so deep because I struggled with suicidal thoughts during sophomore year of high school (I’m much better now, not to worry ^^) and this song put it into perspective for me how my loved ones felt when I was going through that. This song is so profound it blows me away every time I listen to it. It’s in my top 2 favorite of the deluxe songs Red album TV.
@@taylorrayner1394 Dude, I know, I'm literally aromantic 😂 and honestly, I wrote this comment after the first listen, I didn't know the story behind it then and assumed that as a Taylor song, especially from Red, it was likely it was supposed to be about a romantic relationship (not saying she doesn't write about anything else, but romance still makes up most of her discography, to be clear, that's not a bad thing) and I just thought it was great that it was still written in a way that you could interpret it as platonic because it showed that non romantic relationships can affect you just as much as romantic ones and aren't any less significant
this song is the unsung hero of the vault. i listen to it nonstop. i have bipolar disorder and i feel like this song is what my husband sings to me when i cant get out of depressive phases.
"He's up 5am wasted" My best friend of 19 years chose to leave the world a month and a half ago. This song has literally been the only thing keeping me relatively sane. I don't know how many times we both called each other in the middle of the night having a really hard time and now no one will ever be there to call in the same way. I've got lots of friends, and lots of love, but I'll never have a best friend who I grew up with ever again.
I’m deeply sorry for your loss. I won’t say, “it’ll get better” because I don’t know if it will, that type of loss will scar you forever, but as long as you hold on to the memories, your best friend will continue to live on! I hope that somewhat helps, I wish the best for you! 🫶🏻
It's so hard to love someone who's too lost to give you the same amount of love you give them. And It's not even because they don't love you, they're mentally hurt and that never lets them to express their love. You never know what to do to make them feel better and tbh sometimes there's nothing you could do but to love them. This song really described it in the best way possible.
Now it's actually time to prove that Red needs to win a grammy, but what's important is she owns her music now :"))) edit: yes, I know that she might've not submitted this for grammy, but we don't need to win to prove it, so STREAAAMMM FOR OUR QUEEN!!!! P.S: Ig this is the closest I get to tell Taylor I love her 💖🥰😙🤗
The emotional whiplash of going from laughing at a million dollar couch to having my last three weeks sung back to me was rather intense. Thank you for releasing this song, I didn’t know how much I needed it.
ikr?? simple words but mean a lot and I texted my bro cause I heard somewhere this song was maybe about her own brother and that made me think of mine , thanks taylor no I don't lover her cause I don't know her but I appreciate her
I hope you're alright and if you're not it will get better. Reach out for help is you need it. We all need help sometimes, and to admit it is hard, but it makes you stronger. I promise. ❤️❤️❤️
Stay strong love! I hope by now you have found your summer sun and you know who they are. But as long as you have breath with in you, winter won’t be forever!
He says he doesn’t believe anything much he hears these days I say, “Believe in one thing, I won’t go away” - Aahhh how can she come up with such beautiful lyrics
Ikr. It almost seems like she tells you exactly what you want to hear from someone when you're going through a dark patch. Aowhqgsjsqoqjshsjjss just how?? Does she know what's the right thing to say?? Like all the time??
@@rebeccarachel243 I only said older cause it was written before renegade but in terms of the vibe and the lyrics it sounds like a younger sister for sure.
My family will never understand this song. I’ve fought depression my whole life, on top of that, fighting my family who doesn’t understand depression. This song perfect incapsulates exactly how I feel.
this song hits on a different level for me... i’ve struggled with my mental health for the past three years and this is the type of song i need on a daily basis. on the other hand, it reminds me of someone i really care about, who’s also struggled with her mental health for a long time, and i would love to be able to tell her “i’ll be your summer sun forever”. it means so much to me that taylor can take one feeling and relate it to two parts of my life
Anyone that says this about a boy or a breakup has never felt the pull of depression or suicidal thoughts. This song is a beautifully tragic tribute to someone struggling.
even though i've never heard this song until now, it unlocks a long lost feeling of familiarity and nostalgia, like something i never knew i needed. i love that taylor does that for us swifties with every single note she hits, every key or string she plays, and every word she writes. she truly is one of the greatest musicians of our time
*"Too young to know it gets better; I'll be summer sun for you forever"* This song rly encapsulates the mental peace that we all have been seeking for.. sometimes our mind has a fragile way of shaping our mood or make us feel like we can't recognise our authentic self we once were. To me, every song taylor has put out has been my faith to keep living despite how gray some of my day may have been.
I wish I had a friend like Taylor in my life, I went through a deep depression in the beginning of this year, I used to think about taking my life everyday, this song came late, but it´s like a warm hug, thank you Taylor, for everything
Don't. Believe me you're forever scared when you realise you had no idea someone around you was suffering and you didn't know. Especially if it's too late. Speak out.
Please talk to someone close who who you have confidence in. Trust me, it's so much easier once you start speaking up, even a little (you can always start with as much as you're comfortable with, if that's easier) ❤️
@@finnpie9669 it's kind of a metaphor , it's like whenever he flies (happy) he keeps getting pulled down by gravity (sadness,troubles ,any problem really)
dear taylor swift, you are and will be my summer sun forever. i don't know what i'd do without you. i may sound overdramatic to other people but they don't understand that your music is part of the reason of why I'm still going. thank you.
Too young to know it gets better - this always brings me to tears, I was suicidal for most of my teens and early 20's, and now I'm almost 30 and SO incredibly happy that I stayed.
I just burst into tears. Idk where it came from, but your comment just touched me on a personal level so much. I've been suicidal almost most of my life, and now, for the first time, I WANT TO BE ALIVE. I've never felt this way, but today something happened, and things got a little bit too heavy. Thank you for writing this comment, I needed to read this. I'm so glad that you are alive❤
I wish this song was on the first version of RED I could have listened to it during my periods of depression when I was a teenager she says things that are so true that we would like to hear when we are lost
As someone who recently lost an extremely close person to depression, this was incredibly difficult to listen to. Right now it does feel like forever winter. Hoping that one day I will manage to feel that this pain won't be for evermore.
I am sorry. I don't know your pain. But I know that lose someone is like to enter a unknown dark valley without see if theres a way or a frickle of light that could guide us to get out of this lost and desperate state of mind. Hugs ❤️
It took me about 6 seconds to start crying. I was not expecting this. It is such a beautiful message of hope and loving those who are living with depression. Taylor, you are beyond words for this girl. Never stop being such a beautiful beacon of feelings and emotions.
this is exactly how it feels when you’re hopelessly in love with someone who’s far gone and needs to heal but won’t seek help. how you still have hope that you can save them and in denial about your relationship ruining you to pieces. so powerful
Me too. It's like nothing gets to them. But hey, I think all we can do is have patience and not forget to love ourselves while loving them. As long as they find their strength, we have to have strength too
Love her for using music to talk about depression. It’s okay to not feel okay. But talking about it helps. Always check in on the ones you love ❤️ The best, most cathartic conversations usually start with, “I just wanted to check in to see how you were doing”.
As a boy who also had thoughts of self harm, this song is so meaningful to me, yet its sad that theres no one in my life in the pov of Taylor in the song, but I guess she already fulfilled that role 🥹💓
really i didn't expect forever winter to be about loving someone who's depressed and suicidal. it's just... now i know what other feels like to love me 😔💔
Lost the love of my life March 28th, 2020 after a long battle with addiction. This song is all the things I said to him for years, all the things I felt. Pat, I’ll be your summer sun forever ❤️
For me, Forever winter and Renegade song had so much in common. Accepting the person you love and helping them in their darkest is the deepest kind of love.
Can't wait for all the From the Vault songs to drop as singles!!! This album is awesome-so excited I waited all these years to listen to this! I became a fan during the 1989 era and she was under rated then too! She has a complete understanding of story telling and composing music too! She will always be remembered for her eclectic masterpieces!!!
As a young man struggling with anxiety and depression and hard to find someone who loves me for me and not my body, this song it's the song I needed. Taylor is truly a mastermind when it comes to songwriting and I'm so happy that this song excist
i was clinically diagnosed with BPD and this song talks to me on a personal level. It hurts that i can relate to this so much Being suicidal, hopeless and emotionally empty don't overwhelmed me as much when i have something to hold onto, being this song. Thank you
When I was drowning in my tears and everyone has left, Taylor Swift and her music has always been there for me. Just cried to this song again today at 5AM but no worries, I can do it, I won't go away.
Love the song. Comes from the perspective of the loved ones ( friends, parents, siblings) of depressed people. They will be your summer sun forever. Beautiful
I'm so thankful that she released this because the lyrics are actually really comforting and it makes me wanna appreciate my life more. Now I know things will get better and I just need to hang on a bit more
What a brilliant song...we all need a person who understands the gravity of what it means to be stuck in our own minds... 😭 Internal fears need to be acknowledged before they are calmed!! 💯
I love how Taylor's songs feel like a deep hug in my soul! All the time that I was struggling with Anxiety/depression I had, in some way, her by my side. I'll always be grateful for her and her art, and for all the artists who helped me with their art.
I wish i also had someone to check up on me like this. I have struggled with these thoughts since my teenage years, and my only " Anchor" was to first make sure my parents have enough funds for their retirement days. Now my sister is doing well and i can see she can take care of them. I started spending more time with them, more meals and conversations together. I am saying goodbye to them but they didn't know that. Now my mind is telling me i have nothing to worry about anymore. I started crying earlier on Gospel songs, then i remembered this song. It did make me feel a lot better. Thank you Taylor. Perhaps tonight wasn't the night.
I'm hearing the voice of Fearless Era Taylor. Her 18 years old rhythm and voice are ringing in this song. Love you Taylor, thank you for not changing and just being yourself
I love how the "I didn't know... you were breaking down" part at 3:04 resembles a cracking voice when crying. What makes it powerful to me is that in just that short span of time, I suddenly constructed mentally a visual of myself saying it in front of the mirror.
“too young to know it gets better.” ARE WE EVEN STILL BREATHING
NO WE'RE NOT
LITERALLY OMGGG
That line 😭
Yeah same I loved that line
DONT YOU THINK 19s TOO YOUNGGGGG
"TOO YOUNG TO KNOW IT GETS BETTER" the words we all needed to hear at some point in our lives
🖤🖤
❤️❤️❤️
yesss taylor just being our big sis
exactly words i needed to hear right now
❤️❤️❤️❤️
That “forcing smiles and never minds ” parallel to Enchanted’s “forcing laughter // faking smiles”!!
A LYRICAL GENIUS
Or The Way I Loved You: "he can't see the smile I'm faking"
And 3 am pacing! “2 am who do you love…now I’m pacing back and forth”!!!
That's how she juggle with words. So genius.
It's "faking smiles"
As someone who was suicidal as a teenager and found solace and comfort in Taylor's music, this song hits hard. Thank you for giving me hope and light when I didn't have much.
this comment specially made me cry a lot. So glad you're still here❤️
i can relate to u :)
💛💛
We all love u, stay strong ❤️
stay strong
This song relates to me in a personal level. I struggle with anxiety and depression, and my boyfriend is constantly checking on me. Once he broke down crying, saying that he wanted to see me get better. He even brings me to therapy, and I am getting better now. He is always telling me that he loves me no matter what. He is my summer sun.
Edit: We were on a relationship break now.
Edit 2: We broke up. I realised that I must become my own summer sun.
what can I do to my friend who bottles up everything and told me he was depressed once? I want to help him, but I don't know how it affects him

@@tangyjenna Jeff is her best friend whom she wrote the song for after he passed away due to an overdose
Okay now that I know it's about her friend, I'm crying again
Ok, Knowing this made me instantly cried.
This sits with The Outside, Tied together with a smile, Clean, Mirrorball, and This is me trying. Thank you Taylor for saving me again. I can't go because i don't want to miss your songs and want to support you forever.....
I LOVE THE OUTHSIDE SO MUCH
Don't forget "It's nice to have a friend" :" )
me neither! can't go just yet. cheer, buddy
It's even considered to be in the same level as TTWaS, Ronan, marjorie, epiphany beause they're all based on real life tragedy 😢
This kind of song is the reason I wanted to live more
This song is about a friend of Taylor's who passed away from an overdose. His name is Jeff Lang. I feel like alot of people don't know the depth of this song due to its upbeat melodies. You need to know about the story to better appreciate the song.
And then some people have the audacity to don't like this song because it's just an art...
the lyrics speak for themself, you'd have to be very simple to not understand the deeper meaning.
@@superfudge2134 Sí, pero aún está a interpretación por ejemplo "long gone, not even listening, my voice comes out screaming" puede ser interpretado como alguien que no te está poniendo atención y le gritas de desesperación, pero también como alguien que falleció y gritas de dolor
the depth of the song compared to the upbeat melodies symbolises how he hides what he's going through - she's an amazing songwriter.
I thought it was about her brother?
THESE SONGS ARE RELEASING ENTIRELY NEW AESTHETICS AND VIBES IN MY BRAIN
YES!!!
this is definitely about suicidal thoughts and depression...and how it looks from the other way around, when you don't know what to do when you see it in a person that you love and care for...it is heartbreaking
Very heartbreaking-glad she is writing about this kinda stuff though. A lot of people can relate!
Yeah it’s really sad. Especially knowing the song is most likely about Jeff (a friend of hers who passed away from an overdose)
Yes it is about her friend Jeff he passed away from an overdose she didn't release it at the time because it was too personal for her
I met someone in my class a couple months that I had a big crush on! We started becoming friends and I asked her out, turns out shes going through so much so she couldn't date me. I didn't know how much shes going through. We are great friends now, its so hard to see her going through this :( its like taylor knew what was going on and released this. Ive never been so close to a person like this. Im trying to be her summer sun
Gosh I can relate to this one so hard. I don't know how to do this
TAYLOR SWIFT is proving again that she is the "Music Industry"
This song feels like a handkerchief when you're crying and has nothing to wipe your tears. This feels like a pillow to hug while staring at the ceiling, thinking about what will happen in the future. This feels like a shadow that will accompany you even in a darkened room. This is like a letter you might not be able to read when you're gone. This sounds like a friend you wish you had.

Wow

YES EXACTLY

Yes, this is so true
ACCURATE AND THIS IS SO UNDERRATED O MY GOSH
THIS SONG IS SO GREAT dude ur not wrong (I have a different opinion, but I also agree with you?)

I feel like this is renegades older sister. They both are about loving a person that's dealing with depression.
yep this^^
no more like younger sister i think
@@rebeccarachel243 I only said older cause it was written before renegade but in terms of the vibe and the lyrics it sounds like a younger sister for sure.
This is about a friend of hers that passed away. I'm pretty sure.
@@StateofGrace82 Yeah I saw that on twitter and if it really is about her friend then it's 10× more sad.
My family will never understand this song. I’ve fought depression my whole life, on top of that, fighting my family who doesn’t understand depression. This song perfect incapsulates exactly how I feel.
Love you dude. Have a Swift day.
thinking of you & sending love.💛
Same story...
@@yogeshpal4053 I also love you too dude. Have a Swift day.
Sending hugs! 🤗
I'm glad this masterpiece didn't stay in the vault. Can't stop listening it.
Lm glad this masterpiece didnt stay in the vaut Can t ravi listening it
RED REALLY DESERVES A GRAMMY THIS TIME
yupppsss our mother woh for atwtmvtvftv
*hot girl summer mood: closed*
*sad girl autumn mood: opened*
THIS IS THE MASTERPIECE WE ALL NEEDED
this song hits on a different level for me... i’ve struggled with my mental health for the past three years and this is the type of song i need on a daily basis. on the other hand, it reminds me of someone i really care about, who’s also struggled with her mental health for a long time, and i would love to be able to tell her “i’ll be your summer sun forever”. it means so much to me that taylor can take one feeling and relate it to two parts of my life
Anyone that says this about a boy or a breakup has never felt the pull of depression or suicidal thoughts. This song is a beautifully tragic tribute to someone struggling.
even though i've never heard this song until now, it unlocks a long lost feeling of familiarity and nostalgia, like something i never knew i needed. i love that taylor does that for us swifties with every single note she hits, every key or string she plays, and every word she writes. she truly is one of the greatest musicians of our time
I felt a connection to this song before it was even released and now finally listening to it, it finally all makes sense
Sending you love
@@ally_roro1482 💗
same here! the second i heard the title i knew it would be so personal and now it’s one of my favorite taylor songs
same exactly same@detective taylor swift . i felt in my heart i'd love this and i relate to it so well😥😥
Same I saw the title and I had a feeling
THIS SONG TOOK ME BACK TO HER DEBUT ALBUM WOW anyone else?? I am in love
It honestly makes me think of the Speak Now era
Cold as you vibes for sure
Omg i does and it's perfect 😭😭😭😭😍
Definitely getting Speak Now vibes. This sounds a little more “mature” (for lack of better word) than her debut, in my opinion.
This and message in a bottle..... so true bestie
"I'll be summer sun for you forever" is so like, platonically romantic if you get what I mean
Bromantic
YESSSS
Once again: We oughta start saying "it's so platonic" like we say "it's so romantic"
*"Too young to know it gets better; I'll be summer sun for you forever"*
This song rly encapsulates the mental peace that we all have been seeking for.. sometimes our mind has a fragile way of shaping our mood or make us feel like we can't recognise our authentic self we once were. To me, every song taylor has put out has been my faith to keep living despite how gray some of my day may have been.
I can't be the only one who thinks Forever Winter is the long lost sister of Back to December??
Omg yesss
Oh ma gawdddddd yes I can hear it!!!
The story of the boy part.
The lyrics remind me of renegade😭😭
@@Kitkat-iu2xx same. renegade but with a younger and naive perspective.
Forever Winter: I’d say I love you even at your darkest.
Call It What You Want: Starry eyes sparking up my darkest night.
The glow up ✨
The only similarities these lyrics and songs share is the word darkest
that is such a beautiful connection
Ronan, Forever Winter, and Marjorie. The holy Trinity.
soon you'll get better is the mom
Yesssss
😭🥺🤲
@@madilynneharbauer2851 But her mom is alive
OF PAIN
I wish I had a friend like Taylor in my life, I went through a deep depression in the beginning of this year, I used to think about taking my life everyday, this song came late, but it´s like a warm hug, thank you Taylor, for everything
I hope you’re okay! You are loved and enough. I hope you’re doing better. 🤍
We need just one person to say all these words to us when we're at our lowest. Taylor Swift is that person for many.
“I’d be summer sun for you forever. Forever winter if you go.”
Aww! I love the reference of the seasons! Gosh! Such a creative writer! ❤️
"All this time, I didn't know you were breaking down."
Yes. I keep everything to myself.
Tomioka saaaan~
Don't. Believe me you're forever scared when you realise you had no idea someone around you was suffering and you didn't know. Especially if it's too late. Speak out.
Please talk to someone close who who you have confidence in. Trust me, it's so much easier once you start speaking up, even a little (you can always start with as much as you're comfortable with, if that's easier) ❤️
He spends most of his flights getting pulled down by gravity. SUCH A LYRIC GENIUS😭❤️
Wait does this mean like? Drugs?
@@finnpie9669 suicidal thought caused by depression.
@@finnpie9669 it's kind of a metaphor , it's like whenever he flies (happy) he keeps getting pulled down by gravity (sadness,troubles ,any problem really)
It’s such a genius line because the word gravity can mean gravitational force but it can also mean seriousness. It works so well! ❤️
He spends pas more of flights getting pulled down by Gravity such a lyric genius😍❤
dear taylor swift, you are and will be my summer sun forever. i don't know what i'd do without you. i may sound overdramatic to other people but they don't understand that your music is part of the reason of why I'm still going. thank you.
No, you don't sound overdramatic. I really relate to you
Too young to know it gets better - this always brings me to tears, I was suicidal for most of my teens and early 20's, and now I'm almost 30 and SO incredibly happy that I stayed.
i’m responding late but this gave me hope stranger 🤍 i’m so happy you stayed too. sending so much love n light your way ✨
hey, I'm happy you stayed too, you're so strong for that
And me it got worse. So I wish I would have listened to me some years ago.
I just burst into tears. Idk where it came from, but your comment just touched me on a personal level so much. I've been suicidal almost most of my life, and now, for the first time, I WANT TO BE ALIVE. I've never felt this way, but today something happened, and things got a little bit too heavy. Thank you for writing this comment, I needed to read this. I'm so glad that you are alive❤
I don't know you but I'm so happy you've stayed and you're here right now! This world is a much better place with you in it
This song is a masterpiece. Its lyrics and melody are fabulous. This song is about the current friendship between my best friend and me.
I wish this song was on the first version of RED I could have listened to it during my periods of depression when I was a teenager she says things that are so true that we would like to hear when we are lost
I agree! I really wish this came out in 2012
Especially the line ' too young to know it gets better '
Wish they let her :(
When red came out i was 9,now im 18 so im glad i have this masterpiece rn,
As someone who recently lost an extremely close person to depression, this was incredibly difficult to listen to. Right now it does feel like forever winter.
Hoping that one day I will manage to feel that this pain won't be for evermore.
sending you love and hoping the pain wouldn't be for evermore. Stay strong
I feel you. I've lost a loved one because of depression. You must mean the world for them. Keep fighting for them and for you.
I am sorry. I don't know your pain. But I know that lose someone is like to enter a unknown dark valley without see if theres a way or a frickle of light that could guide us to get out of this lost and desperate state of mind. Hugs ❤️
😥❤️❤️❤️
Sending you love and hope you'll be strong!!
That person is looking over you and wants you to be happy so stay safe!!
1 yr later and still no ones talking about this song. I'm sad that it's really underrated. It's my favorite from the vault.
It’s been my taylor favourite since I heard it ☺️
its in my top 5 taylor swift songs..
Yeah this one is my favorite vault song for sure!
I have been depressed, anxious, and suicidal for years. Having Taylor's music has definitely helped, and I know she won't go away
I don’t know you but I’ll be summer sun for you!
unpopular opinion : This is the best song in the vault, anyone else ?
It is
Yes and message in a bottle too
This and better man are my favorite red vault tracks
Absolutely
ATW10MV and Run
It took me about 6 seconds to start crying. I was not expecting this. It is such a beautiful message of hope and loving those who are living with depression. Taylor, you are beyond words for this girl. Never stop being such a beautiful beacon of feelings and emotions.
“I’d say I love you even in your darkness.” “Why fall in love, just so you can watch it go away.” BEAUTIFUL AND HEARTBREAKING!
As someone going through a rough time at 21 years old, I really needed forever winter & nothing new
Same
I'm fighting my depression alone but after hearing this song I know someone still my summer sun
hoping you’ll heal very soon! ❤
I’ll be your summer sun❤
I’m your summer sun ❤️🩹you will get better 💗 I promise
this is exactly how it feels when you’re hopelessly in love with someone who’s far gone and needs to heal but won’t seek help. how you still have hope that you can save them and in denial about your relationship ruining you to pieces. so powerful
I'm going through that with a dear friend :( I don't know what to do
Me too. It's like nothing gets to them. But hey, I think all we can do is have patience and not forget to love ourselves while loving them. As long as they find their strength, we have to have strength too
I agree.
it’s really really hard and i just don’t know what to do anymore:(
Love her for using music to talk about depression. It’s okay to not feel okay. But talking about it helps. Always check in on the ones you love ❤️ The best, most cathartic conversations usually start with, “I just wanted to check in to see how you were doing”.
. She sings about things that most people can relate to and I feel a very strong connection to her music.
Me too
Same same same
As a boy who also had thoughts of self harm, this song is so meaningful to me, yet its sad that theres no one in my life in the pov of Taylor in the song, but I guess she already fulfilled that role 🥹💓
such a story between her and joe due to their ending story isn't it?
@@santyyolandasimatupang8124no
I hope you will feel better one day. Be your own sunshine.
@@niemalsmehrdiegleiche thank you soooo much. and yes you’re right, we need to love ourselves and be the sunshine for ourselves 🥹❤️
this might just be 1 of the most heartbreaking songs she ever made.
really i didn't expect forever winter to be about loving someone who's depressed and suicidal. it's just... now i know what other feels like to love me 😔💔
"ITS NOT JUST A PHASE" ME WITH U MISS SWIFT
The way she can word perfectly how we are feeling 😭
Please don't compare being a fan of an artist to like... depression and addiction
you completely missed the meaning of the song
@@moonzo13 oh girl this was commented TWO years ago
@@gigispiteri oh mb lmao i didnt realize u posted this 2 years ago
Lost the love of my life March 28th, 2020 after a long battle with addiction. This song is all the things I said to him for years, all the things I felt. Pat, I’ll be your summer sun forever ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss. 😢🥺😭 *cried when I read your comment* Much love and sympathy. ❤️🩹💓
@@joy1696 thank you 🥺❤️
I´m so sorry for your loss. sending lots of love
@@piacarrillo9089 thank you my love 🥺❤️
I am so sorry for your loss. Sending much love to you🥺❤️❤️
For me, Forever winter and Renegade song had so much in common. Accepting the person you love and helping them in their darkest is the deepest kind of love.
This kind of empathy is why we love you Taylor. I've never before heard a song for people who have carried this worry.
This was a hidden masterpiece omfg
This song hits so hard when you've already experienced loving someone who doesn't want to live. I legit almost cried listening to this one
Can't wait for all the From the Vault songs to drop as singles!!! This album is awesome-so excited I waited all these years to listen to this! I became a fan during the 1989 era and she was under rated then too! She has a complete understanding of story telling and composing music too! She will always be remembered for her eclectic masterpieces!!!
As a young man struggling with anxiety and depression and hard to find someone who loves me for me and not my body, this song it's the song I needed. Taylor is truly a mastermind when it comes to songwriting and I'm so happy that this song excist
i was clinically diagnosed with BPD and this song talks to me on a personal level. It hurts that i can relate to this so much Being suicidal, hopeless and emotionally empty don't overwhelmed me as much when i have something to hold onto, being this song. Thank you
how are you doing now? i hope it got easier for you
Me with every new song "this is it, this is my favourite song" I love them all
Listening to Red TV is going to take me some hours. I want to replay every song.
being a Swiftie means clearing your entire day when an album drops HAHAHA
@@thecaremel4821 frr😭😭
I literally started listening at 2:30 PM, it's 9:51 and I FINALLY made it here. Just a few more to go..
started at 9:00 a.m went on till 11:00 p.m.
forever winter after a cruel summer
When I was drowning in my tears and everyone has left, Taylor Swift and her music has always been there for me. Just cried to this song again today at 5AM but no worries, I can do it, I won't go away.
Love the song. Comes from the perspective of the loved ones ( friends, parents, siblings) of depressed people. They will be your summer sun forever.
Beautiful
the moment i realized what the song was about..... tears literally threw themselves out of my eyes WOW
We all deserved someone who would say to us *"I love you even at your darkest and please don’t go"* and *“Believe in one thing, I won’t go away”*
I wish more singers would release their unreleased songs like this
I'm so thankful that she released this because the lyrics are actually really comforting and it makes me wanna appreciate my life more. Now I know things will get better and I just need to hang on a bit more
"too young to know it gets better"... this line got me through my finals week
i love how she went “forever winter if you go” at the end- 😭
What a brilliant song...we all need a person who understands the gravity of what it means to be stuck in our own minds... 😭
Internal fears need to be acknowledged before they are calmed!! 💯
This is the song I'll play on my darkest hours, Taylor's voice telling me that she'll be my summer sun would be enough to be strong.
I love how Taylor's songs feel like a deep hug in my soul! All the time that I was struggling with Anxiety/depression I had, in some way, her by my side. I'll always be grateful for her and her art, and for all the artists who helped me with their art.
I wish i also had someone to check up on me like this. I have struggled with these thoughts since my teenage years, and my only " Anchor" was to first make sure my parents have enough funds for their retirement days. Now my sister is doing well and i can see she can take care of them.
I started spending more time with them, more meals and conversations together. I am saying goodbye to them but they didn't know that.
Now my mind is telling me i have nothing to worry about anymore. I started crying earlier on Gospel songs, then i remembered this song. It did make me feel a lot better. Thank you Taylor.
Perhaps tonight wasn't the night.
Im sorry for hearing that
Hey!! Everything's gonna be fine, please never consider urself insignificant. Im sure u mean a lot to ur family
I'm hearing the voice of Fearless Era Taylor. Her 18 years old rhythm and voice are ringing in this song. Love you Taylor, thank you for not changing and just being yourself
CLAIM YOUR HERE WITHIN AN HOUR TICKET! ✨❤️
Stan Taylor for a better life!
I've been through most of the videos and I have yet to find a single negative comment. This fan base is so freaking encouraging
my sister and I used to play this on loop when this came out, now she's gone and I breakdown every time I hear this.
I'm so sorry, but she's in a better place now. Hope u feel better
I'm so so sorry for your loss. I'm sending you and your family so much love. May you find peace.
I'm so so sorry 😭
I love how the "I didn't know... you were breaking down" part at 3:04 resembles a cracking voice when crying. What makes it powerful to me is that in just that short span of time, I suddenly constructed mentally a visual of myself saying it in front of the mirror.
