This is my favorite song on the album. I felt validated when Paul McCartney told Taylor in a Rolling Stone interview that he liked "Peace" and that the song stood out to him.
Peace is one of my favorite Taylor Swift songs. It's my ring tone. Love the guitar in this song. It's a concept I've never heard in a song before. All you want to do is make your partner happy and if there's a chance you can't it must feel heartbreaking.
I really liked the groove you played at 14:45 Maybe you could play a cover of this song with that style, even just you in the guitar riffing on the base of the song, I bet it would sound wonderful!!
Andrew you have a nice talent of being able to converse without having the other person respond to anything you are saying. Each of these little musical phrases give you so much food for thought. There is a certain point with a genius musician where you absolutely trust everything that they do musically. They are at a level in music where there are no mistakes only a chance to recover into an even nicer place. They carry that ability with them whatever direction they want to create in.
I thought the conspiracy theory was that Betty was Karlie Kloss whose middle name is Elizabeth (sometimes shortened to Betty) and that James was code for Taylor because she was named after James Taylor.
“Inez,” “James,” and “Betty” are the names of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s children. They and Taylor Swift are good friends; she used their children’s names in these songs and didn’t tell them until after the fact.
(I thought the “allegedly” was because she was getting ready to reveal that “William Bowery” is Joe, which means all the “William Bowery” songs are Joe Alwyn songs.)
The 'But there's robbers to the east, clown to the West' part, that's kinda pun according to one reviewer (which is also a swiftie) 😂 when she said the West part, she did this (🙄) because we, swifties all know that it's not just that 'west' 😂 Like it if you get it 😉
please pleaseeeeee make videos about the songs on evermore (the album Taylor dropped after Folklore). It is fantastic, a lot of beautiful and heartwrenching songs!
The Groucho song was the best part, got a big laugh from me. I wrote a song about my turtle but I was only 6 so no writting or relationship. Peace is one of my favorite Taylor songs, I really relate to what Aaron said and in fact while it's super obvious that Taylor wrote it about the issues with her fame, the first time I listened to this song I felt it was talking about anxiety and depression since that's what I deal with the most. And I have to admit that the first time I heard the bridge I ended up crying, this is a very vulnerable song to me. Your videos always make me think and smile, a combination that I really enjoy.
This is definitely my favourite song on the album as well, I'm so glad you enjoyed it :) Also Paul McCartney said in their rolling stone cover that this is his favourite as well which is interesting
Just as Aaron I relate to Peace thinking about mental illness. My mother has been a difficult person to live with since forever, she has her own mental illnesses and she made me go through a lot of trauma since I was like 3 y/o, only now that I’m 18 things go slightly better, but she’s still struggling and my therapy journey is still long. Being very close to me, as friends or partner, means that I could call you at the most random time of the day because I’m having a panic attack or because I just had to help her while drunk or high, it also means that while hanging out some trigger could break me down. As Taylor says, it feels like I could never give them peace, even though I try my best to be a good friend and to keep their brittle heart warm
Wow it's a long time since I listened to "Hero" by FotY. The few seconds you did of it were lovely. I wouldn't mind hearing a full cover of it. I remember years ago there was a beautiful cover of it by a brother and sister. I will have to go watch that again after watching this.
This song is so very underrated. It’s my absolute favorite song from the album. The way I interpret the song, is as a single mom going into a relationship with someone who doesn’t have children. You come into a relationship with baggage from an ex that you still have to be in contact with for the sake of your children, so you have this outside person who can cause conflict in your life that you cannot control and you can’t get rid of, and you’re just hoping and praying that this outsider doesn’t make the person you are with now want to leave. Because they can…they don’t have to stay in this relationship and deal with your ex, they at any point could walk away. But is what you give them enough to stick around? It is so beautiful and I appreciate this song so much and I loved your reaction and interpretation! Thank you!
Maggie's Song by Chris Stapleton is about his dog, a really sweet song ( sweet in the sense that it made me cry by the end of it and I love songs that can make me cry) I'm really enjoying your reactions and looking forward to more!
i’m really glad you’ve finally listened to this. i knew you’d really appreciate the lyrics, and the instrumental with the bass and metronome is i think my favorite production details in her entire discography
Just out of curiosity, do you by any chance plan on reacting to evermore? I know it doesn’t have any live performances like folklore but it would be nice to see your reaction to this album because it has many great songs.
And she does a Zane Low interview explaining most of the tracks. It’s kind of a Swiftie joke that folklore is a better album cohesively but, evermore had better songs overall. It would be nice to have your take on them. (I like them for different reasons like most of her work. RED TV has always been #1 for me so far… ). I’d recommend heading there BEFORE reputation since rep is just a complete 180 from what you have been reacting to.
Hi Andrew! A little detail I love in the lyrics of "peace": "There's robbers to the east, clowns to the west". Scooter and Kanye West, she did not forget you, mfs. hahaha Now you're finishing folklore, I wonder if you'd be up to watch a full concert of hers in this format (one song each video), but with a huge-pop-stadium tour. I guess it would be amazing for you to know this other side of her work and how she can write AMAZING lyrics even when it's pop music. I'd LOVE if, after folklore, you went to the reputation Stadium Tour (Netflix). as always, amazing video! have a swift day
I wonder if you should do a Folklore re-visit at some point? Because your videos are just so good in this series, and now you know so much more about Taylor. I would LOVE to hear your current thoughts on your favorite tracks.
That was a hell of a journey, in a good way. Folklore makes feel a lot of stuff, and I always end up crying a lot when I listen to the album all at once, and I'm a very introspective person without Taylor's lyrics cutting through, but she makes it feel like therapy somehow. I can't help being a swiftie, and I really like your reactions. You really love what you do, and that's wholesome. I can't wait to see what you come up with next, Taylor related or not.
i am so stoked for you to get into the rest of her catalogue - there’s a reason swifties are so passionate! i think you’re really going to dig Nothing New (feat. phoebe bridgers) (taylor’s version) (from the vault).
Can I just say…I think I love Groucho. He reminds me of a much more mature and well-groomed version of my dog. I also just love channels that feature randomly recurring canine characters.
Hi Andrew! Happy New Year, so glad to hear you were inspired and comforted by people's comments in Epiphany. I've loved watching your journey so far. Wishing you the best in the new year!!
🎶He's a dog, but he's wearing clothes That's so great, he looks really nice He's got fur, he's got a wet nose Hopefully Groucho's got no lice 🎶 Thanks for the content, Andrew!
I dont understand the "give you a child" part as her saying she will give birth to his child, i understand it as her saying "with you I myself can be like a child again. I can be vulnerable and naiv and laugh about the silliest things with you, cause you are the one person infront of which i dont feel the need to always act like a grown up who has everything under control". Thats what those lyricy say to me :)
Dude, it's like you breathe music into the air on every exhale. It's amazing to see someone have so much passion.
Thank you!

As soon as I heard Peace I fell in love with that album. It's so vulnerable and legit moved me.
Andrew you have a nice talent of being able to converse without having the other person respond to anything you are saying. Each of these little musical phrases give you so much food for thought.

They are at a level in music where there are no mistakes only a chance to recover into an even nicer place. They carry that ability with them whatever direction they want to create in.
i feel like "peace" is almost from the other person's perspective on "renegade"
the “allegedly” thing jack said is bc the internet for a while (i still do) interpreted the james/betty/august storyline to be about 3 girls.
I thought the conspiracy theory was that Betty was Karlie Kloss whose middle name is Elizabeth (sometimes shortened to Betty) and that James was code for Taylor because she was named after James Taylor.
@@Evelyn208 cool theory actually, i knew about kaylor but never realised that about their names.
“Inez,” “James,” and “Betty” are the names of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s children. They and Taylor Swift are good friends; she used their children’s names in these songs and didn’t tell them until after the fact.
(I thought the “allegedly” was because she was getting ready to reveal that “William Bowery” is Joe, which means all the “William Bowery” songs are Joe Alwyn songs.)
Your song for your dog was so cute hahaha. Great video!
The 'But there's robbers to the east, clown to the West' part, that's kinda pun according to one reviewer (which is also a swiftie) 😂 when she said the West part, she did this (🙄) because we, swifties all know that it's not just that 'west' 😂
Like it if you get it 😉
please pleaseeeeee make videos about the songs on evermore (the album Taylor dropped after Folklore). It is fantastic, a lot of beautiful and heartwrenching songs!
That is so cute that youh knew your dog just wanted to go back to sleep, love your little song!
I wish she did a long pond session with evermore so we could see those songs performed 😥
The Groucho song was the best part, got a big laugh from me. I wrote a song about my turtle but I was only 6 so no writting or relationship.

"I never made another first impression ever again." .....wow....
Maggie's Song by Chris Stapleton is about his dog, a really sweet song ( sweet in the sense that it made me cry by the end of it and I love songs that can make me cry)
I'm really enjoying your reactions and looking forward to more!

Watching this episode is actually very peaceful ✌🏻
Peace is one of my favorite songs by her. 2 more songs!!! I hope you know you have to listen to evermore next.
Hi Andrew! A little detail I love in the lyrics of "peace": "There's robbers to the east, clowns to the west". Scooter and Kanye West, she did not forget you, mfs. hahaha

I agree! Reputation never dissapoints!
I really hope you listen to their collaboration “renegade”. I think you’d really enjoy it

You write and sing beautifully! And great reaction and analysis!
ohh love the outro with you playing melodies!
Another great reaction, thank you, and may you have a wonderful year
another fave of mine, glad you enjoyed it and as always loved the discussion
i am so stoked for you to get into the rest of her catalogue - there’s a reason swifties are so passionate! i think you’re really going to dig Nothing New (feat. phoebe bridgers) (taylor’s version) (from the vault).
You said celebrity culture is essentially highschool culture.. this is what her song "miss americana and the heartbreak prince" is about :D
I love Hero, such a beautiful song!
Can I just say…I think I love Groucho. He reminds me of a much more mature and well-groomed version of my dog. I also just love channels that feature randomly recurring canine characters.
Hi Andrew! Happy New Year, so glad to hear you were inspired and comforted by people's comments in Epiphany. I've loved watching your journey so far. Wishing you the best in the new year!!
🎶He's a dog, but he's wearing clothes
That's so great, he looks really nice
He's got fur, he's got a wet nose
Hopefully Groucho's got no lice 🎶
Thanks for the content, Andrew!
I really forgot about the song "Hero" until you covered that song... 😭😭
I love your reactions!!!
Great reaction!!

I dont understand the "give you a child" part as her saying she will give birth to his child, i understand it as her saying "with you I myself can be like a child again. I can be vulnerable and naiv and laugh about the silliest things with you, cause you are the one person infront of which i dont feel the need to always act like a grown up who has everything under control".
Thats what those lyricy say to me :)
❤
