![Taylor Swift – exile (feat. Bon Iver) [FIRST REACTION]](/img/tr.png)
In an interview their producer said Taylor wrote it, sent it to him and he made adjustments/additions and they went back and forth like that!
That's amazing...they're both fantastic songwriters and it turned out beautifully
@@ZackDavidMusic Yes! Their styles are quite different too and this really worked out great
I love this song so much. It is resonant with many people's experiences.
So beautiful and relatable, right? A very heartfelt and powerful song
What she usually do is write the whole song and the melody and send it the Artist that she wanna work with. She let's them edit their part or whatever. This song is really beautiful. Hits differently if you have a personal experience.
Edit:
So i just watched aaron desner's interview, the producer, and im 90% right. So what happen was Taylor already wrote the whole song and she knows that it's a duet but didn't know who to pick. So aaron suggested that Justin would be a good choice then she sent the voice memo to him and he added parts in the bridge.
That's good to know! She's super talented and can write a great tune in any style/genre. This song in particular definitely pulls the heart strings, right?
@@ZackDavidMusic the whole album is just a masterpiece. Lyrically and sonically. Listen to Folklore
Taylor is an amazing song writer. People find her drama queen but once u dig into her...You will get to know everything. People misjudge her for everything! Loved ur reaction ❤️. Keep listening to her music...you will become her fan 😀🔥. Subscribing u for more reactions😃❤️
That's good to know, my friend! I'll definitely be checking out some more of her tunes - especially the deeper cuts . Thanks for the kind words and I really appreciate you subscribing :) Be well and talk to ya soon!
Zack David Music her most deep cut song of all time is " All Too Well". But if you wanna listen to something like this duet then check out her another duet with Gary called " The Last Time"
Not all duets are created equal, and for folk and indie in particular, it can take months, even years, to build this kind of seamless harmony. That they did this separately, in lockdown, is astounding!
Absolutely! You're right, it's such a delicate and personal genre that it's impressive that they could have this type of synergy even during lockdown!
Still upsets me that people don’t know what great songwriter she is... for example: your first thought was “okay, this is good so it must has been written by Bon Iver”. 😢
To be fair, the only reason I assumed it was Bon Iver is because of the style of songwriting (chord prog, melody...even the sound of the recording). I think Taylor is a great songwriter, especially after hearing this tune! :)
@@ZackDavidMusic This song is written mostly by Taylor, Justin just added some words to it.
@@xhedxiii6535 the bridge, to be precise
@@ZackDavidMusic that's cuz many have stereotyped taylor as a country singer at first then a generic pop artist.... And in reality she floats through all kinda genre. The people who have never been following her music from start to end wouldn't realise it. If you may then check out the whole folklore and evermore albums.
@@booabo he didn’t write the bridge. Only The “all this time” part
The song is so beautiful. just to let you know. it's a Taylor project. she reached out to Bon to work together and It lists Taylor as the first artist because it's a song on her album
It's an absolutely beautiful song, right? Thanks for clarifying that. Taylor is super talented and shouldn't be underestimated in any style/genre. I'm excited to listen to the rest of the album! :)
@@ZackDavidMusic you shooould, and for me exile and epiphany is the best, epiphany correlates her grandfather's experience with the frontliner's experience today
She actually first reached out to Aaron Dessner who in turn connected her to Bon Iver.
Nice! I'd say it's a perfect match. So thank you to Aaron Dessner, too! :) And thank you, Lira for stopping by!
Love your reaction Zack! And i was cracking up that you kept on calling Justin "Boniver" 🤣
Thank you! Hahh, I know...I've loved Bon Iver since the group came out and I've always referred to Justin as Bon Iver hahahh
Loved your reaction to this!! If it's possible maybe react to the whole album?? No pressure, just would love your insight on it. Thank you!
Hi! I'm honored that you'd want me to do a reaction to the entire album! I appreciate that :) Not sure if I'll find the time but I'll see what I can do. Thank you and take care!
@@ZackDavidMusic no pressure at all, I completely understand if you don't get a chance to do it. Thank you for considering it. Take care too, stay safe!
this whole album is perfect 🥺🥺 and love it your reaction even if you’re not much into some taylor’s songs
Thank you for the kind words! I've been so busy since recording this video that I haven't had time to listen to the remainder of the album but I'm sure it's fantastic based on what I've heard from this song!!
Hi! Like everyone said, she wrote the song, sent it to Aaron and asked if he thought Justin would sing the male part. He added the All This Time.
I think you would like Folklore, although I don’t know what music you usually listen to. If you want to understand why people like Taylor, it is not because of her mainstream hits. Those are probably her least popular songs that she chooses to release. She is a lyricist that is often overlooked with her big pop hits. You have to look deeper. I’ll suggest some of her stronger lyrical songs that you may like to listen to that will give you a sense of what Taylor’s songwriting and storytelling And performing is like.
1. All Too Well (live from the Grammy’s is the historic version and the song to which all other Taylor songs are compared)
2. Cornelia St and Death by a thousand Cuts (live from Paris)
3. out of the Woods live from the Grammy Museum
4. My Tears Ricochet
5. The Archer (Live from BBC live lounge)
6. The moment I knew
7. Clean live from Reputation Tour
8. Long Live/New Years day live Reputation Tour
9. Lover (live from SNL)
10. Dear John
11. Holy Ground (live from BBC live lounge)
Thanks SO much for these suggestions. I'm definitely going to check them out. I appreciate you taking the time to make the list :)
@@ZackDavidMusic wondering if you checked out any of the other folklore or evermore songs? I’m not sure i suggested any, but Bon Iver really contributed a lot more to her evermore album with evermore, Ivy, Marjorie, closure, Cowboy like me, etc. and if course BRM Renegade & Birch. Just wondering if you checked out these songs here with Justin Vernon?
Taylor swift people ? It’s swifties baby 😂
Ahhh! Thank you! It was on the tip of my tongue! If it's singular is it Swiftie or Swifty? Songs like this may turn me into a Swifty!
Zack David Music it’s a swiftie
I'm pretty sure thats Taylor harmonizing with him in the beginning.!! I love this song !!
You're talking about 2(ish) mnutes in, right? I still can't tell...you're probably right, but Bon Iver has a crazy high falsetto that can be powerful or delicate and even female-voice sounding. Thank you for watching and commenting :)
@@ZackDavidMusic i can't tell either and thats what makes it magical!! I listened to it again after work and I'm like.. is it him?? I think it's him and her or just him?? Hahahhaa
@@alliesmoley5165 100%sure it's him
@@ariopr I agree with u!! Listening to it on headphones I was able to hear it better!! Totally him and totally amazing!!!!!
I'm glad you loved it just as much as we do. 😭🤍 It's def a Top 5 in her #folklore Album for the lyrics, production and vocals.
He did more in the album! 🖤
Yes!! What are some other tunes you enjoyed on the album?
@@ZackDavidMusic august, this is me trying and my tears ricochet messed me up. 😭😂
Coming here from the future to clarify that William Bowery is, indeed, Joe Alwyn, Taylor's life partner of 6 years. He actually came up with the chorus on the piano during quarantine. Taylor heard his deep voice from the other room, and suggested they keep working on it together. They are both Bon Iver fans and agreed that Justin's voice fit Joe's part perfectly and thus reached out to him. Justin then wrote part of the bridge. If you haven't already, I would highly recommend reacting to the Long Pond Sessions special on Disney +. It is Taylor, Aaron and Jack talking about how each song came together on Folklore, followed by an acoustic peformance of each. Breathtaking and enlightening.
Tay is the main songwriter!!
Nice! I'm not surprised. She's always been super talented!
my tears fell down. thank you for doing this
aww thank you! happy to do it! :) take care!
More Taylor, please! I think you would really enjoy her non-singles.
I hope to when time permits! Whether or not I can make a video out of it, I'll definitely be checking out the entire "folklore" album as soon as I can :)
This was such a nice reaction!! 💜 "I already love it." "Great songwriter." Same, bro.
This one really won me over, for real! I just did a reaction on "epiphany" which I also like...I may like the lyrics more to "epiphany" and the music more to this one ("exile") Thanks for stopping by! :)
and point of correction all taylor swift songs are amazing undeniably the bet songs to ever be sung on this planet
I can see why you love her music! :)
I'm dying to see this song performed live😍😍😍
definitely! I've already heard some fantastic covers of it on UA-cam! :)
Taylor is the songwriter
Thank you! Like I mentioned before, I'm not surprised since she is very talented! :)
im guessing most ppl are not into TS lead single, i mean those poppy and radio friendly hits. just wanna say that from her self-titled album up to lover, those w/o MVs are often better in sounding and lyrically. if anyone could try to listen all too well, last kiss etc. then much appreciated.
anyway, thank you for this reaction. i hope u could listen to whole folklore album. i think this album is equally or better than red or speak now lyrically
Yes, that's often the case, right?! I look forward to checking out the entire "folklore" album! Thanks for stopping by :)
Some deeper cuts for you to react too after you listen this album-
Sad beautiful tragic
The last time
The moment I knew
This love
You are in love
If this was a movie
Safe and sound(not a deeper cut but great song)
All too well
Daylight
Soon you'll get better
Last kiss
Haunted(acoustic)
New year's day
Cornelia Street
Thank you! I have my work cut out for me! Hopefully time will allow it soon :)
Clean
You forget Clean
@@Cristian-yk6hn Now I'm intrigued by "Clean," too, because you and one other person suggested it!
@@raykoasianime.tv21 I'll check it out, thanks!
This is a Taylor Swift song featuring bon iver.
And a beautiful tune it is! :)
it’s on taylor’s album that’s why her name is first lol
Haha you're totally right! And from what I'm seeing from other comments, she's definitely the main songwriter, too...so it all makes sense! :)
Zack David Music thats true. Taylor Swift said that she will never record a song she didn't write.
This song is so beautiful. Love it. Hope she win bunch of awards for this
Absolutely! The awards would be well-deserved!
Taylor just went and made a critically acclaimed album because it's always been told how there are just teens making her following, so there she went and made this album proving everybody wrong (a yet again).
She's definitely winning me over with this album. I just did a reaction to "epiphany" and I also loved that one!
You would love her new album since is indie/alternative: Folklore. The writing is wonderful (and we know that woman can write). According to Aaron Dessner (producer), the Bon Iver contribution with the lyrics was “So, step right out”. Taylor wrote with William B. Which no one knows who he is... (some speculation that it’s Taylor’s boyfriend, Joe Alwyn).
I'm looking forward to finding the time to listen to the entire album! Yes the "So, step right out" part feels very Bon Iver. That's good to know. All songwriters involved made the tune beautiful!
It's a collaboration so each artist's DNA is is somewhere there and you just can't tell. We will see a first demo soon if taylor will release it.
Very true. It would be interesting to see it in its demo stages!
💯 a good song.
101% agree, my friend!
*THANK YOU* for watching this video, my friends! Please see the description for ways to support me and my channel, if you so desire. I'd be so appreciative. AND another HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has already subscribed. More to come soon and I'd love to hear from ya here!
Tbh, after listening to it 10+ times, I was convinced that it was written by Bon Iver, then I read on the Internet that Taylor Swift actually wrote the song then reached out to Bon Iver. I am sure Justin also contributed to a lot of beautiful changes XD
She did REAL good on this one! This is my fave song on this album.
I totally agree with you and thought the same thing! That's awesome to know that she was the principal writer. It just further confirms her talent, right? :)
folklore is taylor swift's best album to date
Based on what I've heard of her music (never heard an album through) I'd have to agree with you! :)
This song is so reminiscient of her song The Last Time with Gary Lightbody from Snow Patrol. The opening kind of reminds me of it (though that could just be because I've already made the connection). It also begins with the featured artist singing the first verse and chorus and then after the second they have this rushed feeling overlap/ trade off of lines. My reaction to hearing this first was eh, the same I had listening to The Last Time but I think maybe this is my favourite song on the album. Though that's not fair cause I've listened to this song like 100 times and the others only, like, twice.
I can totally see the connection you've drawn and agree with it. I hadn't heard that one either. I really like it, too! I'm a Snow Patrol fan, too. I'm looking forward to listening to this entire new album of Taylor's and also looking for some of these other collaborations of hers. Thanks for stopping by here! :)
@@ZackDavidMusic Happy to, just found your page today but subbing, definitely :)
you literally described my experience haha! first time around i was like meh... second time around, eyyyyyy? that's some nice harmonizing... third time around... SOBBED. i'm on listen like... 87.5 right now.
I actually love when reactions are separate and not the whole album at once (particularly when I have not heard the entire album so I don't have to stop listening to those track reviews.) Normally, I would just go out and by the album, listen and watch reactions. With the pandemic the 'norm' is far and away. Every song I have heard has been wonderful off "Folklore." Enjoyable review! (Even tired) Think I'll subscribe to check out more.
Hey, that's good to know! I agree. I usually watch single-song reactions, too. I appreciate the kind words! I'll have more videos coming your way ASAP and I really appreciate you subscribing! Take care!
You do have a deep deep voice I think it’s phenomenal
Are you talking to me or Justin Vernon (Bon Iver)? :) I'm thinking of doing a cover album soon and taking advantage of the lower vocal register...I feel inspired! Thanks for stopping by!
fan or not a fan. It is so important to always tell the truth about what you like or don't. It is important to the artist to know the truth of what the fans like and want to hear. No ones to surround themselves with sycophants. so, good for you having the ability to say you don't love all of the songs of any particular artist.
I totally agree with you. I'm just really glad I loved this song, otherwise I would probably be in trouble :) haha Thanks for stopping by!
It is in the new Taylor swift album. TAYLOR wrote the song. You should listen to her country albums more. One of the better songwriters.
For sure! I'm looking forward to further exploring her repertoire! :)
@@ZackDavidMusic That's great. You will like the album tracks.
React to folklore by Taylor
Your username made me laugh out loud :D (I speak Spanish, too) I just may have to react to the entire album if I find the time! I'll definitely at least be listening to it, either way! Thank you :)
The musical arrangement sounds very like a Justin Vernon track, but the vocals are written by Taylor Swift for sure. As you know, his vocals are generally very abstract, but what could be more fitting than a break up song for him to hit the main stream. It is a beautiful song, with a fairly unique concept of hearing both sides. Taylor has such a beautiful voice, I admit to not knowing much of her music, but I guess part of the reason for this unlikely collaboration, is for people like you and I to have the opportunity to appreciate her. I am from the UK, where Bon Iver are virtually unknown, so there goes my "Hey, I have an amazing band you should listen to" line!
Hey! Thanks for your comment. I echo your sentiment...even here Bon Iver is coming up, but obviously nowhere near the level of Taylor as far as popularity goes. I think it's a win win, because like you said, it's a chance for people like us to appreciate Taylor, and for Justin Vernon and Bon Iver to break into the mainstream. Cheers, man!
Taylor wrote this song with William Bowery and Justin. Bon Iver was only a duet partner.
They did a fantastic job!
Justin is Bon Iver...
Does William Bowery actually exist? There is a theory that william is actually joe awlyn (ts boyfriend) and "Bowery" is actually the name of the hotel where they first met
Andrea Martínez
William Bowery is the fictitious name for a songwriter in cognito. Aaron Dessner said it was not Joe Alwyn but someone else. He said he hasn’t had the opportunity to meet him yet. HS is a songwriter and is used to writing under a different name. I think he chose William Bowery this time.
@@cherylreinell857 it was Joe Alwyn 😍
wow..so. so. good!!!!!!!
Absolutely beautiful, right? :)
Bon Iver is the BEST!
I've been a fan of Bon Iver since the good old "For Emma..." days. No matter what style/genre he explores I love it. Good songwriting and performance has that effect, right? :)
I read an interview with Aaron Dessner that Taylor and “William Bowery” wrote the song and thought Justin would be a good person to have on it. He added/changed some parts like the “step right out”
Love it! It's the fruits of the labor of a great collaboration! :)
This song was inspired by a vision Taylor had of an older man walking through the bluffs on land he doesn't own, wondering how things went so horribly wrong. I met Miss Swift in person in 2008, at a point in my life where matters had taken a turn for the worst, and told her she'd one day be spoken of in the same breath as the Beatles, my childhood musical idols. Since 2008 my life has completely fallen apart and Exile fits my current situation perfectly.
Hi Ray, very interesting story on her lyrical inspiration. And that's so cool that you met her! I believe that's true - your comment about her someday being compared to the likes of the Beatles. I'm sorry to hear things have been tough for you. My very best wishes to you!
@@ZackDavidMusic Thank you. I remain hopeful.
Sublime song
I do enjoy Sublime! Any in particular that you love?
I’m obsessed with this song! It’s so hauntingly beautiful! Can you react to “epiphany” off of folklore? Doesn’t seem like it’s everyone’s favorite so far but to me it’s about doctors and nurses in COVID 19 dreaming about finding a cure and wishing they could save their patients
Hi! I think "hauntingly beautiful" is the perfect way to describe this tune! I've had couple people ask me to react to the entire album. Not sure if I'll have time to, but it's more likely I'll have time to at least react to one. If I do, it'll be "epiphany" You've intrigued me to check that one out. Healthcare workers are really heroes through all this. Be well!
Zack David Music awesome! If you do, don’t be confused the first verses are not about healthcare but it gets there. They are the real heroes, I agree!
@@baileydavis5000 Hi, Bailey! I did the reaction video for ya! Check out my channel to see it. Thanks for the recommendation. It's a beautiful song with especially powerful lyrics, as you mentioned :)
Bon Iver wrote the "So step right out" part. Sorry, I do not have a musical vocabulary, but he wrote that part. This is truly one of my top three songs on this album.
That's good to know! I was thinking when I heard that part and the way he sings it..."wow that's very Bon Iver" So that makes sense. Kudos to all the songwriters on this one!!
this is the best song in the album no lie
I love it! I'll still check out the rest of the album when I can! :)
God I’m so so so sick of men dissing Taylor when they know nothing. They assume she’s the side kick cuz she’s a girl. Taylor wrote it and he is the guest on this song. This guy doesn’t know her catalog but he doesn’t like her music. 😂.
She has written the top selling albums in country, pop, folk. Taylor is a fan of Bon Iver and asked him to be on this song.
This song can have so many different meanings for everyone. It's so well done. And I liked your reaction. Down to earth and genuine!
I have a suggestion that I think you would like: Arctic Monkeys. Their song R U Mine is a great introduction to their music, but Do I Wanna Know? is also great and just a really badass song. I hope you could check them out! :)
Absolutely about different meaning to different people. I love the suggestion of the Arctic Monkeys. I love them! They really jam and groove well!
@@ZackDavidMusic Yes they do!! :) This live performance of I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor is super wild haha ua-cam.com/video/dpGoG_yV3mk/v-deo.html Could just be the Scottish crowd but still ^^
If you love this song check out the whole album. It's a lot of the same!
Good to know! I'm looking forward to it when time allows :)
Please react to the folklore album and also her past albums. Well her singles are usually for mainstream and marketing purposes she loves her fans so much that the most deep cut lyrics and good songs are on her album.
She might have not the best singles but her best songs are on the album waiting to be noticed.
I love your reaction! I like how you also respect to Taylor. I definitely love this song one of my top 5. The best!!!
Yes, that's true...it's like that with a lot of artists (music biz, right?) I'm looking forward to further exploring her deeper cuts, for sure! I'll do my best to get some more review videos made when time allows!
No way, your favorite is Brandi Carlisle?? She's so underappreciated, I saw her live in Denver last year and it was a religious experience. I can listen through her album By The Way, I Forgive You at least several times a day 👐🏼
Yes, I agree about her being under appreciated! I've had the pleasure to see her live as well and her singing and show touched my soul!! Such a beautiful singer, songwriter and person. Thank you for stopping by here :)
Warning! Don't listen to too many of Taylor's deep cuts. You might become a fan.
Too late...I'm not sure if I'm a full-on Swiftie...but I'm definitely a fan now! :)
@@ZackDavidMusic Welcome to Taylor Nation.
She's actually getting mature of her music. That's why it sounds like this.
Yeah I know her old music wasn't easy to listen.
yes, it's all good music and all has it's place, but I agree with you and I'm definitely enjoying this album from what I've heard so far!
But you can’t go wrong with anything on a Folklore
for sure! I love what I've heard so far :)
Just curious, what songs of hers don’t you particularly like?
Hi! I think the overtly poppy ones like "You Belong to Me" or "I Knew You Were Trouble." It's just not my favorite genre/style, but they're obviously good songs if millions of people enjoy them and relate to them :)
React on more from folklore
Thanks for the suggestion! I hope to when I find the time! :)
Don't worry, I don't like all of the Beatles' songs, or all of Aerosmith's songs, Bob Dylan, etc. Taylor has had 188 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, including 9 number ones and 40 top tens, and she is tied for the most Grammy Album of the Year wins. So which song exactly didn't you like? I have a feeling you're not aware of her oeuvre. If you're into music, you should probably educate yourself on her more. Young, pretty women can be musical geniuses too. If she looked like Bruce Springsteen and sang about women, more guys would pay attention to her songwriting.
As others have said, Taylor and her boyfriend Joe Alwyn (under the name William Bowery) wrote this song together during the pandemic and brought it to be produced by Aaron Dessner. He had the idea to have Justin do the man's part, and Justin got a songwriting credit.
react to Taylor's new album Folklore
I plan on at least reacting to another song or two from the album. Time is scarce with all the projects going on these days! Thank you for the request :)
fight song
I'm a "fan" of hers even though rock is my go-to. I do not like all of her songs and that is okay. She has a lot of deep cuts or non-singles that are phenomenal. Her singles are usually... more one dimensional.
I hear ya. I thought "deep cut" was a plan on words for her one tune about "you made a really deep cut" hahaha. I've been hearing that she has some great hidden gems. I'll be gem hunting!
Love how you made it about Justin than Taylor, he is the true legend everyone should be talking about when listening to this song.
I just saw it last night too, pretty shocked he agreed to duet with her. I feel pretty neutral, not a bad song. Not great. I think it would have been better with just him.
But it's a Taylor Swift song, she wrote it and everything
It's a Taylor Swift song, honey. Without her this song wouldn't even have existed.
I hear ya, man. Bringing the indie folk to the people, so gotta love that!
Wtf you talking about its an amazing song lmao.
