I agree. Her voice has gotten smoother, deeper, and even raspier. Her control is very good considering she isn’t really a singer nor has a great voice. Her range is very limited, but she seems less strained in recent years. She works with what she has and honed it in.
because the song is about nothing in particular. it does not have the usual elements of pop/ heartbreak/ fancy bridges/ sassy lines that become easy to hum along or relate to. this song is more "sit in the dark by yourself and let the song envelope you" type. which makes it underrated.
It just dawned on me that the “they see right through me / can you see right through me?” lyric parallels so well with the delicate music video, where Taylor is literally invisible until the very end when the person she loves sees her.
i find it so meaningful when she sings "they see right through me" and then "I see right through me" like.. the swift of the point of view is showing that she is so vulnerable that even she can see through herself
I know most of the “you” in her songs are Joe, BUT- as a Swiftie I like to think that in The Archer, as well as mirrorball, that she is talking to her fans. We could stay, because we DID stay.
Because her life is eventful... Especially 2016, that's literally the autobiography of Reputation. While if I was a songwriter I could only write how I'm just in bed this whole quarantine
That i know This was rhetorical question like, if a tree fell in a forest and nobody’s around to hear it does it make a sound? I know shes talented And REP I believe, she also needed to vent, it was a horrible year for her ,(the worst so far) When the full call was leaked,at the end who else heard Kanye say. ‘I hope we got that’ ‘ and ‘we needed that on the. 3 cameras) I think he targeted her from day one
This one is so vulnerable. I love how she opens up and shows us that sometimes she's in the wrong as well. This song and Afterglow both seem very self-reflective about not always being in the right.
I’d much rather hear Taylor sing like this than with pop production. This is subtle, moving and magnificent. The small changes in her face and expressions are just so moving. She’s living the lyrics when she sings them. I just love her so much. She has a beautiful soul.
nhm 1xo Paul has been Taylor’s guitarist since the beginning of her career. Same goes with Amos but he plays the Bass. I really miss Grant Michelson though. Him and Paul made a great duo
she's in the best place she has ever been, she looks amazing, her voice is flawless, she's dating the love of her live and her new album is a success! 💕
Changing the subject, I think u are saying is after we know a person, it's possible the disappointment comes "'Cause all of my enemies started out friends"
Singing is about how much do you put on it, is about telling stories, is about set free all those feeling inside of you, contact with your "inner me", singing is a way to go to other spiritual plane and be the best version of yourself couse everytime you get better with your voice you get better in your life, reach high notes it's just a bonus, at least that how I do perceive singing
Every Taylor Swift song had almost 4 different versions. She not afraid to alter and play with songs during different performances, it makes each experience unique.
I don't know who says that Taylor is not a good singer. I mean she slays each and every live performance. Her voice soothes our mind. What else do u want?
The generations that grew up with Whitney and Mariah and Ariana and Demi think you have to go high or have a power moment I think but it’s just not the case. However, all the women above are phenomenal but a performance like this can be even more powerful. It’s about connection.
The lyric "all of my heroes die all alone," is pretty incredible because we see so many artists who end up exactly that way - tragic ends with no one who loved them enough to care about them beyond their angst, downfalls, celebrity, talent, or money.
Combat, I'm ready for combat I say I don't want that, but what if I do? 'Cause cruelty wins in the movies I've got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to you Easy they come, easy they go I jump from the train, I ride off alone I never grew up, it's getting so old Help me hold onto you I've been the archer I've been the prey Who could ever leave me, darling? But who could stay? Dark side, I search for your dark side But what if I'm alright, right, right, right here? And I cut off my nose just to spite my face Then I hate my reflection for years and years I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost The room is on fire, invisible smoke And all of my heroes die all alone Help me hold onto you I've been the archer, I've been the prey Screaming, who could ever leave me, darling? But who could stay? (I see right through me, I see right through me) 'Cause they see right through me They see right through me They see right through Can you see right through me? They see right through They see right through me I see right through me I see right through me All the king's horses, all the king's men Couldn't put me together again 'Cause all of my enemies started out friends Help me hold onto you I've been the archer I've been the prey Who could ever leave me, darling? But who could stay? (I see right through me, I see right through me) Who could stay? Who could stay? Who could stay? You could stay You could stay You Combat, I'm ready for combat
When She started singing „cause they see right through me” I had goosebumps. She’s so True and emotional, people may still say that She don’t have strong voice but for me She’s has something more special than only good voice.
Literally one of the best songs she's ever written. Simple yet so vulnerable with lyrics that hit you hard. I always have a lump in my throat when I listen to it.
and then ppl keep saying that she aint talented and that she doesn’t deserve the fame she has. i wish they stopped being jealous and accept how talented she is. she was born to be the artist of the century.
I've never cared much for her.. But, this girl, DESERVES, every accolade she gets. She is such an amazing songwriter.. And that voice.. I've, NEVER, seen/ heard, anyone, like her. EVER. I mean.. This young woman, she will, LIVE and DIE, an ICON. LEGEND. Unbelievable talent. No one is even close too her lane. No one.
Your right. I've just recently started to listen to her albums. I knew most of her songs from the radio. Didn't realize her whole album is awesome. Other singers might have a few good songs on their albums then just fillers. But Taylor goes all out on every song, her voice and lyrics, can't find one boring song anywhere. Ordered Reputation and 1989, can't wait to listen to those. Friends at work are big fans, I guess I will be one too. Amazing talent and lots more to come, she is still very young.
@@savvymegs675She never releases her best songs as singles I think it’s on purpose because her fans me included lol KNOW to listen to the album for the best given I love all of her songs but it’s true
This is the definition of underrated :( this song feels speaks to me like that first glance in the mirror when you wake up after having such a terrible night or not even being able to sleep at all because you’ve been haunted by your mistakes in the past over and over again. You see you and it’s not even really the you you know.
I remember when this came out and I just cried, I dropped my phone and cried so hard at how relatable and beautiful this was. I still can’t believe how talented Taylor is in her songwriting and live vocals like it’s unbelievable. I love The Archer so much.
I honestly don’t think so, I believe it’s a metaphorical take on Cupid; she’s been a prey to love (so she fell victim to Cupid’s arrow) but also the archer, meaning the one shooting arrows and impacting others
When I first heard this song, I thought the production was missing something because it never sped up... but gradually its mellowness and lyricism portraying anxiety has made it one of her best songs to me
Excited for the re-recording and re-release of her past albums!!! Now that her voice has matured beautifully, I can't imagine how she will sound when she reaches her prime in her mid-30s. ❤❤❤
I love how unique her voice is. I mean you listen to any song of her and you instantly recognize it Taylor's. Such an amazing beautiful voice she has!! She's gifted❤
The Archer is one of my favorite song since day one. and being able to say that I heard her sing this live in the eras tour means soooo much to me. I'm literally still trying to recover from that amazing experience. one of the best days of my life. I LITERALLY HAD THE BEST DAY WITH TAYLOR APRIL 22nd IN HOUSTON
There are those moments in life when you are just pulled in and transfixed on a singular thing. Nothing can draw your attention away. This is one of those moments. A truly deep and moving song only Taylor could deliver in such a way. I'm a 46 year old metalhead and I love this woman's music... and I love watching her live performances most of all. You can see the subtle and not so subtle changes in her attitude and the look on her face and tell she's really feeling what she's saying. She truly loves her fans and shows it
I find it inspiring how this woman does it great singer and songwriter she has been metaphorically 'beat down' some many times only to come back out stronger every time. She most have a very successful marketing tool too.
i just bawled my eyes out. its been a few weeks since ive listened to this song and the past weeks have been rough. and this shit just hit me right in the feels.
“cause all of my enemies started out friends” i felt that
Me too - one of the worst feelings in the world ...
Katy perry indeed

Born beautiful, born tall, born able to sing, born into a wealthy family.

Exactly! It literally flows such soothing vocals
such a good description
I agree. Her voice has gotten smoother, deeper, and even raspier. Her control is very good considering she isn’t really a singer nor has a great voice. Her range is very limited, but she seems less strained in recent years. She works with what she has and honed it in.
This song is all auto tone.
@@ElyWill limited range? Really? O.O LOL OK
Why is The Archer so underrated? It's one of the favs from Lover
because the song is about nothing in particular. it does not have the usual elements of pop/ heartbreak/ fancy bridges/ sassy lines that become easy to hum along or relate to. this song is more "sit in the dark by yourself and let the song envelope you" type. which makes it underrated.
Mine too!
Cruel Summer is a work of art
@@shalakaj523 Right? And even if there are no sassy lines, "all of my enemies started out friends" haunts me still.
RIGHT!! same
It just dawned on me that the “they see right through me / can you see right through me?” lyric parallels so well with the delicate music video, where Taylor is literally invisible until the very end when the person she loves sees her.
It's been over a year and I still keep finding new things. That's Ms. Swift for ya.
omg wow i never picked up on that, brilliant
I like how she hides her face when sings that, and then looks at her hands in disbelief
i find it so meaningful when she sings "they see right through me" and then "I see right through me" like.. the swift of the point of view is showing that she is so vulnerable that even she can see through herself
You are right ! I love this song ❤
she really has that emotion in her singing
It's like Jack Antonoff and Taylor just slapped us in the face with sad metaphors
Isnt jack antonoff the drummer from the band "fun"
He was the guitarist but close
Listen to folklore and evermore 😂
She's done several lyrics with him, since RED I think
@@lourdeshernandez4117 wait... Jack Antonoff worked in RED????.... i dont think so. He started working from 1989

Exactly your a genius.
The song mirror ball was actually written after she was informed that she can't do a performance or smm like that so I think it IS about swifties
@@sohelyhayat5505 True.
I agree. She truly is grateful for her fans.
I understand how that works with the archer but im confused about how we are the "you" in mirrorball..

better
Because her album recordings are simple unlike Charlie Puth’s

"hold my bow" hahaha :p

😂😂
Because her life is eventful... Especially 2016, that's literally the autobiography of Reputation. While if I was a songwriter I could only write how I'm just in bed this whole quarantine

SekkaiRaimu lol, i could write about my cat trying to get to birds,chasing light and bugs
When Taylor can't come to London to be a guest that's why BBC itself went to New York. 💁
Yup, that’s how we work with t swift, sorry, the queen.
Legit ba to? Skskksks
Is that in NY ?
Is the background real?
mi so I’m not sure but I think it’s not

*see
I felt it too
me 2
And then *I* see right through me... chills
That "I see right through me" though...

I prefer this than the album version. It's more raw and has less of that synth and echo effect.
Mark Goodboy My thoughts exactly! Love the studio version but after hearing this, it would’ve been so much better without the audio filter effect
Couldnt agree more to you.
Yes
Exactly! I like the lyrics but not the production of the original. This sounds more beautiful imo
Every Taylor Swift song had almost 4 different versions. She not afraid to alter and play with songs during different performances, it makes each experience unique.
“Who could stay?

U can never take your eyes off her when she sings live.... her voice is definition of perfection
"Cause all of my enemies started out friends"
Soo painfully true.
I JUST NOW pieced together that this song must have been inspired by her being a Sagittarius.......Symbol is a centaur with a bow and arrow. Wow.
I honestly don’t think so, I believe it’s a metaphorical take on Cupid; she’s been a prey to love (so she fell victim to Cupid’s arrow) but also the archer, meaning the one shooting arrows and impacting others
@Jennifer Marques Fernandes same!
@@Cocolagaffe18 Definitely a Sagittarius thing! I am a sag and me and plenty of other Sags IMMEDIATELY picked up on the zodiac reference!
@@Cocolagaffe18 agreed. I took it as meaning that she’s been a victim as well as a persecutor.
Seems like both interpretations of Cupid and zodiac hold merit

My favorite lyric from this song is, “I jump from the train, I ride off alone.” It really hits me everytime.
magic in the form of audio right there
When I first heard this song, I thought the production was missing something because it never sped up... but gradually its mellowness and lyricism portraying anxiety has made it one of her best songs to me

How is it possible for a species I share with to be so...flawless?
Money, money after money. And you can be flawless too.
Excited for the re-recording and re-release of her past albums!!! Now that her voice has matured beautifully, I can't imagine how she will sound when she reaches her prime in her mid-30s. ❤❤❤
This just gives me chills. The music, her voice, the lyrics… oh the lyrics. Very relatable. Love Taylor xx
I love how unique her voice is. I mean you listen to any song of her and you instantly recognize it Taylor's. Such an amazing beautiful voice she has!! She's gifted❤
literal goosebumps at the bridge i’m crying omg i love her sm
The Archer is one of my favorite song since day one. and being able to say that I heard her sing this live in the eras tour means soooo much to me. I'm literally still trying to recover from that amazing experience. one of the best days of my life. I LITERALLY HAD THE BEST DAY WITH TAYLOR APRIL 22nd IN HOUSTON
I had goosebumps the entire song, the reverberations were so beautiful
One of her best live performance EVER! Every part she sang was so breathtaking and gorgeous
The best version of The Archer!!!! Can't shut up my love for this version
Incredible how good she sounds live. Sounds just like the album version! So good.
whenever i listen this song i always cry because of the lyrics and the atmosphere it's just she's so strong i'm so proud of her
I literally cried with this live version, so emotionally charged...my favorite song from the album
There are those moments in life when you are just pulled in and transfixed on a singular thing. Nothing can draw your attention away. This is one of those moments. A truly deep and moving song only Taylor could deliver in such a way. I'm a 46 year old metalhead and I love this woman's music... and I love watching her live performances most of all. You can see the subtle and not so subtle changes in her attitude and the look on her face and tell she's really feeling what she's saying. She truly loves her fans and shows it
Her voice is absolutely smooth and gorgeous, and no one can deny how much craft she puts in each and every lyrics
My God, this is so freaking beautiful! There’s nothing better than watching her like this!
Better than the studio version???? Hell yeah
Sooo inlove with Tay's new album,can't stop listening to it❤ Love you Taylor, I'll never leave you,SWIFTIES will never leave you.
The archer is one of my favorite songs. It cuts like a knife.
I find it inspiring how this woman does it great singer and songwriter she has been metaphorically 'beat down' some many times only to come back out stronger every time. She most have a very successful marketing tool too.
Her voice is soo soft, I felt like I was in a dream!! TALENT
Man, i died and now I'm in heaven
I could keep listening to this forever
i just bawled my eyes out. its been a few weeks since ive listened to this song and the past weeks have been rough. and this shit just hit me right in the feels.
“All of my enemies started out as friends” so accurate to my life right now
