if you're a fan of Exile, this and Coney Island, also look up weird goodbyes! All this collaborating between the national/bon iver/Taylor was started by the same guy Aaron(?) dessner who's mainly in The National but played on tour with Justin and Taylor separately and introduced everyone :) we owe that man everything for these collabs!
"Give me some tips to forget you" - this line hitted hard. When you are so desperate for a way out you need to ask help to the very person who've put you in that position.
I asked my ex (physical abuser I was still in love with at the time) how long it was going to hurt as bad as it did when he said I wasn't loved anymore, after 9 years. It's like the cardigan video scene where she is flailing for anything to hold onto. I told him it felt like Inwas falling down a well with no bottom. I have my answer now. It took a little over 3 years, pandemic plus one.
. Hope ur recovery road is easier now. My heart to ur heart. Physical abusers are so hard to leave so hard to love so hard to hate. So hard to leave. So Hard To Leave. Thank God We finally left Regardless the catalyst that catapulted Our dumb asses. People ask. How could u stay. Why not leave. Can u answer that question? I've tried over the years now to answer that in truth. I really felt and thought with all my being he would some day wake up and realize I was so good for him. To him. With him. But in real time truth. We were so volatile even just in the same space. Not to mention a marriage life. Miserable was the word is the word that comes to mind looking back , looking inside. I fou d an old journal.that I'd kept for the better part of 23 years. Holy shit batman 😢 almost RVRRY ENTRT has the statement in some frame of words " why doesn't he love me like u love him" I could not see from my perspective.

Their voices together are great yet shattering, how gut wrenching and beautiful the lyrics are... The dynamic of them talking to each others and the backing vocals as if their thoughts are colliding, pure art.
Wow, that was very harmonist mash up: nice to be around good company again! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 No, not at all, love - carried me through a storm I could not travel alone, is more liken to the truth.. Your still growing wondrously, too. 😘 "I rarely ponder that": and I don't mind getting lost in a forest when town is near. 🤺🙄😅😅A few more people {they drive nuts}: that {{crash through their doors}}; might speed things up. 🤦♂🤦♂💁♂How, did I get the flip side! Again!! 🤔🥰🥰🤔🤔 Precisely: hopping to at least still be friends, at the public (à la carte); is a good thing to hold onto. Yea, no kidding, bro: she can fracture her environment, in her tossing and turning. Struggling to break free from ones comfort zones is liken to having old knees. It's painful, as long as you want it to be. = All the time in the world to sleep, and it only brought more pain being idle. That one was a surprise, to me. I'll hold onto that prayer for you: that's a journey I rather take then waiting for death here. 😘😘😘😘
Renegade, Birch, Carolina and The Alcott are like the tracks of the 3rd sister album of “folklore“ and I love that the folklore and evermore saga is still continuing.
The older Taylor gets, the more mature the relationships in her songs are. They aren't about just that young passionate love. These songs are also about people who are older and have understanding. These songs like Coney Island and Exile and The Alcott are so much relatable to people who are grown ups and been in painful relationships for years and regret the small things that they ignored cuz they felt weren't important but now they know what was wrong but cannot undo it anymore.
Isn‘t a bit disresspectful to assume, that the lyrics describe one of Swifts relationships, though she is only singing the backing vocals? Man, that is a National song. Thats why the lyrics are so much better than the Swift lyrics you usually hear.
@@fishroro9719 Yes it's a National song and not a Taylor Swift song, but they choose het to sing this part. it is because she has grown as an artist that they did that. The lyrics of her recent songs are also so much better than what you think of when you think of her.
@@fishroro9719 She is more than a feature artist, she is a talented storyteller songwriter. She writes her music, to music she is featured on, to even other artists top hits. I don’t think it’s fair to ever really assume about an artist, when you can easily look information up these days. Assuming just makes an ass out of you and me. (Ass u me)
They collab before. Coney Island Taylor’s first collaboration with The National and one of the members of The National, Aaron Desner, produced a lot of Taylor’s song.
RIGHT? How my 44 year old self and my 12 and 18 year old daughters can be so excited about one song is kind of taking my breath away. If T’s special guest one concert was the NTNL I would die
You read my mind! So much fun for each of us to discover each other’s favourites...I am starting to really enjoy Evermore and Folklore as a result. Wouldn’t have discovered it otherwise!
It’s after midnight where I am and I just wanted to say that I already got the chance to listen to this beautiful song on Spotify. It sounds like the lovechild of Exile and Coney Island, and I’m so in love with it 😭❤️
THE NATIONAL- 100% TAYLOR SWIFT- 100% THE ALCOTT- 100% VISUALS- 100% VOCALS- 100% LYRICS- 100% CHORUS- 100% HARMONY- 100% PRODUCTION- 100% PIANO- 100% TALENT- 100% MASTERPIECE- 100% LET'S SHOW HOW MUCH WE LOVE THE NATIONAL AND TAYLOR SWIFT !! 💘💘💘
This just reminded me how much I love folklore and evermore. We need one more folk album from Taylor and the gang. Obsessed with this song- one of my new favorites!
Man Taylor Swift voice bro I swear she makes everything sounds magical idk how she keeps doing it her voice is addicting what a beautiful song 🤍 mix of folklore & evermore
I love Midnights but Evermore and Folklore bring out soo much from Taylor I love when we can actually hear her emotions in her songs. In love with this song and renegade as well 🥰
I'm not having a break up or something like that. But this song really puts me down and makes me remember when I was begging my ex to don't break up with me. I know, it was toxic and I was stupid. But this is how you learn. I remember I said to him "give me some tips to forget you". That's why that part hits me a lot
I’m actually crying at this moment, I can’t believe I could be able to hear something as beautiful as Coney Island. Their voices fit so softly and evoke a lot
Exile, Coney Island, the Alcott and the last time are all uniquely different but have the same beautiful match of voices and lyrics that show two arguments and two perspectives. This song is so good, too good. Another forever listen for me.
Yes!! Evermore actually features the National on "Coney Island" it's SO GOOD!! If you like this song you should definitely give it a shot. The whole entire album is so good 🧡
@Sarah Gee evermore is my favourite album from Taylor Swift, followed by folklore. That's when she really grew and showed her capabilites as a songwritter and singer in different genres.
Is this the love child of Peace & Coney Island? I love it!!! The National are one of the best bands out there and the collaborations with Taylor, the queen and the music industry, are just superb. What a time to be alive and to hear these masterpieces!
I discovered the National in 2010 and absolutely became obsessed with them. Been to 6 live shows, touched Matt at three of them, and consider myself a HUGE fan. Up until 2020 I never would have imagined they would ever cross paths with Taylor Swift, I honestly was not a fan of hers. The best thing to come out of COVID and lockdown, was these two artists somehow making their way to each other and creating such amazing music, mostly with Aaron but you catch my drift, I absolutely love it. I tell my wife all of the time that she has the voice of an angel.
"Everything that's mine is a landline" this line in particular is simple and twisted it reminds me of something that's never happened in my life. Very impressive writing.
Wow, this is a lyrical masterpiece. Hands down one of the best TS collabs and her finest writing. I mean... 'Everything's that's mine is a landmine' just got me emotional and by the end of the song I found myself SOBBING
**Thought I should add that I'm aware that Matt wrote the majority of the song other than Taylors parts, I just mean it sounds like something that would come from her head and heart 💔
You do understand her writing contribution on this song is minimal, right? She's the third co-writer in listing. She contributed probably a majority of the lines she sung or maybe not even that.
@iKazed, yes from interviews with the band, I believe I understand that Matt wrote the song, they sent it off to Taylor, and a few hours later she sent it back with her sections written. I feel pretty sure she wrote all the lines she sings solo, mostly because they contrast so strongly to the way Matt writes. I relate to his lyrics because they are heavily about spending decades with one person, and the pervasive sense of personal failure that comes from trying to be something that you can’t pull off, and failing over and over. Taylor’s lyrics contrast for me because they are more oriented toward a relationship falling apart and ending...”give me some tips to forget you” being the most obvious. Even when Matt is singing about endings, it’s different after decades. “There’ll come a time I want to know I was here.” But on the other matter of credit, yes. I understand fans who absolutely love Taylor, but I always hope they will acknowledge the people she collaborates with too, because the world is full of great musicians to discover. (I came to Folklore and Evermore via Aaron.) There were lots of Taylor fans saying “thanks for turning me on to Big Red Machine,” and I thought that was great. I was less comfortable with the reactions I read to the “featuring TS” version of Gasoline by Haim. I was hoping that the comments would suggest that TS fans noticed Haim, and I from what I read, I wasn’t sure if they did. And since that was an alternate mix, there really wasn’t any way you could like that song and not have it mean you liked Haim’s work.
@@jimwilliams3816 totally! I fully appreciate both TS and The National;l. In fact, I grew to love the band when they collaborated with her on her evermore album. And I'm fully aware that she wrote probably only her lines in the song - and I just pointed out how beautiful and how Swift-ish they sounded but Matt's writing on this one is also phenomenal. I didn't mean to offend anyone and I didn't mean to point out that she wrote the whole song. It's 100% kudos to the National, but Taylor's parts are also so good.
Broke down crying when Taylor sang - Cause I love this curse on our house!!! Oh this continues the Coney Island story for me!! Taylor's vocals are haunting - it is a haunting melody, sliding in your thoughts that makes you feel broken yet complete somehow. Beautiful beautiful. Matt's and Taylor's voices fir together like they were TAYlored to be ❤
@@mayzcorn27 I didn't want to write it but you said it!!!! I am not even aware of the timeline, but it hits home. Also considering it revolves around Matt and his wife but at the same time, definitely reminds of the Lover house - especially the way she sings
Fucking stunning. I love their voices together. Just like with Bon Iver, their deep registers go with her light and almost angelic tone of voice so perfectly. 😍
I love the call-and-response sound of the song and how bittersweet the arrangement of their voices sounds together. Reminds me of exile in a beautiful way.
Never been a fan of hers (I am 56 years old) but have to admit that in the last few years she really has become an "artist," with excellent lyric-writing abilities and ever-improving albums. I hear her concerts are 3+ hour events like Springsteen. That's amazing. Major respect for who she has become.
One of the most beautiful modern day duets, that's pure genius by the National, @taylorswift and @aarondessner! The way Taylor manages to weave back and forth first harmony, then back up, then the dueling, ultimately fueling a goosebumps crescendo is nothing short of genius because most duets have solo and Co sections, the singing and narrative doesn't weave back and forth as much. For a sad that's heart melting and uplifting at the same time - hats off! I've been hearing on repeat for hours, it's so energizing!
INSTANT classic. I rarely enjoy duets, so for me to say that this is now one of my all time favorite songs is saying a lot. Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of art with me ❤
I really get why Taylor likes this band and this guy's voice so much. I liked it the first listen, but it gets even better every time. Subtle, yet impactful.
OMG! Taylor just NAILED IT AGAIN! Gorgeous vocals, beautiful, sad song but the way the talk to each other is AMAZE! I love this collab! With Aaron on the piano. WE ALL LOVE YOU SO JUCH TAYLOR & The National!🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💗💗💗💗💗💗💙💙💙💙❣️❣️❣️
Coney Island is one of my favorite songs like ever ... This is just what my soul needs. If The National and Taylor had an album it would be too much for this world. ✨❤️
This is honestly one of the most breathtaking and pure things I have ever heard. Superior lyrics and layering!! Taylor And the national Have made a legend in this song right here
Massive massive fan of the National have loved them for years. They always speak right to my heart. I always thought I was too cool to like Taylor Swift until I listen to her new album and the reason is is because I heard a song that was great but I knew it was produced by one of the Nationals. You cant deny this is a fabulous song. . See you guys next time you play Boston, MA✌🍀🤓💃
Since the song was announced, I've been so curious how it sounds like, but all i know is their Collab is always so great...so for sure this one will also be another masterpiece!🌟 Edit: Ok guys it was really worth the wait, i am really in love with this song, Taylor's vocals make this even more beautiful, but both have worked really well for this one..🥹❤️
I cant get over this song, loved it from the very first listen, their voices together is sth else, piano is perfect 🤯Matts deep voice is soooo good but Taylor sounds like heaven, shes getting me emotional every time i listen to this song. Feel like its getting better every time i hear it
Love and abet, is lyric that gets me. Through my dad's recovery from alcoholism and my later therapy for depression, anxiety, and PTSD, I've learned a lot about codependency and that's what Taylor is referencing in here. Really key to song IMHO, two people who know they are bad for each other yet keep cycle of reconnecting and breaking up.
If you wouldve told me Taylor would get into the indie/indie rock sound since 2020 and is still going strong in that sound in 2023 back in like lover era, I wouldn’t have believe you fr. Blondie can do anything and I feel this is what she excels at fr
I'd love for her to return to folklore/evermore era once again. If not for a full album, then at least a couple of songs on the new album whenever she puts it out. I feel like folklore/evermore established her as an innovative, powerful singer and songwritter who doesn't excel only at commercially successful, catchy pop songs.
@@realisticguy569 as long as Taylor keep working together with Aaron, im sure she will creat one or two folklorian vibes song in her future new album. Midnight has one, The Great War
@Agnar Juan Janitra I love the Great War song so so much, but I find folklore-evermore vibes more in Sweet Nothing, Labyrinth, and Dear Reader when it comes to Midnights album.
I don't ever want the folklore - evermore era to end 😭😭😭
They're done
Same! Evermore Forevermore 🫶🧡
Nothing last forever💔forever is the sweetest con💔
dont worry, their legacy will go one forevermore.
I think Folklore and Evermore stil remains relevant right now tho
Taylor's backing vocals are so beautiful I'm crying😭
Beautiful
Matt is great too.
🤣🤣🤣
So here me out. This is the prequel to Exile 😢
@@Mrsamj1989 it matches exile too
I’m obsessed by this masterpiece. Their voices fit perfectly together. It’s for us Coney Island, Renegade and Exile girlies
we're winning
Yeaaahhh❤❤
I stan renegade. It's my favorite Taylor song but it's not actually a Taylor song .
Yessss
if you're a fan of Exile, this and Coney Island, also look up weird goodbyes! All this collaborating between the national/bon iver/Taylor was started by the same guy Aaron(?) dessner who's mainly in The National but played on tour with Justin and Taylor separately and introduced everyone :) we owe that man everything for these collabs!
"Give me some tips to forget you" - this line hitted hard. When you are so desperate for a way out you need to ask help to the very person who've put you in that position.
Spot on
THIS 😭
I asked my ex (physical abuser I was still in love with at the time) how long it was going to hurt as bad as it did when he said I wasn't loved anymore, after 9 years. It's like the cardigan video scene where she is flailing for anything to hold onto. I told him it felt like Inwas falling down a well with no bottom. I have my answer now. It took a little over 3 years, pandemic plus one.
. Hope ur recovery road is easier now. My heart to ur heart. Physical abusers are so hard to leave so hard to love so hard to hate. So hard to leave.
So
Hard
To
Leave.
Thank God
We finally left
Regardless the catalyst that catapulted
Our dumb asses.
People ask. How could u stay.
Why not leave.
Can u answer that question?
I've tried over the years now to answer that in truth.
I really felt and thought with all my being he would some day wake up and realize I was so good for him. To him. With him.
But in real time truth.
We were so volatile even just in the same space. Not to mention a marriage life.
Miserable was the word is the word that comes to mind looking back , looking inside.
I fou d an old journal.that I'd kept for the better part of 23 years.
Holy shit batman 😢 almost RVRRY ENTRT has the statement in some frame of words " why doesn't he love me like u love him"
I could not see from my perspective. So blind
So stupidly believing I could love both of us enough to help him not want to hit me. Over and over and over again. For any little reason.
Hit me again mother fkr. Do u feel more like a man?
Id dream id kill him bury hos parts but id always be discovered. And my only emotion was damnit ingotncought. No remorse. None.
I would pray and ask god to let sharks eat him.or od pray he wouldnfall from scaffoldings at work and id get a settlement.
Now who the horrible person.😢
His fists made me who i am not.
My devotion kept him mean.
His stamina was relentless.
Thank you God for allowing me to escape.
I left 7 times
I went back to him out of pure loneliness 6 times.
The 7th time I had a plan a real plan.
He was working overseas. Fuking finally!!!
Girl I ran so fast
So fast.
I never stopped loving him
But in that same breath, I hated him so dam much it helped me stay gone.
Stay strong hunny. Please. Remember.
Every day above ground is a good day. And every day u don't have fist in ur face is a perfect day.
Stay away. Will it.
I believe in u.
As a woman too I know
And if u know , u know.
Jump.
Jump as high and as far as ur Lil ass feet will take u. I guarantee God will catch u with his GRACE.

Okay… wow! HER VOCALS. THE HARMONIES. This is for the Coney Island girlies.

They collab before. Coney Island Taylor’s first collaboration with The National and one of the members of The National, Aaron Desner, produced a lot of Taylor’s song.

I've seen the National in concert 4 times. I would NEVER have thought these two would collaborate--but its magical!!!
Aaron produced Taylor's ''Folklore'' and ''Evermore'' albums. They are as stunning as this track.
I love Midnights but Evermore and Folklore bring out soo much from Taylor I love when we can actually hear her emotions in her songs. In love with this song and renegade as well 🥰
Renegade,Coney Island and the Alcott supremacy❤️
I just love these trio😭😭😭
Taylor's voice always makes me feel like she sing for portraying my untold stories 🙃🖤
Their voices compliment each other so well. Coney Island is a slap to my heart every time I hear it.
Coney Island is like that novel you read alone when you're sitting in front of an ocean. It's perfect.

Petition for The National and Taylor to make more songs like these because it’s pure brilliance!🤍💞🤍
I would never would have put them together but they are genuinely a magnificent combination - they complement each other perfectly
Thanks to The National I started to admire Taylor because they promoted folklore during the pandemic. I love both of them so much now
Taylor wrote another album''Evermore with Aaron, that album is just as great as Folklore
Yes!! Evermore actually features the National on "Coney Island" it's SO GOOD!! If you like this song you should definitely give it a shot. The whole entire album is so good 🧡

the way their voices complement each other so well is incredible! this song is for the exile stans, the coney island girlies, the evermore stans!
So this is what perfection sounds like?? It’s just so heartbreakingly peaceful. Like Coney Island and Evermore had a musical love child.
Wow, this is a lyrical masterpiece. Hands down one of the best TS collabs and her finest writing. I mean... 'Everything's that's mine is a landmine' just got me emotional and by the end of the song I found myself SOBBING
The exact same part got me too and I was also crying by the end of it 😅 I feel like this has come from her head and heart too 💔
**Thought I should add that I'm aware that Matt wrote the majority of the song other than Taylors parts, I just mean it sounds like something that would come from her head and heart 💔
You do understand her writing contribution on this song is minimal, right? She's the third co-writer in listing. She contributed probably a majority of the lines she sung or maybe not even that.
@iKazed, yes from interviews with the band, I believe I understand that Matt wrote the song, they sent it off to Taylor, and a few hours later she sent it back with her sections written. I feel pretty sure she wrote all the lines she sings solo, mostly because they contrast so strongly to the way Matt writes. I relate to his lyrics because they are heavily about spending decades with one person, and the pervasive sense of personal failure that comes from trying to be something that you can’t pull off, and failing over and over. Taylor’s lyrics contrast for me because they are more oriented toward a relationship falling apart and ending...”give me some tips to forget you” being the most obvious. Even when Matt is singing about endings, it’s different after decades. “There’ll come a time I want to know I was here.”
But on the other matter of credit, yes. I understand fans who absolutely love Taylor, but I always hope they will acknowledge the people she collaborates with too, because the world is full of great musicians to discover. (I came to Folklore and Evermore via Aaron.)
There were lots of Taylor fans saying “thanks for turning me on to Big Red Machine,” and I thought that was great. I was less comfortable with the reactions I read to the “featuring TS” version of Gasoline by Haim. I was hoping that the comments would suggest that TS fans noticed Haim, and I from what I read, I wasn’t sure if they did. And since that was an alternate mix, there really wasn’t any way you could like that song and not have it mean you liked Haim’s work.
@@jimwilliams3816 totally! I fully appreciate both TS and The National;l. In fact, I grew to love the band when they collaborated with her on her evermore album. And I'm fully aware that she wrote probably only her lines in the song - and I just pointed out how beautiful and how Swift-ish they sounded but Matt's writing on this one is also phenomenal. I didn't mean to offend anyone and I didn't mean to point out that she wrote the whole song. It's 100% kudos to the National, but Taylor's parts are also so good.
Broke down crying when Taylor sang - Cause I love this curse on our house!!! Oh this continues the Coney Island story for me!! Taylor's vocals are haunting - it is a haunting melody, sliding in your thoughts that makes you feel broken yet complete somehow. Beautiful beautiful. Matt's and Taylor's voices fir together like they were TAYlored to be ❤
It does feel like a line for the Lover house doesn't it?
@@mayzcorn27 I didn't want to write it but you said it!!!! I am not even aware of the timeline, but it hits home. Also considering it revolves around Matt and his wife but at the same time, definitely reminds of the Lover house - especially the way she sings
Perfectly said! ❤
I actually thought about Ivy and the line "my house of stone you're ivy grows"
This song is soooo underated why is this masterpiece in the vault of all her songs when it’s like SO on top ✨
This song is the Nationals but I agree Taylor's best songs are never made singles. It's been this way since the beginning.
Fucking stunning.
I love their voices together. Just like with Bon Iver, their deep registers go with her light and almost angelic tone of voice so perfectly.
😍
I love the call-and-response sound of the song and how bittersweet the arrangement of their voices sounds together. Reminds me of exile in a beautiful way.
Fan fact: Taylor wrote her own part of this song in 20 minutes:))
She is a MASTERMIND♡♡♡
Never been a fan of hers (I am 56 years old) but have to admit that in the last few years she really has become an "artist," with excellent lyric-writing abilities and ever-improving albums. I hear her concerts are 3+ hour events like Springsteen. That's amazing. Major respect for who she has become.
@@rufuspipemos Definitely. She is a real artist.
Thank you for expressing your opinion in this way:)
@@rufuspipemos she played 44 songs this tour! It’s so much fun. The best concert I ever been to
This is an absolute masterpiece. So beautiful, their voices together, exquisite.
One of the most beautiful modern day duets, that's pure genius by the National, @taylorswift and @aarondessner! The way Taylor manages to weave back and forth first harmony, then back up, then the dueling, ultimately fueling a goosebumps crescendo is nothing short of genius because most duets have solo and Co sections, the singing and narrative doesn't weave back and forth as much. For a sad that's heart melting and uplifting at the same time - hats off! I've been hearing on repeat for hours, it's so energizing!
They should make an entire album together. Their voices blend so well.
taylor’s backing vocals are so calming 😭
INSTANT classic. I rarely enjoy duets, so for me to say that this is now one of my all time favorite songs is saying a lot. Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of art with me ❤
My day was terrible, and listening to this collaboration significantly brightened it up. Thank you for such tremendous art
When they sing together, it creates an experience beyond just listening, it’s a full religious experience
"I love this curse on our house" 🥺😭 Chills
I haven't stop listening to it for the past hour and it gets better with every listen
God I wasn’t ready to be so emotional 😭 Such a beautiful harmony
Sameee
If there were a third folk album after Midnights i would be thrilled to listen to it!
This genre of songs in which Taylor and other artist talk in a back and forth expresing all their anxiety and questions is my favorite one
I really get why Taylor likes this band and this guy's voice so much. I liked it the first listen, but it gets even better every time. Subtle, yet impactful.
That happens pretty much all the time with The National. They are masters of the subtle slow-burn
OMG! Taylor just NAILED IT AGAIN! Gorgeous vocals, beautiful, sad song but the way the talk to each other is AMAZE! I love this collab! With Aaron on the piano. WE ALL LOVE YOU SO JUCH TAYLOR & The National!🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💗💗💗💗💗💗💙💙💙💙❣️❣️❣️
🥺🥺🙏💝
this is so good omg 😭 the way their voices blend in with each others oh my gosh 🫶🏾🫶🏾 i love them
Wow , mother’s backing vocals are heavenly 😊 and the way their voices blend ….
Coney Island is one of my favorite songs like ever ... This is just what my soul needs. If The National and Taylor had an album it would be too much for this world. ✨❤️
This is honestly one of the most breathtaking and pure things I have ever heard. Superior lyrics and layering!! Taylor And the national Have made a legend in this song right here
matt&taylor‘s voice is so harmonious 🖤🖤🖤this song’s such a beautiful masterpiece
the national with taylor never disappoints
🥺🥺💝🙏
Their voices just blend so well❤
🥺🥺🙏💝
This song just hits you in the heart strings. The Nationals + Taylor Swift = Masterpiece 😊
I’ll ruin it over and over….I love you, it’s ruining my life..
I tell you my problems
Have I become one of your problems?
Such a beautiful parallel, Taylor and The National together always kill it together
The lyrics are absolutely beautiful. Wow. I am so proud of this collaboration! God Bless you all.
The National, Aaron, and jack are her musical soulmates! 😭❤
Fact
mirrorball in your pfp lol T__________________T
"CUZ I LOVE THIS CURSE ON OUR HOUSE" Damn🔥. I Know Taylor is proud of this lyric.
Massive massive fan of the National have loved them for years. They always speak right to my heart. I always thought I was too cool to like Taylor Swift until I listen to her new album and the reason is is because I heard a song that was great but I knew it was produced by one of the Nationals. You cant deny this is a fabulous song. . See you guys next time you play Boston, MA✌🍀🤓💃
This is perfect! Their voices blend in really well omg
Another masterpiece, TAYLOR and The Nacional never disappoint.
It's national
😂
@@tooprandineshkumar3338 it was a typo
@@tooprandineshkumar3338its French like le big mac
@@Stringer13ell what
@@bekkah1713 yep
I rarely listen to songs where Taylor is a feature but pretty much only back vocals, but holy cow. I finally have one I LOVE
Oh wow... Sitting at work listening to this and I have to hold back my tears!!! What a song!!!!❤❤❤
Gave me chills. Their voices together are indescribably beautiful. Back to the woods
Every time taylor does a song with the national,,I'm in folklore and evermore era.
I think this is a collab that back in time we would never imagine from Taylor, but they totally nailed it! Love it❤
Its the best collab since she did Stinkfist
Since the song was announced, I've been so curious how it sounds like, but all i know is their Collab is always so great...so for sure this one will also be another masterpiece!🌟
Edit: Ok guys it was really worth the wait, i am really in love with this song, Taylor's vocals make this even more beautiful, but both have worked really well for this one..🥹❤️
I cant get over this song, loved it from the very first listen, their voices together is sth else, piano is perfect 🤯Matts deep voice is soooo good but Taylor sounds like heaven, shes getting me emotional every time i listen to this song. Feel like its getting better every time i hear it
Couple of months now but I'm still loving this...Indy Taylor with The National may it never end.
what a beautiful (and painful) song. I'm in tears 🥺🥺🥺
I'm so excited about this album!!, it hasn't been a good few days and it's really saving me from having an emotional breakdown
Sending love to you!
Sending you lots of love and light ✨
this is truly a perfect song.
36 seconds in and i’m already emotional??? wow
coney island and the alcott are the reasons of why we need a whole taylor and the national album
This song broke me. The vocals are insane together and I'm crying its beautiful.
This sounds straight out of the folklore/evermore forest! ABSOLUTELY. OBSESSED. 💗
ITS SOO GOOD, Taylor voice is so pretty and the way they go back and forth is beautiful 🫶🏽🫶🏽
I love this song. Not really a Taylor fan. Heard it on the radio and fell in love. Both voices complement each other so well. Great lyrics
Love and abet, is lyric that gets me. Through my dad's recovery from alcoholism and my later therapy for depression, anxiety, and PTSD, I've learned a lot about codependency and that's what Taylor is referencing in here. Really key to song IMHO, two people who know they are bad for each other yet keep cycle of reconnecting and breaking up.
Im on first listen but so far this really feels like a spiritual successor to The Last Time and I love nit
**it lol
And yet again, a masterpiece is made!!
If you wouldve told me Taylor would get into the indie/indie rock sound since 2020 and is still going strong in that sound in 2023 back in like lover era, I wouldn’t have believe you fr.
Blondie can do anything and I feel this is what she excels at fr
I'd love for her to return to folklore/evermore era once again. If not for a full album, then at least a couple of songs on the new album whenever she puts it out. I feel like folklore/evermore established her as an innovative, powerful singer and songwritter who doesn't excel only at commercially successful, catchy pop songs.
@@realisticguy569 as long as Taylor keep working together with Aaron, im sure she will creat one or two folklorian vibes song in her future new album. Midnight has one, The Great War
@Agnar Juan Janitra I love the Great War song so so much, but I find folklore-evermore vibes more in Sweet Nothing, Labyrinth, and Dear Reader when it comes to Midnights album.
“give me some tips to forget you” still not over this line
im literally crying, i need a full the national x taylor swift collab album
