If there is one thing Taylor Swift is good at, it’s being a beautiful lyricist. She has this magnificent power in songwriting that just makes you feel emotions so profoundly. As it’s getting colder in Toronto and the days are getting shorter, you can’t help but want to cuddle with your significant other, or in other cases, wish you had someone to be with. This playlist “sweet nothing :(” will remind you of the beauty of being in love. We all know Taylor has had her fair share of heartbreaks and bad relationships so listening to her uplifting music about love is always a mood changer. These are some of my favourite songs from the playlist:
- “Sweet Nothing” Midnights (3am Edition)
-
“Sweet Nothing” is a track on Taylor’s latest album, Midnights (3am Edition), which was released over a month ago. This song was written with her boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, as a way to describe their love and passion in their relationship. The song creates a delicate feeling with a piano playing in the background, that reflects their relationship, and is the perfect way to describe feeling content and valued.
“On the way home, I wrote a poem, you say, “what a mind” this happens all the time.”
- “You Are In Love” 1989 (Deluxe)
-
“You Are In Love” is a track dedicated to sharing what it is like being in a healthy and stable relationship with your partner. Through this song, Taylor describes the feeling of being in love and all of the little things that follow it. She uses a very serene voice when singing this song as she is commenting on what a day to day basis would look like when you are in love.
“One night, he wakes, strange look on his face, pauses, then says, “you’re my best friend”, and you knew what it was, he is in love.”
- “Begin Again (Taylor’s Version)” Red (Taylor’s Version)
-
“Begin Again (Taylor’s Version)” is a track from Red (Taylor’s Version) that was re-released over a year ago. This song talks about the feeling of being so hurt in a past relationship that you lose all hope for the future until you try again. She talks about how she met someone who finally knew how to treat her right and she felt she could finally forget the past and fall in love again. It values the strength of being fearless and letting yourself fall again for the right person.
“But you start to talk about the movies that your family watches every single Christmas and I want to talk about that and for the first time, what’s past is past.”
- “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” Fearless (Taylor’s Version)
-
“Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” is a track about being exactly what the title says, fearless. Forget all the times you’ve had your heart broken or you’ve had failed relationships and embrace love for what it really is. After coming out of a painful relationship, it is hard to trust anyone else, especially falling in love with someone again. She explains through this song to let things happen the way they are supposed to, life is too short to live with fear.
“And I don’t know why but with you I’d dance in a storm in my best dress, fearless.”
- “invisible string” folklore (deluxe version)
-
“Invisible string” is a track about believing in fate when it comes to finding the right person. She describes how she believes it was destiny that led her to her current boyfriend. The song is cute and describes the feeling of finally seeing things fall into place, just the way they are supposed to.
“Time, curious time, gave me no compasses, gave me no signs. Were there clues I didn’t see? And isn’t it just so pretty to think all along there was some invisible string tying you to me?”
- “Paris” Midnights (3am Edition)
-
“Paris”, which is also a track from her latest album, is an upbeat song that describes the feeling of being so in love that nothing else matters. She describes being so happy in your relationship that you forget everything else because you just want to focus on your life with your significant other and making the most memories you can with them. In comparison to other romantic songs of hers, this one is more upbeat instead of a traditional ballad.
“I’m so in love that I might stop breathing.”
- “Daylight” Lover
-
“Daylight” is a track from Taylor’s Lover album which, as you can tell, is an album about being in love. This song is about finally finding the right person that brightens your day instead of dimming it; someone you are finally happy to talk to and share memories with rather than someone who is constantly bringing you down. The song acknowledges that things always turn out the way they are supposed to.
“I once believed love would be (burning red) but it’s golden like daylight.”
Despite all of her heartbreak anthems, Taylor is a softie on the inside. These songs make you feel butterflies and remind you of the unique feeling of being in love. Be sure to listen to this playlist whenever you find yourself doubting love.
