When I was a little girl, I didn't know why my grandfather was the way he was. He was always apart from us. drinking. alone. One time he called me over while I was playing outside with my cousins in my grandparents house. He never spoke so this was startling. I sat next to him and he began to tell me a story about boats and bullets and having to crawl up a beach. He said if you lifted your head up the bullets would take it off. He said he could only try to bury himself in the sand and he began to dig desperately, he told me. Then he started crying and I was in shock. I had never known a man to cry. But he rocked back and forth and continued...he told me when he was digging he found a rosary in the sand. He cried and showed me a rosary. Then he stayed quiet and stopped talking and just looked and held the rosary as I slunk away from what I thought was a crazy man. I was so little. Now as an adult I understand. He was a Normandy D Day survivor. My mom told me later what it meant. I never knew anything about him but that. I know he stayed there, even if he returned home. I know he lost his mind and heart there. This song brings back my grandfather's memory so vividly. Now I cry too, for his tears were so real, and that's all I ever knew of him. edit: Thank you to the doctors, nurses, and all medics who stood heroically against horrific circumstances and gave so much to bring our loved ones home. From the waves off the beaches of Normandy and the South Pacific to the waves of Covid we are still battling...thank you with all my heart.
she did not write this gem for people to be calling it the worst song on folklore. it singlehandedly immortalizes the pandemic and she does it with such compassion and grace and i love her.
As a doctor, the line - something med school did not cover - breaks me. It was mid pandemic when this came out and I was exhausted. It was…surreal. It’s one of my favourite TS songs.
Having gone about a decade ago, they only touched upon it. It's definitely something that should be more thoroughly covered. We were all told about the high rates of divorce, mental illness, etc., but no real solutions or ways to deal with any of that was ever really offered.
I hope you are doing well and are healing from the trauma of all the trauma. You guys are my heroes, along with all the heroes who heroed when the call came.
As a nurse the line “someone’s daughter someone’s mother” and “hold your hand through plastic now” makes me tear up every time, this song is so beautifully written and Taylor gets her point across so well, it’s very difficult in the current circumstances and I am so proud of all my fellow healthcare workers for everything they have sacrificed and gone through during this pandemic ❤️ we will all get through this together
Wow! This is amazing. My husband’s mother passed away from Covid in May with a nurse holding her hand. We of course couldn’t be there. The nurses and doctors were incredible and so brave. I’ll always be thankful. I’m a nurse as well, and I really learned a lot when I was on the other side. Beautiful song!!
“Something med school did not cover” “doc I think she’s crashing out” as a nurse this hit home for me. I work on a Covid floor and see lives flip upside down everyday. Could not help but cry.😭
the first verse is about his grandfather who was in military while the second is about Pandemic. The similarity between these two is that many lives were lost. Both soldiers and medical workers witnessed too many people “breathing out”. You don’t have enough time to sleep both on battlefield and in hospital, but the only thing that can pacify your soul after seeing all those terrifying scenes is a dream about a greater power can come to the rescue. I feel extremely overwhelmed by this song because I lost a friend to illness, something in life really can’t make sense to me. While this is an absolutely incredible song, it’s too heavy for me to listen to.
THIS SONG IS TO HONOR ALL THE SOLDIERS, NURSES, MEDICS, DOCTORS OUT THERE WHO ARE SERVING FOR THEIR COUNTRY, WHO RISK THEIR OWN LIVES TO SAVE OTHERS, WHO WORK ALL DAY TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE AND MAYBE SADLY LOST THEIR LIVES, BUT WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. YOU ARE ALL HEROES. THIS IS FOR YOU. IN HONOR. THANK YOU.
Don't forget the service crew, people that work at groceries, delivery people, and garbage collectors!!! and the school staff too theyre trying their best to help us keep up with education as much as possible!
I'm almost an adult man but Taylor's songs are amazing. Well, music is meant to be appreciated by everyone, not by specific genders or what. When music hits, it hits.
“Something med school did not cover, someone’s daughter, someone’s mother” thank you Taylor for memorializing the loss that too many are feeling around the world right now in this beautiful song. Love and thanks to all the healthcare heroes of the pandemic ❤️
as a first year doctor in NYC during the time of COVID, this “historical” song is something cut out of a contemporary time. It is lovely as a “story handed down” that this song is about Taylor’s veteran grandfather, but the beauty of music (especially Taylor’s) is that a song can be interpreted one’s own way. This song makes my experience feel seen in melody and really meant a lot to me to translate this song to my experience (and that of many others who fought COVID on the frontlines). “Something med school did not cover Someone's daughter, someone's mother Holds your hand through plastic now ‘Doc, I think she's crashing out’ And some things you just can't speak about Only twenty minutes to sleep But you dream of some epiphany Just one single glimpse of relief To make some sense of what you've seen With you I serve, with you I fall down, down Watch you breathe in, watch you breathing out, out” ... could literally be a page from my diary the past few months that found me unprepared but full of unforgettable meaning. So grateful for this gorgeous album 🤧♥️
drippingmascara hi Gen, just as a side note, I just saw this comment and instantly remember you so well and reading Dripping Mascara as a young teen - I just wanted to thank you for your service on the front line - like Taylor, your stories and words have left an impression on your readers as well :)
Yusra Eek your comment made me tear up, Yusra!! 🤧♥️ What a small world. Thank you so much for reading ‘Dripping Mascara’ and your incredible, heartwarming words. I can’t express how much this melted me - thank you!! 😭 I’m lucky to have readers and a Mascarette fam that cherished the work of my heart. I’ve been quiet on instagram and stuff but projects are ongoing and I’ll be announcing them when it’s the right time, after some of the busy-ness settles down. Hugs!!
Taylor is a genius! And yes, you’re totally right everyone interprets the song differently, this comment caught my attention, along with your story, and I wanna say the biggest thank you ever, I know you must feel, confused, tired, scared, stressed, no one could’ve seen this virus coming, and it’s real hero’s like you I salute, thank you for doing your job, you deserve the world! And I am so glad this song speaks to you and gives you light and relief in times of chaos. You are a hero! Never forget that. ✊🏻😊❤️
Do you ever think that when Taylor writes certain lines she just cries at what she's created? Some lines in her songs instantly put me to tears. I wonder if she feels the same.
"Only twenty minutes to sleep, but you dream of some epiphany." I was bawling when this line was sung because I literally just had a quick nap after a very tiring day at work. Every time I get a little bit tired, I am reminded of last year when I used to regularly visit the hospital due to my cancer diagnosis. I'm glad I'm in a much better state now, but every now and then, I grieve at my past and the uncertain future. My mood was flat and terrible these couple of days, but I'm finally able to cry today while listening to this song. The sadness still lingers but it feels so liberating. Thanks, Taylor.
@@buddhigunasena2403 Past can't be just past it's more than that, it's part of you, it's you, yes we must learn from our past and know how to manage it to better our present and live happily, but trying to reduce it to just past wouldn't help your present that's like running from yourself and will likely not end well for you.
"only 20 minutes to sleep, but you dream of some epiphany"...this epidemic has been so hard on many essential workers..healthcare, sanitation workers, truckers, veterinarians, on and on. I know many who can relate to this..it seems never ending and so very draining.
Andrew A I was gonna say, unless a lot of people are asleep in the classes we teach… 😂 Many med schools now role play this, too. (That said, as I’m sure you know, no matter how much we try to prepare people, nothing is like the first time.)
I remember when the album came out in the midst of the pandemic I was in my final year of high school and I wanted to study medicine so when I heard the line "something med school did not cover" I just started crying. For some reason this song gave me the motivation to do my best at school, and now I’m a second year medical student with a dream of becoming a psychiatrist. Thank you Taylor.
Comparing the soldiers in the Battle of Guadalcanal (her grandfather) to the battle against COVID (doctors, nurses, first responders). The 20 minutes of sleep between shifts, between gunfights....it’s really beautiful. She’s a songwriting genius.
“To make some sense of what you’ve seen.” Multiple deaths in a day, families grieving thru the phone and not seeing their loved ones at their last breath due to this pandemic. Hits home to me. Never in my life I thought I would be in the frontlines. Thank you, Taylor for honoring the unsung heroes.
I feel like this is showing the parallel of soldiers in WWII (her personal story) and the front line workers now. She relates our past heroes and our present day ones, both dealing with immense trauma and displaying immense courage & integrity.
"Something med school did not cover, Someone's daughter, someone's mother. Holds your hand through plastic now. Doc, I think she's crashing out." For all the first line workers who did their best to save someone's loved one and feeling their heart break when they couldn't. Sending love ❤️
It is incridible how this song has grown in me. At my first listens, this was one of my least favorites but now I’m totally in love Anybody else feel the same??
Yes that’s the exact same for me! After listening to her record and talk about it in the long pond studio sessions, I came back to listen to it and know I’m in love 😍
Who else is here before folklore wins 'Album of the Year'? edit: OMG i cant believe i predicted this since folklore's release lol, I'M SO SO SOO HAPPY FOR TAYLOR and i LOVE SEEING THAT SMILE IN HER FACE AFTER GRAMMYS IGNORED HER FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS 😭🥺🥺
I'll bet everything that this album will skyrocket in fame in win album of the year, if it doesn't, people really don't know what they're talking about.
As a doctor myself and having faced the calamity that is COVID is, this hits close to home. Especially “someone’s daughter..” All those casualty rush hours just flashed through my mind. I hope we all find peace in this time of chaos.
The way she pulled a parallel between soldiers and doctors....I can't- Ive heard people saying it, but girl she used to metaphor in the song..... actually, the song IS the metaphor ❤️
Just crying... my dad passes away because of Covid-19 ( after 22 days in the hospital, 3 months ago ) and I could see myself in this beautiful, sad, touching song... I remember when I wake up after dreaming about him as if everything, for some incredible reason, was a misunderstood and he still alive, so the reality just hits me too hard. For me, Taylor realizes that feeling in this song, so it makes me cry...despite being absolutely beautiful. (My English is a work is progress, so...😅) I loved the song 😊❤🇧🇷
Considering what the song is about and when it's written, I noticed the beat under the song, especially audible at the end, sounds very much like a hospital machine.
I'd never in my life ever listen to Taylor Swift.....I listen to all kinds of music, in 63 years I never had a song that just absolutely broke my heart like that, really brought something outta me , that had been hidden away for a long time. I LOVE THIS SONG.
Taylor wrote the song, he just aided in the instrumentation. Taylor has said she gives co-writing credits even if it was just an instrumental choice made by someone else
As a doctor, this gives me goosebumps The sudden rise in intonation in the verses sounds like those soldier marching chants And the heart sounds S1 S2 going off at the end Taylor is a genius
I bawled my eyes out with this one. The most important person in my life passed away this year and it was the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. I thought you would get better but life had other plans. I miss you every day and I'll love you for always.
I'm so sorry for your loss. My mother passed away over two years ago and I was with her as she took her last breath. This just ripped my heart apart and I started sobbing. It captures that feeling very well.
I totally get this. My great-grandfather is in hospice right now, probably won’t last through next week.... He’s 99, so I know he’s lived a long life, but I am gonna miss him, and him going NOW is just hitting me hard.
I'm starting to study medicine in a couple months as I forever dreamed of, the whole second verse hits me so hard. This song has been my sleeping lullaby for a year now.
1. Taylor Swift - The Country Girl 2. Fearless - The Princess 3. Speak Now - The Teenage Girl 4. Red - A Woman In Love 5. 1989 - The Party Girl 6. Reputation - Bad Girl 7. Lover - The Lover 8. Folklore - A Wise Woman
I Agree but switch speak now and red,I. Speak now she is totally in love and in red she is totally in break up mood so I think that more goes to teenage - or I am wrong
When I heard the line "With you I serve, with you I fall down." It literally just hit me. I feel like this song is for all the frontliners out there, especially for the doctors and nurses who put a lot of sacrifice and dedicated their lives to serve the people of their country during this pandemic.
As someone whose unit was a COVID unit for awhile, the “someone’s daughter someone’s mother” and “hold your hand through plastic now” really gets me every time. For anyone who lost someone to COVID, I'm so sorry. You have my thoughts and prayers
I feel like Taylor just changed the karmic direction in a positive way for the planet with this album. From here on out things will be better. I feel it.
I feel like this song definitely has many references and relations to what’s happening now in the world - people sadly and unfortunately dying due to COVID and doctors and nurses helping and treating patients. This song makes me so emotional and especially as a nursing student. I love the lyric “with I serve, with you I fall down” and “watch you breath in, watch you breathing out.” Nurses are always there for their patients, with every last breathe♥️
Mareeen14 that’s probably why the comment says it has many references and relations. That’s the beauty of music and lyrics. It means something different to each individual. It may have been written about her grandfather but it’s pretty close to what’s happening right now in our world
A lot of people really dislike this song and I don’t understand. It’s my second favorite on Folklore. The melody is so beautiful and the lyrics are so impactful.
It's because it's not catchy or something you can dance to? It's also not something you scream in tears for. But honestly it's my favorite one in Folklore for me.
The way the song is mellow, almost in a lullaby manor, shows that this song was meant to calm the listener. Almost as if to ease their stress. Like a first responder that can't catch a couple minutes of sleep. Taylor Swift is an absolute genius.
yes i dont think she wanted it to be intense for us to listen to especially in these times. im happy she took this into account, she still made this as emotional as ever tho. :)
This song is one of the reason why Taylor gets her Album Of the Year at Grammy for the third time, nothing to say, a perfect album that she has ever made!!
my grandpa is struggling with cancer and he will not get better. He is taking every treatment tho to extend his life because he isn't done with it yet. We can see him overthinking everything. This song reminds me of my grandpa overthinking life. Looking for a epiphany. Trying to find the reason why this is happening to him and finding peace with it.
When Aaron Dessner explained "epiphany" in an interview. The lyrics "something med school did not cover Someone's daughter, someone's mother Hold your hands through plastic now, Doc i think she's passing out and somethings you just can't speak about" like medical school teaches you how to save a person's life, what medical process to do after someone passes away but it doesn't teaches you what to do when someone's passing in front of you, how to control urslef when someone's mother or someone's daughter is taking their last breath. And u can't speak about them. Really deep. Love epiphany more than ever now♡
And they we she ties that to combat soldiers who can't talk about what they saw to anyone who was not there is sheer brilliance...... This is song is an absolute masterpiece both lyrically and how she performs it..... If you want an anthem for these times it is this song...
I was a Taylor Swift fan up until 2014 with my favourite songs being sparks fly, blank space and a few others. And after that I started hating her music. But now, she has drawn me back.
Folklore is a masterpiece that you can listen to in any season, but it just feels more special when it's raining outside and you're playing this album while slowly sipping hot cocoa beside your window, pondering about what has been and what could be. Happy anniversary to Grammy 2020's Album of the Year, and actually one of the best albums of all time.
I’m here to listen to this masterpiece after 4 years and found your comment. Taylor just won Grammy 2024’s Album of the Year with Midnights some days ago, thought I’d say Happy anniversary to Grammy 2020’s AOTY too. Folklore really is such a comforting heartbreaking gem, almost a time-capsule to which i attached so many feelings
These are the deepest lyrics she may have ever written. Legacy defining song and a true measure of what level of a songwriter she really is. Taylor Swift is gifted. Is there any questioning that now, after this?
(4 the time being) i agree*. "There´s not such a great man without a great woman right by his side" (don´t remember who said it). There´s been a burst, a light trying to guide blinded men. In many aspects of life time for equality. Art is one of them. Let them be heard in this particular dull moments. Man´s intelligence is nothing without their wisdom. Mysterious, men and women are. Women are a gazillion times more mysterious but a jewel that has to carve herself from the rough.
(*) To miss Siobhan Kendal-Gre: The old guys repeating themselves. What a drag. But all this comes from that. Someone said: no one gives Mr. Aaron Dessner credit for co-writing and producing this beautiful masterpiece. Woman and man marching along for the same purpose side by side. You can find them creating shoulder to shoulder by going abroad the regular industry cannons and magazines that support them. For the industry it is money that counts not reason or intellect or beauty, feelings, sence. Miss Swift has been set free from contract & freed she has shown us how of a great musician she really is. Nro., 1.
Listening to this while making face shields for doctors and nurses at my local hospital. To all medical personnel who see this, thank you for your hard work over the past year. Please say safe and stay healthy.
I DONT FREAKING UNDERSTAND WHY TAYLOR HAS HATERS SHE SO NICE AND MAKES PEACEFUL SONGS EMOTIONAL ONES AND LOVE ONES THERE JUST JEALOUS Edit: sorry for caps
Man... I really think this is for the patient, their family, doctor, or nurses that fighting in for their life. That noise at the ending part seems like a heart rate machine in the hospital. This is so damn heartbreaking yet beautiful.
My wife is a respiratory therapist that operates the ventilators for COVID patients. The lyrics of this song can be seen in her face now when she comes home. We can't listen to it without tearing up.
Unpopular opinion, Epiphany is one of the best songs taylor has ever made. Its so gorgeous, its one of her only songs that's brought me to tears (the only other one i can think of is This is Me Trying... edit, okay a few others now too but THIS STILL STANDS Epiphany doesn't deserve the slander y'all.)
At 4:03 you can hear the heart beats of medical frontliners and the people who are suffering and fighting in this time of pandemic. This is really a great masterpiece.
the first part of the verse pictured somewhat soldiers crawling up a beach and one of their men is bleeding. it seems he can't survive. he has "served" with his comrades and "fell down" with them. the greatest thing about this song is how taylor made the brave soldiers similar with doctors and nurses by picturing them in the next verse. the similarity is emphasized by the chorus' repetition after each verse
Exactly and I know that this is for the soldiers but the lyrics match so perfectly for covid-19 doctors for example the line ‘Keep your helmet, keep your life son.’ For doctors could mean keep your equipment so you don’t get the virus and stay alive......the whole song is for all types of social workers. My mum being a doctor, this hits so hard in the feels.
Have you ever loved a song so much you cry when you hear/ sing it because it's just so relatable and you wouldn't know what you'll do in life without that song? This is how i feel about this song and about many more other songs Taylor has. I just cant explain in words how wonderful this artist is.
1989 : an angel is born Reputación : Revenge he wake up Lover :,Forgiveness and healing Acceptance Folklore : Magical release, pure tranquility forever in my heart thank you for being here
@@bennygaga449 I dont think the original comment specifically called this song is about her mother tho. Just the vibe and overall lyrics are so damn heartbreaking just like how SYGB in Lover.
I heard this song earlier this morning. Not being a fan of Taylor Swift I used Shazam to find out who was singing. Listened to it on Spotify later and still liked the melody and Taylor's voice. Then I read the meaning behind this song and every word hit me straight back in my heart. As nurse through this tough time all the faces of all the elderly patients I looked after and lost came back like a stabbing memory, all at once and I started crying. Not just the loss but coping with the ones surviving, trying to explain why they weren't allowed to see their families, promising that everything would be alright soon. Yes, we chose to work in healthcare but we weren't prepared to all this. "something med school did not cover".
Thank you SO much for what you do!, I can't start to imagine how hard it is, but you must know that we do not take it for granted and that what you do is incredibly important. ❤️
Your comment has me bawling. The sudden realization of just what you wonderful people have had to endure. All the while trying to remain hopeful for the people on the other end. With all the sincerity from my heart- Thank You! Thank you for all you have sacrificed. 🙏❤
I started listening to Taylor when I was 12, that means 8 years ago, and I can finally say that It's not me who grow up with her songs, she's the one who grows up, she's the one who changed, I discovered her when she was a young dreamy innocent country girl, and now I'm listening to a kind of lullaby writing by the mature lyrics queen "Taylor", and I'm proud of u Taylor, u can finally say that u r a princess who don't live anymore in a small town who reached the stars. All love to u queen❤️ Edit: thank u all for th likes, didn't expect that many of u share the same feelings😭❤️
Same. I was 14 when I first listened to Taylor and every album I saw leaps of her growth. She never fails to strike me with words. I am now turning 26. Those years with her music kept me sane.
Does anyone else think the instruments, especially at the end, kinda sound like the heart rate monitors in hospitals? Like because she was talking about breathing in & out and whatnot. It’s possible I’m imagining that, but if not...she’s so brilliant🤩
I'm lying in the ER right now, listening to this song over and over because it's like Taylor is holding my hand while I wait for answers. Thank you for being with me and us through this.
This song reminds me of my grandmother - a Canadian nurse who served in Italy during WWII. Can't imagine all that she saw, all that she never spoke about. She met my grandfather (a Canadian soldier) when he came to visit his injured friend.
epiphany: a moment when you suddenly feel that you understand, or suddenly become conscious of, something that is very important to you.
It's also a moment of absolute revelation
A moment of realirealization?
@@shrey549 kind of, it's like when you understand something entirely, each minimal detail

People are calling it the worst song on folklore?? Never heard that, but it's awful if it's happening
just bcs it's their least fav song in the album doesn't mean they immortalize the pandemic
best song imo
Folklore is my favorite album and this song is my least favorite on the album but I still love it so much
in my opinion it’s one of the best songs on folklore

I agree, this seems so personal and just not for anyone? Ykwim? This is just for herself and us, her fans

Personally, this album gave me a throwback to her 2006-2010 music (country), but in a calm style

I feel extremely overwhelmed by this song because I lost a friend to illness, something in life really can’t make sense to me. While this is an absolutely incredible song, it’s too heavy for me to listen to.
This made me tear up.. I didnt realize about that
Thank you ... This is by far the best comment to me, likes can't define this feeling
They’re both wars, but of different kinds.
thank you for the explanation
I'm picturing the same thing when I'm listening to this song. It's just beautiful.
THIS SONG IS TO HONOR ALL THE SOLDIERS, NURSES, MEDICS, DOCTORS OUT THERE

WHO WORK ALL DAY TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE
AND MAYBE SADLY LOST THEIR LIVES, BUT WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

I don't care what people say, i'm a 24 year old boy and this song shuts me up. I have no words, men have emotions, too, i guess..
dont be ashamed feeling like this, i love how she can make everyone feel some sort of emotion in her songs. but this one hits hard.
👍Man are human too people forget that sometimes
I'm almost an adult man but Taylor's songs are amazing. Well, music is meant to be appreciated by everyone, not by specific genders or what. When music hits, it hits.

Thank you for your service. You are appreciated. I'm so glad she wrote this song. Probably the most important song on the album.
Thank you for risking ur life for us... I hope u stay safe💓😁
This is like if “Archer” and “Daylight” had a baby and I’m here for it
And love story of BBC version
Brilliant!
Yes! The way her voice sounds in her first words I imediatly thought of "Archer"
That's what I thought
Agreed!
“Something med school did not cover, someone’s daughter, someone’s mother” thank you Taylor for memorializing the loss that too many are feeling around the world right now in this beautiful song. Love and thanks to all the healthcare heroes of the pandemic ❤️
Matan LK This made me 😭
Yes! I was thinking the same
Umm.. someone's daughter* 😅
yas girl....
ITS ABOUR HER MOM
Right now sitting in the shelter in Ukraine. Hearing all explosions and sirens, this song totally broke my heart.
I am SO sorry. You're amazing. Stay strong.
Stay strong ❤️
I pray for you and Ukraine. stay strong.
please stay safe ans strong hope for the for you and Ukraine
Power to you and others around & with you!~💛
as a first year doctor in NYC during the time of COVID, this “historical” song is something cut out of a contemporary time. It is lovely as a “story handed down” that this song is about Taylor’s veteran grandfather, but the beauty of music (especially Taylor’s) is that a song can be interpreted one’s own way.
This song makes my experience feel seen in melody and really meant a lot to me to translate this song to my experience (and that of many others who fought COVID on the frontlines).
“Something med school did not cover
Someone's daughter, someone's mother
Holds your hand through plastic now
‘Doc, I think she's crashing out’
And some things you just can't speak about
Only twenty minutes to sleep
But you dream of some epiphany
Just one single glimpse of relief
To make some sense of what you've seen
With you I serve, with you I fall down, down
Watch you breathe in, watch you breathing out, out”
... could literally be a page from my diary the past few months that found me unprepared but full of unforgettable meaning. So grateful for this gorgeous album 🤧♥️
drippingmascara hi Gen, just as a side note, I just saw this comment and instantly remember you so well and reading Dripping Mascara as a young teen - I just wanted to thank you for your service on the front line - like Taylor, your stories and words have left an impression on your readers as well :)
Yusra Eek your comment made me tear up, Yusra!! 🤧♥️ What a small world. Thank you so much for reading ‘Dripping Mascara’ and your incredible, heartwarming words. I can’t express how much this melted me - thank you!! 😭 I’m lucky to have readers and a Mascarette fam that cherished the work of my heart. I’ve been quiet on instagram and stuff but projects are ongoing and I’ll be announcing them when it’s the right time, after some of the busy-ness settles down. Hugs!!
Wow. It is wonderful that dreams and reality, art and life can come together such. I wish you strentgh there, hold on...
Taylor is a genius! And yes, you’re totally right everyone interprets the song differently, this comment caught my attention, along with your story, and I wanna say the biggest thank you ever, I know you must feel, confused, tired, scared, stressed, no one could’ve seen this virus coming, and it’s real hero’s like you I salute, thank you for doing your job, you deserve the world! And I am so glad this song speaks to you and gives you light and relief in times of chaos. You are a hero! Never forget that. ✊🏻😊❤️
Thanks for all your hard work 💜
Do you ever think that when Taylor writes certain lines she just cries at what she's created? Some lines in her songs instantly put me to tears. I wonder if she feels the same.
She once forgot that she wrote the beginning of “The Moment I Knew”!
I bet she does. I write, and some scenes I type through tears. (Whereas, some funny bits I laugh the loudest at.)
@@caratkate2860 I love that song, but it's really sad :(
I cry at “something med school did not cover, someone’s mother, someone’s daughter” it hits hard
I feel like hold your hand thru plastic now, doc I think she's crashing out might be about her Mom
"Only twenty minutes to sleep, but you dream of some epiphany."
I was bawling when this line was sung because I literally just had a quick nap after a very tiring day at work. Every time I get a little bit tired, I am reminded of last year when I used to regularly visit the hospital due to my cancer diagnosis. I'm glad I'm in a much better state now, but every now and then, I grieve at my past and the uncertain future. My mood was flat and terrible these couple of days, but I'm finally able to cry today while listening to this song. The sadness still lingers but it feels so liberating. Thanks, Taylor.
This is beautiful
💛🖤💛
Past is past. We must learn from the past and live in this very present moment happily. So there Will be no regrets.
@@buddhigunasena2403 Past can't be just past it's more than that, it's part of you, it's you, yes we must learn from our past and know how to manage it to better our present and live happily, but trying to reduce it to just past wouldn't help your present that's like running from yourself and will likely not end well for you.
you're so strong
this may be the most beautiful song taylor has ever written
It's up there with Ronan for being so beautiful as to be stark and raw.... It soothes and brings you to tears at the same time...
@@miguelangelverabravo4326 It's the one song she should perform at the Grammys
I think it is her most beautiful songs.
No Taylor song has made me cry so much. It’s so sad.
No it's not
That would be love story
Not this, this is mind numbingly dull
It's so bad it gave me a headache, sorry.
"Something med school did not cover. Someone's daughter, someone's mother holds your hand through plastic now. Doc, I think she's crashing out.." 💔
I also cried onto that when thinking Someone's daughter was Kobe's daughter. R.I.P.
"only 20 minutes to sleep, but you dream of some epiphany"...this epidemic has been so hard on many essential workers..healthcare, sanitation workers, truckers, veterinarians, on and on. I know many who can relate to this..it seems never ending and so very draining.
Great line, but med school definitely covers this ;-]
Andrew A I was gonna say, unless a lot of people are asleep in the classes we teach… 😂 Many med schools now role play this, too. (That said, as I’m sure you know, no matter how much we try to prepare people, nothing is like the first time.)
I scrolled to this comment as that lyric started
This is the type of song I’d listen to at 3am while staring at the ceiling and regretting all my life choices
Huhu :(
ouch 💔
Soo damn true
Same
exactly what i'm doing right now
Epiphany is the first, most important, reason why Folklore should win Album of the Year.
(Edit: I was right all along eheheh, my girl is a legend).
This is what I’ve been saying!! Most underrated song on folklore and possibly her entire discography. This song is so beautiful and so well done.
Yes
Yessssssssssss
Damn right son. I hope you are all safe❤️
@@lisakarlsson2134 yeah I hope you're safe too
Take care
I remember when the album came out in the midst of the pandemic I was in my final year of high school and I wanted to study medicine so when I heard the line "something med school did not cover" I just started crying. For some reason this song gave me the motivation to do my best at school, and now I’m a second year medical student with a dream of becoming a psychiatrist. Thank you Taylor.
Thank you for your dream, look up CBT-i for insomnia and please help facilitate it
I hope med school is going well, I'm really happy this song gave you motivation to pursue your dream ❤️
thats literally incredible i am so proud of you!
I hope everything is going well for you
Comparing the soldiers in the Battle of Guadalcanal (her grandfather) to the battle against COVID (doctors, nurses, first responders). The 20 minutes of sleep between shifts, between gunfights....it’s really beautiful. She’s a songwriting genius.
I agree with this interpretation
@@danaazzoug9766 yesss😭❤
Exactamente 🇪🇦😉
What about all the ones that were in empty hospitals and had enough time to do tik tok videos?
jascharl Ok troll 🙄
“To make some sense of what you’ve seen.” Multiple deaths in a day, families grieving thru the phone and not seeing their loved ones at their last breath due to this pandemic. Hits home to me. Never in my life I thought I would be in the frontlines. Thank you, Taylor for honoring the unsung heroes.
thank you so much for the service. keep safe always!
Thank you deeply from the bottom of my heart, what you do is so important, please stay safe, may you be blessed!
thank you so much for all your hardwork
Thank you for your hard work! You are literally a "sung" hero now, with a song to call your own :)
Thank you so much for your service. Stay safe!
I feel like this is showing the parallel of soldiers in WWII (her personal story) and the front line workers now.
She relates our past heroes and our present day ones, both dealing with immense trauma and displaying immense courage & integrity.
Beautifully put! ♡
Damnnnn now that you have said this.... I realise this is so trueee!!! 💯💯
I couldn't say it better.
Elizabeth, so on point!

I AGREEE!
Giving me safe and sound vibes
It’s so dark and raw like her emotions are so real

Thank you
This song hits home as a healthcare worker
This makes me cry each time I listen to it just because it's too close to home. Thank you so much for this ❤️🥺
Thankyou xx
It is incridible how this song has grown in me. At my first listens, this was one of my least favorites but now I’m totally in love
Anybody else feel the same??
Yes that’s the exact same for me! After listening to her record and talk about it in the long pond studio sessions, I came back to listen to it and know I’m in love 😍

Just crying... my dad passes away because of Covid-19 ( after 22 days in the hospital, 3 months ago ) and I could see myself in this beautiful, sad, touching song... I remember when I wake up after dreaming about him as if everything, for some incredible reason, was a misunderstood and he still alive, so the reality just hits me too hard. For me, Taylor realizes that feeling in this song, so it makes me cry...despite being absolutely beautiful. (My English is a work is progress, so...😅) I loved the song 😊❤🇧🇷

I saw a video from TikTok saying that the only song they skip in folklore is epiphany so I went here, I think this is one of her best song.
They're all amazing, each in their own way
Maybe they skip it because they don't want to ugly cry? I love this song, but it makes me tear up almost every time I hear it.
I only skip it to avoid breaking into tears 😭
Only people with no culture are capable to skip this amazing work of art.
The use of the heart beat monitors as synths is brillaint wow
I didn't even notice that- wow. Her mind sometimes
A lot of people didn't notice that.
get this comment right to the top!!!
Where in the song??
Wait, that's what she used? Didn't she also used her heartbeat for a song in the past
"I will listen to it as soon as this patient of mine stabilises"
- A friend who is a doctor, whom I shared this song with.
That’s actually really ironic and beautiful at the same time and this is probably one of the reasons why she even wrote this song
oh 😢😢
Bless her/him!
Update us with his reaction to this song please 😭
What did he say...? I am doc too & I absolutely love this...!
After the chaos of everything this year, I feel peaceful listening to this. Thank you Taylor🖤

Yeah . Me too. I super agree!
Yeah Me too
I'd never in my life ever listen to Taylor Swift.....I listen to all kinds of music, in 63 years I never had a song that just absolutely broke my heart like that, really brought something outta me , that had been hidden away for a long time. I LOVE THIS SONG.
Nobody's talking about the co-writer Aaron Dessner. Boy, part of you was put in this song and hats off to you
We need more collab between Taylor and Dessner!
I came here for the Dressner comments! Match made in heaven :-)
@sancho, mustn't forget to credit the men. I take your point, but let the girl have the spot-light fot taylor swfits' sake. 😊Her medals.
Taylor wrote the song, he just aided in the instrumentation. Taylor has said she gives co-writing credits even if it was just an instrumental choice made by someone else
Aaron Dessner is not the main writer of this song and besides he got the writing credit because he produced the song
As a doctor, this gives me goosebumps
The sudden rise in intonation in the verses sounds like those soldier marching chants
And the heart sounds S1 S2 going off at the end
Taylor is a genius
I bawled my eyes out with this one. The most important person in my life passed away this year and it was the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. I thought you would get better but life had other plans. I miss you every day and I'll love you for always.
I’m glad you found comfort in this song ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss.
My mother passed away over two years ago and I was with her as she took her last breath. This just ripped my heart apart and I started sobbing. It captures that feeling very well.
My grandpa passed away this year , and I’ll miss him forever and always 💜
I totally get this. My great-grandfather is in hospice right now, probably won’t last through next week.... He’s 99, so I know he’s lived a long life, but I am gonna miss him, and him going NOW is just hitting me hard.
@@astrocutie37 I wasnt expecting it but I'm glad I did. Love your name.

Without a doubt
what else contends? exile maybe.
I agree and i dont know what people are thinking
When I heard the line "With you I serve, with you I fall down." It literally just hit me. I feel like this song is for all the frontliners out there, especially for the doctors and nurses who put a lot of sacrifice and dedicated their lives to serve the people of their country during this pandemic.
Read this as she sang it 😂
everyone: 2020 is the worst year
Taylor: I got you dear.

This comment is everything. I feel the shift too 🙏🏼😭
true!
I feel like this song definitely has many references and relations to what’s happening now in the world - people sadly and unfortunately dying due to COVID and doctors and nurses helping and treating patients. This song makes me so emotional and especially as a nursing student. I love the lyric “with I serve, with you I fall down” and “watch you breath in, watch you breathing out.” Nurses are always there for their patients, with every last breathe♥️
She wrote it about her grandfather serving in WWII
Mareeen14 that’s probably why the comment says it has many references and relations. That’s the beauty of music and lyrics. It means something different to each individual. It may have been written about her grandfather but it’s pretty close to what’s happening right now in our world
Joy Byrne,
Well put.
This made me emotional as a student nurse. Thank you
A lot of people really dislike this song and I don’t understand. It’s my second favorite on Folklore. The melody is so beautiful and the lyrics are so impactful.
It's because it's not catchy or something you can dance to? It's also not something you scream in tears for. But honestly it's my favorite one in Folklore for me.
This album was announced so randomly... I love it
The way the song is mellow, almost in a lullaby manor, shows that this song was meant to calm the listener. Almost as if to ease their stress. Like a first responder that can't catch a couple minutes of sleep. Taylor Swift is an absolute genius.
yes i dont think she wanted it to be intense for us to listen to especially in these times. im happy she took this into account, she still made this as emotional as ever tho. :)
It's a tribute hymn. Utterly profound and listenable.
why do i feel like this song is about the frontliners in this pandemic
😌
Because it is
At first I thought it was soldiers in Normandy, but then it went to hospital workers
or maybe both
it is
you are smart!
This song is one of the reason why Taylor gets her Album Of the Year at Grammy for the third time, nothing to say, a perfect album that she has ever made!!
my grandpa is struggling with cancer and he will not get better. He is taking every treatment tho to extend his life because he isn't done with it yet.
We can see him overthinking everything. This song reminds me of my grandpa overthinking life. Looking for a epiphany. Trying to find the reason why this is happening to him and finding peace with it.
My dad is struggling with cancer too. Stay strong, you are not alone
I hope he gets stronger and better.
My mum has cancer as well , sending you so much love and strength
My dad has cancer too... and i'm struggle with BPD, depression, anxiety and it's hard but we're looking for a epiphany...
Learn to take it one day at a time, stay positive and pray. Soon we will all get better ❤
When Aaron Dessner explained "epiphany" in an interview. The lyrics "something med school did not cover
Someone's daughter, someone's mother
Hold your hands through plastic now, Doc i think she's passing out and somethings you just can't speak about" like medical school teaches you how to save a person's life, what medical process to do after someone passes away but it doesn't teaches you what to do when someone's passing in front of you, how to control urslef when someone's mother or someone's daughter is taking their last breath. And u can't speak about them. Really deep. Love epiphany more than ever now♡
I’m just thinking about all that agony they endure, watching someone pass on while wishing they could do something. 😭😭
@@dew__drops7844 yes seriously 🥺 it must be so difficult to control their emotions and continue to serve people.
And they we she ties that to combat soldiers who can't talk about what they saw to anyone who was not there is sheer brilliance...... This is song is an absolute masterpiece both lyrically and how she performs it..... If you want an anthem for these times it is this song...
this may be the best song shes ever produced. in terms of emotional spectrum.
Agreed.
This and ''CLEAN''
This song makes me cry every time i listen to it
This and "clean" and "soon you'll get better"
I was a Taylor Swift fan up until 2014 with my favourite songs being sparks fly, blank space and a few others. And after that I started hating her music.
But now, she has drawn me back.
Folklore is a masterpiece that you can listen to in any season, but it just feels more special when it's raining outside and you're playing this album while slowly sipping hot cocoa beside your window, pondering about what has been and what could be.
Happy anniversary to Grammy 2020's Album of the Year, and actually one of the best albums of all time.
I’m here to listen to this masterpiece after 4 years and found your comment. Taylor just won Grammy 2024’s Album of the Year with Midnights some days ago, thought I’d say Happy anniversary to Grammy 2020’s AOTY too. Folklore really is such a comforting heartbreaking gem, almost a time-capsule to which i attached so many feelings
This is capturing a moment in history like a time capusle.

The way she rhymed “life, son” with “rifle”.. She’s unbelievable

"female artists reinvent themselves a gazillion times more than their male counterparts." - taylor swift
Have to *
male artists just say Gucci Gang 20 times and put it out
@Janice Young, Taylor's wise before her years. Examples of old, white men, not reinventing the wheel : Rolling Stones, Elton John.. Ffs. Carry on....
(4 the time being) i agree*. "There´s not such a great man without a great woman right by his side" (don´t remember who said it). There´s been a burst, a light trying to guide blinded men. In many aspects of life time for equality. Art is one of them. Let them be heard in this particular dull moments. Man´s intelligence is nothing without their wisdom. Mysterious, men and women are. Women are a gazillion times more mysterious but a jewel that has to carve herself from the rough.
(*) To miss Siobhan Kendal-Gre: The old guys repeating themselves. What a drag. But all this comes from that. Someone said: no one gives Mr. Aaron Dessner credit for co-writing and producing this beautiful masterpiece. Woman and man marching along for the same purpose side by side. You can find them creating shoulder to shoulder by going abroad the regular industry cannons and magazines that support them. For the industry it is money that counts not reason or intellect or beauty, feelings, sence. Miss Swift has been set free from contract & freed she has shown us how of a great musician she really is. Nro., 1.
Listening to this while making face shields for doctors and nurses at my local hospital.
To all medical personnel who see this, thank you for your hard work over the past year. Please say safe and stay healthy.
I DONT FREAKING UNDERSTAND WHY TAYLOR HAS HATERS SHE SO NICE AND MAKES PEACEFUL SONGS EMOTIONAL ONES AND LOVE ONES THERE JUST JEALOUS
Edit: sorry for caps
I love Taylor and I don't know why anyone would not love her and her beautiful music
Ikr i just saw some in the comments 😭
Those people did nothing in life, so they are jealous of the progress of others
No need to say sorry we understand :)
I'm not a huge swiftie per se but I REALLY appreciate her artistry especially in folklore.
Man... I really think this is for the patient, their family, doctor, or nurses that fighting in for their life. That noise at the ending part seems like a heart rate machine in the hospital. This is so damn heartbreaking yet beautiful.
My wife is a respiratory therapist that operates the ventilators for COVID patients. The lyrics of this song can be seen in her face now when she comes home. We can't listen to it without tearing up.
Same😭 but my father. He passed away.
Give my thanks to her for her services. I was crying just thinking about it , I cant even imagine having to go through it every single day💌
@@time-gq4ne I hope he rests in peace and your pain eases soon. Sending love💜
Unpopular opinion, Epiphany is one of the best songs taylor has ever made. Its so gorgeous, its one of her only songs that's brought me to tears (the only other one i can think of is This is Me Trying... edit, okay a few others now too but THIS STILL STANDS Epiphany doesn't deserve the slander y'all.)
Ikrr, I love the "hold ur hand thru plastic now" and " only 20 mins to sleep but u dream of some epiphany" partss
it's my favorite of hers!
absolutely
It's one of my favorites song from Folklore, after August
At 4:03 you can hear the heart beats of medical frontliners and the people who are suffering and fighting in this time of pandemic. This is really a great masterpiece.
wow
Indeed, I need to listen to it again.
it's subtle
the first part of the verse pictured somewhat soldiers crawling up a beach and one of their men is bleeding. it seems he can't survive. he has "served" with his comrades and "fell down" with them. the greatest thing about this song is how taylor made the brave soldiers similar with doctors and nurses by picturing them in the next verse. the similarity is emphasized by the chorus' repetition after each verse
She’s so brilliant!!
she's a genius
Exactly and I know that this is for the soldiers but the lyrics match so perfectly for covid-19 doctors for example the line ‘Keep your helmet, keep your life son.’ For doctors could mean keep your equipment so you don’t get the virus and stay alive......the whole song is for all types of social workers. My mum being a doctor, this hits so hard in the feels.

Have you ever loved a song so much you cry when you hear/ sing it because it's just so relatable and you wouldn't know what you'll do in life without that song? This is how i feel about this song and about many more other songs Taylor has. I just cant explain in words how wonderful this artist is.
i tear up every time I hear it. And i cant even stop it, it just comes automaticaly like this is the logical way of things happening
Taylor is such a safe place for me. I know it's okay to cry here. It's okay to connect.

This is basically the folklore version of “Soon you’ll get better” from lover.
with the archer production
Instead of being about her mom, now it's about everyone's family dieing. Also less Dixie is great.
@@bennygaga449 I dont think the original comment specifically called this song is about her mother tho. Just the vibe and overall lyrics are so damn heartbreaking just like how SYGB in Lover.
This is like soon you’ll get better but you don’t get better
@@giorgia856 Omg 😂
The way she sang the line "Doc, I think she is crashing out"
The chills.
I heard this line the same time i read this comment and i got literal chills....just awww moment.❣️❣️
This song deserves so much more attention. It’s so lyrically beautiful, it entails so much pain but so much beauty.
As an ICU RN, I cannot emphasize how much the “hold your hands through plastic now,” hit me. School doesn’t teach you how to bear deaths burden.
I heard this song earlier this morning. Not being a fan of Taylor Swift I used Shazam to find out who was singing. Listened to it on Spotify later and still liked the melody and Taylor's voice. Then I read the meaning behind this song and every word hit me straight back in my heart. As nurse through this tough time all the faces of all the elderly patients I looked after and lost came back like a stabbing memory, all at once and I started crying. Not just the loss but coping with the ones surviving, trying to explain why they weren't allowed to see their families, promising that everything would be alright soon. Yes, we chose to work in healthcare but we weren't prepared to all this. "something med school did not cover".
Thank you SO much for what you do!, I can't start to imagine how hard it is, but you must know that we do not take it for granted and that what you do is incredibly important. ❤️
Your comment has me bawling. The sudden realization of just what you wonderful people have had to endure. All the while trying to remain hopeful for the people on the other end. With all the sincerity from my heart- Thank You! Thank you for all you have sacrificed. 🙏❤
Hope you're a fan now. I feel like taylor is misunderstood. Thankyou so much for your work! Means so much to so many of us
I know especially the
With you I fall down
Watch you breathe in and watch you breath out
I feel this.
Unpopular opinion: This is the best one on Folklore!!!
It is to me!
This comment is on every song 😂❤
Every song is the best song on Folklore
yes, this is.
No but literly i feel im the only one😊😡
As a firefighter and a veteran this song means everything to me.
As a infantry soldier who didn’t serve in WW2 but in the Middleeast, it’s very relatable and why I’m a 36 year old veteran and a 15 year Taylor fan
Thank you for your service
Thank you for your service💜
Thank you for your service!! 🙏🙏
Thank you for your service! 🙂❤
You are so brave. Thank you for your service.
Feeling so proud of Taylor, this is the second album that she fully owns. She's come a long way, and this album out of nowhere is a blessing.
We can really see the freedom within her two albums. She could speak anything she likes.
She is simply amazing and a blessing.
I started listening to Taylor when I was 12, that means 8 years ago, and I can finally say that It's not me who grow up with her songs, she's the one who grows up, she's the one who changed, I discovered her when she was a young dreamy innocent country girl, and now I'm listening to a kind of lullaby writing by the mature lyrics queen "Taylor", and I'm proud of u Taylor, u can finally say that u r a princess who don't live anymore in a small town who reached the stars. All love to u queen❤️
Edit: thank u all for th likes, didn't expect that many of u share the same feelings😭❤️
I always listen to love story when i was 5
Same. I was 14 when I first listened to Taylor and every album I saw leaps of her growth. She never fails to strike me with words. I am now turning 26. Those years with her music kept me sane.
Oh i'm 14 ahhahha i started knowing there were such thing as albums when i became a kpop fan that's why i only know the lover album well
I was 12 too❤
Hai.. I dunno why i'm just happy knowing someone in the same age w me in this comment section
this is one of the most beautiful and meaningful songs taylor has ever written, and that's saying a lot
Does anyone else think the instruments, especially at the end, kinda sound like the heart rate monitors in hospitals? Like because she was talking about breathing in & out and whatnot. It’s possible I’m imagining that, but if not...she’s so brilliant🤩
I noticed that, too 😭 ugh, her mind
Its true. This is her way of honoring the doctors and nurses during this trying time.
I'm lying in the ER right now, listening to this song over and over because it's like Taylor is holding my hand while I wait for answers. Thank you for being with me and us through this.
I hope you're feeling better now
I hope you’re okay! I’m praying for you!
I'm doing much better! Still don't have answers but I'm stable. Thank you for the support 💚💚
Soon you'll get better. Lots of love
😭🙏🏼
This song reminds me of my grandmother - a Canadian nurse who served in Italy during WWII. Can't imagine all that she saw, all that she never spoke about. She met my grandfather (a Canadian soldier) when he came to visit his injured friend.
This album is gonna save 2020
HONESTLY
Facts
Juice WRLD already did lol
