@@chokedonthedust the maths is off. If she wrote it when she was 16 and it 'appeared' on her album 6 years later she would've been 22. She was 22 when RED was released which doesn't make sense. It would have been 4 years later after she was 16 = 20 which is how old she was when Speak Now was released
I love how country this sounds compared to the studio version but I really like the album version lyrics much more...they're more mature and just better quality.
Imagine if she never added Sparks Fly to Speak Now and we would've heard it only on Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version) for the first time ever as a studio version
The context of the scene is clearer than the rewritten version, they were dancing in a bar rather than literally dropping things at the street and dancing in the rain
@smexychica4 This is the original version, Taylor only played it at 1 or 2 shows then the public heard it and loved it so she put a studio version on her latest album 'Speak Now' :)
personally, i prefer the newer studio version. because i feel like the new lyrics flow better. and they're more descriptive and meaningful too. like the second line about him being reckless, is a nice touch. and i don't really get the line about the movie star in this version. versus all the new lyrics she adds about not being able to control herself. but this version's pretty good too. (:
Why did she take away the lyric "You say my name for the first time, baby, and I Fall in love in an empty bar?" That's awesome!! Man I love this version more!
I think she will put this in her Speak Now (taylor's version) vault tracks, just like how she put the all too well (10 minute version) in her RED (taylor's version) as one of her vault tracks.
I think would be a like-bonus track, not sure if she's willing to add bonus tracks to her versions though since she didn't do for fearless or red TV... but I hope...🥲🥲🥲 like she did for red in the stolen version (the song itself and the demo version)
If taylor rerecord the sparks fly (country version) maybe it will be on debut, because taylor wrote 40-50 songs from speak now and if i'm not mistaken speak now have 10 vault tracks.
OMG I would love to see this banjo version on Taylor's Speak Now Rerecord man... it is so good and I can almost hear it on the album... it'd be a great closing track for sure
The main things I prefer about the studio version are the strong four-on-the-floor beat and the higher key! Notice how this version is lower-pitched and has less of that that four-on-the-floor beat.
Elise Criqui same and I’ve been listening since 2006 had all her songs and bonus tracks cds and never heard this version she changed a few of the lyrics too
I love this version, but I think I prefer the newer one better, I don't know, I just think it seems more mature and fits better than the lyrics in this version. :)
This version is so much better. This version is so much sexier than the studio version. This song tells what it feels like to be in that first-phase burning hot infatuation-phase of a relationship.
How wonderful would it have been if she kept the original drum beat or the country instrumentation in all of its glory. This is better than the pop rock instrumentation she eventually went with
Is this really about the first time? Omg! Sparks fly is like my song to my bf (the album version) then I hear this after all these years. It was an innocent song until I hear this. Can't believe taytay would could write those mature lyrics lol. Forever swiftie ❤️❤️❤️ PS. This song will never be the same again.
imagine: Sparks Fly (Taylor's Version) on Speak Now (Taylor's Version) AND Sparks Fly (Earlier Version) (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault) on Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version)!!
the fiddle/banjo sound in the beginning sounds like love story/fearless opening! it would be so cool if she released a country version because this has fearless vibes edit: spelling
The hidden message in this song's lyrics is "PORTLAND OREGON" and in that city in October 2006, she opened for a guy by the name of Jake Owen. Also she mentions in the song "Green eyes" and Jake has green eyes. Creepy thing about it tho is when she wrote it she was 16 and he 25 and the lyrics originally and even on the album version seem sexual like "lead me up the staircase". Like even teenage Taylor had raging sexual hormones it seems haha
@NiceWhereYouAre It's awesome!! I love this song but this version definitely gets me more than the one on "Speak Now". The banjo and drums combo is better than guitar-drums. Plus added violin in the bridge is much better!
The lyric changes don't bother me as much as the fact the the back sound of the fiddle and banjo were taken away. The beautiful county backdrop has been replaced by an electric guitar, making the song much more pop-y. If only Taylor had stuck with this.
@h2olewis817 no this was never played on the Fearless tour, it's only been played a few times when Taylor was like 18 :).. @h2olewis817 Yep that's because that's where she met the guy she's singing about :).. @h2olewis817 nothing will ever beat the original version :).. but i saw the new one on the speak now tour and it was amazing
I like the lyrics better in the newer version but the country instrumentation better in the original one. I wish she kept it instead of replacing it with the electric guitar.
I love Taylor and everything but I can't help but like the newer version a lot better than this. It may be because I'm so used to the newer version but I feel like this one doesn't tell the same story as the new version. However do I love the lines 'I'd love to hate it,but you make it like a firework show'.
Since Taylor Swift is going to rerecord her albums, petition to add this original version of Sparks Fly in her Speak Now Taylor's Version Vault. :))) HOPING....
@daisylove2000 where exactly on this video/description does it say 'Official Video', I think you'll find it says 'Original Version' because this is in fact the original version of Sparks Fly!
In 2020 she'll start the record her all musics (because sco*ter br*un) and she'll some new recorded old songs put in to her new albums and i really wish sparks fly's this version in her new albums
cant believe she wrote this when she was only 16, and 6 years later its on one of her albums
and six years later shes about to release her seventh studio album
Six years later she's going to rerecord this and I can't wait to hear it
@@amelias6138 And now she's released folklore, still beating records with an alternative/country/pop album!
It went on her album 4 years later not 6

It’s crazy to think that in 2023, we’re still getting a new version, the Taylor’s Version of Sparks Fly. Such a classic.
I love how country this sounds compared to the studio version but I really like the album version lyrics much more...they're more mature and just better quality.
Ana Clara SIS CONGRATS ON MEETING THE QUEEN
i’m really hoping she throws in the banjo when she re-records her albums!!
Imagine if she never added Sparks Fly to Speak Now and we would've heard it only on Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version) for the first time ever as a studio version
Fearless (Taylor’s version ) probably
She still clearly says 'I'm captivated by you baby likes fireworks show' in both versions.
In another version it was "I'd love to hate it but you make it like a fireworks show"
The rewrite is better, but it's nice to hear the earlier version too.
The context of the scene is clearer than the rewritten version, they were dancing in a bar rather than literally dropping things at the street and dancing in the rain

This comment is 10 years old but the video is 6 years old. What the hell??
@@queen_elizabeth I uploaded this video February 2010. :)
Do you think she’ll re-record it and make it a vault song for Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)?

The crowd cheering her is crazy considering this was the beginning of her career.
"in an empty bar". Bby girl was a teenager at the time. What is she talking about? 😂😂
Mskittenlover12 maybe she met the guy during the period she used to have performances in the bars;)
Yeah I think she started performing in bars when she was like 13. :P
Mskittenlover12 It may even refer to both an empty bar in music when she wasnt singing as well as in an actual bar.
Mskittenlover12 that’s 2011 ding a ling
Cafe- country Tennessee?!!! Country is about BEER
Why did she take away the lyric "You say my name for the first time, baby, and I
Fall in love in an empty bar?" That's awesome!! Man I love this version more!
she was 19 when she released the official version. She wouldnt be allowed to be around a bar at that age nonetheless at 16/17
@@effexwhore actually she was 20, almost 21! but still the point stands
The fact that Sparks fly was originally supposed to be on fearless is just wow
it was actually written for debut and was shelved until speak now
@@WJSN_officiaI On the old tracklist of Fearless you can see a song called "Sparks". This was the original name for Sparks Fly.
It's actually "I'm captivated by you baby, like a firework show" But I love this so much! She definitely wasn't as guarded with her song writing then.
How do you know?
@@chokedonthedust if you listen to the lyrics you can tell 😀
I think she will put this in her Speak Now (taylor's version) vault tracks, just like how she put the all too well (10 minute version) in her RED (taylor's version) as one of her vault tracks.
I hope not bc the writing is kinda weird but a sparks fly country version would be so cool
I hope so! It's so fun
I think would be a like-bonus track, not sure if she's willing to add bonus tracks to her versions though since she didn't do for fearless or red TV... but I hope...🥲🥲🥲 like she did for red in the stolen version (the song itself and the demo version)

damn you hear how quiet that audience is? you know its a performance *really* early in her career
OMG I would love to see this banjo version on Taylor's Speak Now Rerecord man... it is so good and I can almost hear it on the album... it'd be a great closing track for sure
lol
I wish but sadly no :(
This deserved to be a vault track
it’s already on speak now?
@13taylorswiftlyrics13 I think they meant for this version of sparks fly to be a vault track now the one that is actually on speak now
Love seeing how the song has developed!
i never even knew this existed. i like the studio version better but i love this!!
The main things I prefer about the studio version are the strong four-on-the-floor beat and the higher key! Notice how this version is lower-pitched and has less of that that four-on-the-floor beat.
I hope she puts this in the taylor's version of speak now as a vault song. I really wanna hear this song in studio quality
I can't believe this version is from the year I was born and I know all the words to both this and the SN version.
shes gorgeous in this picture *.*
It's even better than I could have imagined
It’s April 26, 2020 and just found out about this original version
October 2020 for me
Elise Criqui same and I’ve been listening since 2006 had all her songs and bonus tracks cds and never heard this version she changed a few of the lyrics too
😂 it’s December 29, 2020 and I just found out about it
january 2021 for me
It’s April 2021 for me
She should've released this version on the SN deluxe cd :(
Are you alive
shes so pretty. her voice is good live too. JUST THE DAMN SCREAMS!
I love this version, but I think I prefer the newer one better, I don't know, I just think it seems more mature and fits better than the lyrics in this version. :)
i love the original so much more...heard it so many years ago and still prefer it to the album version
2:46 my fave ❤️❤️ I wish Taylor would include the demo of Sparks Fly in Speak Now (Taylor's Version) 🤞🙏
im thankful she didn't include it 🤩🤩 sorry not sorry
@@soobinie614 we dont care
@@gabe7956 -about you
I just found out about this version, I like it just as much as the Speak Now version
Crazy to hear tv now
it just amazing to hear the earlier version
U say my name for the first time baby ,i fall in love in an empty bar...this is different
Well duh
This version is so much better. This version is so much sexier than the studio version. This song tells what it feels like to be in that first-phase burning hot infatuation-phase of a relationship.
Low key makes more sense.
ohhhh myyyy this is definitely about her first time!
"and you are beautiful" 😭
i want taylor to kiss me on the sidewalk and take away the pain
and people don’t believe that she wrote I can see you at 19 lmao
I'd have to say I like the album version better just the meaning and the sense but either way they're both great!!
To date this is still one of my favourite songs of hers - this version though, not the one she ended up releasing on her album
How wonderful would it have been if she kept the original drum beat or the country instrumentation in all of its glory. This is better than the pop rock instrumentation she eventually went with
There is a studio version on her new album, Speak Now :)..
Is this really about the first time? Omg! Sparks fly is like my song to my bf (the album version) then I hear this after all these years. It was an innocent song until I hear this. Can't believe taytay would could write those mature lyrics lol. Forever swiftie ❤️❤️❤️

This comment would be really confusing for a non-swiftie haha
Hoping she does a from the vault version of this on debut Taylor’s version
Imagine taylor didn’t release this.We would probably only have gotten it on the debut vault tracks
the fiddle/banjo sound in the beginning sounds like love story/fearless opening! it would be so cool if she released a country version because this has fearless vibes
edit: spelling
I love love this song!!! And this version oh my goodness amazing
“You say my name for the first time, baby, and I fall in love in an empty.”

Well isnt that kinda normal for a 16 year old?
@@Ikwileennieuwenaam_ my 16-year old asexual brain can’t relate lol
Knowing how Taylor writes when it's just her I feel like every song on Speak Now probably have 10 minute version with all the lyrics she cut.
Revisiting the og version of sparks fly in honor of Taylor's version. Lol had to go back to the real OG
I'm grateful to you for introducing this to mee!!! ToT
I know im late but idk why this version gets me so pumped, maybe its the drums but wow
She is amazing.
YES, i've been looking for this version since i heard it at least two years ago. I'm still used to these lyrics.
omggggggg this version is so fab!
i always love to hear demo,
unrelease of a song from her
This song is going to be on her new album "Speak Now" OCTOBER 25TH!!
Thank you for this. I finally found it. This is the first one I heard and I miss this sooo much.😭
Hope this will be on Speak Now TV
nah
@naturallygirl231 - it's always live because there hasn't been a studio version recorded yet. Personally i'm hoping it'll be on her 3rd album :)..
She says something about emtpy bar and she was like 18 hahaha tayyyy
Ilovelife0611 what does an empty bar could mean?
She actually wrote the original version when she was 16...
She used to perform in bars
Omg I discover this now after 10 years
@NiceWhereYouAre It's awesome!! I love this song but this version definitely gets me more than the one on "Speak Now". The banjo and drums combo is better than guitar-drums. Plus added violin in the bridge is much better!
july 7th how are we feeling
The lyric changes don't bother me as much as the fact the the back sound of the fiddle and banjo were taken away. The beautiful county backdrop has been replaced by an electric guitar, making the song much more pop-y. If only Taylor had stuck with this.
so nostalgic!!! 2007!
@h2olewis817 no this was never played on the Fearless tour, it's only been played a few times when Taylor was like 18 :)..
@h2olewis817 Yep that's because that's where she met the guy she's singing about :)..
@h2olewis817 nothing will ever beat the original version :).. but i saw the new one on the speak now tour and it was amazing
she better rerecord the song like this omg
I was concerned that RUclips would have taken this down but they didn’t
Does every taylor swift songs have green eyes? i just find it weird. i wonder who he is.
Gaming Alli emily :)
She actually said that this song was originally with “brown eyes” but she liked green better
@@sabrinalopes604 haha no.
2am also she always says 2am everyomtime in a song
Jake Owen?
this so Nice, so perfect, taylor Swift THe best :)
this was supposed to be a vault track for fearless
it’s older than fearless, it could be a debut vault track tho
i want her to record a version with a banjo and the studio version for taylor version😭
I LOVE THIS BERSION BETTER
Me too
Caitlin C
I like this version better
I like the lyrics better in the newer version but the country instrumentation better in the original one. I wish she kept it instead of replacing it with the electric guitar.
I remember when speak now came out and I heard this song and was so thrown off that the lyrics were different 😂
Same! I had to listen to the studio version multiple times because I couldn't believe my ears
and its something that'll haunt me when you're not around
Please never remove this song from your channel
is it weird that i like the original better? :)
I would go pretty much with this version of the song too, but only if the latest one existed.
who else is here august 2020 and just found out tHERE WAS THIS ORIGINAL VERSION AND IT WAS A FREAKING SEX SONG???? 😭😂
Me! Lol. I had no idea. Just found this today too 😅
I love the studio version better
i just found out about this version 🥸
wow the original version is so much more sexual...i think thats why she had to change it

Came here after watching her perform Sparks Fly on reputation tour
I wish this was a studio version....this original one. I like the main one too though. Obviously lol 😂
K i offically prefer this version. It just seems so fun to sing
O speak now tv 😭😭
