I think what gets me about Forever Winter is actually the title, because to me it tells you how the story ended. "I'll be forever winter if you go." - so the song is "Forever Winter" because he left.
Tragic bop really sums it up perfectly. I feel deeply connected to this song, cause it just feels like a warm hug by Taylor or like a pep talk to my younger self. I love love love, the use of horns in this song and just all around everything about it. My brain sorta disconnected the sadness by now and just sees this song as hopefull
Same, dude... Saaaame. This song indeed feels like a warm hug. It also now makes me feel a sense of hopefulness when I'm not cry-dancing to the beat of the song. ♩¨̮ ( ง ㅠ ^ ㅠ )ว ♩¨̮
Forever winter is highly rumored to be about her highschool friend who was struggling and ended his life at 21 years. She sung this song at his funeral 💔
Yes and no. Yes, it is about her good friend Jeff. She did mention singing at his funeral during her acceptance speech while accepting her BMI Country Songwriter of the Year at the 2010 BMI Country Awards. But she did not say that she sang this song specifically during his funeral. This song was written around 2010-2012 and was an unreleased song up until 2021 when she released her version of the RED album. And she doesn't sing unreleased songs post-debut.
The song being in _third person objective_ is so appropriate because even people who have been 'there' find it difficult to assume what runs on a person's head during that moment. That's why even our _beloved late night expert pacer __3:35_ just narrated the things she saw and she heard him say while checking up on him, without assuming what's on his head. And I also love that the content of the song is reflected to the way it sounds 9:45. Oh, and I got my mini shout out at around 4:35 yay 😄😄
Haha oh I'm glad you told me it was you, because I couldn't find your previous comment about the tragic bops! And yesss there's so much intentionality in this one WE LOVE TO SEE IT
Coming unglued in snow on the beach is a reference to how time stopped her in the line before and he is ungluing her and helping her move forward with his love. That's how I see it at least. As for forever winter, I always hear the upbeat nature more as anxiety and desperation than joy, which fits the repetition of the begging/pleading.
yess im early! forever winter is one of my fav red songs so im glad u heard it and enjoyed it + snow on the beach is so beautiful w the melody, glad ur getting closer to 10k, hope u get it before summer!!
I dont know if you like learning these things, but Snow on The Beach is acrually about falling in love with someone who is falling in love with you at the same time (which is funny because you speculated the exact opposite at the beginning of your reaction) It’s why she compares it to all these otherworldly things, because at that time (the song is about joe), she wasn‘t used to the feeling of just… being loved back On another note, I personally think its pretty useful for her to explain the main simile like that. You already mentioned that there is little time in a song, but also the simile is kind of complicated imo. It could also mean something more negative, like a disturbing feeling that something is out of place, and with the previous lyrics also being so indirect and abstract, it just kind of „sets the tone straight“ i think
Snow On The Beach is about two people falling in love together which she alludes to being rare and beautiful like snow falling on a beach. Forever Winter makes me cry everytime I listen to it. When this song came out, I was in a similar headspace and this became sort of a sanctuary. Please also check out Renegade with Bon Iver and Taylor. It's also on similar themes and you're gonna like the switching of perspectives on that one
Thank you very much for making this video, and choosing Forever Winter. My favorite line is "I'll be summer sun for you forever." I'm so happy that you finally reacted to this one. I had a newfound appreciation for the verses at 7:45. There are some really good lines here. The switch from 3AM to 5AM, some lines from the beginning became the overarching narrative of the story, and the repetition of the intro 9:17. The analysis made me love the song even more.
I think explaining a simile right after can work when done in a specific way or with a specific purpose. She doesn’t do it often in songs, but when I first heard Snow on the beach that like “weird but f**** beautiful” made me laugh, and kind of stay with that sentiment in a “yeah I can see that” way. For me it the line works in that specific instance. I Agee I wouldn’t like it if it was done all the time after every simile or metaphor. Anyway really enjoy your videos 😘
I always interpreted as an indication of it being so weird that it is actively hard for her to describe. She can only describe it in a simile and then describe the simile as a way to even remotely understand it herself.
I'd love to see you analyze lyrics from U2. Especially songs from the Joshua Tree album, which to me has always felt to be their most poetic work. "Running to Stand Still" is a great example.
In snow on the beach she says " it's coming down, No sound it's all around, like snow on the beach" Cause snow falling makes no sound, and for me bring me to " blurring out my periphery" zoning in.
I think she wants to show us the reason why she can’t know how he feels in forever winter is because he’s gone now, so she can’t even ask him that anymore, all the can do now is wonder how he felt 😢
Maybe snow AT the beach when they're first stumbling upon it, and then ON the beach because it's starting to STICK... haha idk, could be grasping for straws :P

@@meganmaclaineI think I’ve asked this before, but can u please do bigger than the whole sky and Marjorie!! 🤎🧡💛
In another world, maybe we would’ve had “Summer Sun” 😢
One of my favorite things about Forever Winter is that it being so upbeat kind of alludes to her actively trying to be his "summer sun"
Ohhh true!!
This song and renegade are two of my favorites from her in characterizing other people from outside of their own heads

Great reaction! Forever Winter is such a sad song in context
Thank youuu! And yeah for real :'(

forever winter is one of my favorite tracks from red tv
Yayyy!
i looove forever winter and snow on the beach i’m so excited for this reaction 🖤
Yayyyy! Hope you enjoyed it :')
@@meganmaclaine i did!!
Love these songs!
You have to unpack my fav midnights song Would’ve could’ve should’ve. Masterpiece.

So is saying it's so weird she doesn't know how to describe it without saying it's so weird she can't describe it.

Can you do her song "Out Of The Woods?" I think it deserves recognition, lyrically. Especially as a pop song.
I think she wants to show us the reason why she can’t know how he feels in forever winter is because he’s gone now, so she can’t even ask him that anymore, all the can do now is wonder how he felt 😢
Please react to Phoebe Bridgers
Forever winter is about a friend of hers Jeff lang who took his own life
Am I the only person bothered by the shifting preposition?
Wdym?
@@mathies3598 Where exactly is this snow - AT the beach or ON the beach? Yes, I read the lyrics, it makes sense, but it just irks me :P
@@justlisten9435 is the actually a differencevbetween on and at in this case
OMG YOU'RE SO RIGHT. How did I not even notice that? I neglected the poor prepositions... Yessss why isn't it the same throughout? Mehhh haha
Maybe snow AT the beach when they're first stumbling upon it, and then ON the beach because it's starting to STICK... haha idk, could be grasping for straws :P
love your reactions and breakdowns! you're so sweet and interested in every video, i just enjoy it so much! appreciate 🫶🏻
Aw thank you! I appreciate it 🫶
