I don’t care if it’s 12 years later, I still cry every time I hear it. Man, it really does hurt though, huh? 😢 what a way to honor him though. RIP Ronan.
He was a boy with cancer and Taylor followed his Mother Maya’s blog. She was so moved by her blog that she wrote this song and listed Mom as the co-writer because a lot of the phrases came from that blog. She sang it for the first time at Stand Up 2 Cancer and proceeds from the song go to cancer research. Taylor and the family got very close and when she re-recorded her Red album, she put the song on there which is why it says Taylor’s version. Anyway…still cry no matter how many times I hear it!
Ronan... Well ladies ... Thanks to you I will be hearing Taylor Swift for the 1st time... of course I have known about her for a long time. Just never took the time to hear one of her songs. This is such a beautiful song and i realized where it was going. It is hitting me as hard as Eric Clapton's ... "Tears In Heaven"...Over 20 years ago my 3 month old grandson suddenly died. It still bothers me to this day. I stopped where you did but i will have to finish it later.
The Taylor's Version label means it was a song she recorded when she was with her first label; that label kept ownership of the master (original) recordings. When the company was bought by someone Taylor despised, she started recording everything she'd ever done, so there would be an option for listeners (and radio stations) to use her new audio instead of paying to use the older versions. (She also had songwriter's copyrights; she exercised those to prevent them from using her old audio for ads or movies). So far, the new versions (which include music she did not release in the past) have sold very very well; and her voice has improved as well (she used to have an eating disorder, now she's a lot healthier).
"Taylor's Version" means it is from the rerecorded version of her earlier albums that was sold away from her. She rerecorded them to own the rights for the songs. I think she only played the song two times live, on a cancer charity event and at a show where Ronan's mother was in the crowd. You can hear her struggle getting through it in the studio recording.
It is her song...wrote for him and his family...all proceeds goes to their foundation for cancer research...Taylor's version just means she owns it...not the record company
❤We love Ronan & Mama Maya - and we love Taylor !! This is hard for us to listen to everytime it plays. Tears everytime. But, we love remembering Ronan... ❤
Taylor came across a blog written by Maya, Ronan’s mom. She used some of what was in the blog to write this song. She sang this during the Stand Up To Cancer fundraiser. Maya is credited as a cowriter on the song. I do know she sang this song when her tour went through Maya’s city.
Remember EVERY time someone listens to this song the charity in Ronan's name gets money. It is good to listen to it on low so you don't cry, then do something so you don't get upset. That is after you have watched the video at least once or listen to it when you need too. It is nice you can contribute to a charity for cancer patients and their families without it costing you anything.
I wanna recommend a few more Taylor performances to react to: my tears ricochet - from the album 'folklore' (2020). Taylor wrote this song about her first 6 albums being sold under her without her knowledge. which is why she decided to re-record her first 6 albums and name them (Taylor's Version). this song is how she felt betrayed by her former label CEO who signed her when she was 14 y.o. and they were like family until this happened. so it really hurt Taylor: ruclips.net/video/OWbDJFtHl3w/видео.html Out Of The Woods - 2015 Grammy Museum performance: ruclips.net/video/K-n9-FVTq6w/видео.html Cruel Summer - Ther Eras Tour (2023 and '24): ruclips.net/video/CFP5LNdSWso/видео.htmlsi=teoIPtJs4zOfjzAB This Is Me Trying - Long Pond Studio Sessions (2020): ruclips.net/video/Z1yeJIn12KQ/видео.html Ready For It - The Eras Tour (2023 and '24) an upbeat, fun song: ruclips.net/video/Ht7-j8Xv_6o/видео.htmlsi=hBUC5XGyZHbhnVgZ Lavender Haze - The Eras Tour (2023 and 2024): ruclips.net/video/iTrOYOGRZNQ/видео.html I Knew You Were Trouble - The 1989 world tour performance: ruclips.net/video/bO7g1vEZQiI/видео.html Lover - The Eras Tour (2023 '24): ruclips.net/video/ejQz0QLkQAI/видео.html
Hi, Swiftie here!! I see lots of great info on here about Ronan already, so I will just suggest some great ones for you, or for any new Swifties! All Too Well, LOML, Champagne Problems, New Years Day, Your on your Own Kid, Maroon, Hots Different, You’re Losing Me, Peter, But Daddy I love Him, Dear John, Cornelia St and Death by a Thousand Cuts live in Paris, Long Live, Fearless, Ready for It, just to name I few 😂 honestly, I’d start with Reputation bc it’s perfection. I wouldn’t start with TTPD until you know more about her. Speak Now if you go the country route.
This is a beautiful, but tough song. If you’d like to check out something a little “lighter” from Swift, below are just a few recommendations with links. I have to admit that I was one of those people who assumed her music “wasn’t for me.” I finally gave her a proper chance about a year ago and have since become a huge fan. One reason, among many, is the variety in her discography. She has SO many different styles of songs and types of performances… 😊 - This is the Reputation Tour performance of “Don’t Blame Me”. It’s a big, powerhouse performance (legendary among fans): m.ruclips.net/video/seOJleBbf-U/видео.html&pp=ygUeZG9uJ3QgYmxhbWUgbWUgcmVwdXRhdGlvbiB0b3Vy (m.ruclips.net/video/seOJleBbf-U/видео.html) - This is a small venue, stripped back performance of “Wildest Dreams”. Just her and her electric guitar. It has some lovely vocals: m.ruclips.net/video/OGDkg3QiJmk/видео.html&pp=ygUaZ3JhbW15IG11c2V1bSB0YXlsb3Igc3dpZnQ%3D (m.ruclips.net/video/OGDkg3QiJmk/видео.html) - This is the SNL performance of “Lover”. It’s just her and her piano: m.ruclips.net/video/dmipFjOtMA8/видео.html&pp=ygUPc3dpZnQgbG92ZXIgc25s Enjoy!
If you haven't already, you should react to taylor swift's lyric video for her song called “Marjorie” it's about taylor's grandmother, marjorie finlay, who was an opera singer! the lyric video features real videos and pictures of her grandmother! and you should also react to taylor's lyric video for her song called “timeless” which is about her grandparents on both sides, and it features more pictures of marjorie (her grandmother) and her grandpa from around world war 2. taylor's grandpa fought in the war!
You got my sub for this. I'm recommending some of her hard songs if you haven't heard. Be prepared for next time with tissue boxes.😊 Never Grow Up (Taylor's Version) : ruclips.net/video/maEVfpxDB8k/видео.htmlsi=bhrKO9EpsO5v_PtC Soon You'll Get Better : ruclips.net/video/tMoW5G5LU08/видео.htmlsi=q3alCzZgD6QEgDEW Marjorie : ruclips.net/video/hP6QpMeSG6s/видео.htmlsi=R7LMOC85AYwCoOmM All Too Well: The Short Film : ruclips.net/video/tollGa3S0o8/видео.htmlsi=3ktRgkvxePhkc8uK

Two years later in 2013 The Thompson family welcomed a baby girl, they named her Poppy Ronan.
WOW !!
That was Heart Wrenching. 😢
Beautiful Song !

so sad makes me cry. Ronan. Songs. Taylor Swift
I really recommend the best day by Taylor swift because she wrote it for her mother ❤
for research purposes, nearly every song Taylor has done has a wikipedia page; the history of this can be found by a search on the title
Beautiful.
Very!
Kathy you made my mother Cathy cry with you too but in a good way. Wintersun Alex in Texas ❄️❤️❤️❤️
My face leaks every time I hear this song. I lost a nephew at 5 to cancer. It’s tough.
This is a beautiful, but tough song. If you’d like to check out something a little “lighter” from Swift, below are just a few recommendations with links.
I have to admit that I was one of those people who assumed her music “wasn’t for me.” I finally gave her a proper chance about a year ago and have since become a huge fan. One reason, among many, is the variety in her discography. She has SO many different styles of songs and types of performances… 😊
- This is the Reputation Tour performance of “Don’t Blame Me”. It’s a big, powerhouse performance (legendary among fans):

Enjoy!
As a fellow swiftie really good choices!!!
Thank you! 😊
I would love to see "Bigger Than the Whole Sky" or "Would've, Could've, Should've"
Every time i hear this song i start to cry
If you haven't already, you should react to taylor swift's lyric video for her song called “Marjorie” it's about taylor's grandmother, marjorie finlay, who was an opera singer! the lyric video features real videos and pictures of her grandmother! and you should also react to taylor's lyric video for her song called “timeless” which is about her grandparents on both sides, and it features more pictures of marjorie (her grandmother) and her grandpa from around world war 2. taylor's grandpa fought in the war!
sepa a música mais triste e linda dela como pode
🥹it’s so sad❤
❤😊
Well, that was depressing . . . Can we do fun exciting music, please 🙏 🎉❤😅
I feel the Taylor version is much better. Better recordings remastered and she includes better artwork on the booklet etc
You got my sub for this.
I'm recommending some of her hard songs if you haven't heard. Be prepared for next time with tissue boxes.😊
