me reliving my entire childhood listening to fearless (Taylor's version)

[loversmore]

TWELVE YEARS OF FEARLESS. “To me, Fearless is not the absence of fear. Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. To me, fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. Fearless is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again... even though every time you’ve tried before, you’ve lost. It’s fearless to have faith that someday things will change. Fearless is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you. I think loving someone despite what people think is fearless. Letting go is fearless. Then, moving on and being alright... That’s fearless too. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. That’s why I write these songs. Because I think love is fearless.”

there’s something inherently romantic about being so fucking familiar with an album that you can catch every minute change from a breath somewhere new to a lengthened vowel and what it all boils down to is fearless was a formative album for me and it always will be and i love revisiting it in such a wonderful way

[taylahswildestdreams]

I’m just so emotional....I remember counting down the days til fearless was released the first time when I was 14, and I remember listening to it in my bedroom for the first time after school, hoping that my first kiss would be when I was 15 just so I could relate to the song some more. I remember crying at the best day but not really understanding why (I do now). These songs have meant so much to me for so many years, to say that this album shaped me as a person is not an overstatement. To get to relive the magic of Fearless like it’s the first time again has been incredible. I’m so proud of Taylor, I’m so glad I found her music all those years ago, and I really hope I can tell her that one day.

The idea of Vault songs are terrifying... you’re telling me there’s more 1989 pop perfection, more whimsical self written Speak now masterpieces, more heartbreak anthems from Red, MORE HALF VENGEFUL/HALF IN LOVE HEAVY PRODUCTION FROM REP ?!?!?!

fearless was an album full of magic and curiosity, the bliss and devastation of youth, it was the diary of the adventures and explorations of a teenage girl who was learning tiny lessons with every new crack in the facade of the fairytale ending she’d been shown in the movies.

sincerely and fearlessly, taylor. (insp in replies)

[folksyswift]

“But maybe ‘Fearless’ did present the opportunity for the grandest experiment out of the gate: to recreate something that pure and heartfelt, with all the meticulousness a studio master like Swift can put to that process now, without having it seem like she’s faking sincerity. Let the think-pieces proceed — because this is about six hundred different shades of meta. But, all craftiness and calculation aside, there’s a sweetness to the regression that’s not inconsequential. It harks back to a time when she only wondered if she could be fearless, before she learned it the harder way for sure.”

god but the thing about fearless that was so important when it was released, and the thing that still makes it have so much impact all these years later, is because this was a teenage girl entering a male dominated music scene and saying, “no, i’m going to sing about my feelings, i am going to be open about my emotions, i am going to tell my stories.” it was so openly and honestly an album by a teenage girl, and that’s what made it so endearing. that’s what drew so many people to taylor, people who have now stuck around for over a decade, people who grew up with her. it was an album about crushes and puppy love and your best friend and your mother and the first day of high school and all those little moments in your life that seemed so huge at the time. she named names, she recounted specific details, she made sure we knew exactly what she was feeling and exactly who she was talking about. that’s what made it stand out, that’s why it put taylor on the map. it was an album that wanted to be a voice of young girls everywhere. and now she’s revisiting it, and she’s not as young as she once was, but she’s still honest and emotional and tells her own stories. and she’s kind to the girl she once was. treats every song that she wrote as a teenager with as much care and love as she did when she first recorded them, because taylor knows how important they were. how important they are. to the young girl who wrote them, and to the people they inspired everywhere.

the only thing remotely comparable to the high i get from listening to a taylor album for the first time is listening to a taylor album for the first time AND KNOWING ALL THE WORDS
