Old habits die screaming, 'cause when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed, you put me on and said I was your favorite, and I still can't believe it because I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired, but I just don't understand how you don't miss me in the shower and remember how my rain-soaked body was shaking, because you drew stars around my scars but now I'm bleeding, and even if I die screaming I hope you hear it

“That one's interesting. It's actually, what you hear when that song starts, you hear the air conditioning in the backstage of an arena in Germany where The National was playing, where I wrote it, because it was really.cold. It was like a hockey arena in Germany or something, and it was an awful, awful situation, but then that's me patting my leg, like playing drums on my leg, which I often do, which I kind of learned over time that if you record yourself like, playing surfaces or your body, and record it with an iPhone, it just sounds cool. I wrote the music first and Taylor wrote to it. I think she said that when she heard that sound of the, what is me like, playing my thigh essentially, that it reminded her of someone walking on cobblestones in high heels, like, unevenly, and that gave her an image in her mind which sort of like, led her into the narrative that she wrote.”

The Dessner quotes remind me of even early Taylor talking about having the whole production in her head when writing songs. Liz Rose said the famous clap in You Belong With Me was already on their original work tape.

one of my favorite things taylor has ever said is that songs float down to her like a cloud some (a lot) of the time but she’s also built the skill and nurtured the work ethic to see them through to finality. drives me craaaazy that fans regularly call her sloppy and lazy

“I’m going to debunk that [idea that those vocals are designed to sound like The System Only Dreams In Total Darkness]. It's a good story how this happened. Taylor was, she actually. arranged those vocals to go at the end of the song, so she was doing those choral, like these angelic, choral parts over the end of the last chorus of the song that you hear-when you listen to the song, you'll hear her doing that. But then she actually said, 'What if that went at the beginning of the song?' Taylor is interesting when she records, because she has kind of mapped it out in her head. Part of it like, comes naturally to her. It's also because she's been thinking about it. But she'11 come in and kind of have a whole architecture in her head that she's going to chase down, and that was one of those things. But then we were like, 'Oh, wow, That's so beautiful. What if it comes at the beginning?' And then she kind of sang more to it.”
