Leave the wolves behind. @lorelais-gilmore - Tumblr Blog

We lie awake in love and in fear, in turmoil and in tears. We stare at walls and drink until they speak back. We twist in our self-made cages and pray that we aren’t – right this minute – about to make some fateful life-altering mistake. This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams. The floors we pace and the demons we face. For all of us who have tossed and turned and decided to keep the lanterns lit and go searching – hoping that just maybe, when the clock strikes twelve…we’ll meet ourselves.

@taylorswift: Musically and lyrically, Red resembled a heartbroken person. It was all over the place, a fractured mosaic of feelings that somehow all fit together in the end. Happy, free, confused, lonely, devastated, euphoric, wild, and tortured by memories past. Like trying on pieces of a new life, I went into the studio and experimented with different sounds and collaborators. And I’m not sure if it was pouring my thoughts into this album, hearing thousands of your voices sing the lyrics back to me in passionate solidarity, or if it was simply time, but something was healed along the way.

Just a friendly reminder that I would never have thought it was possible to go back and remake my previous work, uncovering lost art and forgotten gems along the way, if you hadn’t emboldened me. Red is about to be mine again, but it has always been ours. Tonight we begin again. Red (my version) is out now.

“I feel like I know that everybody has busy lives so I do feel the need to explain what I’m doing, because it’s not normal. Basically, I’ve always wanted to own my music since I started making my music. Most of your favorite artists do not own their music. The music industry is [groans], at least certain corners of it. But I think there was something that happened years ago where I made it very clear that I wanted to buy my music, but that opportunity was not given to me and it was sold to somebody else, so I just figured I was the one who made the music first, and I can just make it again. So that’s what we’re doing! So when something says in parentheses (Taylor’s Version) next to it, that means I own it, which is exciting!”

“It’s also interesting to kind of go back and relive this nostalgia with fans who are the reason why I get to do this and why I get to sit here and have this lovely chat with you. Going back and reliving these things with fans and this time around, I get to do things I know they wish I would’ve done the first time. I’m always listening, always lurking for their opinions, theories. And they will let me know which songs should’ve been singles, which songs did not get videos that should have. So just know I’m listening and I’m making the videos and I’m doing the things.”
