Please picture me
In the trees
I hit my peak at seven feet
In the swing
Over the creek
I was too scared to jump in
But I, I was high in the sky
With Pennsylvania under me
Are there still beautiful things?

Sweet tea in the summer
Cross your heart, won't tell no other
And though I can't recall your face
I still got love for you
Your braids like a pattern
Love you to the moon and to Saturn
Passed down like folk songs
The love lasts so long

And I've been meaning to tell you
I think your house is haunted
Your dad is always mad and that must be why
And I think you should come live with
Me and we can be pirates
Then you won't have to cry
Or hide in the closet
And just like a folk song
Our love will be passed on

Please picture me
In the weeds
Before I learned civility
I used to scream ferociously
Any time I wanted
I, I

Sweet tea in the summer
Cross my heart, won't tell no other
And though I can't recall your face
I still got love for you
Pack your dolls and a sweater
We'll move to India forever
Passed down like folk songs
Our love lasts so long

    This is a song about how innocent childhood friendship is. This is a song of remembering how innocent childhood is and how imaginative. It is an ode to a time when everything was pure and untouched. This is a song of Swift’s nostalgia for childhood. This is one of the more emotional songs on the album. While it is a sweet, simple song, the feelings of Swift’s youth being ripped away are palpable.

    The seventh track of Taylor's new album 'Folklore' was written by Taylor Swift & Aaron Dessner. Produced by Aaron Dessner. It was recorded by Jonathan Low and Aaron Dessner at Long Pond (Hudson Valley, NY). Mixed by Jonathan Low at Long Pond (Hudson Valley, NY). Mastered by Randy Merrill at Sterling Sound (New York, NY). The track was released on July 24, 2020.

    What the artist meansOn the seventh track of folklore aptly named 'seven' Taylor doesn't even let us catch our breath after the artful previous track. She belts the notes 'please picture me in the trees...' and it's a beautiful journey from then on. One thing I noticed in this song is the soft yet powerful production. She's speaking about a lover here again and this feels like a plea for faithfulness and loyalty from both parties. She's thinking of calling the lover's bluffs and beckoning him to abandon his home and come to live with her. It's so sweet imagining Taylor saving a lover from a really toxic environment as she crosses her heart and promises never to betray this lover if he can just take the risk. The production of the track is lush and it closes out the simply beautiful thing Taylor just created.

    What the song means to meThe song is a call to arms and a sweet love song where Taylor seems to return to her earlier country roots. I can totally relate to this because I've been telling my lover to move in for the past few months but she keeps giving excuses about not being able to forget her roots. The track's production is such a shining light and the album thus far feels like one of the best I've heard in a long, long time. Quite surreal! I will give this song a rating of 8/10.

Light Up The Sky Van Halen The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it. Cajun Girl Little Feat Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you” Magical Ed Sheeran How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner. Amazing Ed Sheeran Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
