Held by a Thread

As much as this Taylor Swift phenomenon has me cringing with every song of hers released on the radio, I decided to (somewhat randomly) give this song a thorough listen. It's given me a completely different view on Ms. Swift. The song has layers of emotions which are pulled away, verse by verse, accompanied by the melody of the guitar. An added bonus is that she supposedly writes her own music, which gives a genuine sense of true feeling throughout the song(s). Not to cheese it up, but when lyrics tend to coincide with what you're feeling or have been through, the music makes it seem that much more personable. I'll admit - it was the opening bending of notes that reeled me in. Enjoy for what it's worth.

  1. Ha I love this song! and mostly because it is so bluntly towards John Mayer

  2. What a playboy. Apparently he's a huge prick, but this time it resulted in someone making genuinely great music as a rebuttal. If it weren't for him supposedly hurting her, this song wouldn't exist. Maybe it would, just with a different name. I'm rambling.
