Taylor Swift

I'm hooked on country music and it's all Melissa's fault!

Hahaha... I know, I haven't blogged for eons and here I am with 2 posts back to back! Ah well.. I guess that's what temporary insomnia does to people... either that or it's just cos I'm music driven.... Hmm.. maybe I'm in the wrong field and should be doing something related to music. I just can't think of what... considering I can't play any musical instuments and I can't carry a tune if my life depended on it. That doesn't stop me from appreciating what is beautiful though :)

Anyways, I accidentally discovered Taylor Swift on YouTube. I mean, considering I am anti-radio stations because the static makes me want to vomit (and that someone as untalented as JoJo Struys can actually be a DJ on MIX Fm totally baffles me). Never mind...

I said, I accidentally discovered Taylor Swift on YouTube under the section of "Vidoes Being Watched Now" and I thought she was incredible!! :D

I know you are wondering now why I blame my Mello Bello Portobello Pomelo for my sudden interest in country music. Well... it's cause she keeps promoting it and brainwashing me!! (It's a lame excuse... she actually recommended Brad Paisley but I couldn't manage to download the songs yet and I just wanted an excuse to call her by her adorable nickname on my blog~ Hehe...).

Taylor Swift is a 19-year old singer songwriter who was introduced to the music scence in 2006. She wrote or co-wrote all the songs on her debut album entitled "Taylor Swift". How cool is that? :) I guess the song I like the most is "I'd Lie" with the most heart-warming lyrics describing an unknown crush...

I don't think the passenger seat has ever looked this good to me

He tells me about his night, I count the colurs in his eyes

He'll never falls in love he swears

As he runs his fingers through his hair

I'm laughing cos I hope he's wrong

I don't think it ever crossed his mind

He tells a joke, I fake a smile

But I know all his favourite songs

And I could tell you

His favourite colour's green

He likes to argue

Born on the 17th

His sister's beautiful

He has his father's eyes

But if you ask me if I love him...

I'd lie...

He looks around the room

Innocently overlooks the truth

Shouldn't a light go on?

Doesn't he know I've had him memorized for so long?

He sees everything in black and white

Never let nobody see him cry

I don't let nobody see me wishing he was mine

I could tell you
His favourite colour's green
He likes to argue
Born on the 17th
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
But if you ask me if I love him...
I'd lie...

He stands there, then walks away

My God, if I could only say

"I'm holding every breath for you..."

He'd never tell you, but he can play guitar

I think he can see through everything but my heart

First thought when I wake up is

"My God, he's beautiful"

I put on my make-up and pray for a miracle...

And I could tell you

His favourite colour's green

He likes to argue

Born on the 17th

His sister's beautiful

He has his father's eyes

But if you ask me if I love him...

If you ask me if I love him...

I'd lie...

I'm a sucker for ballads and romance *dreamy gaze*

Then there's another song also running along the same lines but the it's entitled "Teardrops on my Guitar". Even the title is like so sad already right?!

**********

Drew looks at me

I fake a smile so he won't see

That I want and I'm needing, everything that we should be

I'll bet she's beautiful

That girl he talks about

She's got everything that I've had to live without

Drew talks to me

I laugh cos it's so damn funny

I can't even see, anyone when he's with me

He says he's so in love

He's finally got it right

I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar

The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star

He's a song in the car I keep singing

Don't know why I do...

**********

And then there's the cheeky tune of "Picture to Burn" about a breakup gone wrong:

**********

To state the obvious I didn't get my perfect fantasy

I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me

So go and tell your friends I'm obsessive and crazy

That's fine I'll tell mine you're gay

By the way

I hate that stupid old pickup truck you never let me drive

You're a redneck heartbreaker

Who's really bad at lying

Watch me strike a match on all my wasted time

As far as I'm concerned you're just another picture to burn

**********

And of course, who could forget her hit single "Tim McGraw" in which she wrote based on an actual experience...

**********

You said the way my blue eyes shined

Put those Georgia stars to shame that night

I said "That's a lie"

Just a boy in a Chevy truck

It had a tendency of getting stuck in backroads at night

And I was right there beside him all summer long

And then the time we woke up to find that summer'd gone

When you think Tim McGraw

I hope you think my favourite song

The one we danced to all night long

The moon like a spotlight on the lake

When you think happiness

I hope you think that little black dress

Think of my head on your chest

And my old faded blue jeans

When you think Tim McGraw

I hope you think of me...

September saw a month of tears

Thanking God you weren't here to see me like that

But in a box beneath my bed is a letter you never read

Three summers back

It's hard not to find it all a little bittersweet

And looking back on all of that, it's nice to believe...
