Fighting dragons of course refers to the air in Taylor Swifts song "Long Live". Taylor will without a doubt have her dragons to fight. Generally from those who are envious of her.There is a lot to be jealous of.She is attractive, talented, and a multi millionaire.
And that of course means some people out there will dislike you.
Some of the dragons came in the influence of those that criticized her singing.
e go in a man of technology,and most music these days is over-produced combinations of sample technology and effects.Taylor Swift is not your common diva. Its true that Taylor is not a power voice celebrity Like Christina A. for example. But do we really require more of those?
As a participant of many years, I will show that Taylor can indeed sing, and she also does a nice job with the harmony tracks on her albums. Taylor is more of a state to earth artist.There are no super kick drum tracks and vocal loops. Many times it comes down to just her and her guitar.
Taylor is in my finding a songwriter first. In the case of "Mouth Now" she had the tough job of competing with her own album "Fearless". "Fearless" was a very successful album to say the least. With "Speak Now" Taylor had to prove that she could keep producing powerful tracks like "You Go With me" and others. Thats no easy task since these songs were top notch.Im happy to discover that "Speak Now" does indicate that she is an excellent songwriter.
The songs on "Speak Now" are real personal and very ambitious.She did exactly what she should get done. She kept up with the pop hits, while breaking new ground. "Innocent" for example almost sounds like a sad cabaret song, slightly disonent yet remarkably catchy. "Haunted" is another personal favorite which is much more of a rock song than her usual style. Her songs are of such character that I know a number of other artists could take them succesfully. But, I would rather hear Taylor sing them.
Taylor has nothing to worry about. She is a great songwriter and performer, and Im sure she will outlast many of todays artists. She is also grateful and appreciative of her popularity.In a world where millionaire teen stars are put in jail weekly,or caught on film with drugs, Taylor is a touch of new air. She writes about her good fortune in "Long Live". Incidentally, her lyrics are pretty impressiveas well.
Taylor will no doubt face many dragons.Trying to please everyone all the time. Trying to deliver up her exemplary role model actions, trying to remain popular without compromise. Trying to keep true to herself and have a good life apart from the spotlight. But dont worry Taylor, there is an army of us more than ready to be "fighting dragons with you."
