Fighting dragons of course refers to the strain in Taylor Swifts song "Long Live". Taylor will without a question have her dragons to fight. Generally from those who are envious of her.There is a lot to be envious 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 work of those that criticized her singing.
e go in a man of technology,and about music these years 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 actually need more of those?
As a player of many years, I will prove that Taylor can indeed sing, and she also does a decent job with the harmony tracks on her albums. Taylor is more of a land 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 subject of "Mouth Now" she had the elusive job of competing with her own album "Fearless". "Fearless" was a really successful album to say the least. With "Speak Now" Taylor had to show that she could keep producing powerful tracks like "You Go With me" and others. Thats no light task since these songs were top notch.Im happy to describe that "Speak Now" does show that she is an excellent songwriter.
The songs on "Speak Now" are really personal and very ambitious.She did precisely 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 often more of a rock song than her usual style. Her songs are of such quality that I recognise a list of other artists could read them succesfully. But, I would sooner hear Taylor sing them.
Taylor has naught to care 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 hint of new air. She writes about her good luck in "Long Live". Incidentally, her lyrics are pretty impressiveas well.
Taylor will no doubt face many dragons.Trying to delight everyone all the time. Trying to save up her exemplary role model actions, trying to remain popular without compromise. Trying to keep true to herself and make a right life aside from the spotlight. But dont worry Taylor, there is an army of us more than ready to be "fighting dragons with you."
