cardigan

• şiir gibi sözleri olan taylor swift şarkısı. zamane gençleri için fazla uzun, fazla edebi gelebilir. ne yazık ki.
  
  ben hikayesi olan, bütünlük arzeden, müziğinde hissiyat ve emek olan şarkılarla büyüdüğüm için 90'lardan sonraki fastfood üretimlere katlanamıyorum. taylor swift'i the hunger games için the civil wars ile yaptığı düetle keşfettim. söz yazarlığındaki başarısının sırrı sadece yetenek ve hayal gücü değil, muhtemelen çok okuyor. anadiline hakim, edebiyatla bağı var.
  
  edith piaf: vay canına, söylenenlere göre bu şarkı ve albümdeki diğer iki şarkı (august ve betty) üçlemeymiş. james denen hırbo bety'i ınez'le aldatmış ve üç şarkı hikayeyi bu üç kişinin ağzından anlatıyormuş. ne kadar da postmodern bir albüm.
  
  yeni şarkısının sözleri böyle:
  
  vintage tee, brand new phone
  high heels on cobblestone
  when you are young they assume you know nothing
  sequence smile, black lipstick, sentual politics
  when you are young they assume you know nothing
  but ı knew you, dancin' in your levi's
  strong under the streetlights
  ı knew you, handed you my sweatshirt
  baby, cares it better
  
  and when ı felt like ı was an old cardigan
  under someones bed
  you put me on and said ı was your favorite
  
  a friend to all is a friend to none
  just two girls, lose the one
  when you are young they assume you know nothing
  but ı knew you
  playing hide-and-seek and
  giving me your weekends, ı
  ı knew you
  your heartbeat on the high line
  once in twenty lifetimes, ı
  
  and when ı felt like ı was an old cardigan
  under someone's bed
  you put me on and said ı was your favorite
  
  to kiss in cars, in downtown bars
  was all ı needed
  you drew stars around my scars
  but now ı'm bleedin'
  'cause ı knew you
  steppin' on the last train
  marked me bloodstain, ı
  ı knew you
  tried to change the ending
  peter losin' wendy, ı
  ı knew you
  leavin' like a father, runnin' like water, right
  when you are young they assume you know nothing
  but ı knew you'd linger like a tattoo, you kissed
  ı knew you
  the smell of smoke would hang around this long
  'cause ı knew everything when ı was young
  ı knew ı cursed you for the longest time
  
  ı knew you'd miss me when the thrill expired
  and you'd be standin' in my front porch lot
  and you'd come back to me
  and you'd come back to me
  and you'd come back to me
  and you'd come back
  
  and when ı felt like ı was an old cardigan
  under someone's bed
  you put me on and said ı was your favorite
