safe & sound

i never considered myself a fan of taylor swift because she is somewhat bimbotic and perhaps a little too hyper. her songs are catchy and nice, and i've definitely enjoyed listening to her albums. i'm just saying i was never really a fan, not like with jay chou.
BUT, recently i heard her new single on radio and i've really been loving this song. and when i saw the music video for it, i fell in love with her. her look was totally different from the usual big hair, cat-eye eyeliner and red lips. she looked so elegant and for the first time, absolutely stunning! yes, she's always looked good.. but it isn't the type of look i appreciate. if this is taylor swift grown up, i will probably convert and be a fan. her voice is amazing, there's no doubt about it. her live performances are really good and to me, that's very important if you want to call yourself a singer.

i really love her new look! hair, makeup, everything. i think she looks less slutty without the thick eyeliner.. haha! i'm not trying to be mean.. i'm just saying. (: and this is just such a beautiful song.. great harmonies with joy and john paul of the civil wars. somebody please teach me the tabs to this song. i promise to practice plucking!

here's the official music video for safe & sound.. enjoy!

i remember tears streaming down your face

when i said i'll never let you go

when all those shadows almost killed your light

i remember you said don't leave me here alone

but all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

just close your eyes, the sun is going down

you'll be alright, no one can hurt you now

come morning light, you and i'll be safe and sound

don't you dare look out your window

darling, everything's on fire

the war outside our door keeps raging on

hold on to this lullaby

even when the music's gone

just close your eyes, the sun is going down

you'll be alright, no one can hurt you now

come morning light, you and i'll be safe and sound
