Taylor Swift - "Carolina"


Recommended Posts

Posted

I like the music, but I find the lyrics pretty bland and impersonal for her standards. This doesn’t have the emotional resonance or personal connection she usually works into songs inspired by films, stories, or characters. 
 

Her second worst soundtrack song since TWAF. :michael:

It’s okay. Miss Carolina is no Ivy though.

 

Years later, makes you wonder why Safe & Sound is still her best soundtrack.

Cute. S&S remains untouched.

This is lacking the punch it had in the movie trailer :biblio: so boring. The trailer version was so haunting.

Yeah the dramatic punch in the movie was so much better! If they are gonna do two versions, they should make the video edit one more dramatic.

I really LOVE that moment at 3:40 when it feels like the song has ended and miss thing starts singing OH CAROLINAAA again. Aaron should've added a drum there.

it was GOOD for her and yes a i was liking the love post towards her:jonny4:

every listen i give the more i love it

She always releases a dud before an album to get all the leftovers of the previous era out of her system. Get ready cause soon TS10 is coming to a store near you!

taylor's problem is that she chooses her projects in the movies badly (music for movies in this case)....no one will see this movie besides being aimed at teenagers...the academy hates this type of movie.... she had to learn a little from gaga in this matter

i have to say...it sounds better at 1.25x speed

She chooses movies based on Her interests, not because of a thirst for recognition from any direction. I'd be a bit appalled if She signed on a war propaganda film just because.

The problem is usually it's the film producers who decide what music to put into their film, for example Tom Cruise fired 21 Pilots and replaced them with Gaga. Taylor's teen skewed demographic would make producers think twice before asking her to do a song, that's why most of her film soundtracks are in those specific types of films.

Y'all, listen to how she sings "here" at 3:31. I think it's her best vocal performance of all time :jonny4:

I mean I agree that she chooses bad movies usually although she got super unlucky with Safe & Sound. I do feel like IDWLF was the closest she was actually.

 

This movie is based on a smash book, if it does well it could boost the song's chances. And she has to do some work obviously campaigning for both Carolina and ATWTV :fan:

Taylor/Lana hybrids always win :jonnycat:

 

That lower register, whew. Truly the grown up Safe & Sound.

Posted

Sounds very Lana ( In a good way)

Posted

Yeah it serves more The Civil Wars than Lana.

 

I just couldn’t figure it out how the song would work based on the snippets and it turned out the song has very unexcpected flow melody wise, still really like it :heart2:

 

S&S is still her best soundtrack song.. for now :-*

 

 

Posted

I love it. It's so beautiful and haunting.. 

Posted

Boring. Serving folklore instead of EverGOD.
