Posted August 30, 20204 yr This week brings us a gem from Taylor's 1989 album. Lyrics: [Verse 1] He said, "Let's get out of this town Drive out of this city, away from the crowds" I thought, "Heaven can't help me now" Nothing lasts forever But this is gonna take me down [Pre-Chorus 1] He's so tall and handsome as hell He's so bad, but he does it so well I can see the end as it begins My one condition is [Chorus] Say you'll remember me Standing in a nice dress Staring at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again Even if it's just in your Wildest dreams, ah-aah, haa Wildest dreams, ah-aah, haa [Verse 2] I said, "No one has to know what we do" His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room And his voice is a familiar sound Nothing lasts forever But this is gettin' good now [Pre-Chorus 2] He's so tall and handsome as hell He's so bad, but he does it so well And when we've had our very last kiss My last request, it is [Chorus] Say you'll remember me Standing in a nice dress Staring at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again Even if it's just in your Wildest dreams, ah-aah, haa (Ah-aah, haa) Wildest dreams, ah-aah, haa [bridge] You'll see me in hindsight, tangled up with you all night Burnin' it down Someday when you leave me, I'd bet these memories Follow you around You'll see me in hindsight, tangled up with you all night Burning (Burning) it (It) down (Down) Someday when you leave me, I'll bet these memories Follow (Follow) you (You) around (Around) (Follow you around) [breakdown] Say you'll remember me Standing in a nice dress Staring at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again Even if it's just pretend [Chorus] Say you'll remember me Standing in a nice dress Staring at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again Even if it's just in your (Pretend, just pretend) Wildest dreams, ah-aah, ha (Ah-aah-aah-aah-aah-hahaa) In your wildest dreams, ah-aah, haa Even if it's just in your Wildest dreams, ah-aah, haa In your wildest dreams, ah-aah, haa IdneKLhsWOQ How well has this song held up over the years?
August 30, 20204 yr One of my favourite Taylor songs of all time, it's in my top 10 of her discography :heart: :heart: (I think I'd rank it 7th!) The song is just perfect. It's v. Lana but she nails it so well, so ofc this was my immediate album stan track from the album! I was so glad this became a single and was gigantic in America <3 The lyrics are perfect and the production is beautiful :heart: I adore the video too, its so underrated and is one of her best imo! Tho however... the video version/radio edit>>>the original version. that extra kick in the final chorus is lifechanging <3

September 4, 20204 yr This is one of my favorites. I'm not sure where it ranks on my list overall, but I love it. I find it so hard ranking her discography! I thought I finally had my top 9 set in stone (with the top 5 in an undecided order still ahaha) but now epiphany/cardigan/christmas tree farm said no to that :lol:
