Taylor...

So I love Taylor Swift...

I would bet that every highschool girl does.

At first, I thought that she was - alright - and just like all the other girl singers trying to hit it big in Hollywood. But then I found out that she writes all her own music. Every word and every note is her own and original.

Not everyone can say that for themselves.

Right now in my perspectives class, we are researching the use of music sampling to make a different song. Is that copywriting or okay? That's what we are suppose to determin.

But if you write all your own music - like Taylor Swift - you wouldn't need to worry about if you are taking someone else's work.

The reason why writing your own music and lyrics is so important to me is because you will sing it with emotion. They are your feelings and emotions and thoughts and that will come out in the singing. Now whenever I listen to Taylor Swift, I know that the words are her own and accually mean something.
Forever and Always
...
Was I out of line?
Did I say something way too honest
That made you run and hide like a scared little boy?
I looked into your eyes, thought I knew you for a minute
Now I'm not so sure
So here's to everything, coming down to nothing
Here's to silence that cuts me to the core
Where is this going?
Thought I knew for a minute
But I don't anymore
And I stare at the phone and he still hasn't called
And then you feel so low, you can't feel nothin' at all
And you flashback to when he said forever and always
Invisible
She can't see the way your eyes will light up when you smile
She never noticed how you stop and stare whenever she walks by
And you can't see me wanting you the way you want her
But you are everything to me
And I just want to show you, she don't even know you
She's never gonna love you like I want to
And you just see right through me but if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful miracle, unbelievableInstead of just invisible
White Horse
Say you're sorry, that face of an angel
Comes out just when you need it to
As I paced back and forth all this time
Cause I honestly believed in you
Holding on, the days drag on
Stupid girl, I should have known
I should have known
I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to come around
