The song "Fortnight" by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word "fortnight" shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Are you ready
Here comes the change
Are you ready
For that change?
Almighty Father
He's a powerful Savior
Almighty Father
He's a powerful Savior
So you must throw away your guns
And come with your heart, brother
I said to throw away your guns
And come with your heart, brother
My sister, if you live by the sword
You shall perish by the sword
If you live by the sword
You shall perish by the sword, brother
My sister, you must remember the word is love
And the name of the game is freedom
Remember the word is love
And the name of the game is freedom for all
So won't you sing it out, freedom
I got to tell you now, freedom
A happy ending, freedom
So you must throw away your guns
And come with your heart, brother
I said to throw away your gun
And come with your heart, brother
My sister, you must remember the word is love
And the name of the game is freedom
Remember the word is love
And the name of the game is freedom for all
Here comes the change
Are you ready
For that change?
Almighty Father
He's a powerful Savior
Almighty Father
He's a powerful Savior
So you must throw away your guns
And come with your heart, brother
I said to throw away your guns
And come with your heart, brother
My sister, if you live by the sword
You shall perish by the sword
If you live by the sword
You shall perish by the sword, brother
My sister, you must remember the word is love
And the name of the game is freedom
Remember the word is love
And the name of the game is freedom for all
So won't you sing it out, freedom
I got to tell you now, freedom
A happy ending, freedom
So you must throw away your guns
And come with your heart, brother
I said to throw away your gun
And come with your heart, brother
My sister, you must remember the word is love
And the name of the game is freedom
Remember the word is love
And the name of the game is freedom for all

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
