Invisible String

“invisible string” is a distant song that is hazier with a simple background beat and harmonics from Swift. Swift here sees an invisible thread between her and her partner. Over time, their paths cross again and again. Eventually, this thread becomes entangled. With the words, “Wool to brave the seasons/One single thread of gold/Tied me to you”, this is the invisible thread that shows the unique and valuable connection between them. In the end when paths continue to meet again and again, there is an evitable connection.

The eleventh track of Taylor's new album 'Folklore' was written by Taylor Swift & Aaron Dessner. Produced by Aaron Dessner. It was recorded by Jonathan Low and Aaron Dessner at Long Pond (Hudson Valley, NY). Additional recording by Aaron Dessner at Gaite Lyrique (Paris, FR). Mixed by Jonathan Low at Long Pond (Hudson Valley, NY). Mastered by Randy Merrill at Sterling Sound (New York, NY). The track was released on July 24, 2020.

What the artist means On ‘invisible string’, Taylor begins with alluding to innocent times when she was going, green and in love. She's talking about a past fling or crush and she's crooning over a bare instrumental. She's being so nostalgic here talking about an invisible string, her voice is so pure on this and she sounds like she's missing something. It looks like she's reliving better or worse times, you cannot be quite sure with this blonde superstar. Here she's imploring listeners to listen more than once and devoid of distractions to grasp all the gems in this as she talks about demons and past mistakes. The production of the track is incredible as she thinks about a few boys that broke her hearts but now she's the bigger person and she's sending their babies presents. What a flex! Her crooning voice is one for the ages and she sounds so powerful and in tune with her superpowers on this track.

What the song means to me The song has so many hidden gems, it's basically the epitome of Taylor's growth over the years as an artist. There is a sense of strength and maturity on this track and it sees her transform from a bitter ex-lover to a woman that is in control of her immediate and extended environment. She's no longer bitter, she's positive. She's no longer sad, instead she's quite content. It's so amazing seeing one of your favorites grow before your very eyes and luckily for us we're seeing Taylor Swift do just that. The song makes me feel at ease and pushes me to try and be the bigger man and a better person. I will give this song a rating of 9/10.

I think this song is about how time is so unpredictable and throughout our lives we never know where we are going to end up, with who we might end up with, or how it's going to change us in the end. For instance, she talks about how her (I'm assuming) boyfriend Joe listened to Bad Blood on his first trip to LA and then ate at her favorite spot for dinner. These are little things that at the moment don't seem like much but eventually they become small coincidences to them that further prove why they are connected by some "invisible string". I also like how she mentions that she was pulled from all the wrong arms and into that dive bar. If anyone heard "Delicate" you will see how these two songs are connected.
