What the artist means
On exile Taylor goes in from the very first note. On this luscious track featuring Bon Iver she gets superstar help on this folk track. It's a duet and shows so much promise from the first note and it paints such a mature and sonically beautiful picture. Bon Iver's front man is crooning and we're loving it. Taylor sings so tender on this one and rides the beat as she experiences déjà vu on this track, she's seen this feeling before so she's leaving through the side door. The featured artiste here is owning the track and basically relegates Taylor to backing vocals at some point. As far as collaborative efforts go, this really exceeded my expectations as both artists speak about uncertainty and the need to take risks.
What the song means to me
Not going to lie, this track brought tears to my eye and it reminded me how beautiful a good pop duet should sound. Even more surprising is the fact that Bon Iver and Taylor don't exactly look like the best combo on paper kind of like a Lebron James and Steph Curry combo but it came off amazing. The two artistes complement each other and feed off their unlimited energy. It's a keeper and one of the best tracks of the year by a mile. Wow! I will give this song a rating of 10/10.
