“exile” features Bon Iver. The song opens with Bon Iver’s deep voice. This is one of the most powerful and melancholic lyrics on the album. Iver and Swift in perfect unison and harmony deliver a ballad that shows the end of an era. Iver’s power lyrics, “I think I’ve seen this film before/ And I didn’t like the end”, shows that the end of a love story is near. It is the end of a relationship fraught with problems, but though it is ending both do not want “exile”.
