What the artist means
On the seventh track of folklore aptly named 'seven' Taylor doesn't even let us catch our breath after the artful previous track. She belts the notes 'please picture me in the trees...' and it's a beautiful journey from then on. One thing I noticed in this song is the soft yet powerful production. She's speaking about a lover here again and this feels like a plea for faithfulness and loyalty from both parties. She's thinking of calling the lover's bluffs and beckoning him to abandon his home and come to live with her. It's so sweet imagining Taylor saving a lover from a really toxic environment as she crosses her heart and promises never to betray this lover if he can just take the risk. The production of the track is lush and it closes out the simply beautiful thing Taylor just created.
What the song means to me
The song is a call to arms and a sweet love song where Taylor seems to return to her earlier country roots. I can totally relate to this because I've been telling my lover to move in for the past few months but she keeps giving excuses about not being able to forget her roots. The track's production is such a shining light and the album thus far feels like one of the best I've heard in a long, long time. Quite surreal! I will give this song a rating of 8/10.
