What the artist means
The drums are kicking in and Taylor Swift is gliding through the sky. She just broke her soul into two, but that didn't stop the tragedy from happening. She's looking for him, even though he's right here. She can't relate to him anymore, it's so hard when you're not on the same wavelength with a so-called lover. She's sitting on a bench on a lonely island wondering where her baby went, even though it's quite clear that it was her that chased him away. The National frontman doesn't mince words, he asks his lover why she refused to leave him, even though he pushed her to the edge. Taylor Swift replies that it goes way deeper than all of these, that their love tale goes beyond the internet, it's actually a forever thing, till the sun goes down. He's matching her lyric for lyric, and analyzing what happened when he had a ghastly accident as the last thing that he saw was her face. Both artists are ultra-sorry now, as they regret not making each other the centerfold, even though that's what they wanted and deserved.
What the song means to me
This duet might have looked so unlikely to succeed on paper, but it is undoubtedly one of the strongest records I've heard so far on the album. As both artistes simply ate the beat up, they sounded in tandem, and that resulted into something quite magical. The track makes me feel right at ease, it makes me feel like taking that risk, or telling my lover all the things I adore about her, because you could never tell how tomorrow would be. I will give this song a rating of 9/10.
