Taylor Swift Creates an Anthem For Young Love With Love Story


By Stevie Clark

Taylor Swift, despite her young age, has proven herself in the music scene as a talented singer/songwriter. In such a short span of time, she was able to gain the respect and praise not only of her fans but by her peers in the music industry as well. As a matter of fact, she managed to bag the Album of the Year award at the most recent Academy of Country Music Awards.

When her single Love Story became another hit, Taylor Swift proved yet once again that she is a certified country hit maker. She has always shown great potential even when she first broke out in the music scene. An artist who writes her own songs and plays the guitar, she is a certified country star.

The song is taken from her latest album, Fearless. It tells the story of a forbidden love from two young teenagers. In the song, Juliet, the narrator, begs her Romeo not to leave her and take her somewhere they can be alone. She wants to get away from people who disapproves of her love for Romeo.

She tells the story of how young they were when they saw each other. And that at a young age she would fall in love with Romeo who made his way through the crowd just to say hello. Because daddy wants Romeo to stay away from Juliet, she sneaks out to the garden for a rendezvous with her man and begs him not to go away.

Juliet is pained with the people around her who keep on telling her what to feel. But her love for Romeo is steadfast so she remains hopeful that she will be with her man. But eventually, she starts to lose faith because she got tired of waiting.

It helped a lot when the songwriter chose to use an allusion to the characters of the classic Shakesperian play Romeo and Juliet. This enabled the audience to relate better to the song and instantly understand what the writer is trying to say. Who doesn't know the tragic ending to Romeo and Juliet's love story? Once you hear the name of those two literary characters mentioned in the lyrics, you will instantly know the message of a song.

However, it doesn't matter if you relate to the message of the song clearly or not. This is one of the case where you take a song in its entireity. It's undeniable, the song sounds great. Good writing combined with great melody and interpretation.

Nothing else needs to be said. Taylor Swift scores another hit with this song. Love Story is relevant. It talks about something that touches the hearts of the audience, has catchy music and was sung with the gusto of a young girl in love.
