BUT I KNEW YOU
is it romantic? how all my elegies eulogize me?
but I knew you’d linger like a tattoo kiss I knew you’d haunt all of my what-ifs the smell of smoke would hang around this long ’cause I knew everything when I was young
“…it just gets loud sometimes”
Taylor Swift in Miss Americana (2020)
A tale that becomes folklore is one that is passed down and whispered around. Sometimes even sung about. The lines between fantasy and reality blur and the boundaries between truth and fiction becomes almost indiscernible. Speculation, over time, becomes fact. Myths, ghost stories, and fables. Fairytales and parables. Gossip and legend. Someone’s secrets written in the sky for all to behold.
There are two moments on folklore that make me grin from ear to ear every time I hear them: "and then it was bought by me" in the last great american dynasty and "one single thread of gold tied me to you" in invisible string. In both, you can hear her unbridled joy as she sings, and the music alludes to a sense of playfulness that I absolutely adore
"my gut is telling me that if you make something you love, you should just put it out into the world."
