Do you like "All You Had To Do Was Stay" by Taylor Swift?
I love it so much.
It has a modern touch but it's very reminiscent of Her Fearless days. It's soo good.
I tried looking for an audio on youtube btw but I couldn't find any.
Here you are now
Calling me up
But I don't know what to say
I've been picking up the pieces of the mess you made
People like you always want back the love they pushed aside
But people like me are gone forever
WHEN YOU SAY GOODBYE
The "stays" in the background of the chorus ruin the song a bit for me tho.
Sis. The stay elevates the song for me.
And to quote one of the fans who attended the sessions:
Quote:
that "stay" is the sound taylor heard in a dream, and she woke up and called max asap and was like HEAD TO A STUDIO NOW! and he was like wait no shellback is in sweden we cant record now, and she was like NOW! thats why only max worked on that song
Quote:
OH I don't know if it's been mentioned here but she told a little story before AYHTDWS about how she kept having the reoccurring dream where she would see one of her exes but every time he went to speak and open his mouth, the only thing that would come out was a really high pitched, operatic sound. So they incorporated that "STAAAAY" into the song.
Thought you might be interested in that! That elevated the song for me a lot too because I thought it was super clever and creative
