Why Sad Beautiful Tragic is the saddest song Taylor Swift has ever written.
Taylor Swift writes a lot of sad songs. The word “sad” is pretty relative, I suppose, but what if I used the word heartbreaking or gut-wrenching? What if I asked you to name a Taylor Swift song that literally has left you curled up in a fetal position on your bedroom floor with your cat pawing at you to make sure you’re not dead? You’d probably say Last Kiss, or Dear John, or Cold As You, or All Too Well, or Tied Together With A Smile. I, myself, have spent many a night on my own bedroom floor listening to Come In With The Rain on repeat in the dismal darkness with a blanket wrapped around my face while rain patters at my windows. Nights like those, where I don’t want to talk to anyone, not even my cat, are tailor-made for Taylor Swift songs.
What makes a song sad?
It’s the way it sounds, sure – quiet and morose and woebegone all the way around – but then again you’d call Forever and Always a pretty sad song, too, wouldn’t you? And not just because of the piano version, but because of lines like back up, baby back up, did you forget everything and we almost never speak, because those lines hit home, in whatever way they do, for you. That’s what makes a Taylor Swift song sad.
The name of a person filters through your mind when you hear a lyric like and you come away with a great little story of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you and a memory passes in front of your eyes when Taylor sings you call me up again just to break me like a promise.
Taylor’s best sad songs have a tendency to reach a climax – in Dear John she howls that she’s shining like fireworks over his sad empty town. In All Too Well she wonders, angrily over a boom of guitars, if she asked for too much. In Last Kiss she comes pretty close to tears as she rummages through the rubble of what’s left of a relationship that she never thought would end. In Cold As You she’s accusatory, grinding out you never did give a damn thing, honey.
All of these are moments that you scream-cry through, that have you thinking no song has ever made me cry this hard until another Taylor Swift song has you saying the same thing.
But once again, it’s the lyrics that really get you.
What happens when you get a song that has no “chill inducing” climax? When happens when you can’t scream-cry along? What happens when Taylor doesn’t accuse anyone of anything, doesn’t howl, doesn’t get angry?
From the beginning, the first five seconds of Sad Beautiful Tragic, with the ringing, the sound of forgetting, and the thump thump thump of a train car blazing down the tracks, all the way to the end, the sudden drop off and silence, giving a feeling of being left behind altogether by a train that you can only spot as a speck in the distance, there is no climax. There are no accusations. There is only a dismal sort of hollowness. The listless plucking of the electric ukulele, sullenly marking each and every downfall of the relationship.
Images pass in front of your eyes as you listen to the song. Sad images, in grainy black and white, of a girl watching a train disappear. Of waking up alone in a cold bed after a dream that you had someone there with you. Of a crinkled up ten page letter shoved deep down into a forgotten coat hanging on a rack.
The ukulele spins around in circles in the background of the bridge, underneath the lifeless proclamations of distance, of timing, break down, fighting, like reading off a grocery list of heartaches. All the while you can see it, in blurry forms. A movie montage, moving almost too fast for you to really see the details in what’s happening. The bleakness in every thing she sings, it’s almost like you can feel her giving up. We had a beautiful magic love there, but now it’s just…sad. Tragic. Beautiful enough to want to get it back, and tragic enough that you just can’t.
This is why Sad Beautiful Tragic is the saddest song she’s ever written. There is no recalling of happy times, of when you’d kiss me when I was in the middle of saying something, of plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own. There is no accusation of anyone being so casually cruel in the name of being honest or of all the girls that you’ve run dry have tired lifeless eyes because you burned them out.
There is only a hollow sort of nothingness; borderline on acceptance, but not quite ready to give up yet, barely holding on by a thread, realizing you did something horribly, horribly wrong, but maybe we can try and fix it, get back there, to all the magic, if they could just listen...but before any of that can happen, the song thumps to a close – like a door slamming, a chain wrapped around the handle. Too late. The end.

She's not recording new songs. She's just recording the full 10 minute version of All Too Well. 
And some of you.
