Opening with a slight bit of atmospherics, then a few notes on gut string guitar open the panoramic view of what…? That little girl breathiness of Swift’s has an ash tree texture to it: washed out, white and somehow lonely as it reaches for the sky.
When the Wars join in on the chorus, her tone brightens. There’s a sunniness that seeps in, a resolve that almost seems to have faith in itself. Bolstered by the ghostly voices behind her, their voices add a strength to Swift’s almost ethereal Kate Bush-ynesss.
Nice piece. But the writers ignorance and prejudice kind of shines through too much.
Especially here:
Quote:
Unlikely bed-fellows, seemingly from universes that are galaxies apart. One indie to the point of seceding from the business and building their chart domination hand-over-hand, from the ground up. The other signed to a label called Big Machine, tubro-charged and willing to make momentum cower in her wake.

One Direction's "Up All Night" descends two spots to No. 8 with 41,000, marking the album's 15th straight week in the top 10 (its entire chart run). The last set to earn its first 15 frames in the top 10 was Adele's "21." Previous to Adele, Taylor Swift's "Speak Now" racked its first 15 weeks in the top 10 between Nov. 13, 2010 and Feb. 19, 2011.
