Taylor Swift’s Out Of The Woods out now!
By Aly Barchi | Published on Tuesday 14 October 2014
Today (14 Oct) is the day that Taylor ‘haters gonna hate’ Swift is going to ‘exclusively unlock’ (ie basically release in the regular way, via iTunes only) a new track from her so-exciting-I-might-die forthcoming LP ‘1989’.
That said, it wasn’t available on iTunes UK when young Swift non-haters logged on over their Cornflakes this morning, leading to plenty of disappointment flooding out onto the social networks, and ‘iTunes UK’ trending on Twitter. But let’s just assume it’s going to appear here before bedtime, and anticipate just how gleeful that will be.
Though if you’re sitting there anticipating an ordinary pop song in the new track, oh… you have no idea how naive you’re acting right now. In reality, its depth of sentiment is like that of a deep, deep, immeasurably deep ocean. An ocean, that is, of T-Swizzy’s deepest feelings, mainly feelings linked to “fragility” and, additionally, to “wondering”.

Musically, I wanted to convey that kind of frantic feeling of wondering. This song stresses that even if the relationship is breakable and fragile, it doesn’t mean it isn’t worthwhile and beautiful and all the things we look for”.
