대중음악 역사상 가장 위대한 싱어송라이터 중 하나라는 찬사가 전혀 아깝지 않은 테일러 스위프트는 지난 7월에 발매한 [folklore]에 이어 [evermore] 앨범을 깜짝 공개하며 어둡고 쓸쓸한 2020년의 마지막을 따뜻하고 다정한 손길로 어루만져 주었다
아무런 홍보 없이 발표되었음에도 불구하고 [evermore]는 디지털 다운로드와 스트리밍 만으로 33만 장의 판매고를 기록하며 테일러 스위프트에게 통산 8번째 빌보드 앨범 차트 1위를 안겨주었다. [folklore]로 정상을 차지한 지 불과 4개월 18일 만에 다시 1위를 거머쥔 덕에 테일러 스위프트는 차트 역사상 가장 단기간에 각기 다른 앨범으로 1위에 오른 여성 아티스트로 기록되었고, 그녀는 크리스마스 캐럴들이 점령한 12월 26일 자 차트의 새로운 승자가 되었다.
그저 [folklore]를 발표한 후에 곡 쓰는 것을 멈출 수 없어서 완성했다는 [evermore]는 코로나19로 외로운 겨울을 보내고 있을 사람들에게 위로가 되길 바라는 마음에서 발표한 것이다.
| I'm like the water when your ship rolled in that night Rough on the surface, but you cut through like a knife And if it was an open-shut case I never would have known from the look on your face Lost in your current like a priceless wine The more that you say, the less I know Wherever you stray, I follow I'm begging for you to take my hand Wreck my plans, that's my man Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind Head on the pillow, I can feel you sneakin' in 'Cause if you are a mythical thing Like you were a trophy or a champion ring But there was one prize I'd cheat to win The more that you say, the less I know Wherever you stray, I follow I'm begging for you to take my hand Wreck my plans, that's my man You know that my train could take you home Anywhere else is hollow I'm begging for you to take my hand Wreck my plans, that's my man Life was a willow, and it bent right to your wind They count me out time and time again Life was a willow, and it bent right to your wind But I come back stronger than a '90s trend Wait for the signal, and I'll meet you after dark Show me the places where the others gave you scars Now this is an open-shut case I guess I should'a known from the look on your face Every bait-and-switch was a work of art The more that you say, the less I know Wherever you stray, I follow I'm begging for you to take my hand Wreck my plans, that's my man You know that my train could take you home Anywhere else is hollow I'm begging for you to take my hand Wreck my plans, that's my man The more that you say, the less I know Wherever you stray, I follow I'm begging for you to take my hand Wreck my plans, that's my man You know that my train could take you home Anywhere else is hollow I'm begging for you to take my hand Wreck my plans, that's my man Hey, that's my man That's my man Yeah, that's my man Baby, every bait-and-switch was a work of art That's my man Hey, that's my man I'm begging for you to take my hand Wreck my plans, that's my man |
