"When all those shadows almost killed your light..."


"Just close your eyes, the sun is going down.
You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now.
Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound."

For me, this song reminds me a lot of Black Saturday. It could almost be someone singing about what they felt and saw as they were surrounded by the fire. I can picture these lyrics as words spoken to someone who knew there would be no escaping the fire. They are words of comfort. But matched with this video, it really does resemble an incident of being trapped in a fire like the ones on Black Saturday.
This is the best I've heard Taylor Swift be, but that's my own irrelevant opinion. In this video, she could almost be a ghost, walking around the forest where the fire had been and taken away her life.
Or something. Too creepy? That's just what I see! I'm creepy. That's fine.
But I love this song anyway, even while it reminds me of such a dark day.
Music can be pretty visual sometimes. I just thought I'd share the thought.
