December 22 started out as a typical day during break for me and thousands of other Taylor Swift and Hunger Game fans, but once Taylor Swift started tweeting about an upcoming surprise she had for her fans, I knew it wasn't going to be another normal day. She then tweeted "And this is it, the big surprise... Go get it! #The HungerGames" With a link to a picture of the "Safe and Sound" cover. Here's Taylor's tweets hinting to her fans about the surprise.
Safe and Sound is a song on the Hunger Games, a upcoming movie, soundtrack sung by Taylor and featuring the Civil Wars. This news from Taylor on twitter started spreading and soon "Safe and Sound" was trending and became the top trending topic on twitter in the U.S. and the second most trending topic on twitter in the world. Soon enough, later that day, "Safe and Sound" became the number one song on iTunes, which Taylor later tweeted thanking her fans for doing. I was at a friend's house when i checked twitter and heard the news that Taylor had a new song out. The first thing I did when I got home was I went on iTunes and bought the song. I then listened to the song and was so shocked by what I heard. "Safe and Sound" is a completely new sound from anything I've heard Taylor do before. The song is an acoustic ballad and it is so beautiful to hear. The blend of her voice and the Civil Wars is just breathtaking. I then listened to it on repeat in my room from then on. I think the lyrics are amazing like every other song Taylor has written. The composers of the song are Taylor Swift, Joy Williams, John Paul White, and T Bone Burnett. The chorus is, "Just close your eyes, the sun is going down. You'll be all right, no one can hurt you now. Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound." My favorite song lyric though is, "Don't you dare look out your window darling everything's on fire. The war outside our door keeps raging on. Hold on to this lullaby, even when the music's gone." The full lyrics to the song can be found here. The music just moves me, you can listen to it by playing the video below. I really recommend you go and buy it on iTunes.
