I'm very happy to say the next single from 1989 will be 'New Romantics'.

(現在才知道可以嵌入推特的貼文,真是傻了我)
該說很意外嗎,其實有一點
本人當初認為,1989時代到Out of the Woods就結束了、一切clean,應該不會再有單曲了...
結果...好吧,還真的打了New Romamtics。
其實原因很簡單,豪華加歌之中就這首"看似"最沒有明顯寫出特定對象
看看其他兩首,Wonderland給Dianna、You Are In Love給"某人"
泰勒也不想冒這風險,於是就打了個安全的、訊息較不明顯的歌曲。
再者,這首歌很像是寫對新事物、新朋友、新愛情的那種期待及興奮感
怎麼感覺跟某首歌類似? 沒錯,就是Red裡當作最後主打的"22"!
而我感覺這也會是1989時代最後一首主打單曲。
接著,關於22的隱藏訊息,是"Ashley Dianna Claire Selena",這是寫給泰勒當時的4個好朋友:
Selena Gomez、Ashley Avignone、Dianna Agron、Claire Kislinger等四人。
下面是歌詞:
It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters
And make fun of our exes, uh uh uh uh
It feels like a perfect night for breakfast at midnight
To fall in love with strangers uh uh uh uh
我們假裝扮成時髦文青,還一起數落著前任男友
甚至在半夜吃著早餐
感覺很像是愛上了陌生人一樣地新奇
但無論如何,這是個完美的夜晚!!
Yeaaaah
We're happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time
It's miserable and magical oh yeah
Tonight's the night when we forget about the deadlines, it's time uh uh
是啊
這時候的我們,看似既快樂又自在,但心裡還是會感到困窘跟寂寞
難道成長就是這樣的甘苦交織? 沒錯!
就在這個晚上,我們可以沒有時間限制地狂歡...
I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22
Everything will be alright if you keep me next to you
You don't know about me but I bet you want to
Everything will be alright if we just keep dancing like we're 22, 22
我是不知道妳怎麼想,但我感覺自己像是還在22歲一樣
有妳在我左右,一切都能順利安好!
妳雖然還不了解我,但我打賭妳會想的!
於是我們放開一切,就這樣一直跳著舞,感覺就像回到22歲一樣!
It seems like one of those nights
This place is too crowded too many cool kids
(Who's Taylor Swift, anyway? Ew)
It seems like one of those nights
We ditch the whole scene and end up dreaming instead of sleeping
就像其他的夜晚一樣
我們都是與一群潮女共處一室(到底,那個泰勒是何方神聖?)
跟其他時候一樣
我們一起討論、勾勒出未來的夢想
這比嗨到累掛及睡死要好得多!
Yeaaaah
We're happy free confused and lonely in the best way
It's miserable and magical oh yeah
Tonight's the night when we forget about the heartbreaks, it's time uh uh
是啊
這時候的我們,看似既快樂又自在,但心裡還是會感到困窘跟寂寞
難道成長就是這樣的甘苦交織? 沒錯!
就在今晚,我們要把過去的悲傷通通忘記!
I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22
Everything will be alright if you keep me next to you
You don't know about me but I bet you want to
Everything will be alright if we just keep dancing like we're 22, 22
我是不知道妳怎麼想,但我感覺自己像是還在22歲一樣
有妳在我左右,一切都能順利安好!
妳雖然還不了解我,但我打賭妳會想的!
於是我們放開一切,就這樣一直跳著舞,感覺就像回到22歲一樣!
I don't know about you, 22, 22
這就是22歲啊!
It feels like one of those nights
We ditch the whole scene
It feels like one of those nights
We won't be sleeping
It feels like one of those nights
You look like bad news I gotta have you, I gotta have you
在這個特別的夜晚
我們要一起討論、勾勒出未來的夢想
當然
要我們睡覺是不可能的事!
而這個時候
妳看起來就像我的23歲青春!
我遲早會認識妳
也一定要得到妳!
I don't know about you but I'm feeling 22
Everything will be alright if you keep me next to you
You don't know about me but I bet you want to
Everything will be alright if we just keep dancing like we're 22, 22
我是不知道妳怎麼想,但我感覺自己像是還在22歲一樣
有妳在我左右,一切都能順利安好!
妳雖然還不了解我,但我打賭妳會想的!
於是我們放開一切,就這樣一直跳著舞,感覺就像回到22歲一樣!
Dancing like 22, yeah, 22, yeah yeah
像是永遠地停在22歲,一直跳著舞!
It feels like one of those nights
We ditch the whole scene
It feels like one of those nights
We won't be sleeping
It feels like one of those nights
You look like bad news I gotta have you, I gotta have you
在這個特別的夜晚
我們要一起討論、勾勒出未來的夢想
當然囉
要我們睡覺是不可能的事!
而這個時候
妳看起來就像我的23歲青春!
我遲早要認識妳
也一定要,得到妳!

不管MV的狂歡情景,其實仔細看看這首歌的歌詞
明顯是首愛情向的歌曲,只是大家都被隱藏訊息跟MV給"誤導"了
沒錯,這首歌是泰勒寫給當時好友的其中一人,而這個人,就是Dianna Agron。
理由?
這是泰勒原先寫的"22"歌詞手稿,是關於最後一段的部分。
此時先看一下被圈起來改掉的部分:
Sometimes it hits me. We're moving quickly.
Toward same thing hazy, a future I can't see.
Let's break the old rules, while we're still 22.
You look like bad news.
I gotta have you.
我們進展的很快,就像某種東西擊中了我一樣
可是,擋在前方的,是不可預知的未來
於是我們只好趁還在22歲的時候,打破那些常規!
妳就像我那即將到來的23歲青春
我一定要好好愛上妳!
只是泰勒認為這段歌詞的"意圖"太過明顯
所以才改成:
It feels like one of those nights
We ditch the whole scene
It feels like one of those nights
We won't be sleeping
It feels like one of those nights
You look like bad news I gotta have you, I gotta have you
這種沒特別暗示的歌詞,再加上MV,也就能成功把歌曲引成友情導向了。
所以,照這樣推斷下去,New Romantics就是寫給"某人"的? 也不盡然。
個人以為是泰勒遇到新環境、新朋友(當然包括新的愛情)等等全新的事物,有感而發才寫下的
(也就是在到紐約之後,恩)
因此如果要為New Romantics附一個隱藏訊息的話
那很有可能是:Lorde、Ellie、某人、Lily。
目測MV有可能會是巡迴剪輯,我看泰勒最近也不想排甚麼行程-.-(跟某人見面除外)
但不管怎樣,1989,終於算是畫下句點
而接下來等著她的,是全新的人生篇章。
