Taylor Swift Releases 'Speak Now' Title Track

by Jason Lipshutz, N.Y. | October 05, 2010 12:00 EDT

 

Taylor Swift crashes a wedding and tries to win back her guy in "Speak Now," the title track to her third album due Oct. 25. Released today on iTunes, the song finds the country star sneaking in on an ex-flame's wedding ceremony and imploring him, "Don't say yes, run away now/I'll meet you when you're out, of the church at the back door."

 

The song maintains the same steady tempo as first single "Mine," with Swift quietly beginning the song with the line, "I am not the kind of girl, who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion/But you are not the kind of boy, who should be marrying the wrong girl." "Speak Now" also features a gentle guitar solo and a rousing climax in which Swift belts the song's title.

 

The song will be the fourth track on "Speak Now," which will also include "Innocent," the track directed at Kanye West that was previewed at the MTV VMAs last month. "Mine" is currently at No. 11 on the Hot 100 after being released in August.

Speak Now

lyrics & music by Taylor Swift

 

I am not the kind of girl

Who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion

But you are not the kind of boy

Who should be marrying the wrong girl

 

I sneak in and see your friends, and her snotty little family

All dressed in pastel

And she is yelling at a bridesmaid, somewhere back inside a room

Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry

 

This is surely not what you thought it would be

I lose myself in a daydream where I stand and say

 

Don’t say yes, run away now

I’ll meet you when you’re out of the church at the backdoor

Don’t wait or say a single vow

You need to hear me out and they said speak now

 

Fun gestures are exchanged

And the organ starts to play a song that sounds like a death march

And I am hiding in the curtains

It seems that I was uninvited by your lovely bride-to-be

 

She floats down the aisle like a pageant queen

But I know you wish it was me, you wish it was me

Don’t you?

 

Don’t say yes, run away now

I’ll meet you when you’re out of the church at the backdoor

Don’t wait or say a single vow

You need to hear me out and they said speak now

 

Don’t say yes, run away now

I’ll meet you when you’re out of the church at the backdoor

Don’t wait or say a single vow

Your time is running out and they said speak now

 

I hear the preacher say speak now or forever hold your peace

There’s the silence, there’s my last chance

I stand up with shaking hands, all eyes on me

Horrified looks from everyone in the room

But I’m only looking at you

 

I am not the kind of girl

Who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion

But you are not the kind of boy

Who should be marrying the wrong girl

 

Don’t say yes, run away now

I’ll meet you when you’re out of the church at the backdoor

Don’t wait or say a single vow

You need to hear me out and they said speak now

 

And you say lets run away now

I’ll meet when I’m out of my tux at the backdoor

Baby I didn’t say my vows, so glad you were around

When they said ‘Speak now’

 

:wub2:

Taylor's new song, "Back to December" is out on iTunes now! This is definitely one of my favorites from the album yet!

Listen here.

Download on iTunes here.

 

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)

I’m so glad you made time to see me

How’s life, tell me how’s your family?

I haven’t seen them in awhile.

You’ve been good, busier than ever.

Small talk, work and the weather.

Your guard is up and I know why.

Because the last time you saw me is still burned in the back of your mind.

You gave me roses, and I left them there to die.

 

(CHORUS)

So this is me swallowing my pride

Standing in front of you saying I’m sorry for that night.

And I go back to December all the time.

It turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missing you

Wishing I’d realized what I had when you were mine.

I’d go back to December turn it around and make it all right.

I’d go back to December all the time.

 

(VERSE 2)

These days, I haven’t been sleeping.

Staying up late playing myself leaving.

When you’re birthday passed, and I didn’t call.

And i think about summer all the beautiful times.

I watched you laughing from the passenger side, and

I realized I loved you in the fall.

And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind.

You gave me all your love, and all I gave you was goodbye.

 

(CHORUS)

 

(BRIDGE)

I miss your tan skin

Your sweet smile

SO good to me, so right

And how you held me in your arms that September night

The first time you ever saw me cry.

Maybe this is wishful thinking,

Probably myself dreaming, (?)

But you loved again, I swear I’d love you right.

I’d go back in time and change it, but I can’t.

So if the chain is on your door, I understand.

 

(CHORUS)

[Black Kitten]

among the 4 singles that have been released from Speak Now, this IS by far my most favorite. and easily one of her best ballads to date (together with Tim McGraw, Cold as You, Tied Together with a Smile, Invisible, White Horse and You're Not Sorry)

 

she's such a remarkable songwriter.

 

EDIT: Speak Now is gonna be released here in the Philippines on November 02, a week after the American release! ugh

 

but at least we're getting the deluxe edition. bad news tho is we're not gonna get the regular purple dress version.

[AllCeline]

Is "Speak Now" really going to be an official single or did they just release it to radio? I don't think I would have done that... at least not yet.

[mariposa24]

I don't know why, I can't like her voice

 

I feel the same way. But she is quite a good songwriter, i'll give her that. Vocal wise..eh. She could be a lot better.

You,

With your words like knives

and swords and weapons that you use against me

You,

Have knocked me off my feet again

Got me feelin' like i'm nothing

You,

With your voice like nails

on a chalkboard

Callin' me out when i'm wounded

You,

Pickin' on the weaker man

 

Well you can take me down

with just one single blow.

But you don't know what you don't know.

 

Someday I'll be

Livin' in a big ole' city

And all your ever gonna be is mean.

Someday I'll be

Big enough so you can't hit me

And all your ever gonna be is mean.

Why you gotta be so mean?

 

 

You,

With your switching sides

and your wild fire lies

and your humiliation

You,

Have pointed out my flaws again

As if I don't already see them.

I walk with my head down

Try to block you out

Cause I'll never impress you

I,

Just wanna feel okay again

 

 

I'll bet you got pushed around,

Somebody made you cold,

But the cycle ends right now,

Cause you can't lead me down that road

And you don't know what you don't know

 

 

Someday I'll be,

Livin' in a big ole' city

and all your ever gonna be is mean.

Someday I'll be,

Big enough so you can't hit me

and all your ever gonna be is mean.

Why you gotta be so mean?

 

 

And I can see years from now

in a bar

Talkin' over a football game

With that same big loud opinion

But nobody's listening

Washed up and ranting

About the same ole' bitter things.

Drunk and goin on about

How I can't sing.

But all you are is mean.

 

 

All you are is mean.

and a liar.

and pathetic

and alone in life

and mean.

and mean.

and mean.

and mean.

 

 

But someday i'll be

Livin' in a big ole' city

and all your ever gonna be is mean

Yeah

Someday I'll be

Big enough so you can't hit me

and all your ever gonna be is mean.

Why you gotta be so(mean)

Someday I'll be

Livin' in a big ole' city(Why you gotta be so mean)

and all your ever gonna be is mean.

(Why you gotta be so mean?)

Someday I'll be

Big enough so you can't hit me(Why you gotta be so mean)

And all your ever gonna be is mean.

Why you gotta be so mean?

[armin]

I'm her fan too. I like all her songs such as "Forever and Always" and "Untouchable".

[AllCeline]

I couldn't wait for my copy to get here so I listened to the songs today. It's totally not like "Fearless." I don't think it was very "country," but nonetheless, still very good. And I completely lose "Long Live." It's definitely something new and incredible. I can't wait for my copy to get here so I can listen to the bonus tracks!!

I think "Sparks Fly" is a new favorite.

SWIFT KICK FOR RECORD BUSINESS

Album Could Challenge Lil’ Wayne Debut with Total Between 800-900k

 

October 26, 2010

 

http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/news/images_artists/swift_taylor.gif

 

The Taylor Swift set-up—and it’s hard to get away from—has been a massive success.

 

Her new album, Speak Now, on Scott Borchetta’s Big Machine and the Lipmans’ Universal Republic labels, is exploding at retail in a way that has initial first-week sales estimates between 800-900k and could go higher.

 

Insiders are even giving it a shot at approaching the first-week numbers generated by Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III album two years ago.

 

And it couldn’t come at a better time for the record industry as it heads into the all-importhat fourth quarter.

 

Swift appears a lock to turn back the year’s previous first-week sales record, set by Eminem’s Shady/Aftermath/Interscope album, Recovery, in June, with 742k.

 

Thanks to the early Monday start, as well as robust digital sales at iTunes (where fans who bought singles were able to “complete the album”) and Amazon.com, along with brisk business at non-traditional retailers, the Swift album looks on track for a huuuuge week.

 

Speak Now appears headed for the largest digital sales week ever for a country artist, and will challenge both the leader, Coldplay’s Viva La Vida, and #2 Eminem’s Recovery, for the all-time, overall record.

 

Her TV blitz continues over the next few weeks. Yesterday, she performed at the United Nations, with the event streamed live on CMT and the MTV networks. She performed on NBC’s Today Show this morning and is slated for Letterman tonight, Live with Regis and Kelly tomorrow and ABC’s Dancing with the Stars Nov. 2. Ellen DeGeneres will host an album release party for Swift next Monday (Nov. 1). Her NBC prime-time special will air Thanksgiving night (11/25) at 8 p.m., featuring a documentary about the making of the album and the promotional events surrounding its streeting.

 

The previous largest female Country sales debut was Shania Twain’s Up, which moved 874k in its first week of release in Nov. 2002, while the largest Country debut of all time was Garth Brooks’ 1.085 million for his Double Live in Nov. ’98, until now, the only Country artist to debut with more than a million sold.

 

Could Taylor Swift be the second? Based on Monday sales, she could be, but we will have to see as the week progresses.

but i'm getting the international deluxe edition. i think it's better than the Target deluxe edition.

 

The only difference is they include 3 crappy "pop" mixes. Unless the whole booklet is different, too.
