On the eve of the release of her 12th album, Taylor Swift received a thanksgiving note from George Michael's estate for including his work in her version of the Father Figure.
“When we heard the track, we without hesitation agreed with this association between two great artists, and we know that George would feel the same -“ Freedom! »The property of the singer was published on Thursday at XField
Taylor's gaze “Father Figure” includes the interpolation of Michael’s song of 1987 from his album “Faith”.
Both songs share a common thread telling the story of specific relationships. In an interview with 1987 with EtFormer WHAM! The singer became a solo star – who He died on Christmas holidays In 2016, he vaguely discussed the significance of his track.
“The figure“ Father ”is just very, without going into too many details, this is just a very specific experience that I wrote about specific relations with one person,” Michael said.
“I think that in the lives of people there is a certain scheme where they leave their parents, then they spend time on their own, and then look for this replacement,” he added.
Likewise, the fourth song on the album Swift “Dancing life”, Which was released on Thursday, tells the experience of specific relations between the mentor and his protege.
Hm. Who could it be? Are the texts of creativity or details too specific in order to dismiss as fiction? Let's cut it.
Swift opens his track: “When I found you, you were young, wayward, lost in the cold / pulled up to you in the sourdough,” turned your rags to gold. ”
There is one person who turned her into the Gold Standard Pop – the musical director of Scott Borchtta, who signed her on his large Machine Records label that day.
Swift worked with Borscheta in her first six albums while she I wanted to buy her master recordings From the label, which led to the end of their partnershipField
Initially, the song takes on the prospect of a mentor who sees the potential, profit and the opportunity to become a father for the protege. At the tail of the path, the point of view changes to the other side.
“You want to fight, you found it / I got a place surrounded / you will sleep with the fish before you find out what you will drown.”
Again, the details seem too specific to write off it as clean “New Heights” The podcast, in order to discuss the meaning of her texts with her future husband Travis Kels, and soon the future son -in -law Jason Kels.
Do not hold your breath – probably there is more chance that it will first release a new version of Life of Showgirl.
