It's Shauna, your host for another episode of our podcast, decoding Taylor swift. First, thank you so much for downloading our three episodes. We couldn't believe it when we reached 50 downloads all thanks to you. So again, thank you so much. We would love to hit the triple digits, which means we need you to like this podcast reward our page with a follow and maybe even share it with your favorite Swifty friend. We also want to say thank you to the people who bought our books off Amazon last week were amazed. We sold even one copy. So to sell 10 copies, that is just incredible. That said we made a mistake when we put those books up on Amazon so we have to recategorize them and get the series up there again. And we haven't done that yet, but we will definitely let you know when it gets done and you can purchase the puzzle books and see the incredible math and anagrams and we're games that Taylor swift has and every single one are for albums. With that, let's return to our lyrical analysis. The picture to berm. From the outset we hear Taylor light a fire in this song as she goes straight for the juggler and the opening lines, singing about how she quote"didn't get her perfect fantasy" thanks to her muse's selfishness. He chose to love himself and his truck, quote, more than you could ever love me, making him at fault for the demise of their relationship. These lines make up the chorus, which means this dig at his track recurs throughout the song as does the other dig of calling him a no good at lying redneck heartbreaker. Picture to burn resonates with her fans because of its relate-ability swift doesn't hold back, giving herself and us therefore permission to feel all that anger and desire for revenge. The chorus when she slapped where it hurts and calls his truck stupid and old is retribution, which Taylor's fans can then co-op and make their truck represent whatever we want as we scream, sing along with her in the bathroom, holding our hairbrush microphone. During the song's bridge, she adds fuel to that already burning fire swift brings up the trash talking behind her back that he commits saying to get even she will call him gay. Later, realizing using gay as an insult turned off some of her fans, she changed the line after people made her aware of her. Nonetheless, the bridge does turn the unapologetic, anger up a notch, reminding us of how well she conveys strong emotion in her lyrics."Picture to Burn" has a country pop, upbeat sound that allows the youthful, sassy nature of this song to sight, to shine through the angry lyrics. Her delivery, lyrically and musically. With catchy melodies and featuring guitars as a, trying to them make this song. One of her fan favorites. This song shows more frustration and annoyance than it does heartbreak. And we think the attitude and sass and the instrumentation is why. Taylor made a music video for her fourth single picture to burn that enhances the song's narrative. The lyrics gave us this vivid scene in our mind's eye and the music video. Puts that setting to life. With Taylor exacting revenge against her muse. We even see her burning momentos from the relationship, including a frame to quote, picture to burn, if you will. While behaving vengefully playful. This song gives a tongue and cheek vibe more than it does an angry vengeful one. The video stays true to that. Despite picture to burn being released initially in 2006. This song remains a favorite of fans from every generation. No matter when they became a Swifty Taylor's music ages, like a Shakespearian play due to the bold and fearless manner in which she expresses emotions, her music will see success for generations to come in part due to the universal themes and honesty with which she talks about them. Solidifying Taylor's reputation for relatable songs. Her songwriting has evolved over the past 18 years, but this song still holds up as one of her best. Because even at a young age, Taylor knew how to capture the human condition in four minutes or less, unless you generously gives us more of course. But most often. It's under four minutes. This is a Testament to her ability to capture universal emotions in a catchy tune that will always bring us back to another place in time. Music truly is a time machine. And now that we have the vibe of the song, let's look at the math and numerology for picture to bird. The single dropped on oh 02/03/08, which adds up to 13. The music video dropped 43 days later on St. Patrick's day or March 17th. 3 17 0 8 equals two 19. But if we use the 2008 instead of just 08, We get 21 or 12 backwards. That's interesting. At two minutes, 55 seconds this marks one of her shortest songs. Perhaps the significance of the length lies in the double fives, which equate to five times 11. And when we double that 55, we get 110. So we're gonna stick a pin in that, in case we see a pattern when it comes to the 55 later down the road. Once again, we've come to the end of another breakdown of a Taylor swift song off her debut album. Next, we will discuss her fifth and final single"Should've Said No" which was released as a signal in may of 2008, almost two years after the release of her eponymous album. We hope that you enjoy this podcast as much as we enjoy making it and reward us with a thumbs up and a follow your feedback, keeps us going and lets us know we are making the right content for our listeners.
