But as a window to the soul and a source of light in her life. Hi, and welcome to another episode of decoding Taylor swift with your host, Shauna. Before we continue to Taylor Swift's fearless era, we must talk about the song served as sort of a bridge between debut and fearless, beautiful eyes. We are back to analyzing songs before we look for the eggs that gave us reason to believe that the missing orange album that swift wanted to make she hid in plain sight. Stick a pin in that because we will look at that later. For now though, let's just continue with our analysis of beautiful eyes, which we think is actually the title of a missing album. Musically, this is important now, musically beautiful eyes is characterized by its acoustic foundation with gentle guitar strumming accompanying Swifts vocals. The production is understated, allowing the purity of Swift's voice and the sincerity of her lyrics to take center stage. This simplicity is a hallmark of Swift's earliest work, where the focus is on storytelling and emotional expression rather than elaborate production. This song seems to lean more into the pop genre and doesn't seem as connected to country music making us wonder if this is why beautiful eyes appeared out of nowhere. Perhaps her label wanted Taylor swift to be more easily labeled by the country music critics. Into one genre and releasing beautiful eyes in the manner they did became the compromise. The EP beautiful eyes was somewhat overshadowed by the massive success of Swift's album that leaned a lot more country fearless. That came out only four months later. However, beautiful eyes holds a special place in the hearts of Swifties. These fans offering a glimpse into her artistic development during a pivotal period of her career. The project also included other tracks and music videos providing fans with additional content during the wait between her first and second albums. Again, though, it was just a four month period that they had to wait. Beautiful eyes, both the song and the EP reflects Swift's ability to connect with listeners on a personal level. Her exploration of universal themes, such as love, admiration, and the significance of a meaningful connection resonated with her audience further establishing her as a relatable and compelling songwriter. The song is a Testament to Swift's early promise as a storyteller. A talent that would continue to flourish and evolve in her subsequent works. Though not as widely recognized as some of her later hits, beautiful eyes is an important piece of Taylor Swift's discography, representing her roots and country music and her initial foray into the pop landscape. It showcases the raw emotional honesty that would become a defining future of Swiss music, making it a chair's track for those who have followed her journey from the beginning. Once again, the numerology surrounding the length of the song shows Swift's love of recurring numbers. In this case, the song is 177 seconds long. And she chose to release the song in the seventh month. Did you notice that 177 seconds means this song didn't reach the three minute mark? Just as Taylor has two eyes, this saw is two minutes long. Keep in mind that most of the songs in her debut album were longer than three minutes. It made mean nothing, or it may have interested the weird girl who enjoys being clever and drop symbolism everywhere. So it's two minutes long because she has two eyes.
