    "I love you to the moon and the Saturn" is it just me or have anybody notice this lyrics. ( Saturn has seven distinctive rings, and the title of the song is SEVEN) she's literally a genius.

      Also, the seventh day of the week is Saturday, which is derived from Saturn. That's why, it's one of the main elements of the song.

    • @fe5018
      @fe5018 Před 3 lety +238

      When I listen to Taylor sing the lyrics, I kind of just offhand heard it as the dad must be mad because of the influence of the haunted house on him but reading your reply, it really does come across like it's his anger that actually haunts the house. And yeah, that's a chillingly relatable feeling for some.

      same with me. I didn't grow up in a abusive house (i'm so grateful for that). and you perfectly put what I felt, in a sentence. I think I can also kinda relate from Taylor's perspective cause growing up, I had a friend who had parents that would argue with each other every now and then and her and i would just hang out and play at my place. Just today I had the album playing while i was putting on makeup and when this lyric came up my eyes started watering. I think I'll always get teary eyed when it comes up.

    Please picture me
    In the trees
    I hit my peak at seven feet
    In the swing
    Over the creek
    I was too scared to jump in
    But I, I was high in the sky
    With Pennsylvania under me
    Are there still beautiful things?
    Sweet tea in the summer
    Cross your heart, won't tell no other
    And though I can't recall your face
    I still got love for you
    Your braids like a pattern
    Love you to the moon and to Saturn
    Passed down like folk songs
    The love lasts so long
    And I've been meaning to tell you
    I think your house is haunted
    Your dad is always mad and that must be why
    And I think you should come live with
    Me and we can be pirates
    Then you won't have to cry
    Or hide in the closet
    And just like a folk song
    Our love will be passed on
    Please picture me
    In the weeds
    Before I learned civility
    I used to scream ferociously
    Any time I wanted
    I, I
    Sweet tea in the summer
    Cross my heart, won't tell no other
    And though I can't recall your face
    I still got love for you
    Pack your dolls and a sweater
    We'll move to India forever
    Passed down like folk songs
    Our love lasts so long

I definitely agree! I was in the third group but not anymore, I guess. These songs are simply beautiful!

    This song reminds me of a story of my own. I had a best friend that I met in 2nd grade. We became friends because we were assigned rocks to create a house for (weird 90's American stuff, I guess). Her home life wasn't great, but she had a great spirit. Soon we found out our grandparents were best friends, and our families knew each other very well. Both our grandparents owned cabins in upstate New York in the same county and then we found out our cabins were nearly half a mile from each other. We spent so many amazing summers up there together, watching fireworks, eating amazing food and fishing. Unfortunately, she passed away ten years ago, but I'll always remember those days when we were 13. I love you, Chereen April.

    *LYRICS*
    Please picture me
    In the trees
    I hit my peak at seven feet
    In the swing
    Over the creek
    I was too scared to jump in
    But I, I was high in the sky
    With Pennsylvania under me
    Are there still beautiful things?
    Sweet tea in the summer
    Cross your heart, won't tell no other
    And though I can't recall your face
    I still got love for you
    Your braids like a pattern
    Love you to the moon and to Saturn
    Passed down like folk songs
    The love lasts so long
    And I've been meaning to tell you
    I think your house is haunted
    Your dad is always mad and that must be why
    And I think you should come live with
    Me and we can be pirates
    Then you won't have to cry
    Or hide in the closet
    And just like a folk song
    Our love will be passed on
    Please picture me
    In the weeds
    Before I learned civility
    I used to scream ferociously
    Any time I wanted
    I, I
    Sweet tea in the summer
    Cross my heart, won't tell no other
    And though I can't recall your face
    I still got love for you
    Pack your dolls and a sweater
    We'll move to India forever
    Passed down like folk songs
    Our love lasts so long

    i had a traumatic childhood growing up, yet i never really realized it until a couple years ago. this song, in my interpretation, is between seven year old me and me now. swings, sweet tea summer, braids, dolls, playing in the trees and weeds, and creeks were a huge part of my childhood, they were things that i loved. although my memory is fuzzy, and my childhood is a blur, i still love my younger self with everything in me, and i miss her more than anything. the bridge is something i feel like my younger self would say to present me. she wouldn’t understand the trauma i have been put through, and she would just want to play to make me happy. this song is criminally underrated. it’s so nostalgic, sad, sweet, and beautiful. my favorite song off of folklore.

    I'm taking Literature right now and honestly, my teacher would probably wet himself because of how awesome and compact this one line is. Weeds are wild and she wants to be remembered when she was in that state (that could be compared to a child- which basically ties in with this song) instead of her when she's an adult- "before I learned civility"; "I hit my peak at seven"

    Been a longtime Taylor fan… I love all her songs and albums, don’t get me wrong, but for the past few years there wasn’t one that particularly settled in my heart like the songs from folklore did. But this one in particular... What a funny coincidence this song is titled my favorite number. It also tugs a personal string in my heart when I, too, grew up in Pennsylvania and that’s where my worst experiences were. This album is therapeutic to me. Comforting, relieving. It’s cathartic. Thank you for this album taylor. I think it’s my favorite one you’ve ever made, now.

    For those who didn't know, this song is about one of Taylor’s childhood friends who seemed to have an unhappy life at home. Taylor reflects back on her innocence back then, how she thought the problems could be easily solved.

      @@sunaina8441 I think it's true.. I read it in a website a while ago which explained about the song. After looking at the lyrics, this song seemed to be about Taylor’s childhood or a friend from her youth.

      She said on instagram that this album is all about random characters that she came up with and wrote songs about, hence why the album's called folklore

    I love how after all these years people still talk about folklore and evermore songs, different perspectives and meanings behind them. Taylor Swift is a genius she literally created folklores for people to remember, discuss and appreciate for the time to come 🥹

      After all these years? It's only been a couple of years (2,5 for Folklore). You make it sound as if they are a decade old or something but are fairly recent.

    SEVEN is the seventh track of the album and it comes just before AUGUST which is the eighth track - just like the seventh month of JULY comes before AUGUST! Applause to the detail oriented queen Taylor Swift!

      May be a stretch but illicit affairs is the tenth song and Taylor has had ten relationships in her career

    i cannot describe how this song makes me feel, this entire album is incredible. i love how the song brings this feeling of innocence but also childhood trauma and wanting to escape, it’s genuinely so beautiful and the instrumental is everything.
