At this moment, the song "We Are Never Getting Back Together" by Taylor Swift is wiping out all other competitors for hits on iTunes! The only other song that comes close is the hit song Gangnam Style, which is just as saddening to see. Taylor Swift is a "country artist" who is famous for writing her own songs, often times based on her own experience. Now personally, I love country but this song remindes me nothing of country. It's a poppy disaster that will get stuck in your head after the first time you hear it. I mean come on!
The first time I heard this song I turned it off in the first 30 seconds. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Taylor hater, however this song could have been written by any 13 year old who just went through a "breakup". The first time a listener hears this song, they are automatically going to reference their breakup, and then make it "there song" or it will become "the song that fits their life". I'm all about support after a breakup, and trying to feel good, but this song is just adding to the annoyance of post relationships.
Now from a musical standpoint, this song again really bothers mr. One, she sounds completely auto tuned. The poppy feel she went for with this song is completely different from her classic country feel. Lyrics wise, it's the same lyrics over and over! I mean come one people, we hear " we are never ever, ever, getting back together" almost 10 times throughout the song! It gives me a major headache. If this is the music that pleases the American public, I am disappointed it.
Where has all the good music gone??
