Absolutely, many readers scrolled right here first, to see which observe got here in at primary, they usually’re most likely not shocked to see “All Too Nicely (10 Minute Model)” right here on the high. “All Too Nicely” — the unique five-minute model from 2012’s “Crimson” — was already one in every of Swift’s greatest. Within the shortened model, Swift pulled away the specifics of her doomed relationship to make a track of heartbreak and ache that felt universally relatable. Within the 10-minute model (which she wrote first, although we needed to wait years to listen to it), she places these specifics again in, reveals extra about herself, and turns the track into undoubtedly her biggest masterpiece.
The ten-minute model is infused with the passage of time. “I bear in mind all of it too properly,” Swift sings on the choruses, and it turns into clear that the track is about reclaiming the recollections, recounting the reality of her experiences. However the finish is what all the time kills me, when she turns her focus solely on her ex. “Simply between us did the love affair maim you too?” she asks. There is no reply, in fact; there by no means is. However she nonetheless will get to say what occurred to her and reclaim her ache and heartbreak and anguish and switch it into one thing better than a failed relationship and the one who left her bruised.
