Try To Make It Anyway

Soooo... this is the song that "Hey Stephen" Barker Liles wrote for Taylor Swift!

Try To Make it Anyway

Your curly hair and your cowboy boots
How can anyone get over you?
They must’ve really been a big old fool, oh baby. 
Cause I can’t help it when I look at you,
Every piece of me comes unglued.
Tell me girl, did you feel it too?
Tell me, won’t you tell me?

Cause this could be the real thing baby 
If we let it go and just forget it 
We’ll be sorry if we don’t lay it on the line 
We’ll be wasting time.
And everything inside of me is telling me yes.
That its you and me honey, its our chance.
This world is going crazy, so baby what do you say?
We’ll try to make it anyway.

We’ll take a walk to the river bank,
Bring our guitars, let the music play.
I don’t care if it rains all day, baby.
Cause we can go where we wanna go
Like New York, honey, it’s our show
And we won’t listen if they tell us no, no way.

Cause this could be the real thing baby 
If we let it go and just forget it 
We’ll be sorry if we don’t lay it on the line 
We’ll be wasting time.
And everything inside of me is telling me yes.
That its you and me honey, its our chance.
This world is going crazy, so baby what do you say?
We’ll try to make it anyway.
And this could be the real thing baby 
If we let it go and just forget it 
We’ll be sorry if we don’t lay it on the line 
We’ll be wasting time.
And everything inside of me is telling me yes.
That its you and me honey, its our chance.
This world is going crazy, so baby what do you say?
We’ll try to make it anyway.
Your curly hair and your cowboy boots
How could anyone get over you?
They must’ve really been a big old fool, oh baby.

Isn't it just the second sweetest thing everrrr?

Another Taylor Swift's Secret Messages

I know I'm doing it backwards, because I did the Speak Now album first, but there's no harm doing the Fearless now, right? So, here we go.... Oh, and this is from the platinum edition, by the way.


1. Jump Then Fall: Last summer was magical
OKAY, WHEN IS THIS??? WHERE WAS I??
(again, the tween in me has taken over, please do forgive.)
Apparently, people assume this song is for Joe Jonas too. Because it was in the summer of 2008 when they were dating. Maybe... Phew, Joe sure got a lot of songs from Taylor. I would write that much too if I was dating Joe. (The tween inside me has taken over my body! Help!!) Eh, I think the picture is photoshopped, but it's cute.


2.Untouchable: We always want what we can't reach
I can't found a lot of information on this song. I do found one, it says that the song was originally Luna Halo's, but she wrote the new beautiful melody. That's all.

3. Forever & Always (Piano Version): I still miss who I thought he was
Another song for Joe ;) more on that in the original version.....

4. Come in with the Rain: I won't admit that I'd wish you'd come back
I have to say that this is one of my favorite song from the album, it's beautiful. "Come in with the rain" is an old expression meaning that when bad times come, people come to their senses and realize what they wanted was there the whole time. I don't know for whom she wrote this, but I'm guessing it's someone that she really likes but she's tired trying to get him so she's just going to let him "come in with the rain..."


5. Superstar: I'll never tell
Abigail, Taylor, and Martin!
Well, it's about her obsessing over a superstar. It could be anyone, some says Joe Jonas, or John Mayer, OR Martin from "Boys Like Girls" Hmm. I dunno. Anyone?

6. The Other Side of The Door: What was I really thinking when I slammed the door
Here's a theory. She saw him with another girl and overreacted. She dumped him, and now she realizes she misread the situation and that she was acting out just to watch him fall over himself to apologize. And the black dress part, she refers to it in "Tim McGraw" too, maybe it's the same guy. Though Taylor said, "Trying not to go back in your mind to every laugh and everything you miss." It could be about her ex.


7. Fearless: I loved you before I met you
Miss Swift said, "This is about the perfect first date I haven't had yet." so...it didn't really happened, just like Speak Now.


8. Fifteen: I cried while recording this
Stephen
 This song really makes me respect Taylor even more. She gives an advice to girls out there to know what's more important for them. And I love the honesty in this song, this is why people love Taylor. They can relate to her songs.


9. Love Story: Someday I'll find this.
Again, haven't happen yet. But loooove the video!


10. Hey Stephen: Love and Theft
Love and Theft (an American country music duo) is composed of Stephen Barker Liles and Eric Gunderson. And you know what? Around the same time, Stephen wrote a song about her too. It's called Try To Make It Anyway. This could be the second cutest thing that a guy did for Taylor (The whole Adam-Taylor-Enchanted thing is just too cute.) I'll post the lyrics with the video later if you're too lazy to look it up. ;)


11. White Horse: All I ever wanted was the truth.
I read in a website that this song, is actually about Drew (from Teardrops on My Guitar). Drew is the best friend that she liked, but he would always talk to her about the other girl he liked. Well, drew and his girlfriend split up, then went to visit Taylor at her house, and said "Are you still interested?" and she wrote this song. I looked up his Facebook and the status said that he's married!
Drew....




12. You Belong With Me - Love is blind so you couldn't see me.
What Taylor said about this is, "I came into the writing session with Liz Rose and said, 'I've got this idea. I had overheard a friend of mine talking to his girlfriend and he was completely on the defensive saying, 'No, baby...I had to get off the phone really quickly...I tried to call you right back...Of course I love you. More than anything! Baby, I'm so sorry.' She was just yelling at him! I felt so bad for him at that moment. 

So I came up with the first line 'You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset, going off about something that you said,' and I ran that into the story line that I'm in love with him and he should be with me instead of her. It just became this whole picture. It was really fun for us to write the line, 'She wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts.'" Hmm.. I still think that it's about Drew...



13. Breathe: I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry
This song is about a break up, either with a boyfriend or a best friend. I don't know for whom did Taylor wrote this, but someone said it's for her friend Emily, who left her band.


14. Tell Me Why: Guess I was fooled by your smile.
This song is about falling for someone who hurts her repeatedly. I really hope she doesn't mean it literally. There isn't any buzz about this song that I can find, though. This is a really catchy song, love it.


15. You're Not Sorry: She can have you
This is about a liar, Taylor said. People said it's for the guy in Should've Said No, or White Horse.... So it's either Sam or Drew. But maybe it's Sam...because , you know, the cheating part, make more sense.

16. The Way I Loved You: We can't go back. 
Taylor said, "I got this idea for a song about being in a relationship with a nice guy who is punctual and opens up the door for you and brings you flowers…but you feel nothing. The whole time you’re with him, you’re thinking about the guy who was complicated and messy and frustrating. 

So I brought that idea, the title and where I thought the song should go to John. He was able to relate to it because he is that complicated, frustrating messy guy in his relationships. We came at the song from different angles. It was just so cool to get in a room and write with him because he really is an incredible writer." I love this song, personally. Can totally relate... Anyway, I thought at first that this song is maybe for Joe, because of how much he liked Joe. But then, I don't know for sure. I mean they haven't even broken up yet, because even Forever & Always was added a day before the final version was due to be turned in.
17. Forever & Always: If you play these games, we're both going to lose.
Here's the highlight of the album. The whole 27 seconds break-up on the phone thing.
This song is about the breakup of her relationship with the incredible Joe Jonas. She said, "It's about watching somebody fade away in a relationship. They said they were going to be with you forever, that they loved you, and then something changed in the relationship and you don't know what it is, but you're watching them slowly drift. That emotion of rejection, for me, usually starts out sad and then gets mad. This song starts with this pretty melody that's easy to sing along with, then in the end I'm basically screaming it because I'm so mad. I'm really proud of that."
She wrote this near the end of the recording process after she broke up with Joe. She had to plead with the president of her record label, Scott Borchetta, to let her add it to the album a day before the final version was due to be turned in.
Joe Jonas told the June 2009 issue of Seventeen magazine that he wasn't bothered about Taylor writing about the break-up of their relationship. He said: "It's flattering. It's always nice to hear their side of the story." Gah, why can't she date the ones that are really nice like Taylor (Lautner), or Adam, OR Stephen.


18. The Best Day - God Bless Andrea Swift
This is clearly for her family, particularly her mother. She said that this is her gift to her mother for christmas, she recorded and made the video secretly. It's really beautiful, I think.

19. Change - You made things change for me
Taylor wrote this song about being on a small record label and having to work extra hard for everything against all the big record labels. Then finally the break comes, which she said was winning the horizon award.

6 things I do at home when school's out

Holiday is here, people! It's time to do things we can't do on regular, boring days! I'm not that kind of person who have to go out or else I'll get bored. I looooove staying at home. Maybe that's why I'm not that athletic.... Ehm, anyway, if you, unlike me, often get bored at home, here's some ideas that will keep you busy ;) forget the homework!!!

1. Learn an instrument
This will only work if you like music. But, who doesn't? You can learn a common instrument like guitar, or maybe something unusual like harp... Anything. You can watch tutorials on youtube, or ask someone to teach you. Who knows maybe you're talented or, maybe you'll enjoy it.

2. Do a makeover!
I do this a lot! I like to cut my own hair and try some different hair dos. Today I did a maiden braid, it looked pretty even though it was really messy. There's a lot you can do, just make sure you know how to do it ;) If you're not sure, google it, check out websites like ehow, or wikihow.
This is my maiden braid!
3. Homemade spa!
This is fun and kinda messy, I like to do this with my besties! Not only that they'd be helpful for cleaning your homemade masks, it will be a lot more fun. And you'll feel prettier after ;) look for a traditional recipes and easy ingredients.

Okay this was 3 months ago, we got jicama mask which is really good for brightening face!
4. DVD marathon
This is for when you're too lazy to do anything, all you got to do is get your favorite movies or tv shows, some snacks, and you're all set! My favorite is Friends and Glee, fyi. Do some stretching after a few hours, to prevent unwanted pains.

5. Bake
I like baking when I'm hungry, but when the cake is done I really don't feel hungry at all.... Anyway, baking is really fun especially if you're a sweet tooth. I like backing cakes and cupcakes because it's easier for me. Haven't tried baking cookies but I'm going to one of these days. You can't look for recipes at all recipes, they have tons of various recipes and people can write helpful reviews about them.
My cupcake!

5. TROLL THE INTERNET!!
I am doing this right now.  There is a lot, A LOT of fun websites I like to visit.
Okay, that's all for now, folks! Enjoy your holiday! :)
