Song of the Week: Come Back… Be Here…
By Kara Johnson
“Come Back…Be Here…” is a song seems relevant this week. Not only because it’s a great song but because it’s a cry from every Swiftie’s heart to Taylor Swift to come back and release new music. So in a sense, while we are celebrating the track, we’re also hoping Swift herself comes back.
Either way, though we love this song. It’s a track that we think should have made the cut on RED. There is no way we think it belongs in the bonus track category. Why? Lyrically, it’s profound. Musically, it’s addicting and tragic all at once.
The song is one of the saddest Swift has ever written and one that is extremely underrated. It deserves more credit than it’s actually got. If we remember correctly, Swift has only spoken about the song twice:
"“I wrote about falling for someone and then they have to go away for work. They’re traveling, you’re traveling, and you’re thinking about them, but you’re wondering how it’s gonna work when there’s so much distance between you.”“It’s a song that I wrote about a guy that I met.. You know, you meet someone, and then they just kinda happen to go away and it’s like… long distance all of the sudden and you’re like… But but.. but [whispering] but.. Come BACK! Be HERE!”"
Needless to say, you need this song in your life. Take a listen to it below and let us know what your favorite Swift song of the week is by sounding off in the comments or tweeting us @FansOfTaylorFS
