Taylor Swift - exile (feat. Bon Iver) [FIRST REACTION]

[@mdmsll]

I'm still amazed by this line where Taylor sung. "So I'm leaving at the side door." then he follows it with "So step right out."

[@splendasmom]

It's like the two voices are having a conversation/arguing in the song. It's amazing

[@marb5110]

Favorite part

[@JenniferWithAJay]

Faaaavorite part!!

[@eugeniat5460]

EXACTLY! that part is SO powerful, heart of the whole song i feel

[@edpotter1170]

this song uses lots of literature elements that make a language major like me geeks out, like: 1) metaphor, a lover = a town. Usually no matter how harsh living in a town is, you'd stay regardless. you'd just go on with your life, living through all the problems the town is giving you; harsh weather, bad traffic, bad neighbor, bad workplace, etc. Leaving a town means you're done with it, you decide nothing is worth staying anymore, or the cons of staying outnumbers the pros, and most of the time people go through long contemplation before making a decision to leave. Here, the lover is in "exile" because he was forced to leave/he could never return. 2) theatrical references. "Understudy" refers to a backup actor who trains with the main actor, always ready to take over his place the second the main actor messes up. It usually connotes negatively about someone who's not cut out to be the main actor. More obvious ones are "film" and "ending", and "side door" can either be interpreted theatrically (when you don't like a movie so you leave in the middle of the movie through the side door) or could also mean a quick escape (usually people think of front and back door, you have to walk through to go in and out, but she's using a side door to avoid the ending; back door). 3) antonyms. "defending" and "offending" sung on the same note in different verses. 4) of course, the dialogue ugh... "you never gave a warning sign" x "i gave so many signs" and "so i'm leaving through the side door" x "so step right out" Extra: - different styles of delivery: Bon Iver sings in emotional style because he's the one who got dumped, he messed up, he regretted it, he's unwilling, he wanted her back but he couldn't. Meanwhile Taylor sings in a more collected, calm style because she has moved on, she wanted the breakup, she's tired of "being his problem".

[@douglasrodrigues7259]

Yes.

[@byd_channel]

I love this song; I feel this song, i cry to it multiple times. And your interpretation of these details just adds more to my emotion

[@ncttotheworld127]

MY FAV COMMENT OMG

[@JenniferWithAJay]

Yesssss all of this!!!

[@TrinaHartshorne]

Yaas! English major/teacher here. All. Of. This.❤

[@brenner5575]

Seriously i always goosebumps everytime hear this song. Not just this song Basically every Bon Iver Song make me goosebumps the Song the Voice good. I’m glad Taylor Pick Bon Iver, i can’t imagine they’re best combo duo this year !!

[@janetabao1996]

When she says “I’m leaving out the side door” it just makes me feel so sad. Cause at the beginning of the song, she tells us that she’s just a weight in the relationship [“i’m not your problem anymore”] and the fact that she says she’s leaving at the side door, to me, feels like even after their relationship ended, she still thinks of herself as someone who’s less. That even if she is involved directly in their relationship, she’s not deserving of even going out the proper exit way iykwim. So she’ll just see her way out at the side door. What superior lyrics! and the saddest thing is, this still occurs at present on any relationship. 🥺🥺

[@xtremeLo]

I don’t know why but i get a feeling of subtle violence. Like she couldn’t handle it anymore and left as quick as she could. First he describing her as a warrior or soldier protecting his land, his hometown and when she left he had no one to defend anymore. Then she speaks about how he is looking at her new man and sees him ready to fight and get the knuckles bloody... like he is not capable to contain his anger. And she gave him many chances but blew one after another and “add insult to injury”, he makes everything worst. She saw herself as a problem and don’t know what she is doing to offend him ( like ... again? But i didn’t do anything before you just started to overprotect me from what or who?) you were my crown, made me feel like a queen in your kingdom but i had to leave as fast as i could... now he regrets it and she is just over it. The signs were there but he “didn’t even see the signs”, he is so blinded by that sense of overprotection, jealousy perhaps? That’s why i think lyrics convey something a bit darker than it may seem at first sight. It’s not a “we have to break up” song. It’s a “I need to break up with you” and “why did you leave me?” ‘Cause there was more than pain in there, there was no communication at all maybe even a vicious relation of possession. I don’t know, it just feels that way to me.

[@JenniferWithAJay]

Yesss!! And you can hear the subtly held back “anger” in Justin’s (Bon Iver) voice when he answers her by saying “So step right out!” If you watch the Longpond Studio session of this song, you can see it in the way he moves when he sings that line too. Genius.

[@brianjones5069]

Forever Emma. The album is amazing, the folklore surrounding it takes it to another level. Sorry, couldn't resist.

[@MayorBrownn]

Yes please react to some bon iver songs!

[@jrbuffington3871]

Listen to Holocene from Bon Iver. The way he puts unconventional instruments in different places in the mix is amazing

[@discreetlord15]

what a genuine reaction. please do for the whole album!!!

[@nathanlongwell]

Thank you! I am on it!

[@Whooooooops]

The entire album For Emma, Forever Ago is a masterpiece Specific songs to check out are Flume, Skinny Love, Holocene, Blood Bank and his cover of I can't make you love me

[@kkeerthi777]

My brain melted when I first heard that song!!!!!! 😭😭😭

[@Dr.SyedSaifAbbasNaqvi]

Had two heart attack - First time hearing the song Second time hearing in the show "You"

[@haruride6703]

Have you heard Cornelia street, Daylight, The archer, from her last album? Especially, her live performance in Paris. It's never "disappointed" ):

[@lisarie22]

On this album I love the way the lyrics are written and sung. It leaves them open to your own interpretation and you can apply them to some aspect or time of your life.

[@alyssaking3663]

Songs by Bon Iver that hit me right in my soul... Older Song "Blood Bank" New Song kind of experimental but vocally is goregous "Hey Ma" and "Salem"

[@RelentlessSymphony]

Creek , Holocene , Heavenly Father. All amazing bon Iver tracks

[@mariaespejo2851]

For Bon Iver you should react to his cover of I can't make you love me. His voice is actually pretty high in his own songs.

[@melatikarina8056]

Bon Iver is a band. The singer's name is Justin Vernon.

[@lean5587]

My personal favourites from Bon - Skinny love - Blood bank - For Emma - Wolves - Flume - Beach Baby - Re:stacks - Hey, ma - Roslyn - Holoscene - Perth

[@brooke80448]

lean me too

[@tanyawatkins3405]

I love her album lover 💜love all her albums 🌻🎶🎵🎵

[@jessabla4292]

Skinny love by bon iver and roslyn by bon iver and st. Vincent 💛 also just listen to possibility by lykke li. You're welcome 🤗

[@MisterAPH]

How is Lover a big disappointment? Could you give it another chance?

[@Suprachiasmatic]

He doesn’t like it because Taylor “shoved her views down his throat”. 🙄

[@steveorrell372]

Bon Iver’s version of I Can’t Make You Love Me is amazing

[@PedroPaulo-zy7tv]

Omg, your voice sounds like a ASMR, watching this video with headphone gave me chills

[@sausagewalllet]

That song is so good it brings a tear to your eye

[@jimmckeon9182]

Justin of Bon Iver has such an amazing voice and his musical genius cannot be denied. You should definitely listen to Bon Iver's songs "Holocene", "Towers", "Bloodbank" and "Heavenly Father". You won't be disappointed.

[@auroraabbot580]

Holocence. Roslyn. Re:Stacks. I can't make you love me. Bone Iver is amazing!!

[@mountainrock7682]

Have you listened to the entire Lover album?

[@calianvalor3225]

[@stardustmelody2709]

The long pond session of this song is the best version of this.

[@MayorBrownn]

All of bon ivers music is amazing. If you make some more reactions to him I’ll definitely watch

[@jamesstephen3841]

I'm here after taylor announced evermore

[@sausagewalllet]

Evermore with bon iver is a big disappointment

[@fadelpratama3635]

@@sausagewalllet nope evermore with Bon Iver is also great. Although exile win my heart

[@annabelleehelpme]

Holocene, Perth, Blindsided, Roslyn, 8 (circle), Friends ft Bon Iver and 715 Creeks are some of my personal Bon Iver favorites. You should probably listen to all of For Emma, Forever Ago though.

[@yuvrajsinghraghav2362]

Who wants him to react to Taylors live performances???

[@ATWTMVTVFTVSGAVRALPS]

hey, you should listen to her 6th album 'reputation'. It's completely the opposite of this album since it's her most experimental album since it's a mixture Trap, EDM, Synth Pop, Rap, Hip-hop, Dance Pop, and Electro Pop. it has one country song too.

[@Mistgreen1989]

I don't think reputation has any country song.....

[@Darenkelg]

Who is this king? Loved his reaction. This song is def top 5 on the album

[@katieleuer224]

It is pronounced bone ee vair, but the person is justin Vernon.

[@jtaitslick]

listen to all of Bon Iver's albums in order and in full (pronounced "Bone Eve-Air")... you won't be disappointed! Justin Vernon is a genius!

[@jayjustine2987]

Can't wait! Love the song so much!

"Her last album was a huge dissapoinment." Wait.... Excuse me what??? High on weeds dude?

[@shauzabnashyaan]

@@nathanlongwell May be or worse. Because all of her albums are fucking bop! Masterpieces!!

[@TheNraveles]

Personally Lover is her worst album :/

[@shauzabnashyaan]

TheNraveles To each his own.

[@jessaii.xoxo143]

Lover is not a worse album. Maybe bad choices of singles but real bop and masterpiece. Maybe u weren't able to relate or analyze the songs,

[@tylerbellows5358]

Holocene by bon iver. Review ittttt

Great speaking voice. Good reaction. Always amused when conservatives who want to dictate church & female body choices say, "TS, dont shove your views down my throat." Lol. You went there! So ... I'm clapping back to it!

[@tylerbellows5358]

I cant recommend bon iver enough. Any of his music. You really can't fuck it up. Its all good. For Emma forever ago is just bon iver himself but after that he gets a full band to write the albums and perform. Such a talented band its not even funny. Pure talent

Nope. I don’t have any issue with Taylor. I don’t agree with some of her thoughts on certain things, but I love her as a person, and her art is amazing!

[@kkeerthi777]

Well Taylor will not give any f*uck about what others thinks of her!!!! She do things in her own way!!!

Dude, why y'all gotta hate him for saying lover was her worse album? He's not completely wrong, it's his opinion lol. Don't be that mad fan and hate on everyone who says a word against your favorite artist.
