“I got to hang out with [Harry] and I got to know how awesome of a person [he] is. When you see somebody that famous and that— he’s outrageously talented first of all, his sense of melody and harmonies… All of those things blew me away— and also a great writer, but he’s a very very very nice person.”
-Lori McKenna, an artist & songwriter (notably the one behind Girl Crush), on writing Changes with Harry a few years ago. (11 February 2023)

An absolutely feral collection of lines from little-known songs that tread similar and occasionally completely contradictory ground

Folklore and Evermore weren't exactly brain to page tho. Taylor changed some of the lyrics from demos we've heard of Cardigan and Willow to the actual song. But yeah i kinda get what he is saying also why would any questions any of the lyrics on Folklore and Evermore all of the songs were tightly written. The only song line that I was like ? was that 90s trend line
I love the 90's trend line. I love that it has the beat afterwards to give you time to process it and almost a metaphorical wink.
We have heard a few lyric changes, but we don't know if that was Taylor changing it or Aaron questioning. It makes me think of the bit in Folklore LPSS where Jack is talking about it being weird to work with her. It's something other people like Lori McKenna and Ryan Tedder have said too - she reworks and polishes lines herself really quickly and just wants a sounding board for it.

Brandi Carlile and Lori McKenna performing “Crowded Table”. _______________________________ Crowded Table Songwriters: Lori Mckenna, Natalie Hemby, Brandi Carlisle
You can hold my hand when you need to let go I can be your mountain when you're feeling valley-low I can be your streetlight showing you the way home You can hold my hand when you need to let go
I want a house with a crowded table And a place by the fire for everyone Let's take on the world while we're young and able And bring us back together when the day is done
If we want a garden, we're gonna have to sow the seed Plant a little happiness, let the roots run deep If it's love that we give then it's love that we reap If we want a garden, we're gonna have to sow the seed
Yeah, I want a house with a crowded table And a place by the fire for everyone Let us take on the world while we're young and able And bring us back together when the day is done
The door is always open Your picture's on my wall Everyone's a little broken And everyone belongs Yeah, everyone belongs
I want a house with a crowded table And a place by the fire for everyone Let us take on the world while we're young and able And bring us back together when the day is done And bring us back together when the day is done

Something down on the ground Won't let her out, it holds her in...
And he's afraid if she flies She'll never come home again...
Something about the bird And her spreading those wings Always brings the rifle out in him ...
The Bird And the Rifle :: Lori McKenna :: The Bird and the Rifle (2016)
An important part of Nell’s backstory that I never really talk about...

Another very contemplative song by Lori McKenna.

Lyrics (from azlyrics.com):
"People Get Old"
Someone said "Youth is wasted on the young" I spilled every last drop of time that summer in the sun My daddy had a Timex watch Cigarette in his hand and a mouthful of scotch Spinnin' me around like a tilt-a-whirl on his arm Houses need paint, winters bring snow Kids, come on in before your supper gets cold Collection plates and daddy's billfold And that's how it goes You live long enough, people get old I sat up right beside him in the cabin of that truck Goin' thirty miles-an-hour down a side road talkin' 'bout the fish we caught And I'm older now than he was then If I could go back in time, I would in a second To his beat-up blue jeans and a t-shirt with the sleeves cut off Houses need paint, winters bring snow Kids growin' up and seekin' out the window Hittin' every small-town dirt road And that's how it goes You live long enough and people get old Yeah, people get old Daddy keeps busy in the afternoons playin' cards by himself And he shouldn't be shovelin' that first snow, but you know he won't take the help Full of pride and love, he don't say too much but hell, he never did And you still think he's forty-five and he still thinks that you're a kid One day you'll find yourself sayin' the things that he said You'll be walkin' down the hallway, turnin' off every light switch When you twirl your kids in your arms Before you know it, it won't take too long They'll be runnin' off makin' a life just like you did Houses need paint, winters bring snow Nothin' says "love" like a band of gold Babies grow up and houses get sold And that's how it goes Time is a thief, pain is a gift The past is the past, it is what it is Every line on your face tells a story somebody knows That's just how it goes You live long enough and the people you love get old
