Monday Music Quote
Your feelings so are important to write down, to capture, and to remember because today you're heartbroken, but tomorrow you'll be in love again.-- Taylor Swift
I'm very impressed with Taylor's song-writing skills. She has the ability to put her feelings into music and there's a large world audience who embraces those emotions expressed unanimously and completely! It seems this young artist is extremely popular with my high school girl students. I have posted many of Taylor Swift's songs on my other blog. If you have the time, come check out some these songs:
Should've Said No
Begin Again
Eyes Open
Fifteen

Chords to Long Live
(Track #14 on the album Speak Now)
Intro:G,C,Em,D,C G C I say remember this moment In the back of my mind Em The time we stood with our shaking hands D C The crowds in stands went wild G We were the kings and the queens C And they read off our names Em The night you danced like you knew our lives D C Would never be the same Em C You held your head like a hero On a history book page Em D C It was the end of a decade But the start of an age
Chorus
G C
Long live the walls we crashed through
Em D
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
G C
I was screaming, "long live all the magic we made"
Em
And bring on all the pretenders
C G
One day we will be remembered
Verse 2
G C
I said remember this feeling I passed the pictures around
Em D
Of all the years that we stood there on the sidelines
C
Wishing for right now
G C
We are the kings and the queens You traded your baseball cap for a crown
Em D C
When they gave us our trophies And we held them up for our town
Em C
And the cynics were outraged Screaming, "this is absurd"
Em
'Cause for a moment a band of thieves in
D C
ripped up jeans got to rule the world
Chorus
G C
Long live the walls we crashed through
Em D
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
G C
I was screaming, "long live all the magic we made"
Em D
And bring on all the pretenders I'm not afraid
G C
Long live all the mountains we moved
Em
I had the time of my life
D
Fighting dragons with you
G C
I was screaming, "long live the look on your face"
Em
And bring on all the pretenders
C G
One day we will be remembered
Bridge
C Em
Hold on to spinning around
C Em
Confetti falls to the ground
C
May these memories break our fall
Verse 3 G
And you take a moment
C
Promise me this:
Em
That you'll stand by me forever
D C
But if God forbid fate should step in
G
And force us into a goodbye
C
If you have children someday
Em D
When they point to the pictures
C
Please tell them my name
C
Tell them how the crowds went wild
D
Tell them how I hope they shine
Chorus
G C
Long live the walls we crashed through
Em D
I had the time of my life with you
G C
Long,long live the walls we crashed through
Em D
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
G C
I was screaming, "long live all the magic we made"
Em D
And bring on all the pretenders I'm not afraid
G C
Long live all the mountains we moved
Em
I had the time of my life
D
Fighting dragons with you
G C
long live the look on your face
Em
And bring on all the pretenders
C G
One day we will be remembered
Because Taylor is a guitar player, many of her songs are in the Key of G.
Probably to fit her voice, too. Do you have a favorite song of hers?
Along with piano resources, Hear and Play offers guitar dvds, too.
