Taylor Swift's Unreleased Song About Suicide Note Revealed
An unreleased song by Taylor Swift, reportedly titled 'Dark Blue Tennessee,' details a suicide note and is described by a co-writer as 'the most chilling he's ever heard.'
An unreleased Taylor Swift song, which reportedly touches on the theme of a suicide note, has been brought to light. The track, "Dark Blue Tennessee," was co-written by Swift with longtime collaborator Robert Ellis Orrall.
Orrall described the song as "the most chilling he's ever heard" during a discussion about Swift's unreleased material. He recounted writing the song with Swift on a piano in his Nashville living room. The song's lyrical content is said to explore the dark themes associated with a suicide note, a departure from Swift's more commonly known themes of love and fame.
This unearthed song is part of a collection of unreleased tracks that delve into deeper, more somber territory than her publicly released music. The existence of such songs is detailed in the upcoming book "Taylor Swift: The Debut Years," set to be released on October 6.
Another unreleased song mentioned is "Love the Hell Out of You," penned by Swift in her teenage years with Sarah Buxton and Victoria Shaw. This track reportedly deals with themes of insufficient love to overcome inner demons. However, due to its darker undertones, it did not make it onto her debut album.
The revelation of these unreleased songs offers a glimpse into the evolution of Swift's songwriting and her exploration of complex emotional themes throughout her career, even in her earliest works.
