Standing out even among the tracks on the album evermore, this piece is an industrial-folk number defined by the unstable beauty of its irregular 5/4 meter.

The lyrics, which reject a partner’s request to “end” a past relationship and instead assert the strength to process emotions independently, showcase Taylor’s mature expressive power.

Mechanical percussion contrasts with gentle vocals, while the persistent irregular time signature from start to finish lends a tautness to the entire song.

Released in December 2020 as a collaboration with Aaron Dessner, this experimental masterpiece is recommended for anyone confronting the end of a relationship.

The child’s voice heard at the beginning is by actress Blake Lively’s daughter, James, a heartwarming detail that became a talking point.

It’s a recommended track for anyone feeling unsure about a new romance but wanting to stay positive.
