Bring on the bold, FIERCE tracks! FIERCE Pop + Rock ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿค˜ provides background information and insight into pop, rock, and metal songs that raise eyebrows and stir the pot.ย  Featured records can be classic or brand new. In the 30th edition of FIERCE Pop + Rock ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿค˜ (2023), we explore ๐ŸŽต โ€œBigger Than The Whole Skyโ€ performed by ๐ŸŽ™ Taylor Swift.

Taylor Swift, Midnights [๐Ÿ“ท: Taylor Swift]โ€œIโ€™ve got a lot to live without / Iโ€™m never gonna meet / What couldโ€™ve been, wouldโ€™ve been / what shouldโ€™ve been you.โ€ Those lyrics hail are excerpted from the ๐Ÿ’ฟ Midnights bonus cut, ๐ŸŽต โ€œBigger Than The Whole Skyโ€, the 15th track. Here, ๐ŸŽ™ Taylor Swift recalls some sort of loss, thatโ€™s open to interpretation. As always, the ๐Ÿ† Grammy winning singer/songwriterโ€™s pen is sharp โ€“ fierce!

Bitmoji Imageโ€œSalt streams out my eyes and into my ears,โ€ Swift sings in the first verse, adding, โ€œEvery single thing I thought becomes sick with sadness / โ€˜Cause itโ€™s all over now, all out to sea.โ€ Dang, thatโ€™s sad ๐Ÿ˜ข. ย Taylor complements the lyrics in the first verse with those in the second: โ€œEvery single thing to come has turned into ashes.โ€ Sounds morbid, which, again makes the loss seem subject to interpretation. Of course, the centerpiece of this beautiful record, produced by Swift and ๐ŸŽ› Jack Antonoff is the chorus.ย  Here, Swift makes the assertion that โ€œYou were bigger than the whole sky / You were more than just a short time.โ€ The big question is who is the You. What there is no doubt about is how awesome ย ๐ŸŽต โ€œBigger Than The Whole Skyโ€, a bonus cut ๐Ÿคฏ, truly is.
