2007年年底,環球唱片公司率先為泰勒·斯威夫特在非鄉村類的主流電台和電視台進行了大力推廣,並且為她制定了鄉村、流行和搖滾的跨界音樂定位和發展路線。這首歌曲的歌詞的靈感來自莎士比亞的經典悲劇《羅密歐與朱麗葉》和歌手Taylor Swift自己的生活實際:一對戀人因為家族矛盾和父母反對無法走到一起,但卻不屈於命運安排,最後用真摯的愛情感化了父母,過上幸福生活的故事。泰勒沒有借用莎士比亞的悲劇結尾,而是自己書寫了一個全新、美好的結局,使整個故事更加感人,歌曲曲風也不顯乏味。
We were both young when I first saw you.I close my eyes and the flashback starts:Im standing there on a balcony in summer air.See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.《Love Story》See you make your way through the crowdand say hello;Little did I knowThat you were Romeo; you were throwing pebbles,And my daddy said, Stay away from Juliet.And I was crying on the staircase,begging you, Please, dont go.And I said,Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.Ill be waiting; all theres left to do is run.Youll be the prince and Ill be the princessIts a love story baby just say Yes.So I sneak out to the garden to see you.We keep quiet cause were dead if they knew.So close your eyes; escape this town for a little while.Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter,And my daddy said Stay away from Juliet,Love Story MV拍攝地Castle Gwynn (5張)But you were everything to me; I was begging you, Please, dont go,And I said,Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.Ill be waiting; all theres left to do is run.Youll be the prince and Ill be the princessIts a love story baby just say Yes.Romeo save me; theyre tryin to tell me how to feel.This love is difficult, but its real.Dont be afraid; well make it out of this mess.Its a love story baby just say Yes.I got tired of waiting,Wondering if you were ever comin around.Love Story MV截圖(8張)My faith in you was fadingWhen I met you on the outskirts of town.And I said,Romeo save me Ive been feeling so alone.I keep waiting for you but you never come.Is this in my head? I dont know what to thinkHe knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,Marry me, Juliet. youll never have to be alone.I love you and thats all I really know.I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress;Its a love story baby just say Yes.Oh, oh.We were both young when I first saw you
《Love Story》在發布後便拿下公告牌主流40強單曲榜,成為了在公告牌該榜將近20年歷史上的首支鄉村流行跨界冠軍單曲,也是鄉村樂歷史上下載次數最多的單曲,下載量超過500萬。這首由班卓琴和吉他伴奏的中速抒情歌曲,講述的是一個類似於羅密歐與朱麗葉般的愛情故事,泰勒·斯威夫特更是將傳統的鄉村音樂與搖滾樂幾近完美的結合。整首歌曲的樂風清新,非常適合調節心情的時候聽。
