Taylor Swift - coney island (Lyric Video) ft. The National 

evermore is like an old, forgotten, dusty book who opened and started to tell all its stories.

Unlike me, Taylor has been SUPER PRODUCTIVE this year

“do you miss the rogue who coaxed you into paradise and left you there? will you forgive my soul when you’re too wise to trust me and too old to care?” BROOOOOOOO THOSE LYRICS

As a woman married 31 years, I hear this song as a woman whose husband has passed away and she's sitting on a bench at Coney Island and wishing she had told her husband more that she loved and appreciated him. It's about regret and love and marriage. It's one of the most powerful narratives I've heard sung. Amazes me that someone as young as her can write this song.

I think this song is the apology she always hoped to receive from her exes. Since she never got them, she wrote it for herself, genius.

Crying in the dark, hbu?

oh look, it's the most criminally underrated song on evermore

“Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest gray? A universe away” One of my favourite lyrics that Taylor has ever written

it’s wild how everybody is focusing more that she referenced her exes than the fact that this song is incredibly heartbreaking and well-written 😳

WHY IS THIS SONG THE MOST UNDERRATED ON THE ALBUM BY EVERYONE

they say this the most "boring" song in the album but for me this song is a foggy morning drinking a coffee thinking about the relationship could survive if they show up for each other in short the most devastating and sad song in evermore.

The lyrics "Cause we were like the mall before the internet, that was the one place to be, the mischief, the gift wrapped, suburban dreams" are so damn underrated

I thought nothing could be better than folklore. Taylor Swift proved me wrong.

“DID I PAINT UR BLUEST SKIES THE DARKEST GRAY?” DEAR JOHN CALLBACK TO “YOU PAINT ME A BLUE SKY AND GO BACK AND TURN IT TO RAIN” AHHHHH

One of the best songs on the album 😭

She's genuinely the best Lyricist of this generation

Taylor Swift: Not a lot going on at the moment Also Taylor: This is me lying

WE GOTTA ADMIT THAT “NOT A LOT GOING ON AT THE MOMENT” IS THE MOST YET THE BEST SCAMMED LINE OF 2020 😩🤟🏻 Edited: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TAYLOR SWIFT! WE LOVE YOU, EVERMORE! - SWIFTIE PH 🇵🇭

This song is not boring. It's calm and very poignant. The lyrics describe coney island metaphorically as well as literally. It is a grower. It gets better with every listen.

Taylor is actually a songwriting genius. The way she managed to mention all of her exes in a song so beautiful is just amazing. Too polite to leave me- Tom, did I shatter you- Taylor Lautner, Birthday cake- jake, grey skies- John, not thanking him when she was on the podium- Calvin( my favourite line in the song), accident- Harry. Also I feel like sorry for not winning you an arcade ring and in the tree line by the gold clock are about Joe Jonas and Conor Kennedy. Definitely one of her best pen games and probably one of the best songs on evermore.

evermore isn't just an album, it’s a lifestyle, a reason to breathe, an escape from this cruel world filled with thieves. It’s art, the first gift you open on Xmas, a hug from a loved one, everything you’ve ever wanted, everything you need.

folklore: The long pond studio sessions evermore: The long pond crying sessions

taylor: "not a long going at the moment" all the swifties when she announced evermore: "THERE GOES THE BIGGEST LIAR THIS TOWN HAS EVER SEEN"

I can't help but think this is the husband from Tolerate It when the wife finally leaves and he's completely shattered over not appreciating and loving her the way she should have been.

at this point, Taylor Swift is the only competition Taylor has :)

Taylor is probably the most productive person in the world this year!!!

"Sorry for not making you my centerfold" I would not say this to anyone except me. I have wronged myself so much. Hated myself so much. And I want to forgive myself. And be in peace with the way I am. Be happy with whatever I am, whoever I am. Accept my flaws and be the main character of my life.

“Will you forgive my soul when you’re too wise to trust me and too old to care?” shattered me

this is an apology song for her exes and the fact that joe alwyn co wrote this proves how healthy their relationship is

this is wonderfully tragic. im in love 💕

never thought we’d have a *last kiss* ~

_"Do you miss the rogue who coaxed you into paradise and left you there?"_ is one of the most beautiful lyrics I have ever heard

Who else is binge watching all her songs released now ?

red: "Losing him was blue, like I'd never known Missing him was dark gray, all alone" coney island: "did i paint your bluest skies the darkest grey?" out of the woods: "Remember when you hit the brakes too soon? Twenty stitches in a hospital room When you started crying, baby, I did too But when the sun came up, I was looking at you" coney island: "and when i got into the accident the sight that flashed before me was your face"

us: all still recovering from folklore taylor: lemme just........EVERMORE.

Notice how Coney island' is essentially a busy and hectic place, bustling with activity and crowds of people. However, here, it's a piece of barren, neglected land with a single rundown Ferris wheel. Describing the impact of the relationship and/or memories on the lovers. Personifying Coney island to the state of the lovers, how it changes from content to loneliness.

Honestly, Coney Island deserves more.

"Too wise to trust me, and too old to care"...

How dare someone call this song boring, its perfect.

This song told the deepest scars. Saying "sorry" or "i love you" when it's too late.

Taylor makes me feel like I cant speak English when I hear her albums. Like her vocabulary is just on another level in these two albums

What is so *impressive* about Taylor's last two albums to me is how all the *songs are so similar* in style yet *all sound different.* Every song sounds new but fits the theme. *How does she do it?* I love it

I don't get why so many people/fans are sleeping on this song. When the album dropped, it immediately was a favorite of mine. This song is pure genius to me. In my opinion, it has the best line on the entire album: "Cause we were like the mall before the Internet. It was the one place to be. The mischief, the gift wrapped suburban dreams. " How do you not like this?!?! 🤯

I thought "Cardigan" was the most mature and reflective song Taylor had written and released... The memory of nostalgic times and old fashions, like the plaid shirts, the elitization of the "iphone", the acceptance of the culture of the rock (black lipstick) at the time of emos. Until I heard "Coney Island" and cried.

Her writing skills are mind blowing. Simply out of this world.

"We were like the mall before the Internet" how does taylor come up with such genius lines?

The National were absolutely PERFECT for this song and I’m so excited for them to get the recognition they have deserved for YEARS

"Do you miss the rogue that coaxed you into paradise and left you there?" no one would understand how obsessed I am with this lyric...

“Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest grey?” I’m crying rn🥺

This is top ten the national songs, Matt’s voice suits Taylor’s really well (or should I say... all too well)

Fact: Taylor, William Bowery (joe alwyn) wrote Coney Island, champagne problems and evermore together

Coney Island and cowboy like me are by far her *best* songs ever. Not even all too well 10min version can get on their level

“sorry i didn’t win you an arcade ring”is just too much for me

Taylor Swift would find a way to romanticize Coney Island

the way she rhymed "disappointment" with "close your eyes and"

To be honest folklore and evermore feels like home . Feels like that place where we can cry whole day can pour our heart out without hiding pain.

The way she used Coney Island as a metaphor, the lyric "I'm on a bench in Coney Island wondering where did my baby go" alone says everything, a relationship that was bright and full of life is now barren. Ugh this song is a lyrical master piece like most of her songs are, shes truly amazing.

Where my coney island stans at? Yeah, this song is underrated.

I haven't memorized yet the lyrics from her previous album Folklore and now she's releasing 17 new songs ✊😭🥺

this song is a masterpiece. captures the silent ending of a love story... the sense of freezing, the loss, the responsibilities, the impossibility of turning back time. it is the awareness of mourning.

Me: waiting for re-recordings Taylor: how about a brand new album Me: yes

popular opinion : every song from folklore and evermore deserves a grammy.

The fact that this song introduced millions of people to my favourite band makes this song great

"Did i close my fist around something delicate, did i shatter you?" Always been my fav lyrics

from dear john: "You paint me a blue sky, then go back and turn it to grey." coney island: "Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest grey?" her MIND. ten years apart.

I'm not a Swift fan but I was at work when I heard this and just stopped & listened to the lyrics... I'm currently going thru a separation/divorce and this song really hit home....I simply broke down.

This song is such a great demonstration of her writing abilities. With this, she's proving to us that a song doesn't necessarily need to be 'flashy' and 'exciting' in all the conventional ways that are typically used to make music stand out - in order to be compelling. The production is nice, but it's not overpowering as it is in, I'd say, a lot of the music out there. It _forces_ the listener to pay attention to the lyrics, until they're hanging on to every word. Only when the song ends, and the full story has been told between the two characters in it, are you allowed to exhale and appreciate it for the lyrical masterpiece that it is. Not to mention the somber, withdrawn feeling state that it evokes. I can picture the character sitting in the cold, hunched over, staring out at vacant Coney Island, reminiscing on what once was. It's stunning. And, not to mention, Taylor wrote Matt's verse from what she assumed would be a male perspective. THAT'S talent.

Might actually be her best written song so far. It's layers on layers on layers.

It's actually my birthday today and this is the best birthday present ever! Edit: Thank you all so much for the messages, I love you all!💖

Matt’s voice sounds perfect with Taylor.

I love how Taylor made me feel heartbroken, even if I'm not in a relationship.

Every time I hear “A Universe away” I get full body chills. The way they sing it is so magnificent.

unpopular opinion : this is the best song on the album. that’s it.

Ranked last by Billboard, why? It’s a masterpiece really. Beginning melody is already emotional!

I feel like this song is describing the feeling of being a relationship where both partners are taking each other for granted and arent appreciating each other anymore. But they stay until the love just fades and they become more and more distant.

Break my soul in two Looking for you but you're right here If I can't relate to you anymore Then who am I related to? And if this is the long haul How'd we get here so soon? Did I close my fist around something delicate? Did I shatter you? And I'm sitting on a bench in Coney Island wondering where did my baby go? The fast times, the bright lights, the merry go Sorry for not making you my centerfold Over and over Lost again with no surprises Disappointments, close your eyes And it gets colder and colder When the sun goes down The question pounds my head "What's a lifetime of achievement?" If I pushed you to the edge But you were too polite to leave me And do you miss the rogue Who coaxed you into paradise and left you there? Will you forgive my soul When you're too wise to trust me and too old to care? 'Cause we were like the mall before the Internet It was the one place to be The mischief, the gift wrapped suburban dreams Sorry for not winning you an arcade ring Over and over Lost again with no surprises Disappointments, close your eyes And it gets colder and colder When the sun goes down Were you waiting at our old spot In the tree line by the gold clock Did I leave you hanging every single day? Were you standing in the hallway With a big cake, happy birthday Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest gray? A universe away And when I got into the accident The sight that flashed before me was your face But when I walked up to the podium I think that I forgot to say your name I'm on a bench in Coney Island wondering where did my baby go? The fast times, the bright lights, the merry go Sorry for not making you my centerfold Over and over Lost again with no surprises Disappointments, close your eyes And it gets colder and colder When the sun goes down When the sun goes down The sight that flashed before me was your face When the sun goes down But I think that I forgot to say your name Over and over Sorry for not making you my Making you my Making you my centerfold

“ The fast times, the bright lights, the merry go.” Sounds like This Is Me Trying “You're a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town.”

Anyone else hitting the like button before the song starts cause u know since it’s Taylor it has to be great?

Here after she got up on the podium and didn’t forget to say his name 😭🙌🏾

Everybody focusing on Taylor swift but I think the National is such a unique and underrated band.

How can Taylor surprised us twice

No if Taylor doesn't win Album of the year imma sue the Grammy's Lol

Taylor rhyming "no surprises" with "close your eyes and" gives the same energy as her rhyming "cardigan" with "car again". what an icon

this song is so special, not everyone pays attention to it, but the ones that get it, GET IT.

Unpopular opinion: this is the best song of the album

Out of the Woods: When the sun came out, you were looking at me Coney Island: When the sun goes down, the sight that flash me was your face

The struggle of having to pick a song is real

I wish evermore was appreciated & celebrated just as much as folklore. Taylor Swift, acknowledge this beauty, I beg!

Although her birthday will be in next two days, she is giving us birthday presents (the whole album) instead. 😭

Who's binge watching/listening to her new released songs? 🙋🏼‍♀️

no but this is fr the most underrated track on evermore which unfortunately is taylor's most underrated album, evermore stans, im so sorry but we lost 😭

I don’t understand how people can’t see the magic in her lyrics.. Shakespeare

SHE IS A F*CK*NG GENIUS "Were you standing in the hallway With a big cake, happy birthday"- Jake Gyllenhaal (The moment I knew) "Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest gray?"- John Mayer (Dear John) "And when I got into the accident The sight that flashed before me was your face"- Harry Styles (Out of the Woods, I also think Gold Rush might be about him) "But when I walked up to the podium I think that I forgot to say your name"- we all know who that m*therf*ck3r is, I'm not even going to mention him (I Forgot That You Existed, she also mentions in Miss Americana that she had no one to call when she won AOTY for 1989)

Taylor Swift has released 2 albums in a pandemic and all I’ve done is gain weight, cry and almost fail my classes

"Question pounds my head, what's a lifetime of achievement?"... Matt's voice is just...whew.

"will you forgive my soul when you're too wise to trust me and too old to care" whew. her pen game is unmatched

i think my favorite part of this song is when taylor says:"it gets colder and colder when the sun goes down" because i think it's the perfect metaphor when you are falling out of love... gets me everytime

I cried so hard after listening to this song. I have been waiting for the apology that never came, I no longer feel the pain but I still remember all the pain.

Umm everyone’s just watching the willow MV and I’m like, there’s a whole ALBUM WITH SONGS LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe I did not pay attention to this song until today. This song serves as a metaphor for the ups and downs of a relationship and the longing for what was once a joyful and exciting connection. This complexity in her lyrics is so insane!!!
