Carolina
Where The Crawdads Sing (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | 2022
Background and Release
“Carolina” was first announced via Taylor’s Instagram account on March 22, 2022. On the post’s caption, she said:
«Where The Crawdads Sing is a book I got absolutely lost in when I read it years ago. As soon as I heard there was a film in the works starring the incredible Daisy Edgar Jones and produced by the brilliant Reese Witherspoon, I knew I wanted to be a part of it from the musical side. I wrote the song “Carolina” alone and asked my friend Aaron Dessner to produce it. I wanted to create something haunting and ethereal to match this mesmerizing story.»

[Lyrics from Trailer]
Ooh, ooh
They never saw me
You didn’t see me here (You didn’t see me)
No, they never did see me here
There are places I will never, ever go to
Things that only Carolina will ever know
Into the mist, into the clouds
No, you didn’t see me here
They’ll make a fest, I’ll make it count
Carolina knows
