One such imagery was of her paternal <a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/wiki\/family\/archie-dean-swift\/\">grandfather Dean<\/a>, who fought at the Battle of Guadalcanal, an American military campaign against Empire of Japan, fought between August 7, 1942, and February 9, 1943, in World War II. Taylor also mentioned another imagery that visualizes \u201chands held through plastic\u201d, in reference to the quarantine protocols that were followed during the pandemic.

But actually, what I had been doing really frequently up until that point was I had been doing a lot of research on my grandfather who fought in World War II at Guadalcanal, which was an extremely bloody battle. And he never talked about it. Not with his sons, not with his wife. Nobody got to hear about what happened there. So my dad and his brothers did a lot of digging and found out that my granddad was exposed to some of the worst situations you could ever imagine as a human being. So I kind of tried to imagine what would happen in order to make you just never be able to speak about something. And when I was thinking about that I realized that there are people right now taking a twenty minute break in between shifts at a hospital who are having this kind of trauma happen to them right now, that they probably will never wanna speak about.

In the first verse, Taylor sings of Dean on the 1942 battlefield, attending to a soldier bleeding out. In the second verse, she switches to a 2020 medical ward which has patients breathing with difficulty and nurses attending to faltering patients. She parallels the pressure both sets of workers endure as they help patients and serve their country while experiencing trauma, witnessing death, and having to reconcile with that to continue serving.

It is an ambient and chamber-pop tune set to a glacial piano, a howling brass and orchestrals. Dessner stated that he imagined \u201cglacial, Icelandic sounds with distended chords and this almost classical feeling\u201d when Taylor described the idea of the sound she wanted for \u201cepiphany\u201d. Therefore, Dessner slowed down compositions from different instruments and reversed them to create a \u201cgiant stack of harmony\u201d, and added piano for a cinematic trope.

A stillness, in a sense. [...] To me, it\u2019s like a nurse, doctor, or medical professional, where med school doesn\u2019t fully prepare you for seeing someone pass away or just the difficult emotional things that you\u2019ll encounter in your job. In the past, heroes were just soldiers. Now, they\u2019re also medical professionals. To me, that\u2019s the underlying mission of the song. There are some things that you see that are hard to talk about. You just bear witness to them. But there\u2019s something else incredibly soothing and comforting about this song. My brother did really beautiful orchestration of it.\u00bb\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-q-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-blockquote__author\">Aaron Dessner<\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ad36303 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ad36303\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Live Performance<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e37f931 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e37f931\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTaylor first performed \u201cepiphany\u201d together with Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff for her concert film\/documentary <a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/videography\/concert-movies\/folklore-long-pond-studio-sessions\/\"><em>folklore: the lond pond studio sessions<\/em><\/a> (2020).\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a712cb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9a712cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Critical Reception<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a9f90c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8a9f90c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSarah Carson, reviewing for <em>I<\/em>, deemed \u201cepiphany\u201d a \u201cspectral\u201d track that immortalizes the Covid-19 pandemic. Maura Johnston of <em>Entertainment Weekly<\/em> also called it spectral, writing that the song is driven by \u201cSwift\u2019s exploration of others\u2019 inner worlds\u201d, which allows her to \u201ctake on new voices\u201d. <em>The Atlantic<\/em> writer Spencer Kornhaber dubbed Taylor\u2019s vocals in the song a \u201ctranslucent beam\u201d, with her syllables falling \u201cslowly like ash\u201d. He added that a song like \u201cepiphany\u201d should not work for \u201ca woman of great privilege\u201d like Taylor, who connects two traumas that \u201caren\u2019t her own\u201d, but it does work because she \u201cwrites with a care and empathy that feel almost priestly\u201d. Writing for <em>Slate<\/em>, Carl Wilson wrote that Taylor describes these scenes in \u201cwarm measured syllables\u201d similar to Kate Bush\u2019s 1989 song \u201cThis Woman\u2019s Work\u201d. Annie Zaleski of <em>The A. V.

folklore (2020) \u201cepiphany\u201d is the thirteenth song on Taylor\u2019s eighth studio album folklore (2020). It is a homage to healthcare workers and their selfless services during the Covid-19 pandemic. In the prologue for the album, Taylor explained that the song also touches on her grandfather\u2019s experience in the military during World War II. Table of Contents Background and Lyrical Theme folklore was conceived by Taylor as figments of mythopoeic visuals in her mind, a result of her imagination \u201crunning wild\u201d while isolating herself during the Covid-19 pandemic. One such imagery was of her paternal grandfather Dean, who fought at the Battle of Guadalcanal, an American military campaign against Empire of Japan, fought between August 7, 1942, and February 9, 1943, in World War II. Taylor also mentioned another imagery that visualizes \u201chands held through plastic\u201d, in reference to the quarantine protocols that were followed during the pandemic. These two concepts formed the central theme of \u201cepiphany\u201d. \u00abI remember thinking, \u2018Maybe I wanna write a sports story.\u2019 Because I had just watched The Last Dance and I was thinking all in terms of sports, and winners, and underdogs. But actually, what I had been doing really frequently up until that point was I had been doing a lot of research on my grandfather who fought in World War II at Guadalcanal, which was an extremely bloody battle. And he never talked about it. Not with his sons, not with his wife. Nobody got to hear about what happened there. So my dad and his brothers did a lot of digging and found out that my granddad was exposed to some of the worst situations you could ever imagine as a human being. So I kind of tried to imagine what would happen in order to make you just never be able to speak about something. And when I was thinking about that I realized that there are people right now taking a twenty minute break in between shifts at a hospital who are having this kind of trauma happen to them right now, that they probably will never wanna speak about. And so I thought that this is an opportunity to maybe tell that story.\u00bb Taylor Swift A homage to healthcare workers during the Covid-19 pandemic, the song\u2019s lyrics describe the devastation caused by the pandemic, while deeming doctors and nurses as soldiers on beaches, correlating their emotional distress to that of her veteran grandfather Dean at the Battle of Guadalcanal. In the first verse, Taylor sings of Dean on the 1942 battlefield, attending to a soldier bleeding out. In the second verse, she switches to a 2020 medical ward which has patients breathing with difficulty and nurses attending to faltering patients. She parallels the pressure both sets of workers endure as they help patients and serve their country while experiencing trauma, witnessing death, and having to reconcile with that to continue serving. Taylor told Aaron Dessner during folklore: the long pond studio sessions (2020) that she found the experience of being able to write such vulnerable songs with him very freeing: \u00abI often feel that there have been times in my life where things have fallen apart so methodically, and I couldn\u2019t control how things were going wrong, and nothing I did stopped it. I just felt like I\u2019d been pushed out a plane and I was scratching on the air on the way down. I just felt like the universe was doing its thing. It was just dismantling my life and there was nothing I could do. And this is a weird situation where \u2013 ever since I started making music with [Aaron] \u2013 I felt like that was the universe forcing things to fall into place perfectly and there\u2019s nothing I could do. It\u2019s one of those weird things that makes you think about life a lot. This lockdown could\u2019ve been a time where I absolutely lost my mind and instead I think this album was a real floatation device for both of us [Aaron and her].\u00bb Taylor Swift \u00a0 Production While Taylor penned the lyrics to \u201cepiphany\u201d, Aaron Dessner composed its instrumentals and produced the song. It is an ambient and chamber-pop tune set to a glacial piano, a howling brass and orchestrals. Dessner stated that he imagined \u201cglacial, Icelandic sounds with distended chords and this almost classical feeling\u201d when Taylor described the idea of the sound she wanted for \u201cepiphany\u201d. Therefore, Dessner slowed down compositions from different instruments and reversed them to create a \u201cgiant stack of harmony\u201d, and added piano for a cinematic trope. Melodically, it is a hymn, displaying Taylor\u2019s reverent and \u201cangelic\u201d vocals. Aaron Dessner said: \u00abFor \u2018epiphany,\u2019 she did have this idea of a beautiful drone, or a very cinematic sort of widescreen song, where it\u2019s not a lot of accents but more like a sea to bathe in. A stillness, in a sense. [\u2026] To me, it\u2019s like a nurse, doctor, or medical professional, where med school doesn\u2019t fully prepare you for seeing someone pass away or just the difficult emotional things that you\u2019ll encounter in your job. In the past, heroes were just soldiers. Now, they\u2019re also medical professionals. To me, that\u2019s the underlying mission of the song. There are some things that you see that are hard to talk about. You just bear witness to them. But there\u2019s something else incredibly soothing and comforting about this song. My brother did really beautiful orchestration of it.\u00bb Aaron Dessner Live Performance Taylor first performed \u201cepiphany\u201d together with Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff for her concert film\/documentary folklore: the lond pond studio sessions (2020). Critical Reception Sarah Carson, reviewing for I, deemed \u201cepiphany\u201d a \u201cspectral\u201d track that immortalizes the Covid-19 pandemic. Maura Johnston of Entertainment Weekly also called it spectral, writing that the song is driven by \u201cSwift\u2019s exploration of others\u2019 inner worlds\u201d, which allows her to \u201ctake on new voices\u201d.
