I was a bit intimidated, frankly. Guy in mid-thirties with confident teenage co-writer. People like to bash young, successful artists. Attribute it to their label, marketing, the target market, but Taylor was the real deal. I know first-hand that the girl, at a young age, before her <a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/albums\/taylor-swift-album\/\">first record<\/a> ever came out, was more driven and focused than I\u2019ve probably ever been.

Taylor offered the first few lyrics of the track, while Blu began to experiment with some alternative tunings and the pair also collaborated on suitable melodies until eventually the framework of a song came together. However, Taylor knew what she wanted in some regards from the outset. \u201cI remember throwing chorus ideas to her and she was certainly not afraid to say \u2018No\u2019 to things she didn\u2019t like,\u201d Blu explained.\n<br><br>\nWhen the track took shape, it was called \u201cIs This Really Happening\u201d and became an ode to a love affair that seemed almost too good to be true. \u201cIt\u2019s about being in a relationship or a moment with someone, and it\u2019s amazing, and you sort of have to pinch yourself and wonder if it could be as good as it seems,\u201d Blu added.\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-9ced417 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"9ced417\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9609324988608069\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9609324988608069\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"6894733689\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aa77ca6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"aa77ca6\" 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\">Remaining a Demo Track<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-31d1503 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"31d1503\" 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\tHowever, while Blu connected instantly to Taylor as a writer, he wasn\u2019t sure how to relate the teenage optimism that flowed through her work. \u201cThe challenge in writing with someone else is making [the lyrics] mean something to two different people with completely different lives,\u201d he revealed. \u201cI\u2019m a jaded 30-something. If I had to guess, I\u2019d say a teenager has more of those than I do. Maybe I need to rethink my approach!\u201d\n<br><br>\nDespite spending several hours on the track, \u201cThis Is Really Happening\u201d was never recorded by Taylor in the studio with a band \u2013 instead it seemed destined to remain an acoustic demo forever. The irony was that, just like the song Taylor had been picturing, the love affair was more of a fantasy than a reality and never really got off the ground.\n<br><br>\n\u201cI still think the songs stands up on its own,\u201d Blu declared. \u201cI love the lyrics and I love the melody and I actually thought it was going to make her first album. But then I\u2019d be [speaking to you] from my beach house, instead of my brother\u2019s air mattress, if it did.\u201d\n<br><br>\nEventually, \u201cThis Is Really Happening\u201d was sold to country

Is Really Happening Unreleased | Country Strong (Britni Hoover Album) | 2003 \u201cThis Is Really Happening\u201d is one of Taylor\u2019s early unreleased songs, co-written by her and Blu Sanders while she was signed with Sony. The song was sold to country music artist Britni Hoover, who recorded it for her 2007 album, Country Strong. Table of Contents Background Blu Sanders has a first hand account of writing the song with a young Taylor. He recalled the writing session for \u201cThis Is Really Happening\u201d as follows: \u00abIf I remember correctly, she came in with the first couple of lines which I thought were some pretty heavy lyrics for a 14-year-old. I was a bit intimidated, frankly. Guy in mid-thirties with confident teenage co-writer. People like to bash young, successful artists. Attribute it to their label, marketing, the target market, but Taylor was the real deal. I know first-hand that the girl, at a young age, before her first record ever came out, was more driven and focused than I\u2019ve probably ever been. When I was 15, I was kicking the soccer ball around, not writing songs!\u00bb Blu Sanders Despite their differences in age, they soon found a winning formula with which to work together. Taylor offered the first few lyrics of the track, while Blu began to experiment with some alternative tunings and the pair also collaborated on suitable melodies until eventually the framework of a song came together. However, Taylor knew what she wanted in some regards from the outset. \u201cI remember throwing chorus ideas to her and she was certainly not afraid to say \u2018No\u2019 to things she didn\u2019t like,\u201d Blu explained. When the track took shape, it was called \u201cIs This Really Happening\u201d and became an ode to a love affair that seemed almost too good to be true. \u201cIt\u2019s about being in a relationship or a moment with someone, and it\u2019s amazing, and you sort of have to pinch yourself and wonder if it could be as good as it seems,\u201d Blu added. Remaining a Demo Track However, while Blu connected instantly to Taylor as a writer, he wasn\u2019t sure how to relate the teenage optimism that flowed through her work. \u201cThe challenge in writing with someone else is making [the lyrics] mean something to two different people with completely different lives,\u201d he revealed. \u201cI\u2019m a jaded 30-something. If I had to guess, I\u2019d say a teenager has more of those than I do. Maybe I need to rethink my approach!\u201d Despite spending several hours on the track, \u201cThis Is Really Happening\u201d was never recorded by Taylor in the studio with a band \u2013 instead it seemed destined to remain an acoustic demo forever. The irony was that, just like the song Taylor had been picturing, the love affair was more of a fantasy than a reality and never really got off the ground. \u201cI still think the songs stands up on its own,\u201d Blu declared. \u201cI love the lyrics and I love the melody and I actually thought it was going to make her first album. But then I\u2019d be [speaking to you] from my beach house, instead of my brother\u2019s air mattress, if it did.\u201d Eventually, \u201cThis Is Really Happening\u201d was sold to country singer Britni Hoover and released on her album Country Strong (2007). Source: \u201cTaylor Swift: The Rise Of The Nashville Teen\u201d by Chloe Govan (Omnibus Press, 2012) Lyrics [Verse 1] Beneath the chandelier of stars and atmosphere Tangled like the roots on the ground, the windows opened up The wind is blowing and we\u2019re both not making a sound It\u2019s like I\u2019m melting on into you Give me a reason why we should ever move and [Chorus] Tell me you\u2019ll never leave me And I\u2019m not crazy and this is really happening That this is really happening [Verse 2] Could this be better? You write me letters, though you see me every day You tend to treat me like my name is up in lights It really blows me away Lock me up in a dark room and I still can\u2019t take my eyes off you [Chorus] Tell me you\u2019ll never leave me And I\u2019m not crazy and this is really happening That this is really happening [Bridge] All those kisses up against your car For all those wishes on planes we thought were stars Memories like photographs Oh, baby, here we are Tell me you\u2019ll never leave me and I\u2019m not crazy and this is really happening Oh, oh, baby [Chorus] Tell me you\u2019ll always need me That I drive you crazy and this is really happening Oh, that this is really happening Tell me you\u2019ll always need me (Need me, tell me, baby) That I drive you crazy (Oh)
