She and Dessner worked again on her follow-up album <em>evermore<\/em>, a \u201csister record\u201d to <em>folklore<\/em>. This time, they also worked with Bryce Dessner, Aaron Dessner\u2019s twin brother.\n<br><br>\nThe Dessner brothers sent Taylor some of the instrumentals they made for their band, The National. One of those was what would become \u201cconey island\u201d. Taylor and her former partner, English actor <a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/wiki\/family\/joe-alwyn\/\">Joe Alwyn<\/a>, wrote its lyrics, and recorded it with her vocals. After listening to the demo, the Dessner brothers observed that the song feels very related to The National, and envisioned Matt Berninger (lead vocalist of The National) singing it, and Bryan Devendorf (drummer of The National) playing its drums. Aaron Dessner informed Berninger, who was \u201cexcited\u201d for the idea. The band assembled, Devendorf played the drums, while his brother Scott Devendorf played the bass and pocket piano; Bryce Dessner helped produce the song. Recalling how the collaboration came about, Taylor said:\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-dd52bb5 elementor-blockquote--align-left elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"dd52bb5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\u00abI think I might have been coming from a place of somebody who's been in a relationship for decades and wakes up one day and realizes that they've taken their partner completely for granted. So whether you want to look at it from the perspective of somebody who's in a new or a very longstanding relationship, it just really speaks to if two people are trying to communicate but they're two ships passing in the night. They're trying to love each other but the signals are somehow missing each other. I just found that interesting and we're really proud of this one. There were elements of it that immediately reminded me of Matt Berninger's vocal stylings and his writing and I targeted some of the lyrics of the second verse to sound like what he might do. I hoped that he might want to sing on it because we already had two members of The National on the song with Aaron and Bryce. So we got our wish and Matt sang on this song. He did such a great job, I'm a huge fan of the band and really honored that this was able to come together with The National.\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\">Taylor Swift<\/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-ceb502d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ceb502d\" 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\tMatt Berninger said that work experience with Taylor was \u201clike dancing with Gene Kelly.

island Single | Featuring The National | evermore (2020) \u201cconey island\u201d is the ninth track on Taylor\u2019s ninth studio album, evermore (2020). It was written by Taylor, Joe Alwyn (under the pseudonym William Bowery) and The National members Aaron and Bryce Dessner, with production being handled by the latter two. It is an alternative rock and indie folk duet that counterpoints Taylor\u2019s melodious vocals against Matt Berninger\u2019s baritone, depicting a separated couple\u2019s memories in Coney Island, New York City. Table of Contents Background and Release Taylor had collaborated with The National\u2019s Aaron Dessner on her 2020 album folklore, an indie folk album that departs from the upbeat pop production of her previous releases. She and Dessner worked again on her follow-up album evermore, a \u201csister record\u201d to folklore. This time, they also worked with Bryce Dessner, Aaron Dessner\u2019s twin brother. The Dessner brothers sent Taylor some of the instrumentals they made for their band, The National. One of those was what would become \u201cconey island\u201d. Taylor and her former partner, English actor Joe Alwyn, wrote its lyrics, and recorded it with her vocals. After listening to the demo, the Dessner brothers observed that the song feels very related to The National, and envisioned Matt Berninger (lead vocalist of The National) singing it, and Bryan Devendorf (drummer of The National) playing its drums. Aaron Dessner informed Berninger, who was \u201cexcited\u201d for the idea. The band assembled, Devendorf played the drums, while his brother Scott Devendorf played the bass and pocket piano; Bryce Dessner helped produce the song. Recalling how the collaboration came about, Taylor said: \u00abI think I might have been coming from a place of somebody who\u2019s been in a relationship for decades and wakes up one day and realizes that they\u2019ve taken their partner completely for granted. So whether you want to look at it from the perspective of somebody who\u2019s in a new or a very longstanding relationship, it just really speaks to if two people are trying to communicate but they\u2019re two ships passing in the night. They\u2019re trying to love each other but the signals are somehow missing each other. I just found that interesting and we\u2019re really proud of this one. There were elements of it that immediately reminded me of Matt Berninger\u2019s vocal stylings and his writing and I targeted some of the lyrics of the second verse to sound like what he might do. I hoped that he might want to sing on it because we already had two members of The National on the song with Aaron and Bryce. So we got our wish and Matt sang on this song. He did such a great job, I\u2019m a huge fan of the band and really honored that this was able to come together with The National.\u00bb Taylor Swift Matt Berninger said that work experience with Taylor was \u201clike dancing with Gene Kelly. She made [him] look good and didn\u2019t drop [him] once\u201d. Lyrical Parallels To Other Songs The bridge of \u201cconey island\u201d contains a lot of references to Taylor\u2019s past work, probably encouraged by the fact that she had spent the latter half of 2020 starting to rerecord her first six albums and keeping them fresh in her memory. The first reference is \u201cWere you standing in the hallway, with a big cake, happy birthday\u201d, which calls back to the birthday party Taylor first mentioned in 2012\u2019s \u201cThe Moment I Knew.\u201d \u201cDid I paint your bluest skies the darkest grey a universe away?\u201d is almost directly lifted from her Speak Now ballad \u201cDear John\u201d (\u201cYou paint me a blue sky, then go back and turn it to grey\u201d). \u201cOut of the Woods\u201d is referenced when Taylor sings \u201cAnd when I got into the accident, the sight that flashed before me was your face\u201d (\u201cRemember when you hit the brakes too soon? Twenty stitches in a hospital room\u201d). Finally, the last line could be a nod to when Taylor won the Grammy for \u201cAlbum of the Year\u201d in 2016 and didn\u2019t thank Calvin Harris, even though they were dating at the time. In the documentary Miss Americana (2020) Taylor says she felt completely alone at the time, and had no one to share that moment with. Live Performances Taylor first performed \u201cconey island\u201d during her sixth headlining concert tour, \u201cThe Eras Tour\u201d (2023-2024). It was the second surprise song during her show on April 28, 2023, in Atlanta. She sang \u201cconey island\u201d again on February 23, 2024, during her first \u201cEras Tour\u201d show in Sydney. It was part of a piano mashup, together with \u201cWhite Horse\u201d (2008). Opening act Sabrina Carpenter joined Taylor for the performance. On August 17, 2024, she paired the song with \u201cMy Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys\u201d (2024) in London. Commercial Performance All of the tracks on evermore debuted inside the top 75 of the Billboard Global 200 chart simultaneously; \u201cconey island\u201d was at No. 45. In the US, the song opened at No. 63 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 12 on the Hot Rock &#038; Alternative Songs chart. The song reached No. 31 on the Canadian Hot 100. It further reached No. 15 on the Flemish Ultratop 100, and No. 43 in Australia. Upon service to US alternative radio, \u201cconey island\u201d reached No. 18 on the Billboard Adult Alternative Songs chart. Critical Reception Spin critic Bobby Olivier described \u201cconey island\u201d as a \u201cwonderfully dark duet\u201d that feels like \u201ca lonely waltz down a Brooklyn boardwalk\u201d, and praised the fusion of Taylor\u2019s \u201cwispy\u201d head voice with Berninger\u2019s bass. Chris Willman of Variety compared the song to \u201cexile\u201d (2020), another similar duet on Taylor\u2019s preceding album, where former lovers take turns in blaming each other, with the opposite happening in \u201cconey island\u201d. Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph wrote that the song \u201coffers an insight into where their aesthetics meet\u201d, counterpointing Taylor\u2019s \u201clucid, melodious voice\u201d aside \u201cthe mumbled intensity\u201d of Berninger\u2019s baritone.
