Taylor Swift - Wildest Dreams
He said let's get out of this town a
Drive out of the city b
Away from the crowds c
I thought heaven can't help me now a
Nothing lasts forever d 5
But this is gonna take me down a

He's so tall, and handsome as hell a
He's so bad but he does it so well a
I can see the end as it begins b
my one condition is b 10
Reff: Say you'll remember me a
Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset babe b
Red lips and rosy cheeks c
Say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams b
Wildest dreams b 15
I said no one has to know what we do a
His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room b
and his voice is a familiar sound, nothing lasts forever c
But this is getting good now d

He's so tall, and handsome as hell a 20
He's so bad but he does it so well a
and when we've had our very last kiss b
but my last request is b
Back to reff:
You see me in hindsight a
Tangled up with you all night a 25
Burn it down b
Someday when you leave me c
I bet these memories hunt you around b

You see me in hindsight a
Tangled up with you all night a
Burn it down b 30
Someday when you leave me c
I bet these memories follow you around b

Say you'll remember me a
Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset babe b
Red lips and rosy cheeks c 35
Say you'll see me again even if it's just pretend d
Mimpi Terliar
Ia berkata, mari keluar dari kota ini
Keluar kota, jauh dari keramaian
Kurasa Tuhan tak dapat membantuku sekarang,
Tidak ada yang abadi, tapi ini akan menjatuhkanku

Dia begitu tinggi dan tampan sekali
Dia sanagt jahat, tapi dia melakukannya begitu baik
Aku bisa melihat akhir tepat saat itu dimulai
Satu satunya syaratku adalah

Katakan kamu akan mengingatku
Berdiri mengenakan gaun indah
Menerawang ke matahari terbenam, sayang
Bibir merah dan pipi kemerahan
Katakan kamu akan menemuiku lagi
Meskipun hanya di dalam mimpi terliarmu

Aku bilang, tak seorang pun harus tahu apa yang kita lakukan
Tangannya di rambutku, pakaiannya di kamarku
Dan suaranya sangat kukenal
Tak ada yang abadi, tapi ini semakin baik sekarang

Dia begitu tinggi dan tampan sekali
Dia begitu buruk, tapi dia melakukannya begitu baik
Dan saat kita berciuman untuk kali terakhir
Permintaan terakhirku adalah

Kau akan melihatku dalam keremangan
Terjerat denganmu sepanjang malam
Membakarnya
Suatu hari ketika kamu meninggalkanku
Aku yakin kenangan ini selalu memburumu

Katakan kamu akan menemuiku lagi
Meskipun jika ini hanya kepura – puraan mimpi terliar mu.

Summary
This song is yet another perfect example of how much Taylor has changed and grown up. However, "Wildest Dreams" appreciates a relationship for what it is. It is about a relationship that she knows will not last forever, and she's realistic about that. Just because a relationship is not lasting does not mean that it was not worthwhile. Taylor clearly states that the memories and experiences are still special and meaningful.

First stanza tell that Taylor sounds found someone she really liked , even a man - this man has given a sign - a sign that he is also interested in Taylor . "Heaven cannot help "but Taylor still do it even though he knew it was wrong.
Okay, lyrics further illustrate the relationship that Taylor himself knows this is not a commitment to be close relationship, even resigned from the beginning. The important thing he will always remember her.
It is very clear, this relationship without the commitment that I think Taylor bring feeling here. Taylor very much enjoyed this apparent relationship but at the same time very painful. Well, in the end it looks like Taylor emotions too. He does not accept so she is usually the heartbreaker now he broke her heart.

The background of the author
Taylor Alison Swift was born on December 13, 1989, in Reading, Pennsylvania, to Andrea (Finlay), a one-time marketing executive, and Scott Kingsley Swift, a financial adviser. Her ancestry includes German and English, as well as some Scottish, Irish, Welsh and 1/16th Italian. She was named after James Taylor, and her mother believed that if she had a gender neutral name it would help her forge a business career. Taylor spent most of her childhood on an 11-acre Christmas tree farm in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. When she was nine years old the family moved to Wyomissing, PA, where she attended West Reading Elementary Center and Wyomissing Area Junior/Senior High School. At the age of nine she turned her attention to musical theatre and performed in Berks Youth Theatre Academy productions of "Grease", "Annie", "Bye Bye Birdie" and "The Sound of Music". She traveled regularly to New York City for vocal and acting lessons. However, after a few years of auditioning in New York and not getting anything, she became interested in country music. At age 11, after many attempts, Taylor won a local talent competition by singing a rendition of LeAnn Rimes' "Big Deal", and was given the opportunity to appear as the opening act for Charlie Daniels at a Strausstown amphitheater. This interest in country music isolated Swift from her middle school peers.

At age 12 she was shown by a computer repairman how to play three chords on a guitar, inspiring her to write her first song, "Lucky You". She had previously won a national poetry contest with a poem entitled "Monster in My Closet", but now began to focus on songwriting. She moved to Nashville at age 14, having secured an artist development deal with RCA Records. She left RCA Records when she was 15--the label wanted her to record the work of other songwriters and wait until she was 18 to release an album, but she felt ready to launch her career with her own material. At an industry showcase at Nashville's The Bluebird Café in 2005, Swift caught the attention of Scott Borchetta, a Dreamworks Records executive who was preparing to form his own independent record label, Big Machine Records. Taylor was one of the new label's first signings. Jon Caramanica of The New York Times described it as "a small masterpiece of pop-minded country, both wide-eyed and cynical, held together by Ms. Swift's firm, pleading voice. Her first album was a country genre.
Swift's fifth studio album, 1989, was released on October 27, 2014. Swift wrote one song alone, and co-wrote the remaining 12 with Antonoff, Martin, Shellback, Imogen Heap, Ryan Tedder and Ali Payami. Martin and Swift served as executive co-producers while Chapman, Antonoff, Heap, Tedder, Payami and Greg Kurstin produced individual tracks. Musically, it has been described as an album "driven by synths and drums in lieu of guitar". Swift herself described 1989 as her first "official" pop release
The background of literary work
"Wildest Dreams" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift for her fifth studio album, 1989. Big Machine Records released the song to radio on August 31, 2015, as the album's fifth single. Swift co-wrote the song with its producers Max Martin and Shellback. Musically, "Wildest Dreams" is a ballad with a prominent dream pop influence, with the lyrics describing Swift's plea for her lover to remember her.
The accompanying music video was directed by Joseph Kahn, who previously directed the music videos for the second and fourth singles from 1989, "Blank Space" and "Bad Blood" and filmed in Africa and California. The video was first aired on television during the pre-show of the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards on August 30, 2015. Scott Eastwood appeared in the video.[22] In the video, Swift plays a fictional actress named Majorie Finn which is a reference to her grandmother's name, Majorie Finlay, and Scott Eastwood plays a fictional character named Robert Kingsley. Swift's grandfather's name was Robert and her dad's middle name is Kingsley. Swift came up with the concept after reading a book by Ava Gardner and Peter Evans, The Secret Conversations. Her premise for the video is that—since social media did not exist in the '50s—it would be impossible for actors not to fall in love if they were isolated together in Africa, since there would be no one else to talk to. According to Khan the video is based on classic Hollywood romances like Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, as well as classic movies like The African Queen, Out of Africa and The English Patient.[24]
The video, set in an African Savannah in the 1950s during the golden age of cinema, follows the story of fictional brunette actress Marjorie Finn (Swift) shooting a romantic adventure film, Wildest Dreams, in the savannah with co-actor, Robert Kingsley (Eastwood) which is a reference to the 1985 film Out of Africa.[25] The video is interspersed with shots of African wildlife and natural scenery including shots of a cascading waterfall and others such as Swift lounging with a lion. After a fight on set, the romance ends and the video cuts to a Hollywood premiere, where Swift sees her co-star, Eastwood, with his wife. She is visibly upset but tries to act nonchalant, and the video ends with her fleeing the premiere and seeing her co-star run out onto the road in the side mirror of the limousine.
Other Criticism
The song received mostly positive reviews. Sputnikmusic called the song an "impassioned piece" and thought that, "all it really proves is that Swift is capable of taking the contemporary influences around her and molding them into something impressively original." Corey Bealsey of PopMatters described it as "Swift doing more or less a literal Lana Del Rey impression and managing it with a ventriloquist's mastery to conjure Del Rey's moody, sultry atmospherics." Marah Eakin of The A.V. Club said that "Swift even takes her voice down a few notches, sounding a bit more like the brusque Del Rey than her chipper self." Alexis Petridis of The Guardian praised the Lana Del Rey influences, citing that "there's something hugely cheering about the way Swift turns the persona of the pathetic female appendage snivelling over her bad-boy boyfriend on its head. Ramping up the melodrama by way of Be My Babyish drums, Wildest Dreams paints the man as the victim, doomed to spend the rest of his life haunted by what he's carelessly lost." In a review by The New York Times, noted that this song contained the "most pronounced vocal tweak" on the album and how "at the bridge, she skips up an octave, sputtering out bleats of ecstasy, before retreating back under the covers."
On the other hand, Craig Manning of AbsolutePunk dismissed the song as "a bit disposable". Jem Aswad of Billboard had a mixed reception about the Lana Del Rey similarities, saying that "it's hard to tell if the song is homage or parody."


MIRRORS

Is a space that now you hold d
Show me how to fight for now a
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy b
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out d
You were right here all along e 20

It's like you're my mirror a
My mirror staring back at me b
I couldn't get any bigger a
With anyone else beside of me b

That we're making two reflections into one d
'Cause it's like you're my mirror a
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me b

Aren't you somethin', an original a
'Cause it doesn't seem merely assembled b 30
And I can't help but stare, 'cause c
I see truth somewhere in your eyes c
I can't ever change without you d
You reflect me, I love that about you d
And if I could, I would look at us all the time e 35

Cermin

Bukankah kau sesuatu 'tuk dipuja
Karena sinarmu bak cermin
Dan tak bisa kutahan diri tuk memperhatikan
Kau terpantul di hatiku ini
Jika kau pernah merasa sendiri dan cahaya membuatku sulit tuk temukan
Ketahuilah, aku selalu sejajar di sisi lainnya

PRE-CHORUS
Karena dengan menggenggam tanganmu dan saku penuh dengan jiwa
Bisa kuyakinkan dirimu tak ada tempat yang tak bisa kita tuju
Taruhlah tanganmu di kaca, aku di sini mencoba tuk sembuhkanmu
Kau hanyalah harus kuat

CHORUS
Karena aku tak ingin kehilanganmu
Sedang kutatap separuh jiwaku
Kehampaan yang menghuni hatiku
Adalah ruang yang kini kau huni
Tunjukkan padaku cara tuk berjuang
Dan kan kuyakinkan dirimu, kasih, sungguh mudah
Tuk kembali padamu saat kutemukan caranya
Selama ini kau terus di sini
Seolah kau adalah cerminku
Cerminku yang membalas tatapanku
Aku tak bisa lebih besar lagi
Bersama orang lain di sisiku
Dan kini jelaslah sudah seperti janji ini
Bahwa kita sedang menyatukan dua bayangan
Karena seolah kau adalah cerminku
Cerminku yang membalas tatapanku

Bukankah kau sesuatu yang asli
Karena ini tampaknya tak sekedar rakitan
Dan tak bisa kutahan diriku tuk memandang
Karena kulihat kebenaran di matamu
Ooh aku tak bisa berubah tanpamu
Kau memantulkanku, aku suka itu darimu
Dan andai kubisa, kan kupandangi kita sepanjang waktu

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
Kemarin adalah sejarah
Esok adalah misteri
Bisa kulihat kau membalas tatapanku
Teruslah menatapku

Kasih, teruslah menatapku

CHORUS

Kau adalah cinta dalam hidupku

Kau adalah inspirasi bagi lagu istimewa ini
Dan aku hanya ingin melihat wajahmu berbinar sejak kau getarkanku
Maka kini kuucapkan selamat tinggal pada diriku yang dulu, semua itu sudah berlalu
Dan aku tak sabar untuk membawamu pulang
Agar kau tahu, kau adalah

Kau adalah cinta dalam hidupku

Kasih, kau adalah pantulanku, yang kulihat hanyalah dirimu
Pantulanku, segala yang kulakukan
Kau adalah pantulanku dan yang kulihat hanyalah dirimu
Pantulanku, segala yang kulakukan

Kau adalah cinta dalam hidupku

Summary
"Mirrors" is a "new-age wedding reception song". Lyrically, in the song, Timberlake sings to a lover about "coming to the realization" that she is his "other half". The singer references "taking a break from the relationship": "It was easy coming back to you/ Once I figured it out, you were right here all along," he sings on the chorus. "It's like you're my mirror, my mirror staring back at me/ I couldn't get any bigger/ With anyone else beside of me." Vibe's Charley Rogulewski wrote that the strength of the song is in Timberlake's Neo blue-eyed soul delivery of the "catchy" lyrics, "I don't want to lose you now. I'm looking right at the other half of me." During its length, a robot voice repeats the phrase "you are the love of my life" over 35 times

Theme
Justin Timberlake Wants To Grow Old With Jessica Biel. At the beginning of the video for "Mirrors," the song is dedicated to "William & Sadie" — JT's grandparents who were married for over 60 years. We're guessing he hopes Jessica continues to be his that they last just as long


Extrinsic Element
The background of the author
Justin Randall Timberlake (born January 31, 1981) is an American singer, songwriter, actor, and record producer. He appeared on the television shows Star Search and The All-New Mickey Mouse Club as a child. In the late 1990s, Timberlake rose to prominence as one of the two lead vocalists and youngest member of NSYNC, which eventually became one of the best-selling boy bands of all time. They released the albums NSYNC (1998), No Strings Attached (2000), and Celebrity (2001). During the group's hiatus, Timberlake released his debut solo album, the R&B-focused Justified (2002), which included the successful singles "Cry Me a River" and "Rock Your Body", and earned his first two Grammy Awards.
In January 2007, Timberlake began dating actress Jessica Biel. They became engaged in December 2011, and married on October 19, 2012 at the Borgo Egnazia resort in Fasano, Italy. Timberlake and Biel have one son, Silas Randall Timberlake, born in April 2015

The background of literary work
At the beginning of the video for "Mirrors," the song is dedicated to "William & Sadie" — JT's grandparents who were married for over 60 years. We're guessing he hopes Jessica continues to be his mirror and that they last just as long. "I think a relationship, when it's working, is constantly evolving because we as individuals evolve," Justin concludes. "You want to know that the person you're with is evolving with you."
Love is always the best inspiration. Justin Timberlake has opened up about his new single Mirrors, hinting that it is inspired by the great but not always easy loves in his life - his wife Jessica Biel and his grandparents. Though he doesn't come out and say Jessica's name, he begins explaining "Mirrors" saying, "'Mirrors' is a love song to someone that you feel like is, you know, sort of your other half." And we all know Jessica is Justin's other half!
He continues to wax romantic, adding, "One of the most valuable things in a relationship is being able to constantly change and be individual, but look to the other side to the person that you're with and and know that they're changing as well individually, but somehow you two can mirror each other and be the other half of that world that you both create." JT, what a lover!
But it's Justin Timberlake's grandmother who admits the promo reduced her 'to tears' when she first saw the emotional and 'beautiful' story.
And rightly so as the video is a tribute to herself and her late husband William, Justin's grandfather, who sadly passed away at the end of December. Now Sadie has opened up about how she feels about the video for the first time, revealing it was a complete surprise to her until Timberlake sat her down to watch the story unfold.
