Opalite

 

                         Shall we sing?

Taylor Swift is back with a new music video for her hit song, "Opalite." The song is from her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl.

The video is very special because it looks like a 1990s romantic comedy movie. Taylor directed the video herself. 

In the video, Taylor plays a lonely woman who has a "pet rock." She meets a man  who has a "pet cactus." They use a magical product called "Opalite Spray" and fall in love.

Taylor  said the song is about making your own happiness, even when life is difficult.

Watch the video:

4. Which song makes you feel good?


Lyrics

I had a bad habit

Of missing lovers pastMy brother used to call it'Eating out of the trash'It's never gonna last
I thought my house was hauntedI used to live with ghostsAnd all the perfect couplesSaid, "When you know you know."And, "When you don't you don't."
And all of the foes and all of the friendsHave seen it before, they'll see it againLife is a song, it ends when it endsI was wrong
But my Mama told meIt's alrightYou were dancing through the lightning strikesSleepless in the onyx nightBut now the sky is opaliteOh oh oh oh, oh my LordNever made no one like you beforeYou had to make your own sunshineBut now the sky is opaliteOh oh oh oh oh
You couldn't understand itWhy you felt aloneYou were in it for realShe was in her phoneAnd you were just a pose
And don't we try to love loveWe give it all we got (we give it all we got)You finally left the tableAnd what a simple thoughtYou're starving til you're not
And all of the foes and all of the friendsHave messed up before, they'll mess up againLife is a song, it ends when it endsYou move on
And that's when I told youIt's alrightYou were dancing through the lightning strikesSleepless in the onyx nightBut now the sky is opaliteOh oh oh oh, oh my LordNever met no one like you beforeYou had to make your own sunshineBut now the sky is opaliteOh oh oh oh oh
This is justA storm inside a teacupBut shelter here with me, my loveThunder like a drumThis life will beat you up, up, up, upThis is just a temporary speed bumpBut failure brings you freedomAnd I can bring you love, love, love, love, loveDon't you sweat it, baby
It's alrightYou were dancing through the lightning strikesSleepless in the onyx nightBut now the sky is opaliteOh oh oh oh, oh my LordNever made no one like you before, noYou had to make your own sunshineBut now the sky is opaliteOh oh oh oh oh
