Don’t you dare look out your window darling
Everything’s on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music’s gone…gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You’ll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I’ll be safe and sound

So I know I’ve railed against T Swizzle in the past, but this song is basically perfect.  T. Bone Burnett (Of Crazy Heart and O Brother fame) co-wrote and produced, and Taylor has backing instrumentation and harmonies from the Civil Wars, so of course the pedigree is unquestionable. That said, T. Bone doesn’t shy away from Swift’s infamous voice - he crafts the song within her range and lets her croon instead of strain for notes.  She sounds like some of her best songs (“Breathe” or “White Horse”) here, and the lyrics are spot on for the source material.

The best part?  Listening to this and Gillian Welch’s “Hard Times” while rereading the trilogy.  Alt-Country and blue grass are the natural soundtracks for these novels, and this song was a stupendous choice for the film’s lead single.

Im 250 pages in and I’ve had my copy of The Hunger Games for 18 hours. On a related note, this song is gorgeous.

womensweardaily: Jean Paul Gaultier Spring Couture 2012 It was fun. It was also an ode to Amy Winehouse, which made for a peculiar motif. The girls wore big, swirling beehive wigs and ultrathick cat-eye eye liner. They strutted in looks that boasted names from Winehouse’s lyrics, including “No, no, no,” “A taste of you,” and “Stronger than me,” while a live a capella quartet sang “Rehab.” For the finale, the girls stripped down to various states of corsetry, many now wearing black veils, before Gaultier did his usual high-energy spring toward the cameras.
