Greenies as Taylor Swift Songs

Ever wondered what Taylor Swift song represents you best? Well, here you can find out! Green Team’s Lauren Yih and Naomi Schulze take a look at some of Swift’s nature-themed songs and match them to their Greenie counterparts.

Out of the Woods and happiness

OOTW:

Are we out of the woods yet?

Are we out of the woods?

Are we in the clear yet?

happiness:

Honey, when I’m above the trees

I see this for what it is

The two Greenies who love hiking but have absolutely no sense of direction.

Clean

The drought was the very worst

When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst

Hung my head as I lost the war

and the sky turned black like a perfect storm

Rain came pouring down when I was drowning

The Greenie who is really going through it. Things will get better!

evermore

Hey December

Guess I'm feeling unmoored

Can't remember

What I used to fight for

The Greenie who’s feeling discouraged but hangs in there, continuing to sign petitions and contact representatives.

cowboy like me

You're a bandit like me

Eyes full of stars

Hustling for the good life

The Greenie who’s lowkey doing environmental work to impress colleges.

cardigan

When you are young, they assume you know nothin’

The Greenie who’s tired of hearing adults insist, “Climate change isn’t real!” when the science and facts say otherwise.

I Know Places

See the vulture circling dark clouds (I I I I, I I I I)

'Cause they got the cages, they got the boxes (I I I I, I I I I)

And guns, they are the hunters, we are the foxes (I I I I, I I I I)

And we run

The Greenie who’s an animal rights activist.

Come In With the Rain

Talk to the wind

Talk to the sky

The Greenie who claims to have a spiritual connection with Mother Nature. Just try to convince them otherwise.

Christmas Tree Farm

In my heart is a Christmas tree farm

There's a light in the barn

We'd run inside out from the cold

In the town, kids are dreaming of sleighs

And they're warm and they're safe

They wake to see a blanket of snow

The Greenie who fights against climate change because they dream of a white Christmas.

The Best Day

I'm five years old, it's getting cold, I've got my big coat on

I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you, I run and run

Past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides, look now, the sky is gold

I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home

The nostalgic Greenie who wishes they were a kid again, before the summers got too hot and the wildfires too close to home.

the last great american dynasty

Bill was the heir to the Standard Oil name, and money

And they said "There goes the last great American dynasty"

I had a marvelous time

Ruining everything

The political Greenie who had a marvelous time ruining Joe Kennedy III’s campaign!

no body, no crime

I think he did it, but I just can’t prove it

I think he did it, but I just can’t prove it

No, no body no crime,

But I ain’t lettin’ up until the day I die

The Greenie who is determined to catch every oil executive and destroy their pipelines.

the lakes - bonus track

Take me to the Lakes where all the poets went to die

I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you

Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry

I'm setting off, but not without my muse

The Greenie who longs for a future with a Green New Deal, where the world is green and peaceful.

Cornelia Street and All Too Well

Cornelia Street

Windows flung right open, autumn air

Jacket 'round my shoulders is yours

We bless the rains on Cornelia Street

All Too Well

Oh, your sweet disposition

And my wide-eyed gaze

We're singing in the car, getting lost upstate

Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place

The Greenie who loves fall. You know they’re already prepared for apple picking and the changing leaves!

ivy (part 1)

I'd meet you where the spirit meets the bones

In a faith forgotten land

In from the snow

Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow

Tarnished but so grand

Clover blooms in the fields

Spring breaks loose, the time is near

The cottage core Greenie who dreams of running away to the French countryside.

ivy (part 2)

So yeah, it's a fire

It's a goddamn blaze in the dark

And you started it

You started it

So yeah, it's a war

It's the goddamn fight of my life

The Greenie who leads the protest, megaphone in their hand.

invisible string

Teal was the color of your shirt

When you were sixteen at the yogurt shop

You used to work at to make a little money

The responsible Greenie who’s planned out their whole life.

White Horse

I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairytale

I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet

Lead her up the stairwell

This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town

I was a dreamer before you went and let me down

Now it's too late for you and your white horse

To come around

The Greenie that dreams of moving to New York. They dream of joining Sunrise Movement NYC and buying all their food from zero-waste co-ops!

Tim McGraw

He said the way my blue eyes shined

Put those Georgia stars to shame that night

The Greenie that phonebanked and wrote letters to voters in Georgia.

Holy Ground

It was good

Never looking down

And right there where we stood

Was holy ground

The Greenie who celebrates after each successful beach cleanup.

Change

Because these things will change

Can you feel it now?

These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down

The positive Greenie who is always too busy to hang out because they’re at conferences or protests.

marjorie

The autumn chill that wakes me up

You loved the amber skies so much

Long limbs and frozen swims

You'd always go past where our feet could touch

The adventurous Greenie who is always hiking (and never gets lost)!
