Background and recording

Swift worked on the album for two years prior to its release. [2] Swift wrote all of the songs on the album without co-writers. Speaking on a live webcast on July 20, 2010, she said, "I actually wrote all the songs myself for this record. It didn't really happen on purpose, it just sort of happened. Like, I'd get my best ideas at 3:00 am in Arkansas, and I didn't have a co-writer around and I would just finish it." [3] In an analysis of Swift's lyrics, The Oxonian Review noted themes of regret and solitude, highlighting that "December is a month to get through so we can return to the beginning, and is certainly not a month to relish. Yet, Swift goes there—'all the time'—in 'Back To December' by delivering an apology to an ex-boyfriend, which she never did on her prior two albums." [4] Music writer Stephen Thomas Erlewine viewed that the album musically is "no great progression from Fearless but rather a subtle shift toward pure pop with the country accents [...] used as flavoring". [5]

Recording sessions for the album took place at several recording locations, including Aimeeland Studio, Blackbird Studios, and Capitol Studios in Hollywood, California, Pain in the Art Studio, and Starstruck Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, and Stonehurst Studio in Bowling Green, Kentucky. [6] Some of the songs feature live strings, and some, a full orchestra. [7]

Promotional singles

Title significance

According to Big Machine Records president/CEO Scott Borchetta , the album's original title was Enchanted . He explained: "We were at lunch, and she had played me a bunch of the new songs. I looked at her and I'm like, 'Taylor, this record isn't about fairy tales and high school anymore. That's not where you're at. I don't think the record should be called Enchanted. " After the discussion, Swift then excused herself from the table. By the time she came back, she had the Speak Now title, which comes closer to representing the evolution that the album represents in her career and in her still-young understanding of the world. [8] The title represents a common theme throughout the album, which is speaking up about things that Swift wished she had said in the moment, but didn't.

Writing and lyrical content

Swift wrote all of the songs by herself. The opening track, " Mine ", is also released as the lead single from the album. Swift explained that the uptempo country-pop song is about her tendency to run from love. [9] Critics praised the song, although some calling is "formulaic" for resonating her earlier work. [10] " Sparks Fly " was composed by Swift when she was sixteen, prior her debut to the music scene, [11] and first performed during one of her concerts in 2007. The song has gone several revisions on its lyrics, and removed the banjo that originally has. [12] Swift explained that the song is "falling for someone who you maybe shouldn't fall for, but you can't stop yourself because there's such a connection and chemistry." [13] " Back To December " is the third track from the album, and was released as the second single from the album. It received positive reviews from critics, who regarded it as one of the highlights of Speak Now. The song is one of two songs where Swift has first incorporated an orchestra on record, [14] and lyrically it is the first time that Swift ever apologizes to someone in a song. [15] Critics have speculated that the song is Swift's apology to her ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner . [16] The title track followed, which released first as a promotional single. [17] The upbeat country-pop song relies on acoustic guitar and is a narration of from the perspective of a person who crashes her former love's wedding in attempt to win him back. [18]

" Dear John " is the second longest track of Taylor's career which clocks six minutes and forty five seconds. [19] The song is an "open letter" to an ex-boyfriend, and it is speculated that the song is written to John Mayer , whom Swift has dated from late 2009 to early 2010. [20] The song is about being manipulated and betrayed by someone you loved. [19] The Grammy-winning song " Mean " is the sixth track of the album. Critics said that it is one of her most country-sounding song. [21] The song's lyrical content addresses those who question Swift's ability to sing. [22] " The Story Of Us " followed which narrates the awkwardness that takes place between two people after they break up. [23] It's a power pop song with a vibrant beat, electric guitars and a fast-paced chorus. [24] [25] " Never Grow Up " is a sweet ballad addressed to a young child from Swift feeling alone as she spends her first night in her new apartment of her own. [26] Swift explained that the song is about "the fact that I don't quite know how I feel about growing up". [27]

The power ballad " Enchanted " serves as the ninth track of the album. The song starts with guitar strings and lyrically, it finds Swift singing about meeting a guy she's attracted to without knowing if her instant infatuation is at all reciprocated. [28] [29] The song has a length of five minutes and fifty two seconds, thus making it the third longest song in the album. [29] "Better Than Revenge" is one of Swift’s vengeance songs aimed at the young actress Joe Jonas pursued after breaking up with Swift. [30] The song contains pop punk elements which has been compared to Paramore's Misery Business by several critics. [31] "Innocent" is a soft rock tune written in response to last year's Kanye West contretemps on the MTV Video Music Awards . [32] The song is about someone who has lost his path their life, but whose "string of lights are still bright to me." [33] "Haunted" is the most dramatic song on the album. It's a symphonic rock song, starts off with violins and other string instruments, and it is the second song in the album to incorporated an orchestra. [14] The song is about after a break up, and involves Swift demanding that the guy to "finish what he started." [34]

" Last Kiss " is a folk pop ballad song. Swift explained that the song "is sort of like a letter to somebody." [35] The song is rumored to be about Joe Jonas . [20] The song clocks six minutes and seven seconds, making it the second longest song on the album. The closing track " Long Live ", which also known as "We Will be Remembered", is about her band and her fans. It is a look towards the future, to wonder what story will be told then about today. [29] Swift said that "this song for me is like looking at a photo album of all the award shows, and all the stadium shows, and all the hands in the air in the crowd. It's sort of the first love song that I've written to my team." [36]

Speak Now was released worldwide on October 25, 2010, through Big Machine Records . [37] [38] It was made available for digital download by iTunes. [39] The album's official cover was premiered through Us Weekly on August 18, 2010. [40] It was also released on vinyl LP on November 22, 2010.

The North American leg ended in New York City on November 22, 2011, with a total of 80 shows. [56] The tour extended into 2012 in Oceania. [57]

Critics have praised the tour with Billboard.com claiming that "Swift’s two-hour production was an overwhelming experience. There's an enormous amount of detail that worked to make the Speak Now Tour a sort of next step in country concert presentation....it blended the pacing, the music and the artist's personality in a way that transfixed." The Korean Focus Times praised it by saying, "Taylor Swift charms Korea in style, radiant...with pitch-perfect and sincere vocals. The dedication of the fans present was boundless, the cheers of the crowd were sometimes louder than the music itself." The New York Times claimed the tour "went off, as did every number, with clockwork professionalism and thousands of voices singing along and screaming between the lines. Ms. Swift, 22, is their superstar....her songs are taut, tuneful narratives." [58]

On August 10, 2011, Swift released a music video for "Sparks Fly", which featured clips taken from four different locations of the tour, which includes one from the show in Newark, New Jersey. The footage with the rain was captured during one of the summer shows in a stadium. [59] A live album of the tour was released on November 21, 2011. The DVD and Blu-ray included with the CD feature all seventeen song performances taken from the North American leg of the tour. [58]

Critical reception

Speak Now received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 77, based on 20 reviews. AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine commended Swift's mature lyrics and stated, "she writes from the perspective of the moment yet has the skill of a songwriter beyond her years". [5] Ann Powers of the Los Angeles Times wrote that "she makes memorable music by honing in on the tiny stuff: the half-notes in a hummed phrase, the lyrical images that communicate precisely what it’s like to feel uncomfortable, or disappointed, or happy". [63] Rudy Klapper of Sputnikmusic called it "the best pop record of the year". [31] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times called Speak Now a "bravura work of nontransparent transparency ... the most savage of her career, and also the most musically diverse. And it's excellent too, possibly her best". [68]

MSN Music's Robert Christgau said that, although the songs are "overlong and overworked", they "evince an effort that bears a remarkable resemblance to care—that is, to caring in the best, broadest, and most emotional sense". [60] Dave Heaton of PopMatters observed "a richer array of narratives and even more songs about that process of turning your life into a narrative". [29] Theon Weber of The Village Voice perceived Swift's songwriting strength as "not confessional, but dramatic" and stated "Like a procession of country songwriters before her, she creates characters and situations—some from life—and finds potent ways to describe them". [69] Weber described the album's songs as "iceberg songs" and elaborated on how Swift's talent grows "in proportion" to her artistic freedom:

In a mixed review, Allison Stewart of The Washington Post called the album "ridiculously entertaining [...] a lengthy, captivating exercise in woo-pitching, flame tending and score-settling", but found it "long: 14 wordy, stretched-thin, occasionally repetitive songs". [32] Slant Magazine's Jonathan Keefe found Swift's singing "technically poor" and her lyrics "generally lack[ing] the variety and sophistication of her compositions", which he called "expertly crafted pop music". [66]

Several music critics and publications included Speak Now in their year-end list. The album was ranked number thirteen on Rolling Stone ' s year-end best albums list for 2010. [70] About.com listed Speak Now as the best pop album of 2010, calling it "a highly personal, intimate musical document that pulls listeners in with both humor and grace". [71] Allison Stewart of The Washington Post named the album the tenth best of 2010, [72] and The New York Times' Jon Caramanica rank Speak Now number two in his top ten albums list, stating that "her songs are more diverse, her images more severe, her blade sharper." [73] Jim Malec of American Noise rank Speak Now number six on his Top 10 Country Music Albums of 2010 and named it the "most courageous" release of 2010. [74] PopMatters ranked it at number five on its list of the best country albums of 2010, [75] while The Boot ranked it at number two on its top ten country albums of the year. [76] In June 2012, the album was included in the "50 best female albums of all time" list by Rolling Stone, ranking at number forty-five. [77]

Aside from critic polls, the album was nominated in 2011 Juno Awards for International Album of the Year, losing to Katy Perry's Teenage Dream. It received nominations in 2011 Billboard Music Awards, including Top Billboard 200 Album and Top Country Album in 2011 Billboard Music Awards and won the latter. [78] Speak Now was nominated for Grammy Award for Best Country Album at the 2012 Grammy Awards and won the Best Country Solo Performance and Best Country Song for her song "Mean". [79] The album is also nominated for Album of the Year in Academy of Country Music Awards, [80] Country Music Association Awards, [81] and American Country Awards, [82] and won the favorite country album in American Music Awards of 2011. [83]

Speak Now has won 4 awards from 10 nominations.

The Speak Now Tour

The Speak Now Tour (2011-2012)

Long live the walls we crashed through…

It was the second era, and basically the time in which Taylor was cementing herself from a one-album artist into an international phenomenon. The Speak Now album itself was also a transition, where every song was made by Taylor herself and hidden gems that didn’t made it into the mainstream media became fan favorites that only a few people would know. It remains Taylor’s most ambitious tour as well, taking her to countries she had never been before in Asia and Europe. We also get a new member and musical director: the immensely talented David Cook .

This was also the first tour that I covered from start to finish, writing entries for every city and came up with the label of Inside Speak Now whenever I was giving out spoilers for people who had not seen the tour yet. I wrote two personal concert experiences plus a rare treat: Meeting the Agency!

• Inside Speak Now: The Montreal Experience
• Inside Speak Now Nashville: The Main Event
• Meeting The Agency

This tour also brought us the Arm Lyrics, surprise song covers usually relevant to the location where she was performing and duets with secret guests.

Speak Now World Tour – Live

Concert film | november 21, 2011, table of contents, background and release.

«I really wanted to make a DVD of this show because I felt this is a year of my life that I’m going to want to remember. Every single night I stand on that stage and it feels like it’s the best crowd of the tour every night. They are so loud and emotional and so passionate, and these crowds that we’ve played for this year have been unlike any crowd we’ve played for on any other tour, and this show has been different than anything we’ve ever put on. I want to look back on this years from now and show it to my kids and my grandkids.» Taylor Swift

Share All sharing options for: Gagarin Cup Preview: Atlant vs. Salavat Yulaev

Gagarin cup (khl) finals:  atlant moscow oblast vs. salavat yulaev ufa.

Much like the Elitserien Finals, we have a bit of an offense vs. defense match-up in this league Final.  While Ufa let their star top line of Alexander Radulov, Patrick Thoresen and Igor Grigorenko loose on the KHL's Western Conference, Mytischi played a more conservative style, relying on veterans such as former NHLers Jan Bulis, Oleg Petrov, and Jaroslav Obsut.  Just reaching the Finals is a testament to Atlant's disciplined style of play, as they had to knock off much more high profile teams from Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg to do so.  But while they did finish 8th in the league in points, they haven't seen the likes of Ufa, who finished 2nd. 

This series will be a challenge for the underdog, because unlike some of the other KHL teams, Ufa's top players are generally younger and in their prime.  Only Proshkin amongst regular blueliners is over 30, with the work being shared by Kirill Koltsov (28), Andrei Kuteikin (26), Miroslav Blatak (28), Maxim Kondratiev (28) and Dmitri Kalinin (30).  Oleg Tverdovsky hasn't played a lot in the playoffs to date.  Up front, while led by a fairly young top line (24-27), Ufa does have a lot of veterans in support roles:  Vyacheslav Kozlov , Viktor Kozlov , Vladimir Antipov, Sergei Zinovyev and Petr Schastlivy are all over 30.  In fact, the names of all their forwards are familiar to international and NHL fans:  Robert Nilsson , Alexander Svitov, Oleg Saprykin and Jakub Klepis round out the group, all former NHL players.

For Atlant, their veteran roster, with only one of their top six D under the age of 30 (and no top forwards under 30, either), this might be their one shot at a championship.  The team has never won either a Russian Superleague title or the Gagarin Cup, and for players like former NHLer Oleg Petrov, this is probably the last shot at the KHL's top prize.  The team got three extra days rest by winning their Conference Final in six games, and they probably needed to use it.  Atlant does have younger regulars on their roster, but they generally only play a few shifts per game, if that. 

The low event style of game for Atlant probably suits them well, but I don't know how they can manage to keep up against Ufa's speed, skill, and depth.  There is no advantage to be seen in goal, with Erik Ersberg and Konstantin Barulin posting almost identical numbers, and even in terms of recent playoff experience Ufa has them beat.  Luckily for Atlant, Ufa isn't that far away from the Moscow region, so travel shouldn't play a major role. 

I'm predicting that Ufa, winners of the last Superleague title back in 2008, will become the second team to win the Gagarin Cup, and will prevail in five games.  They have a seriously well built team that would honestly compete in the NHL.  They represent the potential of the league, while Atlant represents closer to the reality, as a team full of players who played themselves out of the NHL. 

• Atlant @ Ufa, Friday Apr 8 (3:00 PM CET/10:00 PM EST)
• Atlant @ Ufa, Sunday Apr 10 (1:00 PM CET/8:00 AM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Tuesday Apr 12 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Thursday Apr 14 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)

Games 5-7 are as yet unscheduled, but every second day is the KHL standard, so expect Game 5 to be on Saturday, like an early start.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
