[...] Again, information technology's her vulnerability and willingness to reveal her battle scars that make this lyric on the Best Taylor Swift 'Cerise' Lyrics list so palpable and brilliant".[ix] Dukes placed information technology as the third track on Blood-red's best lyrics list, behind "All Too Well" and the championship rails, respectively.[9] Billboard magazine affirmed that unlike most tracks from Red which find Swift lamenting on the end of relationships, "Begin Once more" talks about "finding hope at the stop of that tumultuous period".[10] According to the publication, the vocalizer's vocals are on a "breathy, girlish vocal" tone and is reminiscent of her contributions to The Hunger Games soundtrack.[10]

Music video [edit]

Synopsis [edit]

The video starts with Swift continuing on a bridge while pensively gazing beyond the h2o and remembering a lost love. She then takes a walk along the Île de la Cité in Paris,[ citation needed ] wearing a Carmine dress with white flower appliques and blueish peep toes and sits beside the river Seine. The video draws comparing to that of singer Adele's music video "Someone Like You" and Swift'south own "Back to December" (simply much happier).[26]

Swift then rides a bicycle, wearing a blueish and white floral skirt with white cat flats with sun glasses on and bikes downwardly a Asphalt street. She goes shopping and tries on new dress, which is spliced with shots of Swift singing to a man (Vladimir Perrin). In a flashback, she recalls her showtime meeting with the man at a café while sipping cappuccino. He starts taking snapshots of her with his Leica M6. They and so take a biting-sugariness conversation, laughing and giggling at each other. The following clips shows Swift sitting at a park and sampling pastries. It also shows Swift walking by the Seine. The clip ends with the two walking adjacent, every bit Swift allows herself to "begin again."

Divergence from lyrics [edit]

Directed by Philip Andelman and produced by Arthur Cantin,[27] the story in the video deviates from the vocal'south lyrical narrative in several respects. While the lyrics recount the narrator'due south (Swift) trepidation of a outset date later a bad breakup, the video instead relates a run a risk meeting in a cafe in Paris. In the video, Swift is seated at a booth, doodling in a small notebook when a Frenchman at some other tabular array takes interest and introduces himself. Missing from the video are the Swift's initial moments in the cafe, where her appointment has arrived early to wait for her, greets her, and then helps her into her chair, displaying kindness and respect that was apparently absent from her one-time relationship. Late in the song, the eating place see draws to a conclusion while the couple walks to Swift's auto.

The vocal lyrics describe a touching moment when Swift feels an urge to talk virtually her previous human relationship, but before she tin, her date starts describing his family unit'due south Christmas movie watching tradition. Information technology is the pivotal moment in "Begin Once more", where Swift realizes she is no longer bound to her old relationship, "And for the first time, what'south past is by". In the video, instead of a clear end to the date, Swift is shown walking her wheel alongside her new friend down a cobblestone road. The couple apparently is not walking to her motorcar equally described in the song lyrics, as she walks with her wheel. In the video, information technology is articulate that Swift is feeling dear for her new friend, while the song lyrics exit it to the listener to determine whether Swift is finding dearest in her new friend, or is more generally reclaiming her ability to love through the experience of this appointment.

Reception [edit]

Entertainment Weekly thought the video was "another archetype bittersweet Swift joint," writing: "Though her young man doesn't express mirth at her jokes and bores her with stories about his family'due south Christmas moving-picture show-watching traditions, she finds the ultimate salve: Wandering through the streets of Paris, chuckling with handsome dudes in a café (and probably snacking on snails or something). It's a lovely clip, merely a footling bit sleepy. Also, at that place's something about it that recalls 'Back to December' — is it the color palette, or just the general moodiness?".[28] [29] To date, the video has over 190 one thousand thousand views on YouTube.
