This song is the second track on the album "Fearless" by Taylor Swift. The music video of this song was uploaded on Youtube on November 23, 2009 (you can check this out on the below). The video begins with Swift, barefoot and clad in a white sundress, approaching a tall, arched doorway which materializes in the middle of a barren landscape. Swift looks at a photograph of herself and her friend tucked into the arch and, then, passes through the doors. On the other side of the arch, animated flowers and vines grow across the scenes. People and objects from a high school fade in and out of view. Swift walks through the memories and begins to play an acoustic guitar beneath a tree. Afterward, Anderson appears, sitting at a desk before a chalkboard in the field of flowers. Swift sits down beside her and two begin to whisper and laugh to each other. In the next scene, Swift plays guitar while Anderson goes on her first date; she kisses her date, but pushes him away when he tries to go further. Her love interest and all surroundings dissolve to show Anderson sitting alone on a stone bench. Swift approaches her and hugs her tightly as the field around them turns dark and stormy. The video then alternates between Swift singing in the rain and hugging her friend. After the landscape deteriorates, the video transitions to reality, where Swift, wearing a black trench coat, stands in the rain, across the street from a high school. Swift then sees a student at the entrance; the two make eye contact and the video concludes (Wikipedia).

Overall this song tells about the the days that experienced by a person when was fifteen. Many important stories that happened at that age. From the lyrics of the song, we can see clearly the stories experienced by a person who is described by Swift on this song. The stories that are often experienced by a fifteen-year-old clearly illustrated in this song. Starting from the moment the story of falling in love for the first time, recognize friends, feel disappointment, and other things. But overall this song tells about the problems of love experienced by a fifteen-year-old.

Fifteen years is an age which certainly we've been through as we grow older. Fifteen is the age at which we begin to learn the meaning of life. This age is an age that is important for a person to learn about surrounding, learn to know others, learn to solve problems on their own, and learn to love. I think there is a particular reason why Swift uses fifteen years on the theme song. I think there are special moments experienced by Swift at the age of fifteen years.

From the musical instruments, the song is the same as the other songs on the album "Fearless", still using the country genre. I pretty like this song. The song is pretty easy to listen to. This song is recommended for adolescents aged fifteen years so that they are better prepared to face the problems that are ready to confront. The song is also nice to be heard while studying or as a lullaby. Ok, just look at the music video and lyrics of this song, check it out guys ;)
 

The Lyrics of Fifteen by Taylor Swift

You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors
It's the morning of your very first day
You say "Hi" to your friends you ain't seen in a while
Try and stay out of everybody's way
It's your freshman year and you're gonna be here
For the next four years in this town
Hoping one of those senior boys will wink at you and say,
"You know I haven't seen you around before."

'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen
Feeling like there's nothing to figure out
Well count to ten, take it in
This is life before you know who you're gonna be
Fifteen

You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail
And soon enough you're best friends
Laughing at the other girls who think they're so cool
We'll be out of here as soon as we can
And then you're on your very first date and he's got a car
And you're feeling like flying
And you're momma's waiting up and you think he's the one
And you're dancing 'round your room when the night ends
When the night ends

'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
When you're fifteen and your first kiss
Makes your head spin round but
In your life you'll do things greater than dating the boy of the football team
But I didn't know it at fifteen

When all you wanted was to be wanted
Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now
Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday
But I realized some bigger dreams of mine

And Abigail gave everything she had to a boy
Who changed his mind and we both cried

'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen, don't forget to look before you fall
I've found that time can heal most anything
And you just might find who you're supposed to be
I didn't know who I was supposed to be at fifteen

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

Your very first day
Take a deep breath, girl
Take a deep breath as you walk through the doors.
