This song is the third track on the album "Fearless" by Taylor Swift. The music video of this song was uploaded on Youtube on June 16, 2009 (you can check this out on the below). The video commences with Swift, clothed by a black sweater and jeans, walking through a university campus and spotting Gaston sitting under a tree, reading a textbook. As they make eye contact, the video then transitions to an earlier era, in an seemingly 18th century castle (though the castle was built in 1973), where Swift stands, wearing a corset and gown, and performs in a balcony. After, Gaston enters a party and sees Swift, wearing an elaborate gown, conversing with other females. The two, along with others, engage in ballroom dancing. After dancing, Gaston whispers into Swift's ear and Swift is then seen pondering at night with a lantern. She meets with Gaston and the two walk, hold hands, and feed a horse by a well. The two then go their separate paths. Afterward, Swift stands in the balcony, looking out from the a window. She sees Gaston running toward her and immediately runs down the staircase. Swift and Gaston meet each other and hold each other. The video then transcends back into modern-day as Gaston walks toward Swift and they gaze into each other's eyes, where the video concludes. Cut-scenes feature ballroom dancing and Swift performing in the balcony setting (Wikipedia).

Overall the song is about the love story of two lovers who do not get the blessing from her parents. But their love story is very touching. From the lyrics of songs we can clearly see their love journey. Starting from their meeting while still young, her eyes staring at the man. The woman looked at the man from balcony in summer air. See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns, see you make your way through the crowd, and say, "Hello". The man such as Romeo and Juliet such as woman. The woman was sad because it was forbidden by her father to relate to Romeo. The woman wanted to live together with Romeo, live together and live happily. Romeo is the prince and Juliet is the princess. We can see how the woman struggles to meet the man. She was willing to sneak across the garden to meet the man.

In reality it is often the case in real life. The love relationship often do not get the blessing of parents. Parents sometimes do not approve of their child's love for a reason. They would impose their will without regard to the feelings of the love that their kids have Maybe not of all, but there are still some parents who still interfere in their children's relationships. But if you look at the struggle of two lovers in the song lyrics, we will be a little touched. We can see the courage of the women in the fight for love. It is also common. Not just a man who could do that, a woman is also capable of doing that.

From the musical instruments, the song was cool to hear. Country music genre that is typical of Swift. This song is also a famous song in 2009. Honestly, I love this song. The song has a good music and good lyrics. Heard this song is suitable for people who are fighting for relationships. Ok, just look at the music video and lyrics of this song, check it out guys ;)


The Lyrics of Love Story by Taylor Swift
 
We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, "Hello, "
Little did I know...

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said...

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".

So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while.
Oh, oh.

'Cause you were Romeo - I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
But you were everything to me,
I was begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said...

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".

Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult but it's real.
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".

Oh, oh, oh.

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said...

Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think.
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said...

Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.
I love you, and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad - go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
