Taylor Swift teamed up with The National for a new duet called ‘The Alcott’ about resurrecting an old relationship.
Taylor Swift may be in the midst of her biggest tour ever, but she’s continuing to bless us with new music. On April 28, her latest song, “The Alcott,” dropped on The National’s latest record, First Two Pages of Frankenstein. Taylor teams up with the band on the track, singing alongside Matt Beringer. The song tells the story of former lovers who have reunited at a place that meant something to them in their relationship. Upon reconnecting, they realize the feelings may still be there.
The track opens up with Matt singing about coming across his former lover at The Alcott. “There you are, sittin’ as usual, with your golden notebook, writing something about someone, who used to be me,” he croons. Taylor joins him in the chorus, which concludes with the lyric, “It’s the last thing you wanted, it’s the first thing I do, I tell you that I think I’m fallin’ back in love with you.
