Grammy predictions

Just for fun, I thought I’d try my hand at predicting the outcome on the 2013 Grammy Awards which will air this Sunday evening on CBS.

Songwriters like Taylor Swift have big talent

As one of many writers for hire out there, I’m always fascinated by the talent of today’s musical artists that also write their own material.

One such amazing young lady is Taylor Swift.

For such a young woman, she is mature beyond her years in how she conducts hersalf as well as her ability to write amazing lyrical content.

And considering the Grammys just took place last night, I thought I’d take the opportunity to highlight a few of her lyrics form the song “Long Live” below, hope you enjoy it.

“Long live all the mountains we moved 
I had the time of my life with you 
Long, long live the walls we crashed through 
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you 
I was screaming long live all the magic we made 
And bring on all the pretenders 
I’m not afraid 
Long live all the mountains we moved 
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you 
I was screaming long live the look on your face 
And bring on all the pretenders 
One day we will be remembered”
