The Brothers Grimm (German: Brüder Grimm or Die Gebrüder Grimm), Jakob Grimm (January 4, 1785 – September 20, 1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (February 24, 1786 – December 16, 1859), were German academics, linguists, cultural researchers, and authors who together collected folklore. They are among the most well-known storytellers of European folk tales, and their work popularized such stories as "Cinderella", "The Frog Prince" (Der Froschkönig), "Hansel and Gretel" (Hänsel und Gretel), "Rapunzel", "Rumpelstiltskin" (Rumpelstilzchen), and "Snow White" (Schneewittchen). Their first collection of folk tales, Children's and Household Tales (Kinder- und Hausmärchen), was published in 1812.
The brothers spent their formative years first in the German town of Hanau and then in Steinau. Their father's death in 1796, about a decade into their lives, caused great poverty for the family and affected the brothers for many years. They attended the University of Marburg where historian and jurist Friedrich von Savigny spurred their interest in philology and Germanic studies—a field in which they are now considered pioneers—and at the same time developed a curiosity for folklore, which grew into a life-long dedication to collecting German folk tales.
Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter and occasional actress. Raised in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, Swift moved to Nashville, Tennessee at the age of fourteen to pursue a career in country music. She signed to the independent label Big Machine Records and became the youngest songwriter ever hired by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house. The release of Swift's self-titled debut album in 2006 established her as a country music star. "Our Song", her third single, made her the youngest sole writer and singer of a number one song on the country chart. She received a Best New Artist nomination at the 50th Grammy Awards.
Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in late 2008. Buoyed by the chart success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", Fearless attracted a crossover audience and became the top-selling album of 2009. The record won four Grammy Awards, with Swift becoming the youngest ever Album of the Year winner. Fearless also received Album of the Year plaudits at the American Music Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards and Country Music Association Awards, making it the most awarded album in country music history. In 2010, Swift released her third album, Speak Now, which sold over one million copies in its first week. She then embarked on the 111-date Speak Now World Tour, which was attended by over 1.6 million fans and has become one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time. The album's third single, "Mean", won two Grammy Awards for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance. Swift is currently recording her fourth studio album, due for release in the fall of 2012.
Be my fantasy,
Holding back nothing.
Are we agreed?
(What this is for?)
Be my fantasy,
Be my everything.
We don't need,
Anything more.
THERE YOU GO AGAIN!
YOU LEFT ME IN THIS HELL WITH YOUR LIES!
GOT NOTHING TO SAY!
(What this is for?)
I can't STAND THE LOOK IN YOUR EYES
LETS GET REAL TONIGHT
I WANT YOU OUT OF MY LIFE
'Cuz you keep insisting
That I've been wishing up for your demise
Now look who's wearing the disguise
What a beautiful lie.
Your Armour's clean
But the battle line's been torn
Been trying so hard to cover up,
The score.
Just take a look at me.
Just take a look at me.
It's been too long.
Remember what you told me.
Be my fantasy,
Holding back, nothing.
Are we agreed?
(What this is for?)
Be my fantasy,
Be my everything.
We don't need,
Anything more.
Be my fantasy,
Holding back nothing.
Are we agreed?
(What this is for?)
Be my fantasy,
Be my everything.
We don't need,
Anything more.
YOU'RE NO GOOD FOR ME!
ALWAYS PLAYING GAMES WITH MY MIND!
DO YOU ENJOY THE SIGHT?
CAN YOU LOOK AT ME AND SAY WHAT WE HAD WAS NEVER ANYTHING
I NEED YOU OUT OF MY LIFE
THESE SCARS WILL HEAL WITH TIME
'Cuz you left me,
In the dark,
And I've been walking for a thousand miles.
'Cuz if you're losing hope, just take a look at me.
And I've got nobody to thank but you
So let me just,
Fuck you.
You've always been the spark that kept us burning down
To the ground
Just take a look at me.
