(Tilted Page) Official Sparks Fly (Music Video)

"The song 'Sparks Fly' is about falling for someone that you maybe shouldn't fall for, but you can't stop yourself because there's such a connection, there's such chemistry."

The song doesn't try to explain itself. It drops straight into the feeling through rain, sparks, and desire that rises before there's any time to think. It sounds like it was written by someone who was actually there.

Taylor wrote this song at sixteen, but nothing about it sounds young. The feeling it describes is something everyone knows—the pull toward someone you probably shouldn't follow, and the inability to stop yourself anyway.

Sparks Fly became one of the loudest moments of the Speak Now World Tour because it gave everyone in the room permission to go back to their own version of that feeling. The window of time when everything seemed possible and nothing could slow you down.

The way you move is

like a full on rainstorm

Strange enough to remember, and accurate enough to feel true. He moves through her life the way a storm does—fast,

heavy, and soaking everything before she knows what happened.
