Could Taylor Swift's 'All Too Well' be an answer song to an old Don Henley hit? Allow us a moment of fan-theory indulgence on two pop classics
, in the summer of 1989 , climbed the charts as a single in early 1990, and continued to pop up on car radios and tape decks for years to come. The song begins with Henley’s narrator being rudely reminded of a memory he thought he’d moved past: “I got the call today, I didn’t want to hear.” Right away, the wistful cadence of those lines recalls Taylor’s “I walked through the door with you, the air was cold.” We’re in familiar territory here, a shared universe of bruised feelings.
Henley wonders “how I lost me, and you lost you”; Swift admits, “I’d like to be my old self again, but I’m still trying to find it.” Henley’s narrator stumbles eloquently toward some kind of understanding in the chorus: “I think it’s about forgiveness.” Taylor knows that’s not how any of this works.
