Click here to start typing your text.Love Story" is a country pop song performed by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. The song was written by Swift and produced by Nathan Chapman, alongside Swift. It was released on September 12, 2008 by Big Machine Records, as the lead single from Swift's second studio album Fearless. The song was written about a love interest of Swift's who was not popular among Swift's family and friends. Because of the scenario, Swift related to the plot of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (1597) and used it as a source of inspiration to compose the song. However, she replaced Romeo and Juliet's original tragic conclusion with a happy ending.
It is a midtempo song with a dreamy tenor, while the melody continually
builds up. The lyrics have Swift narrating from the perspective of Juliet Capulet.
The song was a critical success with critics complimenting Swift's
writing style and the song's plot. It was also a commercial success,
selling over 6.5 million copies worldwide since January 2010, therefore
establishing itself among of the best-selling singles of all time. In the United States, the song peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold over 5 million digital downloads, becoming Swift's best-selling single to date. It was also deemed one of the best-selling singles in the United States and was once the best-selling country single of all time. The single was certified quintuple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America
(RIAA). Internationally, "Love Story" became Swift's first and only
number one single in Australia thus far and certified triple platinum by
the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).
The song's accompanying music video was directed by Trey Fanjoy, who directed all of Swift's prior videos. The video is a period piece that drew influences from Medieval, Renaissance, and Pride and Prejudice (1813) eras. It follows Swift and model Justin Gaston
as they meet in a university campus and imagine themselves in a prior
era. "Love Story" was promoted through numerous live performances. The
song was included on Swift's first and second headlining tours, the Fearless Tour (2009–10) and the Speak Now World Tour (2011), respectively; the song was used as the final performance on the latter. "Love Story" has been covered by several artists, including Joe McElderry and Forever the Sickest Kids.
[edit] Writing and inspiration
"Love Story" came along late into the production of Fearless.[2] Swift wrote "Love Story" about a male who was never officially her boyfriend. When she introduced him to her family and friends, they did not become fond of him.[3] "His situation was a little complicated, but I didn't care", said Swift.[4] Swift also felt like it was the first time she could relate to the plot of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (1597), one her favorite narratives, which she described as, "The only people who wanted them to be together were them."[3]
She conceived the idea for the song when she reflected about the
scenario: "I thought, 'This is difficult but it's real, it matters—it's
not simple or easy but it's real'." She then centered the song on the
line, which was ultimately placed in the "Love Story"'s second refrain.[5]
All events, with the exclusion of the end, narrated in the song
regarded Swift's actual story. The song's conclusion differed from that
of Romeo and Juliet. "I feel like they had such promise and they
were so crazy for each other. And if that had just gone a little bit
differently, it could have been the best love story ever told. And it is
one of the best love stories ever told, but it's a tragedy." Instead, she chose to write a happy ending.[6] She took her favorite characters and conceptualized the ending she believed they deserved.[7] She perceived it to be the ideal ending that females hoped for, including herself.[5]
"You want a guy who doesn’t care what anyone thinks, what anyone says."
Although it was fictional, Swift said it was an enjoyable experience to
write about.[4]
Swift wrote the track on her bedroom floor in approximately twenty
minutes, feeling too inspired to put the song down unfinished.[3]
Swift and her love interest continued their relationship, but then
went their separate ways because it was hard for them to see each other.[6] To Swift, the song resembles much optimism regarding love and how encountering the right person could surpass skepticism.[7]
She deemed "Love Story" one of her most romantic songs, although she
was never in an official relationship with the subject of the song.[3]
In retrospect, Swift said about the song, "It’s about a love that
you've got to hide because for whatever reason it wouldn't go over well.
I spun it in the direction of Romeo and Juliet. Our parents are
fighting. I relate to it more as a love that you cannot really elaborate
on — a love that maybe society wouldn't accept [or] maybe your friends
wouldn't accept."[8]
[edit] Recording
"Love Story" was recorded in March 2008 at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, alongside record producer Nathan Chapman and various personnel.[9] Chapman produced all but one song on Swift's 2006 eponymous debut album, Taylor Swift,[10] and co-produced all songs on Fearless.[1] Swift sang into an Avantone CV-12 multi-pattern tube microphone,
manufactured by Avant Electronics. The microphone had a new old stock
tube that was designed and built by country singer, record producer, and
audio engineer Ray Kennedy
for Chapman. Chapman had received the microphone from Kennedy as a
loan, as a "try this for a while" experiment. Although he previously had
tested numerous microphones on Swift, he was had not been able to find
one to match her voice match perfectly. When Swift came to Chapman's
home to record a radio edit for one of singles from Taylor Swift, she immediately grew fond of the microphone.[9]
"When she put on the headphones and said, 'Test,' completely
unprompted, she said, 'This is my mic. I love this mic. I just wanna use
this one from now on!' She had no idea what it was, just loved it, and I
went along with something that felt right for her. We've been using it
ever since, and it sounds great on her voice", Chapman said.[9]
"Love Story" was recorded with Pro Tools and tracking vocals, which Swift sang live with the band. The band consisted of acoustic guitars, bass guitars, and drums.[9] All other instruments were overdubbed by Chapman. He said, "I think there are nine acoustic guitars on that track, and I stacked several background vocals — me singing, 'Ah's'."[9] Audio engineering
was executed by Chad Carlson in Blackbird Studios' Studio D, with the
usage of the API Legacy Plus equipments: Avantone CV-12, Neve 1073, and
Tube-Tech CL-1B. Audio mixing
done by Justin Niebank and was set in Studio F, with the usage of the
console Solid State Logic 9080 K series and Genelec 1032 console. In
between, overdubs were executed in Studio E by Chapman.[9] "Love Story", along with the rest of the album, was mastered by Hank Williams at MasterMix Studios in Nashville, Tennessee.[1] The song was mixed for mainstream airplay by Chapman. He pulled Niebank's stems into his Mac OS laptop and used Apple Logic
to create the pop version. Chapman made mix tweaks and created new
elements with his laptop. In order to do so, he muted the country
instruments and replaced them with new elements characteristic to pop music, replacing banjo and fiddle with electric guitar.
The pop version's opening beat is a Logic loop in the Ultrabeat beat
generator. All the new electric guitars were done with the Amplitube
Stomp I/O.[9]
[edit] Composition
"Love Story" is a country pop song with a length of three minutes and fifty-four seconds.[11] It is set in common time and has a moderate tempo of 120 beats per minute.[12] It is written in the key of D major and Swift's vocals span one octave, from A3 to B4.[12] Swift croons "Love Story" softly and sweetly,[13][14] with a slight twang that defines the song to be country music.[15] It follows the chord progression D (add)9–Asus5–Bm–G69.[12] The song is of a swirling and dreamy tenor,[14] and is based upon a pop hook.[16] The melody is simple, containing a rushy pace which continually grows and concludes with a key change.[13]
The lyrics of "Love Story" are written in first person, in which Swift refers to herself as the Romeo and Juliet character Juliet Capulet and her love interest as Romeo Montague.[15] Fraser McAlpine of the BBC described the song as a narrative, in which Swift is the narrator.[13]
The song's plot revolves a youthful romance foiled by parental
disapproval. In the end, love prevails and the coupled find their
happily ever after.[14] The first verse introduces the characters at a ball, where they meet.[13] In the second verse, the story transitions to the couple sneaking about after dark[13] and references Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter (1850).[16] The song's refrains
have Swift waiting for her love interest to appear: "Romeo, take me
somewhere we can be alone/ I'll be waiting/ All there's left to do is
run."[15] The song's final refrain has Swift narrating from Romeo's perspective[17] and proposing marriage to Swift.[4]
[edit] Critical reception
Swift performing "Love Story" at a Sony Music press conference in 2010.
The song has been well received by music critics. Kate Kiefer of Paste magazine recognized the song to be Swift's best and added that once the lyrics are learned, it is impossible to not sing along.[18] Sean Dooley of About.com
credited the song for transitioning Swift from a "fresh-faced star to
crossover superstar". Dooley attributed the song's commercial success
due to her departure from her past lyrical themes, which summarized "I
wish this boy knew how I really felt about him”.[19] While reviewing Fearless, Dooley selected "Love Story" as one of the best tracks on the album.[20] Jonathan Keefe of Slant Magazine admired how Swift attempted to incorporate sophisticated elements, like Romeo and Juliet and The Scarlet Letter,
although it was not successful because of its awkwardness, inexplicable
nature, and pointless conceit. Keefe credited its success to its
prominent hook.[16] James Reed of The Boston Globe thought otherwise, stating Swift's charm was in her songwriting skills.[15]
Fraser McAlpine of the BBC stated, "'Love Story' is a stunning pop
song and, because it really does tell a love story, it's heart-warming
and draws the listener into the exciting and romantic fairytale world."[13]
However, she felt Swift's vocal performance was not incredible, but was
passionate to complement the song's sentiments. McAlpine resumed by
stating that "Love Story", although obvious, a bit dramatic, and
probably targeted towards younger audiences, was just lovely and that
Swift proved herself a true princess of pop with the song.[13] Chris Neal of Country Weekly called "Love Story" an "ebullient first hit."[21] Deborah Evans Price of Billboard
magazine gave the single a favorable review and called it an
"enchanting offering". Price noted that "Love Story" demonstrates one of
Swift's appeals, her writing and singing of age-appropriate material
that can be both relatble to her audience and others. As a result, she
predicted the song would have much commercial success in the country
music industry.[14] Alex Macpherson of United Kingdom magazine The Guardian described the song to be fueled by a "joyous rush" that, according to him, was later replicated by Swift's own single "Mine" (2010).[22]
[edit] Awards and nominations
At the 35th People's Choice Awards, "Love Story" was nominated for the People's Choice Award for "Favorite Country", but lost to Carrie Underwood's "Last Name" (2008).[23] The song was nominated for "Fave Song" at the Nickelodeon Australian Kids' Choice Awards 2009, but lost to The Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling" (2009)[24] and received the same outcome at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards, when it lost the nomination for "Choice Music: Love Song" to David Archuleta's "Crush" (2008).[25][26] In 2009, "Love Story" was declared the "Country Song of the Year" by Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI).[27]

[edit] Music video
The accompanying music video for "Love Story" was directed by Trey Fanjoy, who previously directed the videos for the singles from Taylor Swift.
Swift decided to collaborate with Fanjoy once again because she had
been able to balance both of their ideas for music videos, something
Swift appreciated deeply.[57] The video is a period piece that draws influence from Medieval, Renaissance, and Pride and Prejudice
(1813) eras. Swift had previously desired to film a period piece music
video because of its distinctiveness from modern videos and videos she
had filmed. However, she chose for the video to set in the time period,
for she envisioned it as such when writing the song and, therefore,
encoded visuals into it.[58] She believed "Love Story"'s plot was a timeless scenario: "I think it could happen in the 1700s, the 1800s, or 2008."[57] It influenced her to search for a timeless quality in demeanor of her love interest.[59]
With six months in advanced, Swift searched, through watching films,
for a countless actors to interpret the role. Someone who had been
watching the sixth season of the reality television series Nashville Star recommended contestant Justin Gaston. Swift then looked through his pictures and concluded he was suitable for the music video.[60] Gaston fulfilled the requirements Swift had set out, describing him as a "Prince Charming that could've been alive in the 1800s."[59] However, because Gaston was competing on Nashville Star,
he was unable to participate in the music video. Gaston was eventually
eliminated and Swift contacted him immediately to film the video.[57]
Swift was very impressed by Gaston's acting skills: "I was so impressed
by the way his [expressions] were in the video. Without even saying
anything, he would just do a certain glance and it really came across
well."[60]
A castle was chosen for the video's setting. Personnel researched
numerous castles in the United States and were unable to locate one in
sufficient condition for filming. They had considered traveling to
Europe to find a castle, but were then informed about a castle south of Nashville, Tennessee. Named Castle Gywnn, it was built in 1973 and chosen as the video's setting.[57]
Wardrobe for the video was supplied by Jacquard Fabrics, excluding
Swift's dress for the balcony scene. The dress was designed by Seanie
Speeka with inspiration and suggestions from Swift.[57][58]
"She loves to put her input in her dresses", stated Speeka. The two had
discussed the dress two months prior to the filming of the video.
Accentuates were made on the video set.[57]
The video was filmed in two days in August 2008 in Tennessee. On the
first day, the balcony and field scenes were shot. On the set, someone
had replaced the playback CD with a high-pitch, altered version of the song. As a result, Swift lent the crew her iPod to play the original track.[57]
While filming another scene, sunset was about to occur and, therefore,
the process was executed rather rapidly. For the scene, Fanjoy suggested
a kiss between Swift and Gaston, but Swift refused to because she
believed it would make for a sweeter moment. On the second day, scenes
at Cumberland University in Lebanon, Tennessee and at a ballroom were filmed.[61]
Swift learned the choreography for the latter in fifteen minutes prior
to filming. Approximately 20 dancers were used for the scene.[57]
The video commences with Swift, clothed by a black sweater and jeans,
walking through a university campus and spotting Gaston sitting under a
tree, reading a textbook. As they make eye contact, the video then
transitions to an earlier era, in castle, where Swift stands, wearing a
corset and gown, and performs in a balcony. After, Gaston enters a party
and sees Swift, wearing an elaborate gown, conversing with other
females. The two engage, along with others, engage in ballroom dancing.
After dancing, Gaston whispers into Swift's ear and Swift is then seen
pondering at night with a lantern. She meets with Gaston and the two
walk, hold hands, and feed a horse by a well. The two then go their
separate paths. Afterward, Swift stands in the balcony, looking out from
the a window. She sees Gaston running toward her and immediately runs
down the staircase. Swift and Gaston meet each other and hold each
other. The video then transcends back into modern-day as Gaston walks
toward Swift and they gaze into each others' eyes, where the video
concludes. Cut-scenes feature ballroom dancing and Swift performing in
the balcony setting.
[edit] Video reception
The video premiered on September 12, 2008 on CMT.[62] Mandi Bierly of Entertainment Weekly
was concerned about the video mark Swift's artistic evolution as an
artist because it made her believe something else in the artist had
altered. She, however, stated, "Worry though I might, I can’t resist
Taylor Swift’s evolution from 'Tim McGraw' (2006) to her latest, 'Love Story'." Bierly also compared Swift's acting with that of Keira Knightley.[63] Fraser McAlpine of BBC believed Swift played a princess in the video and, therefore, said it would make females envious.[13] The video was nominated for the "Video of the Year" category at the 45th Academy of Country Music Awards, but lost to Brad Paisley's "Waitin' on a Woman" (2008).[64][65] At the 2009 CMT Music Awards, the video won the CMT Music Awards for "Video of the Year" and "Female Video of the Year".[66] It also won the Country Music Association Award for "Music Video of the Year" at the 43rd Country Music Association Awards.[67] The video won "Favorite International Video" at the Philippine Myx Music Awards 2010.[68]
[edit] Live performances
Swift performing "Love Story" on the Fearless Tour.
When promoting the single in the United States in late 2008 and early 2009, Swift performed "Love Story" on the Good Morning America, The Late Show with David Letterman, The Ellen DeGeneres Show,[69] the 2008 Country Music Awards,[70] as a duet with English rock band Def Leppard on CMT Crossroads, the episode was released as a DVD exclusively through Wal-Mart stores in the United States,[71] Clear Channel Communications's Stripped,[72] Studio 330 Sessions,[73] and Saturday Night Live.[74] In the United Kingdom, Swift promoted the track during early 2009 with performances on television programs, such as Loose Women[75] and Later... with Jools Holland.[76] Since, Swift has performed the track twice on The Today Show,[77][78] at the 2009 CMA Music Festival,[79] the 2009 V Festival,[80] the Australian charity concert Sydney Sound Relief,[81] Dancing with the Stars,[82] and again on The Late Show with David Letterman.[83]
Swift performed "Love Story" on all venues of her first headlining concert tour, the Fearless Tour, which extended from April 2009 to June 2010. The performances begun with backup dancers, dressed in Victorian era clothing, dancing ballroom to Baroque composer Johann Pachelbel's "Pachelbel's Canon", as a castle backdrop was projected onto the stage.[84] Swift emerged to upper level of the stage, from below, donning a crimson, 18th century gown with a golden accents.[85] For the song's last refrain, Swift hid behind backup dancers as she changed her wardrobe to a white wedding dress.[86] Jon Pareles of The New York Times said Swift offered the audience with optimistic thinking with the performance in the August 27, 2009 concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City.[86] Reviewing the May 22, 2010 concert at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Canada, Jane Stevenson of The Toronto Sun stated the moment was far too girly for her liking.[87] "Love Story" served as the final performance on the setlist of Swift's second concert tour, the Speak Now World Tour (2011); the performances featured Swift roaming throughout the stage, wearing a white sundress.[88]
[edit] Cover versions and media usage
Kidz Bop Kids recorded a cover version of "Love Story" for the fifthteenth installment of Kidz Bop, released in 2009. Heather Phares of Allmusic denounced that the song had a melody strong enough to withstand the Kidz Bop
treatment and be kid-friendly, although having children singing lead
vocals did make the song less friendly to general audiences.[89] American pop band Forever the Sickest Kids covered "Love Story" for the 2009 deluxe edition of the debut studio album Underdog Alma Mater (2008).[90] English singer Joe McElderry, winner of the sixth series the United Kingdom talent competition The X Factor, performed a live cover of "Love Story" on The X Factor Tour in 2010[91] based on altered lyrics that Gabe Bondoc had introduced as the song being sung from the male (Romeo) perspective.[92] Gordon Smart of The Sun said the performance of "Love Story" on February 15, 2010 in Liverpool, England, at the Echo Arena "went down a storm."[91] "Love Story" was featured in the romantic comedy Letters to Juliet (2010), as well as its official trailer[93] and in the pilot of the television series Hart of Dixie (2011).[94]

work. The rarity of this work has made it largely unavailable to

Fragments: Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Study of Ancient & Medieval Pasts
Fragments, an
open-access and peer-reviewed journal is published by MPublishing, a
division of the University of Michigan Library. The journal's first
articles were published in July 2011. Fragments provides a forum for
dialogue and exchange between scholars in all fields of the humanities
and social sciences who study the premodern world. The journal
encourages scholars to pursue subjects of broad interest to colleagues
working in other places and times, and to pursue comparative and
connective approaches in investigating the past. The editors also invite
scholars to explore interdisciplinary approaches, such as those that
synthesize the insights of textual scholarship and archaeology, or
history and sociology. The broadest aim of Fragments is to transcend
fragmentation: to foster research that overflows the boundaries of
various well-established and vital traditions in order to generate new,
integrated ways of thinking about the premodern past.

The 105 letters in

years immediately before, during, and shortly after World War II.
Nathan and Johannna Rosenberg of Breisach, Germany, had three sons:
Julius (1900-1942), Eugen (1901-1964), and Alfred (1911-2005). Eugen
left for Palestine in 1935. Alfred, with his wife, her parents, and her
brother, immigrated to the United States in August 1938. Julius remained
in Germany with his parents and was murdered at Auschwitz in August
1942. The letters were written to Alfred by his brothers, his parents,
and other relatives between 1938 and 1946. Most of the letters are from
Julius and many of these he wrote from the labor camp in Gurs, France, to which all of the Jews in Breisach were deported in October 1940.

Successful Strategic Deception: A Case Study
This study concerns
the controversial case of Alger Hiss, who was suspected of spying for
Soviet Military Intelligence. It does not concern his guilt or innocence
but whether the U.S. Army Military Intelligence used an undercover
spy-catcher to penetrate Hiss's defense and to plant evidence forged to
secure his perjury conviction. If so, Hiss's conviction, which ushered
in the McCarthy era and thrust Richard Nixon to national prominence,
represents an alarming intrusion of our military into civil affairs.

A Mathematical Theory of Communication
by Claude E. Shannon
A Note on the Edition
Claude Shannon's ``A mathematical theory of communication'' was first
published in two parts in the July and October 1948 editions of the
Bell System Technical Journal [1].
The paper has appeared in a number of republications since:
- The original 1948 version was reproduced in the collection
Key Papers in the Development of Information Theory [2].
The paper also appears in Claude Elwood
Shannon: Collected Papers [3]. The
text of the latter is a reproduction from the Bell Telephone
System Technical Publications, a series of monographs by
engineers and scientists of the Bell System published in the
BSTJ and elsewhere. This version has correct section numbering
(the BSTJ version has two sections numbered 21), and as far as
we can tell, this is the only difference from the BSTJ version.
- Prefaced by Warren Weaver's introduction, ``Recent contributions
to the mathematical theory of communication,'' the paper was included
in The Mathematical Theory of Communication, published by the
University of Illinois Press
in 1949 [4]. The text in this book differs
from the original mainly in the following points:
- the title is changed to ``The mathematical theory of
communication'' and some sections have new headings,
- Appendix 4 is rewritten,
- the references to unpublished material have been updated to
refer to the published material.
The text we present here is based on the BSTJ version with a number
of corrections. (The version on this site before May 18th 1998 was based
on the University of Illinois
Press version.)
Here you can find a
PostScript (460 Kbytes),
gzipped PostScript (146 Kbytes) and
