Wounded lovers, largely in agony depicted delightfully. As Taylor Swift and Zayn take out their frustration on their respective hotel rooms in the final act of this epic. The song & video sit nicely with narrative of the movie Fifty Shades Darker.
Taylor Swift is gifted in her depiction of the emotional suffering she’s feeling as sings “Wondering if I dodged a bullet / or just lost the love of my life.” Perfectly capturing the intense anguish of the situation.Zayn is really growing as a quiet force in the industry. Finding his voice literally. You can just feel him growing into the role of a solo artist.
His presence is undeniable and his emotional charged words really catch fire as he croons “Behind these four walls, hoping you’d call, it’s just a cruel existence / like there’s no point hoping at all.” Delivered with impressive depth making you feel the heart ache.
This is a real deal power ballad. A perfect hook up has given us a smouldering sensation. With this kind of heartache “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever”RATING (3/4): 😎😎😎
