E4: Deep Dive: “Wonderland” from 1989

Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-m7wee-... Going Down the Rabbit Hole. Today we’re doing a deep dive on Taylor Swift’s song, “Wonderland,” from the album 1989. This episode builds on Episode 3 focused on Taylor Swift’s lyrical influences from the book “Alice in Wonderland.” In this episode, we explore whether the Cheshire Cat is calming or creepy; if New York City really is “Wonderland”; How Taylor Swift’s music, lyrics, and album branding are often at odds with one another; and how this song seems to reference “A Tale of Two Cities” and “The Great Gatsby” all at the same time.    Mentioned in the episode:  “Wonderland,” written by Taylor Swift, Max Martin, Shellback 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll Alice in Wonderland, 1951 Disney Film Alice in Wonderland, 2010 Tim Burton Film “A Tale of Two Cities,” by Charles Dickens “The Great Gatsby,” by F.
