I&#8217;m worried another artist could come along and ruin the tune&#8217;s appeal.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p id=\"par-1_54\">Music about fame can be a tough sell because it can just make people feel jealous of their favorite artists. However, \u201cI Can Do It with a Broken Heart\u201d by Taylor Swift absolutely speaks to most people where they live. I\u2019m just worried that another artist could come along and ruin the tune\u2019s appeal.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-taylor-swift-s-i-can-do-it-with-a-broken-heart-is-about-a-universal-experience\">Taylor Swift\u2019s \u2018I Can Do It With a Broken Heart\u2019 is about a universal experience<\/h2>\n<p id=\"par-2_54\">Many stars have released hits about being famous. David Bowie gave us \u201cFame,\u201d Lady Gaga gave us \u201cPaparazzi,\u201d and Miley Cyrus rocked out with the <em>Hannah Montana<\/em> theme song \u201cThe Best of Both Worlds.\u201d Even if you love those songs, they don\u2019t exactly hit home. They don\u2019t speak to the lives of everyday people.<\/p>\n<p id=\"par-3_83\">While \u201cI Can Do It With a Broken Heart\u201d is a song about Swift slaying during <em>The Eras Tour<\/em>, it still speaks to most people\u2019s experience. Whether you are a pop star, a doctor, a lawyer, a plumber, or a middle schooler, we\u2019ve all had to do our job with a smile while feeling down. Even while the \u201cLove Story\u201d singer is at the top of the world, she is still writing songs that could help the little people get through our struggles.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"emb-1\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Taylor Swift - I Can Do It With A Broken Heart (Official Video)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Sl6en1NPTYM?feature=oembed\" width=\"1320\" height=\"743\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-taylor-swift-was-right-to-make-the-song-sound-a-little-mechanical\">Taylor Swift was right to make the song sound a little mechanical<\/h2>\n<p id=\"par-4_75\">Of course, a song about this topic could very easily sound like a dirge. However, Swift decided to make it sound like an upbeat new wave song from the 1980s. This was a great move on her part. Firstly, the song\u2019s soundscape is going to make anyone who\u2019s having a bad day feel a little better. If the instrumental sounded like a \u201cBreathe Me\u201d-era Sia ballad, it might be too painful to offer anyone solace.<\/p>\n<p id=\"par-5_76\">On top of that, there\u2019s something a bit mechanical and calculated about the beat. When people have to put on a happy face and do their job in difficult circumstances, they often become automatons for a while. \u201cI Can Do It With a Broken Heart\u201d sounds like it could play over the scenes of downtrodden workers from Giorgio Moroder\u2019s version of <em>Metropolis <\/em>\u2014 and that\u2019s a good thing. It would give them a reason to dance.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"emb-2\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sia - Breathe Me\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ghPcYqn0p4Y?feature=oembed\" width=\"1320\" height=\"990\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-how-i-can-do-it-with-a-broken-heart-could-be-ruined\">How \u2018I Can Do It With a Broken Heart\u2019 could be ruined<\/h2>\n<p id=\"par-6_69\">\u201cI Can Do It With a Broken Heart\u201d was a pretty big hit, even by Swift\u2019s standards. The track reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, lasting on the chart for 31 weeks so far. \u201cI Can Do It with a Broken Heart\u201d appeared on the album <em>The Tortured Poets Department<\/em>. That record peaked at No. 1 for 17 weeks and lasted on the chart for 44 weeks.<\/p>\n<p id=\"par-7_76\">A lot of pop songs that have dark themes inspire sad, downbeat covers. Perhaps the most famous of those covers is Calum Scott\u2019s butchering of Robyn\u2019s \u201cDancing on My Own.\u201d It\u2019s probably only a matter of time before a notable artist turns \u201cI Can Do It With a Broken Heart\u201d into a melancholy ballad. The last thing we need is a version of the track that removes all of the interesting contrast in the original song.<\/p>\n<p id=\"par-8_30\">\u201cI Can Do It With a Broken Heart\u201d is a great song \u2014 and it\u2019ll be interesting to see if it sticks around as one of Swift\u2019s more popular songs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taylor Swift&#8217;s &#8220;I Can Do It With a Broken Heart&#8221; is simultaneously about a universal experience and The Eras Tour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":38206,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38205","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-taylor-swifts"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
