Today I’m analyzing “Peter” by Taylor Swift from The Tortured Poets Department. We explore its 3/4 waltz feel, evolving chord progressions in C major, and detailed melodic development built on descending thirds and signature leaps.
The song stands out through its narrative depth, using references to Peter Pan to build a consistent metaphor, while balancing multiple hook-like sections instead of a traditional chorus.
