Today I’m analyzing Taylor Swift’s “Tolerate It” from Evermore, focusing on how its unusual 5/4 time signature, restrained melodies, and harmonic choices support the song’s emotional distance. We look closely at chord function, melodic rests, internal rhyme, alliteration, and lyrical development — and what songwriters can learn from how tension, perspective, and meaning evolve without changing the core progression.
