Ronan - Instrumental
Taylor credited Maya Thompson (Ronan’s mom) with co-writing Ronan. Taylor has followed her blog, and you can see the similarities with the lyrics and her blog.
Blog:
You know the look you gave me, after you were first placed in my arms after being born. I saw the way your eyes sparkled only at me and the way your little mouth curled up into a smile, minutes after being born. We had an instant secret. As if you had been waiting for me for such a very long time and I for you. It was our secret club that nobody else knew about.
Lyrics:
I remember your blue eyes, looking into mine like we had our own secret club.
Blog:
The nurse taking care of Ronan patted me around 3:20 a.m. Ronan was ready to leave. I said to her, “Is he gone?” She replied, “Almost.” I grabbed on to my baby boy, whispered in his ear that I loved him, but it was time to go so he needed to come with me. I kept saying, “Come with me, Ronan. Let’s get out of here.” The nurse went to get Woody and when he got to the room, he kissed Ronan goodbye and that was that. His little heart just stopped.
Lyrics:
I remember the last day when I kissed your face and whispered in your ear
Come on baby with me, we’re gonna fly away from here
Blog:
Your clothes are still in your drawers, your closet is filled with all the things you never even got to wear. The hand me downs from your brothers, in bins in your closet.
Lyrics:
What if I’m standing in your closet trying to talk to you
What if I kept the hand-me-downs you won’t grow into
Blog:
Wishing for time to be reversed. I remember everything about this time last year. Everything from the text messages I sent, the phone conversations I had on the patio, to way you told me you loved me to the moon and back.
Lyrics:
I love you to the moon and back
Video:
Lyrics:
I remember you dancing before bedtime
Blog:
Ronan. I drive home. Alone. In the silence. With your blanket on my lap and your ashes around my neck. Blinded by my tears. I know what I am coming home to. An empty house.
Lyrics:
I remember the drive home when the blind hope turned to crying and screaming why
Blog:
I’d totally let you be Hanky the Christmas Poo for Halloween. Actually, I’d let you be Hanky everyday if that is what you wanted, if you were still here
Lyrics:
And it’s about to be Halloween
You could be anything you wanted if you were still here
Ronan - Taylor Swift ft. Ronan
I love you to the Moon and back.
Taylor Swift with Maya Thompson, Ronan’s mother
“Taylor Swift truly is the girl with a heart of gold. Maya met Taylor on the Speak Now World Tour. Taylor made a special request to meet Maya, and invited her to the concert. Taylor had been reading Maya’s blog, RockstarRonan.com, for the past year. Maya watched as tears poured down Taylor’s cheeks as she told Maya that Ronan was the most beautiful boy that she had ever seen and how she was so sorry. The two spent time together before her concert talking about Ronan and the lack of childhood cancer awareness. We know Taylor has now chosen to speak up and support this issue and we secretly think she wears purple all of the time just for Ronan. Taylor is angel on earth, and we know Ronan’s story has touched her in such a way that she will continue to fight with us.”
“I remember your barefeet down the hallway,
I remember your little laugh.
Race cars on the kitchen floor, plastic dinosaurs,
I love you to the moon and back.”
I wonder if Taylor first heard about Ronan through Jake, or that article…
The post that talks about Jake Gyllenhaal on Ronan’s moms blog is titled “I love him to the moon and back.”
my mom and I donated a combined 113 dollars to Stand Up To Cancer tonight :’)
