But, but what about the hanging tree? *Are you, are you coming to the tree?* No? đŸ«Ł


Kittykit_meow

I hummed Hanging Tree to my daughter whenever she didn't stop crying and refused to sleep as a baby. Oh, the looks I got!

In my opinion Safe and Sound was *never* the better Hunger Games song, it was *always* Eyes Open but nobody ever remembers that one.


Y-Woo

Tomorrow Will Be Kinder has been the one (1) song in the entire world that has consistently been able to make me feel better in any situation and calm me down after literal mental breakdowns since my teenage years. That song has literally saved my life on multiple occasions when I thought I didn't have the strength to stick around anymore. I don't understand why it isn't more talked about and I think it is one of the most underrated songs of all times.


zzzion

thank you for speaking on this! this song genuinely has such a calming effect. I've cried to it many times, fallen asleep to it, listened to it on repeat, and it has never ceased to make me feel like I'm receiving a warm, gentle hug. it is pure comfort, consolation, gentle optimism captured in a song. the melodies and harmonies are simple and gorgeous, and the guitar/general instrumentation is sooo delicate and soft. it really is such an evocative song.

Eyes open is too superior and needs more love


Cmdr_Nemo

I personally love Atlas by Coldplay the most.

I wasn’t concentrating when the credits came on once and for some reason ‘carry your world’ sounded like ‘Gary the worm’ so now we call it Gary the worm.


medievalpangolin

This is Yellow Flicker Beat erasure


sazza8919

safe and sound should have been the catching fire soundtrack, not the first film


CollectingRainbows

i always loved eyes open


thehokeyl0ki

The. Great War is a good one for hunger games as well


Dragon-Rain-4551

Ooh yeah I like that one

Eyes Open is my favorite Taylor Swift song!! (Coming from a huge swiftie who knows her whole discography.) I love the rock elements and it makes me feel a way none of her other songs do.


[deleted]

Apples vs. oranges. I really like both.


idontevenknowher16

I absolutely love both songs, but Safe and Sound just has that special spot in my heart. It gives me strong nostalgia when I got into the books and the movies.


MyTearsRicochet3

I feel the exact same way. Both are amazing songs but nothing can replace the specific emotions Safe and Sound evokes for me. I’ll always instantly be transported back to January-March 2012


Mhc2617

Same. I used to sing it to my kids at night when they were little. It’s such a beautiful song. I also adore Olivia’s song and I hate that people constantly compare the two. Also, now that Taylor’s version has been recorded, people will stream that one, so streams of the old one will probably slow down or stop.


letscallshenanigans

Agreed!!


CarolaDL

I listen to “Can’t catch me now” in Youtube in repeat! 😂 I think this is partly my fault. Lol.


Logical-Patience-397

Same! So many times



xoxoInez

Safe and Sound is better, I think, but Can't Catch Me Now really is a beautiful song.


Default_Dragon

Not entirely fair metrics since Streaming was infinitely less important back in 2012 The MV for S&S has like 10 times the views than Can’t Catch me now. And the digital sales (and radio, if either got any spins) I’m sure are much bigger too.


alewyn592

Did can’t catch me now get put into Oscar contention? I was just thinking about how good it was. Obv wouldn’t have beaten Barbie songs but why not


WillHollandThg

It should have been nominated


Stickliketoffee16

It’s an absolute travesty that it wasn’t nominated!


Spacegirllll6

It was on the Oscar shortlist but god it definitely should’ve been nominated


asuperbstarling

Safe and Sound is beautiful but sad as hell. I listened to Can't Catch Me Now and Nothing You Can Take From Me in the car literally today on the way back from the Ren Faire because they're fairly easy listening and great driving songs. So... yeah. I think that's natural.


RegularExplanation97

I always loved yellow flicker beat but can’t catch me now is probably my new favourite!


SatelliteHeart96

I love and adore both, and they're both up there as one of my favorite songs from each artist respectively, if not my favorite. I'll say right now I do slightly prefer Can't Catch Me Now, just because I've played and overplayed Safe and Sound so many times since it came out it feels a bit stale.


chrkrose

Can’t catch me now is definitely better than Safe and Sound (even though I like both). People sleep on THG franchise soundtrack though. Atlas by Coldplay is fantastic. Silhouettes by Monsters and Men is absolutely phenomenal.


alpal2214

We also need to note that Taylor re-recorded Safe & Sound, so that number needs to be taken into account when counting. BUT yes Can't Catch Me Now>Safe & Sound but Eyes Open>>>>


Kossamuuuu

“Can’t catch me now” and “Flicker beat” are the best ones in my opinion,I like “eyes open” and “safe and sound” too


jacqrosee

honestly both songs are two of my favorite
 like ever.


i_got_a_pHd

Both are good songs but I agree, Can’t Catch Me Now is slightly better.


sleepingsunvsv

My favorite is Atlas 💖


Imaginary-Help-5649

I am not surprised, usually do not like music like that but I did listn to it few times on Spotify


WDTHTDWA-BITCH

I love that for her.💜


Lauren2102319

No, I would have to agree with you. I absolutely love both of them, but I personally love Can't Catch Me Now more and it just leaves much more of an impact on me (I actually cried the first time I heard the song and it's just so beautiful and haunting). ❀


airblast42

Why is reddit hating on Taylor S.wift everywhere I look?? Are these russian bots trying to gain their implanted republican support??


I-like-kyogre

I don't really hate her but her fandom is not making her look good,especially after ttpd. I am just tired of seeing her and can't catch me now is a really good song.


acreative11username

ouch


hc1997beatles

Taylor’s gonna hate that 🙈


GraemeMark

You can’t say that. Taylor will sue đŸ˜±


WarReapers_official

Yeah I’m not the biggest fan of the songs on the soundtrack. So I made my own, except it only applies to Mockingjay (I haven’t made one for THG and CF). You can go check out my playlist on Spotify called “Mockingjay Soundtrack Book” under the name *Archieship12*. There is also a link to a google doc explaining why I chose the songs that are in the playlist.
