Does anyone think she can score another top ten with "Eyes Open"? It'll be available for a full week (instead of just a few days like "Safe & Sound") and the movie comes out that weekend. Maybe S&S can rebound in a big way as well.

Maybe S&S can rebound in a big way as well. That would be amazing. I'm dying to hear this new song. I kind of hope it's in the same vain as S&S. It's nice to hear songs from Taylor that you wouldn't expect to hear on her studio albums (unlike TWAFT, which is an alright song, but nothing really out of the ordinary for her). Also, this is just wishful thinking because I really don't know the chances, but I really hope S&S will be nominated for an Golden Globe and/or an Oscar next year. How amazing would it be for Taylor and the Civil Wars to play together at the Academy Awards?

^It's not. Here's what Taylor said about "Eyes Open" in EW...
"It's more frantic and fast-paced, a completely different shade of music. I wrote it about Katniss' relationship with the Capitol. It basically serves as a warning for her not to trust anyone -- in many ways, the opposite of 'Safe & Sound'."
Since S&S is part of the actual score as well, it'll be eligible for a Golden Globe, but I don't think it'll be eligible for an Oscar. The rule is it has to play in the film within a minute of the start of the credits. But I think it might be after that. That's why Madonna's song won the GG, but wasn't even eligible for an Oscar.
Btw, Taylor's performing Live w/Kelly on the 23rd. I'm hoping for 'Eyes Open', since it won't be with the Civil Wars.

I read somewhere that it plays during the credits, but after another song. It's not really a big deal, just seems like a stupid rule for the Academy to impose (maybe they'll change it after having only 2 nominees this year).
I'm happy the song will be different from Safe & Sound. Need it to hold me over until the first single from her album is released.

Actually we know nothing bout Taylor Swift's Live With Kelly Appearance on March 23rd.RUMOR has it is a performance.Don't spread lies,people. Fr 3/23: Taylor Swift, Dwayne Johnson, Rebecca Romijn, guest co-host Jerry O'Connell www.interbridge.com/lineups.htmlFor all we know,This could be a late promotional push for "The Lorax".At the moment we Swifties don't know what the appearance is for.NOTHING IS CONFIRMED AT THE MOMENT. In Asia,"The Hunger Games" Soundtrack will be out on the 15th.I'm sure "Eyes Open" will make it's way to the net that week. Other Taylor TV Appearances- The Punk'd Episode will air on the 29th of March. "Safe & Sound" does need help on the charts.The song is in the bottom half of the Billboard Hot 100.The MTV First promotion helped it get back on the charts. EDIT- Billboard Music Money Makers 2012 #1 Taylor Swift $35,719,902 After wrapping the final leg of her Fearless tour, Taylor Swift's blockbuster success two years ago left music industry observers wondering what she could possibly do for an encore. The pop-country superstar answered them with her smash Speak Now album and accompanying tour, which jetted through Asia and Europe in addition to making its way across North America. Grossing $88.5 million in the U.S. alone, the tour netted Swift a remarkable $29.8 million. Honored as Billboard's Woman of the Year in December, she racked up U.S. album sales of 1.8 million units last year-led by booming business for late 2010's Speak Now, which sold 967,000 units and digital single track sales of 7.8 million. Songwriting royalties were another highly beneficial source of income, given that Swift wrote all 14 Speak Now tunes herself. www.billboard.com/news/top-40-money-makers-2012-1006415552.story#/news/music-s-top-40-money-makers-2012-1006415552.story?page=5

It sounds very nice.Can't wait to hear the full song. :) Certainly doesn't sound like "Safe & Sound" :o I'm really looking forward to hearing it. With "Ours" at #5 on Hot Country Songs, the Speak Now era is almost over. :'( New lead single this summer, please?

Not really feeling the clip(s), but I'm sure I'll like it once I hear the full song. Seems like it fleshes out as it goes along.

Yeah, not a big fan of the clips but I'll reserve judgment until I hear the full thing.

Basically, EPIC lyrics. This is the tributes going into the arena scene in the book. I thought Taylor said it was about Katniss' rebelling against the capitol.

Happy to report that after listening to the full song, I quite like it. I prefer S&S but this is great too. The lyrics fit the book/movie extraordinarily well.

This is a fun song to fit the Soundtrack. I like it a lot. I prefer "Safe & Sound," but this one sounds like it would have fit on Speak Now.

I like it, especially the bridge. But I don't really get some sites saying it's some huge departure for her. She's done pop-rock, guitar-heavy songs before.

I actually really like Eyes Open. It fits the movie very well. This is much better than Haunted and BTR (sorry, I know many love those two, but they were big messes for me, especially BTR)
Safe & Sound is still the much better song, but overall, I think she did good for both songs on this soundtrack :)
