august Lyrics | folklore | Taylor Swift
About the Song: A Hazy Summer Memory
"august" is a dreamy, melancholic track from Taylor Swift's eighth studio album, folklore. Written by Swift and her long-time collaborator Jack Antonoff, the song stands out for its lush, layered production featuring reverb-heavy guitars and soft vocals, creating a hazy, nostalgic atmosphere. Lyrically, "august" tells the story of a short-lived summer affair from the perspective of an unnamed girl. It is the second song in the 'Teenage Love Triangle' fictional narrative on the album, which also includes "cardigan" and "betty." The song perfectly captures the feeling of looking back on a romance that was intense and real for one person, but ultimately fleeting and unowned—encapsulated in the line, "'Cause you were never mine."The Teenage Love Triangle
One of the most celebrated aspects of the folklore album is the interconnected story told across three songs:"cardigan": Told from the perspective of Betty, looking back on her relationship with James.
"august": Told from the perspective of the unnamed 'other woman', reminiscing about her summer affair with James.
"betty": Told from the perspective of a 17-year-old James, as he apologizes to Betty for his summer mistake.This narrative device was praised by critics for its depth and clever songwriting, showcasing Swift's prowess as a fictional storyteller.Creative Collaboration
The lush sound of "august" was crafted by Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff. While much of folklore was made with Aaron Dessner, Swift continued her fruitful partnership with Antonoff on several tracks, including this one. Antonoff's production gives the song its signature dream-pop quality, distinguishing it from the more folk-oriented tracks on the album.
