Taylor Swift - Anti-hero (1984 Single) | Deven Das 80's Remix

My #1980's Stadium rock inspired rendition of "Anti-hero" by Taylor Swift

Being a huge fan of the original's retro aesthetics and vintage soundscapes, I was inspired to take It further and incorporate some of my favourite rock 80s sounds. Whilst paying respect to the original, I opted for more impactful drums and energetic guitar work.

All credit for the original composition and lyrics belong to #taylorswift and Jack Antonoff. If you enjoy this remix, please support the original artist by streaming or purchasing her music.

This does actually sound like it could be from the 80s and the MTV VJs would love her

[eduardogomez]

Man, this should be an official version! I'm sharing with everyone I know

[jakubkowalczyk]

Mate, 3 years was too long of a wait!

[riyagahlot]

This is soooo good. REALLY
Cant stop listening to it.

[zuanidrys]

This should be one of the official remix rather than the ones she released. I'd totally buy this!!!

[AndNoted]

See? Exactly what I was talking about. You made another fire track! Good additions without being convoluted. Perfectly matched in melody and timed pickups and breakdowns. You have so much style. Keep it up!

Here are the lyrics to this song

I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser
Midnights become my afternoons
When my depression works the graveyard shift
All of the people I've ghosted stand there in the room
I should not be left to my own devices
They come with prices and vices
I end up in crisis (tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day I'll watch as you're leaving
'Cause you got tired of my scheming
(For the last time)
It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me
At tea time, everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
And I'm a monster on the hill
Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city
Pierced through the heart, but never killed
Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism
Like some kind of congressman? (Tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day I'll watch as you're leaving
And life will lose all its meaning
(For the last time)
It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me (I'm the problem, it's me)
At tea time, everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
I have this dream my daughter in-law kills me for the money
She thinks I left them in the will
The family gathers 'round and reads it and then someone screams out
"She's laughing up at us from hell"
It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me
It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me
It's me, hi, everybody agrees, everybody agrees
It's me, hi (hi), I'm the problem, it's me (I'm the problem, it's me)
At tea (tea) time (time), everybody agrees (everybody agrees)
I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

[robrandtoul]

Hands down, better than the original. Fantastic work.

[lellepad]

I would LOVE to see what you can do with HAIM’s catalog! These are bops!

[mattmartinek]

This is the best remix version of this song out there. And I def. prefer it to the original. That bass guitar line and those guitars make it sound like Def Leppard is Taylor's backing band, which is amazing. I hope Taylor gets a chance to hear this at some point, cuz I guarantee it will be her favorite version as well! Thank you for doing this!

[federicorossi]

Absolutely brilliant retro wave work.
In my mind I'm watching credits from some 80's movie...❤

[wafflestomper]

You gotta spread this around on social media or something this shit is wildly good.

[Taylor-iogd]

Subscribed immediately. You really have such a talent. Wow. Thank you for sharing ❤

[paul]

Magic, best remix. Needs more views. 👌

[StickWorldSeries]

Guess who’s back, back again, Devens back, tell a friend

[charlatao_jogo]

Great work, finally a taylor swift song worth listening

[ratter]

I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror these words ring so true to myself.

[lndra_enjoyerpuntocom]

Thanks for your work! Fantastic re-imagination of Anti-hero. Could you pls do Bejeweled 80's too?

[thomasrosendahl]

The original song already had some late 80s vibes, but this version is also great.

[bananabanana]

If she was an artist in the eightee's she would still be one of the most heard artists.
