#wayne warner

I found this song co-written by Taylor Swift and Wayne Warner in August 2005. He talks about writing it in his book Backstage Nashville. She also appeared in his music video for "God Bless The Children" in February 2006.

Lyrics:

Life’s up, life’s down That’s the song it sings And the thunderin’ And the troubled clouds Your love reached out And took me in A candle in the wind It won’t burn out

See, the time that you understand My world is well when I hold your hand

In the middle of the light Oh, you take me there Like an answered prayer In the darkness of the night In the middle of the light Drown away our cares With the love we share In the river of your life We’ll live in rain ‘till sun shines through ‘Cause I’m with you I’m in the middle Yeah, the middle of the light

Your embrace That’s the place that I wanna go When my world gets cold You make it bright And your face That’s the place where heaven shows It takes us both It makes it right

Since I’ve met you I understand My world is well when I hold your hand

In the middle of the light Oh, you take me there Like an answered prayer In the darkness of the night In the middle of the light Drown away our cares With the love we share In the river of your life We’ll live in rain ‘till sun shines through ‘Cause I’m with you I’m in the middle Yeah, the middle of the light

In the middle of the light Oh, you take me there Like an answered prayer In the darkness of the night In the middle of the light Drown away our cares With the love we share In the river of your life We’ll live in rain ‘till sun shines through ‘Cause I’m with you

Wayne was a guard at the Warner Lot, back in the 1930s. It's still unknown to this day if he was meant to be, in addition to being a blatant mockery of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, a prototype Warner. But given his calm demeanor and reluctance for costumes & the stage, it isn't known.

He's documented as a cop on the Lot, and seen as an Employee of The Month at least twice, with his main job being to keep the Tunes from getting up in arms with the other guards and vice versa. Several other Tunes that were of prominent name, back in those days and today though are kept anonymous for branding purposes and to prevent lawsuits, referred to him as a "house tune".

What is known, though, is that he played a part in the capture of the Warner Siblings. And later, is killed with the crime against him being swept under the rug. His actions, of course, led him to Hell.

And, of course, my Helluverse version of him.
