I think that Lorde likes using metaphors and wordplay to sort of make her true meaning a little bit cryptic, though not entirely hidden. And it also helps that even liking this guy is not the entire point of the song, if that is what she's getting at. " So I think that it is possible that at this point she did find a way she enjoyed expressing feelings for a guy.
i don’t! i just haven’t found a way of doing it which is powerful and innovative, which is why i don’t. Her actual quote is, "i think somewhere along the line also there was a misquote where people got the impression i thought writing about love was shameful. just wording my thoughts, thought i'd submit for everyone else to see. i don't think she'd take the risk of writing a song about a boyfriend. lorde has said she doesn't like writing about love or boys because she doesn't think boys are a subject matter for songs. james seems like a very dear friend to her.Īside from that, people speculate and think that james is her boyfriend, but i don't think that's the case. she's young and a teenager, and your friends are one of the most important parts in your life as a teenager. i just feel like, due to the excess amount of pictures that james takes of her on his instagram, she would write about it. she didn't exactly say any names but i related that back to the lyrics 'i love these roads where the houses don't change' because essentially, that's what a suburb is. on his instagram (jamesklowe) there's pics of her drinking orange juice with him ('you buy me orange juice') and during a vevo lift session called "becoming lorde" she said, 'last summer we drove out to the suburb they're just finishing off i like funny places like that'. “This song is about New Zealand, my family, the past, the future.My Interpretationi think she wrote this song after her friend james. “I like that the album is bookended by two songs written solely by me,” Lorde wrote for Spotify’s “Storyline” feature. It feels like a glorious, thousand-year-old tree with branches spanning the beauty of family, growth, water and oxygen. “Oceanic Feeling” is a wondrous celebration of life, a perfect closer for this album because it doesn’t feign its optimism or its reverence for the topics it veers into. The opening lines skillfully set the scene of her accepting her song of the year Grammy from Carole King in 2014, which she pinpoints as the moment she knew things would never be the same. Comparing her on again off again relationship with fame to a romance, Lorde asserts she “don’t want that California love” over fittingly Western-sounding drums and guitar. This track gets to the heart of the album’s origins - it all started when she realized she needed to disappear from the spotlight for a while. This song clarifies the point in her life - an overwhelmed young pop star - at which she began the emotional growth journey explored throughout the album. “The Path” is a nice opener for this album, and answers some of the questions opened up by “Solar Power” when it was first released. Lorde Goes Blonde in 'Satirical' Video for New Song 'Mood Ring': Watch Even though its slightly shallow sound is always a little at risk of fading into the background, Solar Power‘s lead single serves as a fun, nourishing look into the emotional high points of the album. “Solar Power” makes a lot more sense now that it’s grounded by the added dimensions of all the other songs on the album. Lorde harmonizes with herself in stacked, crackling vocal lines - now a certified hallmark of her music - as she fantasizes about being a pop star in a post-apocalyptic society where most of the earth’s environment is unlivable. This track is a quick, just slightly confusing break from the world where most of the other songs on Solar Power take place. “I like that it sounds like how that summer sounded.” “You can hear a lot of sirens because there were a ton of protests that summer,” she wrote for Spotify. Recorded at Electric Lady Studios with the doors open, one cool feature of this track is that some of the ambient noises from outside fill up the background. “Dominoes” is a pretty little song, it’s just not the one you go back to again and again after hearing it for the first time.
