Bunny is here again i keep finding u XD

Someone is egocentric up above 🥱 it's best to never @ those accounts in comments

Ive noticed lorde is a wondetful lyricalist

@@stardolphin783 and I keep finding you haha 😁 Hello again! 😊

She is a great lyricist, but this isn't a good example of it lol

i love it. i think it’s pretty easy to make light of the movement she’s talking about for the reasons she stated. but to have the wherewithal to understand the reasoning behind the movement and then assuaging the people behind it is genius (no pun intended lol)

Ikr??? It's mindblowing

lmao hey girl i see you copying one of the top comment of the moon ring music video how you doin'

you copied this comment from @infuriated scrunchie

You stole this comment from someone that wrote it in her original video from moon ring…

with no backing or anything too! She is amazing

is it just me or did she improve A LOT. like i remember some awful pure heroine live performances. but she also uses almost no pitch correction or voice effects on the new album to begin with. that's why she sounds so much like the studio version.

@@arceonxy exactly

she kinda sings in cursive but it works so well

it might not be very powerful but its one of the most expressive and unique voices

@Instagram User lol. No, you don't.

@Instagram User I see that you’re dissing genius, and that’s never a good thing. Genius makes way better content than you!

It’s crazy because she definitely had enough great songs from her first two albums to make it to Genius, but they only get to her now lol

I know! They don't really seem to get many BIG celebrities and sometimes those are the ones that's I'd really like to get inside about their songs

Because she has gone full commercial round. She can deny it how much she wants but it's obvious. She went on 2 talk shows, on hot ones and now genius.

oh yes!!! true! that culture super-problematic!!

Sorry im kinda dumb but can you tell me how travelling to other countries and get to know their culture is problematic?

@@ehabebrahem2793 I think it’s the way they do it. Going to other countries and getting to know their culture is great if you’re respectful (and not going during a pandemic), but when you use your privilege and exploit them it’s extremely problematic because you’re disregarding the consequences of what you’re doing (using them like a toy instead of respecting the country, people, and culture).

@@ehabebrahem2793 for example, foreigners can buy properties and own businesses profiting off from the culture in the area. So, the indigenous people can't have lands in strategic places since they're less privileged (white ppl's currencies always have more value) and the land owner (though indigenous) doesn't have much choice bc foreigners have more money. Vacation and all that are good, but that vile practice is commonly found in the tropical Eastern that relies heavily on tourism.

Thank u for enlighten me

I'm pretty sure her lyrics went over the critics heads.

@@rodrigovelasquez9854 They didn't even understand that Mood Ring is a satiric song.

It getting better everytime is a TRUE FACT. VERIFIED 😌.

THIS! The critics had such a literal and shallow view of the record that it seems like they missed the whole message of the album. Oceanic Feeling and Fallen Fruit are easily in the Top 10 of best Lorde songs. Hope this album will get a second chance in the future.

Hard agree with how the album gets better every time you listen to it, for example I wasn’t a huge fan of oceanic feeling at first but today I went outside for a walk and it came on and it just rlly hit me. Solar power is definitely an album that will grow on people with time

yes!! i've always thought of lorde more as a lyricist than a "songwriter," which I know isn't really fair because the melodies and sound production are always superb, but in Solar Power she really shines as a lyricist/poet

Would be pretty silly to do a poetry book when she could make more money singing the poems instead

@@9G0D I get what you're saying but there is probably a lot of poetry she has written which hasn't been published for a multitude of reasons you could speculate on (?). So, idk, I think its still possible. She sometimes hints at stuff like it in her fans newsletters:) also, a poetry anthology was just a random idea. I guess I just want more of her artistic work in other forms ahha

@@helenli7302 yess definitely!

I think she is deemed as gifted when she was just a child? Perfection at its finest✨

They know it’s satire but the problem that people have is it doesn’t come across that way. It sounds like she’s being serious and not satirical

I don't get why fans can't co-exist with other people's opinions

@@paddy2460 seems pretty obvious to me, like she said the way she sings it sounds really eerie and off-putting at times

It honestly never crossed my mind that it was satire until watching this entire explanation video. I don’t think it came out as she intended it to. I like the song, tho

@@vi6ilanteshit well if lorde had made it that obvious that it was satire, it wouldn't have been a good satirical song in my opinion. the best satire songs are the ones that make you feel like this isn't right, and then you lean into the psychology of it and realize that the singer doesn't believe it themselves, and that the initial feeling you had was the point of the song.

ik i’m in shock it’s so good

@@samarneson9475 seriously i’m glad she returned and i hope we don’t have too wait long for another project

Just say yourself instead of "we" please.

@@snoozyq9576 oh no, you especially.

Always assumed she said “let’s fly somewhere instead” which is just as well honestly😂

@@vim92 I laughed so hard at your reply to Celeste that I choked. Thank you for this gift.

When I heard that line for the first time, as an east-asian woman, I did think, “I mean yes, we do have all the answers” lol but now watching this video it makes so much more sense (english isn’t my first language, the satire easily went over my head)

same

I second that .

bc im so depressed i was brainwashed into it. im the butt of her song.

@@Me-dj2sz if you relate to the character she’s making fun of i think you kind of deserve it😭 these people hate the cultures they take from, they are shallow humans who don’t know anything but privilege. She’s not making fun of people who partake in wellness culture she’s making fun of the racist white ladies who hated indian food until they found out that turmeric was good for you.

Thats the point

@@katybreen2939 yes, i figured so

I love that soul cleansing aura detoxing stuff. People may make fun but it's much more helpful than a lot of coping mechanisms I see around me these days

@@snoozyq9576 yeah, i love it too. it’s helped me a ton. lorde is just singing about people who use spirituality as a bandaid on their bullet holes, i was so worried when i first saw this vid bc i thought she was making fun of spirituality in general, and got sad, but then realized that is definitely not what she is trying to imply

She has been singing since childhood though

Ash being relatable as usual

@@palpol1528 I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT 👏 (looking forward to her reaction 🙏👀)

This isnt shade but dont yearn to wanting to be someone else, find yourself and make your mark!!!

Just came back from watching her reaction and Mood Ring is her fave lol 👑

@@ririschannelx Who spit in your Cheerios omfg

@@ririschannelx to make a difference and use art as a platform you have to be clever in the way you approach a subject and talk about it, wich is exactly what she is doing. maybe she could've explored more of this in the album, but I definitely think she is doing it the right way!

@@ririschannelx Kay keep telling yourself you're clever lmao.

@@ririschannelx It’s satire, how can you not get it?

But the song is still bad

Somos el mejor país de chile

It's funny because here in NZ we find your kind of accent mesmerizing ☺️

​@@snoozyq9576I wish I had a NZ accent, I'm from America 😭

wait what did gweneth do 🤨

@@non_conformist4229 We know…

@@non_conformist4229 what part of the comment "Lorde is literally making fun of [weird cultural appropriating capitalist white lady]" makes you think OP isn't aware of the satire?

@@non_conformist4229 it's like responding to a comment saying "this is incredible satire" with "um? this is satire"

@@non_conformist4229 is that y u deleted ur comment? 😂😂😂😂such a clown

Yeah I mean if nothing else that's clearly a joke. "oh I have no idea how I feel unless I look at this piece of jewelry." How can a person actually believe she thinks that?

I don't think everyone was.

CelebGLives I agree.I think it turned out exactly the way she wanted it to.

@@stevebailey508 the thing is that I’m super excited to see where she goes from here musically

People will have their opinions. It's fine. People don't have to all like things

She's famous for a reason 😉

What’s satire?

@@mr.peebody-_-1643 ikr i mean like hows this song a satire?? Can somebody explain to us

@@pvvlred3672 To put it simply, it’s kinda like making fun of something by ironically doing/being/talking like whatever it is you’re making fun of

@@pvvlred3672 it's a satire because instead of lorde herself actually endorsing and engaging in wellness culture, it's giving the perspective of a character that she created who does and creating a commentary on how that affects the people who do engage in wellness culture and how it can be harmful. it's satirical because the song isn't serious and true to lorde's experience, but it does have a commentary.

@@vadalee6301 Thank you. But how can that be harmful

Absolutely agree it's the best song in the album

The fear is great!

agreed

Thank you so much for saying this XD

Well it's not exactly hidden

ikr like people actually do this rn it’s funny

Love and light are good things. People are so negative lol

@@snoozyq9576 right. But JUST SAYING love and light is different then NEVER SAYING IT, and actually giving the world love and light. And usually they are mutually exclusive. Edit: the saying and the doing, I mean.

lmao but like gleaning wisdom I don't understand how it's problematic...(?)

@@popqueen24x7 orientalism is used disparagingly to refer to the allegedly simplistic, stereotyped, and demeaning conceptions of Arab and Asian cultures generally held by Western scholars. It is all connected with the west dehumanizing our communities and a way to take control over it and it has roots with imperialism and colonialism.. i wish i would be able to explain this more but i am not the best to do so but if you are really interested more in that then check out Edward’s Said book called “orientalism” it is the most important book in that subject matter

@@popqueen24x7 It’s not problematic at all. Lorde’s wrong about that. It’s just everyone from everywhere, regardless of their culture, are trying to figure things out same as you. So you probably won’t get enlightened from any one particular culture. In my experience , wisdom comes from individuals and from developing as you age, if you’re open to growing your character. It doesn’t come from just going to a specific place. But it’s not problematic if you do actually do that, not in the way I think Lorde means it, like it’s offensive or anything. It’s not.

@@jeweld.282 it dilutes the individual cultures of each of the asian countries into an easily palatable, aesthetically pleasing, commodified version for people that lack culture to feel like they have a purpose. you know not what you speak of, clearly.

Slay intellectual arab, love you eb

@TEK i live in a tropical country thats popular for its beach resorts and what not. The tourists would always litter and throw their trash on the sand or on the shore. Most souvenirs are made by child laborers or tour guides are often minors pushed to work to survive. Some tourists also go here for prostitution, minors sadly get involved or trafficked for that purpose. I mean, the govt is at fault for failing to regulate these things, but tourists do take advantage of the low rates and the poverty here.
