"Now the cherry black lipstick's gathering dust in a drawer. I don't need that anymore" *cries in pure heroine*

She's managing to build a specific and cohesive sound, not rushing to release albums every year. That's the type of artistry that speaks volumes to me and I adore her for that. Grateful to live the same era as LORDE. 😭💙

Lorde said that this is her favorite song of solar power so i am really excited to hear this one

This song feels like healing, like the very beginning of healing, where you still have your bandages you take off to clean everyday and place new ones, where it aches when you sleep but there’s hope, it’s still painful but it’s progress and it’s, hopeful. It’s an interesting feeling and it’s wonderful in a sense and it’s looking towards the future and it doesn’t seem so scary

If you're high, please listen to the instruments. Every verse has it's theme. This is crazy production.

'Now the cherry black lipstick's gathering dust in a drawer' 'I don't need that anymore' She literally means the PH era of her black lipstick is gone and now she's ready for the SOLAR POWER!!🌟💛🌟💛

i hate summer but if Lorde loves it, so do i

This shit lowkey going crazy, I’m a rap guy but this shit accidentally started playing on Apple Music and I was with it

It takes several listens to most of the songs on the album to really appreciate them.

That part when she speaks to her little brother... God, I fall into tears. I moved on with my boyfriend so far away from home, I remember my brother crying layin in my bed, saying that he loves me and that he doesn't want me to go. He is so closed. So serious all the time, he is only 15,oh baby boy, life is hard. I hope you don't suffer like me. Things will be alright. That song is... So good.

This song is already so important to me. Ella mentioning her father and brother and kind of just free-styling over this beat accompanied by moments of guitar is beautiful. It’s hypnotic really. The switch of melodies in between are just insane. And when she says can you hear the cicadas I almost cried it’s such a raw moment full of bliss.

i was at the bus goin to uni when i listen to pure heroine, Melodrama was at the subway remembering i was so immersed by the beats, now SP, I wish i was at the beach with this one but its just me on my bed with my headphones staring at my yellow nightlight pretending its the sun.

the flow in this song is oceanic feeling

Lorde's made my blue days disappear All these harmonies in the album they're so beautiful...

fav track of the album. Everything about this song screams coolness, especially the drums pattern urgh so good

Its so amazing to see her go from Realism (Pure Heroine) to Romantism(Melodrama) to like a spiritual connection( Solar Power )

2017: "you wanted something that we offer" (sober II) 2021: "grateful for this offering" (oceanic feeling)

The final part is so epic

Absolutely PERFECT ending to Solar Power. We love you, Lorde.

This song connects to The Path so smoothly though, as if this song symbolizes the setting sun while The Path symbolizes the sun rising, the start of a new era for Lorde. A masterpiece.

This feels like I’m at the top of a grassy hill blowing in the breeze softly breathing and the wind carrying it into the green valleys swirling around the ears of cows and sheep. This is such a light feeling… this song is insane…

One of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard

At first I was nervous cause of how long it was but I’m OBSESSED with it

When I first listened to SP, despite liking all of the songs, I didn’t have any particular love for Oceanic Feeling. I was a little disappointed, because Lorde said it was her favourite, and we all know her album outros are always amazing. But as the days passed, as I listened more and more to the album, while walking, on the bus, reading, and more, as those days turned into weeks: I find that this song has seeped into the corners of my life. I hear the verses as I go about my day, I find myself humming to it, or internally grooving to that addictive shuffle beat. It’s an incredible song, like a package of nostalgia, hope, love, healing, yearning, musing and more all in one. I love its ebb and flow, so much like the waves and so true to its title. It really makes me FEEL. This is a brilliant song, and has dethroned some favourites to make it into my top 5 Lorde songs👏🏻

Lorde fans who are back here you can say it this is the masterpiece of solar power, such beautiful melody and lyrics like we've never seen before

it’s so fucking stunning and genuinely one of her most beautiful I genuinely think it captures a feeling as deep and complex as even Ribs does

"O, was enlightenment found? No, but I’m trying..." Such a powerful line and my favorite, sums up all the album I would say...A effort to find enlightenment (solar power)

SOLAR POWER FOR ALBUM OF THE YEAR!!!!

Oh god the cicadas are such an important part of this album like they just pull the album together

This sounds like a peaceful conclusion, like saying goodbye to your younger self and moving on to whatever future holds for you... I'm fascinated by all these sounds ✨

"oh look! the rays are in the bay now. can you here the waves and the cicadas all around?" WHAT A BEAUTIFUL IMAGERY.

"Now the cherry black lipstick's gathering dust in a drawer. I don't need her anymore. 'Cause I've got this power." I'm growing up in the Lorde generation. Pure Heroine, Melodrama & Solar Power are the chapters of my life.

The perfect conclusion to the perfect album. Thank you Lorde.

This song hits different when I'm walking around my grandparents' yard, imagining all the fun memories I've had in the past, like playing hide-and-seek in the trees when I was small. And thinking about everything that has changed, like the trees that have been cut down and the garden that is gone; my grandfather not having the energy to tend it anymore. I imagine my mom growing up at this house, and the lives of the people who lived here before them. And then I remember that one day, this house won't be in our family anymore, and even later, probably long after I'm gone, the house won't exist at all. This is truly a wondrous song. It feels like getting picked up in the waves of time, catching a glimpse into the past and future, and then being deposited back where I started. One of my favorites from the album.

TE AMO LORDE! gracias por la nueva música

The ending lyrics "I know you'll show me how, I'll know when it's time, to take of my robes and enter the choir" get me every single time. I know Lorde writes her lyrics very intently with very specific meaning to her, but personally this speaks to me so deeply as an expression of trust in life, going where it takes you, and accepting that your time here is temporary. I guess you could say I've coopted it to that end for myself. There's just something so beautiful about it. One day we'll all pass on and enter the choir of everything that surrounds us but isn't us, not physically here as ourselves anymore but still very much present and lasting in the difference we made and those we love.

i m grateful for this offering from LORDE herself

"Oceanic Feeling" Lorde [Intro] It's a blue day We could jump Bulli When I hit that water When it holds me I think about my father Doin' the same thing When he was a boy When he was a boy It's a blue day We could go fishing You'll catch the big one Ah [Verse 1] Slidin' the knife under the skin Grateful for this offering And all the livin' things under the sun Under the sun [Verse 2] Little brother, I think you're an angel I see your silver chain levitate When you're kickflipping Baby boy, you're super cool I know you're scared, so was I But all will be revealed in time (Time, time) [Verse 3] Oh, look, the rays are in the bay now Can you hear the waves and the cicadas all around? I can make anything real Rays so hot, it's a summer body Every day is blue and never cloudy Don't look down I can make anything real [Verse 4] In the future If I have a daughter Will she have my waist? Or my widow's peak? My dreamer's disposition or my wicked streak? [Verse 5] Will she split a dab with her lover? Laugh with the stars like her mother When she was a girl? When she was a girl [Refrain] Now the cherry black lipstick's gathering dust in a drawer I don't need her anymore 'Cause I got this power I just had to breathe (Breathe out, breathe out, breathe out) And tune in (Tune in, tune in, tune in, tune in) I just had to breathe (Breathe out, breathe out, breathe out) And tune in (Tune in, tune in, tune in, tune in) I just had to breathe And tune in I just had to breathe And tune in I just had to breathe [Outro: Lorde & Marlon Williams] Oh, was enlightenment found? No, but I'm tryin', takin' it one year at a time Oh, oh, can you hear the sound? It's shimmerin' higher On the beach I'm buildin' a pyre (Used the wood brought in by the tide) I know you'll show me how I'll know when it's time to take off my robes and step into the choir

in my opinion this is the most deeply personal song Lorde has written

¿Estamos de acuerdo con que, LORDE ha compuesto uno de los discos más puros y celestiales que se hayan hecho jamás?

This is Lorde's best album for me. Very interesting in terms of all she did with the musical arrangement in every song, other than just the more unique melodies and substance of the lyrics.

Omg, so original. Lorde is so fucking creative. She is really good.

Possibly Lorde's best ever song

Was in a boat and listened to this song and it was literally heaven

Hearing her sing with Marlon is so beautiful, and so interesting hearing her voice paired with a males voice.

Lorde worked magic with this song. If you listen to it several times, it suddenly clicks with you and makes you feel a hundred positive things at once; the composition and the production is stellar.

WHY NOBODY TALKS ABOUT THE AMAZING INSTRUMENTAL ?!? IT'S LIKE A ISLAND PARADISE AND I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW IT FITS THE ALBUM AND THE LYRICS ! DAMN...

When she says, “When I hit that water, when it holds me, I think about my father” that really hit me hard

This song feels like kayaking alone on a summer evening, when the sun is just about to set. Like you're on an open lake, surrounded by trees with cicadas clicking, animals scurrying around, and the ripples eddying from your kayak. The sky is clear and the soft breeze is all that is carrying you forward. I love this so much

this is the one. Adore the last minute of this song the most.

"Now the cherry-black lipstick’s gathering dust in a drawer I don’t need her anymore Cause I got this power Just had to breathe out And tune in" this lyric hit so deep. i feel like in the era i grew up in and listening to lorde, the "aesthetic" at the given time was so full of angst and darkness. at that time i was dealing with debilitating mental illness amongst other less than ideal things and found so much false confidence in external looks when on the inside i had no self esteem whatsoever. nothing is wrong at all with a darker aesthetic by any means, but i understand what she means by finding power in "looking powerful". As we all step into adulthood, I think we are all finding the most powerful thing you can do is heal yourself. love the album :-)

Album of the year sounds like

The way she starts the album saying she's not a saviour and literally saves me in the end with this meditation opus that made me value more life, time and future 😭🌬️🌊

the laughter of her and her daughter should have 90 score critics.

Alright! I've found the soundtrack for my next 4 years!

Also I love how some of the phrases in this overlay others like waves, and others fade away, like a wave dissipating on the shore

I don't care what people or music critics say this album is a masterpiece, and I'm sure that over time people will realize that it is a masterpiece, Lorde I love you, you are the best and this album it's my comfort place.

I can't believe this isn't everyone's favorite song

Therapy❌ Lorde's music✔️

how does this song not just send you immediately into deep tears

This whole album has big 90's vibes and I'm here for it

this is the one i was the most excited for and i was NOT disappointed omggg

I love how direct and straight forward she is with her vision and thoughts, it's so refreshing to hear her balance of inner strength and serenity. This song makes me experience a journey of emotions, from the calming nature of mother earth, having a personal conversation with a sibling, to imagining my future children. Despite these emotions and experiences lorde still admits shes doing her best and she isnt perfect. Highlighted in her process of channeling her power, "Breathing out and tune in." Reminding all of us that if we wanted to reach enlightenment, we have to remain present in the moment. She realizes that when her day comes she'll be ready, because shes familiar with the oceanic feeling that will carry her into the other side.

BEST lorde song ever 😭😍 it hits so different

I'VE NEVER OPENED THE BIBLE THIS FAST

"Now the cherry-black lipstick’s gathering dust in a drawer . I don’t need her anymore, cause I got this power" HER GROWN I'm crying.

One of the best from the album because it has some poetic roots, intensely personal perception. You can imagine this song visualised by Apichatpong Weerasethakul or Mati Diop. I didn’t like the album as a whole piece of art but Im deeply thankful for Oceanic feelings, California, and Big Star

lorde really nailed it with this song, amazing closing track

This song, especially the last part of it. Damn Lorde her vocals, her lyrics, her melodic choices. Gosh. She's improved so much

After listening to the whole album, I can say that stoned at the nail salon, fallen fruit, and mood ring are my top three picks, overall a great and rejuvenating album. It's perfect for warm and windy afternoons

I'm seating on a bench in the middle of a park alongside my dog. Closing my eyes, breathing in and breathing out, being fully in the present while listening to this song...it's pure heroine.

This is the best track on the album. Playing on repeat.

that outro is the best thing she's ever done wtf ...

This song is the best off Solar Power, sonically beautiful with meaningful lyrics.

I JUST FINISHED LISTENING TO ALL THE SONGS AND DAMN WAS THAT A VERY NICE TRIP

It is immensely beautiful the way Lorde is sharing her spiritual awakening with us. Ella is art.

best artist of our time, in this fuckin world that a breath we need !!

5:37. Utter chills. A phenomenal way to end an album with 4 years of build up

best song on this album

the last minute is just breathtaking ....

Easily my favorite song on the album. If I had to sum the song up in one word: ethereal - def; extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world. See Oceanic Feeling.

I love the ocean feel of this song. I could just drift away...

Lorde is healing our generation

Fact that it is a long track but i still can’t get enough. I could listen to more. I love the stories she told and her wonderment. She thinking of the future having her own child made me think hmmm.. people still thinking of having a child in this time or near future, not bad at all. I love this album in an instant. I love the calm theme of sounds in each songs. It took me some repeats to understand/interpret the songs but when I did, I appreciate them more. I listen to this album everyday several repeats even. Congratulations to Lorde for another masterpiece!. Btw man with the axe is supreme! Very heartfelt

this song is perfect for meditation and breathing exercise

I put my headphones on while traveling to the beach, I really enjoyed every second, I felt what Lorde wants to convey with this album

If I'm not mistaken this is the last song of this new fabulous album. Full of chill and relaxing feeling along with great lyrics, great voice, great music arrangement of all songs. I was listening and I felt so good, this is not the kind of trending music I'm used to listen nowadays, it hits good on my mood, gonna be listening this album for a while.

Solar Power grows on you

One of the best songs, solar power is pure gold

Lorde you mad lass you did it again, a classical album one more

Lorde's songs are just so calming

This song makes me wanna tell my grandmother that I'm not hungry

Mann this is a song which can never be heard good without eyes closed...man just feel the music 😭❤️

LOSING MY MIND

when that note comes in abt her looking retrospectively into the life of her dads that she never lived while in the same ocean he too was swam in often,, i cant help but get intense chills through my body. if a transcendental portal existed, this is 100% what you would hear walking into it….

Straight outta Zimbabwe, Lorde you’re one person I’ve listened to and adored keep the good music ❤️

This is so transcendental

I love the way she steps from the coolness of 3:05 into the more intense part of 3:15 ! Favorite part of the song!

Tenés un tinte de oscuridad que brilla, el drama no solo es dolor y esto representa perfectamente la evolución de ella como humana conciente, ha salido de su sombra, del melodrama.

WOW! PERFECT CLOSING TRACK FOR THE ALBUM, I CAN'T DECIDE WHICH SONG IS MY FAVORITE!
