naval23 Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Not her paying tribute to Folklore (I thought she forgot about it like she did about Powerless on her YouTube page) An era! Powerless, Try, Explode and Forca were those girls 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiulioLIFESTYLE Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 My favourite album ever probably. It’s so raw, emotional and still so relevant. This deserved to be a huge success WW Hopefully one day she’ll release something (in this vein) again, I’d love that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Miracles Posted November 4, 2023 Author Share Posted November 4, 2023 Explode's lyrics Peso... Joga... ginga... roda Vera's face burnt as a memory of bedroom fun With a lighter and some hairspray Smoking in the girls' room Not worse than Shelley's rape behind the McDonald's By a man she thought was fine, didn't tell anybody Or maybe back then we just thought that she was getting some Now we look back and see that she didn't know how We never thought that we'd get caught up Stuck in the teenage waste As we explode As we explode Then getting drunk in the bushes by the road outside the Kmart Rolling around in them to see if you would get prickled Slip the acid on your tongue rooftop mall parkade We couldn't get enough Then count the stars and the ten million woes Just you and the universe judging each other We never knew that we'd get caught up Stuck in the teenage waste As we explode As we explode As we explode As we let go... yeah Peso... roda... ginga... joga It's a fight, it's a fight and you finally belong Got a shiner now and it's more than a battle scar More than a battle scar, such a good, good story to tell At lunch break, lunch break, lunch break, lunch break Such a good, good story to tell You bully, you break, you bully, you break You fake, you fake, you fake, you fake You smoke, you toke, you want, you flaunt, you hit it and you're in it and it's spinning And it's wild We never thought that we'd get caught up Stuck in the teenage waste As we explode As we explode As we explode As we let go We're counting the stars We're counting the stars We're gonna go far, we're gonna go far We're counting the stars, we're counting the stars We're not very far, we're not very far And it's you and me in the open air It's truth or dare, we don't care We're counting the stars, we're counting the stars, we're counting the stars, we're counting the stars 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Year of Shadow Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Love this album, my favorite by her A shame her label had issues at the time which prevented proper US promo. Try would have easily been a hit in the US 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinashesLighter Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 i was obsessed with forca powerless try explode & fresh off the boat as a kid in the worst way, but growing up and listening to the album in full was such a life changing experience. every time people praise loose i always wish folklore was the album that pushed her to the forefront tbh! i hope we get another handful of songs in the same vein someday, if not an entire album. she truly tapped into some beautiful energy this era 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
