I'm gonna get lashes for this but to me this single is confirming the PowerPoint. The Coachella, wedding dress lyrics, and she did meet Jack when she was 17 at the Grammys 2014

its about justin warren not jack lol

I'm going to have to hear the full song because the snippet isn't really exciting me. :katie:

This sounds SO good, I don't get the mixed reaction here. 

Okay ya'll I was there and the song is literally fantastic, kinda wish she only played like maybe half of it to build up a little more hype for Friday but it's nbd. 
 

also a cool easter egg that no one is talking about is there was a guy I saw there next to Dev while he was playing wwt who was wearing a navy hat that said "Goodbye, you" in white. Exactly like the ones Lorde's been wearing. Prob a song title or lyric.

….is it too late to rush release Good Fights?

 

:suburban:

OT but the way I'm still mad at her not releasing this song and it's been what, 12 years :suburban:

 

And us only having this one crappy lq live performance of the best bridge ever created 

Edited by Helix

We already have quite a lot of the song here (2:04) and the intro has something in common with Royals, Yellow Flicker Beat and Green Light.

Super minimalist instrumentation for the first 20 seconds.

 

Can't wait for the fully produced track on Friday, unless she does some kind of early release (wouldn't be the first time).

solar power better 

A hatecrime 

Trying not to judge this song based on that clip, but I'm a bit worried...

been trying so hard not to listen, i want my first impression to be the full studio track rather than an iphone microphone in a crowd of people screaming (although valid ngl).

 

the 'solar power bad' jokes should be left in 2021 though. we as a community should be better than this :michael:

full lyrics from the new bible :jonny5:

 

[Verse 1]

A place in the city, a chair in the bed

I cover up all the mirrors, I can't see myself yet

I wear smoke like a wedding veil

Make a meal I won't eat

Step out into the street, alone in a sea

It comes over me

Oh, I'm missing you

Yeah, I'm missing you

And all the things we used to do

 

[Chorus]

MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up

We kissed for hours straight, well baby, what was that?

I remember saying then, "This is the best cigarette of my life"

Well, I want you just like that

Indio haze, we're in a sandstorm, and it knocks me out

I didn't know then that you'd never be enough for me

Since l was seventeen, I gave you everything

Now, we wake from a dream

Well, baby, what was that?

 

[Post-Chorus]

What was that?

Baby, what was that?

 

[Verse 2]

Do you know you're still with me

When I'm out with my friends?

I stare at the painted faces that talk current affairs

You had to know this was happening

You weren't feeling my heat

When I'm in the blue light, down to be myself right

I face reality

I tried (I tried)

To let (To let)

Whatever has to pass through me, pass through

But this is still a problem, I know

It might not let me go

 

[Chorus]

MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up

We kissed for hours straight, well baby, what was that?

I remember saying then, "This is the best cigarette of my life"

Well, I want you just like that

Indio haze, we're in a sandstorm, and it knocks me out

I didn't know then, but you'd never be enough for me

Since l was seventeen, I gave you everything

Now, we wake from a dream

 

[Post-Chorus]

Well, baby, what was that?

Baby, what was that?

 

[Outro]

'Cause words are just like that

Do you regret me? I don't

What was that? (I remember when they were around)

Baby, what was that?

I will wait with my impressions until studio version

 

But there is a hype for sure!

Some of you are being a little harsh with the nacho reheating allegations. This is the first time on her career she's coming back to a similar previous sound, she's not even working with the same producer (thank God) and we've only heard one song in low quality from the album. If the album turns out to be Melodrama 2.0 I'll be the first to drag her but I'm sure she's going to evolve and explore new sounds as she always does.

it doesn't even sound like Melodrama :rip:

 

we know what happened with these nasty **** when she did a 180 on her sound, & now we see what's happening when she makes something upbeat again :rip: you really can't make people happy

 

let's not act like some tastelessness in ATRL is the general consensus though, everyone in every social media i'm seeing is beyond gagging :clap3:

This verse hit me like a truck, she's insane
