Sorry if this has been answered but do we know who David is? 

Genius gets it wrong sometimes, but I think they have it right here:

https://genius.com/Lorde-david-lyrics

 

The lyric "Was I just young blood to get on tape?" suggests someone in the recording industry.

https://genius.com/36029710

 

The line "Pure heroine mistaken for featherweight" suggests someone that knew her from the Pure Heroine days, or at least from when she was quite young.

In interviews, she talked about how she dated older men, perhaps because she wanted to "make someone God", someone that had all the answers.

So, it's an older man in the industry who knew her from the Pure Heroine days.

Most likely Justin Warren.

 

Also on genius, all of the Virgin non-singles are in the Top 8 on their chart.

She always said that was a reject, I don't understand why people created such hope around it

still can't believe our banner got changed to aespa on the release day of an AOTY lol (i stan aespa too btw)

~That~ photo is actually quite beautifully done like the rest of the photography for this album and you can't really see anything so I'm not sure what the hullabaloo is about. Like clearly it's tying into the album's themes on femininity and her own body and whatnot so I don't think it's a cheap shock value thing at all.

But Virgin could snatch that #2 spot if it keeps growing on me

85 on Metacritic now! OMG stop the count. A reverse Something Beautiful experience

 

I was humming Current Affairs while trying to sleep last night. God this song is one of the most beautiful I've ever heard. The melody is so gorgeous, the production so simple but so urethral.

omg the acclaim

 

 

 

gurl you puss* good indeed   

Shapeshifter is so ******* good omg  

I was gagged on first listen. Teen hottie is back!! 

i bought the blood vinyl and wow omg i showed everyone the lordussy at work and they were all SHOOKETH! 

 

oh white madonna  the gag you delivered 

Watch all the antis switch like f when they see this

The melody of "and everything else falls awayyyy" is so pretty it pains me she doesn't repeat it and that there's no bridge on the song otherwise it'd be a 10/10

Lorde singing "Mama, I'm so scared" in Current Affairs right after Favourite Daughter where she sings "Breaking my back just to be as brave as my mother"

 

I promise I'm not cryingg 

This album aging like wine with every listen  yes Ella, yes acclaim

At first listen, this is really, really good.  Need to listen another 3-5 times to fully digest  

a masterpiece.

i'm so emotional 

The production is INSANE

lorde never fails
