Top Comments of this video!! :3
From Lorde’s newsletter:
“It’s bittersweet to be coming to the end of this video journey, but amazing too, because this one is possibly my FAVOURITE video I’ve ever, ever made. Who you see in this video is who I truly am, or who I want to be— open, laid bare, water glittering on my skin, speaking directly to you, nothing to hide or prove, just me.
The person with me is my other half and best mate, my brother Angelo. Born on the same day five years apart, we’ve always shared a super close bond. I knew by putting him in the video, I’d be showing myself exactly as I am. Can’t be anyone else when that kid’s around.
The end is super special too, an end to the video story as much as to this chapter — my community of loved ones gathered to see me off, a moment of ceremony.”

This song feels like when you're finally healed and all the trauma that you had to experience for months and years is gone so you just sit there and admire the nighty sky as you feel like a newborn somehow
A child again, cause you survived it all
And now finally you can move on from that dark chapter of your life

This album means so much to me. I am aware how people didn't like this album when she released it a year ago. Melodrama is sonically beautiful but this album is another level. It's like a touch of sunlight at the beach or the way the sun rays cut across the trees or the sound of the ripple of the water. This album gave me such enlightenment and calmness I never experienced in my life.

Looking back on the mixed critical reception of Solar Power, it really isn't unlike the mixed reception you get from your circle of friends when you get better and start living your best life. Some are proud and elated for you; some are jealous and want to see you eaten by ants; some are confused because they thought you would never change; some simply come with you. I strongly believe that if Lorde is making another album, it's not going to be a balm for anyone but the last group -- because she herself is the first one to go with her.

i really navigated my late teens listening to melodrama and I've never quite heard an album which depicted the whole growing pain so accurately and beautifully.
i waited for years for her to come up with new music and when she did so, i initially found it was difficult to adjust with the new perspective and sound overall.
i realised i was projecting my fear of letting go of the angst and strong feelings i had in my years while Melodrama was along. i wasn't ready to grow into the person i was builded for, so i frantically held on, even tho it was not the best thing for me.
i know am slowly understanding how wonderful it is to see Lorde herself heal and grow bravely into this calm, divine adulthood.
i learnt that i can also move forward and still look back at my past years (melodrama) because neither the memories nor the album will be going anywhere. they will always be there.

This song means so much to me. It's deeply personal, I can feel both my own story and my parents' being told. I live and have been raised on Amazon Rain Forest, big city, but surrounded by huge rivers and my father grew up in the countryside, in a very poor family. This song for me is a bridge, a line between our stories, like a river that starts really small ends up on the sea. Thanks Ella.

Thats my favorite song of the album... It sounds so comforting i can feel like spending a day on the beach, feeling the sun warming up my skin, the smell of the sea water, the thoughts on my past, my relationship with my family and thinking where i am and where i wanto to go, Ella could make we all experiment this feeling throught the whole album and put it all together in this song. Thank you, Lorde!!!

I was wrong: I didn't initially love Solar Power but wow, how it's grown on me. The subtle artistry and beauty of her sound, the way you can dive deeper into it each time you listen, those are the hallmarks of just an incredible artist. What a beautiful journey this has been, a chapter I'm thrilled to have been a part of.

i will never understand the hate this album got! I feel like every album is a reflection of her phase in life/growing up. From the teen angst and rebellious attitude in PH to the messy house parties and first heartbreaks in MD. I feel like SP is her departing from her melodrama phase, going outdoors in the open air instead of feeling trapped in a club/party. it’s growing up! and realising there’s more to life than late nights and sleeping in. i think that’s why i love it because she’s over the life she used to lead and has found joy outside of the fame and LA lifestyle, she don’t want that California Love! maybe the haters haven’t grown up yet hence why they wanted MD 2.0 🤷🏻♂️

i can’t believe that this album was released around one year ago. this feels like an ending and i don’t want this era to end. it brought me so much peace, exactly what i needed the last year. ella really didn’t disappoint with this album, it was so frickin good. can’t wait to see what’s next!!
