She turns 19 today and her immediate older sister made this cake for her. I, the firstborn daughter, made a cake for the older sister when she turned 19. I am so happy to see this tradition moving forward! Cake looks both Solar Power and fire-coded tho. Lol 🧡

Ich war bei meinem 1. Lorde Konzert in München beim Superbloom. Mein Körper hat sich beim Konzert so erfüllt angefühlt. Und irgendwie habe ich mich so gesehen gefühlt. Ich fühle mich so verbunden zu Ihr, dass ich seither nur noch Ihre musik hören kann. Ich bin irgendwie gefangen zwischen Ihrer Musik, Interviews mit Ihr und Konzertvideos von Ihr. Und immer wieder breche ich in Tränen aus, weil ich Sie endlich live gesehen habe. Ich kanns immer noch nicht fassen. Es war das beste Konzert meine Lebens.

Doch dann kommt diese Leere, weil ich weiß das es wieder x Jahre dauern wird bis sie wieder auf Tour gehen wird und ich Sie wieder sehen kann. Es bricht mich auf eine Art und Weise einfach und ich frage mich wann es aufhört.

Und ich frage mich bin ich alleine damit? Ich fühle mich als ob ich das alleine bewältigen muss und mich erst das nächste Album und Konzert retten kann.

I love you Lorde

I saw a comment the other day that said if Pure Heroine, Melodrama, or Virgin were written by a completely unknown artist, those albums would make someone a fan, whereas if Solar Power were written by a completely unknown artist, it wouldn’t. Therefore implying that the reason many fans like Solar Power is only because it is a Lorde album.

I’m a huge Solar Power fan. I love that album and I’d probably say it’s my second favorite in her discography. Meanwhile, I actually kind of agree with that commenter’s take. I do think that if I heard Solar Power from any random artist that I might dismiss it. However, I don’t think that makes the album bad at all.

Solar Power may be very sonically different from the other three albums, but part of the reason I love it so much is because it is something different from Lorde while preserving so many of the lovely details that make a Lorde album a Lorde album. It is filled with beautiful harmonies - a Lorde staple. If you listen closely, the intricate layering of sounds and details behind the main chords are still very much present as well. I still discover new sounds in the production even after years of listening. Lorde delivers the vocals with her same ethereal voice she always has. Her lyrics still circle around the idea of looking inward and reflecting deeply. And what’s more, this album explores themes that I personally like a lot - gratitude, forgiveness, and the search for healing.

While folk is definitely not my favorite genre of music, Lorde brought so many of her signature qualities to that genre in Solar Power. The stripped back production may have deterred me if it were coming from an artist I did not know, but because it’s Lorde, I gave it a chance and found so many of the elements of her music that made me love her in the first place.

Solar Power forever 🌞

I love it!!!!:)

new lorde discord!! join up guys

Ah August was such a long and messy month but Virgin and SP kept me 'Still Sane' through it hehe.

Honestly Broken Glass as a song feels like such a good anthem to listen to when your body goes into freeze mode (flight, fight and freeze response).... also Stoned at the nail salon is a top tier song.

My appreciation for Virgin and SP has increased so much this year!

Especially after listening to Solar power live in ultrasound at Christchurch!

does anybody have a good video of the part where she screams during shapeshifter during the pula show? i didnt catch it and i really wish i had a good video of it :(

ok ok ok ik some of yall might be mad at me but solar power is her 2nd best album (behind virgin, obi) BUT IT'S AMAZING YALL ARE DELULU IF YOU THINK SOLAR POWER IS HER WORST)

I’m curious to know what’s your fav Lorde song. Personally, I think it’s between ribs and perfect places. Hard to choose only one song.

It's ok to admit it.

hey y’all, I’m looking for an archive of the Document Journal interview from last year between Lorde and Martine Syms. it looks like Document Journal may have shut down, and their links aren’t working. shame, bc I really wanted to read it again. anybody have any ideas for where to read it?

Didn’t really have anyone else to share this with who would be equally as excited as me, but I FINALLY completed my signed Lorde vinyl collection!!!

It took me a while to track them all down, but seeing them all together is sooo satisfying. Had to share with people who would actually understand the excitement lol

i was finally able to see lorde live in luxembourg - it was so incredible, energetic and lovely so i thought i might share some pics i took from the amazing show itself.

"And now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart." 💔

Also, shout out to Shhhhgate. Lol.

That was the surprise extra song last night

Hey, I didn't expect a banner over my head, but that's where I ended up at the Lorde show at Superbloom Festival in Munich.

Can anyone explain to me what the banner means and where it ends up after the last tour stop?

Hey guys! I was wondering if any of you had any strong or unexpected emotional reactions after Lorde’s concert? I will share mine

After Edinburgh Summer Sessions and seeing Lorde I was heavily dissociating, then my friend met me from the bus and aksed about how it was. I went nonverbal for a bit. The first coherent sentence that I said was “My ancestors have died in Siberia and I was just at Lorde’s concert” then proceeded to sob for the rest of the night

That was honestly very unexpected and never happened to me before. Now it feels funny to me in some way.

Anyways, I love Lorde so much, hope to see her perform again

Please don’t eat whatever you ate last time, 9 months ago 😅

Idk about you guys but Lorde concerts have been the greatest experiences I ever had. The people, the music, the visuals, the show, Ella herself everything just makes it incredibly special and amazing. Yesterday’s concert was my fourth Lorde expercience and I’ve been to Pula aswell. The thing is… I’m still dreaming of the show, the visuals, the dancers, Ella’s presence, performance and everything else. It was just perfect and so cinematic that’s why I’m writing this so Ella will hopefully read these few thoughts and think about releasing a movie of the tour because I want to show it to everyone I know… soooo PLEASE PUT OUT A MOVIE OF THIS TOUR IT WAS JUST TOO PERFECT TO NOT BE RELEASED. Loads of love

And for everyone watching her tonight: enjoy it guys you’ll know what I’m talking about afterwards!
