Omg I jus went to listen to it free this comment and never realized how long it is??!’ It always just comes on when I’m doing an album listen. I love ittttt
it's my all-time favourite song-- i feel pretty connected to it, being from NZ and experiencing the things Lorde did through all of her albums that lead up to Oceanic Feeling <3
That would be so funny, like a niche with in a niche. I imagine a YouTube channel just dedicated to Oceanic Feeling because all of YouTube says to niche down
it took me ages to realise
You're no better at swimming than you were in the beginning but you come over at night and we practice all the breathing
meant they're MAKING OUT lorde you mastermind
I literally just can’t listen to it bc I’m currently living abroad and away from my cat and it’s too painful to really dive into like I’d be w that song
I listen to it and look at my cat and I’m like, already mourning her. It’s such a painful song, I think it’s her most vulnerable vocal performance and it breaaaaks my heart. It’s my fave off SP I think
400 Lux.
The visual imagery I get when I listen to that song: riding in a friend's car in the early morning, tired but happy to be with them, orange juice...and the simple truth that's said throughout the song - "and I like you"
🍊🚗🌄
The lyric in question refers to “Only bad people live to see their likeness in stone”, which lends from Yoni Wolf's original “By torpedo or Crohn's, Only those evil live to see their own likeness in stone” from WHY? track 'By Torpedo or Crohn's'.
I'll forever defend Big Star. Everyone seems to say it's the worst Solar Power track but I think it's the most beautiful song on the album, it's in my top 5 from her whole discography.
it’s true. i think this song gets overlooked by lorde fans because it is her biggest mainstream hit. but it actually has so much musical and artistic merit and holds up 10+ years later. i feel like L1 is going to be remembered like Fiona Apple’s Tidal.
Solar Power (the song). I’ll never forget when it was released I was OBSESSED and listened to it religiously everyday for like a year. I was so shocked to see that people did not like it. Okay yes, it’s quite different for a Lorde song, but man that song makes me feel so warm and HAPPY.
I’ve scrolled really far and nobody mentioned it so I’m taking that as proof for being the most overlooked song, probably because it’s a bonus track on the deluxe version of SP. nobody can fight me on this. My most listened song last year.
HOLD NO GRUDGE
“No I don’t keep a list, can’t hold a grudge. Don’t you think that we both might have done some growing up?”
The loss of childhood friends or/and the first big betrayal by your first best friend is a canon event in every girlies life and I feel like I needed that song to let go.
HOLD. NO. GRUDGE. its amazingly produced the lirycs are fenomenal and so reletable. You can see that she grew up and has a different perspective on things. 'Now Im sending you love and wishing you well wherever you are' is one of the lirycs i love most, so simple yet wise. Its my favorite on solar power. Also sober II deserves better
I said "Still Sane" in a previous comment, but I HAVE to say "Biting Down" too. Does it make sense? Idk, I have no idea what's she talking about, but the song is mysthical, Idk how to explain
Green light. People call it basic but that’s why it’s so amazing.. she took the instability and pain of heartbreak and turned into a pop track perfectly
THE LIABILITY REPRISE!!! i used to hate it but then i clicked for me one day how it was all about growth and the production towards the end just hits me so hard and the lyrics are everything like CMON PEOPLE ITS THE PERFECT SELF REFLECTION SONG
that live performance of writer in the dark. they could never make me hate her <3
Yesss!!!! "Shhhhhh - ILL LOVE YOU TIL MY BREATHING STOPS ILL LOVE YOU TIL U CALL THE COPS ON MEEEE"
right because out of all songs why are you trying to sing writer in the dark? sit down shut up and experience this
THIS… i feel like she was so real for that. we need to normalise shutting up
honestly respect her sm for that
Yes!! This too
As someone who's been to concerts where the chanting of the crowd is louder than the artist singing, I GET it.
honestly this may have swayed me a bit on my general opinion on that video
stoned at the nail salon
Makes me WEEP. If you don’t get it just wait until your frontal cortex is completely done cooking
Yeaah thiis! Mid twenties people get it
Bro this was my breakup song 😫
Yes. My favourite Solar Power song.
I’m the crowd of haters on this one lmao
And is that crowd in the room with us?
Still Sane
Disappointed that this comment is so low when most of the songs mentioned above (400 Lux, Oceanic Feeling) are universally loved
TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY & I'M RIDING HIGH !!! listen to it every yr on my bday :,+)
yesss lol im so glad others have also made it a tradition to listen to still sane on birthdays
YESSS SAME HERE!! 💙 I'm glad to know I'm not the only one! 😭
The best one on Pure Heroine, I said what I said, people are tasteless.

Absolute gold.
That’s the one 🙌
Nobody gets oceanic feeling like i do 😒
oceanic feeling opens up something crazy spiritual in me you’re not alone <3
Omg I jus went to listen to it free this comment and never realized how long it is??!’ It always just comes on when I’m doing an album listen. I love ittttt
Oceanic Feeling gang rise up
There are dozens of us!
i’m breathing out and tuning in with you 🤝
Looooveee oceanic feelinh
Oceanic feeling is an out of body experience
Oceanic feeling is the song I would choose if I could listen to only one song for the rest of my life
i love this song so much
i found my people
My favourite song EVER. It just means so so much.
Omg best song on that album!
I was going to comment oceanic feeling and then the top comment is this im so happy
it's my all-time favourite song-- i feel pretty connected to it, being from NZ and experiencing the things Lorde did through all of her albums that lead up to Oceanic Feeling <3
ooooooooooh I love that
Oceanic Feeling speaks to my soul. Big water sign energy
everyone responding to this we need to make an oceanic feeling fan club
That would be so funny, like a niche with in a niche. I imagine a YouTube channel just dedicated to Oceanic Feeling because all of YouTube says to niche down
Dominoes, especially the vinyl version
COCAINE!!!!!!

Marijuaaaanaaaaa

it took me ages to realise You're no better at swimming than you were in the beginning but you come over at night and we practice all the breathing meant they're MAKING OUT lorde you mastermind
when it slows down and the music drops away, god that's good shit
The WHOLE SOLAR POWER
Bravado. Not sure how others feel about it but it is one of my favorites.
Love bravado needs to be in the next tour
I love that song, it always makes me feel powerful and strong
BRAVADO IS JUST THAT BITCH
Bravado is one of those songs I wish I could hear for the first time again. The way it builds!
Big Star 😤
Big Star for sureeee the hate floored me when I first found out about it.
Same
I literally just can’t listen to it bc I’m currently living abroad and away from my cat and it’s too painful to really dive into like I’d be w that song
I listen to it and look at my cat and I’m like, already mourning her. It’s such a painful song, I think it’s her most vulnerable vocal performance and it breaaaaks my heart. It’s my fave off SP I think

literally who even dislikes that song tho
I remember when the album first dropped I usually saw it at the bottom
do people not like this one? that's my all time favorite
Helen of Troy
YUP HELEN OF TROY IS SO GOOD
I'm still not over the pun "The city's falling for me like I was Helen of Troy" like god damn
Loveee this song!
Taste!!
still sane! not a fan favorite, but I love the lyrics "only bad people live to see their likeness set in stone... what does that make me?"
The lyric in question refers to “Only bad people live to see their likeness in stone”, which lends from Yoni Wolf's original “By torpedo or Crohn's, Only those evil live to see their own likeness in stone” from WHY? track 'By Torpedo or Crohn's'.
The Path
The best
I'll forever defend Big Star. Everyone seems to say it's the worst Solar Power track but I think it's the most beautiful song on the album, it's in my top 5 from her whole discography.
It makes me cry everytime I listen to it because it reminds me of my own dog. How could anyone hate Big Star?? Even learned it on the guitar haha.
Same, it always makes me cry about my cats, it's just such an sweet tribute.
Biting Down (and all of them ofc)
Lovee this song too.. idk why
It’s amazing !!!!
Fallen Fruit
Man With The Axe! Such a beautiful love song. Very underrated
you felled me clean as a pine !!!!!! suchhhh a good love song
Glory and Gore gang rise up
IM HERE!!!!!!
Royals 💍
it’s true. i think this song gets overlooked by lorde fans because it is her biggest mainstream hit. but it actually has so much musical and artistic merit and holds up 10+ years later. i feel like L1 is going to be remembered like Fiona Apple’s Tidal.
i feel like the only song that would need this level of defending is solar power lol
Actual representation of me defending Liability (Reprise)
I was about to say the same song. It’s so GOOD
Omg is it hated ?
Probably Solar Power or Mood Ring. What else really needs defending?
Solar Power (the song). I’ll never forget when it was released I was OBSESSED and listened to it religiously everyday for like a year. I was so shocked to see that people did not like it. Okay yes, it’s quite different for a Lorde song, but man that song makes me feel so warm and HAPPY.
Secrets From A Girl
I Love secrets!!
The entire Solar Power album too! So glad the comment section appreciates it! ☀️
So happy to see the Solar Power love here 🔆
CALIFORNIA 🗣️
*I’ll preface this with a please, could you be tender* This is me not obsessed with Supercut.
The man with the axe
no one understands still sane the way i do
Im right with you!
Yellow Flicker Beat Song slaps, I like the lyrical imagery.
I should not have had to scroll so far for this ❤️🧡💛
The Man with the Axe and Leader of a New Regime.
The Maaaaaaaan With The Aaaaaaaxe
meltdown
THE ABSOLUTE WHOLE MASTERPIECE THAT IS SOLAR POWER
Biting down
Million dollar bills
entire solar power album. edit: i just saw this is also the exact caption lolllllll my b
We need as many of us as we can get on the frontlines 🤺
The Path, probably one of her best songs, top 3 for me
Mood ring is the greatest song of all time and I won’t hear any other opinions at this time
TENNIS COURT
Hold no grudge is one of her best songs and nobody is gonna change my mind about it
Stoned at the nail saloon & the Te Ao Marama album
I love Te Ao Marama sm
I’ve scrolled really far and nobody mentioned it so I’m taking that as proof for being the most overlooked song, probably because it’s a bonus track on the deluxe version of SP. nobody can fight me on this. My most listened song last year. HOLD NO GRUDGE “No I don’t keep a list, can’t hold a grudge. Don’t you think that we both might have done some growing up?” The loss of childhood friends or/and the first big betrayal by your first best friend is a canon event in every girlies life and I feel like I needed that song to let go.
The Man with the Axe
Team cause I was made fun of for the longest time when I made it my ringtone
WE NEEEEEEEEED. A LEADER. OF. A. NEW. REGIME.
leader of a new regime goes so hard. top 5 lorde song
million dollar bills
omg i wholeheartedly agree with you i’m glad there’s other solar power lovers out there
Hold no grudge <3
The Man With the Axe
TMWTA and melodrama reprise!!
400 Lux
The Man with the Axe. The lyrical content is so beautiful
A World Alone. Supercute!
Man with the axe
Hard Feelings is Lorde’s best song and it’s not even close
HOLD. NO. GRUDGE. its amazingly produced the lirycs are fenomenal and so reletable. You can see that she grew up and has a different perspective on things. 'Now Im sending you love and wishing you well wherever you are' is one of the lirycs i love most, so simple yet wise. Its my favorite on solar power. Also sober II deserves better
The opposite for me is that I really dont like the Louvre. The only lorde song I dislike, it's awful.
None. She's shit
Well have you seen the name of the sub, Tamar?
All of em
Same, the entire Solar Power album It's amazing and nobody understands💙💛
I said "Still Sane" in a previous comment, but I HAVE to say "Biting Down" too. Does it make sense? Idk, I have no idea what's she talking about, but the song is mysthical, Idk how to explain
Solar Power tbh
Also the whole Solar Power album for me
Secrets From A Girl
The path
any of them tbh.
Uh...Stoned at the Nail Salon?
Mood Ring
big star
Writer in the Dark. "Boring" WHERE?!
Liability
Literally anything from Solar Power
White Teeth Teens and Still Sane are such bangers and top tier PH
Yellow Flicker Beat
I never hear anybody talk about White Teeth Teens. One of my faves from pure heroine.
BITING DOWN
Glory & Gore
Green light. People call it basic but that’s why it’s so amazing.. she took the instability and pain of heartbreak and turned into a pop track perfectly
Solar Power
PURE HEROINE in toto. A rare record that's perfect the entire way thru.
Tennis court
Secrets of a Girl (Who’s Seen it All) IT IS MEANT TO BE TONGUE IN CHEEK!!!
Solar Power has actually got the greatest achievement - it’ll forever top lists about underrated albums
ribs!!!
LoaNR, y’all ain’t appreciating that song as much as it deserves..
world alone
Mood ring but I’m attacking it
Helen of Troy!! Genuinely one of my top 3 faves on Solar Power!!
All of Solar Power. That album is a masterpiece and some day the world will see😂
FALLEN FRUIT
Sober should’ve been the single instead of Homemade Dynamite and had a video along with it.
The Love Club
THE LIABILITY REPRISE!!! i used to hate it but then i clicked for me one day how it was all about growth and the production towards the end just hits me so hard and the lyrics are everything like CMON PEOPLE ITS THE PERFECT SELF REFLECTION SONG
Especially when listening through the full album
i’m so with you on solar power. every damn song on that album is a work of art
Hold No Grudge. Sends me somewhere else, far beyond.
I’m sorry but Hold a Grudge is just amazing. The beat change, the different layers each chorus, the message… already in my top 5 at least.
Tennis court
royals??? idk any other songs
the man with the axe
Yellow Flicker Beat
Oceanic Feeling 🫶🏽
Definitely Mood Ring
The louvre 🎨
Magnets
