OMonster 14,667 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 There's something about it I love... and something about it I don't like at all. Firstly, I like how different it sounds. She is pushing boundaries within mainstream pop culture. Amidst the current rule of Ed Sheeran, this is very refreshing. She's always been different and I love her for it. It's one of the reasons I'm sure David Bowie thought she was the future. I like the chorus a lot and I love the almost harsh juxtaposition between the tempo and tone of the verses and chorus. I think it tells the story well, sonically. You've got the darker, lower sounds in the verses communicating her angst about a certain relationship... and then a lighter tone for when she's declaring that she still wants to 'green light' it. I think the transition between the verses and chorus is very jarring. It doesn't sound cohesive. It sounds clunky to me actually. I don't like the lyrics, either. They're very light? I don't know if that makes sense but they just feel quite empty to me. I'm also not sure if I'm interpreting the meaning of the song well either. The lyrics are a bit unclear to me - not because of complexity but actually because of simplicity. 3.5/5 from me if anyone cares. subtext / fantasy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorcerer 12,462 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 This song is better than any song in Ed Sheeran's Divide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lassex 1,169 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Honestly, the song is so good, but I can't stand the happy piano part I wish the whole song had a bit more sadder and edgier vibe. And I'm not gonna lie, this does sound like her previous music, it's just faster and happier than most of her songs. But I'm not disappointed, I'm actually more excited for her next album now! Edit: The intro/first verse sounds so promising but the happy piano part just ruins the atmosphere. I'm sorry to say it. But when the production sound hits in and the chorus starts, the song gets better again. I know the structure is ''broken'' on purpose, but I'm such a fan of perfectly built songs.

ElectrikUniCorn 99 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I'm not a fan of her (not that I hate her but I don't know her music) but this song SLAYS me!!! I must listen to her old stuff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos 3,199 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Quote The song is actually about a heartbreak. And it’s not something that I really am used to writing about. It took me a while to be able to figure out how to write about that. It was my first major heartbreak. The song is really about those moments kind of immediately after your life changes and about all the silly little things that you gravitate towards. I say, “She thinks you love the beach, you’re such a liar”. What the ****, she thinks you like the beach?! You don’t like the beach! It’s those little stupid things. It sounds so happy and then the lyrics are so intense obviously. And I realized I was like, “how come this thing is coming out so joyous sounding?” And I realized this is that drunk girl at the party dancing around crying about her ex-boyfriend who everyone thinks is a mess. That’s her tonight and tomorrow she starts to rebuild. And that’s the song for me. Lorde about the song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boneknuckleskin 776 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I was worried of the possible Taylor influences when I heard that they were besties now but thankfully this is uniquely old-scool Lorde's take on top-shelf pop. I'm living for her album titles. Her style. Everything about this girl. I just wish I could find this on U.S. iTunes (mobile app). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chic 20,830 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Kind of mixed. It has such a great buildup and then it just goes into that happy piano start that sounds like a second verse more than a chorus. And I like the background vocals on the chorus, but the vocals and instrumental are weak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
