Lorde is the best songwritter on history

i've had this thought ever since she release pure heroine. at just 16, she wrote lyrics better than most songwritters after a 30 year career tho. and now she's just released "liability" which is another step forward.

her work is the best, let me explain it for you:

during most lorde songs, she is able to create an intangible narrative that explains both a feeling and an event, exact to a past moment of her life but also very relatable for everyone willing.

in "liability", she is able to speak about success, love, fame, and self perception by just pinning down the few lines:

Baby really hurt me
Crying in the taxi
He don't wanna know me
Says he made the big mistake of dancing in my storm
Says it was poison
So I guess I'll go home
Into the arms of the girl that I love
The only love I haven't screwed up
She's so hard to please
But she's a forest fire
I do my best to meet her demands
Play at romance, we slow dance
In the living room, but all that a stranger would see
Is one girl swaying alone
Stroking her cheek

 

and in just this verse she's trapped you in a film scene already. i think this is peak songwritting and she will continue to raise the ceiling as she grows up, unmatched by anyone, close by few. she writes songs like poetry was meant to be written when songs couldn't be recorded and puts poets to dust.

She's an amazing writer particularly at such a young age. 

However, I really like Ryan Tedder :wub:Native was some incredible song-writing imo :giveup:

The hardest thing in this world is to live in it

"of all time" is a huge statement to make, but she's definitely one of the best that the 2010's generation has to offer, along with Frank Ocean and Kendrick Lamar.
