On my first listen I didn’t love this one, but a week later, I’m warming up to it. I think some of the lyrics are my least favorite from the album though (“We will walk together” is a little cheesy).

really great instrumentation all around, has that moment in the middle which gives us a faux pure heroine Lorde moment which is cool, love how it ends with that weird squeaking/screeching sound

a scintillating fusion of old lorde and new, the dark melodrama melody coming together with the breeziness of solar power. nice overall but it sits a bit heavy next to the rest of the songs.

it's beautiful, but I can't listen to this song anymore because I had it on while driving home from work and nearly fell asleep on the highway

Fallen Fruit is that bit*h like if the beeps were not there this would take the 11 like no lies it snatched my wig at first listen!

I envision a group of girls up a hill putting together flower crowns and braiding each other's hair. Doesn't do very much for me.

Hippie vibe, nice guitars, especially the smooth and slow electric guitar solo, classic boom bap Lorde bridge. A good song.

This song was a journey and reminded me a lot of Kate Bush at times. Loved certain parts a lot more than others.

this one is so pretty and i love when she just repeats fallen fruit and also the production here is 10/10

the bridge is the best part. that bass yes kiwi queen

Big The Mamas and the Papa's vibes. Love it.

its perfection, would have been my second 11

It's grown on me so much. The sudden mood shift from the second half of the album plays with the irony of its lyrics. And the crystal sounds? The sitar at "let's fly somewhere eastern"? Ugh. Love me a good satire, ending with an honest conversation with herself: "Watch the sun set, look back on my life. I just wanna know, will it be alright?" Everything is just so right, it all clicks for me.

Infectious chorus, she's going to have the people she's poking fun of singing this song at the top of their lungs lmao. I think its reception right now is marred by the public's perception of lorde, but is she not allowed to make a mindless bop? Lol

It’s a good song, but to me, the production doesn’t work with the rest of the album. I like the song on its own, but in the context of the album, it doesn’t work as well in my opinion.

I love the "Nelly Furtado - All Good Things" vibe in it, the catchiness of the melody, the softness of her voice. The dry arpeggios are very nice too andthe lyrics are fun, a bop!

"i literally don't remember what this song sounds like and i think that says everything you need to know regarding my opinion" - evan peters' thoughts on leader of a new regime

 

lorde outdid herself with this one. It feels throwback yet fresh, and it is the perfect satire of our generation.

 

Perfect. Perfect sound perfect vibes perfect lyrics perfect length. Perfect.

 

It's just a perfect balance between satirical and catchy love it!

 

as a girl obsessed with astrology, this is a bop

 

This will be a Lorde classic in the future.

 

Really good. Catchy, pretty, a bop.

 

Beautiful song, very nostalgic

 

Royals (lo-fi indie remix)

 

such a vibe such a bop

 

 

[Hyperobject 66,771]

imagine giving Fallen Fruit score lower than 10. Can't relate!

PLUTO IN SCORPIO GENERATION
