Lorde - Writer in the Dark - Live in Oakland

Still remember when she asked everyone to keep quiet to sing the chorus by herself, now she not only has a thousand people chorus singing along but also smiles and sings almost effortlessly, baby has grown up

I hate when people sing the chorus at concerts. I'm there to hear the artists, not me and not the crowd.

[@gensoyuuki86]

same here, i go to concerts to hear the artists sing, but that just means that the crowd just really love the song and appreciate the artist‘s work of art. i mean this song is really beautiful that everyone who hears it can relate to it.

I love it too, they don't criticize her choices and understand she's an artist w a process

You know what's cute? She doesn't act famous. She is just a human being talking with others on stage and singing after that.

I loved that beautiful conversation at the beginning. I remember listening to Lorde's Pure Heroine every day at the end of high school. Then I went to college. I lived next to an outdoor theater and heard concerts through my dorm-room windows for 3 years. She played my town bookending the start and end of my time in college, and there's a lot of meaning that brings up for me. We've both grown up.

[@jareddaigre4550]

Seeing the phone lights in that crowd made me tear up because it makes you realize just how powerful Lorde's music is, so that thousands of people take the time and effort to share in her pain, her anger, her vulnerability, her growth, and her truth.

By far the best person on this planet is Lorde.

[@Eletricfred]

Yes she is special ! She has genius on several levels. I'm pleased to watch this prodigy and see her develop.

[@haydnmarie7986]

This is meant to be an emotional song if you actually listen to the lyrics. Lorde, her talent & this song is so criminally underrated by human beings.

I cried when she said “I love you too.”

[@nanan8992]

She's 21 here, doing this big already. I'm 21 now and I'm nowhere. I wonder how it feels to be this raw, this potent that it's inevitable to be consumed by the world for being, for expressing your truth which is the truth of many- if not all- that you translate the best into forms that allows others to feel these very truths through you. Artists are magic, I can only dream to be as beautiful.

[@armyshope]

To me she looks like someone who must be heard

I don’t know how artists don’t cry as they sing their songs. I cry just listening to some that really hit

[@Halokid189]

A soul mate of mine, someone who may have been the love of my life, dedicated this song to me, she is no longer in my life, I have lost her. I will live on and be okay, but these lyrics hit so hard. She was a writer herself. She was a precious piece of beauty in this tragic world. I hope she is well, I miss her. Lorde deserves more credit than she gets!

[@Gabriel-qu5fb]

this is one of her songs that I really wanna see live cause the chorus sounds so good when sang by a crowd with her

I WOULD BE IN THIS CROWD SOBBING

[@saidatulkauthar]

Break the news - you're walking out To be a good man for someone else Sorry I was never good like you Stood on my chest and kept me down Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd Did my best to exist just for you Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power I'll find a way to be without you, babe I still feel you, now and then Slow like pseudo-ephedrine When you see me, will you say I've changed? I ride the subway, read the signs I let the seasons change my mind I love it here since I've stopped needing you Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power I'll find a way to be without you, babe I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power I'll find a way to be without you, babe
