Lorde - Solar Power (Lyrics)
I hate the winter
Can’t stand the cold
I tend to cancel all the plans (so sorry, I can’t make it)
But when the heat comes
Something takes a hold
Can I kick it? Yeah, I can
My cheeks in high colour, overripe peaches
No shirt, no shoes, only my features
My boy behind me, he’s taking pictures
Lead the boys and girls onto the beaches
Come one, come all, I’ll tell you my secrets
I’m kinda like a prettier Jesus
Forget all of the tears that you’ve cried, it’s over (over, over, over)
It’s a new state of mind - are you coming, my baby?
Acid green, aquamarine
The girls are dancing in the sand
And I throw my cellular device in the water
Can you reach me? No, you can’t
Turn it on in a new kind of bright, it’s solar (solar, solar, solar)
Come on and let the bliss begin
Blink three times when you feel it kickin’ in
That solar power

The video clip is weird because she's running around doing stunts and her voice sounds like someone standing still.

[@MisterAPH]

@@moonaddict You really find it weird? I mean Lorde is super good live, but several singers (like Beyonce, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, to name a few) can sound perfectly stable even when moving around a lot during performances.

@@languidcreature2345 Huh? I can't guarantee it, but I'm pretty sure the video is the actual audio recording. I don't think there's lip synching here.

[@justinetadifa4354]

@@MisterAPH i think lorde’s music is just hard to sing. Her music is flowing through her blood when she is performing-end up singing like an audience. And she won’t mind if she will sound bad or good, enjoyment is what matters for her.

[@theredrobin9402]

I’m in LOVE with this version of Solar Power: That big sudden drop-and-float moment where the outro is? Wonderful. In the OG version, that’s where the drums and trumpet and full harmony comes in, which is such a stark contrast to how bare it is here. And it’s LOVELY. It’s wondrous.
