The Man With the Axe is the opposite of Liability. She's no longer feeling like a burden, she isn't dancing by herself anymore, she is a different person and she's at peace, happy, with a person who loves her. It's so cute once you realize the parallelism on the first verses.

[@Blueberriboy]

This album gave me life and energy! Lorde just doesn’t disappoint. If people are comparing this album to melodrama they’re just setting themselves up for failure because it’s literally like night and day.

[@thesweetrollcheese]

Mood Ring for me was a clear "If I wanted to do a bop filled album I would and I could but I chose not" I feel like the album is for an especific mood and state of mind, I absolutely loved it

[@rucals]

Pure Heroine: Theme Melodrama: Production Solar Power: Lyrics Honestly SP lyrics hits different

[@gabrielribeiro7306]

YES! In my opinion solar power is the best album by Lorde when it comes to Lyrics, I love how mature and happy she is now. An amazing album.

[@iwilitu6591]

I don't see it cause on SP the lyrics are so repetitive, Fallen Fruit (albeit a good song) is 4 min long and have 2 verses and no bridge, I feel like she relies way too much on repetitions on SP

[@rucals]

@@iwilitu6591 not the track i meant the album

[@afiefswift5403]

I think pure heroine is the one with amazing lyrics. But yeah I do agree melodrama have that production.

[@frankoceanstanaccount7126]

Leader of a New Regime is so underrated, I'm glad you appreciated the power that it holds. It ties perfectly with the end of Oceanic Feeling, the idea of her leaving the crown to the new girls. "Can somebody, anybody, be the leader of the new regime?". "Take of my robes and step into the choir". It's funny also, thinking Phoebe Bridgers and Clairo were part of her "choir" and she's trying to gave up her place for somebody else.

[@TECfan1]

My idea for what she meant by the "I'm taking off my robe and stepping into the choir." at the end is that Lorde doesn't want to be famous anymore. She stepping in to a crowd and becoming a face in it. She doesn't care about making radio hits anymore and instead wants to make true art and poetry, whatever she wants to.

[@meyechelangelo]

That is an amazing analysis

[@logan4231]

This is 2 years later but I think oceanic feeling is also an allusion to the Buddhist metaphor of the wave. Each wave is a different life/individual, but ultimately, it’s inseparable from the ocean itself. When she reaches enlightenment, she’ll know it’s time to pass the torch and let her wave crash back into the ocean. Like you said, she’s rode the highs of fame and had her time in the spotlight. Almost every song on the album holds the theme of cycles and that metaphor of the ocean is the perfect way to close it

[@neontyler6663]

It’s so Magical and Sounds Sophisticated, it’s like i’m walking in a museum and everything has its own story and feeling…. And the 60’s with the early 2000’s track and of course her poetic lyricism, So Unique, A Masterpiece that i never heard or my soul is finding for this whole life. Thank you Lorde for making my life meditated. ☀️💛

[@liammoore9560]

There’s 2 bonus tracks on the deluxe cd version “Helen of Troy” and “no grudge”

[@tantheta2184]

Listen to hold no grudge on KZbin. That song needs to be checked out .

[@maxb8783]

@@tantheta2184 ist my favorite and I hate her for not putting it on the normal album😭

[@DucMeLana]

It's so nice to see people like you appreciating Solar Power. I mean, Its not her best of her career but it adds nothing but greatness into her discography.

[@dgchvz]

Omg so glad you mentioned Jack’s production I swear he uses that hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have melody I just roll my eyes. I know Taylor brought it up

[@meyechelangelo]

😂😂😭

[@romarieilao7890]

i love the transition between melodrama and solar power kinda reminds me of reputation and lover tbh but overall the album is so calm and I'm here for it 💛

Mood ring gives such tlc, aaliyah, brandy or even destiny’s child

[@meyechelangelo]

YESSSS! And the videooo is giving Solange visuals like she really ATE

[@eneritzbarbadillagarcia4772]

it reminds me a lot of Nelly Furtado too!

[@francisedward8713]

secrets from a girl is probs my fave from this album. "and we can go look at the sunset by euphoria mixed with existential vertigo? cool" LOVE. the talking bit was voiced by the ICON robyn (who sings dancing on my own, among other bops).

[@alexliu5884]

I feel like this album is best listened to when you close your eyes, imagine yourself where she pictures us to be...

[@100PCMMCW]

Such a raw, honest reaction and review - 1st Class - more than happy to respectfully agree to disagree, because your review was considered, and not just purely emotive. Most objective review I've seen. Respect Meyeschel. Respect. Be safe, be well and Bon Chance

Definitely is not made for the charts, it's made for the beaches! Great react as well! Excited for your next dive! 💛💛

[@oglifeline1005]

agreed that some of the songs were really like natasha bedingfield and colbie caillat. maybe some "i'm like a bird" by nelly furtado, too. loved that.

[@100PCMMCW]

Also very close guitar work and vocals to Michelle Branch's excellent albums

[@frankoceanstanaccount7126]

Her man is not 60 lmao. He's 40 something. They've been together since like 2018, or that's when they started being spot together (Now there's a lot of people on Twitter hating on her relationship with this man, because of the age gap, which I think is not important, because she looks happy af).

[@meyechelangelo]

Lmfaooo idk why I let twitter stans give me false info someone really said he was 60 🥱😂😂 and yes I am happy that she’s happy

[@frankoceanstanaccount7126]

And Mood Ring

@@meyechelangelo wait those were my other faves but i just havent gone back to listen to them. But … halsey 👀 thats what im waiting for

[@taylordixon1836]

My favorites are Fallen Fruit, Mood Ring, and Leader of a New Regime. The only song I would skip (at the moment) is Dominoes, she’s cute but not my vibe. I will say the album grew on me after I made myself listen to it four times :)

[@macsfe9828]

Idk if you know who Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young is, but the first track, Path, reminds me of their sound. The whole album gives me a bit of a throw-back to 70s vibe.

PURITY RING DISCOGRAPHY: SHRINES/ANOTHER ETERNITY/WOMB

[@JessieDee13]

I really LOVE your reactions. I just found your channel 3 days ago, and I've been checking out some of your content and we have very similar taste. You felt the same way I did about Fallen Fruit. That song is the best song on the album imo. I would be interested to see you dive into Beyonce but also her Destiny's Child days.

[@meyechelangelo]

I am definitely doing destinys child before I dive into bey’s discography! Also thank you for liking my content! I made this channel to find like minded people with the same taste as me and clearly its working ♥️

Mood Ring sounds like a mix between Nelly Furtado and Gwen Stefani

[@skrullboyx]

stoned at the nail salon reminded me another song

[@skrullboyx]

Omg!, sounds like wild at heart

[@francisedward8713]

can't relate to growing out of the music i liked at 16 either. aside from that, go lorde TELL THEM ALL

[@zontzooit2415]

mood ring sounds like such a spiritual wellness, happy girl embracing song but the song is actually poking fun at wellness culture. to me the whole song feels like from the pov of a girl whos pretending to have her life together by doing all this spiritual stuff when in reality its just a mask to hide her sadness. last part "take me to some kind of place anywhere" feels like from the perspective of a desperate person trying to get out of whatever situation theyre in. she talks about it in a genius interview on youtube

[@zontzooit2415]

reminds me a lot of how lorde would poke fun at perfect people in the past like "white teeth teens"

[@meyechelangelo]

I love thatttt

[@lithw01]

“Growing out of” doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not valid anymore, it’s just that it doesn’t give you the same sensation as you had at 16

[@tantheta2184]

I found last week that halsey is older than Ella and it surprised me a lot.

In the last part of oceanic feeling it’s jack antonoff voice

[@meyechelangelo]

Omgg

[@100PCMMCW]

I'm fairly certain it's Lawrence Arabia and Marlon Williams from New Zealand actually - she performed a song with him at his concert in Auckland a few months back - and also they sang a duet in Christchurch to support the victims and city after the Australian gunman massacred all those people in two mosque's. Jack isn't credited for any vocals that I've found yet, the only other vocalists are Phoebe Bridgers and Clairo, because Lorde has used other female voices instead of layering her own this time - which is very much in keeping with '60's and '70's production styles.
