Not earth moving, but I rather like it.

Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
μηδὲν ὅλως σὺ λυποῦ
πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐστὶ τὸ ζῆν
τὸ τέλος ὁ χρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ.”

Not bad. Let's give it time to see it it is a grower or not. Already getting good initial airplay, but I could see this one ultimately going either way (hit vs. disappointment).

She copies her last effort she's stagnating.

She switches it up she's a sellout.

Depends on how she switches it up. If she's singing about partying, getting wasted, spending extravagant amounts of money on expensive clothes and alcohol and wild sex on a song featuring a a flavor og tbe day rapper then she'd be properly labeled as a sellout. A simple uptempo song is completely fine.

That said, this song seems to hit a happy medium. It's somber but upbeat enough not to get lost in the shuffle of her own work or the conundrum of boring, down-tempo songs last year was flooded with.

i know. youtube comments are ridiculous as well. anyway, i like the song,
after about 3 or 4 times listening it's growing on me fast.

i like her and it'll be interesting to see where she goes if she gets to make
a few more albums, especially if she'll continue to write her own songs.

This is badass. Nice production. Reminds me of Yeah Yeah Yeahs 'Zero' for some reason. Cant wait to blast this in the ride.

She sounds like she is surrounded by people telling her to appeal to the EDM crowd. Well, I guess it worked. Maybe if I did some Molly, it would sound better. lol mad neutral

Lorde: “I love the song so much and it feels so starkly truthful to me. And I think everyone knows what that’s like, to just feel like a f**king liability.”
