The clever lyrics and musical approach are what make this song special.
“Secrets From a Girl (Who’s Seen It All)” It finds Lorde taking a beautiful, earnest moment to connect to her long gone youth, even heavily referencing Melodrama with lines like “I used to love the party now I’m not alright” and “every perfect summer’s gotta take its flight.”ģ. This hazy song filled with sweet, childlike lyrics was inspired by Lorde’s dog Pearl, who passed away.

It wouldn’t be a true Lorde love song though without her pondering her own self-actualization as it relates to her relationship, which she does on this track by saying “I thought I was a genius, but now I’m 22 and it’s startin’ to feel like all I know how to do is put on a suit and take it away.” The only distinguishable romance song on the album, “The Man with the Axe” is a slightly drowsy but alluring ode to her lover, with lines like “your office job, and your silver hair” implying the subject is her boyfriend Justin Warren, an executive at Universal Music. “This song is about New Zealand, my family, the past, the future.” “I like that the album is bookended by two songs written solely by me,” Lorde wrote for Spotify’s “Storyline” feature. It feels like a glorious, thousand-year-old tree with branches spanning the beauty of family, growth, water and oxygen. “Oceanic Feeling” is a wondrous celebration of life, a perfect closer for this album because it doesn’t feign its optimism or its reverence for the topics it veers into. The opening lines skillfully set the scene of her accepting her song of the year Grammy from Carole King in 2014, which she pinpoints as the moment she knew things would never be the same. Comparing her on again off again relationship with fame to a romance, Lorde asserts she “don’t want that California love” over fittingly Western-sounding drums and guitar. This track gets to the heart of the album’s origins - it all started when she realized she needed to disappear from the spotlight for a while. This song clarifies the point in her life - an overwhelmed young pop star - at which she began the emotional growth journey explored throughout the album. “The Path” is a nice opener for this album, and answers some of the questions opened up by “Solar Power” when it was first released. Lorde Goes Blonde in 'Satirical' Video for New Song 'Mood Ring': Watch Even though its slightly shallow sound is always a little at risk of fading into the background, Solar Power‘s lead single serves as a fun, nourishing look into the emotional high points of the album. “Solar Power” makes a lot more sense now that it’s grounded by the added dimensions of all the other songs on the album.
Lorde harmonizes with herself in stacked, crackling vocal lines - now a certified hallmark of her music - as she fantasizes about being a pop star in a post-apocalyptic society where most of the earth’s environment is unlivable. This track is a quick, just slightly confusing break from the world where most of the other songs on Solar Power take place. “I like that it sounds like how that summer sounded.” “You can hear a lot of sirens because there were a ton of protests that summer,” she wrote for Spotify. Recorded at Electric Lady Studios with the doors open, one cool feature of this track is that some of the ambient noises from outside fill up the background.
“Dominoes” is a pretty little song, it’s just not the one you go back to again and again after hearing it for the first time. Lorde Unleashes New Album ‘Solar Power’: Stream It Nowīelow, Billboard ranks every track on Lorde’s third album:
