@@MonicaMains lol that is true haha i keep thinking im yr 11 cause im doing online school this year so level 2 ncea or whatever is never talked about so i forgot lol but you're right
haven't watched this in ages but in retrospect it's kind of cool that she barely features in her first music video, so you're just left with the minimalist visuals allowing her vocals and lyrics to take centre stage, reducing the importance of her image as a rising pop figure. obvs they went with the more commercial route for the US version, but still pretty cool that she made her debut with this!
I saw (US Version) by the popular one and immediately went to find the original, other than translation, you shouldn't be changing your art to appeal to the US like that. I get she wanted to go the popstar route but still... Believe it or not, plenty of Americans don't need to see lordes face to like her songs... 😅❤. I wanna see the art how the creator intended
Comrade, I was gonna say.... isn't the nostalgia TOO painful? Are you also in your mid 20s and high school class of 2015? I remember listening to this song in junior year study hall in 2013. God I miss 17 year old me. I can't listen to this song too much because it triggers memories of high school intensely. This is the anthem of being young/broke/pissing around with friends and not caring. This is the anthem of nostalgia. It brings makes me remember friends I used to have that aren't around anymore. Do you miss how ideal you were? Does this make you want to go back?
I will never forget how my addiction to this song gave me a good result in class. I was 12 when our teacher asked us to write a literary piece, something about the world, and add some tune. May it be original or from an existing song. So I used Royals' tune. I sang it in class. It perfectly suit my written piece and received a good compliment from my teacher. HAHAHA. JustSharing.

this music video just describes how teenagers have changed so much than before, and i really love how she showed that most teenagers suffer with mental illnesses and loneliness, she just put so much effort in this video.

i remember when i randomly started singing this in class because someone accidently snapped the beat with their fingers and almost the whole class joined in. My teacher was so confused - i'll never forget this - (Edit: damn y’all need to chill😭✋🏽 it actually happened- this song was everywhere at that time- we were singing for only like 20 secs and moved on with class afterwards but it’s still such a great memory pls don’t ruin it for me-thank you, have a great day n’ stay safe y’all)
@@joeypierantonis7576 what are you implying? Nostalgia means a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy and *personal* associations. So basically this song was released some years ago, and listening to this makes me remember happy memories during that period of time. So what you just said made no sense to me.
Lorde's my inspiration in life. Despite being a 45 year old geologist which would seem out of touch with the modern world, she still pursues a music career, and is very open minded and a great role model! :)
I used to hear this song a lot on tv back when I didn't understand a lot of english, now I understand the meaning of the song, and I love it. Enjoying the simple life.
I first paid attention to this song when my granddaughters were singing along to it on the radio. They knew every word. I gotta admit, it sounded better than the crap being played on the pop stations at the time. I asked them who is the singer. They said it was Lorde...I remember I replied, shaking my head, "Jesus"...😂...but seriously, I couldn't believe a sixteen year girl was singing it. The lyrics were deep.
I absolutely adore the way Lorde has made it so big in the pop industry, yet her videos are so truly artistic. It's just so sad that so few people viewing this will understand how truly brilliant it is. But film enthusiasts will get it.
My favourite modern artist I remember hearing song constantly on the radio when I was little, it’s so nostalgic to me. Not to mention, it’s got a good message!
Escutava essa jóia quando era criança, que nostalgia!!! 🔥💯 Contínua a mesma perfeição, todas as vezes que escuto pareçe ser pela primeira vez ❤ Quem mais está ouvindo? 💖
10 years of royals and wow this song CHANGED the world (literally), reading the description feels like an email she send us sometimes lol i love this girl so much thanks for being so special, ella xx
"a lot of people think teenagers live in this world like 'skins' every weekend or whatever, but truth is, half the time we aren't doing anything cooler than playing with lighters, or waiting at some shitty stop." I'm getting to the point where society considers me old but I've always been perplexed by the romanticization of youth in society, because when I was a teenager and I would hear older people remark how great it must be, I was like "LOL, I have no car , no money and no work experience and have no f'ing idea how to get any of it". If we were really lucky, my friend and I could find enough change in the couch cushions and the washing machine to make a late night run in his car that had a milk carton for a passenger seat, to Denny's to buy an appetizer to share. That was the climax of our coolness.
baby boomers hold this peculiar envy toward us millennium machines of humans, I love how Bobby Moynihan actually portrays “drunk uncle” at thanksgiving dinner (and because SNL is my childhood melancholic seCret pleasure). They are such greedy, crotchety and all around jaded people who like to look down on us for our gifted technological (dis)abilities. I say all of this as I’m commenting on my 56-year old adoptive father’s iPad lmao, but my overly extended metaphor just directs us to the point that we Y2K kids are kind of like superhuman robots taking away the job force. Like come on you old “con”servative bastards, we get that you like Trump, but fuck that dude who thinks that you can tame a woman by grabbing her “by the pussy”. As an 18 year old woman I was hoping to vote in our nation’s primary midterm election this year (AND FOR A WOMAN FOr FUCKS SAKE besides that crazy old epileptic bat Hillary she would croak a few days in litigation of senate). I vote HARPO WINFREY FOR THE WIN. I’m just a female version of Josh Peck
Before you say that this song sucks or that its about how she just wants to be queen or something, take a minute listen to the lyrics. The lyrics directly critizises the pop-music industry. That most popular songs are unrelatable because they're about luxury and fame and that most people isn't famous or that rich. Peace out and enjoy this masterpiece!
It takes natural talent to write songs like this at any age let alone as a kid. Don Mclean wrote Vincent at age 26 and Loggins wrote Danny's Song at 23. Lord took it to a new level with this one.
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies And I'm not proud of my address, In a torn-up town, no postcode envy But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room, We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams. But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece. Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash. We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair. And we'll never be royals (royals). It don't run in our blood, That kind of luxe just ain't for us. We crave a different kind of buzz. Let me be your ruler (ruler), You can call me queen Bee And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule. Let me live that fantasy. [Verse 2] My friends and I-we've cracked the code. We count our dollars on the train to the party. And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this, We didn't come from money. But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom. Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room, We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams. But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece. Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair And we'll never be royals (royals). It don't run in our blood That kind of luxe just ain't for us.

Ooh ooh oh We're bigger than we ever dreamed, And I'm in love with being queen. Ooh ooh oh Life is great without a care We aren't caught up in your love affair. And we'll never be royals (royals). It don't run in our blood That kind of luxe just ain't for us. We crave a different kind of buzz Let me be your ruler (ruler), You can call me queen Bee And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule. Let me live that fantasy.
This song was always on the radio on the bus to my old elementary school. I feel like I'm back on that bus, watching the boys toss footballs and the girls screaming about random things. I used to love this song. It's still great to this day 😤👌👌
I didn't think she was amazing because she is ""unique"" or different..I was in my car and heard the following lyrics..."we're driving cadillacs in our dreams..and we'll never be royals..it don't run in our blood""...that was all I heard and I NEEDED to hear it all...she is amazing...and she is so young...remember she is 17..!!! and already a refreshing, new, amazing talent...I hope she earns millions
So because it is unique and she doesn't get half naked that makes her deserve it? you people are screwed, this song is not that good and this is proof that music continues down a spiral of crap
clayton eigler Musik business was always filled with crap. You just don't remember the crappy music from back in the days, because like all bad music, it's not ment to stay ;-)
This song is basically a commentary about all the current pop songs and how they don't reflect life at all. They all seem to be about living these amazing lives, throwing amazing parties, but Lorde is just talking about how shes fine without all that stuff. Thats why this appeals to a lot of people and awards shows love things that challenge authority/current trends

That brought me here :D But damn, I have to admitt, it´s different to all the shitty fu***g pop music out there. Only talking about Butts, Money and being a star.
Ok, honestly I re-discovered this song, several years after hearing it, because I was watching South Park. Had never seen the video before now. But I LOVE it. I can relate so much more than I could when I heard this on the radio years ago. Lovelovelove this. ❤❤❤
Great song it's honestly real as fuck the artist is like dissing every mainstream shit and she actually got her real music on the radio I fucking love it . Her voice has all the attention the beat is simple
BEST SONG EVER! :D but everyone knows that it will go away then no one will remember her and that is what happens to EVERY singer/rapper. But most of the people that have been forgotten are really good!

"...stuck in quarantine." LOLOLOL Critical thinking required (as opposed to swallowing that which is spoon-fed). Anyway, the info is out there, one just needs to WANT to find it. Good luck with quarantine.
just wanna say i loved you 8 years ago and i still love you 8 years later. thank you ella for your music ! i’m forever grateful to live in this lifetime where you exist you magical being ! i can’t wait for the next album
i cant stand the music that are out there today like on the radio and the billboards. usually a Metal, Rock, Classic, Jazz kinda guy. but i have been taking a real liking to Lorde! she is amazing. She is not just another brick in the wall in today's music scene.
Jazz? da faq dude classic? mindblown! please! she has "something" new but please don't tell me that she's an innovator, don't compare with CLASSICS (not only Chopin, included rock classic: Pink Floyd?) or Jazz (what kind of crap did you call Jazz now?) so, I know that this is a good critic from your part to her, but express yourself right about the "kind" of music that sounds now (actually the most of them crap).
Precisely, she's got a classically trained voice (at 16 I doubt she's had training) a truly natural gift! And she writes all of her own lyrics, which are outstanding! And the beat and small band sound are all very catchy! :) -- She most likely will be going places! -- As long as she is not too wooed by the $$$ and changes her style too much! :)
Lupita J.A. just because i like classical music (or any other music for that matter) doesn't mean i am comparing her to any legendary artists in that particular genre. i am not really a fan of any music out there today. not the popular ones or "big" artist that gets played over and over and over. And she WRITES her own songs! is that too much to ask from an artist? This girl has impressed me. i didn't say she was innovative btw, i said she was unique and not like the other stuff that is out there. and btw, who does not love some smooth jazz? when referring to jazz i was more referring to "jazzy" rock bands kind of stuff.
I still remember when this song was released, I always sing it as the lyrics is so relatable. good old days. until this day, this song is still one of the best songs. this song is gold
The first time I heard this was blasting over a valley in BC. Vince had absolutely massive speakers, and we used every spare watt of power. Some Indy station was playing it six months before anyone else.
I Love the fact that Lorde is just like me and most normal teenagers, I think she is the best new Artist out there having ago at the fake and corporation run artists she is Urban as it gets she is my Kind of women!
she is, im 35 i love her and her message to the teens and the fake and corp. run artist also....she speaks what i knew in my late teens early twenties and what me and my friends did n knew back then, hate the new rappers whatever n the stuff she says they sing about exactly who cares....lol
I was young when this song came out and still am but I would cry because it would remind me of my grandpa that passed away and I would hear this song around the same time
the fact that there is in one video SUCH A NUMBER of easter eggs drives me crazy like yeah Lorde shake that ass omg - we can hear at the beggining the theme of Biting Down - all the guys in the video have a buzzcut, it refers then to Buzzcut Season. we can also notice some scenes with a pool. it refers too to Buzzcut Season (so we live beside the pool, where everything is good). - the scene where the boy looks in the mirror at his bloody teeth can be an easter egg of White Teeth Teens. - at the end of the video there is a tennis court and the "yeah!" from Tennis Court.
Very nice to see a song in the charts where the lyrics actually have an insightful meaning and observation to life, used to happen often once. Also congrats on the Voafone Awards - Thanks from a proud fellow Kiwi
For most of the song yeah, it really isn't that much except the drums and singing. It's really cool how she made such an awesome song with such little, but during the chorus there is harmony. Just by adding the bass, (I think there also might be a pitched drum) it adds harmony by contrasting with what she is singing, 2 notes is enough to add harmonic movement. I actually think it's interesting that this is what she chose to do, because I think it's actually a very clever and fitting artistic choice, think about it. The song is about living a simple, care free and minimalistic lifestyle. I think that's the point of the music, there isn't that much to it, but it's enough to make people enjoy it :)
Dago Raul Aguirre Godoy there was no need for that. I was praising her for it. You should be more careful with the things you say to others on the internet. That was very unkind and rude of you. Was it really necessary to say such hurtful things on a comment that wasn’t negative at all?
Thanks so much for the personal message you left for us in the information section. What we need more than anything right now is to know we are not alone. You are a great role model-especially for young women-and you are a beautiful inspiration to us all. Thank you for that and for sharing your exquisite art with us.
im sorry. this generation is nothing like her. This generation is about being fucken thick shits, and she is far from it. This generation is a disgrace.
CharlieTV SHHHHHhhh Don't tell them that! lol. So far she is the most successful of the generation in the industry which is really amazing and unexpected. There's not even really a bad representation yet... But I am sure in the next few years the shit heads will show and the next boy band will rise

It’s a crime that this video has 73 millions views, this song should have well over 1 billion views
the other clip has more than 800 million haha
There's an American version
its going to be over 1 billion views by the end of quarintine XD

@@raizereaper4697 no but for everyone that is
I will never forget how my addiction to this song gave me a good result in class. I was 12 when our teacher asked us to write a literary piece, something about the world, and add some tune. May it be original or from an existing song. So I used Royals' tune. I sang it in class. It perfectly suit my written piece and received a good compliment from my teacher. HAHAHA. JustSharing.
I so wish we got to do that

post your lyrics
here are mine
New Wavered 22-09-16
I've never seen Bill shorten in the flesh
I cut my teeth on Labors cop outs and made up stories
And I'm the butt of their latest mess
And in the waste of their facebook space there'll be no glory
'Cause every post is like:
We don't want
A dangerous
Divisive plebiscite
We want a
Commission
But we need the cops' permission
We don't care, we're driving steaks into them in our dreams
And everybody's like:
What's that got
To do
With the floods in SA
You've got
Tunnel vision
Selfish agenda
I don't care, I'm not caught up in their love affair
And the cops are disloyal (disloyal)
It's running in their blood
That kind of lux is not for me, I get sent to the sanctuary
And Paul Cridge is the ruler (ruler)
Scaring everyone
And having so much fun
Living in his fantasy
I cracked the code so long ago
When I went to Rebecca's flat, to have a coffee
And everyone who knows her knows
That she's not real good when it comes to being a detective
'Cause she was like:
Jacquie had
An accident
In the bed
She made
A real mess
But I didn't care
I cleaned it up, and told Jacquie not to worry
And I'm like:
I'm not gonna
Tell you
About my experience
I'm just
Taking note
Of this cowardly ubiquitous
I got told not "TO MOVE", but I had to do a poo
My underpants became soiled (soiled)
The shit ran out my crack
When I got home I had a bath, but is wasn't cause to laugh
She told me I was disgusting
And she was like the queen bee
And she ruled, she ruled, she ruled
And I was trappped in her misery

this music video just describes how teenagers have changed so much than before, and i really love how she showed that most teenagers suffer with mental illnesses and loneliness, she just put so much effort in this video.
Also this song and video teases many of the songs of "pure heroine"
Teenagers just waiting to be sucked into the mind control trap of modern society. 'Mental illness' is just your instincts fighting back.
Lyrics
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address
In the torn-up town, no post code envy
But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your time piece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair
And we'll never be royals (royals)
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler)
You can call me Queen Bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
Let me live that fantasy
My friends and I? We've cracked the code
We count our dollars on the train to the party
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this
We didn't come from money
But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your time piece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care we aren't caught up in your love affair
And we'll never be royals (royals)
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler)
You can call me Queen Bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
Let me live that fantasy
Oooh ooooh ohhh
We're bigger than we ever dreamed
And I'm in love with being queen
Oooooh ooooh ohhhhh
Life is great without a care
We aren't caught up in your love affair
And we'll never be royals (royals)
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler)
You can call me Queen Bee

I like- no- I *love* how everyone just decided to listen to nostalgic music while on quarantine.
nostalgic? WTF? oh you werent born yet! sothe doors are beethOVEN. AND BEETHOVEN WERNT MADE YET CUZ GOD wasnt born. man time flies.
cool joint? when the album drop? love that Bille del RAY RAY dude.
@@joeypierantonis7576 what are you implying? Nostalgia means a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy and *personal* associations.
So basically this song was released some years ago, and listening to this makes me remember happy memories during that period of time. So what you just said made no sense to me.

Bruh quarantine really be making people go back to some epic old songs.
yessss
You got that right
you mean the 70s?
Lorde's my inspiration in life. Despite being a 45 year old geologist which would seem out of touch with the modern world, she still pursues a music career, and is very open minded and a great role model! :)
Yah Randy!
Ya Ya Ya!
and now we PUSH
yayaya
Lorde Lorde ya ya ya xD
You meant she is a 45 year-old geologist?
I used to hear this song a lot on tv back when I didn't understand a lot of english, now I understand the meaning of the song, and I love it. Enjoying the simple life.
I first paid attention to this song when my granddaughters were singing along to it on the radio. They knew every word. I gotta admit, it sounded better than the crap being played on the pop stations at the time. I asked them who is the singer. They said it was Lorde...I remember I replied, shaking my head, "Jesus"...😂...but seriously, I couldn't believe a sixteen year girl was singing it. The lyrics were deep.
@Sugetsu Natsuomi bad ass boomer
Well most of her audience are teenagers.
And also teenagers tend to be the ones who listen to deep songs, especially girls.
@@randomhooman9505 how can you say that
@@mitalisarkar3941 pay them no mind
I absolutely adore the way Lorde has made it so big in the pop industry, yet her videos are so truly artistic. It's just so sad that so few people viewing this will understand how truly brilliant it is. But film enthusiasts will get it.
What is the difference between this one and the US version. Can someone please tell me??
That was my question too.
DivaGoyal this one has less of her and more guys
DivaGoyal sound in us version is a bit more muted
DivaGoyal
DivaGoyal the end, starting at 3:30
This is a great groove that doesn't sound overproduced!!! Great vocal harmony! Way better than the US version.
whats the diff even, i listened to both and i hear no diff lol
@@ari_archer something is different, her vocals stand out more than the US version, bass and drums are crunchier
@@theju3939 idk i dont see anything, but eh
@@ari_archer the US version has lower volume... That's it
@@asa_rayder lmao
It was this that made me respect Lorde. She is more of an artist than an entertainer.
InsomniacMike486 i agree with that
couldn't agree more
I prefer this version purely because it's louder
Ruben Toder i thought i was the only one
You too!!? Same
Ruben Toder what’s the difference to US version and this one? (Lol other than volume)
@@hotmllf3418 the boys are the focus of the clip. In the US commercial version, she is the focus.
This version is what LORDE desired. The USA version is thr commercial one
THIS SONG NEVER GETS OLD!! 💥
My favourite modern artist
I remember hearing song constantly on the radio when I was little, it’s so nostalgic to me. Not to mention, it’s got a good message!
Escutava essa jóia quando era criança, que nostalgia!!! 🔥💯 Contínua a mesma perfeição, todas as vezes que escuto pareçe ser pela primeira vez ❤ Quem mais está ouvindo? 💖
There are only few songs/movies which can take you back to certain phase of your life. This is one of those songs.
We can all safely say that we've all seen a diamond in the flesh thanks to Lil Uzi Vert

"So much to come", indeed. Thinking about how much has happened since then, it feels surreal. We've been there, and we'll continue to be forever.
That’s the beautiful thing about music, no matter what your use to hearing, everyone knows a hit when they hear one ✅
Thank you LORDE 💙
Still one of the best Songs I've ever heard.
Still *the best song I have ever heard
@@enaam69 nerver heard any queen or pink floyd song?
You only listen to pop?
"a lot of people think teenagers live in this world like 'skins' every weekend or whatever, but truth is, half the time we aren't doing anything cooler than playing with lighters, or waiting at some shitty stop." I'm getting to the point where society considers me old but I've always been perplexed by the romanticization of youth in society, because when I was a teenager and I would hear older people remark how great it must be, I was like "LOL, I have no car , no money and no work experience and have no f'ing idea how to get any of it". If we were really lucky, my friend and I could find enough change in the couch cushions and the washing machine to make a late night run in his car that had a milk carton for a passenger seat, to Denny's to buy an appetizer to share. That was the climax of our coolness.
+SepherStar Ha, I love this comment!
+SepherStar this now is reality!!
SepherStar amen😕
Two years on and damn, spot on.
baby boomers hold this peculiar envy toward us millennium machines of humans, I love how Bobby Moynihan actually portrays “drunk uncle” at thanksgiving dinner (and because SNL is my childhood melancholic seCret pleasure). They are such greedy, crotchety and all around jaded people who like to look down on us for our gifted technological (dis)abilities. I say all of this as I’m commenting on my 56-year old adoptive father’s iPad lmao, but my overly extended metaphor just directs us to the point that we Y2K kids are kind of like superhuman robots taking away the job force. Like come on you old “con”servative bastards, we get that you like Trump, but fuck that dude who thinks that you can tame a woman by grabbing her “by the pussy”. As an 18 year old woman I was hoping to vote in our nation’s primary midterm election this year (AND FOR A WOMAN FOr FUCKS SAKE besides that crazy old epileptic bat Hillary she would croak a few days in litigation of senate). I vote HARPO WINFREY FOR THE WIN. I’m just a female version of Josh Peck
Before you say that this song sucks or that its about how she just wants to be queen or something, take a minute listen to the lyrics. The lyrics directly critizises the pop-music industry. That most popular songs are unrelatable because they're about luxury and fame and that most people isn't famous or that rich. Peace out and enjoy this masterpiece!
This song is special,I could play it back to back to back, she did her thing! Just amazing art at such young age, what a real HIT
It takes natural talent to write songs like this at any age let alone as a kid. Don Mclean wrote Vincent at age 26 and Loggins wrote Danny's Song at 23. Lord took it to a new level with this one.
This is not the original version (never too late to learn sumthin)😉

i came here after 6 years listening to this song out of curiosity.
What were you curious of?
@@calebwaters9144 idk I was just curious for no reason lol
@Martina Agaba yes
I can after 6 years too an I was 7 when I heard this song I'm 13 now
One of the seminal albums of the the last decade. Lorde you left us drooling for more. All good Queen.
This song was always on the radio on the bus to my old elementary school. I feel like I'm back on that bus, watching the boys toss footballs and the girls screaming about random things.
I used to love this song. It's still great to this day 😤👌👌
Don't know why this got a Grammy. It's not bad but not THAT good. But who I am to judge the judge ;)
I didn't think she was amazing because she is ""unique"" or different..I was in my car and heard the following lyrics..."we're driving cadillacs in our dreams..and we'll never be royals..it don't run in our blood""...that was all I heard and I NEEDED to hear it all...she is amazing...and she is so young...remember she is 17..!!! and already a refreshing, new, amazing talent...I hope she earns millions
Because unlike most the shit coming out now, she didn't need to get naked, she didn't need to twerk, and surprisingly, there is a message behind it.
So because it is unique and she doesn't get half naked that makes her deserve it? you people are screwed, this song is not that good and this is proof that music continues down a spiral of crap
clayton eigler Musik business was always filled with crap. You just don't remember the crappy music from back in the days, because like all bad music, it's not ment to stay ;-)
This song is basically a commentary about all the current pop songs and how they don't reflect life at all. They all seem to be about living these amazing lives, throwing amazing parties, but Lorde is just talking about how shes fine without all that stuff. Thats why this appeals to a lot of people and awards shows love things that challenge authority/current trends

I was a dumb kid !! i used to don't like Lorde's songs.. But now as i'm grown, i know the meanings of her songsss..!! N she's just amazing!!
Ok, honestly I re-discovered this song, several years after hearing it, because I was watching South Park. Had never seen the video before now. But I LOVE it. I can relate so much more than I could when I heard this on the radio years ago. Lovelovelove this. ❤❤❤

relieving to see a talented female artist not stripping in her videos.
Great song it's honestly real as fuck the artist is like dissing every mainstream shit and she actually got her real music on the radio I fucking love it . Her voice has all the attention the beat is simple
this song IS mainstream shit
So, she was like a pre Macklemore?
the vibe of this song is surreal
BEST SONG EVER! :D but everyone knows that it will go away then no one will remember her and that is what happens to EVERY singer/rapper. But most of the people that have been forgotten are really good!

That she's not real good when it comes to being a detective
'Cause she was like:
Jacquie had
An accident
In the bed
She made
A real mess
But I didn't care
I cleaned it up, and told Jacquie not to worry
And I'm like:
I'm not gonna
Tell you
About my experience
I'm just
Taking note
Of this cowardly ubiquitous
I got told not "TO MOVE", but I had to do a poo
My underpants became soiled (soiled)
The shit ran out my crack
When I got home I had a bath, but is wasn't cause to laugh
She told me I was disgusting
And she was like the queen bee
And she ruled, she ruled, she ruled
And I was trappped in her misery
"...stuck in quarantine." LOLOLOL Critical thinking required (as opposed to swallowing that which is spoon-fed). Anyway, the info is out there, one just needs to WANT to find it.
Good luck with quarantine.
just wanna say i loved you 8 years ago and i still love you 8 years later. thank you ella for your music ! i’m forever grateful to live in this lifetime where you exist you magical being ! i can’t wait for the next album
I am not a teenageres I'm 53 but I like your music .renew my soul
i cant stand the music that are out there today like on the radio and the billboards. usually a Metal, Rock, Classic, Jazz kinda guy. but i have been taking a real liking to Lorde! she is amazing. She is not just another brick in the wall in today's music scene.
Jazz? da faq dude classic? mindblown! please! she has "something" new but please don't tell me that she's an innovator, don't compare with CLASSICS (not only Chopin, included rock classic: Pink Floyd?) or Jazz (what kind of crap did you call Jazz now?) so, I know that this is a good critic from your part to her, but express yourself right about the "kind" of music that sounds now (actually the most of them crap).
Precisely, she's got a classically trained voice (at 16 I doubt she's had training) a truly natural gift! And she writes all of her own lyrics, which are outstanding! And the beat and small band sound are all very catchy! :) -- She most likely will be going places! -- As long as she is not too wooed by the $$$ and changes her style too much! :)
Lupita J.A.
just because i like classical music (or any other music for that matter) doesn't mean i am comparing her to any legendary artists in that particular genre. i am not really a fan of any music out there today. not the popular ones or "big" artist that gets played over and over and over. And she WRITES her own songs! is that too much to ask from an artist? This girl has impressed me. i didn't say she was innovative btw, i said she was unique and not like the other stuff that is out there. and btw, who does not love some smooth jazz? when referring to jazz i was more referring to "jazzy" rock bands kind of stuff.
Before Billie Eilish, we had Lorde.
The description got me crying. 😭😭
That description is way too relatable
we have Avril Lavigne first
why lorde? , is she teenagers too?
Graeme Henderson you dont know music and the spelling😂
Graeme Henderson want milk? you might be crying🤣🤣
I still remember when this song was released, I always sing it as the lyrics is so relatable. good old days. until this day, this song is still one of the best songs. this song is gold
This song is so popular that even the 70s/80s station is playing it O_O
IDC really, I love it :D
I likey.
how does this comment not have a reply
TWICE in likey
Yeah
i will forever love this song .
The first time I heard this was blasting over a valley in BC. Vince had absolutely massive speakers, and we used every spare watt of power. Some Indy station was playing it six months before anyone else.
I Love the fact that Lorde is just like me and most normal teenagers, I think she is the best new Artist out there having ago at the fake and corporation run artists she is Urban as it gets she is my Kind of women!
she is, im 35 i love her and her message to the teens and the fake and corp. run artist also....she speaks what i knew in my late teens early twenties and what me and my friends did n knew back then, hate the new rappers whatever n the stuff she says they sing about exactly who cares....lol
i guess am one of the few people who loved her south park apperance but was already a fan because of her music
***** Same! so many butthurt people complaining about that episode haha
Haha lol me too stans dad is LORDE
ya, loved it... hey, me too!
btw, I like how positively she reacted to her south park episode
it was awesome
+nextReanimation She appeared in a South Park episode? Which one?
Lorde is a gem. A drug without lows.
This song brings me a lot of nostalgia. Probably more than any other song out there. Im a teen that listened to this song when I was a little kid.
I honestly prefer this video to the U.S. version. It definitely sends the message of the song much better.
True.
im only here because its louder
I was young when this song came out and still am but I would cry because it would remind me of my grandpa that passed away and I would hear this song around the same time
24,510 rich people disliked this song
Miriam Cummins 😂😂
Miriam Cummins 25k
No not me i am an imperial boy so the song is kinda fitting😂
Miriam Cummins
Mmi
Miriam Cummins this song just sucks
I KNOW THIS BY HARD I ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG
the fact that there is in one video SUCH A NUMBER of easter eggs drives me crazy like yeah Lorde shake that ass omg
- we can hear at the beggining the theme of Biting Down
- all the guys in the video have a buzzcut, it refers then to Buzzcut Season. we can also notice some scenes with a pool. it refers too to Buzzcut Season (so we live beside the pool, where everything is good).
- the scene where the boy looks in the mirror at his bloody teeth can be an easter egg of White Teeth Teens.
- at the end of the video there is a tennis court and the "yeah!" from Tennis Court.
Ooooff
totalement mdrrrr
HAHAHA deep
3:20 is an easter egg for 400 lux "i love the streets where the houses don't change"
Okay ik u got an A in literary analysis
Very nice to see a song in the charts where the lyrics actually have an insightful meaning and observation to life, used to happen often once. Also congrats on the Voafone Awards - Thanks from a proud fellow Kiwi
2020, this song will always b my favourite and my memory reminder aswell.
If you're listening to this masterpiece in 2023 you'll never be royals
I miss not worrying about everything and just blasting this on full volume.
This girl is literally singing over just rhythm, like no chords or anything. Idk if I’m wrong but it seems that way to me.
Dago Raul Aguirre Godoy that’s on period !.
@@dagoaguirre3520 You need to chill my dude. Get some sleep or smthng geez
For most of the song yeah, it really isn't that much except the drums and singing. It's really cool how she made such an awesome song with such little, but during the chorus there is harmony. Just by adding the bass, (I think there also might be a pitched drum) it adds harmony by contrasting with what she is singing, 2 notes is enough to add harmonic movement.
I actually think it's interesting that this is what she chose to do, because I think it's actually a very clever and fitting artistic choice, think about it. The song is about living a simple, care free and minimalistic lifestyle. I think that's the point of the music, there isn't that much to it, but it's enough to make people enjoy it :)
Graeme Henderson I was praising her for it... I was pointing it out because it had amazed me and I didn’t realize it before when I was younger.
Dago Raul Aguirre Godoy there was no need for that. I was praising her for it. You should be more careful with the things you say to others on the internet. That was very unkind and rude of you. Was it really necessary to say such hurtful things on a comment that wasn’t negative at all?
It's been years and I still find the song and the MV aesthetically satisfying
Thanks so much for the personal message you left for us in the information section. What we need more than anything right now is to know we are not alone. You are a great role model-especially for young women-and you are a beautiful inspiration to us all. Thank you for that and for sharing your exquisite art with us.
Minimal music
It's been 6 years? We're getting so old, I just wann go back in time and relive this nostalgic feeling :(
Hey, Lorde - you're cool. I've just read the description, and you're way cooler than I could've ever imagined. Kudos.
The nostalgia with this song all I remember was the rainbow loom era
Im not a royal fan of lorde,but the people who dislike this song is stupid. this is perfect.
Why is that?
She hates this song.
Who is here in 2024?
🫂😭
WEEEEEE
Guilty ❤
🙋
Puddles pity party.
In so many ways lorde represents our entire generation. And it's bad ass.
As a part of this generation I distance myself from this statement.
TheSinisterPress Who else is there exactly?
im sorry. this generation is nothing like her. This generation is about being fucken thick shits, and she is far from it. This generation is a disgrace.
Natalie Holland well, not for you. you seem cute, so i would use that word. cute
CharlieTV SHHHHHhhh Don't tell them that! lol. So far she is the most successful of the generation in the industry which is really amazing and unexpected. There's not even really a bad representation yet... But I am sure in the next few years the shit heads will show and the next boy band will rise
