    The music on Lorde's 'Melodrama' reflects the wealth of emotions the New Zealand native has experienced of late, and they’re rendered with the kind of poise we’ve come to expect from the pop superstar. Her voice, the melodies, the arrangements she’s chosen to help landscape her feelings - this critically-acclaimed second album is particularly fetching because the 20-year-old singer trusts her idiosyncrasies to fuel her eloquence. “Let’s let things come out of the woodwork,” she coos on “Homemade Dynamite.” That’s what makes the six performances of ‘Vevo X Lorde’ so powerful as well. All her best ideas naturally seep to the surface. Filmed at Electric Lady Sound Studios in New York’s West Village, the mid-August session found Lorde moving through key songs from ‘Melodrama,’ providing each with the proper temperament for the occasion. The set list features “The Louvre,” “Sober,” “Writer In The Dark,” “Supercut,” “Homemade Dynamite,” and “Hard Feelings”/ “Loveless” - she chose to spotlight some of the album’s most vivid moments. Whether backed by a small ensemble, playing the piano alone, or singing a cappella with a squad of vocalists and a beatbox, she brings invention and intensity to the performances. The soft addition of strings and brass adds to the show’s intimacy, and the drama that she’s built a rep on is central to every moment. Jack Antonoff of Bleachers, who produced and co-wrote parts of ‘Melodrama,’ arrives on “Writer In The Dark” to support his pal as well.

    Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    Break the news-you're walking out
    To be a good man for someone else
    Sorry I was never good like you
    Stood on my chest and kept me down
    Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd
    Did my best to exist just for you
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
    Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
    Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
    Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
    [Chorus]
    I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
    I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
    But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
    I'll find a way to be without you, babe
    [Verse 2]
    I still feel you, now and then
    Slow like pseudo-ephedrine
    When you see me, will you say I've changed?
    I ride the subway, read the signs
    I let the seasons change my mind
    I love it here since I’ve stopped needing you
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
    Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
    Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
    Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
    [Chorus]
    I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
    I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
    But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
    I'll find a way to be without you, babe
    I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
    I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
    But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
    I'll find a way to be without you, babe

      You know, I don't listen to many modern artists. I'm mostly into British 60s/70s Rock, my favourite bands are Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Jam and other than that Nirvana. Modern Pop music is absolutely not my genre.
      I love music with a passion. When I listen to music, I listen to every single aspect of it, I will get crazy over great guitarists (I lose my mind every time I listen to Jimmy Page), I pay attention to how albums are structured (especially with Pink Floyd). I keep losing my mind over good music again and again, but one thing I never do is crying. And I cry a lot. And I cry very often when I am watching movies. But I never cry when I listen to music.
      That's why I was surprised when I started crying during this video. I had learned to appreciate Lorde a while ago, I Iove Melodrama and Writer in the Dark is my favourite song by her. But this version really took me by surprise. The pain in her voice overwhelmed me and tears started running down my cheeks. This is art. This is beautiful. A massive experience.

    I love how the song starts with anger, she's mad when she says "bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark" and her voice Is on a very low note and then, then in the chorus she realize she's not mad or with bad intentions (i am my mother's child)...she stills is that pure little girl and all that anger comes from the love that she ever had for that person. A person she still loves but needs to learn how to live without and also the notes here are higher which makes it more angelical and sad. I simply love it

      I believe she is talking bout the other entity who really exist as Lorde and not Ella that’s why she saying she kissed a writer in the dark the writer in the dark channels magic through her to create the beautiful music with her beautiful voice she is meant to be heard but not in that light the music industry is a dark magic trap and false dream this is why she says she her mothers child as in her mom is who would have any power over if anyone would and this is why she doesn’t release music go look at her Instagram the last pic on her page shows the entity she had to kill Lorde to save her soul listen to her music closely she speaks on it “ mellodrama “ she said she loved it for 3 years now she fake it everyday because she woke up realize this isn’t fun she understands what the people do y’all have to wake up to this matrix no one from a New Zealand suburb blows up over night it’s hard to do that in America and her music actually grabs you

      She basically is saying she made a deal in exchange for fame and fortune not because of greed but because they was in they darkest hour she found the secret power the government don’t tell you bout bruh lol y’all gotta understand if not y’all will never at this point but see this “ writer in the dark “ she “ kissed “ actually has control over her body as long as “ Lorde “ exist because ella didn’t want all of the bs that comes with a demon she just wanted help but was trick by the world into thinking that’s what she want and she can’t come out and say this crazy shit or they would destroy her so she left clues

      Agree, I will literally feel so different in different seasons. My mood and behavior change so much based on the weather or just how other people act when its cold or warm outside. I actually love it and it's something I hold onto. My favorite seasons are fall and winter and I'm super excited summer is almost over haha. I'm 18 btw but I don't think age plays too much of a part in this. Yeah, over the years you gain experience of how your mind can change when it's a different season but that can still go for a 10 year old, a 20 year old, or a 60 year old. I learned over time that the age thing isn't a big deal in terms of experience. But it does play a factor in mindset; MAJORLY.

    Pure gold ❤️

    Lyrics
    Break the news, you're walking out
    To be a good man for someone else
    Sorry I was never good like you
    Stood on my chest and kept me down
    Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd
    Did my best to exist just for you
    Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
    Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
    Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
    Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
    I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
    I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
    But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
    I'll find a way to be without you, babe
    I still feel you, now and then
    Slow like pseudo-ephedrine
    When you see me, will you say I've changed?
    I ride the subway, read the signs
    I let the seasons change my mind
    I love it here since I've stopped needing you
    Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
    Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
    Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
    Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
    I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
    I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
    But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
    I'll find a way to be without you, babe
    I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
    I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
    But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
    I'll find a way to be without you, babe

    i always come back to this video because it makes me feel a certain type of inexplicable way. this, combined with the 6 other vevo x lorde are great to put on in the background while you fall asleep. here's something she said anout writing pop music:
    “It’s about distilling emotions down to their sleekest, shiniest and simplest form,” she says. “And if you do that successfully, it’s like shooting up the cleanest drug imaginable. It’s not cut with anything; it’s so simple it just goes straight to your brain.”
