    I did a thing:
    How you doing out there?
    You doing alright?
    You keeping up with the little weirdo?
    It's just so nice to be in your city I can't stop saying it, I've had
    such a great time here. Everyone here is so nice
    I wish.. Auckland could get ten percent of your (...)
    It was so nice going out today, I was sitting in the back of a car and I was kinda dozing off. It was very sunny and beautiful. And I thought to myself how lucky I am to be able to fuckin' pop(?) down to Christchurch and have this gorgeous room full of people wanting to hang out with me. Really, it means the world. It seems crazy, but it's been five years since I kind of started thinking maybe I could do this, maybe this is what I'm supposed to do.
    Because I was pretty naughty at school. I was probably hell to teach. The teachers would be in the staff room probably like ugh (...) such a pain in the ass.
    Because I had no outlet, you know? And I never knew what I wanted to do. I couldn't figure it out. I love to write and I love to sing. But I never had hit on it and when I first started writing songs, I would go on my school holidays, because I get to like, you know, obviously, do school and my parents were like okay, you can go off to Morningside on the holidays which is the suburb where I learned to write music. And I would spend every day of the holidays all weekend, like, just, back to back. I would be there for like twelve hours every day. And my parents would pick me up sometimes at night. And I remember just sitting in the passenger seat thinking, like, I could never be more enamored of something. I could never.. it was like this endless puzzle, you know, writing songs, and the most fun thing ever, and the most beautiful thing ever. And I got to take all of my kind of angsty Facebook statuses and all the stuff and put it into this thing that felt so tangible and so permanent.
    And I didn't know it then but..
    It was the love of my life.
    God, I'm sorry I didn't mean to get all emotional.
    But this, getting to show you this, getting to show you what's inside my head, it's my favorite thing in the whole world.
    Hoo! Holy moly! This is, like, my first proper tear on stage. I've never uh.. Oh my, Christchurch, you popped my crying on stage cherry.
    *cute laugh*
    And this is a song that I wrote and it uh.. it was one that marked a real turn for me. When we started writing it, I was afraid of it. I thought it was corny and I was like this is lame. And the Jack was like, this is straight up Bowie chords. I was like, "Oh yeah, okay.
    And uh.. I don't know. I guess I've never written anything about being my own best friend. About learning to take myself out to dinner or sit in my house and bake some good cake. You know, about hanging out on my own, and loving myself and respecting myself. Because it's very important, especially if you're a strange, spiky, multicolored person like I am. I remember a friend of mine called himself an 'acquired taste' and I liked that. I, you know, I mean I guess if you're in this room, you're probably, you know, kind of a bit of an 'acquired taste'. But that means you're magic. That means.. I know who you are, I know how you dream, I know how you think.
    Because you're at this show.
    You're at the, you know.. this is the weird show.
    This is the,uh.. this is the dramatic show.
    This is the overthinking show.
    This is the joy show.
    This is the pain show.
    And we're all here together and I am just so fucking grateful, Christchurch, thank you so much.
    Will you sing this one with me?

    Until I've seen this video, I thought this song is about being sad for always being left behind. Now, I think it's about being comfortable with your ownself. That no matter what the tragedy, there's this inner person that will be with you all through out. Let's take care of ourselves, be it physically, emotionally etc.
    Teenage years has been about self-demolition, now in my twenties, it's about loving myself.

      I'm a bit late , but same. that's the main reason I was so drawn to this song in melodrama. I graduate high school next year and my mom makes me feel like a liability instead of her daughter. Me ending a big chapter in my life is more of a burden to her rather than something she is excited about. I also had to learn to do things on my own and not care in order to survive. best of luck to you, i know how mentally draining it can be.

    *long post. Angsty. Sorry*
    I saw her in Boston last night. I, like many others, literally had a small puddle of tears on the ground from where i was standing. You see, I've been writing music since I was 5. And then I got bullied and emotionally abused by both parents, was homeless, and eventually lost my mom. Basically, I had a shit ton of material to work from. But I only performed an original song about it all at a talent show just weeks ago. I'm 18.
    That bliss, that feeling ella describes, I get it. There are times when it's the only thing I had keeping me going. It's an escape and a diary. A puzzle you desperately want to unravel and understand.
    And when I saw her talking about her growth as an artist and person emotionally, and daring to enter territory so *raw* and so *messy* despite losing approval, and then she *danced* like no one was watching, I realized I wasn't alone! I don't have to hide as an artist! Heck, I was dancing for the first time publicly in 5 years!
    So, all I'm saying is, if you're scared that you're an "aquired taste", *please* keep putting yourself out there, because *maybe* there will be someone who is watching you from the back of the stadium and is crying during a dance song, because you just helped save their life.
    I love you Lorde! Thanks for a wonderful experience!!
