Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I do my makeup in somebody else's car
We order different drinks at the same bars
I know about what you did and I wanna scream the truth
She thinks you love the beach, you're such a damn liar
[Refrain]
Well those great whites, they have big teeth
Hope they bite you
Thought you said that you would always be in love
But you're not in love no more
Did it frighten you
How we kissed when we danced on the light up floor?
On the light up floor
[Pre-Chorus]
But I hear sounds in my mind
Brand new sounds in my mind
But honey I'll be seein' you wherever I go
But honey I'll be seein' you down every road
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
[Chorus]
'Cause honey I'll come get my things, but I can't let go
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
Oh, I wish I could get my things and just let go
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I wake up in a different bedroom
I whisper things, the city sings 'em back to you
[Refrain]
Well those rumors, they have big teeth
Hope they bite you
Thought you said that you would always be in love
But you're not in love no more
Did it frighten you
How we kissed when we danced on the light up floor?
On the light up floor
[Pre-Chorus]
But I hear sounds in my mind
Brand new sounds in my mind
But honey I'll be seein' you wherever I go
But honey I'll be seein' you down every road
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
[Chorus]
'Cause honey I'll come get my things, but I can't let go
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
Oh, honey I'll come get my things, but I can't let go
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
Yes, honey I'll come get my things, but I can't let go
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
Oh, I wish I could get my things and just let go
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
[Outro]
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it"
why is lorde always gone when we most need her
She's the Avatar
she knows when to attack, we gotta trust the Lorde
The third day hasnt come yet... wait for it
Jérémy Evrard you seem great. that’s it that’s all i have to say.
She works in silence, let the results make the noise
She takes the "weird dancing in your bedroom" to a god level
@@bartholemewthesecondjr162 There's no going back, u are one with the vacuum now. T'is urs for eternal life for it became ur lover and wife.. no but either go fix it or just break it real bad and apologize then hope he'll throw it away. And if he doesn't and goes to fix it, he's gonna be the one who came in it ;)
@@Akumaragon thank you
Dylan Hendricks iconic
What the ???
@Gangsta Style I dont care
I love her wild dancing because it looks like she is getting rid of negative energy and I love it!
Dancing and music like this releases more than years of therapy can
Yes! And its so genuine. I have been there, dancing thru the pain… she is just so amazing and real ❤
Lies again? Champions USMNT 7 Times Brazil 5 Times
Yea so real ❤
Like like she's singing while storking
This song is so timeless. I feel like people didn't understand it because it is structured differently than the typical pop song but it's actually incredible
Really glad you spent time to write this. Thank you.
Dude...
I'm a huge fan of this song and the album as a whole, but like...
The song's structure is absolutely normal. Nothing out of the ordinary. It's: verse, pre-chorus, chorus, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, outro. This structure isn't special. I'm not saying the song isn't special, I just think you're reading too much into it.
@CtrlALlTerrorS I would recommend SOPHIE. The guy would just fly into outer space.
People liked the song right away...
Some ppl just heard the upbeat tempo of the chorus and declared it to be 'too poppy.' Seemingly forgetting that Lorde is an artist who enjoys using and exploring many different styles of music, and that she will always do what she wants. As she should.
I MISS LORDE OMG
spencer hastings
Fuck...same sis oml 🤣
Great taste in music girl
I read she was supposedly making new music, but it was delayed cause her dog passed away
Same :(
Me too :(
David Bowie said Lorde was the future of music, I came right over here and am not disappointed.
He never listened to Aurora...
@@henryrollins9177 i love Aurora and Lorde... But i think Lorde is better
If David Bowie said you're good then you must be good.
lorde after hearing this-*doesnt make a song in 2 years*
@@andrewporter6261 dude, u hurt me so much with that comment lol.
"I whisper things, the city sings 'em back to you" has to be one of the most poetic lines in a pop song.
It sounds great but I don't get it.
@@samwill5Its about rumors
Legit one of the best pop songs I've ever heard. Emotional. Anthemic. Catchy. Timeless. Her talent is unreal
There is nothing more liberating then watching her dance with out caring.
@Squirrelrabbit have you tried doing it yourself? Even better
@@smurphul23 the best music eveeeeeeer
i'd be so glad if Lorde fans would check out "The Louvre's" music video I've directed on my channel. Help this video creator to grow hahaha thanks!!
Absolutely
The way she dances looks like the way that joy that you simply can't contain feels. Giddy and strange and glorious.
Wtf I was checking on Lorde and this video is 4 YEARS OLD
Lol it's like yesterday
@@AIIEntertainment why did she stop posting?
@@PoppedAndFlopped she does this every time. She releases a album then disappears
DUDE IKRRR
@@JairoJuber she takes quality over quantity so there should be a new album this year
2024 anyone?
Yes
Just sitting here on porch listening to this and smiling
Hi
I always come back here
Holy shit, YESSSS 🙌🏽🙌🏽
How can you NOT start jumping up and dancing when this song comes on?! Masterpiece!
Guarantee this song will be in like 8 movies about young people coming of age
Paul Cottman lol
Paul Cottman FACTS lmao

This is how I imagine myself walking to class with my earphones in
SAME
Me too
heard that
Lmao same
I feel so attacked
The beat and rhythm goes perfectly well
The last 40 seconds are orgasmic.
I've been to a lot of shows but this song was my favorite concert moment of all time. Everyone single person was losing their mind dancing. I'll cherish the memory forever!
That’s what your supposed to feel in a song and this song is one of the best at showing that!
SHE JUST SAID SHE IS COMING WITH NEW MUSIC WE WON
Really? That's friggin awesome. When though?
Omg yesss
Omg can’t wait I started crying while reading her email
FINALLY 😭
You have a beautiful profile pic Biann, anyways, good to hear 😍
Six months out of school, and I'm like:

lmao brilliant comment!
Slavery? I really think you missed that concept. What we do is work. And work pays the bills.
This song is so addicting yet painful to listen to. It’s about heartbreak and depression. It’s like a sweet punch to the face.
One of the best songs I’ve heard in my life
My favorite thing is when people complain about a change in music style, and then when an artist doesn't change their style those same people complain that it is boring.
Luke Hartung True😒
Luke Hartung haters gonna hate, as always..
Luke Hartung a la linkin park
Luke Hartung exactly
right!!??
This woman. She cannot dance. BUT DAMN CAN SHE DANCE
We can all dance! Let it out.
Blue Ж it don’t matter! WE CAN ALL DANCE IT OUT!
Buy Just Dance 2020
It looks cathartic. It’s like how I would dance. Do you mean she’s not trained?
I'm the same way😂
Blue Ж that’s jim morrison!!!!
I would love to go back in time to hearing this for the first time, the adrenaline and serotonin rush of hearing this for the first time was inexplicable. Euphoric bliss
I remember listening to this song when I was 10 now I’m 16. I can’t believe how fast time has passed by, forever will be a lorde fan!
same!!
bro i'm 25 i feel old
@@a.frederick Seriously, I'm not even 20 yet and it's blowing my mind how Melodrama is 6 years old now?? Umm _that_ was the "new" album, wat the fukk !!
I'm also 16 🤭 I've been listening to lorde for such a short amount of time but I heard this song and HAD to listen to her honestly 😩
Edit: its been 3 weeks. I am obsessed with homemade dynamite 😭
Lol i'm 21
This gets better the more you listen to it
TRUE
Anibaedan no it doesn't
Anibaedan Yes, It's growing on me!
Anibaedan no it doesn't. it's so basic.
all of her music is like that
"But I hear sounds in my mind, brand new sounds in my mind" as the song shifts to a piano beat she's never used before. She's literally telling us that she's evolving into new territory as an artist with this record. Also take into account the fact that she's 20 years old now, and with that comes the excitement of taking on the world as a young adult. This makes me think about college nights, when you felt like you had the green light to do anything you wanted before sunrise. She was still a teenager when she wrote Pure Heroine, and I think it's naturally a darker record because you feel kind of trapped and broody during those years of your life. When you come of age, there's an intoxicating freedom to it initially, especially in her case as a successful singer with money and credentials. To me this song represents that excitement, a starry-eyed lust to celebrate the beginning of the rest of her life. I'm so curious to hear the rest of the album, and I'm excited for her that she wants to show us this new energy!
James Ian well said and I agree. It's crazy how time flies.
+
YEAH
My thoughts exactly. Just a truimphant sounding song.
YAAASSSS
I mostly listen to metal, but I came across this masterpiece and I'm so glad I did. Why haven't I been listening to Lorde's music all this time?
Melodrama is a masterpiece! Glad it found you
same!
Im an oldschool heavy metal dude but female vocalists are sometimes just beautiful theyre my weakness haha. Regina Spektor is also alright
Same bro
I still listen to this masterpiece till this day. Both her albums are iconic
Came back to Melodrama, I wasn't a fan of Solar Power
I still like solar power
Fallen fruit,the path and oceanic feelings but not stoned at the nail salon
Some people complain because this sounds different than before. Here's some food for thought for you:
David Bowie, the music legend himself, called Lorde "The future of music." Bowie was notorious for being a chameleon. Every one of his projects, from Ziggy Stardust to The Labyrinth, feel completely unique. They are all different and capture a different side of Bowie, but he is still present in all of these. They are different, but still cohesive.
How does this tie into Lorde? Even though this is different, it's just a page from Bowie's book. It may be different than Pure Heroine, but that doesn't mean she's selling out. This is just another aspect of her, while still bursting from her own mind.
Let's not bash her change in direction. Instead, let's celebrate that she's not going to stay in a niche simply because fans want her to. She's still exploring, and I'm excited to see where the path leads.
Ceeryle Brown well said 👌
Ceeryle Brown I love this
totally.. even hitler said lorde will be the future of the füher ehmmmmmm........I mean future of music
Ceeryle Brown her only hit song before this pile of dung was royals and that sucked to.
pavan dutt if you try to be funny using German words then do it correctly
i love how the driver is just standing next to the car waiting for lorde to finish dancing.
"is she done yet? *takes a glance* oh- not yet."
Ashley Jung Lorde herself even commented on how ridiculous this was in an interview lmao
Time to call the fuzz
Lol
Awesome
I noticed that too😂😂
This song (and album) is a literal masterpiece, and no one can say otherwise
I always loved this song but I couldn't thoroughly relate to it. But now when I've experienced love and lost it, it hits so hard and rips my heart. Anyways, I know I'll find that damn green light.
I didn't understand it till I read this comment, thank you
Completely disagree with lots of people here, I think this song is really complex - very robyn-esque with an upbeat poppy song but sad and powerful lyrics underneath. Definitely did not disappoint, she's evolving as an artist!
Riiibit I didn't like this song on first listen but now I have heard it more than three times I actually like it
SAME
Riiibit THIS!!!
Riiibit what the fuck is robynesque
+Jesus Lopez Robyn is a Swedish pop star whose music often has a dance, synth, background beat.
If you watch the Call Your Girlfriend video, you'll see how Robyn's dancing might have influenced some of the visuals in this video :)
Dear Lorde,
Please come back. The world needs one more like this. Please.
From: Heartsick fan.
Jesus has changed my life, He answered my prayers, i had been praying for years so I can get baptized and He answered that prayer when the time was right. Both my parent use to drink alot and plus my dad use to smoke cigarettes and I use to suffer because of that my dad has also fall away from his faith at that time but Jesus sent one of His followers to my dads work and then he use to talk to my dad about His life back together with Jesus to build a relationship with Him and that same year around Christmas a bit after my dad got sick and the follower of Jesus prayed for my dad to get better and he did, but while he was sick he did not smoke or drink and even after that he never drink or smoke again Jesus has freed him from that trap which he was in since he was a teenager. My dad has built his relationship with Jesus and now is free of his past and lives for Jesus. After I got baptized I still was not close enough to Jesus but after a few months the Holy Spirit who is living inside me found a way to make me take my relationship with Jesus and I did. Later on I had my final exams and I barely studied, i told Jesus that He is my priority and it my grades doesnt matter however I had faith in that i would pass because of Jesus and when I got result o saw He did not let me down and I pass all my subjects only because of Him. A time I was praying for a job and the week after in church a opportunity came by. I also applied online for jobs and ask my uncle for help in finding one and one day i kneeled down and prayed and within a few minutes to an hour i got a call from my uncle saying he got me an interview and later that day i got a call from one i applied online. The next week i prayed on my knees again to get the job that i applied online for and aboutb5 in the evening i got a call saying i got that job. Jesus has even given me thing that i didnt praying for because He knows my heart. Everytime i had fallen away (i still do) He always brings me back to Him. He has never failed me and never will. Jesus said if we ask for anything in His Name we will get it.
Is that the Bible?

Malaica Joseph How shallow to focus on the physical and not the talent she brings to the table.
This song has so much in it. It is very intricate and I hear four different songs in this masterpiece.
Ikr. Lorde is a genius
Her change is key is legendary, this is still at the top of my playlist. Will be forever....🥰
she didn't release anything for 3 years and people expect her to have the same sound. she grew up, got more celebrity friends, moved to a completely different country, and had a break up. I love this and I'm eager to hear the album! She is blossoming and I'm happy for her
I love the way she changed
Jeff Busby I'm excited for her 2nd album omggggg
Listen, I don't even hate it. I kinda like it, but it she definitely moved more into the mainstream pop sound. She became the white teeth teen. I didn't want her to come back with the same sound. My favorite artists are the people who do something different every time. I had that expectation for her as well. But even with switching up the sound, there was no real risk taken here. Definitely not a strong single unfortunately. I still have hope for the album. A lot of artists market their commercial friendly singles first, and leave the best stuff on the album.
Birdie Wolf fixxx ure a little monster 😎😎

Listened to this song years ago and just remembered it this year. Still just as amazing as the last time i listened it :)
Green Light"
I do my makeup in somebody else's car
We order different drinks at the same bars
I know about what you did and I wanna scream the truth
She thinks you love the beach, you're such a damn liar
Those great whites, they have big teeth
Hope they bite you
Thought you said that you would always be in love
But you're not in love no more
Did it frighten you
How we kissed when we danced on the light up floor?
On the light up floor
But I hear sounds in my mind
Brand new sounds in my mind
But honey I'll be seein' you 'ever I go
But honey I'll be seein' you down every road
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
'Cause honey I'll come get my things, but I can't let go
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
Oh, I wish I could get my things and just let go
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
Sometimes I wake up in a different bedroom
I whisper things, the city sings 'em back to you
All those rumors, they have big teeth
Hope they bite you

She wrote royals and everyone of that age group and everyone of that cultural fell in love with it. She writes green light and it fits so well with the same community of people. Lorde is a true growing artist that can grow with the people who listen to her. Not saying she can only cater to those people, but she surely does know how to cater to an idea, a moment, or an emotion that many people can relate to and reminisce about or feel in the moment.
I’ve been obsessed with her music since I was 9 i
i remember that most of her fans didn't like the green light at first.
@@graemehenderson1743 Eric above wasnt saying that the music was only for a certain age group.
He's right though the youth of that time grew with her... actually grew with her
Graeme Henderson no need to be rude :)
Bryce Exactly. Im not saying people of other ages can’t enjoy the music and relate to it. Im saying that there’s always that certain age group that can understand SO MUCH more yk?
An unforgettable song here. And i like her grave voice so much when she says "cause honey i"
6 years later and this song still makes me feel euphoric, Thank You!
Hey Lorde fans! I have just released my selfmade debut album CRASTI LAND a few weeks ago. I am a big Lorde fan myself, her minimal electronic music (especially during her first years) really inspired me and a couple of songs on the album, so I thought I'd share the news with other fans. I am struggling to get listeners despite my hard work so, kindly and respectfully, I would appreciate every listen & review! Have a powerful day!
this cleared my skin. my crops are growing. my grades are soaring. I'm going to college. my debts are gone. life is good.
Lauren Maxam yes
Lauren Maxam I've 20/20 vision
Daksha Pugalia i wish 😪😭😭20/40

I'm happy she's not giving us Pure Heroine 2.0. It's a different side of her.
other alternative artists don't have the guts
M ca knock knock lady gaga
wut? she have a rock album, a country and a jazz album man!
She can fly
M ca yesss i agree
this is one of the songs that I can repeat for hours on end and not get bored!
Lorde is so talented...Green Light is an amazing song with poetic lyrics and inspired music..the bridge of the song is one of the most adequate,compelling and moving I can remember,and I am 66 years old and listened & played tons of music.Lorde is a reference
Far out, I grew up with this chick in school, not that we were friends but it's so nice seeing her doing what she loves and being so fucking happy about it. Go Ellaaaaaaaaa
thats weird
xsd 3 not really she was only 16 when she dropped Pure Heroin
xsd 3 Tf
Laura Mackey REALLY?!? OMG THATS SOOO COOL.
How was she like?
I really hate when I walk in the bathroom and there's a man playing the piano right next to the stall...
Yeah, and that you have to climb over it to wash your hands....

ZardGaming48 new fav song.😄
Lorde has her own style, her own attitude towards things, her beauty. And it's unique, and people hating below are the ones who are addicted to one kind of pop.
The Adele yeah. kiwi style is.... unique. I must say we don't all dance like her tho . kinda looks like she's being electrocuted. girl can sing but
I love Adele.
The Adele no this is just shit music lol
The Adele hell yeah you right and i listen to rap mostly.
Seth Yop languague doesn't expire 😂
She played this at Lollapalooza Stockholm today, a mosh pit formed, a first for one of her shows. Immaculate banger.
HAPPY 6 YEARS OF GREEN LIGHT!!!!!!! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Her dancing style is full 70's style. Not many can get away with dancing that style and look good, she looks amazing
Sarah Aiken I n3ver even knew her dancing was hated so much until recently. I honestly love it.
Sarah Aiken I was gunna say 1983.
She always was

Aka when the E kicks in
this was worth the 4-3 year wait.
Ikr! This is the best song from Lorde, in my opinion! Can't wait until MeloDrama!
Panic! With 21 Crybabys At The Discø felt like 20
technically 3 because this is her song with no features
i guess :/
i just said it wasso weird and i got yelled at.
Ever since she released Melodrama this has been my #1 song all these years and I can’t get enough of it

first time listening to lorde its really good
What a brilliant song. She so perfectly captures that raw, frenetic energy of youth and that bittersweet euphoria in heartbreak. She's one of my most favourite artists of all time.
Beautifully explained!
Amelia Joy My favorite comment so far! This is very insightful. Thank you. ☺️
then dont listen u shit
Neon James p558orno
"I'm waiting for it, a green light. I want it...", reminds me of my adult angst of getting home from work. oh these feels. :'( right in the... nah mate
When she sings "i've waited for it , that green light , i want it" i feel so free but at the same time doesn't. And it's crazy
2013: we’re driving Cadillacs in our dreams
2017: *dances on a Cadillac*
2021: forgets about Cadillacs
I don't think this is generic at all - it's just a happier, more upbeat version of her usual sound. It's brilliant
Veronica M agreed! I freakin love it!!
Veronica M i very much agree with you,i see her new direction but i still recognize her signature and i think it's genius
Veronica M YES
The last 40s actually sounds like Nine Inch Nails. He often had this thing where some kinda anthemic synth comes in towards the end. NIN's last-album-so-far was kinda happy actually
i think she's doing a "marina and the diamonds" by using a happy upbeat instrumental but dark lyrics
She wants the green light of the full battery
Homie dolphin LOL only Samsung phone users will know what that means.
RTarson no ffs
Homie dolphin LOL you have some humor 😂
Homie dolphin LOL don't we all😂
geraldine i thought your picture was helen clark no shit lmao
This song is EVERYTHING!!!
I know I’m late but this might be the best song lorde has ever made and yes I said that
Agreed❤
I love how she's just completely, unapologetically herself.
She really owns her face in all its fishy glory.

BEST SONG OF ALL TIME, LORDE DID THAT. SHES A LEGEND
I love Royals, but this is the song of Lorde's that I always come back to.
yall shes said in interviews (this morning on triple j in australia) that her album is a mix of her old and new style of music. she's very particular and LOVES to perfect the beat and rhythm of her songs -- base sound to her is very important. her album is going to have aLOT of her original style as well as the new (which imo, is still really good!) artists evolve! but she's said herself that she still very much has, and loves, the slow soft beats we got in pure heroine
THIS
I am excited for the new style but what she sings about, which i am here for, seems like has changed :(
Phodilus can you engerish grammer correct please?
ITS ABOUT HERE BREAK UP WITH A BOY FRIEND .
are you dyslexic ?
This song is weirdly aesthetic. When everything seems to be closing in and makes me feel trapped, this song liberates me; provides an escapade.
Edit: Thanks for the 1k likes, my first time ever. More power to you all!
It drives me into different emotions from sad to happy to sad to angry to happy like wtf is it just me?
Well said, I feel it too
IT's definitely more than just an escape, it's an invitation of a lifestyle! Listen to the lyrics, it describes not just and idea but a story and reflection! This means Lorde has probably got the lyrics from personal experience. Experiencing someone else's thoughts or ideas is pretty cool, eh?
The song represents, to me anyway, of getting out of a relationship with a person you thought you’d be with forever at the start and the other person has moved on ( she thinks you love the beach....) and the green light is the metaphor for being able to finally move on and let go of that person you loved so much and it’s the feeling of knowing you need to let go and just waiting till you can finally give up.
Lorde is an aesthetic goddess
She's so natural and real I love her
In particular I have moments like that just myself I and me with out annoying friends those are the best moments I ever have.
Didn't fully appreciate this when it came out, heard it live in Boston, Dublin, barcalona and realised it was always might to heard live.
Absolute game changer.
Oh my lorde she's back
Isabella Aderhold 😂😂😂good pun, u watch Liza?
Alishbah Ahmed yep I love Liza soooo much 😊❤
i love how theres just casually a piano in the bathroom
Symbolism, probably. She feels THAT close to the music.
Mimi Rose you are trying to hard. We get it basic dust. You have a piano.
JayJay Gaming it follows her
I think the piano in a bathroom expresses dishonesty in her personal relationship with Lowe who plays piano, so it's not just casual that the piano in this song is being played in a bathroom. Lorde is searching for a green light to move on from her messed up relationship, which she can't let go...
Knight Walker ma va a caga
gorgeous, talented and before her time! Legends like this have their own categories and rules. The prodigy, Fat boy slim so many others. Lorde is just perfection we will not witness in mainstream for years to come, then we will be looking back and saying "well hang on, Lorde did it 1st years back!"
This song is like good programming code, with good programming practices and well-written design patterns as defined. beautiful work of art.
Why is everyone bitching about it not being good like pure heroine. This is what artists do. She's experimenting with sounds.
tbird81 she's not just singing it, she has said that this song is about how she went through a brake up and it was better in the end
tbird81 she writes her songs and that's the reason why they are fab she is a true artist
Stephanie Bailey pure heroin😂
And this is what fans do, they react to what they think about the songs. If people don't like it I think it's fair to express that. That being said, I do like this.
Stephanie Bailey YES ❤💚
For those of you who are complaining that Lorde sold out or fell into the pop machine, this is far from manufactured pop. This track has 4 different melodies that blend well into each other. A song this complex is nowhere close to manufactured pop. This is closer to indie pop than straight up pop. She's also 20, there's no way she's gonna write the same music as 16.
Eva Zhu Exactly ! she said herself this was cathartic pop
No its plain pop i dont get the extraness in explain this song's genre just because its Lorde. This song is a fucking bop though
the structure of this song is too familiar with pop we known
Yesssss!!! Lorde has naturally evolved as an artist. No matter what kind of music she releases, it's always going to be different from people's expectations
JMLRH lol I'm not explaining just because it's Lorde. I'm explaining because many people don't understand that pop has many subgenres and you can't just categorize it all as "machine manufactured pop"
I just discovered this song and I am completly addicted to it now
Welcome
Feel free to listen to the melodrama album
love this song. when i was in early high school this album came out and i had a girlfriend who was a huge lorde fan. online summer school was full of this and Pretty Odd. but this album is so dang good and this song is amazing, thank u to all the exes who have played it around me
Am I the only one who totally LOVED this when I first heard it??
yeah me too like literally the first time i heard it, when it hit the 00:50 beat i just wanted to break in to dance! fking love it
Kitty KayKay your not alone
Francisco_zx you're*
nope
me too
People saying this isn't like Pure Heroine. Pure Heroin was almost 4 years ago. People grow/change/alter. Get over it.
Gabrielle Grangie literally people are so annoying like god forbid she make music that sounds different
Justin Rodriguez Artists change. The best artists changed their styles. Look at Nirvana. They definitely changed when they were a thing. However, as a huge fan of Lorde, I am disappointed with this track (as well as Magnets from whenever that was). I just feel like this sounds a bit too mainstream? It doesn't feel like Lorde. She can change and evolve. That's great. But, I wish I could just vibe to this, you know?
Gabrielle Grangie do people change naturally? Or do they force change for the sake of popularity?
Christian Skinner I think people change because they've changed, she's not 17 anymore. she has a different mind set and has more to experience in life which means her music is going to change. she didn't change for popularity because with pure heroin she became popular, so it's not the music. it's her as a person. also, she worked with jack (lead singer from bleachers, steel train) and they both produced this album. it's amazing that she co-produced her 2nd album.
Gabrielle Grangie 300th like :3
Such an under rated singer i loved it when she dropped this song and the video just brings a smile to my face
One of the most deliciously produced modern tracks, the keyboard lead-up up to each chorus always stuns with beautiful anticipation. Lorde was sensational at Glastonbury and a gorgeous blonde!
my favorite part is when she loses herself dancing to the song on top of the car while the uber driver vapes in the corner
I thought the camera man forgot to take out the driver
Nich T 😅
Nich T same..i pause it to rewind and replay that part
David Koenig 4.92 and I'm a college student. It's amazing really
Mine is when she completely loses it at 3:09
The refrain has less melody than her last album. But this energy is very refreshing. The pre-chorus is my favorite part of the song, and the verses are incredibly intricate rhyming schemes on top of a very complex melody.
I'm in love with this song. I believe the Title is a reference to 'Gatsby' and his Green Light. The theory behind it is probably that the Green light that Lorde is waiting for will never come. That's why the video ends with a sensation of despair and confusion. Gatsby's green light was a metaphor for the future that is always out of reach, and the goal of happiness that is actually unattainable.
Beautiful music, beautiful girl. She's growing up, and she's so sexy!! I am too excited for June.
She denied it referenced Great Gatsby, but the normal traffic light (hence the "I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it", she's waiting for the guy to call her to come over). It's about her break up with her former boyfriend and letting go, moving out of the house and becoming an adult. She said it's about that girl crying on the dancefloor about her ex.
In any case, in both interpretations, they actually mean the same thing. She's a genius.
Ana Paiva actually the green light is about her letting go?
here's a weird thing. I just did some research. Traffic lights were an American invention, specifically by the city of Cleveland. A Traffic light system was implemented in New York in 1918. The Great Gatsby is set in New York, an written in 1925.
Fitzgerald literally watched green lights get invented.
And then he made a green light the central theme of his novel. Do what you will with that information. :)
I love this interpretation! It fits the music's theme because the song, to me, albeit sounding so joyous, is actually quite sad as she's waiting for her guy to give her the green light and he never does. She keeps waiting, she gets her things, acknowledging the end, but she can't let go, and that messes her up.
genuinely one of the best songs ever written
The lead that keyboard gives you is really something else!! ✨❇
