10 Best Lorde Songs
5. Stoned at the Nail Salon
This single
is one of the first songs we could hear from her latest album, and boy
did it surprise us. This song is considered a flagship in the
discography of the singer. She's dealing with familiar themes in her songs,
such as growing up, questioning decisions and that characteristic nostalgia
that she has been giving us as only she knows how to do it. So it's undoubtedly
destined to be one of the first songs people think of when they hear her name.
The lyrics of this song are one of the purest representations of the essence of the singer that you'll find in her discography. Through her verses, Lorde makes us question our decisions and if they were the right ones, if we knew how to enjoy life and if we're ready to leave everything behind. These questions pop into our minds like fireworks as we listen to her talk about her own experience with life.
It's common for Lorde to reduce her tone and production to just the bare minimum for tracks like this. And we greatly appreciate this. This time we only have some instrumentals accompanying her voice and harmonies. This composition allows us almost to feel the feeling with which she sings the verses, and it's one of her most personal works to date.
