And I remember when I met him, it was so clear that
he was the only one for me.
We both knew it, right away.
And as the years went on, things got more difficult --
we were faced with more challenges.
I begged him to stay. Try to remember what
we had at the beginning. He was charismatic, magnetic,
electric and everybody knew it. When he walked in
every woman's head turned, everyone stood up
to talk to him. He was like this hybrid, this mix of
a man who couldn't contain himself.
I always got the sense that he became torn
between being a good person and
missing out on all of the opportunities that life could
offer a man as magnificent as him.
And in that way I understood him
and I loved him.
I loved him, I loved him, I loved him.
And I still love him.
Lana's writing is basically anti-feminist. What did you expect from a girl who is virtually obsessed with 1950s Americana, and therefore separate spheres, the nuclear family, dependent women etc? Lana's target is not young girls - but let's face it, just because they're not her target audience doesn't mean they don't or can't listen to her music. Lorde hasn't told a single lie, and she's very intelligent.
/endthread thanks for this post and Lorde didn't lie.

No one knows who you are either; are you not entitled to an opinion?
LMAO she actually says that love songs (that's all there is to "without you") are unhealthy for girls?
What a bizarre claim she's making.
Lorde must be some sort of a sanctimonious lesbian hipster who takes her quirky shtick too seriously.
Or she's just plain dopehead and was high during the interview.
or she just has an opinion! Not so bizarre when you look at some of Lana's lyrics. Lana may take inspiration from 1950s Americana but "beat me and tell me that no one will love me better than you do" isn't exactly a healthy lyric for girls of the 21st century to be listening to. I just hope that these girls aren't as impressionable as everyone makes them out to be
Lana writes from personal experience and her music is not aimed at tweens. and plus not every song sang by a female artist has to be a girl power anthem, she's allowed to feel sad or heartbroken over someone and sing about it, I don't see what's so wrong about that
Lorde seems so manufactured to me, I just can't get into her
Hmm, what she describes sounds more like ADELE than Lana...
Most of Adele's songs are not talking about her being nothing without a man. "Rolling in the Deep," her biggest hit, is a big **** you to her past relationship, for example, so what are you even talking about?
Either way, she named Lana - not Adele, so she knows better.
She hasn't had the D yet, so she's allowed to feel that way at 16.
I know all about you finding your religion once you heard PFRR, hence why I bought Royals, but don't make me have to contact iTunes support to have my credit reimbursed bitch.

Manufactured? She writes her own music at 16, she's always been quirky according to people I know who went to her school. Try again

Lana is writing about her own feelings, she's not saying whoever listens to her music should share her opinion or want the same from a relationship. Besides, there are so many artists out there who release lyrics that could be called questionable or unfit for a younger audience yet they're still shown in the media every single day, why didn't she mention them?
And personally I think it's a bit sad that she feels the need to talk about other artists at this early point of her career. She should focus on herself and her own music, but of course it's much easier to get attention when you name-drop someone like Lana.
thanks for this post and Lorde didn't lie.
