Pink

“We’re the greatest. They’ll hang us in the Louvre. Down the back, but who cares—still the Louvre”

One of my most beloved lyrics of all time; encompassing emotion and thought in just three sentences. I love Ella, better known by her stage name, Lorde, the one who managed to forever change the way I perceive music. Before this I just listened to music for passing time, I used to listen to anything and everything. But then I listened to one of Lorde’s songs. It was indeed meaningful. I downloaded the album and started listening to it and as the tracks progressed, I went into a state of trance. By the end I was spellbound. It was spiritual and magical. Every time I heard her songs I found some new aspect, a new sound that I hadn't noticed before, the meaning to a lyric I hadn't realized before. I couldn't stop listening as I tried to decipher the layers upon layers of lyrical hexes that were there. But here’s the twist: one day hanging out with my friend Pink, I put Lorde’s songs on and she exclaimed “you too?”. It was then I found another Lorde aficionado, spending hours discussing her music, developed an amazing friendship. That’s when I knew I could pour my heart out to her while obviously Lorde playing in the background. “You're the only friend I need, sharing beds like little kids, laughing 'til our ribs get tough”. Alas, I’d found a close friend.
