Lorde has a little cry on stage during her 'Liability' speech; + song. Christchurch NZ, 9Nov2017 

"i guess i'd never written anything about.. being my own bestfriend." nooo.... im not crying.

"They're gonna watch *us* disappear into the sun"

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. Dammit, you're my favorite human being Lorde!!

she knows how we dream

lorde was sent to us from god truly

This is gonna be a bomb ass scene in her biopic

i love that she disappeared into the sun and then appeared from the solar power

i wish i could post a picture of me crying in the comments

She's been through it. She definitely knows how much it hurts to be a liability.

hahah what I'm not crying you are

She is soooooooooooooo different than she was when she came out. So proud of this woman!

i've been unrealistically impacted by this speech. i think of a lot of things she says in this speech everyday. and every little while, i watch it again like medicine. and i cry and it repairs me.

"t'was the love of my life." as a person who loves to write songs. i cried

Lorde is a such a bright soul, I want to send her much love and light to last as long as she lives

Knowing the song, I can't hold my tears. My mother made me feel like a liability so I learned to not care in order to survive. But the pain is real and being true to ourselves is our power.

*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!!

No one- absolutely no one, reaches into my heart and into my mind and into the inner-workings of my soul in the way that Ella does; and for this, I am truly eternally grateful and will never stop loving and supporting her. Forever and ever.

1:47am after long, emotional day, watch this w/ headphones in bed, lights out. I dare ya

“has a little cry” LMAOO WHY AM I LAUGHING THATS JUST SUCH AN ODD TITLE

I think "I'm a liability" and "I'm an acquired taste" are going to be my new motos

this changed my life.

she writes song for the misfits and the wallflowers and that's why i love her :')

Watching this now after listening to Solar Power. This is the video that led to my ultimate fate of being a Lorde fan. She appeals to people so much because of how real her lyrics are to mundane emotions and situations. Now, seeing her dance on the beach expressing in song how much she enjoys living. It's surreal. Her musical progress is a wonderful journey to go through.

she's such a good soul and i adore her accent

this is therapy

I WAS AT THIS CONCERT AND IM NOT JOKING

David Bowie was right about her

Ok not gonna lie, this made me cry. Like a lot.

i have to do 2 finals tomorrow. this is so worth staying up a extra 9 minutes to see this.

this made me realize that this song was about loving herself and being able to spend time with herself and it made me love the song even more. shes such a strong person

Liability makes me sob

“The truth is that I am a toy that people enjoy until all the tricks don’t work anymore “ o o f

omg this video is so beautiful i don't even have words to describe it. she is doing what she loves, what she was born to do, and i am just grateful i can watch it and absorb a little of what she's saying.

*_Miss Ella baking lemon loaves while curating her new album is the best combination._*

I feel really lost for the past few months and I clicked this, it made me cry and want to feel okay about myself. Idk when was the last time I feel happy.

"It's the love of my life" FUCKED I DIED OH LORDE

Loved her accent it's so unique

"i know how you dream" wtf im sobbing during math class i love her

She dedicated the song to her audience, she dedicated her song to us .... How can you not love her ?

I just read the title and started crying..ok edit :Just watched it .. like taking a javelin to the heart..

no one NO ONE CAN MAKE ME CRY LIKE LORDE CAN

i'm am lucky to have the same name as this fucking king

I think this is the song that’ll make me a Lorde fan. 🥺 I seriously got goosebumps up to my legs. 😭 Quite late in the game, but wahhh this is a masterpiece. 😭

IM IN TEARS IM NOT OK

I can relate to this song..

When you can't go to therapy so you keep coming back here :')

I honestly think that at this point in my life only Lorde understands me

I LOVE HER TOO MUCH FUCK I WANT TO HUG HER SHE DESERVES THE WORLD
