Lorde - Perfect Places 

We need Lorde now more than ever

THIS SONG MAKES ME WANT TO RUN INTO THE STREETS AND SCREAM

WHOS HERE AFTER SOLAR POWER ☀️ our queen is back ✨

Seriously all her songs age like fine wine. Her music uniquely are always ahead of our time. If u don't like one of her songs now, u come back a few years later, listen to it again and it's like u just found your new favorite song haha

So this is what it's like to have a Honeymoon by yourself.

she makes me feel bad about things i’ve never experienced

In Solar Power she said "blink three times when you feel it kicking in¨ and at the end of this video she blinks three times. THIS B IS ALWAYS MAKING REFERENCES OF HER PAST SONGS

Didn't get to live my teenage years so I lived them from 19-24. Now that I'm 25 this song feels like the perfect end of that stage of my life, and I'm ready to move on to my next chapter.

I'm still so salty Melodrama didn't win album of the year.

damn the comment section is still active af

ignore me just here after listening to Solar Power where lorde has found a perfect place on the beach in the sun :)

Every night, I live and die Feel the party to my bones Watch the wasters blow the speakers Spill my guts beneath the outdoor light It's just another graceless night I hate the headlines and the weather I'm nineteen and I'm on fire But when we're dancing I'm alright It's just another graceless night Are you lost enough? Have another drink, get lost in us This is how we get notorious, oh 'Cause I don't know If they keep tellin' me where to go I'll blow my brains out to the radio, oh All of the things we're taking 'Cause we are young and we're ashamed Send us to perfect places All of our heroes fading Now I can't stand to be alone Let's go to perfect places Every night, I live and die Meet somebody, take 'em home Let's kiss and then take off our clothes It's just another graceless night, 'cause All of the things we're taking 'Cause we are young and we're ashamed Send us to perfect places All of our heroes fading Now I can't stand to be alone Let's go to perfect places All the nights spent off our faces Trying to find these perfect places What the fuck are perfect places anyway? All the nights spent off our faces Trying to find these perfect places What the fuck are perfect places anyway? All the nights spent off our faces Trying to find these perfect places What the fuck are perfect places anyway?

“ we can be heroes just for one day “ - David Bowie “ All of our hero’s fading “ -Lorde

You know what's so cool about this? This is how us "normal" people dance. Not saying dancers are'nt or something but you see all these famous people dancing and you know they be faking it. The way lorde dances, yes she gets made of fun of for it, but that's legit how i dance in my room. When i feel like i'm alone and i have all the freedom to do whatever i want. I guess that's what adolescence is, feeling alone yet so free, doing as we please. I don't what point i was trying to make but this is what i had to say. She dances like she feels the music, it doesnt feel choreographed, it's sporadic and spontaneous and that is the embodiment of youth. I know she's an adult but her and her music will always be an embodiment of youth and adolescence.

this song is possibly one of if not the top song for me of all time. ever since melodrama first came out i constantly find myself coming back to this song and still getting chills while dancing like i did the first time i heard it

Turned 19 just like 24 minutes ago , and I'm listening to Lord while thinking of what might come next and how my teenage years are almost gone

Lorde has been gone for too long now, if you ever wonder where she is... She's in Perfect Places.

Director: how many people do u want? Lorde: no

This song always makes me tear up because it was released just I was graduating college. Suddenly I was an adult working and all my friends were having children and/or getting married. No matter how much I tried to resist it... There's no escape for getting old. FML

Just turned 19 fifteen minutes ago. Love you Lorde 💙

Don't mind me, I'm just an introvert dancing and jumping to lorde's songs at 12 AM and reminiscing fun teenage memories I never had.

Earth is 4.6 billion years old and we have the luck to live in the same era as Lorde

nearly 7 years later and this is still the most beautiful song i’ve ever heard

Lorde really makes me want to go outside and enjoy life and take advantage of my youth, not a lot of people can make you feel like that. I love Lorde and her music so much simply for that

how does a person take so much pain and turn it into something so fucking beautiful

imagine lorde dropping a surprise announcement of a new album too... [Edit: Aug. 20, 2021] Y'ALL STREAM SOLAR POWER!!!!!

I'm 40 and this is how I felt when I was 19, so her music has relevance to everyone. Either current, or retrospectively. I love her.

Lorde is such an artist

Lorde is love Lorde is life

the most thing i love in this video is the outfits.THEY ARE WONDERFUL

Does anyone notice that she sings of "we" but she's all alone in the all the shots? I think that's the essence of Melodrama and youth - we're joined in solitude and we dream of becoming we but we sing and dance in separate rooms. Much love to anyone who came here because they were lonely :)

This song was way ahead of its time! This music video also screams social distancing with her being the only one in the video haha!

Coming back to listen to this album every-once and again is self therapy.

Melodrama won something better than the grammys, our hearts!!

it's beautiful to think that we don't bave to find perfect places. it lives within us. thank u mother lorde

I turned 19 today and cannot be more excited to finally sing along to the “I’m 19 and I’m on fire” part:)

Melodrama wasn't album of the year cause it's album of the millennium.

God damn this girl is so talented

After listen the new album, just miss this song so much. I like the new version of Lorde. But the power of youth in this song is fucking perfect and I luv it forever.

Lorde is perfection and I will die on this hill.

When she releases her new album we are gonna make it the best selling album of the year. Ight?

I like the idea of her choosing nature as her perfect places. :)

in one hour i will be 19 and hopefully on fire. thank you lorde. for everything.

2024 ❤ alguém mais vibrando com esse som?

What a way to end an album.

I know it's not just me, this song feels like the end of the teenage era. All the love, kisses, evenings, sunsets, lovers, heartbreaks, friends, adventures... It's full of youth, but at the same time it's sad. This makes me smile, but at the same time, it makes me want to cry. It creates images on my mind that never existed before in my life. This... This take me to perfect places.

i have never heard this song before and holy shit it's good

Love it... hun u got me through the worst domestic violence yrs.. I thank u for that.... I use to along till he realised I was getting compliments on my singing and he hates that so he started to strangle me so now it's hard.. thank you lordes...x

this music video is the most beautiful thing i've ever seen omg

Every single track on this album is absolutely incredible.

Perfect Places and Ribs, I will never stop listening to these songs, or any of Lorde's discography for that matter. I'll be perpetually reliving my teenage years while making new memories to the feelings and emotions that her music breathes into me

4:05 "blink three times when you feel it kicking in"

I'm turning 18 in 10minutes and I'm listening to all of Lorde's songs to kiss my childhood goodbye EDIT: It's October 16th, my birthday again. I turn 20 today. It's so surreal to officially no longer be a teen despite never even having experienced many "teenage" things. I graduated high school, and started college. I realized I was going to be friends with my old friends forever (they're so amazing) but at the same time feel like I won't ever make friends as good again. I was 19 and on fire (as one commenter pointer out!) and I thought about giving an update last year too but I didn't end up doing so. Honestly adulthood, even though I experienced so little of it as a college student, is tough. I feel constantly lost in regard to my classes, my career, my hopes, and myself. Every year I seem to get the birthday blues because there's this huge expectation for you to be happy, that you know you're disappointing the important people in your life when you aren't. Yet, the best part of making this comment is that fact that every once in a while, someone, maybe even in the middle of July, would wish me happy birthday. And that would make me happy. Because an internet stranger took the effort, had the intention, to want me to be a little bit happier, and I was. So thank you, everyone who wished me happy birthday. Oh look at that, it's perfectly 12am on 10/17 so it's no longer my birthday. See you guys next year potentially? Best wishes to everyone, I hope your joys continue and your pains ease soon.

I think this was inspired by our teenage years, how we always feel like we are looking and waiting for our lives to begin, when we will see beautiful things and get a taste of romance, luxury, or whatever you desire. She is filmed in all of these different, beautiful, dreamy places in beautiful clothes and expensive looking items like the tea set and the decorations and dinnerware in the empty restaurant. She is existing in all of these "Perfect Places," realizing that fulfilling that teenage desire to not be where they are in reality, is just as infinite as desire itself. She went to these places expecting to find some kind of peace and solace, but discovers that what she was searching for wasn't in any of those "perfect" places. You never feel satisfied when you look for yourself in those wants that will ultimately never feed your soul. We can open our eyes to the present, find ourselves through the lessening of want, see our true selfs more clearly, and try to love the things we usually, for lack of a better word, hate. Sometimes we hate our homes and the people we live with, sometimes we hate the school we go to and the people we see there, sometimes we hate the job we go to and the people we see there. But most times, we probably don't hate those "places," we just wish to not be there. As a reaction of that, we think of better, more perfect, places we could be. I'm probably not spot on with what Lorde had in mind, but my overall interpretation of this is that we've been existing in a perfect place this entire time. We get things mixed up a lot, especially as teenagers. We make the mistake of waiting for our love, truth, and dignity to come with fulfilling our desires, and escaping the world we are in, when what we were really searching for was always within.

A euphoric ending to melodrama and a timeless pop banger!

This song made me realise something that kinda sorta changed the way I see life, this is the FIRST song that I’ve ever heard that has done that. The song talks about how when we grow up we start thinking and looking for “perfect places”. Places where everything is perfect, but as I was thinking about the song I realised that there’s one time in our life where we don’t think about and look for these perfect places, our childhood. Because we’re young and clueless of the world, we only know few things and, at the very least for me, they seemed perfect. This made me realise that it’s not the question of a perfect place, but a perfect time. Our childhood. And man do I miss mine……

this album deserves grammy

Don’t worry, Lorde will come back. She just knows the right time to attack. That’s part of of the beauty of it, haha.

What a way to end an album , amazing song! Love you Lorde!!!!!

As a guy this song has definitively that surreal energy to fire up your mind.

it's been over two years and I'm still obssessed

so my crush said if this music video was a person, it'd be me... i've never been more honored update! she... ghosted me. havent heard from her for over a month now, i think? i really hope shes doing okay, im getting kind of worried. zoie, if youre seeing this, miss u! and i hope ur doing good:(

this song makes me want to dance through the streets, alone, and without any shame.

this makes me so sad and nostalgic for memories i’ll never get

The line “I’m nineteen and I’m on fire” hits different when you turn 20

You need a Grammy for MELODRAMA

This song is a true feeling, a piece of art

5 years past and this album still feels that same feeling as ever before. ICONIC!

I love her weird dance moves ♡

i think this song translates perfectly the current generation. we look for places that doesn't even exist, searching for a feeling that might make us consider ouserlves alive, while comprehend that we're alone in this world - at the same time we don't want to be. GOD DO I LOVE LORDE.

When this song came out, I was 19 and on fire. Damn I’m old now

4:05 "Blink three times when you feel it kickin' in." REFERENCE

queen of dancing with lightbulbs

OKAY BUT CAN WE ALL AGREE THAT LORDE LOOKED FUCKING STUNNING

The verses and pre-chorus on this song are so addictive to listen to. This entire album is just a complete masterpiece and still sounds so fresh and ageless.

This song is everything

OMG LORDE YOU'RE LOOKING LIKE BJÖRK AND YOU ARE A GENIUS SUCH AS HER WTFFFFFF EVERYTHING JUST GET RENOVATED

I was 14 years old when this came out and now i'm 17, i miss being 14 but i'm getting closer to be able to say i'm 19 and i'm on fire

Back after Solar Power anyone?? I had been waiting for her comeback since 4 years but the Queen served us well!!!!

I Just turned 19 😪 not the year I wanted to be, but I have lorde 💕

Lorde really dropped the best music video right in front of my salad

just a reminder lorde changed the pop music history with the song "royals"

melodrama forever

nobody cares but i was in such a busy time in my life when this came out. i was moving out and starting college at 17 and hadn't heard lorde since pure heroine in 2014... i'm watching this for the first time when it came out four years ago but it feels cool unlocking lorde content i didn't get to experience yet. anyways stream solar power and stan lorde.

I want to feel as free as Lorde dancing with a lightbulb

her melodies are so haunting and sweet. perfect places, buzzcut season, the louvre, hard feelings, writer in the dark, royals, team. they all stick in my head for hours after every time i hear them.

just turned 19 today. felt this would be fitting to listen to

i’m obsessed with this this is adolescence as a song

Lorde's music has a certain flow and vibe you can't find in any other artists music.

Melodrama is a great album

Lorde is excellent in every sense of the Word - A true class act!

i just love her. she dances, acts, sings, and talks so shamelessly and i ADORE her for it.

Remember that David Bowie said that Lorde is the future of music ;) Edit: 2000 Likes!! thank you so much for that ;)

i turn 19 today which means i can finally sing the "I'm 19 and I'm on fire" line and I've been waiting 2 years for this

I wanna get close to a person like Lorde got to that lightbulb X,D

It's a bit past midnight and here I am again, sobbing like there's no tomorrow. Melodrama forever.

Unpopular opinion: This is Lorde's best song so far.

I can't believe how young she is. She's beyond her years in every way.

No one writes and makes music like Lorde. I never heard one just like hers. She deserves more!!

The power of a Lorde song is that it could awaken that wild child within you and make you dance carefree like nothing else in this world fucking matters but this very moment.
