Nelly Furtado - Explode 

Folklore is the most underrated Nelly Furtado album. It's my favorite, especially "One-Trick Pony" and "Island of Wonders".

Such a moving, sad and beautiful song. One of Nelly's best songs imo and sadly it's so underrated. Unfortunately a lot of deep and meaningful songs are underrated.

This album was her soul...

Explode was one of my favorite songs and 18 years later I feel very nostalgic thinking about this time ! ❤

Oh man, I remember listening to this song when I was a kid. I never thought I'd forget Nelly. She made such unique songs!

Folklore is probably Nelly Furtado’s most personal album ever!

Love how the song was created by a poem she wrote as a kid, amazing, this is why i love her

This is by far Nelly Furtado's best song ever...! a masterpiece!

So many years ago, I received her CD as a present, and was playing it endlessly, thinking how perfect “Folklore” was. I still think absolutely the same - Folklore is her best album!!

folklore is one of my favourites album. a real masterpiece

Escuchaba "folklore" completo a cada rato. Ahora que entiendo mejor las letras estoy feliz que forma parte de mi vida.

My favorite album of Nelly's and to be honest one of my favorite songs. This album was just brilliant.

Here from the NPR gig and honestly didn't know the album was this good.

This song and the album are so underrated.

This song always meant so much to me when i was a teenager and it still does nowadays. Thank u for this beautiful song, Nelly. I really appreciate it!

Thumbs up if you're listening this gem in 2024 👍🏻

Folklore is Nelly Furtado’s best album ever! Every single song is a classic masterpiece.

Taylor who, this is the only Folklore

who is still enjoying this song to this very day?

This album was MAGIC.

NPR Tiny desk brought me back to this gem

I wish I could go back to the time when I watched this every single day on MTV here in Mexico. It was the fall of 2004. That fall and the following winter were so special to me.

Man Nelly Furtado was really ahead of her time...

This is my favourite Nelly-Furtado-song 💕 First time I heard it, I immediately was in love with it..until today 😍🥰

You can say whatever you want about what she became, but this song, and the whole album even, well, thats some good music.

Binge watching Nelly's videos because I miss her, hope she comes with a new album this year ♥️

The last time I heard this song was in 2007 I was 10 years old. Today I finally found this gem😌 after so long

This album proves Nelly is actually a true music artiste who creates music from experiences. Folklore was such a dope album!

One of the few albums I own that I can play w/o skipping tracks.

This is deep... Vera's face burnt as a memory of bedroom fun With a lighter and some hairspray Smoking in the girls' room Not worse than Shelley's rape behind the McDonald's By a man she thought was fine, didn't tell anybody Or maybe back then we just thought that she was getting some Now we look back and see that she didn't know how We never thought that we'd get caught up Stuck in the teenage waste As we explode Then getting drunk in the bushes by the road outside the Kmart Rolling around in them to see if you would get prickled slip the acid on your tongue rooftop mall parkade We couldn't get enough Then count the stars and the ten million woes Just you and the universe judging each other We never knew that we'd get caught up Stuck in the teenage waste As we explode As we let go It's a fight, it's a fight and you finally belong Got a shiner now and it's more than a battle scar More than a battle scar, such a good, good story to tell At lunch break, lunch break, lunch break, lunch break Such a good, good story to tell You bully, you break, you bully, you break You fake, you fake, you fake, you fake You smoke, you toke, you want, you flaunt, you hit it and you're in it and it's spinning And it's wild We never thought that we'd get caught up Stuck in the teenage waste As we explode As we let go We're counting the stars We're gonna go far, we're gonna go far We're counting the stars, We're not very far, we're not very far And it's you and me in the open air It's truth or dare, we don't care We're counting the stars

Nelly and her band do this song fucking awesome live. I was going through her youtube concert vids, "Explode" was done so well. Too bad i wasn't nearly old enough to go to any of her concerts, thats how young i was when i was bumping Nelly F. My mom and i used to listen to Nelly every morning to and from school back in elementary/ middle school since she was a teacher there and my sister and i were students. She really raised me to liking Nelly, now that like 10 years have gone by , i look back and know how i got into her. All of Nelly's albums seem completely different from one another and i like that, she explores different music types. I still think "Loose" from 2006-2008 was her best work and hopefully Timbaland gets back together with her. Besides a couple of her singles where Timbaland was the main producer and were really big "pop" songs , shes pretty underrated. One of the few talented and fun to listen to and watch women artists of our generation. Now we have bieber/miley cyrus/ katy perry/ 2 chainz and whatever other bullshit. Props to the 2001-2009 music era, R.I.P. Please come back to american music Nelly Kim Furtado.

This song is so good! everything, the music, the melody, the vocals. The lyrics are great, deep and smart at the same time.

"Folklore" is Nelly's magnum opus. My favorites are "Explode", "One Trick Pony", "Childhood Dreams" and "Fresh Off The Boat".

Explode brings me the worst remembrances of my teenage years and its scars , pains and insecurity. Back then, it was the harbour of understanding and the instant painkiller. Today it is a monument of progress I did. I still feel the touch of the past... but hits differently. It's an acceptance of my past. And confirmation of my presence.

Inspiring then, inspiring now. She should make more like this!

Her versatility is really amazing. True artist. Still watching it today because music now are crap.

Beautiful song, beautiful voice, beautiful woman. Folklore is the best music of her career.

I was 11 when this particular song was released. Fourteen years later, it is still one of my all-time favourite childhood songs. 😁

2019 y aún sigo escuchando este álbum! El mejor de Nelly Furtado, marco mi adolescencia ✨

Several years later, I realise the *delayed* cascading harmonies in the chorus. Brill.

folklore is her best album!

que recuerdos de mtv y de mi adolescencia guauu mi canción favorita de nelly es esta explode y la sigo oyendo aun ya casi en el 2014

Folclore es el mejor disco de la Nelly Furtado

Woah Nelly and Folklore are absolutely brilliant albums. To me she hasn't topped those since.

This song reminds me of my high school experience. Ditching class to get stoned, drinking in class, flirting with boys, getting into trouble and fights yes, we get stuck in these ways. Interesting to see where everyone is now.

by far my favourite of her songs, and the video is pretty cool too

Great song, great artist, I miss your songs, greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴

Anyone here from Tiny Desk?

This album is so underrated! Love Bela Fleck's, electric Banjo...so eclectic!!

WHT DOESN'T THIS SONG HAVE MORE VIEWS????!!!! I predict it will be viral again on Tiktok. Mark my words, I say this in May 2024.

If you're watching this in 2021 you're a legend.

I think this is my all time favorite nelly furtado song.

I didn't know this great song had a video. In my country (Perú) it was never released. Anyway everytime I felt sad or down, this masterpiece (the hole Folklore álbum is) really touched my soul and saw those days in a different way

Can't pick a favorite song off of folklore. They are all my favorite.

Her best cd

She is so beautiful at her age in this video, very natural and unique. Now she is still attractive, she's aged well.

Falar a verdade...essa musica é muito perfeita,ainda mais a parte do final "We're counting the stars, we're counting the stars,........" Amo Nelly forever

Brings so many memories. I remember feeling super edgy listening to unreleased foreign songs. Could not understand everything in the song at the time, but I definitely felt the melancholy of being a teen and the contradictions of wanting to look big while still being a kid at heart. I got stuck with the line "just you and the universe judging each other" because I thought it was cool, but now at 34 I understand how deep it really is. I've bought a bass very recently and I want to cover this song as soon as I'm able to with other people.

The bobbing icons, the animation is perfect.

Dude, I just miss Nelly's music so much.... more than I would even admitted I'd like it 10 years ago.

For me this is actually a good video. I watched it first here at 11 and I thought the cartoon version of Nelly had a cat-like face lmao. I was also a bit jealous of Nelly because I wanted to look like her and it never worked. Now I'm 15, I watched this again and I realize this has an actual meaning. I can say this song is one of the best by Nelly :-)

It breaks my heart how good this song is Xx

This is her most personal and best album, i love this song...

Here from Tiny Desk. I LOVE this song and I never knew she was this good. Amazing ❤️

After all this years, this is my favorite song ever.

i was today years old when i read into the lyrics and realized it's so dark and haunting

Nelly goddess of music

Such An Underrated album...she was really saying something With this Song...So glad they Made a Video 4 this Track🎵🌌

recuerdo cuando me paso lo que ocurrio en la cancion, solo llore y mi aliento eran mis ganas de vivir... es por estas canciones que uno logra superarlo

Is anybody listening to in July 2020???

quien lo sigue escuchando en este año 2024 Te Amo Nelly Furtado

It's beautiful isn't it? It's a lovely song, but the video is probably the main reason I keep looking it up

Thank you Nelly for being a middle finger to my bullies in high school

I forgot about this music video, but the entire album always on my heart ❤️💜❤️ I asked for the album for christmas exchange, yep like 15 years ago

I agree with the many fans who say folklore was Nellys greatest accomlishment. Many tracks from tha album played in the background of my mind as a soundtrack to my life at various times. I cried the first time I listened to explode. Love the line, you and the universe judging each other. Thats so deep. Its like saying theres something bigger than us that we dont understand and whether we have lived our lives wrong or right the universe can still seem so unfair to us.

counting the stars until we explode together.. am i throwing you off? :)

🇵🇹NELLY i'm so proud of you....still love this so much till this day...🎶🎶✨

this is another underrated song of this talented woman. love it

When I was a teen, I had this album. I would listen to it all day ( on my Walkman) I loved it !

twenty years! For me, this music video was and still is Nelly's most beautiful music video and probably the best done among my top ten. Everything about it is perfect. Bradley Cayford produced, together with her, the deepest essence of the poetry inherent in the song's lyrics and translated it into simple, beautiful and accurate art. It's one of the things I miss about broadcast TV these days. At the time when this music video aired on MTV here in Brazil (when it was still broadcasting) I was amazed and even more in love with the singer. about the "script" of the video (if you can say so) I interpreted it as a symbolism that we all have to deal with the inescapable fact that life will give us options while we are still in our teenage years and making the right decisions and wrong ones, we define our destiny in life. Nelly from the cartoon will face the "forest creatures" that represent the challenges and opportunities of those who have had the great "luck and misfortune" of going ahead to pursue their own dream. in her case, her musical career. which, indeed, fortunately for her and for us, she was very successful. Thank you Nelly, for having worked with talents equal to her, at the level of her passion for what she does, presenting us with this wonderful and enchanting work.

Yo no sabía que esta canción tenía videoclip oficial hasta unos años despues, creía que powerless, try y força eran las unicas tres canciones con video oficial, mas valió tarde que nunca.

Oh this song, it's my life and I am all stuck in nostalgia.

Who's listening this in 2021??? i just realize that "Folklore" was my favourite album.

I listen this song song when I was 4 years old in October 2003 & now I’m 23 years old

She is such an amazing artist, love her music 💘 and that voice!

I LOVE this álbum. NELLY Furtado FOREVER🇵🇹✨✨✨✨

The storytelling in this song, wow, back then I liked it, but now I fully appreciate it, Nelly is a great artist and Folklore is a masterpiece.

Oh my...fellow west coaster- this resonates and is so US when we were then hey, 25 something, quarter century beings. Too good & takes me BACH. Animation rocks, you rock more- Thank you Nelly for being you.

Melhor álbum da Nelly, que saudade 🧡

Taylor Swift was inspired by this album and video

i like the story animation... all the details of the girl and her thinking

this has got to be one of her best songs ever

I cant explain why i love this song

You just gotta love this song.

All Nelly is remembered for is Loose and Promiscuous etc, which is amazing. But her music is like no other female artist's. So fucking talented. I'm into rap and hiphop and I am still so into this. So underrated it's disgusting. THE ENDING IS SO DAMN GOOD....i love how it's a fucking poem that she wrote as a kid.

This is a really beautiful song! My favorite from Nelly!

Está canción siempre me gustó, me hace sentir libertad! La letra es muy linda!!

Folklore was her best album

The songs, the writing, the feels...so many beautiful songs. I feel frission... Love the whole album.

She is one of the best singers in the whole world!
