19 Lyrics from 'Melodrama' That Proved Lorde Deserved the Grammy
YouTube

Last night, Bruno Mars won Album of the Year. Lorde, the only female artist nominated for the award this year, wasn't even allowed a spot for a solo performance. In my personal opinion, Lorde deserved the Grammy. Melodrama was a lyrically beautiful and emotional album that struck a cord with every young adult female I know.

1. "In the morning you'll be dancing with all the heartache."-Sober

2." I know about what you did and I wanna scream the truth"-Green Light

3."Well, summer slipped us underneath her tongue/ Our days and nights are perfumed with obsession"- The Louvre

4."She's so hard to please/but she's a forest fire"-Liability

5. "Let's give it a minute before we admit that we're through."- Hard Feelings

6. "Lights are on and they've gone home/ But who am I?"- Sober II(Melodrama)

7. "I ride the subway, read the signs/ I let the seasons change my mind/ I love it here since I've stopped needing you"- Writer In The Dark

8. "We are wild and flourescent, come home to my heart"-Supercut

9. "Maybe this is the party/Maybe we just do it violently"- Liability (Reprise)

10. "I'm 19 and I'm on fire/ But when we're dancing I'm alright/ It's just another graceless night"-Perfect Places

11."We pretend that we just don't care/but we care"- Sober

12." I light all the candles/Cut flowers for all my rooms/ I care for myself the way I used to care about you"-Hard Feelings

13." Thought you said that you would always be in love/ but you're not in love, no more"-Green Light

14."When you've outgrown a lover/The whole world knows but you"- Hard Feelings

15."Now I'll fake it every single day 'til I don't need fantasy, 'til I feel you leave"-Hard Feelings

16."But I still remember everything, how we'd drift buying groceries, how you'd dance for me/ I'll start letting go of little things 'til I'm so far away from you, far away from you, yeah"-Hard Feelings

17. "I overthink your p-puncuation use/ Not my fault, just a thing that my mind do"- The Louvre

18. "All of our heroes fading/Now I can't stand to be alone/Let's go to perfect places"-Perfect Places

19."They'll hang us in the Louvre/ Down the back, but who cares-still the Louvre"-The Louvre

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
