Wanna hear a secret, girls? Your bodies were destined to be controlled and objectified since before you were born.
That horror is your birthright.

Lorde // Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor // Pure Heroine // email on 27 September 2023
" It’s close to midnight, and I’ve just finished scrolling through my entire computer and phone archive from 2011-2013. Going on this memory lane ride has reminded me, for one thing, what a different time it was technologically. We were just starting to be able to see ourselves in real time, but we weren’t constantly connected. I had an iPod touch until halfway through 2013, which didn’t have a front camera or internet access, and my sister and I shared a MacBook, which is where we did our schoolwork and I wrote my lyrics. I took my first few years of selfies on Photo Booth…. Just let that… sink in!!!
In this stage, it felt like I pulled everything off by the skin of my teeth. Every week was the most exciting week of my whole life, I was so tired and still didn’t have a winter coat and took everyone clamouring for a piece of me completely for granted. I had zero cultural context, had no idea if an interview or TV show was huge or small, and so breezed through it all truly not giving a fuck. I am not a naturally nonchalant person, it was literally just too much to care about, I could hardly get up in the morning, so I just said absolutely whatever I felt like, all kinds of wild shit, if someone did something corny I’d say so, I was ruthless in that way that only teens are. Then through that year we went on our first tours, met you guys for the first time, hours and hours of hugs after the show, my favourite part so far and where it started to feel real for me. James took a lot of beautiful film photos through that time, and I’m really grateful he did."

Happy 10th Anniversary to Pure Heroine!
I completely dipped from this blog for a minute there, whoops. After all, my pfp is Lorde, what did you expect?
Anyways, it's crazy to think it's been a decade!!!! Today is the 10 year anniversary of her's truly, Miss Ella Marija Lani Yelich O'Connor's freshman album Pure Heroine. And what a way to come into the pop scene: reinventing it completely.
I know that's bold statement and I don't care! Tell me there wasn't a noticeable shift after Royals hit the radio stations! I remember when my friend showed me that song for the first time in 2013 we sat in my basement and listened to it on loop like 10 times. A couple months after that I tried to get into her music, but it just didn't speak to me at the time since I was like 11 and not very cultured.
This album really speaks for itself. The first time I had listened and really connected to it was right after I had graduated high school and I was about to go to my first university (which I'd transfer out of after a year, whoops). I remember watching the sun set with my friends and 400 Lux playing in my head (and probably over our speakers at some point). This album helped me through a lot of weird emotions. Leaving my town & friends behind to try and make something bigger of my life, wishing it could just be small and manageable and easy forever, not to mention the impending doom of COVID-19.
This goes down under my list of albums I've managed to find a home in, and that's a connection I wish I could just give to people. Having that sort of a connection to a piece of music is just such an incredible source of comfort.
Every time I hear this album part of me thinks it's 2014 again. It kinda makes me wanna throw on an infinity scarf and watch something with Shailene Woodley. Also, I really wish we could have gotten a repress of the album or something for this milestone. Or at least a story post. Whomp Whomp :(
Speaking of milestones, Royals managed to pass a billion streams on Spotify! I think if we all do our part Team might make it too :)
I have about 25 minutes to midnight and A World Alone just finished so I think I ought to wrap this up so I can proofread. Thank you Lorde for all you've done and continue to do <3
