‘It was being rushed through the night in dozens of cars, sometimes lonely, or so, so happy.

‘It was back entrances and superstars and H๏τel floors just for us,’ she says.

She also added that 2014 was ‘was loving you’, which could mean her fans or her boyfriend James Lowe, 24.

Lorde’s NY message in full 

‘this year was lying on my back, in a pool in rome on my lunch break

it was walking through glasgow late, treading the same loop of worn stones, hearing a busker sing royals and being sure i was dreaming

it was stumbling through paris at 5am, too time-twisted to sleep. it was creeping through palais de tokyo, trying not to wake up people in sleeping bags

it was the year of peering through windows into beautiful rooms, and realizing as the year slipped away that i was in that room now, not looking in

it was crying alone in H๏τels while the sun came up

it was the year of people talking trash, a hundred empty compliments. it was the year of genuine love

it was rushing in a car through the mexico dusk to a private plane, to a stage with some heroes on it

it was being rushed through the night in dozens of cars, sometimes lonely, or so, so happy

it was back entrances and superstars and H๏τel floors just for us

it was tumbling out of a party with a light-up floor in los angeles, the night my life changed

it was jumping off bully point

it was shucking scallops with my parents, and walking in the wilderness, watching water trickle down a cliff through succulents and ferns

it was driving through paris to a festival into brilliant green leaves all around, and videoing it on my phone

it was being pulled up on a stage in the desert, dancing, watching my friends and the lightsit was performing on that same stage, hearing the voices

it was all the stages we played, a hundred crowds, a thousand moments of reaching out, and how it was religion

it was the year of setting alarms for times i didn’t think imaginable, 3am, 4am. it was sleeping on command and jerking awake, upright

it was feeling like shiтιт was feeling like pure heaven

it was the backs and sides and fronts of theatres, venues, streets, holding hands and kissing cheeks and talking for hours

. .

it was loving you.

. .

thankyou for this, this year of my life. i’m gonna play it on a loop in my head forever. i’ll see you on the other side.
