I'm blown away watching these interviews of Lorde. Her social media portrays her as just another fluffy hipster. I'm super pleased to see that she's an incredibly genuine, down to earth, and intelligent person who's articulate in interviews and doesn't seem to evade questions. I'm seriously impressed and as I did like her before, I feel like I love her infinitely more.

Wow, I am so proud of her. I remember watching her interviews when she first came out and she has really grown as a person, gained tons of confidence and is totally comfortable being herself and being more open. I think when she was going through her teenage phase she kind of lacked confidence with interviews and seemed a little depressed at times.

NobeGaming I don't see it as like a super power or anything of sorts 😅; the book was my introduction to synesthesia. I enjoy art and music, and I find it interesting how the overlapping of the senses can make someone perceive them differently.

Rachel Auguste I couldn't agree more

@alexandragrace8164 7 жыл бұрын

It's fascinating, but it can be quite debilitating. I have so many overlapping senses due to synesthesia, that it's like a sensory processing disorder. I've had to spend years in Occupational Therapy doing remediation to be able to read properly, and sometimes synesthesia is almost painful because you get sensory overload.

Synesthesia really is such an extra special and unique talent which is so badly ignored in quite a few more starlings. Correct me if I am wrong but usually the opposite side of the brain dominates our hands. I am a 1 in 10 lefty which is creative but apart from art and writing in sports I am right orientated in strength but can also use my left but not as well. Is Lorde left or right handed? I think she is right but brain functionality wise is completely dominated by her "Creative Talents"? Perhaps? I am no expert but fully appreciative of all her beauty. Truly wonderful woman. Thank you for bringing so much light musically and visually. Guy xx
