Posted September 3, 200816 yr yx9zSxRiMF4 How AMAZING is this song. My fave Nelly song by some distance and I do love her. :wub: Vera's face burnt as a memory of bedroom fun With a ligther 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 As we explode As we explode 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 shopping 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 explode 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 explode As we explode As we let go We're counting the stars We're counting the stars We're gonna go far, we're gonna go far We're counting the stars, 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, we're counting the stars, we're counting the stars, we're counting the stars The whole song is just so beautiful. :wub:

September 6, 200816 yr Explode is perfect. Probably in my Top 5 too. I still think it should have been the lead single from Folklore actually...
September 30, 200816 yr This is in my top 100, maybe top 60-ish of all time :o . Try and Powerless are also very close. Why did she release Forca before this though? :huh: <_<
October 5, 200816 yr I just pulled out this whole album yesterday and was reminded how AMAZING it was...especially considering the last time I really listened to it I was 15 and thought it was a bit weird. Now listening to songs like 'Try', 'Explode' and 'The Grass Is Green' I'm just like; "THAT'S RIGHT NELLY. YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT". Does anyone get what I'm saying? :rofl: Folklore is in my top 3 favorite albums of all time. The lyrics and the production is just mint...I really hope she goes back to it.

October 5, 200816 yr I know exactly what you mean Ty. Folklore is stunning :wub: She will never ever top it. I listen to it once every couple of months just to recapture its greatness. I must have said this about 65 million times in this forum but people really SHOULD get Folklore. Its outstanding :(
October 6, 200816 yr People really should...it can be appreciated by any genre TBH. It's just music that is nostalgic, every song takes me back to a moment in my life...the only album that can do it for me. The lyrics are clever but simple, it's just her speaking from her heart and it's just genuine and amazing. It really makes Loose look insignificant, and I find it depressing people know her better for 'Maneater' and 'Promiscuous' (good pop songs but NOTHING compared to 90% of Folklore) rather then 'Explode' and 'Try'. Such a beautiful album in and out...something that only gets better with age.
