I think Sylvia Plath would be rather charmed by Florence Welch and her Machine. Both of their works constantly bring up themes such as the extremities of emotions (be it boundless joy or crippling sadness), personal regret and fear of making more mistakes, the freedom of which art gives them, and their experience of womanhood. Their language is also very similar, being elegant yet holds undeniable power. Descriptive, telling a story/scene through their words.
I agree, but I honestly feel like Emily Dickinson would be more of a Florence fan, and Sylvia would probably be into Mitski (especially Bury Me at Makeout Creek)
I really hope so but after this marvellous video essay, I have a strong feeling that she does. I'd be very pleased to see more juxtapositions like that on booktube. And I think Susan Sontag would enjoy Lorde's music, maybe hang out with her and write a chapter for the "Against Interpretation Vol.2" or "Against Interpretation: Revisited" or something. I'd love to read it, well in general life would have been better with Sontag still living, still writing, still rocking.
I adore your in-depth discussions about niche things. This was great! I think a lot of authors would enjoy Lorde, the cleverness and beauty of her lyrics and music would probably appeal to many writers and poets, past and present
I love everything about this! Can you do a video for us non-lit majors on how to identify themes in books? Been a big reader all my life, but I struggle to dig deep into the books in an analytical sense. I've read all these books but they never hit me deeper than the surface 'story' level. TEACH US YOUR WAYS! I've missed so much!!
Even though I’ve been a subscriber for a while, this video made me become a patron today. When you first announced your patreon, I wanted to support you, but in my head I didn’t think I had enough money for an “extra expense.” But, I realized after watching this video that I pay for Spotify/Netflix/Hulu every month, and I like your content as much as I like theirs, and I can totally afford to support you if it makes it even a little easier for you to make the content that I love! 💛💛💛
I can't properly explain how much this comment has meant to me, but thank you so so much. I love making things for you, for everyone that will watch, and it is so moving to feel the support of those viewers 🙈
I live for this kind of content, Ariel! I am a singer-songwriter and a huge book lover, and how you have broken down words from Lorde and put it in parallel with passages from George Orwell is fascinating to me. It has given me an idea to examine (more closely) the songs that I love and reframe them in the context of the authors I'm a fan of. Please let this be the first of many Artist vs Author type of video!
I like how you think!! What is amazing to me is how you can compare books & a writer’s philosophy from a different era to something so contemporary. And I believe that it also give us insight into the lyrics of a “pop” singer who many may have “sloughed off” because the lyrics “don’t make sense”. You challenge us to look a little deeper into all forms of writing...which is a good thing!! Kudos👏👏
Would Karl Marx have listned to ABBA? In Money, Money, Money, Agnetha and Frida position themselves as women from the proletariat. They have big dreams but are incapable of fulfilling them because, even though they work hard, they don't seem to get enough money to survive and, so, must resort to finding a wealthy man to survive in this capitalist world. In The Winner Takes It All, they sing "The gods may throw the dice/Their minds as cold as ice/And someone way down here/Loses someone dear" indicating that humans are naught but puppets for the gods (or billionaires) to play with. In Voulez-Vous they sing "And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end /Masters of the scene/We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more/You know what I mean", clearly singing about the proletariat rising up to fight the capitalist overlords so yeah, Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid, I know what you mean. Also, the mental image of Karl Marx getting down to some Mamma Mia is just way to good. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk
I can't believe I just watched a 20-minute video about comparing George Orwell's writing to Lorde's music and I'm honestly so glad I did! Your arguments are so well thought out and very well presented. This video was a delight. It also made me super interested in listening to Lorde so thanks for that. :) To answer your question, I think Ian McEwan and Zdena Salivarova could enjoy some Two Steps From Hell. Their music is either full of energy which would fit Salivarova's characters or super weird which I think describes McEwan's novel perfectly.
Ariel, can you do a video talking about your recs/favorites in non-mainstream literature? You're one of few booktubers who talks about avant-garde-like literature (quality literary fiction if you may), and I would love to watch video on that!
I've never read George Orwell, but I adore Lorde and this was such a cool discussion and exploration of oddly specific themes. I loved this style of video!
I love this video. in another video you talked about doing a Kafka version; you should totally do it. these type of discussions are what I miss from English AP in high school.
@@MsDream1999 no self respecting human being is truly into keeping up with the kardashians. I get reality tv but the kardashians are simply a way for destroy brain cells and loathe yourself
@@HalimaAbshir im not into keeping the kardashion cause i find reality tv boring but think about it-jane austen is all about marrying rich , sisterhood, woman with different and dificult personalities, how the society operates...and thats also the ingredients of the keeping up with the kardashians when we look at it from a simplistic perspective
this was completely enthralling, especially as a huge lorde fan! i've always noticed her use of teeth as a motif but definitely never thought about it this deeply lol... i hope this becomes a popular video format on youtube in the future, i love noticing similarities and common themes between different artists and mediums! so fascinating
"A question perhaps no one has ever asked themselves, because is not important" hahahaha I love u Ariel😂💖I love lorde music too!!! I had heard Melodrama hundreds of times, it is without doubt one of my favorites albums ever, lately (like this weekend) I've been obsessed with billie eilish, thanks for this really different amazing video hahaha 💕
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on booktube! Not only do I now want to read more Orwell, but I want to listen to more Lorde. This is so incredibly researched and backed up. I feel like I’ve learned a whole lot. Also...you’re so good at explaining the ideas in this in an accessible way? I often find literature analysis can go over my head and I often think that can be down to the way in which people explain it - which has a danger coming across as patronising. By that I mean I often see this level of analysis as being for people who study or have studied English lit, but I really found this so refreshing. It provided context, example and was so conversational. Plus...you’re hilarious, your brain is a fascinating place. I’ve been watching your videos since you started making them and it’s awesome seeing you at this point where you’re authentic, where you can see that you’re loving your content. 💕
This makes me want to start reading and analyse it until I fall asleep. this honestly makes me more excited about literature then most of my lit courses did at uni. Love, a linguistics lover who had to take literature courses to get her degree.
Thanks for such an interesting question! Discussions like these aren't just fun, I think they have definite value. Using things we already love and know well to give us new understanding of other texts or ideas is so useful! Shines a different light on the topic and the text.
the premise of this video is SO bizarre and I fucking love it. this kind of completely original thinking and content is why I'm subscribed Ariel. PLEASE do more weird videos like this! this was so well thought out and planned, I could see the essay plan you were following 😂 you can tell you did an English Literature degree. I seriously loved this video, I loved the weird comparison and the out-of-the-box thinking. I! am! here! for! this!!!!! ❤️❤️
Oh my GOD I never knew I needed this video till now... Lorde and Orwell my two faves (pls do more of this kind of video Ariel, it was so so interesting!!)
I was half asleep while most of this video played in the background and when I woke up I was unsure if it was real because I heard most of it in my dream with the people in my dream saying the things you were saying and me repeating and agreeing with them in my dream. It was truly a weird experience but one I believe was very fitting because it kind of reminded me of when I read 1984 (was that a dream too? probably). Nevertheless, this video is amazing, the kind we need more of on booktube !
YES! This is the best type of content on youtube, just things you Love and are passionate about and it was so much FUN to watch! What a dissertation man! I know you said school was rough on you but the benefits show. I Loved this so much. Hope to see more like it.
Although I'm a new subscriber, I'm really satisfied in this video. First of all I have to say that i'm not a native speaker so that maybe I wouldn't explain myself clearly. Anyway, I have just met with George Orwell with his fabulous work "1984" and I have a lot to say. In this video you expressed my thoughts about Winston and Julia, about reality, about so many things. By the way I'd like to mention that I'm a bachelor and my education is about English literature and your videos, your opinions, thoughts are really helpful for me. Thanks a lot)))
Haven’t watched the video yet, but the title made me think that you should totally listen to “The Resistance” album by Muse (my all-time favorite band); it’s heavily influenced by 1984, particularly the songs Resistance, Uprising and United States of Eurasia.
this was so wonderful!! videos that you make for yourself tend to be the ones I love the most because I can feel the excitement and love that goes into them! I could see the passion so clearly in this and it was so good.
Ariel, i have been watching booktube since i was a tween (20 now) and over the years I’ve unsubscribed to all but 2 “booktubers”, and tbh you’re the only one whose videos i still watch, and this video just solidified to me that i made a great choice. THIS is the type of lit discourse im all about lol! This is very entertaining for me right now haha! Love you and i really love your insights into things like this! It’s so interesting!
this is top notch quality content I agree George Orwell would be a Lorde fan but I also think he would like Muse. They have a lot of lyrics about oppression and the bigger forces trying to control us.
Hahahaha loved this! (And love Lorde) One of my other big musicians is p!nk. Thinking about it now they both kind of have the same mission. P!nk does it in a kind of fierce Charlotte Brontë way much more direct, and Lorde in maybe a calculating Jane Austen way, slightly more subtle. Ooooooh, thoughts
I love video's like this where it's like "who wondered this?" But then you gush abt the topic for 20 minutes so well, that I'm super entertained by it. Reminds me of Jenny nicholson where I couldn't care less abt the topics but that the passion just reals me in. Love your video's!
Shania Twain + Bronte sisters (I've just pictured Jane Eyre dancing to Man, I feel like a woman) sihakshwksishsjsjsjjs Ariel look what are you doing with me 😂😂😂 oh and Jane Austen might actually have loved Shania's songs
Fun fact: the back part of the Louvre was used as a place to hang people (literally) so maybe Lorde uses this methafore to represent the success of actually being hang (as a painting) in the Louvre, and the idea of failure and death related with the other meaning
That last quote from Orwell👌🏼👌🏼 He would have definitely liked Lorde -- those questions are so clearly answered in Lorde's music. I love Sandra Cisneros and I think she would like Lorde, based on their common passion for independency, poetic realism and feeling the things you want to feel.
Well done you're really original and it's all natural it's just what you're interested in and what you wonder about in life. You have great passion. This is one of the best videos you've ever done.
I just adore how refreshing yout channel is Ariel! This is something I would have never thought about before seeing this, but I'm very glad that I got to hear all your thoughts and theories about such an interesting topic! Plus I love seeing how excited you are througout the entire video
omg this is probably my favourite video you've ever made. what a concept. I don't ever film videos but I want to make one just so I can create my own video on this topic. my favourite artist is twenty one pilots and my favourite author is J.R.R. Tolkien...............the question of would he enjoy their music is going to consume me for a while now. XD I might end up writing an extensive blog post on the subject! Thanks Ariel, love you!
Ahhh I love this video so much! As someone who is completely infatuated with both music and literature I will take literally any opportunity to draw connections between the two lmao, this is brilliant
I have never read anything by George Orwell yet I loved this video. I do consider Lorde one of the best, if not the best, songwriter currently. So I love this. Thanks Ariel! Also I don’t know if you knew this but Melodrama is set in a night out. It’s supposed to be a song for each stage of thought when she’s at a party.
Such an interesting but fascinating perspective on Lorde and Orwell. I definitely want to read more of Orwell with Lorde in the background now :D And Writer in the Dark is always killing me... so intense but beautiful. Thanks for the vid and the throwback to Lorde (i really need to revisit her music).
This was an incredible video! I love hearing your thoughts and your perspective because they challenge me to think more and think outside the box. I would love to see more videos like this!!
Edgar Allan Poe would GET DOWN with some Hozier.
Ali Lester yes!
Yes!
God I love this community
SOMEONE MAKE A VIDEO GOING IN DEPTHS PLZ
So would all the romantics lol. Keats would have the absolute hots for hozier
This is the AP test essay we all wish we could write
This is a question I would have never asked myself but oh boy did I need the answer

I agree, but I honestly feel like Emily Dickinson would be more of a Florence fan, and Sylvia would probably be into Mitski (especially Bury Me at Makeout Creek)
Sylvia Plath would also vibe hard with Lana del Ray
This would make a really cool series, tying certain musical artists with literary ones
Yes but does Lorde read Orwell?
Really good question.
I really hope so but after this marvellous video essay, I have a strong feeling that she does. I'd be very pleased to see more juxtapositions like that on booktube.

I think Jan Austen would be able to see the deeper side of Taylor Swift. I feel like they both get glossed over too often for writing about love.
sailinginthetea i feel like she d make characters inspired by Taylor’s music.

*breaking news*
George Orwell is officially Lorde's #1 fan.
I love this so much
I think Charlotte Brontë would have been absolutely baffled by Kimbra and I'm honestly fine with that
What a wild ride, I love this video and all your absurdly creative content! Next in topic: Would Aristotle watch Black Mirror?
the question has an easy answer for me, because both haruki murakami and thom yorke (radiohead) have said that the admire each others work
"George Orwell was the Lorde of his time!" is such an english teacher idea, but I love how many good points she's making
i feel like sylvia plath would ADORE Lorde
i love this concept
sylvia plath would be SO SO SO INTO lana, lorde and marina
No Lana
I absolutely love how you throw yourself into these super specific, niche topics that most people wouldn't think twice about!

Three of my favorite people in one video : you, George Orwell, Lorde
I love this video. in another video you talked about doing a Kafka version; you should totally do it. these type of discussions are what I miss from English AP in high school.
This is fantastic. The best booktube video I’ve seen in a long time. Maybe ever.
I always thought the “cut my teeth on wedding rings” line was more about the first introduction to diamonds as a emblem of wealth.
I wish my literary analysis essays were this smart and thought-out. Teach me your ways, holy damn.

Also I don’t know if you knew this but Melodrama is set in a night out. It’s supposed to be a song for each stage of thought when she’s at a party.
finally someone is asking the important questions!! excellent content Ariel! keep it up!
Such an interesting but fascinating perspective on Lorde and Orwell. I definitely want to read more of Orwell with Lorde in the background now :D
And Writer in the Dark is always killing me... so intense but beautiful.
Thanks for the vid and the throwback to Lorde (i really need to revisit her music).
thank u for answering this question i didn't know i needed this
Daughter's music has ALWAYS reminded me of Sylvia Plath
This was an incredible video! I love hearing your thoughts and your perspective because they challenge me to think more and think outside the box. I would love to see more videos like this!!
This is such a brilliant video! Your video ideas and execution truly continue to inspire and entertain me!
