Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Don't you think that it's boring, how people talk?
Making smart with their words again, well, I'm bored
Because I'm doing this for the thrill of it, killin' it
Never not chasin' a million things I want
And I am only as young as the minute is, full of it
Getting pumped up on the little bright things I bought
But I know they'll never own me (Yeah)
[Chorus]
Baby, be the class clown, I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form, showing people how little we care (Yeah)
We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court and talk it up like "yeah" (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
Pretty soon I'll be getting on my first plane
I'll see the veins of my city like they do in space
But my head's fillin' up fast with the wicked games, up in flames
How can I fuck with the fun again when I'm known?
And my boys trip me up with their heads again, loving them
Everything's cool when we're all in line for the throne
But I know it's not forever (Yeah)
[Chorus]
Baby, be the class clown, I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (Yeah)
We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court and talk it up like "yeah" (Yeah)
[Bridge]
It looked all right in the pictures (Yeah)
Getting caught's half of the trip though, isn't it? (Yeah)
I'll fall apart, with all my heart (Yeah)
And you can watch from your window (Yeah)
And you can watch from your window
[Chorus]
Baby, be the class clown, I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (Yeah)
We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court and talk it up like "yeah" (Yeah)
[Outro]
And talk it up like "yeah" (Yeah)
And talk it up like "yeah" (Yeah)
Let's go down to the tennis court and talk it up like "yeah" (Yeah)
And talk it up like "yeah" (Yeah)
And talk it up like "yeah" (Yeah)
Let's go down to the tennis court and talk it up like "yeah" (Yeah)

Hearing this song at the end of hunger games during the credits was so good and chilling how much I miss those days 😢
same, i found this song because of hunger games and i'm thankfull
Saaame! I miss the hunger games times. I remember back then sitting through the whole Mockingjay credits bc of this song 😂
I recently rewatched it and that’s why i ended up here
@@a0ib that’s great 😊. I can’t wait for the prequel movie this year and hearing the soundtrack 🔥
Same, I remember it holding me up as the credits rolled, I couldn't leave, I had to hear it, and then it dropped.
I could not agree with you more ❤
This song is a brilliant example of the powerful interplay between, ice and fire , calmness and passion.
no its not
@@hetrippenyes, it is.
Between... Coriolanus Snow and Girl on Fire
She's scary and sick...
She's a masterpiece....
Jack The SNAKE shes hypnotic
Jack The SNAKE Truly a Masterpiece !
Jack The SNAKE Think you're looking for the word Beauty.
hahaha yes
+Jack The SNAKE She is mesmerizing.
She doesn't need a beat, her voice IS a melody.
And yes, it's nearly 2020 but c'mon, I know y'all here too.
Aye I’m so glad ppl still listen to her XD
I am still jamming to this :o
Better than that overrated Eilash plant, living on her coattails...
Music has no expiring date
Its 2020 yall living in tha pass itsa new genration... Jenna-ration...3636 forever
This song gives you such a crazy adrenaline rush, and the lyrics are so goddamn empowering.
BEST HUNGER GAMES SOUNDTRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
TOTALLY

SKSKSKKSKSKSKS
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA
This song is a masterpiece. Reflects the same feelings of both Mockingjay book and film, and time only make it sound better.
It captured the darkness of that time in the story: that it's unfinished. The song kind of doesn't finish.
The line 'this is the start of how it all ends' - I always wonder if she was given that.
My favourite Lorde song.Her mother is a poet and she has inherited her artistic flair.
she really feels the music. I think its great how she dances because it just shows that she doesn't care what other people think just what she thinks.
No, that is not the reason...
She grew up in cool land, ice cold land...
She is just... shaking off the ice & wishes to be next to the fire...
Mr. G trolling....
but she does care what people think about it. it's her "thing" now. so she does it in EVERY video. I'd love to see her do something really graceful and shock the piss out of everyone.
Carrie Carden exactly!! Like lady gaga actually wear something normal 😂😂
hunter bailey haha! YES! Instead of that God awful Diana Ross wanna be wig, and the tacky overdone disco look. She literally is running out of ideas. And I find that to be a good thing for her. When she stops putting on these fake personas, she'll just have herself to offer. Then we'll get to know the true artist she is. Everything she's done up to now has been tainted with her shock tactics, which weren't needed! She CAN sing. She CAN write good music. Speechless might be my all time favorite. I love just seeing her and a piano. Just a simple classic dress, timeless hair, and natural beauty. Let the music be the focus. I think that's why ArtPop has turned into the circus sideshow that it is. Because the music on the album isn't up to par. She can do better and she knows it. So she makes the focus of the album more about art than the music. I mean having a chick puke on her during a live show? That's NOT art. I know art is subjective, and some may disagree. The girl (whatever her name is) does represent what she does, swallowing paint and puking back up onto a canvas, as art. I think because of the fact the girl is insanely thin, and that girls have a hard enough time the days feeling good about the way their bodies look. So to call what she does art, it is offensive to me. But my problem is with Gaga feeling she needs to bring that into her show. And grind the chick on a mechanical bull, while the chick CONTINUES to puke on her. That's one step away from two girl one cup. When you have to add that to your performance to make it worth seeing, you are no longer taking the music seriously, and you are just trying to get attention any way you can, good or bad.
OKAY, SORRY I WENT OFF ON A RAMPAGE AND WROTE AN ESSAY. I get that all the time on RUclips comments. I know I talk a lot. I'm sorry. I'm just very opinionated and say what I feel. And if what I write is too long for you to handle, how do you ever get through a book, or even a magazine? So please don't waste your time telling me I write a lot people out there in RUclips land. I already know.
I can definitely see why they chose Lorde to sing this, her general song style and herself really fits the message of the hunger games and Katniss, in love it.
*screams In Starlight xd *
*screams un Starlight *
You know she wrote this song right? "They" didn't choose her to sing this, she curated the entire soundtrack for that movie.
Haha..pop music huh,...at least she's got like an attitude? Not sure what,..but its more rock n roll than bubblegum bullshit pop music..
I really mis the Hunger games
Hunger Games bringing me back to this masterpiece.
2024 anyone?
So far still loving this music !!!
Indeed, to think that I barely watched the entire saga and heard this song that I had known for years but I didn't remember it except for the credits of the mockingjay part 1
❤❤❤❤
No.
Yesss been a fan of her music and this song since I was like 10
i think she's the perfect artist for the hunger games series, especially for this book, i can feel that she's put her soul into the song and the way she dances, she feels the music and i absolutely love that about her
her "pure heroine" album is still one of my favourites, there's something mesmerizing about her voice, i just can't get enough of it
Cameryn Reaves Wait how does PPP think that she is a 45 year-old geologist? Who's PPP? Who's Lorde? Who are you? WHO AM I!
Xquavius Ellison I know who I am.and soon so will the world. Moon is green.
Cameryn Reaves Bc he is a 45 year old geologist
Have you ever talked to a drunk shade in a bar waiting for a last call hoping to get a better life? U should, they all sound like they're singing.
Grim Reaper i guess it was meant to offend and change my opinion??
literally she's not dancing, it's like, let the music get inside you and just feel it. that's pretty fucking cool, i mean yeah! lorde do your thing.
I always dance like that and I think that we all should just let go of the shame and fear to act like want to in front of others.
That's the people don't know. She's not dancing.
finally someone said it
Exactly! It shows how closed minded people can be when they say "omg why is she dancing liek dat? So wierd lel". She's just getting into it. Same thing with how people give the front man from Future Islands shit, he does this almost dorky looking dance when he's performing. He's just being a good front man and letting the ebb and flow of the music take him over. That's what a performer should do, it's adds a lot of color to a performance.
so damn true
Lorde is an ancient beauty like museum’s sculptures ❤
Hypnotic. I'm crying. God bless Lorde and everyone who took part in shooting this video.
To all of those who keep making fun of LORDE's dance moves, STOP IT. She is not some mold that society has created, and good for her! She really gets in touch with the flow of the music and the spirit of the music, that explains her movements. So please stop making fun of her dance moves, and who are you to judge??? Are you the best dancer in the world? I doubt it, and even if you were, you have no right to make fun of her or judge her for flow of dancing. All life is sacred, show all respect.
~ Tristan Silverwolf
Thank you! I love Lorde so much and I'm glad to see someone saying something about it. It's her way of performing. And haters who need to get a life watch it JUST to make fun of her. I mean, it's her life, her decision, and frankly, I don't think she gives a fuck about haters. Neither do I.
owh, thats how she dance? i thought a retarded choreographer taught her that.. no offence ;)
Melena Zuberi agreed 100%
***** inspired by Peter Garrett I assume.
i like her music but the spirit of it is, outright fucked, so her dance moves accompany it well.
"They used to shout my name, now they whisper it"
*L E G E N D A R Y*
That is like completely Katniss!
I am Lorde 💋✌️
'they used to shout my name, now they whisper it'... one of the most epic things ever uttered.
I love that line too much
We need more music like this.
14 yrs
❤❤❤ to hear something inspirational new
"I never watch the stars, there's so much down here."
Never been so relevant
wowwwwww
🔥🔥💯
Hell.....
Babe if only you'd known then
Lorde's dancing fits the mood of the music perfectly
totally!@
12 year old kids these days r so fucking retarded.
Sandra Star thank you for that!
Jasmine Chapman I have the same last name😂
This is pure art
I need more music from her. This is pure poetry and art. ♥️
this hits so much harder in 2020 when the world feels like its ending every day
Fax
Omgggg i loveee yourrrr videos
When I wake up and Twitter has a world ending topic trending every time ✨
Yes!:((((
how could it be ending when it's begining by evetyday
The minute that chorus kicked in and Lorde surrendered her body and soul to the beat, I just fell in love. This gets me buzzed. :-)
Karliene “
Baby
funny comments you have
Yes, that
She's got a special sound to her voice. I like Lorde.
This is clearly one of the best songs i´ve ever heard in my life ... a masterpiece! Lorde ist underrated af!!
I do think she has some of the most solid fan base out there in the music industry.
“But I got my fingers laced together and I made a little prison and I’m locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me.”
This is why David Bowie called Lorde the future of music! She's amazing!
If David Bowie approves an artist we don't argue with him.
Too true
she's not made a song in like 7 years :(
@@northwestclasspnw7974 she is COMING BACK!! LOL
WHEN DID HE SAY THAT!??
If I saw a woman dancing at a club like that, i'd buy her a drink.
😂
Katcatcat AJ LOL
Katcatcat AJ she dances as if she had already had a couple
I would do that to
me too
Her voice is literally perfect !!

There's something so relatable and organic about Lorde i can't even put it into words
I know what you mean! I almost feel this strange nostalgic feeling when I listen to her music.
Same!
Agree - I think obviously the angsty teen relates to her but the truth this, that angsty teen is still present in all of us even as adults... she's raw, unapologetic, unique, vulnerable yet confident, intense, and incredibly talented. Put all that together with an ability to touch the emo adolescent in all of us and well, you have Lorde... yah yah yah ;)
+Odette that was like the most accurate thing I have ever read
There is some thing that is nothing but full of reality & sort of other things that can be explained through Lorde's own philosophy that made me to be one of those people who loves her. For me, she seemed to be so much real & always ready to put herself into something without mixing it up with other unnecessary & sugar coating things. Lorde always gives us her "obra maestra" everytime she perfoms & even there are hindrances that are throwing her, she is just keeping on showing us who she really is & what she stands for. The song is not ugly, her dance is not a crap & her performance is full of emotions, & Lorde wants us to receive the message of the song the symbols used in the video. I salute & thank you Ms. Lorde for being who you are & sharing the talent that you have.
fun fact: the original written lyrics were very different than the one you're listening to now, they were "hunger games, ya ya ya! hunger games, hunger games, ya ya ya!" but was changed later in production.
South Park Reference
hahaha
a man of culture, i see...
Randy's influence
😂😂😂😂😂 yeah right
I am a „hard“ biker, 250 lbs and 6ft3, army veteran, but this song makes me cry...
Her dancing feels almost unchoreographed. Like she's just dancing whatever emotion the song brings out. love it.
Yesssss
She dances like Helena from Orphan Black!
it's not "almost". you should watch her other music videos and you'll see that she always surrenders her body to the beat
@@Elle-ho3uu You say that like I haven't. Based on the level that her music is on, there is almost no way in hell that it isn't choreographed.
Yeesss
I once tried to dance this at home,
I bended time and space
리제이크 that’s v funny 😆
I broke my hand I'm English and Clumsy lol
I feel like I'm some kind of sci-fi robot dancing to this. All the jerky beats and whatnot you have to hit. It scares my bearded dragon lol
A bearded dragon would scare me all on It's own 😂🤣 I do love the dance moves tho
Many Good Things In Life / theres so many grammatical errors in this sentence yet it adds so much to the comment.
New Hunger Games trailer got me thinking about this, the nostalgia took over
i keep coming back, nostalgia is very real
Hunger Games ya ya ya. ya ya ya Hunger Games.
I literally was looking for this comment with my son after watching SP
When Lorde is wearing the black dress and starts walking up and then falls is the most iconic part in the video
ummmm that sexy pompadour tho!!!!! that scene wins for me lol
You know, ppl are saying billie eilish sound is original but I can see she's very inspired by lorde, I hear a lot of this in her music
Chipped Diamond I feel like her music video concepts are more inspired by Lorde, her music has much more piano and Lorde is more synth (well her first album at least)
Billie Eilish is pretty much Lana Del Rey + Lorde
@@fmjk7570 Yasss... totally.
Billie eillish is a wannabe lorde but with added edgyness and a god complex
@@discopatience hey they have their styles, even if she does seem edgy, at least she stylish af in her own way, same as lorde.
[Verse]
I'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm
And the scars that mark my body, they're silver and gold
My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones
It keeps my veins hot, the fire's found a home in me
I move through town, I'm quiet like a fire (Quiet like fire)
And my necklace is of rope, I tie it and untie it
[Pre-Chorus]
And now people talk to me, but nothing ever hits
So people talk to me, and all the voices just burn holes
[Chorus]
I'm done with it (oh)
This is the start of how it all ends
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
I'm speeding up and this is the
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
We're at the start, the colors disappear
I never watch the stars, there's so much down here
So I just try to keep up with them
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
[Verse]
I dream all year, but they're not the sweet kinds (sweet kinds, sweet)
And the shivers move down my shoulder blades in double time
And now people talk to me I'm slipping out of reach now
People talk to me, but all their faces blur
But I got my fingers laced together and I made a little prison
And I'm locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me

We're at the start, the colors disappear

So I just try to keep up with them
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat
Sparking up my heart
And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat-beat-beat-beat
Yes the right lyrics! Although I thought it was necklaces of rope are tired and untied, but whatever I love this song like an addiction, that I don't wanna give up!!!❤
素晴らしい
Never gets old, no matter how many times you play it
I've been vibing to Pure Heroine and Melodrama a lot lately. She is coming back soon, I can feel it. I'm so ready for her new era.
"She is coming back. I can feel it" why is that so funny 😂
She is!! Primavera Music Festival!!!
@@attyninigarado818 yes!! I just heard!! I'm so excited, I can't wait!! and I really hope the rumours are true and she releases her new album this summer.
@@ashara_rhaenys this aged so well
Ayyy
People dissing Lorde's moves aren't more than society robots who can't take someone doing something that is away from what people expect us to do.
Preach
True. People say they are so tired of the usual popstars who all sound the same and then someone different comes along and they can't handle it.
Approved.
So true
Those are just people who're used to seeing choreographies on songs and all that, which are more organized and sometimes really dull. I like Lorde's dance moves because they're not thought. They're felt. And done.
One of Lordes best songs, not that she really has any bad ones
I hope she does a theme song for the new Hunger Games movie: The Ballads of Songbirds and Snakes.
that would be so cool omfg
it's been literal years but no line has matched "they used to shout my name, now they whisper it" in terms of sheer rawness. still gives me goosebumps
ikr there is an intangible quality to this song, to all Lorde's songs tbh, that is sooo different from what I've heard before. I can't really put it into words, it's indescribable.
Angel on Fire by Halsey has that vibe
I've always loved that line, the delivery is perfect. It has a bit of an ambiguous meaning and feel to it, too. I always saw it as fame turning into a type of "notoriety" that's associated more with having power people don't want you to have than anything truly negative. Looking back at the lyric now, the meaning actually feels more literal, like the path she's taken herself in life. She definitely has distanced herself from the media (definitely social media) and seems more content to be a whispered name than one that's shouted.
it’s such a katniss line
@@m4r985and now it's such a Lucy's line
The line “they used to shout my name, now they whisper it." is so deep.
John Hall especially for Katniss Everdeen
John Hall the deepest line here along with the line "i never look at the stars theres so much down here".
John Hall It's not.
And now it's true. I haven't heard much of her since her latest album released.
Alejandro Rodriguez then you are on the wrong side of the internet.
this song is so brilliant
I love her energy level its on level 1000 from the beginning to the end she's dancing freely I love it
The whole video is a metaphore.
Lorde wearing the black suit represents Katniss rational part, the red suit represents her emotions, the black dress represents her courage and the white suit her kindness and hopes. In the first part we can see her rational part singing quietly, then, her emotions are in a empty road full of fog representing her confussion about love, until she starts her erratic dancing we can see the black suit starts dancing as well. Katniss is starting to show her emotions. Then the red suit is dancing in the middle of a circle full of lights, telling us the overexposure of her feelings by the capitol. Lorde with the black dress, first she is smiling with the people next to her "pretending to be one of then", as she walks through the party, she throws herself to the void. She can´t be one of them anymore, now Katniss is the face of the rebellion, the mockinjay. Like the song says, "they used to shout my name, now they whisper it" They are afraid of her. Her emotions now dance behind a curtain, she is containing her feelings beacuse she needs to be strong. Her rational part is messed up, she is becoming insane. Finally her kindness and hopes waits peacefully for the games to finally end.
Epic video, absolutely love it. Hope Lorde makes the soundtrack for the next movie.
Oh shit mind= blown
genius!
the video has now become 10 times better than it was before
i just notice the tv flashing but wow i never know that, im gonna watch it again and pay more attention
You are a revolutionary. The real MVP. The Lorde and Savior 👌👏👏
Lorde we need you back to save 2020🙏🏻

Why is Lorde so underrated ? She should win a grammy for her albums.... Who agrees ?
Hell yes she should!👑 She is Queen
She did.
Rohit Paultype. She got Best Pop Solo and Song of the Year both for Royals not for her albums.
she probably doesnt want to sacrifice children for satan so.. anytime a musician drops off the radio be thankful bc they are being freed
I agree !!
when Lorde dances like this it's beautiful and meaningful but when I do it looks like I'm having a seizure pfft hypocrisy
Nora Islam same but I do it anyway
Damn. God is not fair.
It's all about the lighting
Same
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Lorde is the single most creative artist of the last decade, many today don't come closer to her ❤️
I started listening to Lorde when “Pure Heroine” was out and can’t stop. Won’t stop. One of the most powerful singers of all times no matter what she does next.
i remember being 12 and coming home straight after seeing mockingjay part 1 and searching up this song and instantly falling in love with it and here i am almost 6 years later still in love with this song thank you lorde
Me too
UR PFP I----
lorde: succeeded at 17

@@graemehenderson1743 Who dafuq Hellish lmao
Gabriel Guerrero don’t even compare lorde and hellish. Billie is absolute bullshit
No because Lorde was the architect to an entire era with this song and the hunger games sound track. She deserves so much more credit
Lorde's eccentricity is so amazing. I love that she's different and doesn't do the same usual beat with the same usual music video with the same dumb lyrics we hear over and over again. Lorde haters can stop because they clearly can't appreciate, REAL MUSIC.
You wanna listen to real music, go listen to Warpaint.
How incredibly pretentious. If someone doesn't like this music (or prefers something else) their taste in music is fake.
Because your taste is always the "good taste." That's why it's _your_ taste, right? You are authentic. They are not. No one ever believes they're the wacky neighbor in someone else's sitcom...
Can't you just appreciate something without having to invalidate someone else?
Krystal Lake I get what you're saying. I'm wrong for that. BUT most of the people who are saying it sucks are the ones who listen to the bullshit.
TheKingsHeree Ah - but therein lies the rub! Define " _bullshit_ ." That's really what I took issue with. What is bullshit to you is golden to others - and vice-versa. "One man's garbage..." and such.
Although I'm not a big fan, I can see the redeeming qualities in Lorde's music. But just as many people have a deep connection to her music, people connect to that repetitive, mindless "big booty" pop that dominates the airwaves now. (I'm taking an educated guess that was what you meant by "bullshit." Right?) It has redeeming qualities, too. Just not for you. There's no need to insinuate that it's "fake" and diminish it's fans, like they're some sort of sub-human ignoramus who "can't comprehend MY amazing taste in music..."
Adding labels like 'real' and 'fake' outright dismiss it, and that's not really fair.
I used to be guilty of it, too. I love classic rock, and used to say that rap wasn't real music. But it speaks to a Hell of a lot of people, because it's bigger than ever. Even I am a fan of some rap now.
Sure, most of it is gratuitously shallow. (I don't think it ever claimed to be otherwise.) But some folks need 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' in their life more than they need 'Citizen Kane.'
[Honestly, I haven't gotten a lot of sleep. We just had a fairly big earthquake here. So I hope that makes sense.]
I'm not trying to bash you at all, King - so I hope you didn't take it like that. Perhaps I'm trying to explain an epiphany that I had one day, when I realized that there are people in the world who don't like the Beatles or The Who. [Wha? How?!? That is good, real music! ;-) ] But I would absolutely rather hang out with someone who listens to Lorde than, say, Iggy Azalea. They seem more interesting to talk with.
But it's all opinion. None of those artists' music are any more real than the others. Just different strokes.. Different life experiences speak to different people.
Music should make you think, feel, or both. Some prefer feel instead think. [read between the lines on what that means.. ;-) ]
We like what we like, _because_ we like it! ;-) That is what makes it good.
Also, it may not be only the "bullshit" fans who hate Lorde. It may be the aged 30+ old fogeys who don't quite relate to it, or find a youthful naiveté in her music. I may have outed my old self here. :-) (Except I don't really hate any artist. No room or time for hate.)
Sorry for the monologue. Might be time for a nap now. Yes.. fuzzy blankets and comfy pillows... Take care, King!
Bet TheKingsHeree was like "too long, didnt read" lol
This video was uploaded NOVERMER 6...Just one day before her 18th birthday..She was only 17 here guys! She got a gift guys, and NOBODY can take this away...
Lorde is a kiwi and one of us. Extremely Talented, Incredible Vocals. Congratulations from New Zealand 🇳🇿 👏 ❤️
I love her dances, it's like she's just one with the music and she doesn't give a shit about anything else
Natasha Sagar thats why i love it cause i do it, she feels the music its inside her :D
Look up AURORA's live performances. (You can see the music flowing through her)
Me too
I kind of dance the same haha.
Maybe it's a Kiwi thing.
Hmm
*anyone
Here is what I love about this video. She looks like Katherine Hepburn in the first scene. Or possibly the girl from Blade Runner. The hair, the classy shirt, the slacks, classic! The gas lamp and the wallpaper, with the scrolling black and white t.v. cast all of these amazing reflections. Then the brief scene where she is at the bus stop in the white and all the panels reflect the white. All of it is very visually interesting and makes the subliminal part of your mind branch out while hearing the lyrics. Vocally and musically it is complex. She uses a derivation of Tibetan throat singing as the undertone, then interjects the melody which is rich in double meaning. When she talks about making her prison, and then you read some of the comments below, you realize that here is a 17 year old who has been thrust out into the world to be evaluated on her looks, her style, her dancing ability, and her music. You certainly understand that she has made a trade off and that the reality of fame is not as glamorous as the dream of fame. Speaking of dancing ability, she has more of a rocker vibe. It suits the mood of the song and the raw feel of her music. It's not a choreography. No one ever accused a rocker of being able to dance, and all of them have done well anyway. I think it's badass!
Wise words Lornicopia

i love men !! ♥♥♥
Just watching the dance is enough
the song is already perfect
Racing to this song in the Crew 2 is always incredible
When you're 26 and you look up to and admire a 16 year-old hahaha.
Lorde is so cool. I honestly get so much inspiration and confidence from listening to her music
She's 18
Eloise Kelly my bad. I just remember when she first got popular she was 16 so that was the age I went with. My point still stands though.
heather23renae I always thought she was older than me until I looked it up. She looks so mature like a 26-year-old. :D Well, I'm 2 and a half years older than her which is not that much. I admire her too and I LOVE her music. She's really creative and talented. She's young but still very ambitious. I have utmost respect for her. :) Can't wait to hear her future work.
She was 16 when she gained global fame she's 18 now!!! Just going to drop that by bc some people seem to think she's 16 and it's kinda funny to think that she wood never age. I mean she is 'Lorde' so it would make sense
**would
This woman has created her own style, she is in tuned with herself, and her soul. you could tell by the way she dances, sings, and moves. A good spirit!
I love u lorde!!
TheDavisfreak and her songs talk about real stuff.
Woman? She's a child :)
But yes, she make great songs
Andrew Karaushu nope, woman
yes!!! :)
What makes this even crazier is that she was so young at the time, I was in awe back then and still am
Her songs are brilliant and this is no exception. Amazing song
Just finished rewatching The Hunger Games series, totally worth it.
Always
lmao same
Just re read it for the idk 14th? time
same. will forever cry for rue and finnick, like its the first time watching
Hunger games series are the best movie/book series of all time, real or not real?
Definitely real!
Lol
Who thinks Lorde is underrated?
Clearly her music is unmatched and even older singers cannot match her awesomeness
Best 18 year old singer today
Justin bieber is nothing compared to Lorde yet he gets more attention :(
Bullshit. Who gives a crap about Bieber anymore?
She won two Grammys. Underrated is hardly the word to describe her. And I haven't heard anything about Bieber music wise in months. He's too busy doing whatever he does.

lol DONT COMPARE JUSTIN WITH LORDE. they have different style of music
Hey everyone, we are two sisters making music together and we are LIANA.
You may like our music if you listen to Lorde, just give us a chance, we *won't* let you down!
Click on our name to listen to our single 'I'll Rip Your Heart Out'. Thank you so much
Honestly one of my favorite videos in terms of videography and artistic movement. I can only hope to be close to a fraction this good after years of practice
Nov 2023 still feeling it
Why do people hate on Lorde? She's not afraid to be herself. So her dancing is not like others but it proves she's being herself. It's her style. We grow up on the "idea" of what dancing should be but in my opinion everyone can dance wether it fits the idea or not. So her dancing isn't in the "idea" but it's HER. That's why I love Lorde. She stays true to herself. We need more singers like her.
Cause she is different....
Idiots everywhere
Χρηστος Νικολαου I love that she's different. Most of the music now a days is to similar. We need more singers like Lorde.
lotus flower by radiohead. tom is dancing like crazy and its amazing, lorde does the same - its fenomenal
klaudyo I'll check it out
It would better to say I do not like her music rather than hate. Wrong word I feel.
lordes sound is what history has never seen before, it’s remarkable, it sounds weird, but just hauntingly beautiful.
💚💚💚💚💚💚
@angeloeastblanco ok boomer
@angeloeastblanco Learn how to spell, boomer
angeloeastblanco boomers...I guess y'all never learnt how to spell
I like Lorde and k Flay's voices they are so nice and beautiful
"But I got my fingers laced together and I made a little prison,
And I'm locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me"
These lyrics literally give me chills, so cool
All her songs are so real. its hard not to fall in love with them.
I love the way Lorde dances because it's honestly relatable. I know most of us won't admit it, but when you really feel music and don't care about others, when you just let go, you dance like this. I know I dance like this sometimes haha.
No
The best dance EVEEEEEEER
the dance her are your symbol.
been on repeat 24/7 since I discovered it like 4 days ago😭😭this is such a vibe swr🤯❤️I feel like I'm in the music video🥴came here from Team, Tennis Court and Royals🤞🏾💕
I don't know why the fck did it take me so long to get into Lorde's music, she and her music are amazing
0:35 my butt is a fly lol
XD
It cannot be unheard now.....
So that was her butt in the beginning buzzing
Lysai lmaoooooo maybe
my butter is a fly
I so appreciate how talented she is artistically - she's definitely got that "something."
I think that besides the talent and amazing songwriting, she's found so much success because we all watch her to try and figure her out.
Avonlea Montague She's a complete original :D
I agree! She's amazing. 😍
Lorde lives in the song, feeling the music.😍
I watched the hunger games for the past few weeks and it really takes me back
[Verse 1]
I'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm
And the scars that mark my body, they're silver and gold
My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones
It keeps my veins hot, the fire's found a home in me
I move through town, I’m quiet like a fight
And my necklace is of rope, I tie it and untie it
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And now people talk to me, but nothing ever hits home
People talk to me, and all the voices just burn holes
I’m done with it (ooh)
[Chorus]
This is the start of how it all ends
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
I'm speeding up and this is the
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
We’re at the start, the colors disappear
I never watch the stars, there’s so much down here
So I just try to keep up with them
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
[Verse 2]
I dream all year, but they're not the sweet kinds
And the shivers move down my shoulder blades in double time
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And now people talk to me I'm slipping out of reach now
People talk to me, and all their faces blur
But I got my fingers laced together and I made a little prison
And I'm locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me
I’m done with it (ooh)
[Chorus]
This is the start of how it all ends
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
I'm speeding up and this is the
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
We’re at the start, the colors disappear
I never watch the stars, there’s so much down here
So I just try to keep up with them
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
[Outro]
And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat
Sparking up my heart
And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat-beat-beat-beat
God bless you
Isn't it princess carved from marble?
Queen of dark pop
sam eve agree. Also Lana del Rey
The fuck is dark pop. This song is art pop or electropop..........
Duchess of Altos
Listen to Bjork
Even darker you'll find Grimes and Alice Glass.
