As promised, Lorde has unveiled her new single, Yellow Flicker Beat, from the soundtrack of The Hunger Games -- Mockingjay Part 1. The song starts quietly, but builds to a strong chorus with heavy percussion. In a Tumblr posting, Lorde says, It’s my first offering from what i hope will be a soundtrack you love. it’s my attempt at getting inside her head: katniss’. i hope you like it. In a recorded intro to the song, Lorde further explains that the song was inspired by the character of Katniss -- thatd be Katniss Everdeen, the heroine of The Hunger Games, played by Jennifer Lawrence. She adds, It was about kinda trying to get inside her head right at the end of Mockingjay -- Part 1. Shes obviously kind of in emotional turmoil, everythings crazy, and she wants to take names, she wants to reckon with people. And it was kind of about channeling that. In the same posting, Lorde also acknowledges the one-year anniversary of the release of her debut album, Pure Heroine, saying, The past year of my life has seen everything around me multiply in size and number -- the stamps on my passport, the number of people i have to ask before i ride on the ferris wheel after my set at a festival, the decibels that follow me when i walk around in public. the other thing that’s grown is me -- my fitness, my mental stamina, my ability to think clearly and make decisions -- but most of all, my capacity for love. Lorde continues, the thousands upon thousands (wait, millions(?!!)) of you who bought pure heroine truly feel like friends to me...i never knew i could feel such a warm heart for this many people at once. thankyou for hearing about me all those months ago, and sticking around.
