Tuesday’s Tune: Royals
“lately i’ve been waking up at four or five a.m., turning things over in my head. so much to think about, so much to break down and process and decide. i’m only at the beginning, but it has always been important to me that everything feels cool, feels right. this song means a hell of a lot to me, and to others, and i guess what i tried to do is make something you could understand. a lot of people think teenagers live in this world like ‘skins’ every weekend or whatever, but truth is, half the time we aren’t doing anything cooler than playing with lighters, or waiting at some shitty stop. that’s why this had to be real. and i’m at that particular train station every week. those boys are my friends. callum’s wearing a sweater that used to belong to me. so it all feels right, and i can sleep. thanks for being with me all the way so far — so much to come, such great heights. i’m just getting started. enjoy.”

Lorde. She’s a kiwi. She’s awesome (at 16yrs old and signed to Universal). This song, Royals, is both beautiful and bad-ass. Bad-ass because it is so real. So nice to listen to lyrics that are written by the artist about what actually goes on in their lives. This is the brand new video for her first single, Royals. A job very well done by Director, Joel Kefali.
FEAT. ROBBIE, CALLUM, HADLEY, ABRAHAM. DIRECTED BY JOEL KEFALI.
