The song is catchy, I like it.
they lyrics are a 'smurf you' to the pop music cliches of diamonds and fast cars and mansions and stuff, she's saying that the normal person just does not care about this shiz, at least that's what i get out of it.
it's cool if you guys aren't into pop music but it's refreshing to see a young woman making waves in the music business without submitting to the typical requirements of pop songs and undressing for the 'razzi. i just hope the hounds don't do to her what they did to britney et al. i also think it's cool she managed to do so much with so little (the song is mostly just her voice and some drums)
I actually find myself quite enjoying this song. Same goes for Tennis Courts and Bravado. I hope she manages to stick around for a while, the pop charts could use a bit more diversity.
I don't see how this song can be avoided unless you live in a hole. I'm okay with the song; it's catchy and all, but I would never bother listening to it for my own pleasure. It's just something that will be on someone's radio or like Shlup said, in the background of promos.
If you don't listen to the radio or watch TV you live in a hole now. o_O
Yeah, I hadn't heard of this person before this thread, and still haven't heard the song.
I'm tempted to look it up, because according to Vivi22 she looks like she's part fish.
Your mileage may vary on how entertaining you find her appearance, but it's probably worth a quick google image search.
I think she's pretty. Her hair is amazing. Not sure what that has to do with her talent, though.
I never said it had anything to do with her talent. She's not bad looking mind you, but her eyes are a bit distracting.
How is it amazing? It just looks like hair to me.
It's so thick, big, and curly! I love it.
Yeah. It's been ages since I actually listened to normal radio stations, and I only watch TV like once a week. When I do, it's never programs where they show music videos, or talk shows where they have artists perform. I'd say we both just live in a different hole than Shiny!If you don't listen to the radio or watch TV you live in a hole now. o_O
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
Is that not normal?
NYC Mayor-Elect Bill de Blasio Celebrates Win With Lorde's 'Royals' (Video)
Bill de Blasio and the Politics of Lorde?s ?Royals? ? Flavorwire
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/07/ny...his-theme.html
New York City mayor-elect Bill De Blasio used "Royals" as his victory song after winning the New York City mayor election. The song ties in with his message about "a tale of two cities," referring to the wealthy few and the struggling majority. The current outgoing mayor, Michael Bloomberg, is one of those rich businessmen, and although he did do a good job as the mayor of New York City, De Blasio seems to be a critic, because Bloomberg hailed from the wealthy few.
"Royals" is a song about rejecting the greedy and lavish, extravagant possessions that many wealthy people possess, and want more of, and De Blasio rejects those kinds of things, so it made sense for him to pick this song as his victory song.
He is married to an African-American woman and has two biracial children with her.
Is that your final answer?
How is this even tangentially related?
