Lorde Releases the "Yellow Flicker Beat" Music Video & Talks About Her Inspiration

Lorde has released the new music video for "Yellow Flicker Beat" off the Mockingjay Part 1 Original Soundtrack. What do you guys think of it?

Here's what Lorde had to say about the music video on her tumblr:

This video is something i’m really proud of. There are so many beautiful shots and moments, and it’s really worth watching it a few times (in the highest possible quality ;~)) to see all the details.

when i was dreaming it up, i wasn’t thinking too hard about story or a specific narrative, more a mood; a harsh, crackling heat. yellow flicker beat is about katniss realizing that things have crossed a line, about being pushed to the edge and right over it. my character in this video, whether she’s weaving her way through a decadent ballroom, hiding out in a grimy, neon-lit motel room (her hair ever-so-slightly dishevelled), or waiting in the night for her bus to come dressed in her whitest clothes, is a shapeshifter, full of intensity and impulse, kind of like katniss. whether she’s in a small space or a cavernous one, she’s fiery.

 i don’t really know what i’m trying to explain to you here, but don’t read the video like a story, just let it take you somewhere.
