We thought we’d have to way until November to hear anything, but Lorde’s already put the lead single online. Woohoo. She took to her Tumblr to break the news, writing a blog from her tour bus ‘moving through desert halfway between utah and las vegas [sic]’ and saying she spends most nights in her bedroom on the bus writing music and recording demos for the soundtrack, which makes us wonder if she’s recording more than just one song for the film? We assumed she would record one, then curate a selection of other people’s songs for the rest of it, but maybe, just maybe we’re getting even more original Lorde than we could have hoped for. ‘i set up in this little bed office,’ she wrote. ‘i work from midnight until late on the soundtrack, singing into my computer, listening to demos and final mixes. my bus sleeps. we are almost at the end, the point where this soundtrack gets taken away from me and becomes something real… yellow flicker beat. 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.’ While many celebrities say they stay off the internet and ‘the blogs’ because they don’t like what they read about themselves, Lorde actually revealed she feels most ‘happy and safe’ online. ‘it’s no coincidence i’m posting this note here, where i feel the most happy and safe online, the place where i laugh the most and where every day, i feel like people get 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. thankyou for being here.’ Listen to Yellow Flicker Beat here Picture: Getty http://www.vevo.com/watch/lorde/Yellow-Flicker-Beat-%28From-The-Hunger-Games-Mockingjay-Part-1%29-%28Audio%29/USUV71402249?syndicationid=bb8a16ab-1279-4f17-969b-1dba5eb60eda&shortlink=ELjkPo&country=US&referralurl=http:%2F%2Flordemusic.tumblr.com%2Fpost%2F98727189651%2Fyellow-flicker-beat-and-an-anniversary"){href='/wp-admin/We%20were%20very%20excited%20when%20we%20heard%20Lorde%20would%20be%20curating%20the%20soundtrack%20for%20the%20The%20Hunger%20Games:%20Mockingjay%20%E2%80%93%20Part%201%20movie,%20and%20a%20lot%20of%20that%20excitement%20was%20down%20to%20the%20prospect%20of%20a%20new%20song%20written%20specially%20for%20the%20film.%20We%20thought%20we%E2%80%99d%20have%20to%20way%20until%20November%20(when%20the%20movie%20comes%20out)%20to%20hear%20anything,%20but%20Lorde%E2%80%99s%20already%20put%20the%20lead%20single%20online.%20Woohoo.%20%20%20%20She%20took%20to%20her%20Tumblr%20to%20break%20the%20news,%20writing%20a%20blog%20from%20her%20tour%20bus%20%E2%80%98moving%20through%20desert%20halfway%20between%20utah%20and%20las%20vegas%20%5Bsic%5D%E2%80%99%20and%20saying%20she%20spends%20most%20nights%20in%20her%20bedroom%20on%20the%20bus%20writing%20music%20and%20recording%20demos%20for%20the%20soundtrack,%20which%20makes%20us%20wonder%20if%20she%E2%80%99s%20recording%20more%20than%20just%20one%20song%20for%20the%20film?%20We%20assumed%20she%20would%20record%20one,%20then%20curate%20a%20selection%20of%20other%20people%E2%80%99s%20songs%20for%20the%20rest%20of%20it,%20but%20maybe,%20just%20maybe%20we%E2%80%99re%20getting%20even%20more%20original%20Lorde%20than%20we%20could%20have%20hoped%20for.%20%20%E2%80%98i%20set%20up%20in%20this%20little%20bed%20office,%E2%80%99%20she%20wrote.%20%E2%80%98i%20work%20from%20midnight%20until%20late%20on%20the%20soundtrack,%20singing%20into%20my%20computer,%20listening%20to%20demos%20and%20final%20mixes.%20my%20bus%20sleeps.%20we%20are%20almost%20at%20the%20end,%20the%20point%20where%20this%20soundtrack%20gets%20taken%20away%20from%20me%20and%20becomes%20something%20real%E2%80%A6%20yellow%20flicker%20beat.%20it%E2%80%99s%20my%20first%20offering%20from%20what%20i%20hope%20will%20be%20a%20soundtrack%20you%20love.%20it%E2%80%99s%20my%20attempt%20at%20getting%20inside%20her%20head,%20katniss%E2%80%99.%20i%20hope%20you%20like%20it.%E2%80%99%20%20%20While%20many%20celebrities%20say%20they%20stay%20off%20the%20internet%20and%20%E2%80%98the%20blogs%E2%80%99%20because%20they%20don%E2%80%99t%20like%20what%20they%20read%20about%20themselves,%20Lorde%20actually%20revealed%20she%20feels%20most%20%E2%80%98happy%20and%20safe%E2%80%99%20online.%20%20%20%20%20%E2%80%98it%E2%80%99s%20no%20coincidence%20i%E2%80%99m%20posting%20this%20note%20here,%20where%20i%20feel%20the%20most%20happy%20and%20safe%20online,%20the%20place%20where%20i%20laugh%20the%20most%20and%20where%20every%20day,%20i%20feel%20like%20people%20get%20me.%20i%20never%20knew%20i%20could%20feel%20such%20a%20warm%20heart%20for%20this%20many%20people%20at%20once.%20thankyou%20for%20hearing%20about%20me%20all%20those%20months%20ago,%20and%20sticking%20around.%20thankyou%20for%20being%20here.%E2%80%99%20%20%20%20Listen%20to%20Yellow%20Flicker%20Beat%20here%20%20%20%20Picture:%20Getty%20%20%20http:/www.vevo.com/watch/lorde/Yellow-Flicker-Beat-%28From-The-Hunger-Games-Mockingjay-Part-1%29-%28Audio%29/USUV71402249?syndicationid=bb8a16ab-1279-4f17-969b-1dba5eb60eda&shortlink=ELjkPo&country=US&referralurl=http:%2F%2Flordemusic.tumblr.com%2Fpost%2F98727189651%2Fyellow-flicker-beat-and-an-anniversary' }for the The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1, and a lot of that excitement was down to the prospect of a new song written specially for the film. We thought we’d have to wait until November (when the movie comes out) to hear anything, but Lorde’s already put the lead single Yellow Flicker Beat online. Woohoo.
She took to her Tumblr to break the news, in a blog posted from her tour bus (‘moving through desert halfway between utah and las vegas' [sic]), in which she revealed she spends most nights in her bedroom on the bus writing music and recording demos for the soundtrack.

There was something else she said too, that was very interesting; While many celebrities say they stay off the internet and ‘the blogs’ because they don’t like what they read about themselves, Lorde actually revealed she feels most ‘happy and safe’ online.
‘it’s no coincidence i’m posting this note here, where i feel the most happy and safe online, the place where i laugh the most and where every day, i feel like people get 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. thankyou for being here.’
