The music on Lorde's 'Melodrama' reflects the wealth of emotions the New Zealand native has experienced of late, and they’re rendered with the kind of poise we’ve come to expect from the pop superstar. Her voice, the melodies, the arrangements she’s chosen to help landscape her feelings - this critically-acclaimed second album is particularly fetching because the 20-year-old singer trusts her idiosyncrasies to fuel her eloquence. “Let’s let things come out of the woodwork,” she coos on “Homemade Dynamite.” That’s what makes the six performances of ‘Vevo X Lorde’ so powerful as well. All her best ideas naturally seep to the surface. Filmed at Electric Lady Sound Studios in New York’s West Village, the mid-August session found Lorde moving through key songs from ‘Melodrama,’ providing each with the proper temperament for the occasion. The set list features “The Louvre,” “Sober,” “Writer In The Dark,” “Supercut,” “Homemade Dynamite,” and “Hard Feelings”/ “Loveless” – she chose to spotlight some of the album’s most vivid moments. Whether backed by a small ensemble, playing the piano alone, or singing a cappella with a squad of vocalists and a beatbox, she brings invention and intensity to the performances. The soft addition of strings and brass adds to the show’s intimacy, and the drama that she’s built a rep on is central to every moment. Jack Antonoff of Bleachers, who produced and co-wrote parts of ‘Melodrama,’ arrives on “Writer In The Dark” to support his pal as well.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

A couple rebel top gun pilots

Flying with nowhere to be

Don't know you super well

But I think that you might be the same as me

Behave abnormally

[Pre-Chorus]

Let's let things come out of the woodwork

I'll give you my best side, tell you all my best lies

Yeah, awesome right?

So let's let things come out of the woodwork

I'll give you my best side, tell you all my best lines

Seeing me rolling, showing someone else love

Dancing with our shoes off

Know I think you're awesome, right?

[Chorus]

Our rules, our dreams, we're blind

Blowing shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired

Blowing shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Blowing shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

[Verse 2]

Might get your friend to drive, but he can hardly see

We'll end up painted on the road

Red and chrome

All the broken glass sparkling

I guess we're partying

[Pre-Chorus]

So let's let things come out of the woodwork

I'll give you my best side, tell you all my best lies

Seeing me rolling, showing someone else love

Hands under your t-shirt

Know I think you're awesome, right?

[Chorus]

Our rules, our dreams, we're blind

Blowing shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired

Blowing shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Blowing shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Now you know it's really gonna blow

Our rules, our dreams, we're blind

Blowing shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired

Blowing shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Blowing shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Blowing shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

[Outro]

Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired

Blowing shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired

Blowing shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamiteI know, I know we on to somethin'

We got, we got a loaded gun, yeah

Go and shoot me the look in your eyes

And you're here, I'm yours, you're mine

Find each other when we're losin' our minds

Then we take it all off

You're a runaway train, yeah

And you got me so faded

And I don't wanna chase it, no

You know I think you're awesome, right?

[Chorus: All]

Our rules, our dreams, we're blind

Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired

Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite, yeah, yeah

Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Blowin' shit up

[Outro: Lorde]

Now you know it's really gonna blow
