#yellow flicker beat

“The scars that mark my body, they’re silver and gold

My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones

It keeps my veins hot, the fires find a home in me.”

Lorde- Yellow Flicker Beat

[poprocklyrics]

I got my fingers laced together and I made a little prison and I'm locking up everyone that ever laid a finger on me

Yellow Flicker Beat, Lorde

37 for Spotify wrapped? 💜

It's a throwback! The release of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes film earlier this year reminded me how much I loved this song back in the day:

Thank you so much! 😊

I don’t know what it is about Yellow Flicker Beat but that intro feels like something both holy and lonesome. As if you’re the last on the battlefield, humming sadly, knowing that some god chose you and only you to live. You’re grateful for the life you have kept, yet mourn the life that was lost. The shadow of who you were before the slaughter will forever haunt you, just as unspeakable things have been done in the name of peace. How will you ever recover?

🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?

🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?

🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?

I mean, for the sheer crackiness of the premise, I think I have to go with A Girl In Trouble (Is a Temporary Thing). Also a wild ride to write, since it was intended to be a one-shot and grew multiple chapters and feelings and stuff. I guess I should’ve known that using the show I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant as an inspiration would go to unexpected places. Last Friday Night is an early fic I wrote that was just extremely random and a bit of a ride as well.

🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?

That depends on what “while you write” means. I can’t really listen to anything with words while I’m putting actual words on paper, because my brain wants to follow the lyrics of the song instead of pay attention. However, listening to music and taking a walk, driving somewhere in my car, cleaning my house, etc does figure into my writing process quite a lot. I start thinking of scenes and then play little movies in my head, for which various songs are the soundtrack, and that often gets me started on a scene that I actually write down later on.

Song on a loop: I recently discovered Lorde’s “Yellow Flicker Beat,” and it feels perfect for Leia. At some point I may write a fic inspired by it.

Thank you so much for the ask!

Send me an emoji to ask a fanfic writer question!

— Yellow Flicker Beat by Lorde

[bitingdown17]

i remember being in middle school and thinking "they used to shout my name now they whisper it" was the coolest line ever. i was like damn i wish that were me

[supermusicallee]

they used to cheer when they saw my face, now, i fear i have fallen from grace 🤝🏼 they used to shout my name, now they whisper it

[solanum--tuberosum]

Thinking about the two line epic that is

They used to shout my name

Now they whisper it

Like goddamn there is a whole story and arc and tension in it

[cyberpunkplaylist]

I said I owed you two today. So more movie music for the second.

This was used for the end credits for The Hunger Games:  Mockingjay.  The very deliberate unceasing beat feels like someone striding through the last action set piece on fantastic badass movie.  Which it kinda was.  But dig these lyrics, folks. I'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm And the scars that mark my body, they're silver and gold My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones It keeps my veins hot, the fires find a home in me I move through town, I'm quiet like a fire And my necklace is of opal, I tie it and untie it

And our people talk to me, but nothing ever hits So people talk to me, and all the voices just burn holes

I'm going in (ooh) This is the start of how it all ever ends They used to shout my name, now they whisper it I'm speeding up and this is the Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart We rip the start, the colors disappear I never watch the stars there's so much down here So I just try to keep up with them Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart

Well, it’s fun for me to think of my V firing through some finale finally resolved.  Miyamoto Musashi'’s blood in her veins, and the void book of Go Rin No Sho in her chromed eyes.
