Extra Minutes | How Lorde sees sound as colour

so you had synesthesia so you see sounds of color yeah yeah is that kind of had since you were born I yeah I have had it um I mean ever since I can remember it's a definitely an interesting thing when it comes to making music and for it to be so kind of multi you know multi-sensory that's almost like a sixth sense I mean or maybe that sounds quite fancy I'll take it and you feel like a real hippie talking about this so let's take this sort of sometimes it's like a bit of a cloud of like color that will hang in the air like it's not a flat color it's like this dip to it and sometimes you can see through it and sometimes it's more dense you know we are caught up in your love affair and we'll never be my it don't run in our blood that kind of Lux to pay for us we crave a different kind of buzz let me be your the song light Royals that has always been gold it is a key always oh gold that makes sense Chinese eyes like yeah but I can't [Music] I do I even need to ask we do a new single green light that's an issue one because the whole song was just appearing so green before I'd written that line or anything I remember driving home over the Brooklyn Bridge in the back of a cab and just seeing this moving green like as they couldn't really see out the window because I was just seeing this green and then I think you're subconsciously I kind of got around to this green light then you know it's not often that you can actually work the color into the lyrics of the song that that one was just so obvious I could literally see that green just in front of my kind of eyes [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause]
