Jennifer Lawrence: The Mockingjay Sings (Literal translation "My Song Of Revolt")

In five years she’s received three Academy Award nominations, won an Oscar, and brought two billion dollars to the Hollywood box office with her movies. On November, 21, Jennifer Lawrence returns for the third installment of The Hunger Games, but she has a dream: relax.

"Nice to meet you," says Jennifer Lawrence, shaking my hand. Shining, frank, with a natural make-up, a brilliant white smile and intense eyes. "We met before," I say. She blushes. "I’m sorry." "It was a long time ago in Venice, you were a teenager!" "Oh my God!" she says. "When I came to the Film Festival for The Burning Plain , I was 18 years old, and I kept looking around asking myself: ‘Am I really in Venice? Someone pinch me!’ Since that moment, in just a few years, so many things happened, a lot of movies, awards, experiences beyond words.”

Listen to "Yellow Flicker Beat" The New 'Mockingjay Part 1' Single by Lorde

Check out Lorde's brand new single "Yellow Flicker Beat" from the Mockingjay Part 1 soundtrack!

Lorde talked about the song on KROQ this morning. Major Mockingjay Part 1 plot point *SPOILERS* are revealed here so proceed with caution if you haven't read the book! 

“Basically I wrote the song specifically for the movie, it wasn’t something that I had a draft of previously. I reread the books, and I just wanted to tap into everything that Katniss is feeling in that film and what’s the crazy stuff that goes on. One of the things that happened in the book which to me felt like this crazy turning point was her best friend Peeta tries to kill her, he’s been brainwashed and tries to strangle her. It just felt like something so irreparable and something that the characters couldn’t turn back from. I felt like Katniss was like ‘okay, I’m taking names. I’m coming for blood. You don’t do these types of things to my friends and family and get away with it.’ I just wanted to make something kind of dark and haunting.”

On how she got into the mindset to write "Yellow Flicker Beat."

"It’s weird because everything that the character could think or feel is already kind of laid out for you in the book. You can’t take that many leaps, it becomes your song and not their song so it was definitely about keeping in that mindset and just thinking about ‘What would Katniss do?,’ but she’s such an awesome character to write for and it was such an awesome experience. There couldn’t have been a better character for me to write from the perspective of.”

I'm going to be listening to the song on repeat all day. 

I've got my fingers laced together, I made a little prison. And I'm locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me"

Lorde posted the full lyrics to Yellow Flicker Beat to her tumblr. Check them out HERE.
