catching fire,

listener's digest,
lorde,
tears for fears
—
On Lorde's cover of the Tears For Fears classic - which will be appearing on the soundtrack for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - she seems to have a clear understanding of how dark the song is, perhaps even more so than Roland Orzabal did when he wrote it. The song becomes dreary and dirge like, a mourning of how society becomes compromised in the relentless pursuit of power.
As a song intended for a movie about a Dystopian future where poor kids kill each other in a competition than the upper class gleefully watches, it's a perfect fit. We've already established that Lorde is an extremely talented songwriter, but with this, we see that she is quite adept at interpreting the work of others as well.
