However, I recognize that these belongings will never control me The small shiny objects I bought energize me Getting pumped up from the little bright things I bought My youthfulness is bound by the present moment I am always pursuing the ton of things I desireĪnd I am only as young as the minute is full of it Never not chasing a million things I want I engage in such activities for the excitement they give me Repeating clever phrases over and over again is uninteresting to meīecause I'm doing this for the thrill of it, killin' it Making smart with their words again, well I'm bored She's happy with her friends and is willing to go against the grain and show people how little she cares about their opinions.ĭon't you think that it's boring how people talkĭo you not find it tedious how individuals speak? She's not afraid to take risks, but she's also cautious about not letting fame and success define her. Flume is about how the singer is young and wants to live life to the fullest. The chorus is repeated again, emphasizing how little the singer cares about what others think about her and how happy she is with her friends. Everything is fine as long as they're all on the same page, but she knows that it's not going to last forever. She loves her friends, but they can also be a hindrance to her success. The second verse expresses the singer's anxieties about becoming famous and how she's afraid that the wicked games of Hollywood will corrupt her. They're both happy and scared, but they still go down to the tennis court and talk it up as if they have no cares in the world. The chorus is about how the singer and her friends don't care about what others think about them. She feels young and energized and gets pumped up by the things she buys, but she knows that they will never define her or own her. The singer is doing what she's doing for the thrill of it and chasing after things she wants. Flume speaks about how people talk smart and make small talk, which can be boring. The first verse of Tennis Court by Lorde ft. Getting caught soft with the triple is it How can I fuck with the fun again, when I'm knownĪnd my boys trip me up with their heads again, loving themĮverything's cool when we're all in line, for the throne I'll see the veins of my city like they do in spaceīut my head's filling fast with the wicked games, up in flames Pretty soon I'll be getting on my first plane Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (yeah) We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear Now, give us what the people NEED.It's a new art form showing people how little we care (yeah) Seriously though, imagine hearing that infamous horse noise - THE horse noise that defined electronic music - on Spotify? Flume, you’ve given us what the people want - a remix of Eiffel 65’s Blue. In many ways, Flume’s Tennis Court remix was crucial in the Australian producer’s international rise - and, to a degree, Lorde’s rise too - and the fact that it’s not officially available on Spotify is a near-war crime worthy of the Governer General’s attention. It’s a national travesty that’s no doubt tied up to label deals and songwriting/production rights, but a national travesty nonetheless. How can we enjoy this new remix of Flume’s when the best one he’s done - the infamous flip of Lorde’s Tennis Court - won’t randomly come on when you shuffle your Spotify / Apple Music playlists, on the basis of it not being available on streaming? How is it that after six years of being thumped at every house party / club night there is on the planet, it won’t be able to come on at a house party, without having someone awkwardly load up YouTube and sit through an advert or two for it to happen? How is it that one of the best electronic songs ever created, is absent from the millions of playlists that think they feature the best electronic songs ever? It’s everything you could’ve dreamed of - a Hottest 100 winning remix in the making - that sees the old classic modernised and switched up with that signature Flume glitch, all in a bit of fun that keeps us going. It was a very Tobias Funke-esque moment that had many questioning whether: 1) it was a legit remix on the way and 2) whether Flume had finally joined the Blue Man Group.Īs it turns out, the remix eventually did get finished and it’s just been made available on streaming services today, some two months following the initial tease. Around two months ago, Flume posted an Instagram that had him blasting a remix of Eiffel 65’s infamous Blue song (yes, the “ I'm blue da ba dee da ba daa” song), while coated in blue paint. If you’ve been online this morning, chances are you’ve seen Flume blue himself.
