i am in paris as i release this. every street we drive down makes my eyes pop with the most incredible things carved in stone, and gilded on pillars, and wrought with metal; the heroes and heroines of this city aren't so hard to find. this song's are a little more mismatched, less classic courtesans on their pedestals, but nonetheless brilliant. this song is kinda of that world, and at the same time, very much of this one. enjoy.
I just noticed that this song and royals have the same message that we don't have everything in life but we are fine what we have
Kaj Davis And you are part of a team who are just like you
Anyone have any more song suggestions that have the same vibe/message? Cause those two are the only ones I can find.
Fun fact, this song is for our military and how their families sacrifice so much for our freedom. “They won’t dance until we live city’s / you’ll never see on screen / not very pretty but we show them how to run free”. “And you know, we’re on each other’s team”. Our military and their families go through so much for us to have a chance at a better life. Don’t sell America short, we are better than socialism
exactly
I was glad you noticed 5 years ago
Whenever I hear this song it males me cry and rember how perfect things were when I was little.
Omg same.. So much young memories i missed.
@Number_One_E.M.O well probably because when some people are younger and they first here a song and they grow up and it flashes back to that first memory when you first heard that song.. That same thing happens with a certain smell too
@Number_One_E.M.O and then you realize how much youve grown and wanna go back to those good times
@Number_One_E.M.O oh sorry lol
Fun fact, this song was written about our military and how the families sacrifice so much. “They won’t dance until we live in cities / you’ll never see on screen / not very pretty but we show them how to run free” “And you know we’re on each other’s team”
I remember hearing this song on the radio when I was in elementary school and i didn't realize how happy, sad, and nostalgic i would be when i hear this song years later as I'm in high school I'm getting major flashbacks to sitting in the backseat of the car and making my own little music videos for this haha!
Same
ditto
I didn't even realize it has been that long 😶
my exact thoughts
I was in jail when I heard this
this audio gives 2013-2014 life having fun. not worrying about anything. people weren’t as toxic, life was just… good.
unfortunately those times will not return😢😢😢😢
i feel the same thing
TRUE, JUST OUTSIDE CHILLING
People were toxic, they just showed it on the outside less...
Good times, but its 2022 and life is shit
I have a feeling that in 10 years i'll hear this song and reminisce about how good the times were back then.
if you make it
have the same feeling now listening to the song 4 years later :D
bmo dur
it's been 4 years since you commented. How good were the times back then?
I love pets. I remembered how i was excited to buy a fish. I was listening this song on the way :')
this makes me depressed and inspired at the same time...possible?
Very possible.
Perfect possible, I love melancolic music 💆🏽♂️
I guess so
Honestly as someone who draw... I’m always more inspired when I’m depressed than when I’m happy... 🤷🏻♂️ Which is kinda sad 😂
Sameee
"everyone's competing for a love they won't receive" this hits hard

This is the song I listened to the day I left my country to move to New Zealand, that was the last time I saw my homeland. Every time I hear this song I think back to day. Even the singer is from NZ ironic isn't it?
Luke Van Wyk same here. I always think of my homeland while I listen to this song
Where did you move from?

Cant agree there
2019 and here again. Gosh her music is nostalgic and good
I agree I was on a Spotify and it popped up on a shuffle and I was like; "Oh I remember this song I love it!" and my childhood memories came back and hit me in the face and I started crying from missing the good times. 😂
Fear Me! for real💔

Count me in!
This is the song everyone knows but doesn’t know how or why.
NBA 2k15 it just touched my soul
I always hear this song play in the mall. Those days...
Omg yes. Idek but the chorus where she sings "we live in city" is so familiar but idk where I heard it. I just know of it.
@@error3821 was just abt to say that
my tia played it
I'm my opinion this song is WAY BETTER than royals I know I might a shitload of comments that disagree but I said it's my opinion
I agree. Royals, in my opinion, is a bit mundane. This is more expressive.
don't worry, you got 69 thumbs up, including mine :)
I liked Royals alot but Team is kinda better...
Wait 'til you're announced We've not yet lost all our graces The hounds will stay in chains Look upon Your Greatness and she'll send the call out (Send the call out) Call all the ladies out They're in their finery A hundred jewels on throats A hundred jewels between teeth Now bring my boys in Their skin in craters like the moon The moon we love like a brother, while he glows through the room Dancin' around the lies we tell Dancin' around big eyes as well Even the comatose they don't dance and tell We live in cities you'll never see on screen Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things Living in ruins of a palace within my dreams And you know, we're on each other's team I'm kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the air, so there So all the cups got broke shards beneath our feet but it wasn't my fault And everyone's competing for a love they won't receive 'Cause what this palace wants is release We live in cities you'll never see on screen Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things Living in ruins of a palace within my dreams And you know, we're on each other's team I'm kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the air So there I'm kinda older than I was when I revelled without a care So there We live in cities you'll never see on screen Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things Living in ruins of a palace within my dreams And you know, we're on each other's team We're on each other's team And you know, we're on each other's team We're on each other's team And you know, and you know, and you know
This song really hits the great spot when you travel, or you are depressed. It just brings back 2013-2015 vibes. It's inspiring yet sad.
so being depressed is a "great spot" ...?
1:44 all these years later and this part is still a personal favorite thanks to lorde's vocals alone
Chorus’ are the only good part of songs from 2016 below let’s be real. “Her soul sister” “somebody that I used to know” and this.
This song is much better than 'Royals' ;-)

This song came on when I went with my mom shopping for back to school clothes. I remember watching pokemon jirachi and I didn't have a worry in the world and my mom was happy. I know I'm a guy and an active soldier but this song engraved itself into my brain
Thank you for your service
I remember this song while getting ready for 3rd grade. Also, I'm grateful for your services. Keep up the good work. 💪
Thank you for your service, this song hits all the 2000's kids, nostalgia galore
The Best Song from Lorde ever !!!!
Stan your Dad is Lorde
Conan Edogawa your uncle is detektiv
vFLANDREvSCARLETv I know
Conan Edogawa And your dad writes books whats your point?
Conan Edogawa Yes he is!
This song idk why remembers me of good moments when i was on 7th grade, now i on 9th but man 7th grade was so fucking awesome i fucking loved 2013. I am kinda nostalgic, everytime i hear this song it brings back memories and i feel weird like sad but not at all...
:) same
Exact same feeling man...
I'm in the EXACT position! I was in 7th grade and God it was a great time. All before depression and anxiety kicked in and now I'm a mess in ninth grade...
exactly same feeling wow i m not the only one!
+Agustinøx Jrø Exactly the same, just that I was in 6th grade and now I am in 8th grade =)

Mee
I love that part at 0:55 "dancin around the lies we tell, dancin around big eyes as well" she should have used it more than just once.
Some of her concerts feature a remixed version with that part on repeat for 30+ seconds. I would check out that footage.
Thanks!
The fact that she uses it once makes it more special imo. Same with the "Kinda Older" part at the conclusion of the 2nd hook.
great song!! love the beat!!
ratio
She is amazing, I can't believe she is only 17.
no way, she's only 17 ?!? well - that must be a genius ...
scarlettrosification Yeah.. I would have figured her for 20 or 21.. but she is 17.. I was only graduating highschool at 17 haha
NA Kazhooulte haha me too XD
scarlettrosification :)
I think she's from new zealand
This song makes me think of a sunny day in the summer of 2013. This song makes me so happy because it brings back some many great memories when I was younger.
My childhood. I miss 2013 so much... this song along with many other nostalgic classics, great video games... just a fun time in general.
1:04-1:24 fucking amazing....damn
The best part

She honestly represent all the young adults who never grew up with a silver spoon and found life, love, and laughter in what was available too us all
By far one of the most underated artist she makes deep beautiful music. And pens classics. Still bumpn this in 2021
Its nice to read the commentd from 4-6 years ago just to see how good the world used to be before we started to destroy it.
Well, honestly the gears were already turning way before a few years ago.....I'm no optimist for the future...at all really.
"50 years ago"????
Then it wasn't any better. Heh.
I really admire Lorde's individuality and her songs. They're a refreshing new sound for pop music. With that being said, I did my own little take on "Team", it would mean a lot if you came by my channel and let me know what you think! :)
You know I actually love the intro
Me too! These people are crazy
I agree the intro is great and I like the extend version that she sang at the Australian music awards which made the intro longer.
I can come back to this one after 5 years and it feels just right!
She has incredible talent and she is one of us- Congratulations Lorde from New Zealand 🇳🇿, you are Inspirational.
The only pop artist I actually like, and I like her a lot.
John Doe same
but don’t you remember ariana grande ?
She's an alternative, but yeah, i love her, too
@@champreilly9918 Fuck that
@@dumbretard2296 Lorde fell off tho
this girl is my role model. She is so unique and independent, and talented to boot! She's gotta keep doing what she's going and not take shit from anyone! Go lorde!
Artists like Lorde prove that there is still great modern pop music.
I hope she makes more music just like this.
Unharmed and unchanged are the only way to
Her next big hit is here. I never want to see her go. I see such a new fresh face to music. Unlike any other. keep going Lorde
good sign: the pleasure of listening to this song doesn't change
Brings me back to senior year of high school running around skipping class to go smoke weed and listen to her album Pure Heroine with my friend, god I miss high school! Time really does go by fast when you graduate!
+Alicia Autumn Thank you for taking the time to announce to strangers that you smoke weed. #waytooedgy.
StrokeMeYouInsolentHumanCuzIAmACat Its okay I don't really give fuck haha
+Alicia Autumn That's a nice way to live though
+TheBigBlackGuy1 "never censor yourself for the sake of judgemental assholes" i feel related to that phrase on a way i cant explain
TheBigBlackGuy1 Nah i wasn't being judgemental. I was just highlighting her blatant attempt to look edgy to strangers.
She need to come back soon🔥 this is music😩
what happened to her?
Koline Viatriz Jacinto i don't think anything bad happened to her, i think she just took a break like ed sheeran and adele.
shes back.
I love the sense of longing in the words "we live in cities / you'll never see onscreen". Anyone live in those kinds of cities or towns or hamlets in the countryside?
This is way better than Royals.
you're one of those schmucks
True
Yeah!
Describes me, my town, and my friends so well.We live in city's you'll never see on a screen
It's almost 2020, and it's still my favorite. ♥
Here in 2022
Here in 2023
Here in 2024
listening to her right now,you gotta love Lorde,no matter how different she may seem from every other artist that were used to,you just gotta respect her.
f*ckin dope.
I remember listening to this song on radio in the car everytime my mother sent me to school when I was in kindergarten. :,) I'm back here listening while having those flashbacks of looking out the window while this song was playing in the car.
Wow I had this song stuck in my head the other day, and I haven’t really heard it for so many years, and now this is just throwing me back🤧
she has the voice of an angel , the face of one too
totally true
without a ton of cosmetic work shes actually really ugly. Great voice though
ugly girls dont exist man
Nicholas Genaris Does it matter about how she looks like? Id prefer listening to the ugliest girl on earth that has an amazing voice other than a hot girl with the shittiest voice ever. Plus, beauty is not whats on the outside its on the inside!
Naruto Uzumaki You go Naruto!! Believe it!!
I think Lorde is the only artist whose lyrics compel me to try to understand because I know that it has good message. Our generation has gotten so used to just zoning out to the beats and we never actually try to understand what the lyrics are trying to say. The lyrics become white noise that we tolerate but never really analyse. I like Lorde and what she stands for
In 2019 it makes me really soft because I remember all the good times and childhood
CallMeSarah Same
I enjoy that she wrote her own description for this about her own experience rather than someone else. It makes it feel so much more realistic and you get to know the artist better 🙂
She's Awesome! Sad, the losers who have to put down the successful to trying to make their pathetic lives have meaning. If you don't like Lorde that's fine, just find someone you do like and have fun!
technically their lives are not pathetic
I lost count of how much times ive heard it today, itd just too good
LOl same here.
Hearing this song just makes me bring back memories and flashbacks of me when I was 8 or maybe 9 in elementary school and I would hear this song 🎧. Good times and good memories
Those structures in Paris...your art runs parallel to them in revolutionary spirit and subtle genius.
Love your music Lorde, do your thing...being your self made me listen and pay attention. Hope everyone else feels the same.
Her voice!!! OMG
Ikr, her voice just blew me away
her voice is so amazing
For the longest time I thought that Ellie Goulding sang this song it was called xity and it went, "We love this city" But, then yesterday my sister told me Lorde sang it and it was called team and she sang it to me. So I found the song after years of searching for it. 😢😌🤓😏🙄😀😁😃😄😊🙂☺
ok but your sister has taste...cherish her!
Brings me back to the time where my parents would pick me up from school, where the path seems straight and clear, where I can think of nothing but having fun. Life is really exhausting but with these kinds of music, it makes my heart smile and forget reality for a while.
lorde is a warrior. i haven't seen such a good female singer with good taste in music since Avril lavigne
WHAT.THE.FUCK
lawlz
lolz, but yeah i agree she's amazing
I agree so much. Avril is an amazing singer and my favorite... i didn't think there could be another female artist that i could relate and love the style of and ALL of their songs so much until i came across Lorde! Definitely my favorite new female singer and someone i will always be looking forward too! The style of her music is awesome and can't wait to see what else she's got in the future
I never liked Royals but this is a masterpeice, great lyrics. SLAY.
I’ll always remember playing this song in my sophomore year of high school, I remember being so stressed about some presentation I had to do, walking down the cold streets of my city, drinking coffe from the local Starbucks near my school. Now that I look back to those times I get so sad thinking that my life was so simple back then.
Beautiful song. The entire album is one of my favorites.
My thoughts on the whole Selina Gomez and Taylor Swift crap --> Lorde is better than both of them. :I Her style of song writing, expression, and mood is highly original and deserves to stay in the #1 spot right where she belongs. There honestly isn't anything you can dislike her for unless your pretty heartless like the death threats Lorde was getting on Twitter, poor Lorde. And besides, when you hear her music, you're bound to feel something, it's that kind of music that awakens something inside of, the kind that makes you feel good about yourself and make sure to live your life happy and not let the corruptive minds of others stop you whatever the costs, because if you can't be you, then what are you worth? And my god this song is amazing...
Of course Lorde is better. I hate Taylor's fake, pompous "better than you" attitude. She tries SO hard to be good, but she's so unattainable and so artificial. Selena is nothing special, we've seen people like her many times before. Lorde is smarter and more original than both of them and her music is a light years ahead of them both.
***** When I said this message, I should have pointed out that I am honestly a fan of Taylor Swift, as for Selina Gomez though, not so much. I have a platinum version cd of Taylor Swift and got a Taylor Swift poster as a gift. But telling you this, I'm not being bias, it's just that Taylor was using the same formula for quite some time, but now she slowly changing. And on the other hand Selina Gomez I find..I don't know, I don't have much of an opinion towards her except that her new song "Come and Get it" I find a little repetitive, with an overuse of filler words, and it doesn't have much of a gripping intro either. (Eh-Boo-Eh, Ah-Bella-Ya) (Eh-Bee-Eh-Boo-Eh, Ah-Bella-Ya) (Eh, Eh, Eh, Eh) When you're ready come and get it Na-Na-Na-Na, Na-Na-Na-Na, Na-Na-Na-Na When you're ready come and get it Na-Na-Na-Na, Na-Na-Na-Na, Na-Na-Na-Na When you're ready-Eh-Eh-Eh-Eh-Eh-Eh When you're ready-Eh-Eh-Eh-Eh-Eh-Eh-Eh-Eh When you're ready come and get it Na-Na-Na-Na, Na-Na-Na-Na, Na-Na-Na-Na I did not add anything extra to that, those are indeed the real lyrics to "Come and Get it" from the beginning. I'm not saying she's a bad artist, I'm just saying that "Come and Get it" doesn't show her true capability such as her song "Who Says". I've also watched videos of interviews with Lorde, and also videos about what she said about "TS" and "SG's song", how some of them are saying that since she's new to the industry that she shouldn't be commenting the "queen bees of music". She shouldn't let that stop her, you see people all the time on the internet having there comments without hesitation. Also I should point the fact the I played Mario Party 7 today for four hours while listening to Lorde on loop the whole time, and am still not bored of music. That my fellow humans is the result of the creation of original music that spiritually captures the audience with such a beautiful voice that won't ever get old. Xiexie! -Piece! :)
Yoshiro Tundrayas TS and SG head up the Tween Scene. whoever is referring to swift and gomez as "queen bees of music" have clearly never heard of beyonce knowles, gaga, mariah carey lol these are the current queens, swift & gomez do not, and will never, hold a candle to them ladies. . in terms of artistic vision and creative development, lorde is light years ahead of swift and gomez who spend most of their time admiring their own reflections and whingeing about not finding their prince charming
Much better than "royal" in my opinion!
2014 was an amazing year for music. I loved this song by Lorde. I like to dance and the beat is kicking 🕺🏾
I never been a big fan of most pop songs but I actually always liked this one. But I just realized this came out a decade ago now, and it really made me realize how short life is because it felt like yesterday
I Bump this song everytime i can i love it !
WOW LOVE THIS SONG
We need more songs like this nowadays, It was so good. 💚
My senior year of hs haha. I was crewed up with a few guys selling grass 🤣🤣. Would listen to this and think of my team of weed dealers 🤣🤣 and my bball team of course Now starting my family and steady in my career. Life is so beautiful This song taught me it's not about things getting better, it's about me getting better with the things
A great song to draw or write stories to c:
you have to be kidding me
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) harmonicdoge ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Nope :3
I guess you`re right ^^
Jena Smith point being there is way better songs lol
I was actually drawing while listening to this song.
I love her voice. Great song.
been loving this song for years

I love Lorde because she is one of those few artists who're are into music for the music, not just to show off a pretty face/body/etc. Her music is so unique and if I'm not mistaken she writes most of it. I also love that she is sixteen and writing her own music! She's very inspiring.
first time listening. song has a great story and beat. love to dance to it and sing. thanks LORDE. Be safe, smart, and be you when you can :)
Remember listening to this song on repeat. Still love it so much after all this time.
Team.Nice song.Still Listen to 2023
Lorde, you are a GREAT YOUNG SINGER!!! You have a wonderful present and brilliant future!!!! Just continue on this way!!!! Congratulations girl!
Kinda' sad and soothing to listen to.
this song makes me cry. lorde is genius, she's trying to explain the real world through her experiences in real-world. we're on each other's team and we live in ruins of a palace within our dreams, this means even though our team is different, we still have connections through our dreams and this represent an utopia(a palace), but reality is the experience. so she calls out everyone.
I guess this song is about being imperfect and find a sublime beauty in your imperfections. I listened this song maybe 100 times since yesterday :)
I remember january 2014 when I decided to take a listen to this song and got addicted
Same here
The description box of this video is absolutely beautiful
I love this song. It has a very nice vibe to it.
I love the beat,rhythm,melody, and song
What the heck is it about this song. I heard it on the radio today and now I'm listening to it for the 5th time in a ROW!!!!! And I don't even listen to Lorde on the regular.
agreed
same here damn' :D
same :3
dillianna mullings Yup, here as well. I've probably listened to it 20 times today, and the only reason it wasn't more is because I had to leave the house for a long time, hahah
lol
Omg she is like the most amazing singer ever and she is my inspiration she is a natural raw new zealand talant. GO Lorde
Pretty nostalgic song. This song makes me miss 2013 a lot, even though at the time being 13 years old, I did not at all. It was a tough year, but for the most part things were still great in my life.
🥺 reminds me of when I was little
lorde is such a poet, an artist, a thinker. i really respect her. and her hair. so natural and so gorgeous.
I luv dis song lil more dan royalz
We live in cities you'll never see on screen not very pretty but we sure know how to run things Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams And you know, we're on each other's teams 🇵🇸🇲🇾
This is a song that brings people together
