We really do treat them that way, don't we?
Anyone who knows me knows that I have this problem with current media and celebrities. I can get scary callous and bitter while expressing these sentiments, so I'm going to stick to the positive. This song "Royals", and most of you may have heard it, was written by Lorde from New Zealand, age 17 (Age 17!!), and was released earlier this year.
I have such refreshing respect and gratefulness for this girl for understanding and dismissing the gilded lifestyle rampant among young celebrities (and not-so-young). The song shines a glimmer of hope upon the future of popular music and the health and well-being of the younger generations... hopefully, as Lorde has said, they can see through the "b*******" strung about in popular music these days, and decide to chase a "different kind of buzz".
For me, the "high on life" phrase strikes a chord. Good music, the beauty of nature, true love, art... I've always craved a different kind of buzz, and have always been so mind-numbingly confused as to why others refuse to see it.
Besides, it's catchy. :) Enjoy!
