Unfamiliar with this week's song. Hear it here.

1) Lorde has said this song is about a time when she fell into "a bad crowd." Her high-maintenance new friends were all about their romantic dramas and it overwhelmed her. Have you ever had a friend who was just too much work?

~ Nope

2) She sings that she longs to be alone. Where do you go when you want peace and quiet?

~ I live alone! I just wish I could find a place to vey away from myself!

3) Lorde credits her mother for encouraging her verbal skills. "Mum" let her join a theater class when she was just 5 and was always giving her books. Tell us about an encouraging, understanding adult who assisted you when you were growing up.

~ When I was in grade school, I remember sitting in my dad's bedroom with him, reading to him from his books about carburators and car things. Often I didn't know what I was saying, but he was encouraging and happy I was working out the "tough words"!

4) Lorde is not the only celebrity from her class at Belmont School in Auckland, New Zealand. Olympian Eliza McCartney was a classmate who went on to win a bronze medal in Rio for the pole vault. Did you participate in any sports in high school?

~ Nope, nada, zilch!

***** Number 5 was sent off to see The Olympics!*****

6) Lorde wrote music for one of the Hunger Gamessoundtracks. Have you seen any of the Hunger Games movies, or read any of the books?

~ My niece lent me the book to read a couple years ago, I still haven't. I've seen bits and pieces of the first movie but definitely not the whole thing, and definitely none of the follow-ups, though the movies seem like they could be good and I''d would like them.

7) Her favorite candy is Peanut M&Ms. Do you prefer Milk Chocolate, Peanut, Almond, Mint or Cripsy M&Ms?

~  All Of Them!!!
...But, yes, I'd have to say that peanut M&Ms are my Very Favorite too!

8) When Lorde was on stage at Lollapalooza, a sudden storm interrupted her set. The music festival was evacuated and her performance was cancelled. Can you think of a time when the weather had a major impact on your plans?

~ When I was a child, I LOVED going to an amusement park island between Michigan and Canada called Bob-Lo Island. We always went once a year, every summer. Time went on, the kids in my family (5 of us) became teens, and we started to grow individually. We were planning on going together as a family one last time, it rained that day and my mom said we wouldn't be going. That upset me to no end. It really only rained earlier that day, the rest of the day was fine. That was years ago, almost 40, but I'll always wish we could have went one more time!

9) Random question: Please complete this sentence -- Before I leave the house, I always

~ Make sure I have my keys to come back in!
