Lorde reimagined her angst-ridden party anthem “Perfect Places” as an ambivalent ballad during her performance on Late Night With Seth Meyers on Monday.
On her recently released album, Melodrama,“Places” is the final song. It revolves around a thick drum, purposely driving the production forward. But on Late Night, Lorde’s set was nearly beat-less. It added a forlorn sensibility to the song, complimenting the lyrics in a literal way as she sings about rituals of youth – the cycle of “graceless night[s].”
