In a note accompanying the song, Lorde recalled hearing “Take Me to the River” for the first time as a 12-year-old in New Zealand when her mom played her a poor-quality YouTube clip. “I felt a portal open between me and the screen,” she said. “Humor, lust, rhythm and ritual course through me. I don’t understand what I’m feeling, but I do understand that the band in the grainy video live with the same strangeness that I do. My pains tingle. My insides are replaced.
The artist said she recorded “River” in Los Angeles as an “interpretation of that pixellated spiritual experience. We did it fast. I didn’t let myself tidy it up too much. It had to feel young and imperfect, the peeling posters, the jaw of acne. It’s beyond a great honor to be a part of this compilation. In doing so, I am reaching back through time and pinning something to that kid’s wall.
