This song was pure poetry. It makes it even more accessible since she wrote it in this context as well. I love seeing true artists divulge upon their work - the passion she exudes is pretty inspirational.
+Maat Aten this girl got mentioned in the credits, beyonce also signed her to her record label Parkwood and every time someone buys Love drought she gets royalites
It's because people see the meaning of each song differently. Like a painting on the wall, everyone sees different things in it and this is exactly what beyonce did, as Ingrid said at the start "Beyonce doesn't even know this"
I was genuinely impressed with the lyrics when I first heard the track. It's really interesting how the lyrics transcend and work with Lemonade's narrative so well even if it was intended to be about something else. Beyonce sings it wonderfully, but It's nice to put the actual's writers face to the writing.
This makes me happy to be a subscriber. She's a great storyteller (and a great lyricist, from the sound of it), but I'm also super grateful for the "pop-up video" facts that add context throughout. Thanks for uploading this!
Sebastian Young because actors are meant to "act" lol that is the whole reason of an acting job. If I listen to music from a singer I would hope it had some type of personal reason weather or not someone wrote it for them. Beyoncé must of had some type of relation with this song in her life to want to sing it.
Her thought process and how she describes and explains it gave me chills. She has a lot of personality. Wish more people knew she was a the genius behind it. Truely lyrical.
See, you never know what a singer is talking about... everyone interpret lyrics like they want. Mindblowing, who'd interpret this as a label diss...Cool stuff. Beyonce's voice was perfect for the song, and it fits so good in the narative of Lemonade. Hats Off.
This is insane. "Love drought" is one of my favourite songs off of Lemonade. I'd even say it's one of my favourite Beyoncé songs, period. All the times that I've listened to it, I never once thought that the song wasn't about a relationship with a person. I think it's amazing how Ingrid took such a specific personal situation and wrote a song about it with lyrics which are so broad metaphorically. Because it seriously sounds like it was written for Beyoncé from the perspective of her trying to make a relationship work.
“I live my life in the dark for the sake of you and me” that line is sooooo powerful! It makes me think about everything I’m passionate about, I dont need approval from anyone or praise. As long as I’m happy I’m happy!
I'm happy she did write this. It's an amazing song and she did really good with writing the song! She wrote it one way and Bey took it as a song about Jay-Z
Omg - super inspirational. I remember listening to this song on the way home from a really tough day at work and it made me cry because I attributed the lyrics to my career and trying to make it down a path that I felt was consistently trying to tear me down. Crazy that I would find this video some weeks later - I feel you Ingrid!
Love it - this is my favorite song from Lemonade. People think I'm crazy but I FEEL this song so much. I'm glad to hear this story from her! Love hearing from songwriters!
alex acosta no it’s not. Just because you say it, doesn’t mean it’s a fact. Beyoncé has never used ghost writers. Beyoncé credits anybody who contributes to the lyrics.
This makes me think of Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas"❤️ The lady who wrote it said she wrote it, but you couldn't tell by the end he didn't write it👊🏿
shell get paid royalties anyway, she might not have even been paid for writing the song but those coins will be in her bank account every time someone buys the album or buys that ong
Ingrid is also an old Danish/might even be Scandinavian name - which literally doesn't match her whole game and speech LOL like old grannies in their 80s kind of name
Oh well I still like how she put it together. They don’t be so cocky when the bucks roll in and they collect off the name. Don’t know if it’s shady or not either way it was the one Daniel son in my nick voice lol
