Ladyhawke, the performing name of New Zealander/Australian Pip Brown, is about to release her first solo album. Her new single, “Paris is Burning” is featured in this music video directed by Casper Balslev.
The music evokes the big production, big guitar and big synth sound of the 1980s. The video basically tracks Ladyhawke walking through the night, towards the camera, through the falling feathers and sparking electricity.

Lyrics
All of the boys and the girls here, in Paris.
Sing to the night without sight, but with madness.
I can’t keep up, I’m a wreck, but want it.
Tell me the truth, is it love or just Paris?
[Chorus]
My heart is yearning, but Paris is burning.
Paris is burning all night long.
My heart is dreaming, but Paris is screaming.
Paris is screaming all night long.
Kids in the street drinking wine, on the sidewalk.
Saving the plans that we made, till its night time.
Give me your glass, its your last, you’re too wasted.
Or get me one too, cos i’m new any ???.
[Chorus]
I’ve lost my way, its hard to find it through.
I see the night, but i’m lost outside of you.
I’ve lost my way, its hard to find it through.
I see the night, but i’m lost outside of you.
[Chorus]
I’ve lost my way, its hard to find it through.
I see the night, but i’m lost outside of you.
I’ve lost my way, its hard to find it through.
I see the night, but i’m lost outside of you.
