Lana Del Rey

I rarely listen to new pop songs. By accident, I heard "Born To Die" and I was like, "Wow! What a great voice! And it seems rather unusual!". I told my sister for my "discovery" and she told me, "Which world do you live in?! Haven't you heard "Video Games"? Lana Del Rey is really famous." Then I listened to her album and I loved it.
I think she is an amazing artist. She has a great voice and her songs are very different, far from what we are used to. She stands out from the other pop singers at the moment.
I can't really describe the feeling that I get when I listen to her songs. I feel like I'm wearing a vintage dress; very feminine, confident and sophisticated. I'd like to put my red lipstick on and to drink a glass of Martini (with cherry) in the bar. Then a handsome man in "blue jeans", who is "sorta punk rock", will sit next to me. Of course, he'll "fit me better than my favorite sweater".
Oh, I got distracted ... See my favourite songs by Lana Del Rey.

"... And I know that love is mean, and love hurts ..."

I'm not posting "Born To Die", because I have already posted it. So, I'll begin with "Blue Jeans".


I love this song very, very much. It tells a whole love story in kind of melancholic way. And the video is wonderful. I love that it is in black and white, so all the shades and lights are visible; and it gives, of course, a retro feeling. The whole concept of the video is great. The swimming with an alligator is a perfect metaphor for love. When someone is in love, it's easy to drown in his/her own feelings. And love can be dangerous, especially if your lover is a predator. I'm just kidding on the last one, but you get the point. 


"... The prettiest in crowd that you had ever seen
Ribbons in our hair and our eyes gleamed mean ..."


Another wonderful song! "This is what makes us girls" is a very girly song. It reminds me somehow of me and my friends, of my early teenage years. Some of the people who used to be my friend then, now I can't stand. And I parted ways with some of them for different reasons. However, this song brings back some memories.

"... I think I'll miss you forever
Like the stars miss the sun in the morning skies ..."


The lyrics are great! Even the name of the song sounds very poetic ... "Summertime Sadness"

"... It's you, it's you, it's all for you ..."


Although I like the video for "Video Games", I posted this version because Lana Del Rey sounds amazing live.

"...  You're screwed up and brilliant,
Look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?"


Another live performance and this time the song is "Million Dollar Man". I should mention that I really like Lana's style - hair, make up, clothes, everything. And by the way, I'll repeat myself saying that I love this song.

"... Pretty cameras, pretty cameras... Am I glamorous?"


"Without You" is a lovely song!

"... I need you to come here and save me..."


And the last (but not least) song is "Off To The Races".

I know a lot of people like Lana Del Rey, so I hope you'll like my playlist!
