There’s a lot of pro<\/strong> and con<\/strong> to be found in the Twitterlitter<\/strong> regarding new-ish artist, Lana Del Rey<\/strong><\/a>, who hails originally from Lake Placid, NY (now Brooklyn, natch).\u00a0 Given the songs (Video Games <\/strong><\/em>and Blue Jeans<\/strong><\/em>, both to be released on Stranger Records<\/strong><\/a> in October) and videos below, we can’t connect to the con<\/strong>.\u00a0 The songs impart an elegiac and moving melancholia, all immersed in a nostalgic haze.\u00a0 And the videos cinematically convey a vivid adolescence (Lefort, circa 3.0), via a Belmondo, Dogtown, Sunset Strip pastiche (despite her Lake Placid upbringing).\u00a0 We could do with less film spent on a vamping Del Rey, but for now we’re pronouncing an overall pro<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Lana Del Rey plays the Hotel Cafe<\/strong> on 9\/27, but the show sold out quickly.\u00a0 If you can get us in, we’ll be your best friends.\u00a0 No other shows west of NYC are currently scheduled.<\/p>\n First up is Video Games.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HO1OV5B_JDw&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL<\/p>\n Also to be released soon is the song Blue Jeans,<\/strong><\/em> after the lyrics.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n “BLUE JEANS
\nWHITE SHIRT
\nWALKED INTO THE ROOM U KNOW U MADE MY EYES BURN
\nIT WAS LIKE, JAMES DEAN- FOR SURE
\nU SO FRESH TO DEATH & SICK AS CA-CANCER
\nYOU WERE SORTA PUNK ROCK, I GREW UP ON HIP HOP
\nBUT U FIT ME BETER THAN MY FAVOURITE SWEATER- AND I KNOW
\nTHAT LUV IS MEAN, AND LUV HURTS
\nBUT I STILL REMEMBER THAT DAY WE MET IN DECEMBER- OH BABY!
\n*
\nI WILL LUV U TILL THE END OF TIME
\nI WOULD WAIT 1,000,000 YEARS
\nPROMISE U’LL REMEMBER THAT UR MINE
\nBABY CAN U SEE THROUGH THE TEARS
\nLUV U MORE
\nTHAN THOSE BITCHES BEFORE
\nSAY U’LL REMEMBER -OH BABY- SAY U’LL REMEMBER
\nI WILL LUV U TILL THE END OF TIME
\n*
\nBIG DREAMS
\nGANGSTER
\nSAID U HAD TO LEAVE TO START UR LIFE OVER
\nI WAS LIKE- “NO PLEASE” STAY HERE
\nWE DON’T NEED NO MONEY WE CAN MAKE IT ALL WORK
\nBUT HE HEADED OUT ON MONDAY, SAID HE’D COME HOME SUNDAY
\nI STAYED UP WAITIN’, ANTICIPATIN’ AND PACIN’ BUT HE WAS
\nCHASING PAPER
\nCAUGHT UP IN THE GAME-THAT WAS THE LAST I HEARD
\n*
\nCHORUS
\n*
\nHE WENT OUT EVERY NIGHT
\nAND BABY THAT’S ALRIGHT
\nI TOLD U THAT NO MATTER WHAT U DID I’D BE BY YOUR SIDE
\nCAUSE IM A RIDE OR DIE
\nWHETHER U FAIL OR FLY
\nWELL SHIT @ LEAST U TRIED.
\nBUT WHEN U WALKED OUT THAT DOOR- A PIECE OF ME DIED
\nI TOLD U I WANTED MORE-BUT THAT NOT WHAT I HAD IN MIND
\nI JUST WANT IT LIKE BEFORE
\nWE WERE DANCIN ALL NIGHT
\nTHEN THEY TOOK U AWAY-STOLE U OUT OF MY LIFE
\nU JUST NEED TO REMEMBER….
\nTHAT I WILL LUV U TILL THE END OF TIME
\ni promise”<\/p>\n
