Also, my current music obsession.
Lana Del Rey:Video Games
"Heaven is a place on earth where you tell me all the things you want to do."
Her song "Video Games" has been playing on my mac/cell phone nonstop since I first heard it yesterday morning. I cannotttttttt get enough of it. Her smooth voice mixed with sarcastic lyrics won me over. I mean, she really could quite possibly be a guy's dream girlfriend, but I'm pretty sure these lyrics are sarcastic, and aimed at a video game addict ex boyfriend. Maybe I'm wrong, but she does mention something along the lines of "Go play a video game" abouttttt 4 times in the song. Love it.
Open up a beer
And you take it over here
And play a video game
I'm in his favorite sun dress
Watching me get undressed
Take that body downtown
I say you the bestest
Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favorite perfume on
Go play a video game
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth where you
Tell me all the things you want to do
The video itself got me hooked to her. She could not be cuter! And the clash between cartoon fairytales of love, and the reality of this world, definitely make for an interesting video. After watching it, I've decided I want to buy her lips, hair, and clothes. But seriously, her "I don't give a shit" look that constantly stays plastered on her face throughout the entire video, is simply amazing combined with those lyrics.
I've spent the last day looking up almost every single one of her songs, and I'm only disappointed by a couple of them. Diet Mtn Dew, Kinda Outta Luck, Jump, Oh Say Can You See, Kill Kill <<<<ALL good songs in my opinion.
Diet Mtn Dew
"Diet Mountain Dew baby, New York City. Never was there ever a girl so pretty."
In Kinda Outta Luck, she goes for the glamour gangster look with the video and the lyrics.
"Diamonds on my wrist, whiskey on my tongue."
Her lyrics are light and fun, and her videos are simple, cute, and interesting. Definitely a breath of fresh air. Hope you guys enjoy her as much as I have!
So excited for fall to be right around the corner! I'm usually dreading summer ending, but this is the first fall that I won't be going to school since Kindergarten, considering I graduated from EMU last December. I want warm jackets, warmer boyfriends, red noses and hot apple cider STAT. First, my boyfriend and I have to travel to New York for my brother's wedding. Enjoy these last weeks of summer, fill it up with as many warm memories as you can to hold you over when Michigan dies a little inside and experiences winter.
Until next time.
Peace love and flip flops.
