What the hell is going on here Ms. Lana Del Rey?
It took me a while to get onto the Lana Del Rey train. Firstly because usually everything that’s popular, I don’t like. Cynism on the surface, music lover at heart, my friend told me that I needed to watch the music video because she said I would like the cinematograhy. After seven minutes of watching (yes, it’s that long of a song) I was pleasantly surprised and came to the conclusion the Lana Del Rey is amazing.
These were my reactions I wrote as I was watching the video:
She starts off singing Happy Birthday Mr. President on stage with a Marilyn Monroe similar beauty mark on her face.
There is a modern day black rapper in the front row watching her. (?)
Okay, now they are showing the vide of JFK being shot, how can that be legal?
Lana is lying in a rose garden stroking a black rapper, are they trying to turn into the modern day Kennedy’s? Not really sure about that scene.
Oh I get it I think she is trying to be Jacqueline Kennedy.
Now there’s a cake.
He’s grabbing her ass.
They’re dirty dancing at their children’s birthday party?
Love story for the new age?
Final Consensus: Not really sure what I just saw but I kind of liked it.
What do you think about Lana’s new video? Oh also, if you have better insight into the theme of the video, please let me know.
Watch it here.
