Del Rey also said he was working on “angry” music for a new, untitled album.
Lana Del Rey is known for her emotional also vulnerable lyrics. In a new chat with Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele for W Magazine, she shared which uplifting songs brought her tears.
Please put on your white sneakers also follow me. Why work so hard when you can be free?” / You have your moment now, you have your legacy / Let’s leave the world to those who changed it all,” she sings in the song’s 2015 opening verse.
“It’s the opposite of expectations,” Del Rey told Michelle.
“It’s about finding the beauty in giving up. If I had my way, I would continue to persevere in all areas of my life, but it can be quite a challenge because I trust myself too quickly. Can burn your entire inner life and everyday processes to ashes. At the end of apiece album, I say goodbye and thank you – old Hollywood style – but I can’t help but keep writing.”
Speaking of Old Hollywood, he said his grandparents were the reason for his love of the classical era. “When I was younger, my grandparents let me watch their old movies. And I connected with the subtle nuances of female characters,” Del Rey explains. “You don’t have to say much; Many are locked between the lines. When things got more prominent for me and my career. I always assumed that people would understand who I was if I just spoke up and were myself. I have learned that is not true. You have to line up, and that’s hard for me.
