‘Get a Little Bit of Bourbon in Ya’
Author: Soren Dreier
I try to find good articles for my readers so I spend some time every day looking for them.
Several times this week I ran into Lana Del Ray, so I took that as a hint to find out who she was and what her music was about.
It can be very hard to find creative and deep music these days, since it all sounds more or less the same to me.
Del Ray has a very distinct ‘wall of sound’ signature and some surprising – disturbing lyrics.
She twists her ‘retro-woman’ that resembles pin-up photos from the 50ties and 60ties, with urban slang 2014. Its not: ‘Good girl gone bad’. It’s more: ‘There’s more to me than catches the eyes or ears.’
The deep melancholic toning of her voice is very special.
The video Cruel World should state both the subtleness and the fierce feminine side.
The lyrics are very interesting, since she obviously is very hurt over her boyfriends leaving her, but she doesn’t fall into the victim trap.
She says: ‘I’m the best’ and also states between the lines: ‘You might have left me, but you’re the one hurting here, since I know how good I am.’
Very self-empowered. It’s his loss, not hers. Even though she expresses hurt and punishes him with her words.
