Her sitting room is certainly full of the latter.

The lyrics deal with death, ageing and when she might become a mother. (The singerβs relationship status remains something of a rumour.) Throughout you can hear her early detractors, who wondered how βrealβ she was, being forced to scoff humble pie. It plays like autobiography. The singer is remembering people, while wondering if she will be remembered. Del Rey was born in Manhattan and raised in Lake Placid in upstate New York. Her father, Rob, worked in various businesses before finding his success with domain names. Her mother, Patricia, was a teacher. It was a Roman Catholic family and Del Rey, one of three siblings, was a worried child. Indeed she was so concerned about the meaning of life and death that she studied philosophy at university. βI was trying to help myself,β she says of her degree. βI was constantly reading and applying what I learnt to figure out how we got here. That has been in me since I was three!β βThere were things that bothered me at a young age,β she continues. βLike what does it mean if people come into the world as quadriplegics while people say that everything plays out the way it should? Or when you meet people who are severely sociopathic and think, βHowβs God fitting into all this?β Iβm still trying to figure out the bigger questions.β It is fast approaching midnight. βIβm not saying Iβm going to answer,β she begins, mischievously, as we start wrapping up, βbut did you have a horrible question you were going to ask me?β Not really, I say; weβve covered enough. βYou couldβve said, βAre you married?β Why didnβt you?!β Do you want me to ask? βNo!β She takes a beat. βBut no, Iβm not!β She bursts out laughing. Del Rey was 26 when her game-changing singleVideo Games was released I ask about Glastonbury. Booked to headline the Other Stage this year, Del Rey turned up late and was cut off before she could even playΒ Video Games. On stage the singer said her hair took a while to perfect, while the crowd were left stunned and disappointed. βIβve heard of curfews before,β she explains. βBut I didnβt know they actually turned the lights off! I didnβt feel great about it, but I was a little confused because I donβt think I was ever in a position where somebody said, βIf you do not finish by this time, everything will go out.β I was only 15 minutes late.β She will simply have to come back another year to headline the Pyramid Stage, because, for someone obsessed with her own legacy, it feels as if she is edging closer to her idols, who now talk of her as a peer. Stevie Nicks adores her. Joan Baez invites her to dance parties on Zoom. βShe just creates a world of her own and invites you in,β Bruce Springsteen gushes. Did You Know β¦Β is a beautiful but intense album β like having a therapy session on a Californian beach. But what comes next for her? βIβm tired now,β Del Rey admits. βSo keeping it simple is probably the way that itβs going to go. I dug around a lot writing this [album] and donβt think I have to go there again.β As such, she has plans to write an album of standards β classic, simple songs that could reach even more people than she does now. A bit like the gorgeous, piano-led cover ofΒ Take Me Home, Country RoadsΒ by John Denver that she released on Friday, or the Elvis Presley version ofΒ Unchained MelodyΒ that she recorded at Graceland for a Christmas TV show. She is a star who not only finally feels understood, but also finally understands. βThatβs why God didnβt give me children yet,β she says tenderly about what may or may not come next. βBecause there is more to explore. I know people whoβve tested every water. Itβs burnt them, like Icarus. But Iβm willing to go there. I see it coming for me. Weβll see.β She is speaking quickly now, excitedly. βWeβll see what melts the wings.β Whatβs your favourite Lana Del Rey track?

It was a Roman Catholic family and Del Rey, one of three siblings, was a worried child. Indeed she was so concerned about the meaning of life and death that she studied philosophy at university. βI was trying to help myself,β she says of her degree. βI was constantly reading and applying what I learnt to figure out how we got here. That has been in me since I was three!β βThere were things that bothered me at a young age,β she continues. βLike what does it mean if people come into the world as quadriplegics while people say that everything plays out the way it should? Or when you meet people who are severely sociopathic and think, βHowβs God fitting into all this?β Iβm still trying to figure out the bigger questions.β It is fast approaching midnight. βIβm not saying Iβm going to answer,β she begins, mischievously, as we start wrapping up, βbut did you have a horrible question you were going to ask me?β Not really, I say; weβve covered enough. βYou couldβve said, βAre you married?β Why didnβt you?!β Do you want me to ask? βNo!β She takes a beat. βBut no, Iβm not!β She bursts out laughing. Del Rey was 26 when her game-changing singleVideo Games was released I ask about Glastonbury. Booked to headline the Other Stage this year, Del Rey turned up late and was cut off before she could even playΒ Video Games. On stage the singer said her hair took a while to perfect, while the crowd were left stunned and disappointed. βIβve heard of curfews before,β she explains. βBut I didnβt know they actually turned the lights off! I didnβt feel great about it, but I was a little confused because I donβt think I was ever in a position where somebody said, βIf you do not finish by this time, everything will go out.β I was only 15 minutes late.β She will simply have to come back another year to headline the Pyramid Stage, because, for someone obsessed with her own legacy, it feels as if she is edging closer to her idols, who now talk of her as a peer. Stevie Nicks adores her. Joan Baez invites her to dance parties on Zoom. βShe just creates a world of her own and invites you in,β Bruce Springsteen gushes. Did You Know β¦Β is a beautiful but intense album β like having a therapy session on a Californian beach. But what comes next for her? βIβm tired now,β Del Rey admits. βSo keeping it simple is probably the way that itβs going to go. I dug around a lot writing this [album] and donβt think I have to go there again.β As such, she has plans to write an album of standards β classic, simple songs that could reach even more people than she does now. A bit like the gorgeous, piano-led cover ofΒ Take Me Home, Country RoadsΒ by John Denver that she released on Friday, or the Elvis Presley version ofΒ Unchained MelodyΒ that she recorded at Graceland for a Christmas TV show. She is a star who not only finally feels understood, but also finally understands. βThatβs why God didnβt give me children yet,β she says tenderly about what may or may not come next. βBecause there is more to explore. I know people whoβve tested every water. Itβs burnt them, like Icarus. But Iβm willing to go there. I see it coming for me. Weβll see.β She is speaking quickly now, excitedly. βWeβll see what melts the wings.β Whatβs your favourite Lana Del Rey track? Let us know in the comments below Β THANKK YOUUU!!! glad they asked about her family cause that interests me. also standarda and classics mention!!!Β 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
