13 Beaches

[Creyk 11,839]

Lana talked about the meaning of the song in her recent Sun interview:

 

A standout track on Lust For Life is the anthemic 13 Beaches, a song about Lana escaping the limelight on an empty beach.

“I love that you notice that track,” she says, smiling.

“It seems like a luxury problem but it’s this abstract concept of needing to go to so many beaches just to find one where no one is there.

“For me, so I can use that space — that actual, physical space and time — alone to think and to write and meditate.

“That was definitely one of the earliest songs, where I was still feeling a little bit impeded by being more noticeable in public.”

Beautiful song. I still twitch at the whistling, it's a bit pitchy in my opinion ! 

[James Dean 950]

To me those lyrics speaks about some unreal love (platonic), and maybe why they cant get along

Such a strange song. Doesn't have much context which makes it weak

Oops. My bad.

This song really makes so much more sense when you listen to it on the beach.. Went to AC today & had my mind blown. Wow

Just found out through filtering that they use a sample from High By The Beach in 13 Beaches. They slowed it down and changed pitch a bit - Probably some moderate effects but it's nice to hear considering this is HBTB's less enthusiastic twin sister.

In 13 Beaches its at the 2nd pre-chorus

In High By The Beach it's in the chorus

 

Also I probably shouldn't sample - Just the same instrument used in a super similar way! Still pretty cool

^XIII beaches, 13 is the Death card in Tarot.

^The connection is the lyrics in both songs:....honey I'm dying....I'm Dying....
