Lana del Rey is my ideal summertime muse, if not all-around, every-day muse. Her new single, “Summertime Sadness” was released July 24, and it’s full of perfect summer vibes. In addition to the hauntingly beautiful music, the visuals were also striking. I loved the grainy footage, as well as the golden light throughout, very particular to slow summer sunsets. Also, her two-piece white linen dress with visible bra underneath was kind of completely perfect.
Summertime Sadness encompasses everything that I think of as ‘typically Lana”- a beautifully fragile, haunting voice, featuring themes of regret, young love, and nostalgia, with elements of natural beauty and characters that break easily and are lost in the past.
