10 Best Lana Del Rey Songs
9. Born To Die
After
the success of Video Games, the world knew the name of 'Lana Del Rey', and
after listening to Born to Die, we knew who this woman was. This one is the
first song of her album with the same name, one of the songs that started it,
one of her most iconic songs.
In the lyrics, Del Rey teaches us that we were born to die, so we better enjoy while we can. She invites us to enter her world with her and leaves everything we know behind her. It's a total welcome to her new realm of glamour and decadence. This song is also characterized by its rhythms and beat changes. However, it maintains a slow tempo that hides a great production and instrumentation.
And what to say about her voice? It's one of her best vocal performances, introducing her dark, melancholy tone and that vintage touch that her fans love so much. Another of the most remarkable things in her voice is the intimacy. It's almost palpable, as if she were singing this song only to us.
