10 Best Lana Del Rey Songs

Brooklyn Baby is an excellent example of Lana's love for art, music and love. It's a song that isn't only self-criticism to some extent but also shows incredible love and affection for what she does. Of course, this isn't the first song dedicated to her life and her love for her art. Still, it indeed manages to stand out from Ultraviolence, with this being such a dark album and a captivating song.

The story that Del Rey tells us in the lyrics of this song demonstrates two things quite clearly. First, her boyfriend is very cool, and second, she's cooler than him. Further, we can explore the dynamic between them, as the relationship turns to a life in the world of music, art and poetry. In the end, she makes an unapologetic statement about how she won't try to explain the way she expresses herself if they don't understand her.

Her string-heavy production also shines a lot in the moments where she's allowed to be free. This track has one of Lana's strongest vocal performances. At the beginning of her verses, with a naturally soft and slow tone. On the other hand, the bridge comes with higher and piercing notes that help convey what she's trying to say.
