Today was my first day of classes and it was also the first day since I've moved here that it has rained. It rained non-stop, whereas a few days ago, I got sunburnt on my nose because it was so sunny (who would have thought it). But this morning while preparing my breakfast and making my lunch, I was listening to Lana Del Rey's relatively new song "High by the beach" on repeat. It's such a good early morning song when no one else is around and you can sway dance around the kitchen without anyone judging you. I also think that with the falling rain outside, I feel like it suits my mood whenever it's this kind of weather, that lethargic and out-of-it state.
I absolutely love Lana Del Rey's 'Born to die' and 'Paradise' albums so much and can listen to it over and over and still have the need to dance and sing along to, but her 'Ultraviolence' album, I feel like it was more of a background music sort of album. I still really liked it, but I think that not all the songs stood out that much for me. At the beginning of 'High by the beach', when I first heard it, I thought that this song too would be background music, with the sighing in the introduction and the soft singing at the beginning... but then the beat drops and OHMYGOD! it's incredible and you can't help but move your body along with it and that's when you get really into the song and you are spellbound. The lyrics in the chorus is repetitive, but the rhythm just flows through the body and it's like you are in a trance state (hence, why it's great for when you are getting ready in the morning and are still half asleep). It really encapsulates that mindset of drifting through different states of consciousness. And that is the genius of Lana Del Rey.
