It’s a fun little song, but admittedly, it probably wouldn’t be favourable to the masses. Hardcore LDR fans may say this song is released, appearing on the album Lana Del Ray, but the alternative version is still unreleased, so basically, don’t come at me!!!! Lana described this song as ‘smashing’, and I think that’s because it’s so on brand with her image It’s very sexy, references Coney Island, and is super playful! Lana also said she wrote this song at a time when she was ‘happy’, and you can very much tell. ‘Mermaid Motel’ is the first unreleased song I found and loved. She was just complete Hollywood horror, and I loved it! A desire to learn everything about her led me to Lizzy Grant’s discography and demos, and although the songs weren’t as grand as her studio releases, they were still great! Her early unreleased songs carry a messiness and home made quality which reminds us of the humanity of Lana’s music, something I must say was lost during the manufacturing of a star in the Born To Die era. I was also going through my America phase, as lots of 10 year olds do, so I supposed that helped. Her aesthetic was just so enchanting and magical. That is where the love affair with her began. I watched her transfixed as she sat on her rightful throne amongst two tigers in a church and I replied “yes, that’s why I love her.”
I was watching the top 40 round my grandparents house, and I distinctly remember my grandad seeing Queen Lana and saying “She’s a bit mournful isn’t she?”. The first time Lana Del Rey entered my consciousness was in 2011 when I saw the music video for her second breakthrough hit, Born To Die. I think we can all agree that none of those monikers hold the gravitas that LDR does, but her numerous re-inventions means we have bucket loads of unreleased material that can be found online, and they tend to be the ones fan say they would sell their souls to hear for the first time again.
Lana has 9 studio albums under her belt, including numerous singles under her previous artist names May Jailor, Lizzy Grant, and Sparkle Jump Rope Queen.
All-american singer, Lana Del Rey, is famous for her melancholy sound and poetic lyrics, and unsurprisingly, she has always been like this.
