10 Lana Del Rey Songs That Will Take You To Another World

I love that music can be so powerful. I love how it has a way of transporting you into another world, or making you feel as if you are a completely different person. Lana Del Rey's music has this effect on me. Her music puts me in a dream state where I disappear into a swanky jazz club, and I'm there listening to her croon into a vintage microphone. Here are 10 songs from the dream pop artist that will completely transport you into another world. If you haven't heard these, I highly suggest you look them up.

1. "Summertime Sadness"

This is one of her most popular songs. This song depicts the ending of a relationship. Its melancholy demeanor really makes the listener feel her heartbreak.

2. "Young and Beautiful"

This song was written for the 2013 adaptation of the Great Gatsby. This song is just gorgeous and Lana's vintage voice was a perfect choice for the theme song of Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan's love story.

3. "Brooklyn Baby"

I'm definitely not from Brooklyn, but this song makes me feel like I very well could be! Warning: This has one bad word in it, but you can find the clean version online.

4. "Pretty When You Cry"

I will unashamedly admit that this is my go-to song to listen to when I have had a bad day...and need a good cry.

5. "This Is What Makes Us Girls"

This song is all about growing up, making mistakes and knowing that some of the very best parts about being a girl are some of the worst parts too. "Don't cry about him, don't cry about him, it's all gonna happen."

6. "National Anthem"

While not the literal National Anthem, this song is about the "American Dream" as measured by money.

7. "Once Upon A Dream"

Angelina Jolie, the star of the film Maleficent, requested for Lana to be the one to cover the theme song. Del Rey performs the song in a more somber manner that really depicts the darkness of the main character while capturing the hearts of all lovers of classic Disney films.

8. "Without You"

I love this song because it shows that you can have money, fame and power, but you will still have nothing without the love of your life by your side.

9. "Video Games"

Although an odd title, the song has significant meaning in Del Rey's life. In an interview, she stated that she wrote this song during a simpler time in her life and that she was really surprised that fans really flocked to this song over many of her others.

10. "Blue Velvet"

Lana Del Rey's adaptation of the Bobby Vinton song is just gorgeous. Her perfectly vintage voice did the song great justice.

Lana Del Rey is an artist that has the ability to take you to another world with her songs. She said once in an interview that she is a writer first and a singer second. This really shows in her music by allowing the audience to hear the raw emotion that she is trying to depict. If you haven't heard any or all of these songs, I suggest you look them up and prepare yourself to be amazed.

"It takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it to know what true freedom is." -Lana Del Rey

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
