“I was always an unusual girl.My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean.” ― Lana Del Rey
Lana Del Rey just released her new album, "Lust For Life," and it is truly an album for the generation. We are a bunch of misfits who don't deserve what is coming for them and a respect for the traditions of daydreaming and lost loves. I love this album, even before I heard it. But what got me was the sense of a powerful voice that spoke to me on many levels. Here are my favorites so far, there are much more but not enough time.

4. But I still get lonely
And, baby, only then do I let myself recline
Can I let go, and let your memory dance
In the ballroom of my mind (13 Beaches)
5. In the next morning
They put out the warning
Tensions were rising over country lines
(Coachella - Woodstock In My Mind)

6. Time after time
Writing my lines
Having my baby there next to me
It’s so sweet
Pouring you a drink
And pretending that nothing
Means anything. (Groupie Love)

7. Finally, I'm crossing the threshold
From the ordinary world
To the reveal of my heart
Undoubtedly, that will for certain
Take the dead out of the sea
And the darkness from the arts ( Get Free)

8. God bless America, and all the beautiful
women in it
May you stand proud and strong
Like Lady Liberty shining all night long

9. I just wanted things to be the same
You said you'd meet me out there tomorrow
But tomorrow never came Tomorrow never came ( Tomorrow Never Came)

10. I'm flying to the moon again
Dreaming about marzipan
Taking all my medicine
To take my thoughts away
I'm getting on that aeroplane
Leaving my old man again
I hope that I'd come back again one day
To tell you that I
Really changed (Heroin)
