We all know that Lana Del Rey cannot put out a bad album. Every album brings a new wave of rhythmic beats and rhymes that keep us wanting more and more.

We replay her music in the car, in our earphones, and use her lyrics as our Instagram captions. She is a captivating celebrity and one who’s genre you just can’t quite place. And so here I provide you with my opinion of the top 5 songs on Lana’s new incredible masterpiece of an album.

5. Summer Bummer (ft. A$AP Rocky and Playboi Carti)

But baby

I got a feeling in my bones

Can’t get you out of my veins

You can’t escape my affection

This song sticks out to me because it is the ultimate summer song. The whole thing is catchy, to say the least. A$AP Rocky and Playboi Carti add to the lighthearted but yet still powerful feeling of this song. I love how Lana is adapting a new sound with this one. Finally, a song where you don't feel like you need a box of tissues after listening.

4. Cherry

My rose garden dreams

Set on fire by fiends

And all my black beaches (are ruined)

My celluloid scenes

Are torn at the seams

And I fall to pieces (Bitch)

This song just sounds like Lana. She describes falling to pieces while with someone (more than likely her lover). She answers the question of why? Which is being in love. This song is typical Lana, being in love but it destroying her. It is the image Lana always portrays and leaves us all wondering if she is truly that tortured artist? Constantly wanting love?

3. Coachella- Woodstock In My Mind

‘Cause what about all these children?

And what about all their parents?

And what about all their crowns they wear?

In hair so long like mine

And what about all their wishes?

Wrapped up like garland roses

Around their little heads

I said a prayer for a third time

This song ties two of the greatest festivals together. Coachella, a modern day music festival and Woodstock, the hippie love fest from the 60’s. The song isn’t talking about the festivals. This song is about all the pain and suffering in the world. How we can’t just love one another and have peace in this crazy world. Lana is wondering what will happen to our children if we cannot all come together. What better song to love than a peace anthem?

2. Heroin

I’m flying to the moon again

Dreaming about Heroin

How I gave you everything

And took your life away

I put you on an aeroplane

Destined for a foreign land

I hoped that you’d come back again

And tell me everything’s okay

This song is beautiful and mesmerizing from the very beginning. I like how raw Lana is in this song. Not shying away from difficult topics. She takes it back to the late 60’s crime and also brings up Motley (referring to Motley Crue). She talks about giving someone her all who clearly only wants one thing that’s stronger than her. Give it a listen, you will want to sway your body back and forth.

1. Tomorrow Never Came (ft. Sean Ono Lennon)

I waited for you in the spot you said to wait

In the city on the park bench

In the middle of the pouring rain

‘Cause I adored you, I just wanted things to be the same

You said to meet me up there tomorrow

But tomorrow never came

Not going to lie, when I first heard this song I burst into tears. It is so beautiful, and Lana and Sean both give off the illusion they are truly in love. Not to mention Sean sounds just like his father (John Lennon from The Beatles).

This one truly paints a picture of two people deeply in love who want to come back to each other but the day never comes for them. Listen to it and take the lyrics to heart and I promise you’ll be begging for tissues after, at least I was.

And so here it is, my opinion on the top 5 songs on Lust For Life. This was hard to write because Lana’s album is truly a masterpiece and picking between all the beautiful melodies was nearly impossible.

To Lana, thank you for providing me with years of beautiful music that helps get me through the hard times and helps make my life a little easier each and every day. I applaud you, Lana Del Rey, you have truly outdone yourself with this one.
