young and beautiful lana del rey lyrics meaning
Young and Beautiful (Lana Del Rey song) With the lyrics "Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?", Del Rey adds a hint of desperation which parallels the idiosyncrasies faced by the characters in F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel The Great Gatsby.[9] Del Rey's dreamy vocals are draped over sedated strings and canned percussion.[9] The soft and dreary vocals, falling in line with Del Rey's retro affectation, fits the atmosphere of the 1920s when the novel is set.[10] The lyrics rotate around the themes of pleasing a lover, nostalgia, and the gloom of aging.[11] The Cedric Gervais remix of the song was released on October 11, 2013.
