Song of the Day - Summertime Sadness - Lana Del Ray

Kiss me hard before you go

Summertime sadness

I just wanted you to know

That baby, you're the best

Summer vacation is all but over!  Today I return to work for a conference day to begin the new school year, which begins next Wednesday.  It's not terrible because I've got the next four days in between off, but still, I've now got that end of summertime sadness!  It was way too short!

Song of the Day - Shades of Cool - Lana Del Rey

This sultry cut from Lana Del Rey's smash album Ultraviolence I could easily see as background music to a love scene in a movie.  I'mm not the biggest Lana fan, but she is beginning to draw me in to her unique style. Check out Shades of Cool...

 

Shades of Cool

My baby lives in shades of blue
Blue eyes and jazz and attitude
He lives in California too
He drives a Chevy Malibu

And when he calls
He calls for me and not for you
He lives for love, he loves his drugs
He loves his baby too

But I can't fix him, can't make him better
And I can't do nothing about this strange weather

But you are invincible
I can't break through your world
'Cause you live in shades of cool
Your heart is unbreakable

My baby lives in shades of cool
Blue heart and hands and aptitude
He lives for love, for women, too
I'm one of many, one is blue

And when he calls
He calls for me and not for you
He prays for love, he prays for peace
And maybe someone new

But I can't help him, can't make him better
And I can't do nothing about his strange weather

'Cause you are invincible
I can't break through your world
'Cause you live in shades of cool
Your heart is unbreakable

You are invincible
I can't break through your world
'Cause you live in shades of cool
Your heart is unbreakable

Song of the Day - Off to the Races - Lana del Ray

Did you ever like a song based on another person's reaction to it?  Well I have, lots of times.  There's something about seeing another person being moved by a tune in some way, shape or form that somehow tells me inside that maybe this song is worth pursuing.  This is the case with today's song.

Once again, it was my friend Sonny who inspired me to post Lana del Ray's Off to the Races.  He played it in the car and I watched and listened to how he knew not only every word, but every beat to the tune. Though I've never really loved Lana del Ray, I do have her album and I already had this song, but never listened to it.  Now, the sexy romp to the races sits in my main music folder.  Check it out...

 

Song of the Day - Summertime Sadness - Lana Del Ray

Kiss me hard before you go 
Summertime sadness 
I just wanted you to know 
That, baby, you're the best



It's taken me a long time to grasp anything by Lana Del Ray, but I've finally found something of hers that I love. Great song!
