Riff: Lana Del Rey – “Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems”

Jul 24, 2017

Blue is the color of the planet from the view above/Long live our reign, long live our love/Green is the planet from the eyes of a turtle dove/’Til it runs red, runs red with blood

from Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems lyrics by Lana Del Rey

A cosmic outlook on the world, one that indulges in the divine. She’s admiring the polarizing land she lives in, the many ups and downs and everything in between. All is in balance and it is beautiful, even the problems that plague humanity. Stevie Nicks joins her, and together they create a powerful synergy that can be felt from the very first note to the last.
