Riff: Lana Del Rey – “God Bless America – And All The Beautiful Women In It”

Jul 24, 2017

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

Anthemic rock that pays tribute to the land of liberty and all the beautiful women in it. She’s saluting a nation, hoping that it’ll serve as a soundtrack to a revolution. Despite the title it’s not overly political, instead it embraces a larger notion of inclusion and love. The beat lifts her voice to new vistas, seeking empowerment while still maintaining her silky touch.
