Riff: Lana Del Rey – “Old Money”

Jun 17, 2014

The power of youth is on my mind/Sunsets, small town, I’m out of time/Will you still love me when I shine?

from Old Money lyrics by Lana Del Ray

Through hushed tones and melancholy melodies she tells us something that we already know: that she’s incredibly talented but as shallow as all hell. Her death grip on youth and beauty can only spell a disastrous aging process, and while it works here it does little for longevity; [LISTEN].
