Description:
American singer songwriter Lana Del Rey with her first live performance on UK television. This was a live broadcast and she is a litlle nervous here as you would expect Thanks for the many interesting comments :)Born Elizabeth Grant (June 21, 1986) now better known by her stage name Lana Del Ray. Her stage name is a combination of the late old Hollywood actress Lana Turner and the Ford Del ReyLana's song "Video Games" was named "Best New Track" by Pitchfork Tickets for Grant's show in London sold out in half an hourShe wrote the song with songwriter Justin Parker after he played her the piano chords that would become its backbone. The song is about a relationship, in which she expresses her frustration at making all the running. She explained to Complex Magazine: "When you're an introvert like me and you've been lonely for a while, and then you find someone who understands you, you become really attached to them. It's a real release."Del Ray's lyrics were inspired by two broken relationships in her past. "The verse was about the way things were with one person, and the chorus was the way that I wished things had really been with another person, who I thought about for a long time," she told Socialstereotype.com, breaking into an acapella of the song. "'Swinging in the backyard, pull up in your fast car, whistling my name'. That was what happened, you know? He'd come home and I'd see him. But then the chorus, 'Heaven is a place on earth with you, tell me all the things you wanna do' wasn't like that. That was the way that I wished it was -- the melody sounds so compelling and heavenly because I wanted it to be that way.The verse is more matter-of-fact because that's how it was. It's a mix of memories and the way I wished it could have been. Just because things happened a certain way doesn't mean that that's the way that they are. It really is what you choose to think about. Bad things happen every day but you're not going to be any happier thinking about them. So I don't think about them. I don't have that luxury any more. Some people say that 'Video Games' stops them in their tracks; it's that kind of song. It's just really sad."Video Games(Elizabeth Grant, Justin Parker.)Swingin in the back yardPull up in your fast carWhistlin my nameOpen up a beer andSay get over hereAnd play a video gameI'm in his favorite sun dressWatchin me get undressedTake my body down townI say 'You da bestest'Lean in for a big kissPut his favorite perfume onGo play a video gameIt's you, it's you, it's all for youEverything I doTell you all the timeHeaven is a place on earth with youTell me all the things you wanna doI heard that you like the bad girlsHoney, is that true?It's better than I ever even knewThey say that the world was built for twoOnly worth livingIf somebody is loving youBaby now you doSinging in the old barSwinging with the old starsLiving for the fameKissing in the blue darkPlaying pool and wild dartsVideo gamesHe holds me in his big armsHe's drunk and I am seein' starsThis is all I think of[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/l/lana-del-ray-lyrics/video-games-lyrics.html ]Watchin all our friends fallLeanin out of old carsThis is my idea of funPlaying video gamesIt's you, it's you, it's all for youEverything I doTell you all the timeHeaven is a place on earth with youTell me all the things you wanna doI heard that you like the bad girlsHoney, is that true?It's better than I ever even knewThey say that the world was built for twoOnly worth livingIf somebody is loving youBaby now you do(Now you do)It's you, it's you, it's all for youEverything I doTell you all the timeHeaven is a place on earth wit' youTell me all the things you wanna do doI heard that you like the bad girlsHoney, is that true?It's better than I ever even knewThey say that the world was built for twoOnly worth livingIf somebody is loving youMaybe now you doMaybe now you do(Now you do)
