Carmen


It's alarming truly how disarming you can be







I have a love/hate relationship with Del Rey's music. I was addicted to her as of summer this year. I listened to her album, Born to Die, over and over and over and over and over again.

Palm trees, pool, sunset, vintage feel. This photo definitely has all the elements of a Del Rey music video.


It's to the extent that I realized she sounds like a drunkard trying to do karaoke. A theory proven by youtube videos of her live performances. Though admittedly, she sounds perfect when recorded. But anyway, I tried listening to her again (recorded) and she still sounds as perfect and as vintage as when I first heard her. And she is so damn beautiful. She looks like a mix of Natalie Portman and Julia Roberts. Like, how could someone be so pretty?!

So yes... here I am. All wound up in her music again. And as of the moment, I can't stop listening to Carmen (that one posted above). I don't know if it is just me but I think this song has a Chinese feel at the end part of the chorus ("like lightning, oooh, like lightni-eh-eh-ing").
