Video Games

Last week I did hear Lisa sing Video Games for the second time. I love the song, the lyrics and how Lisa's sings the song.
A special Interview with Lisa Brune at:
Elizabeth Grant (born June 21, 1986), better known by her stage name Lana Del Rey, is an American singer/songwriter. Her stage name is a combination of the late Hollywood actress Lana Turner and the Ford Del Rey.
The story goes that Lana Del Rey is actually a failed mainstream artist, and she's being "re-branded" by mainstream dollars in the indie world. Indie rock is a genre of alternative rock that originated in the United Kingdom and the United States in the 1980s. Indie rock is extremely diverse, with sub-genres that include indie pop, grunge, jangle pop, C86, and lo-fi, among others.
Considering all information, many bloggers have taken it upon themselves to call Del Rey a fake, a phony, a no talent lame streamer that they were praising just two weeks prior. Does talent just disappear because it turns out that Lizzy Grant has been playing a character this entire time? Tell that to Lady Gaga, who constantly reinvents herself on stage. There is no denying her musical talent behind the piano and the microphone. Much like Gaga, Lana Del Rey still possesses talent. She has a great voice, and two great singles. They may sound like some songs that you and I have heard before, but she's ignited a spark in an otherwise dull music scene lately.

"Video Games" was written and composed by Del Rey and Justin Parker, and produced by latter and RoboPop. It was first released to the internet on June 29, 2011 and later re-released as the first single from the album Born to Die on October 10, 2011, through Interscope Records. It received mostly positive reviews from critics.

Video Games

Swinging in the backyard
Pull up in your fast car
Whistling my name

Open up a beer
And you say get over here
And play a video game

I'm in his favorite sun dress
Watching me get undressed
Take that body downtown

I say you the bestest
Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favorite perfume on

Go play a video game

It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby now you do

Singing in the old bars
Swinging with the old stars
Living for the fame

Kissing in the blue dark
Playing pool and wild darts
Video games

He holds me in his big arms
Drunk and I am seeing stars
This is all I think of

Watching all our friends fall
In and out of Old Paul's
This is my idea of fun
Playing video games

It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby now you do

(Now you do)

It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby now you do
