Song of the Week: “National Anthem” by Lana Del Rey

Song of the Week: National Anthem by Lana Del Rey

Melissa Ng, Staff Writer

So, this is my first ever post for the school newspaper (shoutout to Jonny Kandell for signing me up for it), and I’m very glad it’s a music column. Many people say I have good music taste so hopefully that’s somewhat true so this column doesn’t flop.

Many of you are well aware that I have a slight obsession with a certain artist named Lana Del Rey. And for those of you that don’t know, I have seen her twice live already and both experiences were like a second (and third) baptism.

I dedicate my first song of the week to her; it was hard to choose which song to use (mostly because the majority of the songs are inappropriate and not allowed to be shared on the school site); therefore “National Anthem” by Lana Del Rey is the chosen one.

The music video is focused on the assassination of John F. Kennedy and re-enactments of his personal life; let the dark pop and hip hop beats take over and listen closely to the story telling lyrics.
