Lana Del Rey, "Video Games"

I can tell you almost nothing about this song and this singer except that you must listen to this song right now







They've been playing it here and there on SiriusXM; it's one of the best songs of the summer and possibly the most devastating. This The Cool Hunter blog post contains a little background information but the most crucial piece of information--a release date for the album this should appear on--doesn't seem to be available there nor (as of this writing) on Del Rey's Facebook page.

Now I've just played the damn thing a half-dozen times in a row just sitting here, eyes watering about midway through each and every damn elegiacal time. And if for some reason you scrolled/read down to this point without listening to the song: you're at the wrong place in this post, go back. It's an amazement.

I probably like less than half the music you post, and listen to very few of your songs, but I really enjoyed this one.

Thanks for posting it! I've listened to it three times in so far.

Looks like an October release date.
