Young and beautiful

Cantante: Lana del Rey

I’ve seen the world, done it all
Had my cake now
Diamonds, brilliant, in Bel-Air now
Hot summer nights, mid July
When you and I were forever wild
The crazy days, city lights
The way you’d play with me like a child
Will you still love me
When I’m no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me
When I’ve got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I’m no longer beautiful?
I’ve seen the world, lit it up
As my stage now
Channeling angels in a new age now
Hot summer days, rock and roll
The way you play for me at your show
And all the ways, I got to know
Your pretty face and electric soul
Will you still love me
When I’m no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me
When I’ve got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I’m no longer beautiful?
Dear lord, when I get to heaven
Please let me bring my man
When he comes tell me that you’ll let him in
Father tell me if you can
All that grace, all that body
All that face, makes me wanna party
He’s my sun, he makes me shine like diamonds
Will you still love me
When I’m no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me
When I’ve got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I’m no longer beautiful?
Will you still love me when I’m no longer beautiful?
Will you still love me when I’m not young and beautiful?

La voce dell’eterea Lana del Ray non è melifflua, è calda, ti avvolge ma non ti si appiccica. Ha quel giusto equilibrio che non ti fa nauseare.

Poi, questa Young and Beautiful è stupenderimma. Quando ti domanda “Will you still love me when I’m no longer beautiful?” – mi amerai ancora quando non sarò più bella? -, sembra che te lo dica proprio a te, ti entra nel cuore e ti trafigge.

Questa consapevolezza ti fa amare la Lana del Rey, nonostante possa essere spazzata via da un soffio di vento. Eppure nonostante le critiche feroci, ha sempre resistito ed è rimasta in piedi.
