I listen to Pink Floyd. Most of the time. If not them then something like Tool. But mostly old stuff.. But sometimes things change for a day...
It was a rainy day. The sky was really black and grey and there were drops of water and poisonous acid stuff coming from the clouds. You can't even image how painful it was stumbling out of the comfy, warm bed. The big windows just let in even more darkness.
My aunts blender was groaning in her kitchen. The daily awakening of her weird celery-apple-carrot juice.
I was cooped up in the bathroom, feeling too depressed to come out. Until my brother woke up and decided to make my life even more hell-like by yelling his lungs out and sending shock waves throbbing through the bathroom door. So I came out grudgingly.
My uncle was just leaving for work and my parents were packing suitcases. We had planned to walk along the south bank that day... in the rain. How depressing. Another reason the whole atmosphere was so weary was because it was our second last day in London and I did not want to go back home!
So I was just sitting there on the sofa with a pained look on my face and for some reason VintageTV was on. And Lana Del Rey was playing. This was when she was only just becoming famous and I had never heard of her before.
For those who haven't heard her, she has a very lazy, old american movie style voice. Some say she can't sing. I honestly don't have an opinion.
'Swinging in the backyard,
pull up in you fast car,
whistling my name...'
And similarly she drawled the whole song. And I died somewhere in the middle, enthralled.
I don't know whether it was her voice or the way she sang the song. But I think it had a lot to do with the hint of sad reminiscence in her voice.
Every new place I go, a song defines it for me.
Though 'Video games' wasn't a song I would listen to again for a very long time it made the whole bit of leaving behind a place you have really fallen in love with a little more, 'bearable'. It sort of made it feel okay. It seems difficult to explain but if you love travelling and are passionate about music you probably understand what I'm saying.
The reason I do not have an opinion on how she sounds is that I don't listen to the song at all. I go into a world of my own.
So every time I hear 'Video games' specific memories flash by and rattle my bones. The most vivid is that feeling of being reborn on the rainy day.
Thank you Lana, for if you would have come on any other day, I would just have called you a pretty face.
