#LOVE LANA DEL REY ALBUM COVER MOVIE#

Indeed, one way to disappear would be to live oneвЂ™s so-called real life as if it were Written on the Wind or Imitation of Lifeor Melancholia or Brokeback Mountain or cherished photographs that we want to be documentaries but are in fact fantasies (as might be the case with the Del ReyвЂ™s photographs, both archival and original, that are interspersed in her new poetry book Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass). Staying with the doomed ship (loving the doomed ship, even) is an act of radical generosity. Such an unabashed display of sentimentality is compounded by the photographic and/or painterly image on the albumвЂ™s cover, in which Del Rey clings to a man, a handsome man, and she clings to the American flag and Americana, and she clings to kitsch and she clings to melodrama and the problematic histories that each of these normative and patriarchal phenomena might provide, even as they all sink together.

вЂњNow itвЂ™s been years since I left New York / I got a kid and two cats in the yard / The California sun and the movie stars / I watch the skies getting light as I write / As I think about those years / As I whisper in your ear / IвЂ™m always gonвЂ™ to be right here / No oneвЂ™s going anywhere.

In вЂњHow to Disappear,вЂќ a song from her last album, Norman Fucking Rockwell!, Lana Del Rey leads us to expect a how-to manual, but she gives us a poem instead:
