Mariners Apartment ComplexLana Del Rey29rank/position

Lana Del Rey – Mariners Apartment Complex

Released in September 2018 by American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey, this song is a beautiful ballad that marks a turning point in her music.

In this work, she moves away from the traditional image of a “tragic, fragile woman,” instead singing about her inner strength and reliability toward her partner.

Blending elements of soft rock and country at 76 BPM, the track layers warm piano and acoustic guitar with her delicate yet powerful vocals.

As a lead single for the album “Norman Fucking Rockwell!,” it drew significant attention and helped earn a Grammy nomination.

This classic is recommended for couples—lovers or spouses—who support each other.

Lana Del Rey – Music To Watch Boys To

This work is striking for its sweet, dreamy sound that feels like you’re slowly sinking into it.

The melodies, which numb the senses like anesthesia, are part of its allure.

It traps quiet emotions like lingering gazes and afterglow within sound, unfolding a worldview that evokes nostalgia for retro film scores.

This track is included on Lana Del Rey’s masterpiece Honeymoon, released in September 2015.

The music video released the same month is also a superb realization steeped in her aesthetic, and it’s something you’ll want to sit with on a languid afternoon, lost in thought as you listen.

Lana Del Rey – Norman F***ing Rockwell (Official Music Video)

Lana Del Rey, a singer-songwriter from New York, describes her own genre as “sadcore,” and true to that label, she has released many deeply melancholic songs.

Her musical style is perfect for September, a month that carries a sense of wistfulness.

A work I especially recommend is Norman Fucking Rockwell.

While its melodies evoke soft rock and dream pop, it’s by no means cheerful; it fully embodies what she calls “sadcore.” Its poignant melodies are perfect for autumn.

Once Upon A DreamLana Del Rey32rank/position

Lana Del Rey – Once Upon A Dream (Music Video)

It’s the theme song from the 2014 film Maleficent.

The original is from Disney’s Sleeping Beauty.

Unlike the original, this version has a slow, flowing feel that seems to invite sleep and melt away fatigue.

As expected, Lana Del Rey—who excels at darker tones—pulled off this kind of remake beautifully.

RideLana Del Rey33rank/position

Lana Del Rey – Ride

This is a track where the harmony between strings and piano feels exquisitely soothing.

When it comes to Lana Del Rey, many of us strongly associate her with a world that feels like an old film.

The atmosphere that portrays a kind of spiritual drifting—loneliness and wandering—evokes a deep sense of nostalgia.

This song is included on the EP “Paradise,” released in September 2012, as well as on the reissue album “Born to Die: The Paradise Edition.” Be sure to check out the music video too, which plays like a short film of about 10 minutes.

The work carries a message about breaking free from inner conflict and just keeping on running.

It’s the perfect companion for a drive when you want to recharge your energy for tomorrow!

Shades Of CoolLana Del Rey34rank/position

Lana Del Rey – Shades Of Cool

This is a song by Lana Del Rey that portrays the feeling of being drawn to someone whose emotions don’t connect with yours, expressed through a deeply reverberant guitar tone.

Her vocals shift from a whispering low register to a dreamy high range, creating a unique world that feels heated yet cool.

The track was released as a single in May 2014 and included on the album Ultraviolence in June of the same year.

Though it has no official tie-in, its sound evokes a noir film soundtrack, giving the whole piece a melancholy atmosphere.

It’s a masterpiece I’d recommend to anyone who struggles with emotional distance yet can’t escape the allure of a dangerous person.

On a quietly sinking night, be sure to check out the music video as well, which exudes a decadent mood.

Take Me Home, Country Roads (John Denver Cover)Lana Del Rey35rank/position

Lana Del Rey – Take Me Home, Country Roads (Official Audio)

John Denver’s classic “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” In Japan, it’s also widely known as “Country Road.” The singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey has covered this famous song that everyone knows.

Her slightly husky voice enhances the song’s wistful, melancholic feel.

It’s a piece almost everyone has heard, but I think you’ll sense a different kind of charm in her version.

It’s also nice to compare it with the original and the Japanese version.
