It's been a while since Miss Del Rey has been here, so what better day than today? While I would like it if she released a new album in the future, I can't complain about the work she has out so far, even the old obscure stuff that continues to surprise me. "Oh Say Can You See" is an oldie off of her debut, Lana Del Ray a.k.a. Lizzy Grant, a place where you'll find gems like "Yayo" and "Kill Kill."
This isn't the American national anthem as you know it, or at all for that matter. "Oh Say Can You See" kind of sounds like music from Prince of Tides in that magical, whimsy-fuelled kind of way. It's slow, it's delicate, and that acoustic guitar gets be every time. Forget her "National Anthem," this is the real one. I'm a particular fan of the line: the voice of Nirvana says "come as you are." Lyrical genius once again, Lana. Songs like this are the reason why she's a forever girl crush of mine.
