First off, I have to prepare everyone because I bought the new Chevelle album today...so expect lots of talk about that very soon.
Then we have today's song, another selection by the lovely Lana Del Rey, and it's most likely one that you've never heard. She seems to have a lot of music out there that's never been officially released, but that's okay, because I've somehow seemed to have acquired most of it. "Get Drunk" isn't from an album or collection of unreleased songs, per say, but kind of fits in with the acoustic May Jailer work that I've mentioned before. It's not as Jewel as those songs, though, and has a little hint of her more recent style of music, even if she's only singing with an acoustic guitar. Though she does well with opulence in music, her minimal stuff is just as great. "Get Drunk" is lyrically strong and has quite the dark energy to it, with Lana nearly breathing how do you like me now? over and over. Lana manages to be dreary but wonderful at the same time, and it's the inner complexities that make up "Get Drunk" that makes it a thing of beauty. Minimal beauty, but beauty nonetheless.
Cigarettes and robitussen, will I ever get to heaven?
