Look at you kids, you know you’re the coolest,” she sings reassuringly, relinquishing her role as the protagonist. With himself on keyboards, Bowie assembled a band that included Ricky Gardiner on guitar, with brothers Tony Fox and Hunt Sales on bass and drums, respectively. Her layers on layers of symbolism can be disorienting, as I imagine Del Rey intends them to be, encouraging endless cross-references and deep-dive readings of her work that seek to apply some grand cinematic theory to it all—and perhaps there is.

Perhaps the most significant departure here is evident from Lust for Life’s first song, “ Love”—a warm, grainy, ’50s-rock anthem (and by far the album’s best single) in which Del Rey shifts focus from her own internal struggle to address her audience directly. In a very positive review from GQ Magazine, Kevin Long wrote that "Like Lorde's Melodrama, Lust for Life is an accomplished piece of art, an antidote to the banal tunes permeating the charts and one of the best albums released this year so far. The album became the biggest commercial success involving Pop up to that point, reaching the top 40 in both the US and the UK charts.

It’s a drag to rehash the Born to Die discourse now—a conversation so tediously narrow over a body of work that would prove, over the next five years, to be thrillingly rich. Although RCA had pressed decent quantities of the album, once the first pressings were sold out, there were none left. The first single serving as the lead single from the record, " Love", was officially released worldwide on February 18, 2017, shortly after being leaked online.

On September 27, 2017, Del Rey announced the LA to the Moon Tour, an official world tour to further promote the album. She stated during interviews for BBC 1 Radio and Complex magazine that the song had more personal lyrics and she did not want to reveal such personal details. On July 24, 2017, Del Rey began a small promotional tour at the Brixton Academy in London in promotion of Lust for Life. And on “13 Beaches,” a Hollywood film score that stutters and thuds into narcotic rap drums and ’90s alternative angst, Del Rey merges her symbolism and literalism into something like zen poetry: “It took 13 beaches/To find one empty/But finally it’s mine.

But the best parts of Lust for Life are simpler—songs that succeed not to the extent to which they concentrate the Lana Del Rey mythos, that present her songwriting as poetry that can stand on its own. Kotiinkuljetuksesta perimme rahulia 3,99€ pienemmistä lähetyksistä (lähinnä cd:t) ja isoimmista vermeistä eli vinyyleistä, huppareista yms 5,99€. On May 27, 2017, Del Rey had stated in an interview that the album had 18 tracks in total, but when the track list was officially revealed there were two less. Because sometimes, just being pure of heart, and having good intentions, and letting them be known, is the most worthy contribution an artist can make.
