young and beautiful lana del rey lyrics meaning
Young and Beautiful (Lana Del Rey song) With the lyrics "Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?", Del Rey adds a hint of desperation which parallels the idiosyncrasies faced by the characters in F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel The Great Gatsby.[9] Del Rey's dreamy vocals are draped over sedated strings and canned percussion.[9] The soft and dreary vocals, falling in line with Del Rey's retro affectation, fits the atmosphere of the 1920s when the novel is set.[10] The lyrics rotate around the themes of pleasing a lover, nostalgia, and the gloom of aging.[11] The Cedric Gervais remix of the song was released on October 11, 2013.
Stone Cold (Demi Lovato song) The song's lyrics portray the pain of watching an ex move on after a break-up and trying to be happy for them once they find happiness with someone else.[12][13] A writer from Billboard compared the song to Lovato's own "Skyscraper" (2011), and to Adele.[7][9] During an interview with Ryan Seacrest, Lovato stated, "This song is your heartbreak song. I wanted to have a song that people can listen to when they're going through it, or they're thinking about a time they were heartbroken." She also added that "Stone Cold" "is the type of song that I wanted people to feel in their hearts and ripped their guts out."[14]
