Lana Del Rey: Hollywood, jazz & Bowie

As lendas de Hollywood nunca envelhecem, diz ela. Poucos dias depois do contundente teledisco de High By the Beach, Lana Del Rey divulga mais um tema do seu álbum Honeymoon. Chama-se Terrence Loves You e traduz-se numa belíssima deambulação romântica por uma paisagem algo jazzística — registe-se o magnífico verso: And I still got jazz when I've got those blues... — em que coabitam as mais sofisticadas referências, incluindo o emblemático "Ground control to Major Tom", roubado ao Space Oddity, de David Bowie. Letra e música, para já.

You are what you are
I don't matter to anyone
But Hollywood legends will never grow old
And all of what's hidden
Well it will never grow cold

But I lost my self when I lost you
And I still got jazz when I've got those blues
And I lost myself when I lost you
And I still get trashed darling when I hear your tunes

But you are who you are
I won't change you for anything
For when you are crazy
I'll let you be bad
I'll never dare change thee to what you are not

But I lost my self when I lost you
But I still got jazz when I've got those blues
(...)

I put the radio on hold you tight in my mind
Isn't strange that you're not here with me
But I know the lights on in the television
Trying to transmit can you hear me

Ground control to Major Tom
Can you hear me all night long
Ground control to Major Tom

But I lost my self when I lost you
But I still got jazz when I've got the blues
