[00:00.947]Delighted to welcome Lana Del Rey! Hello.
[00:01.692]Hi!
[00:02.944]How are you?
[00:03.943]I’m good. And how are you?
[00:05.452]I’m fine. I’ve ever noticed in your videos before the gold teeth.
[00:06.697]Is that a recent edition? Have you chipped it? What’s going on there?
[00:08.694]It’s a recent edition ya just… you know I just keeping in a real, just for a little bit..
[00:11.200]Are you dentally good though?
[00:13.198]Ya, all good
[00:19.700]Ya the brits are too, I don’t know what are they talking about?
[00:22.947]It’s a terrible stereotype.
[00:24.445]That’s stupid.
[00:24.945]Although I …
[00:25.943]I know all about that.
[00:27.953]So you first caught our attention last summer when I saw a video of a couple of your songs online
[00:30.193]And from saw the videos, the image I had of you in my imagination was this kind of Bohemian girl who’s perhaps a bit like jade wit life
[00:39.946]Who probably lived in a small quite cluttered apartment full of bricabracan and nicknacks
[00:47.701]And you spend your spare time go to garage sells
[00:50.452]And buying a couple of scenic films
[00:53.693]And splice them together by night.
[00:55.444]How closed that truth?
[00:57.200]I don’t know. I mean I feel like that…
[00:59.195]I feel like that the vision is …
[01:01.946]Like you’re talking about the same girl except I just
[01:04.199]I don’t go to the garage or anything like that…
[01:08.193]I’m really hunting for my film on YouTobe
[01:11.443](right) but … I don’t know …
[01:14.949]It’s half a way there..
[01:16.194]
[01:18.445]Ok it’s no get of truth in there
[01:20.197]So you don’t got o the garage sells
[01:21.452]What do you spend your money?
[01:22.695]Or are you a thrifty person?
[01:24.447]What I do my money spend on?
[01:26.201]I don’t spend my money on anything. I just …
[01:29.195]You re thrifty-yeah I’m thrifty. Yeah I hate spend my money.
[01:31.695]But you’re not somebody who puts a lot of sentimental value on things.
[01:35.952]You are more of an experienced person?
[01:37.196]Not really, I mean…
[01:38.446]You know like if I had a lot of money
[01:39.944]Like I’ll buy something like really beautiful like maybe with little diamonds in it
[01:41.700]About this little ring
[01:47.191]But other than that
[01:49.443]Like I spend money on you know
[01:55.886]like it’s actually experience to get some of those films cleared like for video games
[01:59.636]and things like that and I like to put my money back into the music usually
[02:00.888]and are you from a film background or a music back ground
[02:01.886]music
[02:04.141]so you didn’t like… its just an interest you…came to yourself
[02:06.637]ya I didn’t study it.
[02:08.136]I was like a writer first and a singer.
[02:11.385]And then kind of came into editing later
[02:14.391]But it’s something I ended up feeling just as passionate about as singing, so…
[02:18.883]So manage the picture and the voice(yeah)
[02:22.137]And so… so quickly in terms of having a record out
[02:27.640]And I don’t know how quickly is in terms of what’s going on your life
[02:29.891]But certainly so quickly in terms of having release a record
[02:32.887]It’s gone very massive it’s huge level of success
[02:36.380]And then there’s been this a kind of unprecedented very modern kind of snippy backlash
[02:42.641]How’s that…that is tentative for you?
[02:44.891]Do you feel like you got everything you wanted on one hand but it has been tainted?
[02:49.142]I don’t know if it’s been tainted,
[02:51.380]It’s definitely been different from what I expected
[02:54.133]But you know I have a lot of time to think about the record and what I want
[03:01.086]Coz you know I’ve been written it since last year
[03:03.593]So I  sort of finished writing record before anything was really happening
[03:08.343]And so…I don’t know I mean I don’t really think it’s tainted.
[03:14.089]But  I couldn’t have imaged that it like this. I guess that I’d say
[03:17.097]I think most people’s way to image success is people are hearing your music ,you are out playing shows and people are liking it.
[03:23.344]I don’t image that some snipping on a hipster blog or on a brochure review is a part of that. Though you re quite bulletproof to that criticism, do you think it?
[03:28.091]I don’t know .you know, I don’t think it too much only because you know I’ve been in new York for about 7 years and a lot of people I started singing with don’t sing anymore, don’t write anymore.
[03:50.238]So the fact I can still do that like come here, play shows, sing and write
[03:54.986]You know, that’s kind of a gift, that’s kind of I sort of stay focus on like I keep writing
[03:58.993]when I went back to New York and California
[04:00.244]the last two weeks I got to come back into the studio and keep working so I find that when I’m working, it’s easier to just sinking to that.
[04:09.439]You’re bad with down time then?
[04:12.691]No, I actually really like down time but I haven’t had too much of it.
[04:15.685]Well that probably get wild before you get any as well.  - we’ll see.
[04:20.931]And Lana Del Rey then the sort of name or the personal, is it you as a person or is a part you’re playing?
[04:25.681]Definitely very much me.Emm…I just had… I just really wanted a name that was as beautiful as I thought the music was gonna be
[04:32.182]Like where did you find where did you find the name come from?
[04:37.940]Well. I was going with my sister a lot to Miami…
[04:41.434]We were spending time with our friends from Cuba
[04:44.192]And I wanted something that’s different sort of sound like…
[04:48.435]Faded seaside glamour
[04:50.931]And that was something that sounded beautiful but sonically
[04:53.186]I just like a way it sort of rolled  off the tip of tongue
[04:54.940]Did you have a long list of the other option?
[04:57.692]I had a very short list
[04:59.940]What else is on the list?
[05:00.939]I don’t know.
[05:02.182]You do know-I wouldn’t tell you. I’m sure I wouldn’t tell you.
[05:04.935]A question I want to talk to you is it real Nancy Sinatra being in touch
[05:09.184]After having describe yourself as gangsta Nancy Sinatra?
[05:12.932]No she hasn’t,no.
[05:18.876]But you know I mean like again that I had something I just put on my Youtube page like for fun.
[05:25.874]And the as soon as the song sort of got more attention and then people had grabbed that phrase of my Youtube and started recycling it before I could even get a hold on it
[05:32.621]But that’s a way of the things you can ues phrases like that in bios and Tweeter or Youtube for years
[05:34.618]And nobody knows them, but the second on spotlight is on.
[05:37.370]But everything is hype-scrutinized.
[05:39.124]I know, that’s was a real classy…classy decision, that’s great
[05:42.629]Ask this question what music is die rise to you in fact
[05:46.877]If you’ll be euthanized, what would be on the CD mistype for you to die to?
[05:51.128]Well, I was…I didn’t have any another answer for you
[05:55.620]But since you put it that way, I probably died to Jeff Buckley,
[05:59.624]I guess there probably wouldn’t be another way.
[06:02.621]It’s good way to go out yeah-good music.
[06:05.629]Good music to die to, send me on the heaven,heavenly voice, heavenly tunes
[06:10.121]But I have a couple of records that I sort of near endeared me.
[06:14.127]I really like Nirvana and I really like Bob Dylan, and I like frank Sinatra’s voice.
[06:23.082]Are you scared to death?
[06:26.076]Well yeah yeah …
[06:28.582]Do you think about your own death?
[06:29.835]I used to think about it.
[06:32.332]Did you see it like natural cases at old age or tragic starlet robbed of life?
[06:38.580]No, I don’t know what I thought.
[06:43.084]I just knew that it scared me, god! I don’t know.
[06:45.080]Cos they say there are two types of people that the people who fantasized about their weddings and and people who fantasize about their own funerals
[06:50.587]That’s true.
[06:51.324]Yeh yeh do you think you are falling into other those categories?
[06:54.080]Yeh I’m a modern day woman, I think I fall into both of them.
[06:56.329]I fantasized about I was both of them.
[06:59.081]Would you have a happy funeral or people really are clenching their teeth and wailing
[07:02.830]And outpouring grief?
[07:04.331]That’s a good question.
[07:06.086]The same goes for wedding
[07:07.081]Hopefully just the family would be their god, I don’t know
[07:10.268]Oh emm…can you pinpoint a moment in your life where you feel that was the moment be it one second or ten minutes
[07:20.953]Or whatever that you felt that you are content and happiest?
[07:24.701]Yeh I mean for me it’s… I mean for me it’s really every day.
[07:26.210]I mean I can’t really explain to you.
[07:28.952]I’m really so grateful just to be alive and healthy every single day
[07:31.702]That’s such a surprise for me given that the film
[07:34.709]You used have a sense of nostalgia to  them
[07:38.204]I would expect you to be nostalgia of a summer or you know a boat journey
[07:41.710]Or you know something you would romanticize that way-ah yeah i think i see...
[07:44.207]I mean like I see everything in the pictures like when i think back to the way that things they were very vivid to me like and i do
[07:56.151]When I kind of write I sort of write back to the picture that I can remember
[07:57.150]But I mean that a lot of things that people said they thought they were said
[08:02.398]I actually thought I were happy be
[08:03.396]And like you know when I wrote Video Games
[08:05.148]I mean to me it was real a love song
[08:07.157]It was actually about sort of a happy time
[08:08.654]But I think because of the melody is sort of sullen that...
[08:12.904]Did you, when you came up with the melody which we heard just before
[08:15.655]You know that lift in the chorus
[08:18.651]You know, did you know you’re on to something
[08:21.146]Because it’s something almost like military like
[08:22.655]a military band  or Last Post or something about it
[08:25.396]I personally thought that I was on to something
[08:27.904]I mean not on to something I mean in terms of
[08:30.899]Writing a melody that I thought describe me perfectly
[08:35.904]You know like that I thought was gorgeous  and didn’t compromise
[08:40.650]I definitely thought the song did that
[08:43.647]But it was you know a choir 5min 30 sec
[08:47.151]Love ballet with no instruments
[08:48.908]So sentiment wasn’t necessarily you know
[08:51.902]And you feel like the girl in that song still
[08:54.899]Um yeah I mean I always feel...I mean
[08:57.647]I always feel like the same person
[08:59.157]Wherever I go sort of
[09:00.898]But you know she’s not...she wasn’t sad you know like...
[09:03.896]it doesn’t same like that...
[09:05.148]Seems like something called slug...might be but can’t say the slug love
[09:09.154]You know you’re just kind of happy to
[09:11.396]Lie around with someone around(yeah)some wall slop out
[09:13.904]Yeah, I mean I really enjoy...
[09:18.152]You know I’m just... it’s nice to be in love.yeah...so...
[09:25.039]And what you want?
[09:26.792]I have everything I want.
[09:30.046]That was OK...what you hope for? What you strike for? What’s your ambition?
[09:35.289]I really can’t think of any.
[09:36.791]I wouldn’t have to leave the house if I felt like that
[09:38.795]I don’t wanna leave the house,I’m happy at home
[09:43.244]I really am,I am!
[09:47.941]Lana thank you so much for talking to us,
[09:48.441]The best luck with the album Burn To Die
[09:50.195]Thank you, I appreciate it, appreciate it.
