National Anthem



Every time I turn my iPod on, it is a must for me to listen to Lana Del Rey.  Her music has just a great amount of symbolism in it.  National Anthem is my favorite and I mean favorite song of hers.  Why?  Well because the video is amazingly done with history.  Everyone who watches it should know it goes back to when President John F. Kennedy was America’s leader and his assassination. The National Anthem also shows the story of Marilyn Monroe and how she had the honor of singing “Happy Birthday Mr. President.”
            I also love the way she dresses in the video. She uses the vintage look to show the beauty of her music along with history.  She portrays Mrs. Kennedy by the dress she wears. I just love how she uses a color man to represent President Kennedy and how that relates to the civil rights. Oh I just love history! The beat is amazingly beautiful and her gorgeous voice makes it intense for you to stop what you are doing and think about Kennedy’s assassination. Her music makes my life worth it! I just do not know how to go a day without listening to this special song. I love it, it brings me joy and overall it makes me appreciate history and America. <3
