Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul…
They say youth is the most carefree time of our life, full of passion, enthusiasm and, of course, love. The time when it seems that none of that will ever end. But will it not? The apprehension of the inevitable aging and the changes it will bring is a strong emotional message conveyed through the recent song by the young and sensual American singer Elizabeth Woolridge Grant – or Lana Del Rey.
This alternative rock ballad performed by the dreamy Lana Del Rey was a long-awaited and quite an expected song for the charming singer’s fans. The song was recorded as the soundtrack to one of the most stunning recent movies “The Great Gatsby” – a TV-version of the same-named novel by Francis Scott Fitzgerald. Like movie like soundtrack – both well-received by the critics. Even though in most music journals “Young and Beautiful” was called a very somber song, a haunting one, it was acknowledged to perfectly fit the idea. Moreover, Lana’s unique vocals polished with еру early 20’s music style worked a good picture, helping to express the whole nostalgia, despair and tragedy in the movie. The song was Lana Del Rey’s first single to get into the major US music chart, to the Top 10 best tracks.
The popularity of Del Rey’s original style was thus preserved and passed on from her previous hit song “Video Games”.
