This song genuinely could have been a favorite however, the song is 10 minutes long. The instrumentals are soft and underwhelming compared to loud vocals. “Venice B****” has an early 90’s nostalgic feel to it. However, it’s overwhelming happiness clashes with the sadder songs of the album. It’s one of the most popular songs off the album, and there’s great reason why. The summer vibes given off relate into a nostalgic feeling, brought up from its pop sound and a heavenly voice. It’s upbeat, a factor that plays out in it’s lyrics and melody. This song is completely different from the whole album, but it’s wonderful nonetheless. This song is definitely right up with “The greatest,” however it’s rather repetitive, so listening to it can become a bit daunting. “You moved to California, but it’s just a state of mind,/And you know everyone adores you, /You can’t feel it and you’re tired, /Baby‚ wish that you would hold me or just say that you were mine, /But it’s killing me slowly.” The song is filled with rock themed instrumentals mixed with a relaxing beat. “F*** it I love you” is similar “Happiness is a butterfly,” with a mix of sad lyrics, and a sad melody. If you like soft vocals mixed with ethereal echoes and contemporary beats, then this is the perfect song for you. The melody, however is upbeat and joyful. The lyrical side of the song is moderately sad and tragic.
There are many others that we love and could listen to on repeat, specifically “The greatest.” The hopeful feeling that the song gives off is very well mixed into the album. Trust us, this song is the absolute best song one could listen to when you just need a moment to sit back and feel sad.ĭel Ray sings, “If he’s a serial killer, then what’s the worst/That can happen to a girl who’s already hurt?/I’m already hurt.” The soft melody mixed with the sad lyrics make it almost impossible for one to not feel depressed.
This song is such a great representation of what the album stands for. Our personal favorite, “Happiness is a butterfly.” is a song that doesn’t have as much traction as other songs on the album. She released six of the songs as singles before the album’s release including, “The greatest,” “Mariners Apartment Complex,” ”F*** it I love you,” and a cover of Sublime’s 1996 hit, “Doin’ Time.” Lana Del Rey’s NFR is the perfect transition from hot girl summer into sad girl autumn, with its moody sound and heartbroken lyrics.
