Easter Update

So it's Easter at the moment, hope everyone is enjoying their chocolate eggs and hot cross buns! It's been beautiful weather this weekend and I am making the most of it taking some time off from my projects and study. I graduate at the end of this year hopefully and am looking forward to it!

Here's a video from 'Lana Del Rey' that I am absolutely in love with at the moment. 'Blue Jeans' is the name of it and it's from her album 'Born to Die'. Google it. Go on. The rest of her album is equally awesome and I am going to do a few covers of her songs soon-ish, really excited!
In this song, she's singing about a guy she loves but who hasn't treated her the best, and the cinematography is stunning, all in black and white which is very rarely successfully pulled off. There is a parallel in the video clip between her 'lover' being a predator or in this case, an alligator and it's very well done showing her swimming with an alligator from underwater, and from above the water it's her 'lover'. The ideas of beauty and mystery are also symbolic elements. Parts of the chorus are reminiscent of Kate Bush, a singer/songwriter from the 80's who was famous for 'Wuthering Heights' Google that too.
This is an inspirational work of art both visually and musically! How we all enjoy playing with fire from time to time and this song sums it up so well. <3 Lana Del Rey.
Here you go, enjoy your Easter lovelies!
