Videojuegos

Esta canción de Lana del Rey la utilizó RTVE para anunciar su ciclo de cine clásico. Era la primera vez que oía hablar de la compositora.

Video Games catapultó a la fama a la cantante. Varias cosas me llamaban la atención: el tono melancólico de la voz de Lana, unos arreglos musicales que otorgan solemnidad al tema, el carácter musical... Indie pop, por ponerle una etiqueta, pues combina una tendencia pop aunque surje dentro de ámbitos musicales alternativos.

La canción forma parte del álbum Born to die (2012), segundo en la carrera de Lana. Me asomé por curiosidad a algunas de sus canciones, aunque no me atrajeron demasiado. Tal vez tendría que darle una segunda oportunidad. Tiempo al tiempo.




Video Games

Swingin' in the backyard
Pull up in your fast car
Whistlin' my name
Open up a beer
And you say, "Get over here
And play a video game"

I'm in his favorite sun dress
Watchin' me get undressed
Take that body downtown
I say you're the bestest
Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favorite perfume on
Go play your video game

It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls, honey
Is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
An' baby, now you do

Singin' in the old bars
Swingin' with the old stars
Livin' for the fame
Kissin' in the blue dark
Playin' pool and wild darts
Video games

He holds me in his big arms
Drunk and I am seein' stars
This is all I think of
Watchin' all our friends fall
In and out of Old Paul's
This is my idea of fun
Playin' video games

It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls, honey
Is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
An' baby, now you do

Na-now you do, now you do, now you do
Na-now you do, now you do, now you do

It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls, honey
Is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
An' baby, now you do

Na-now you do, now you do, now you do
Now you do
Na-now you do, now you do, now you do
