If you dance, I'll dance
And if you don't, I'll dance anyway
Give peace a chance
Let the fear you have fall away

I've got my eye on you
I've got my eye on you

Say yes to Heaven
Say yes to me
Say yes to Heaven
Say yes to me

If you go, I'll stay
You come back, I'll be right here
Like a barge at sea
In the storm, I stay clear

'Cause I've got my mind on you
I've got my mind on you

Say yes to Heaven
Say yes to me
Say yes to Heaven
Say yes to me

If you dance, I'll dance
I'll put my red dress on, get it on
And if you fight, I'll fight
It doesn't matter now, it's all gone

I've got my mind on you
I got my mind on you

Say yes to Heaven
Say yes to me
Say yes to Heaven
Say yes to me

I've got my eye on you
I've got my eye on you, mm
I've got my eye on you
I've got my eye on you

She knows her genre / lane and sticks to it

See the Sky About to Rain . . .

Shades of Mazzy Star - same sort of wistfulness and delivery as Hope Sandoval .... 
This song was OK the first hundred times I heard it here...

Sorry, someone has to say it...
Oh, when will the breathy, anesthetized vocal aesthetic be over?

Whereas to me, Robert Plant’s voice always sounds like nails on a chalkboard and I’d rather listen to Lana Del Rey or indeed Billy Eilish (or Alison Krauss for that matter). To each their own.

Yes! 

And I love that you used the word 'ennui.' Brilliant.

This sounds better every time I hear it, must have something to do with what's being played on RP these days. No offense Lana, it's a good song!

It's in Long Beach, CA.   There are two tunnels under Ocean Blvd, both of them long closed.  One in downtown between two buildings and another that goes from Bixby Park to the beach. 
Lana overdose! She followed up The Cure at Paleo in Nyon a couple of years back - that didn't go well. But this is a nice song.
Trying to put my finger on just what's so irritating about this track ... at first I hear "See the Sky About to Rain" by Neil Young, but then it just gets repetitive and circles the drain for several stanzas. Meh.

 I first  heard of and saw her in the memorial concert for Leonard Cohen, performing Chelsea Hotel #2 with Adam Cohen--sexy, touching, a highlight of the evening. Just getting used to her music. 
Looks like this track is not really part of the "tunnel" album. Written in 2014 and released in 2023, one may consider it went through a long tunnel before coming to light. I think he deserves it.
The new London Grammar remix of this song is even better - we need to get that in rotation here!

I wonder why the year isn't getting included with these newer song additions.  It feels like it's breaking the great music database here.

You may be onto something there. But in general, for me, music without emotion is uninteresting (think elevator/dental office music or your local "light hits" FM: intended to offend no one). I don't think her music lacks emotion.  It doesn't have a lot of dynamic range. It might be considered restrained or understated. Billy Eilish ('ethereal' or 'whispery' per critics) is a great example. It doesn't demand to be heard and could be turned down in the background and ignored., unlike the Robert Plant that followed this just now. Sort of like a black and white photo vs one with super saturated color - both can be impactful though hugely different). Or maybe I'm completely up in the night.

Ordering the comments by Newest, I see you've posted five successive negative comments about this song/artist.  I'm tempted to enquire whether she's pissed on your chips, or stolen your boyfriend.



I was going to suggest M. Signwrtr61 use the little arrow/line at the bottom of the screen and click it. Much less energy wasted.
Daughter (15) says, please thank RP for playing Lana. And I concur (treasure the convergence with the teen!!)
Thanks RP :)

Edit: Not sure if this is going to stay this way, but there's an almost pop art quality to the echoing pics (album cover and wiki page). Somehow wish there were more tilted Lanas on the screen :)

Please! Don't make her head swell, any larger than it already is! She's right on par with any of the "Hollywood prisses" ! ANY of her level "artists" that are played here, almost an involuntary move to PSD!!

Maybe listen to some Cowboy  Junkies, Mazzy Star or  Hope Sandoval working solo, it's aaaaaaall like that.

Very politely stated! But, probably much like the space between her ears!

Oh, PLEASE don't put LDR in even the same state as NY! Much less, make comparisons of the 2's music! Ugh! Regardless of her achievements, accolades and all that, she's a camera/attention seeker. Don't care for her OR her boring tunes.

Lily34 is right: Lana sounds bored much of the time. When she sings with real emotion, she can put a lump in my throat. But the general lack of passion and the often uninspired lyrics leave me wondering, "Is that it?"
