Lana Del Rey
Old Money (Audio Commentary)
"Old Money" is probably one of the tracks on the record that’s the most idyllic of them all. It's more based in, kind of, fantastical snapshots I have of being on the corner of Hollywood & Vine, like I was channeling something. It's really my oldest track on the record 'cause it's, it's a song that’s been in the works for about 5 years. It was called "Methamphetamines" at first and what's funny is I had to talk to my publishing company because I didn't know that I was referencing a melody from the original score of Romeo and Juliet from, I think, the sixties and it was so similar that, you know, half of the publishing belongs to them as well now but obviously I was channeling something really nostalgic. For me, it's also one of my favorite tracks.
