Notable American acts include the two most popular solo artists in recorded music history, Elvis Presley (of Tupelo, Mississippi) and Michael Jackson (of Gary, Indiana). Both artists have sold over a billion records. During the 1960's, The Beach Boys drew comparison to The Beatles of Great Britain in terms of influence; their album Pet Sounds was cited as an inspiration for much of the Fab Four's post-1966 studio work. Seattle native Jimi Hendrix was arguably the most iconic musical act of the 1960's, though he spent much of his career as a resident in London. In 2016, Minnesota native Bob Dylan became the first musician to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Summertime Sadness
Lana Del Rey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dancin' in the dark in the pale moonlight
Done my hair up real big, beauty queen style
High heels off, I'm feelin' alive
Oh my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above are sizzlin' like a snare
Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothin' scares me anymore
Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby, you the best
I got that summertime, summertime sadness
Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness, oh, oh, oh
I got that summertime
I got that summertime
I got that summertime
I got that summertime, summertime sadness
I got that summertime
I got that summertime
I got that summertime, summertime sadness
I'm feelin' electric tonight
Cruisin' down the coast, goin' 'bout 99
Got my bad baby by my heavenly side
I know if I go, I'll die happy tonight
Oh my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above are sizzlin' like a snare
Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothin' scares me anymore
Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby, you the best
I got that summertime, summertime sadness
Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness, oh, oh, oh
I got that summertime
I got that summertime, summertime sadness
Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness, oh, oh, oh
Got that summertime
I got that summertime, summertime sadness
Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness, oh, oh, oh
"Summertime Sadness" by Lana Del Rey is a melancholic yet romantic track that perfectly depicts the end of summer feelings. The lyrics start with Del Rey urging her lover to kiss her hard before leaving her. She then admits that she has summertime sadness and that her lover is the best. In the chorus, Del Rey repeats the lyrics "I got that summertime, summertime sadness," which indicates that the sadness is linked to summertime. The second verse opens with Del Rey describing her appearance, which signifies the care she has taken to prepare for a night out. She then reveals that she is feeling electrified and cruising down the coast with her lover. She notes that her lover is her "bad baby" and that she will die happy tonight if she goes.
The chorus is then repeated, with Del Rey saying goodbye to her lover, seemingly forever. She draws an analogy between her emotions and the morning sky. Just like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky, Del Rey declares that she will miss her lover forever. However, Del Rey ultimately promises to keep going through life, driving forward, even after her lover is gone. Ultimately, "Summertime Sadness" is a powerfully emotive track that mixes feelings of melancholy, euphoria, and romanticism, taking the listener on an evocative journey.

@Summertimesadness.25
The dumbest wish as a kid was to be a grown up
@winterdreams4635
It’s funny how day by day nothing changes
but when you look back everything is different
I came back again and after reading the comment below me, I wanted to add an additional comment⬇️..
@He grew childer
You missed the point. Wishing to grow up fast and to be at this point in our lives today is regrettable, especially now that we are adults. We appreciate that time, when we were kids a lot more
@dodxt
it's sad😭☹️
@hegrewchilder8144
Even if you didn't wish you would still grow up its just the truth

Everyone says that Winter and fall is the time they're deppressed because of the sad weather. But it's really in Summer when everybody else is having fun but, you're stuck at home.
@albrechtkraas6511
That's so true😢
@shawnkessler7257
Summer because I don't have friends to hang with and winter because I cant do anything and its gloomy
@diggygorgonzola3467
