Lana Del Rey releases a new song titled Looking for America. Available for download and streaming, the song is the singer’s response to the recent back-to-back mass shootings over the weekend. 20 people were killed on Saturday at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas. Yesterday, nine people were killed by a separate gunman at a bar in Dayton, Ohio.
Took a flight to New York City
I miss that Hudson River line
Took the train back to Lake Placid
That’s another space and time
Where we used to go to drive-ins and listen to the blues
So many things that I think twice about before I do, yeah
The new track was released ahead of her forthcoming new album, Norman Fucking Rockwell, which comes out later this month. “Hi folks came back early from Montecito with my brother this morning and asked Jack Antonoff to come into town because I had a song on my mind that I wanted to write,” she writes in an Instagram caption. “Now I know I’m not a politician and I’m not trying to be so excuse me for having an opinion- but in light of all of the mass shootings and the back to back shootings in the last couple of days which really affected me on a cellular level I just wanted to post this video.”
