Lana Del Rey is Inspired by Heartbreak, May Not Record More Music

Controversial singer Lana Del Rey, who has recently been criticized for changing her image and name after her first music career attempt failed, has spoken on what inspires her new music. Lana says that her new album, ‘Born to Die’ which has already stormed the charts, is mostly inspired by heartbreak and her wild past. Lana felt that her whole personality changed after she fell in love with a certain someone:

“Even though I can’t be with that person anymore, I still want to honour those memories. I felt like falling in love changed me, neurologically and the record is about being faithful in my mind to the memory of that particular person. I’m in contact with his mother. He’s somewhere else but he’s around. The album is a tribute to living life on the wild side. I’m sort of kidding because I’m not that wild any more … I used to drink a lot. Too much. I haven’t had a drink for seven years now.”

Lana, whose father is a millionaire businessman, also speaks on helping the homeless before making it big, while she also struggled with alcohol rehabilitation:

“Homeless outreach, drug and alcohol rehabilitation – that’s been my life for the past five years. My friends are a core group I met through work, and they never really knew I was a singer, because nothing was ever happening. I consider myself coming out of retirement as a singer at this point.”

Lana says she may not write any more music because she feels as though she has said everything she wanted to say now:

“I don’t think I’ll write another record. What would I say? I feel like everything I want to say I’ve said already.”
