If you're a paparazzi, you had better watch out for Lana Del Rey. All she wants to do is get "High by the Beach." Today (Aug. 13), Del Rey revealed the latest music video from her new album Honeymoon, and the "gangster Nancy Sinatra" is getting a little vengeful on the shore.
"High by the Beach" starts off like a great many Del Rey music videos - the atmospheric pop star is staying at a house on the edge of the beach, and she's standing on the balcony looking dreamy and a little bit forlorn.
Soon, though, the music video takes a little bit of a turn as Del Rey runs through her house. After flopping down on her bed in a just-so manner, she flips through the pages of a tabloid magazine, and it's revealed that she's a frequent topic of the gossip rags. And right outside her window, which should be a place of peace, there is a massive paparazzi helicopter, taking pictures of her within her home.
Del Rey then runs from the photographers and finds her way outside the home and to a guitar case she's hidden in the rocks.
Only, well, the case doesn't house a guitar so much as a massive weapon. And in the search for peace, Del Rey doesn't seem afraid to use it.
"High by the Beach" is the second song to be released from Del Rey's upcoming third studio album Honeymoon, following the release of the record's title track. Honeymoon is due to be released in September.
