Lana Del Rey – Video Games (Live on Letterman)

Forget SNL; whatever happened, happened. Haters are going to perpetually lead Lana down an abyss of comparisons and criticisms, but you should all see LDR performing the song that first got her noticed – ‘Video Games’ – live on Letterman last night. Starting off with a simplistic piano accompaniment, strings gradually join in to build momentum, making for a nice background both musically and visually against Lana’s usual stage stillness. I loved it. David evidently loved it from his proposal for her to return to the show right on the spot. Thoughts?
