Song Details:
“Venice Bitch” is a song by Lana Del Rey, released in September 2018 as the lead single from her album “Norman Fucking Rockwell!”. The song is over nine minutes long and is a dreamy, nostalgic tribute to youth and freedom.
The title “Venice Bitch” refers to a nickname given to the song’s protagonist by her lover. Venice Beach is a neighborhood in Los Angeles known for its bohemian vibe and beach culture, but the song’s lyrics make it clear that the location is meant to evoke a feeling rather than a specific place.
The song’s lyrics describe the protagonist’s memories of a summer romance, including trips to the beach, drinking and smoking, and watching the sunset. She is nostalgic for the freedom and carelessness of that time in her life, but also acknowledges that it was fleeting and that she can never go back.
The song’s structure is unconventional, with several distinct sections that flow together seamlessly. It begins with a slow, meandering guitar riff that sets a dreamy, contemplative mood. Del Rey’s vocals are hazy and ethereal, adding to the song’s wistful atmosphere.
After the first verse and chorus, the song transitions into a psychedelic instrumental section, with swirling guitars and keyboards that create a kaleidoscopic soundscape. This section continues for several minutes, building in intensity and volume before slowly fading out.
The song then returns to the original guitar riff and vocal melody, but with a new verse and chorus that build to a powerful climax. Del Rey’s vocals become more urgent and emotional, and the instrumentation becomes more intense and rock-oriented.
Throughout the song, Del Rey’s lyrics are filled with vivid imagery and evocative metaphors. She paints a picture of a summer romance that was both beautiful and fleeting, capturing the bittersweet nostalgia of looking back on a time that can never be recaptured.
“Venice Bitch” has been widely praised for its dreamy atmosphere, unconventional structure, and evocative lyrics. It showcases Del Rey’s unique blend of nostalgia, melancholy, and romanticism, and is considered one of the highlights of her career.
