11 LANA DEL REY LYRICS ABOUT HAPPINESS

 Lana del Rey is an American songwriter and poetess best known for her angelic voice and her melancholic music. However, some of her songs are centered on the intense desire to find happiness, and they describe this almost ecstatic feeling of being happy and at peace. Her ability to evoke vivid colorful images with her words and the use of original metaphors are probably what makes Lana del Rey the best American songwriter of the 21st century.
