Here you'll find information and links to Lana Del Rey's music videos. Videos were made to accompany her released singles as normal, aswell as some promotional singles, but there also exist some home made videos to accompany her earlier work. This of course includes the video for Video Games, the one that caused her to be a viral hit, launching her into stardom.

In the home-made movies, she alternates between clips of herself recorded with a webcam and scenes/stills from favoured movies. It is hard to determine whether all home made videos are official, however, and not just edited by fans.

Be My Baby Tonight (Lolita)[]

Be My Baby Tonight was another name for, or possibly the early version's name of, the song Lolita, which is featured on her Born to Die album. She created a home-made video of the song, the audio we hear is that of the demo version.

The second version leaked the 14th of October 2012, all links for it have disappeared, however.

Blue Jeans[]

Blue Jeans was the third single to be released from the Born to Die album. It was directed by Yoann Lemoine. There are two videos to watch, one home-made like Video Games, and an official video.

Lana's tattooed love interest is model Bradley Soileau, who also plays her beau in the Born to Die video. It seems to depict another fatal attraction, a heavy theme in her music.

Blue Velvet[]

Blue Velvet was part of the H&M advertising campaign, and was released as a promotional single. Rather than shoot a typical advert for the campaign, they decided to shoot a full length music video, directed by Johan Renck.

The video shows Lana singing in front of an audience, some of them her clones. In other scenes she is being hypnotized, and sitting at a dressing table with a sailor on the bed nearby. It has been compared to the works of David Lynch. The video also possesses some reference to Lana's nay-sayers. At the end of the video, a 'little man' pulls the plug on her singing career, and she merely smiles away.

Born to Die[]

Born to Die was the second single released from the Born to Die album, and an official video was made to accompany it.

In the official video we see Lana with her beau, the model Bradley Soileau, in a seemingly passionate but unstable relationship. They set off in a car trip with an unfortunate ending. This is alternated with scenes of Lana sat on a throne in the Palace Chapel, beside two tigers.

Carmen[]

Carmen was released as a promotional single in Germany, Austria and Switzerland in January 2012. In April that year, she released a music video online to accompany it. She directed it the video and features in it herself. I have read of there being two versions, but I am yet to encounter an official second.

The video is made up of images and brief scenes, portraying both the glamour and dark side of the high life, fitting in with the lyrics and meaning of the song very well.

The video ends with the song Gymnopédie No.1” by Erik Satie.

Lana quoted Walter Whitman's I Sing the Body Electric poem in the comments section of the video, possibly as a teaser to her upcoming Body Electric song.

Apparently a homemade video exists, but it has not yet been released.

July 30th, 2014 Noisey released a home-made looking video of Lana Del Rey in an unconventional looking wedding headdress and dress.

Video Games []

Video Games is the song and music video that made Lana a viral hit, launching her career. The official video was kept as the home made one uploaded by Lana on her youtube account. It was edited by herself, and inspired by the films of Tim van den Hoff and Andrew Livingston. She uploaded the video with the taglines 'HOLLYWOOD SAD CORE SUMMERTIME SADNESS DOPE'. There are two versions, the rarer of the two being the original video.

Lana said of the video "Had I known so many people were going to watch the video, I'd have put some more eff­ort into it. I would have got my hair and make-up done and tried not to be so pouty, seeing as everyone talks about my face all the time. And I'd have put more of a storyline into it."

Because she had never intended the video for commercial use, she never asked for copyright permission, and so was sued.
