We still haven’t heard any bits of Taylor Swiftthe long-awaited new album from Midnightswhich will be released later this month, but little by little she dropped song titles and other tidbits, including the exciting news that Lana Del Rey appears on the fourth track, “Snow On The Beach”. She talked more about the song, and Lana, in a video she posted to Instagram last night:
“Snow on the Beach” featuring Lana Del Rey is track 4 of Midnights, and I can’t pass that sentence without a smile because I’m a huge Lana Del Rey fan. More on that later. “Snow on the Beach,” the song, is about falling in love with someone at the same time they fall in love with you in that kind of cataclysmic, fatal moment when you realize someone feels exactly the same as you. feel at the same time, and you’re looking around and saying, “Wait, is this real? Is it a dream? Is it real? Is this happening? Is this really happening? A bit like seeing snow falling on a beach.
Lana Del Rey, in my opinion, is one of the greatest musical artists of all time. The fact that I can exist at the same time as her is an honor and a privilege, and the fact that she is generous enough to collaborate with us on this song is something I will be forever grateful for. I absolutely love it, and I really hope you love this song as much as I do.
