On this day, 5 years ago Lana Del Rey released the music video for her song High By The Beach.

According to Wikipedia, the video is primarily shot in a hand-held camera technique with very little editing or cuts. The video begins with Del Rey wearing a low-cut white sundress over a black bra and a sea glass blue robe entering a beach house as a helicopter hovers above her. After entering the house, the camera follows Del Rey from behind as she walks upstairs, posing in front of a mirror and collapsing on her bed, randomly rolling on it.  Del Rey then runs outside onto the beach and pulls out a guitar case from beneath a pile of rocks. When she returns to the balcony, she opens the case and removes a large firearm from it. She turns toward the photographer and fires the gun at the helicopter, destroying it and the photographer.

As of August 2020, the video amasssed a total of 115 M views.

A synth-led, trap-inspired indie pop song, High By The Beach was one of the last songs made for Honeymoon and served as the album's lead single.
