"Every Man Gets His Wish" is a hidden gem from Lana Del Rey's early days, recorded back in 2009 when she was still figuring out her sound as Lizzy Grant. The track is packed with all the classic Lana elements—cinematic lyrics, a mix of Hollywood fantasy and gritty reality, and that unmistakable sense of longing. With lines like "Every man gets his wish, where is mine?" and references to vintage Americana, it’s a raw, unpolished glimpse into the origins of her now-iconic style. It’s like catching a rehearsal of what would eventually become the Lana we know today, complete with dark twists and romantic melancholy. If you’re into deep cuts that give you a peek behind the curtain, this one’s a must-listen.
